Britain in Palestine 1917-1948 investigates the contradictory promises and actions which defined British Mandatory rule in Palestine and laid the groundwork for the Nakba (the catastrophe) and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The roots of the contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental landscape of Palestine and Israel can be traced back to this period, making it essential viewing for understanding Britain’s legacy in the region and the situation on the ground today.

Reviews
“A very useful explanation of how we got to where we are today. Fascinating photos I had not seen before. A great resource to show in any classroom or forum to people who want to learn more about this region, and specifically, Britain’s involvement. Afif Safieh, Former Palestinian Ambassador
“…This film brilliantly puts into perspective the role the United Kingdom played in Mandate Palestine from 1917-1948.” Rabbi Howard Finkelstein, Ontario, Canada
“This is an excellent short 18-min video from @BalfourProject explaining briefly but super-clearly how British colonialism has caused a century of war in Palestine.” Matthew Teller, Journalist and author of Nine Quarters of Jerusalem: A New Biography of the Old City (2022)
“Britain in Palestine 1917 - 1948 is a clear, precise and factual explanation of the historical origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. For anyone who wants to develop a real understanding of the issue but is intimidated by it’s complexity, this film is the place to start.” Judah Passow, Photojournalist

As per usual you don't understand the circumstances under which we were dragged into this nonsense. None of the Brits wanted to be there as the "Arab" problem has been raging for millennia and there will NEVER be an answer. If you think you could do better negotiating boarders, have at it! If they were so upset they can cut religion out of the equation and throw dice. Funny how they have yet again turned to us for help - why do you think that is? It won't be happening but still...

The British Mandate for Palestine was not as originally shown in the map at 8:48! In 1918, at the end of WW1 the British Mandate contained all of what is present day Jordan. The Emirate of Transjordan was established on April 11, 1921 as a British protectorate. It was created after the Ottoman defeat in World War I and was administered under the Mandate for Palestine. The region was ruled by the Hashemite dynasty, which also ruled the neighbouring Mandatory Iraq and the Kingdom of Hejaz to the south. The Emirate of Transjordan remained a British protectorate until it achieved formal independence on May 25, 1946 and was renamed the “Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.” All Population figures from that time included all the people that were on the East Bank of the Jordan River in the land that would be given to the Hashemite family for the Kingdom of Transjordan. All Jews that lived in that territory were transferred to the other side of the River Jordan, with all land to the East of that river being Jew free. So in comparing population figures of Arabs and Jews from that period have to take that into consideration. Also, 10 years prior in 1910 Pogroms were still being initiated against Jews living in the land by the Ottoman Empire. 6,000 Jews were expelled to Cairo in Egypt in 1910. I found that in 1917, the Ottoman authorities in Palestine ordered the deportation of 8,000 Jewish inhabitants from Jaffa and Tel Aviv. The deportation was carried out on April 6, 1917, and was accompanied by severe violence, starvation, theft, persecution, and abuse. The evicted civilians were not allowed to carry off their belongings, and it is thought that about 1,500 of the evicted people died as a result of the deportation. Since Jews first started returning to the land during what is called the First Aliyah, even greater amounts of Arabs were allowed to settle in the land by firstly the Ottomans and then the British, who actively encouraged the settling of Arabs that came from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and further afield, to make sure that there would not be a Jewish majority. The Palestine White Paper was a policy statement issued by the British government in 1922. It was drafted at the request of Winston Churchill, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, partly in response to the 1921 Jaffa Riots. The official name of the document was “Palestine: Correspondence with the Palestine Arab Delegation and the Zionist Organisation” 2. The paper emphasized that the establishment of a national home would not impose a Jewish nationality on the Arab inhabitants of Palestine. It also called for a limitation of Jewish immigration to the economic capacity of the country to absorb new arrivals. The Palestine White Paper was one of several policy statements issued by the British government regarding Mandatory Palestine between 1922 and 1946. were

The British promised the people a Palestinian state. And in fact they were offered a Palestinian state. Did the British literally tell them they could have every square inch of land? If so, cite the source. The British also offered a smaller state to the Jewish who were there as well. Which honestly, is pretty fair IMO. The idea it is was a gigantic conspiracy from the start is playing up the "oppressed" card.

I suspect they weren't looking that far ahead. The reports I've looked at agree that in about 1919 some religious-minded Brits thought it'd be a neat idea to put zionist jews in the "holy" land. This was worked out between 1919 and 1947 with minor fights. The brits promised the zionists land that they had no business promising and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly removed from their lands. In 1948, when all hell broke loose the brits left and told the league of nations to sort it out. And here we are in 2024 with NOTHING sorted.

Brilliant video and it helped me understand my childhood in Cairo in the 1946 to 1949 timeframe. I think that post the chaos in Palestine where the Brits just walked away and left it to the UN my Dad was part of trying to make sure the handover in Egypt from King Farouk to a new Republic under President Colonel Nasser went as smoothly as possible. Mind you even the best laid plans can go wrong, especially where Geopolitics are involved! So it wasn't many years before 1956 came along with the Suez ownership/control issue and that was effectively the real end of British and French power in the whole "Middle East" Region. Looking at it 70 plus years on from a 2024 perspective of an Octogenarian (which may include President Biden), it is all happening again with control of the Red Sea short cut trade route. The Arabs getting bombed this time are in Yemen instead of Egypt. There is a lesson to be learned which is that ships, especially if they are full of oil, are super vulnerable. All it takes to stop one is a cardboard drone in the hands of a few people. In Ukraine right now thousands of simple people are being shown how to arm and control drones. How to wage war has become a totally new "Ball Game". Diplomacy and win-win Scenarios are possible but how much sensible negotiation and with whom can go on in an Election Year is certainly in doubt. So look out for lots of posturing and let's hope that proportional responses are seen for what they are which is" No solution yet" escalation. As probably all of us have experienced during our school days. Who did something wrong and who get's the blame are often not the same thing. If the innocent are blamed there will be long term feelings of injustice and unintended consequences from the good guys and also the bad guys who got away with it and will probably do it again!

It's flabbergasting how much information is missing in this piece. The plans to take over Palestine began much earlier than 1914, to make a Zionist state for Britain. Benjamin Disraeli comes to mind, and also all the brains behind the entire operation belonged to an Isis cult. Young Churchill was also involved - a true warmonger. Nesta Webster quote from Germany and England: "England is no longer controlled by Britons. We are under the invisible [G]ewish dictatorship-a dictatorship that can be felt in every sphere of life."

The history is far more complicated. One might assume the Arabs (as they were termed as Palestine was not a nation nor a people, but an area) occupied less than 5% of the land and the Jews occupied a similar area. The land was largely unoccupied, as they are no natural resources there. Hamas would have people believe "Palestinians" occupied the entire area and Jews displaced them. In fact, Jews raised money and bought many Palestinian plots, though the price paid is indeed good for debate.
@shooka2048
@shooka2048 6 місяців тому
@@A190xx I just checked the statistics; You can google it too: Based on a '1922 census of Palestine' conducted by the British, the total population of Palestine was 78% Muslims, 11% Jews, 9% Christians and 9,474 others. Since1920, British forces actively started to help the Zionist movement for mass immigration of jewish people to the region (along with lots of other immoral unfair ugly things and oppressions they did against the native Palestinian people) till we reach the even uglier year of 1948. It's actually not that complicated (despite Zionists trying to tell you so), not for people who do their research to know the truth and has a moral compass. It seems it has been a strategic plan by Zionists to take the whole region eventually and expel native people. And they killed lots of people and manipulated and corrupted many things since then in my view. It was very immoral and is still very immoral.

The pull out of Great Britain from Palestine and the subsequent creation of Israel, was due in no small part, to pressure exerted by US president Harry S. Truman. Britain was at that time entirely dependent on US finance to rebuild its economy and it didn't take much to persuade the country to relinquish responsibility in what had become a bloody conflict abroad. The US President was the first world leader to officially recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state on May 14, 1948, only eleven minutes after its creation.

I would think then that the tales of their settlements and invasions of Wales and Scotland may be of historical value. Alas, all that's left is Scottish football fans. Incidentally, and lest we forget, Gaza or the West Bank are not remotely similar to Ireland. Except of course in one small way. Ireland continually asked the French and the Spanish to come over and invade England. Turns out jihads often don't end up too well well for the jihadis. Some learn lessons sooner than others. Also incidentally, the Normans weren't English despite what you may have been taught at school.

Not a "problem" - the film tells it as it was. There was no Jordan (created 1946, a large chunk of Palestine), or Syria (created 1945). Iraq and Saudi Arabia were created in 1932. And as far as the subject of this film goes, all the above were united as Arabs in their opposition to any partition proposal allowing Israel to exist even as a tiny sliver of land where the most of the Jewish population was (and had been for millenia).

When they gave up and left it to the UN the Jews gained a bit more territory. Interesting that from 1948-167 the Arab states had 19 years to organise a Palestinian homeland. Instead, Jordan annexed the West Bank and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip. At least the British and UN at least pretended to be interested in a Palestinian homeland.

There were no Palestinians in Israel 200 years ago; Arabs began to appear in Israel after Zionist Jews began to settle there. Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol - 1848. From a letter to Zhukovsky (02/28/1850), in which Gogol describes his impressions of his pilgrimage to Palestine: Noting that in ancient times it was “possibly” a flourishing country, Gogol writes: “but now, when it is rare, rare to see five or six olive trees along the entire slope of the mountain, the color of their land is as grayish and dusty as the most the rocks of the mountains, when only a thin layer of moss and patchy patches of grass turn green in the middle of this naked, uneven field of stones, and after some five or six hours of travel you come across an Arab’s hut somewhere stuck to the mountain, more like a clay pot, a stove , an animal burrow than a human dwelling - how can you recognize the land of milk and honey in such a place? Imagine, in the midst of such desolation, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and all the eastern cities, looking like randomly stacked piles of stones and bricks; imagine the Jordan, skinny in the middle of the naked mountainous surroundings, here and there overshadowed by small willow bushes; imagine in the midst of such desolation at the feet of Jerusalem the valley of Jehoshaphat with several stones and grottoes, as if the tombs of the kings of Judah.” “Really, I don’t know what I can tell you about Palestine that would lead you to beneficial thoughts and encourage you to take up your pen and your poem with inspiration.” Mark Twain - 1867. "Simps Abroad" Palestine can rightfully be considered a queen among lands whose very appearance causes despondency. Its mountains are barren and ugly, their colors are dull. The valleys are unsightly deserts with stunted vegetation, which emanates melancholy and squalor. The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee sleepily numb among the deserted mountains and plains, where there is nothing to rest the eye on - there is nothing bright or striking here, there are no gentle landscapes dormant in a purple haze or dotted with the shadows of clouds floating in the sky. All cutting outlines, all lines are clear; there is no perspective here - in the distance everything is just as devoid of charm as up close. A joyless, gloomy and mournful land. However, some of its shreds and shreds must be beautiful in the bloom of spring - all the more beautiful since they are surrounded on all sides by a bare desert, which has no end or edge. I would very much like to see the banks of the Jordan in the spring, and Shechem too, and Ezdrilon, and Aijalon, and the shores of the Sea of Galilee - but even in the spring they would all seem like just toy gardens, planted far from each other in the endless desert. Palestine is a deserted and unsightly land... Palestine no longer belongs to our everyday life; prosaic world. It is given over to poetry and legends - it is a land of dreams

Can I suggest you also find other additional sources. I find this video lacking. Also, bear in mind that the Brits were not in Palestine as "colonisers". They were given the role of protectorate by the League of Nations at the end of WW1. The aim was to help the now defeated land, once belonging to the Ottoman Empire, to become self governing. The protectorate was meant to be temporary. There's nothing straightforward in the making of Palestine. WW2 followed hot on the heels of WW1. We all know of the diaspora of Jews and anti-Semitism in Russia and Europe. So much was thrown into the mix and the mix was more complicated than the video suggests. Happy history trawling and good luck in trying to get to "the truth".

Empire is always and everywhere an exercise in control. Formerly this was mainly by force but progressively as communications have improved, propaganda has played more and more of a role. As the internet has democratised propaganda, force is making a comeback. The great mass of the British people, no less than the rest of the empire, were thought controlled and still are. Very few, if any, understood the Machiavellian statesmanship of the time. Just as few really understand it today but the power behind the throne is still making decisions which kill hundreds of thousands, not to mention their self-serving liberal doctrines which are driving ancient peoples to go extinct.

anywhere the Arab Muslims were outside of Arabia, they were there by war, violence and conquest, even invading Europe, conquering Spain, and had it not been for some crucial great victories by some courageous Europeans, all of Europe would have been lost. Muslims raped and pillaged, took slaves and women for their harems. It is they who took land they had no business being in. And the Ottoman Turks were equally rotten, including GENOCIDE in Armenia. as for the video, he speaks in the practiced mellow tones of NPR, and mixes truth and fiction, and leaves out important facts. such as?

The same thing as on Oct. 7: torture, rape, beheadings. One of the examples there was a Jewish pharmacist, a cripple, who treated Arabs for decades. The Arabs took his eyes out, raped and killed his daughters and beheaded his grandchildren. Did I mention that Israel did not exist then?

Good Documentary of a a very complicated historical period. I visited Israel in April 2023 (I was in Tel Aviv as a tourist when some of rockets hit nearby). I went to some of the museums when their and they discussed basically everything you just mentioned. I spoke to a Christian Palestinian who worked in Israel but live in Bethlehem. Who had a very pragmatic view of the circumstances. She mentioned that all Palestinians had the same label on them (as in all are terrorists) and that life was very difficult for them and her family had lived in Bethlehem (west bank) for many generations and lived in peace with there Muslims cousins. There is unfortunately a lot of BIAS in the news about the conflict, either focused on the Jewish or the Palestinian point of view. One thing I learned is I am not in a position to make an opinion about this! Its a mess lets be honest and It upsets me when people die because of ideologies. I do wish a peaceful settlement would occur, but don't know how. But killing innocents isn't right.
