Why is there so much conflict between Israelis and Palestinians? Ep. 156

In the last episode, Dave reviewed approximately 3000 years of the history of the city of Jerusalem. In this episode, we pick up where we left off in the era of WWI, and we learn about some of the history contributing to the turmoil between Israelis and Palestinians we see today.

“Can Israelis and Palestinians See Eye to Eye?” via Jubilee (Middle Ground series on YouTube): https://bit.ly/32VJn2F I really appreciated this video that sought to put real Israelis and real Palestinians in a room together to have a civil conversation about the issues.

Notes:

— I apologize in advance if advocates of either side feel I left out important information. There is a huge amount of important information that deserves to be talked about, but that I didn’t have space for in this short-format video. Feel free to fill in the blanks in the comments section. The purpose of this video was to simply give those who are unfamiliar with this controversy a brief overview of the main themes and general crux of the conflict.
