Conflict in Israel and Palestine through 2015: Crash Course World History #223

*This video was published in 2015 and therefore does not reflect recent historical events, nor context about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.* In which John Green teaches you about the conflict in Israel and Palestine. This conflict is often cast as a long-term beef going back thousands of years, rooted in a clash between religions. Well, that's not quite true. What is true is that the conflict is immensely complicated, and just about everyone in the world has an opinion about it. John is going to try to get the facts across in under 13 minutes. Note: We mispronounced the Arabic word "nakba" at 6:06. Sorry about that! Citation 1: Arthur James Balfour, Balfour Declaration (letter to Baron Rothschild, leader of British Jewish community). 1917.
