    How Powerful is Israel? - YouTube !!! English English Add subtitles/CC
    Israel’s right wing Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was just reelected for the fourth
    time. His party’s war hawk ideology has been a source of severe tension between Israel,
    Palestine and their neighbors. But those strained, and often violent relations go back the entirety
    of Israel’s 67-year history. In the middle of one of the world’s most controversial
    disputes, we wanted to know, just how powerful is Israel?
    Well, since it’s foundation, Israel has been growing in size. The original
    UN
    partition allocated
    square miles for about a million inhabitants. Today, nearly

    square miles. Israel’s population density rivals that
    of India and surpasses Japan. This is unsurprising, as Israel holds religious significance not
    only for the 75% of Jews who live there, but also the Muslims and Christians who populate
    the area as well. So, how does Israel fare economically?
    Although they’re on the smaller side, Israel’s GDP is around
    billion, ranking them
    worldwide, and 19th on the UN’s Human Development Index. Israel is a high-tech start-up hotspot.
    It’s nicknamed “Silicon Wadi”, after the Arabic word for “Valley”. Some have
    pointed to their cultural emphasis on education, and disproportionate number of scientists
    and engineers, as the leading cause of the ongoing technological boom. Many wealthy American
    figureheads have praised and invested in Israel’s economy as well, including Bill Gates and
    Warren Buffett. Israel is also home to one of the largest diamond cutting and polishing
    industries, although the land itself is low on natural resources. Additionally, Israel
    attracts millions of tourists every year, a significant source of income.
    However, when discussing Israel’s worldwide influence, it is their military and defense
    technology that brings them the most attention. Israel is one of the world’s largest arms
    producers, supplying 10% of all military equipment, mostly to the US and EU. More than
    drones come from Israel. With such a large arms supply, it is probably unsurprising that
    Israel has the most powerful military in the Middle East and ranks
    are able to maintain this lead by devoting as much as
    They are also helped by their special and significant relationship with the United States.
    The US sends Israel more than 3 billion dollars a year in military aid. This partnership gives
    the US a strong foothold in the Middle East. In return, the US uses its international might
    to defend Israel from UN resolutions in their ongoing dispute with Palestine. Israel is
    also protected by it’s position as a major non-NATO ally. However, during Barack Obama’s
    presidency, tensions between the two countries have grown over Iran’s attempts for nuclear
    power, and Israel’s continued settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan
    Heights.
    All in all, despite their vulnerable position in the Middle East, Israel has been able to
    hold it’s own for over half a century. Their mixture of military dominance, international
    support, and economic strength makes Israel one of the world’s most powerful countries.
    But what they do with that power is the source of much debate.
    It’s impossible to talk about the situation in Israel without looking at the bigger picture.

    One of the biggest myths about the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it's been going on for centuries,
    that this is all about ancient religious hatreds.
    In fact, while religion is involved, the conflict is mostly about two groups of people who claim
    the same land.
    And it really only goes back about a century, to the early
    Around then, the region along the eastern Mediterranean we now call
    Israel-Palestine had been under Ottoman rule for centuries.
    It was religiously diverse, including mostly Muslims and Christians but also a small number
    of Jews, who lived generally in peace.
    And it was changing in two important ways.
    First, more people in the region were developing a sense of being not just ethnic Arabs
    but Palestinians, a distinct national identity.
    At the same time, not so far away in Europe, more Jews were joining a movement called Zionism,
    which said that Judaism was not just a religion but a nationality, one that deserved a nation
    of its own.
    And after centuries of persecution, many believed a Jewish state was their only way of
    safety.
    And they saw their historic homeland in the Middle East as their best hope for establishing it.
    In the first decades of the
    After World War One, the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the British and French Empires carved
    up the Middle East, with the British taking control of a region it called the British
    Mandate for Palestine.
    At first, the British allowed Jewish immigration.
    But as more Jews arrived, settling into farming communes, tension between Jews and Arabs grew.
    Both sides committed acts of violence.
    And by the 1930s, the British began limiting Jewish immigration. In response, Jewish militias
    formed to fight both the local Arabs and to resist British rule.
    Then came the Holocaust, leading many more Jews to flee Europe for British Palestine,
    and galvanizing much of the world in support of a Jewish state.
    In
    the United Nations approved a plan to divide British Palestine into two separate states:
    one for Jews, Israel, and one for Arabs, Palestine.
    The city of Jerusalem, where Jews, Muslims, and Christians
    all have have holy sites, it was to become a special international zone.

    The plan was meant to give Jews a state, to establish Palestinian independence, and to
    end the sectarian violence that the British could no longer control.
    The Jews accepted the plan and declared independence as Israel.
    But Arabs throughout the region saw the UN plan as just more European colonialism trying to steal their land.
    Many of the Arab states, who had just recently won independence themselves, declared war on Israel
    in an effort to establish a unified Arab Palestine where all of British Palestine had been.
    The new state of Israel won the war. But in the process, they pushed well past their borders
    under the UN plan, taking the western half of Jerusalem and much of the land that was
    to have been part of Palestine.
    They also expelled huge numbers of Palestinians from their homes, creating a massive refugee
    population whose descendants today number about
    At the end of the war, Israel controlled all of the territory except for Gaza, which Egypt
    controlled, and the West Bank, named because it's west of the Jordan River, which Jordan
    controlled.
    This was the beginning of the decades-long Arab-Israeli conflict.
    During this period, many Jews in Arab-majority countries fled or were expelled, arriving
    in Israel.
    Then something happened that transformed the conflict. In
    Arab states fought another war.
    When it ended, Israel had seized the Golan Heights from Syria, the West Bank from Jordan,
    and both Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.
    Israel was now occupying the Palestinian territories, including all of Jerusalem and its holy sites.
    This left Israel responsible for governing the Palestinians – a people it had fought
    for decades.
    In
    Israel and Egypt signed the US-brokered Camp David Accords and shortly after that,
    Israel gave Sanai back to Egypt as part of a peace treaty.
    At the time this was hugely controversial in the Arab world.
    Egypt President Anwar Sadat was assassinated in part because of outrage against it.
    But it marked the beginning of the end of the wider Arab-Israeli conflict.
    Over the next few decades, the other Arab states gradually made peace with Israel, even
    if they never signed formal peace treaties.
    But Israel's military was still occupying the Palestinian territories of the West Bank
    and Gaza, and this was when the conflict became an Israeli-Palestinian struggle.
    The Palestinian Liberation Organization, which had formed in the
    state, fought against Israel, including through acts of terrorism.
    Initially, the PLO claimed all of what had been British Palestine, meaning it wanted
    to end the state of Israel entirely.
    Fighting between Israel and the PLO went on for years, even including a
    Israeli invasion
    of Lebanon to kick the group out of Beirut.
    The PLO later said it would accept dividing the land between Israel and Palestine,
    but the conflict continued.
    As all of this was happening, something dramatic was changing in the Israel-occupied Palestinian
    territories: Israelis were moving in.
    These people are called settlers, and they made their homes in the West Bank and Gaza
    whether Palestinians wanted them or not.
    Some moved for religious reasons, some because they want to claim the land for Israel, and
    some just because housing is cheap — and often subsidized by the Israeli government.
    Some settlements are cities with thousands of people; others are small communities
    deep into the West Bank
    The settlers are followed by soldiers to guard them, and the growing settlements force Palestinians
    off of their land and divide communities.
    Short-term, they make the occupation much more painful for Palestinians.
    Long-term, by dividing up Palestinian land, they make it much more difficult
    for the Palestinians to ever have an independent state.
    Today there are several hundred thousand settlers in occupied territory even though the international
    community considers them illegal.
    By the late 1980s, Palestinian frustration exploded into the Intifada, which is the the Arabic word
    for uprising.
    It began with mostly protests and boycotts but soon became violent, and Israel responded
    with heavy force.
    A couple hundred Israelis and over a thousand Palestinians died in the first Intifada.
    Around the same time, a group of Palestinians in Gaza, who consider the PLO too secular and
    too compromise-minded, created Hamas, a violent extremist group dedicated to Israel's destruction.
    By the early 1990s, it's clear that Israelis and Palestinians have to make peace, and leaders
    from both sides sign the Oslo Accords.
    This is meant to be the big, first step toward Israel maybe someday withdrawing from the Palestinian
    territories, and allowing an independent Palestine.
    The Oslo Accords establish the Palestinian Authority, allowing Palestinians a little
    bit of freedom to govern themselves in certain areas.
    Hard-liners on both sides opposed the Oslo accords. Members of Hamas launch suicide bombings
    to try to sabotage the process.
    The Israeli right protests peace talks, with ralliers calling Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
    a traitor and a Nazi.
    Not long after Rabin signs the second round of Oslo Accords, a far-right Israeli shoots
    him to death in Tel Aviv.
    This violence showed how the extremists on both sides can use violence to derail peace,
    and keep a permanent conflict going as they seek the other side's total destruction.
    That's a dynamic that's been around ever since.
    Negotiations meant to hammer out the final details on peace drag on for years, and a
    big Camp David Summit in
    comes up empty.
    Palestinians come to believe that
    peace isn't coming, and rise up in a Second Intifada, this one much more violent than
    the first.
    By the time it wound down a few years later,
    about 1,000 Israelis and
    Palestinians had died.
    The Second Intifada really changes the conflict. Israelis become much more skeptical that Palestinians
    will ever accept peace, or that it's even worth trying.
    Israeli politics shift right, and the country builds walls and checkpoints
    to control Palestinians' movements.
    They're not really trying to solve the conflict anymore, just manage it.
    The Palestinians are left feeling like negotiating didn't work and violence didn't work, that
    they're stuck under an ever-growing occupation with no future as a people.
    That year, Israel withdraws from Gaza. Hamas gains power but splits from the Palestinian
    Authority in a short civil war, dividing Gaza from the West Bank.
    Israel puts Gaza under a suffocating blockade, and unemployment rises to
    This is the state of the conflict as we know it today.
    It’s relatively new, and it’s unbearable for Palestinians.
    In the West Bank, more and more settlements are smothering Palestinians, who often respond
    with protests and sometimes with violence, though most just want normal lives.
    In Gaza, Hamas and other violent groups have periodic wars with Israel.
    The fighting overwhelmingly kills Palestinians, including lots of civilians.
    In Israel itself, most people have become apathetic, and for the most part the occupation
    keeps the conflict relatively removed from their daily lives, with moments of brief but
    horrible violence.
    There's little political will for peace.
    No one really knows where the conflict goes from here.
    Maybe a Third Intifada. Maybe the Palestinian Authority collapses.
    But everyone agrees that things, as they are now, can't last much longer -- that Israel’s occupation
    of the Palestinians is too unstable to last, and that, unless something dramatic
    changes, whatever comes next will be much worse. *** ***
