*NOTES/CORRECTIONS* 1. This is your last chance to participate in the 2023 viewer survey, as it closes at the end of this month: forms.gle/kJkMuvZNQex4oNYa9 2. I can’t guarantee that my next video, which will be the last of this run of episodes, will be out in the usual three weeks. This is quite literally the biggest _thing_ I’ve ever done, and there’s just too much research, writing, artwork, and collabortion to know that a timely release is possible, especially as I’ll be traveling while working on it. It’ll come out when it comes out and I’ll try to make that as soon as possible, and in the meantime I’ll try to release some bonus content. 3. *CORRECTION:* Cemal Paşa’s meeting was only with Ben-Zvi, not Ben-Gurion. 4. I forgot to credit "Gordon's Niggun," a musical piece written by A.D. Gordon and performed by Nizzan Zvi Cohen.

Jewish history, religion and culture has been my major hyperfixation for 6 years I believe, maybe longer, and I still learn something every day, and still find joy in it. Actually, I think that now I have a better grasp on Jewish history than most of the actual Jewish people in my country, given that most of them are either Orthodox Christians or Atheists and don't care about their ancestry at all, which is *totally* cool, good for them to find their faiths elsewhere, but I wish we all had better connection with our roots.

Really enjoy your videos. Re: the Ottoman Empire ~ The ruling junta wasn't unified except in desire to maintain and abuse power unaccountably. Its members had few boundaries on manipulating each other, including treacherously consorting with foreign interests. War entry was foolish and (given the decision's dire seriousness) shockingly impetuous and poorly controlled even by the junta, and was not the result of a strong or unified pro-German alignment or war policy, though illusory early German war success played a role. Of course, the video is correct that war maximized the abuse of peaceful, potentially loyal Jews (plus obviously Armenians and others) as Cemal Pasha ruled Ottoman Syria and Palestine like a personal fiefdom.

6:46 Tangent, but it's pretty incredible that the US emerged from its civil war into a booming, rapidly growing economy. That basically never happens. Especially when the cause of the war was the economic system of the states in rebellion, and Union victory meant dismantling it. Imagine abolishing the economic system that supported a third of your population and *still* have an economic boom immediately follow. That is a truly astonishing rate of growth. (I could be petty and point out a suggestive correlation between the absence of certain states from Congress and Congress finally passing a bunch of growth-friendly bills that the absent states had been rejecting for at least a decade...)

The Israeli left to this day is dealing with the tension between international Socialism and national Zionism. I recently heard a former MK bragging about the diversity and constant leadership changes in the left. He's not lying, but this constant overturn of ideologies and personnel is mostly due to the evolution of the left (now identity politics progressivism) together with the built-in conflict with Zionism. Aside from the philosophical contradictions between the two poles, Marx and Herzl, the left has a problem with international politics. It's natural comrades everywhere are decisively anti Israeli in rhetoric and anti-Semitic in practice.

הי סם, אני עוקב ומעריץ את הערוץ שלך, אני חושש שהיו הרבה החברות משמעותיות ופערים בפרק הנוכחי.למשל - לא להזכיר את עקיבא אריה וייס בהקשר של תל אביב, אבל יש לי עוד הרבה דברים משמעותיים שנראים לי חסרים, לקראת סרטון השלמת הנושא שבטח תעשה

The fact that the need for an independent Jewish homeland, in the end became necessary anyway... It's a failure of all those groups who aren't Jewish to have protected our brothers and sisters. A world where Israel never needed to point so many guns outward...it was a nice dream. Maybe a dream with the future but...not now, not soon

It should, but "Religious Centre" is usually the English translation in contemporary media. Why yes, I have been reading 1930s election reports from the JTA.

בשביל מה בכלל צריך ללמוד היסטוריה בתיכון. מספיק לראות את הסרטונים שלך ובקלות לעבור את הבגרות. מה שמעניין שמה שמלמדים בתיכון הוא בדיוק אותו הדבר, רק עם דגש הרבה יותר גדול על האינטרסים של הקבוצה שדוחפת את האידיאולוגיה שלה על התלמידים. למשל יקטינו מאוד את הכיוון הנאיבי ולא יעיל של בן גוריון ופועלי ציון. וקצת יעלימו את טרומפלדור כי הוא היה קצת מסובך מדי להסביר.

I’m somewhat nostalgic for labor Zionism, but it just didn’t have what it took in the face of a nihilistic Arab death-cult. Working on Kibbutz Baram in 2003, I observed this ideological transition firsthand.

I appreciate the knowledge, but i find the randomness of the narrator's visual, non-moving representation jarring. It's like if you were reading a picture book to children, but every few pages is a picture of you. Lol I made myself laugh.
