0:18 ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง: Prehistoric human hunter-gatherers and settlers.
0:28 ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐: Many diverse groups (including the Philistines - origin of the name โPalestineโ). The figure is based on ancient Sumerian art.
0:38 ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ญ: Empire of the great river on the west (Nile)
0:48 ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ข๐: Empire of the great rivers on the east (Mesopotamia/Iraq)
0:56 ๐๐ฌ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐: The Old Testament describes their conquest as rather genocidal (Jushua 6-21)
1:06 ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง: Destroy the 1st temple of the Hebrews and exile them.
1:10 ๐๐๐๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ข๐๐ง/๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค: Alexander the Great!
1:18 ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค/๐๐๐๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ข๐๐ง: Alexanderโs generals divide the huge territories he conquered and fight each other.
1:24 ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐: Descendants of Alexanderโs general Ptolemy who rule Egypt (e.g. Cleopatra!)
1:28 ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐: Descendants of Alexanderโs general Seleucus who ruled Syria.
1:32 ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐: After the Persians conquer Babylon, king Cyrus the Great allows the Hebrews to return from exile and re-build their 2nd Temple in Jerusalem.
1:36 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Judah โThe Hammerโ fights the Seleucids and saves the Temple. The Jewish holiday Hanukah celebrates his victory.
1:48 ๐๐จ๐ฆe: After destroying the Hebrewโs 2nd Temple the Romans rename the Judaea province โPalestinian Syriaโ after the Philistine Canaanites.
1:56 ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ โ๏ธ: After the Roman Empire adopts Christianity itโs center moves eastwards to Constantinople (todayโs Istanbul, Turkey). Romans probably didnโt fight Byzantines, but itโs an animation.
1:58 ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฉ๐ก โช๏ธ: โreplaceโ Mohamed as rulers of the Islamic community (โummahโ), conquer territories larger than Rome.
2:01 ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ซ ๐ : killing in the name of Jesus Christ and establishing the โKingdom of Jerusalemโ.
2:04 ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ค ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ญ: Slaves used for fighting who became a powerful ruling caste
2:07 ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ: Ruling from Istanbul (formerly Christian Constantinople!) they build on the Temple mount in Jerusalem the famous โDome of the Rockโ and Al-Aqsa mosque.
2:10 ๐๐ซ๐๐: During WWI the British and French help the Arabs of the Middle East rebel against the Ottoman empire, then take over with a mandate from the โLeague of Nationsโ to help the locals form self-ruling nation-states. Bad idea!
2:12 ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐ฌ๐ง: promised the land to both the Arabs and the Zionist Jews as part of the good old โdivide and ruleโ strategy. It was useful not only to send the long-hated Jews out of Europe but straight into a clash with the Muslims. You see, Islam was that younger sister religion who had similar global aspirations, so getting it bogged down in a fight with the Jews allows the Christians to just sell arms to both sides, condescendingly condemn them, and secretly wish both to perish.
2:19 ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐๐ง ๐ต๐ธ : They were 90% of the ~700,000 population in 1917 and got angry when the British then promised the land to the Jews, who were then just 10%. They got more angry (and belligerent) as the British didnโt stop the continued influx of Jewish migrants whose number doubled 10 times over the next 30 years from just ~60,000 to ~600,000 to 1947. The Arab population only doubled from ~600,000 to ~1.2 million, mainly due to high fertility rates.
2:27 ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ: Desperate and traumatized by European racist nationalism, pogroms and death camps, Jewish Zionist settlers were excited to return to their ancient homeland, promised both by their grandparentsโ God (they themselves were mostly secular) and the British Empire and League of Nations. They were quite surprised to discover that the land wasnโt empty.
2:39 ๐๐๐/๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ/๐๐๐ณ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐: Various militarized resistance movements, supported by other Muslim countries.
2:45 ๐๐ฌ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ (๐๐๐ ): With tons of USA-given weapons, and the only nukes in the region.
2:51 ๐๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐/๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐๐ซ/๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ: Creeping up alongside are illicit nukes possibly from Iran or elsewhere in the region. Whoโs Next?
3:02 ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐: His little idea of exclusive ownership of land proved super effective. His real aim is global.

This clip is the revised 2017 version that the genius (!) animator ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ created: I only added the captions (turn them on!) and the detailed description above. Her original 2012 version wrongly showed the Zionist settlers as ultra orthodox Jews, while in fact most were secular (2:27): The song is from the 1960s movie Exodos: (Copying is an act of love!)
It is now the ending scene of her 2018 full feature โSeder-Masochismโ. Trailer:
