Customer Reviews of The 50 Years War - Israel & The Arabs
Good but a bit dry The documentary is a really good introduction through different sources but gets a bit dry towards the end. It actually led me to look for other ways to learn more about the conflict. I stumbled across a video game called Global Conflicts: Palestine that is really worth a try.
Great movie but I received an "ILLEGAL COPY"
Great movie, but I'm still dissapointed with the seller.

Very objective
This is one of the best and most objective documentaries on the Arab-Israeli conflict. It covers the origins of this conflict since the days of the British mandate during which the mandate power failed to coerce coexistence of the two communities, the native Arabs and the growing Jewish one that was flooding into Palestine not only from oppressive Nazi Europe but also from other non-aligned countries around the world including Ottoman Arab states that prior to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, did not show any significant hostility toward their Jewish communities.
<
>The British mandate came to an end on May 15, 1948 when David Ben Guerion - Israel's first president - announced the creation of the state. This announcement made the armies of five surrounding Arab countries namely Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon invade Palestinian in an attempt to restore the status quo in favor of the Arab community and wipe out the new infant Jewish state.
<
>But unfolding events showed that while the Israelis had carefully done their homework by raising funds from Jews in the Diaspora, arming their militias and conscripting most of their able fighters, the Arabs had underestimated the Jews by sending in small armies without enough ammunition. The Jewish victory resulted in some Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in some areas. When the Arabs propagated such news to win sympathy of the world, they had actually spread fears among further Palestinian villagers who further flee their hometowns.
<
>But the conflict was not over in 1948 after Palestine was divided and in 1967, a rematch between the Arabs under the leadership of Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdul-Nasser and Israel resulted in further humiliating losses for the Arabs and this time Israel swept the whole of historic Palestine land along with the Egyptian Sinai and the Syrian Golan. A third war in 1973 resulted in a stalemate and opened negotiations that led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979, and Jordan and the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1993.
<
>The film is extremely well researched and narrated and the footages it has are extremely valuable. If you are interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict, this film should find its way to your library.
