The Convoluted Origins of Israel, Palestine, and God (2000-586 BCE) | Part 1 of 4 | Documentary

Israel has been at odds with Palestine—and with much of the Arab and Muslim world—for the past century… and it doesn’t look like it’s going to end anytime soon.

Few places on Earth have, through history, been as bitterly contested as this small piece of land, here, in the Middle East.

Hundreds of wars, thousands of battles… have been fought here.

From the Canaanites subdued under ancient Egyptian rule, to the earliest fights between Israelites and Philistines, to the birth of Judaism, to the Roman occupation of Judea—which caused millions of deaths in the ancient world—to Jesus’ preaching and crucifixion and the birth of Christianity, to the rapid expansion of Islam and its thousand-year hold over the region, claiming Jerusalem as a holy city alongside Judaism and Christianity, and finally, to the British partition dividing the land between Arabs and Jews in modern times… millions—if not tens of millions—have lost their lives in a desperate struggle to secure this land as their own.

The reasons for such relentless hostility? Unfortunately, they are…very convoluted.

As each generation fights over these ancient wounds, the story only deepens. It grows messier, crippled by half-truths, half-falsehoods, and fabrications, making it harder to heal—if healing is even possible.

This is how this Land became the Land of The Unending Tragedies.

Discover the convoluted origins of Israel and Palestine like never before.

Discover how Israeli and Palestinian national identities have evolved from their ancient roots into what they are today—to understand what caused the unending hostility between the two, and to understand what might lie ahead.

In this journey, you will uncover not just the origins of Israel and Palestine but also the origins of God Himself and the way He evolved.. from Judaism to Christianity to Islam.

One land, two names (Israel and Palestine), three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam)... four thousand years…

…of conflicts.
