Capiamo davvero ISRAELE e PALESTINA | Parte 1

When we talk about Israel and Palestine, the first question we should ask ourselves is: what words do we use and why? In this video, we analyze the power of language in the most complex issue in the history of international relations: where the name Palestine comes from, what Zionism, or rather, Zionisms, really is, and why the British Mandate was a turning point in the history of the Middle East. We'll discover how each term, from "Palestine" to "Jewish national home," carries with it centuries of debate and different interpretations. A journey through historical sources, UN documents, and original quotes to understand how words have shaped and continue to influence one of the most complex issues of our time.
