The ENTIRE History of Israel (History Documentary)

The land of Israel has stood at the crossroads of empires, religions, and civilizations for over two thousand years.

From Roman rule and the destruction of the Second Temple, to the birth of Christianity and the rise of Islam, this sacred land has witnessed endless cycles of conquest, exile, and return.

While mighty empires crumbled, the people of Israel carried their identity through centuries of dispersion — from medieval Europe to the Ottoman-controlled Middle East.

Then came the modern age.
World War I shattered the old empires, and the British seized control of Palestine.
World War II brought unspeakable horrors — including the Holocaust — fueling an urgent call for a Jewish homeland.

Out of the ashes of war, in 1948, the State of Israel was born — sparking immediate conflict and forever altering the Middle East.

Since then, Israel has faced regional wars, peace treaties, intifadas, and global scrutiny, yet it has grown into a military, economic, and technological power.

From ancient prophets to modern prime ministers, from Roman sieges to the battlefields of today — this is the full story of one of history’s most contested and enduring nations.

To understand this land — its pain, its power, and its purpose — we must start from the beginning.
