Gaza violence: Animated videos that cut the long story short

Here's a list of interesting animated videos that try to explain the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Some of them try to be neutral, some are completely biased towards one side. Just like History text books. Some videos are commissioned by governments, some by NGOs, some by historians, some by ordinary people who love history...
But the good thing is that each of them illustrates history in a graphic form to make it more digestible.
PS: It's a good practice to read comments... they often tear apart the video, highlight its goods and bads.

This video talks about two refugee camps and their relation to each other. Created by human rights group Jewish Voice for Peace, the primer explains "why Israelis and Palestinians are fighting, why the US-backed peace process has been an impediment to peace, and what you can do to make a difference."

The next video is a simple animation that only shows the war field and makes connections between three countries... the two opponents and the supplier.

 



This video, although not animated, explains the historical perspective and does a quick brief on the idea of zionism.

The next video is best summarised by a viewer who wrote a comment on Vimeo.  "This was about the ridiculousness of many peoples having the same spiritual claim to a piece of land and how they have claimed it in such an un-spiritual way," writes Mat Brady.

Jewish immigration, jihad, partition plans and rivers of blood.

One last animation...

The Israel government has also created a video. We know whose side it takes clearly. Nevertheless it highlights the tunnels built by the Hamas and how they use children as human shields.
