Vox Don’t Know Much ‘Bout Middle East History

Elder of Ziyon Schools Vox on the History of Israel

In the middle of January, I dissected Vox video purporting to distill the Arab-Israeli conflict into 10 minutes. But those ten minutes were littered with countless errors and omissions. I wasn’ tthe only one weighing in, of course.

 

Elder of Ziyon, one of the longest running pro-Israel bloggers has taken the criticism to a new level, in a video critique of the Vox video. This is no easy task – and I admire his patience and cool – as his critique of the first three minutes clocked in at 17 minutes. As Elder put it:

 

I’m not certain I will create parts 2 and 3, because I don’t know who will want to spend maybe 45 minutes listening to a critique of a ten minute video. Literally every ten seconds I nI ceeded to stop to respond to another distortion or lie.

I certainly had that feeling reviewing the video: http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/02/vox-dont-know-much-bout-middle-east-history/
