Naftali Bennett Explains History of Zionism in 3 Minutes to University of Michigan Students

Last week Naftali Bennett, former Prime Minister of Israel, spoke to a group of students at the University of Michigan. In three minutes, he explained the history of Jews and Zionism clearly and concisely.

Bennett explained that Jews founded their first commonwealth in Israel 3,000 years ago and have continuously lived there since then. He discussed the origin of the name Palestine and how the Jews are the indigenous residents of the land.

The video is posted on YouTube and most of the comments, including readers from Syria, Lebanon, and Uganda are positive, thanking him for his history lesson. 

It's a timely lesson, one which should be shared widely as we absorb the images and reflect on the happenings in Israel since October 7 and as we prepare for the seder tomorrow night.
