Ryan McBeth has done a fairly succinct video on it.
It’s very high level and skips a lot of nuance, but you get the idea.
Comment on why doesn't Egypt open its borders to Gaza?

Is there a good eli5 on this. There is a lot here to understand and unpack and i need to be better educated. I think in the end it’s a holy war but don’t want to make improper assumptions.

Just fyi, if you’re interested in anonymity always strip the ?=si parameter from any YouTube url you share. “si” stands for source identifier, it is there for invasive tracking purposes, and now your your YouTube ID is linked with your fluke@lemmy.world account.
It’s easy to strip, and you can strip it even when the rest of the url is shortened by simply removing everything before the question mark:
If there are other parameters like a time mark, just strip the part that involves the si=, leaving the t= info, and the remaining url will still work fine. Just so you know.
I did not click on it as you had it; I copied and stripped it before pasting because fuck Google, but go ahead and edit your post now if you care about not having your social media accounts linked to each other.

Listening to a book now. Zionism started before WW1 when the territory was owned by the Ottomans. There have been individuals trying to get buy in to colonize the region forever

Antisemitism was already extreme at this time. It culminated in ww2, but it was already very pronounced a century earlier. Racism theories saw people like subhuman, but they also saw Jews like a different, grotesque kind of human.

I don’t disagree, was this the reason for a Jewish homeland?

This is so wrong it’s absurd, it gives you absolutely no information on the history of this conflict. The current conflict dares back to the early 20th century, well before world war 2.
