Nobody expects the Spanish Emancipation

Ridiculously underrated channel for the quality on display here.

"...someone for whom the term 'white supremacy' was too inclusive."
That was brutal!

“while your ancestors were brutal saveges in an unknown island, mone were priests in the temple of solomon”. what a gigachad roast

This page provides so much insight into my European Jewish roots…

The UK having a mismatch of the image of progress yet a disdain for reform is still ongoing. As is the Lords being rather shit...

i will never not get jumpscared by 4:57

We need more Jewish chads. Maybe an episode simply dedicated to them. Disraeli's response can be considered a chad moment too.

2:13 I loved the addition of smog to the London map, 10/10 historical accuracy!

Sam, I love how you always upload in time for me to have a devar Torah for shabbat, Chag Sameach, and thank you 😊

It took me two days to notice this: the background of the thumbnail is the “Jewish tartan”, which a rabbi created and registered with Scotland’s central authority for such things. (There is also a “Muslim tartan”, which is green.)

"I was elected by the people of my constituency, I was placed within this chamber by the votes of my peers and the citizens of our nation. I am a member of goddamn parliament and I will be taking my goddamn seat!"

Seriously. Democracy speaks for itself. The man was elected. There should be no other, NO OTHER consideration than that. How anyone justified this to themselves is insane to me.

Even as an Englishman, I rarely get to learn about the history of Victorian-era politics. I think a lot of people think it's "boring", since there's very little war (and where there is, it's... problematic...) but the internal struggles were very real!

“Once again, the measure passed the House of Commons but failed in the House of Lords.”
Me, an American in 2022: “Why do I have the sudden feeling of deja vu?”

I'm from Canterbury which has a Synagogue built in the late 1840s and is one of the few remaining intact Synagogues built in the Egyptian Revival style. The Synagogue hasn't hosted regular services since just before the First World War due to a dwindling Jewish population and was bought by The King's School which is a public school in 1982. The Synagogue building is still used both by The King's School as a music hall and also for occasional services around the Jewish holidays.

Also looking forward to the next episode and the Age of Nationalism.

I love how every party gets an Israeli election style Hebrew initial!

Wonderful to see some Hiberno-Jewish history featured. Sabóid mhaith (gut shabbos) from Ireland 😊

חג שבועות שמח!

Your videos are incredible Sam! I convinced the professor I work for to use parts of them in her university lectures.

Your upload timing is absolutely perfect. The same weekend as Shavuot but also here in the UK it’s the queen’s platinum jubilee. This was a fantastic upload regardless of date uploaded
