In Israel everybody (except local arabs) more or less are Jewish. So, "I'm syrian/polish" in Israel means "I'm jewish who's grandparents repatriated from Syria/Poland." Its obvious for them (and for me) , but some viewers may be confused.
PEOPLE IGNORE THIS PROPHECY: The children of Israel were scattered among the gentile nations and treated as third class citizens and learned their culture and language .However, genetically speaking , the culture, Hebrew language are still descendants of Jacob. Some who were not devout Jews were intermarried with the gentiles others didn't but kept Torah. The Apostle Paul was born in Tarsus, modern Turkey and also had a Roman citizenship, because Turkey at the time belonged as Roman colony or commonwealth of the Roman Empire. However, Paul said that he was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, Explain that. That's how everyone who came from another country to Israel. Romans 9:3,7 and Romans 11:1
Why not start with accept Jews from Iraqi descents? There are Jews who aren't Israeli and every country should be responsible for those who are of that nationality. If non-Israeli Jews want to go to Israel, that should be their desire and not something that is forced because of persecution.
@@canopeaz am I reading you correctly or have I misunderstood? Poland ain't an Arab country, they hate arabs there. Plus the persecution was primarily a German Nazi thing? The most medals for helping the Jews during this war have gone to polish citizens....read it up Righteous amongst Nations...facts. Or where you meaning something else?
I think this question was completely lost in translation. In English the question was relating to the ethnic background. The Hebrew question that the Israelis in the video received was what is your "Eda", which means Community. In Hebrew this term specifically relates to the 'diaspora community' where Jewish people lived before coming to Israel. If they were asked what their actual ethnicity was, I think they would have said Jewish, rather than "Ashkenazi", "Yemeni" or "Moroccan".
No it's not lost in translation. Everyone that has basic knowledge of Jewish history understands that he's asking the locality of their ancestors, not their 'ethnicity'.
Jewish isn't as n ethnicity though. Clearly one of the women (of the first 3 interviewed is white European). The others, I don't know, maybe white/arabic.
Asking people that were born and spent their whole lives in Israel if they would go back is kind of a dumb question. Should have asked them if they felt different than other ethnicities say.

It has a predictable answer of preferring Israel because, well, you would prefer the country you have lived your life in over the country of your parents or their parents
I’m American, My mother is from Morocco, my father converted to Judaism, We have been to Israel, I do feel a connection with Israel, so does my whole family. I have a lot of family there. I feel as if I will return & retire there. But my mother does still miss Morocco, her town (Marrakech) and their life back there. Not all jews fled, not all Jews in Morocco were poor. I think that is a misnomer. Her family still speaks Moroccan Arabic & of course French. My mother is happy we settled in America because her siblings that moved from Morocco to Israel said they were treated very harshly by the Ashkenazi Israelis. I think this is true of a lot of the founders of Zionism in Israel, which is shameful but still a truth that needs to be shown & talked about. I do not know if it’s still like that now? I do notice it sometimes here in the States, I was told by an Ashkenazi Jewish woman that I didn’t look like an “ Arab jew” whatever that is ?! Anyways I am proud to be ALL these things, it’s part of life’s gifts.
I don't know why , but I feel like the current generation is disconnected with their roots ; it s like they try to assimilate to the Ashkenazi's(I heard that in schools their are taught just the Ashkenazi version of history ) It is like some kind of supremacy (the same that happened to Berbers and Kurds who want to be considered as Arabs ). And if I can echo the racism that they suffered from, u can just check the events of Wadi Salib riots , in which they ask to go back to Morocco bcz of the discrimination that they suffered.
Used to be. Not anymore. Every new group of immigrants experience some level of discrimination. Today if you notice from this video there’s no such thing as Ashkenazi, Sarfadi or Mizrahi. People intermarry. It’s a melting pot. I hope one day you make Aliyah.
That was a very interesting one. A similar question could be asked of people in Australia and Canada etc of where their ancestors were from and whether they feel culturally British, or Irish. It would be so different - even though their grandparents and great grandparents were immigrants too.
Australia and Canada are realms of the UK even now. Britain’s basically the mother country for us but we have our own identities however I think the attachment is greater with Australia due to sport.
7:12 Her family has lived in a whole different perspective in Morocco. I don't know if she is lying about it because she, her own, doesn't feel connected to Morocco. Morocco was and still is the only Islamic predominant country that is welcoming to Jews. Personally, my family lived their greatest times in Morocco. Of course, because of the economic crisis, many people were forced to leave the country for the seek for a better life. Nonetheless, many Jews would rather to live in Israel.
Ofc she's lying there was no anti-semetism in Morocco ,jews were and will be always apart of Morocco ,there was jewish Ministers and scientists.. since Almoravids Dynasty
@@mauri3274 Yes, but you know antisemitism was always present. It depended on the king that was ruling the kingdom. Morocco has been the most welcoming to Jewish people compared to all the Islamic countries. Still, we cannot forget about the fact that antisemitism has been always present within part of the population. There is no place without hate, even in Israel, you can find antisemites. Anyway, I am proud of being a Moroccan Jew🇲🇦❤️. There are many Moroccan Jewish singers such as Neta Elkayam that love their Moroccan heritage
@@רומי-ג8קI agree but anti-semitism as u call it, wasn't in that definition in the past, its based on a personal perspective and subjectivity ,jews in Morocco were known merchants, in a trouble or a bad experience with one of them can change the point of view on all of them(jews) for a non-jewish, you know the majority of ppl were illiterate in that time, just like whats happening to Sowassa (ppl from Souss) now, for me anti-semetism is hating all jews with no reason ,me myself my grandma is from a berber jewish tribe called aït Sliman(shlomo) near to Fes, when I was kid I've never heard bad stuff about jews always my mother was imposing me to eat garlic by telling me it's good, to be smart like jews lol. ..Not to mention ,some ppl now could confound between zionism and judaism
@@mauri3274 I completely agree with you. You are such a wise person. Btw, my great grandmother is actually Amazigh Jewish as well from Tinghir! Also part of my family comes from Fez haha. Keep it up! I wish the best for you and your family, honestly
@@רומי-ג8ק yeah maybe we're cousins haha thank you my dear ,I wish all the best to all jews and especially to moroccan jews and more specifically to u and ur family ,from the bottom of my heart ✡️🇲🇦♥️🇮🇱
I don't understand how did jews became "European"? when they lived in Europe they were always looked upon as the non natives of Europe, who in most cases physically look very differently from the European Christians and are much darkers , and were told to go back to Palestine and it was clear to everyone that they are not native Europeans and belong in the middle east originally just like gypsy communities who live in Europe were always known to not be natives and belong in india. But then when they actually DID what people told them to do for centuries (go back to the middle east) and refounded their homeland people started calling them Europeans
Quite a few Jews are white not darker. But they still don't look European and can tell the difference between them and Europeans. (I'm European so I would know).
You are way off the mark....or you seriously need prescription glasses. Jews come in all shapes and colours which is why European Jews look European......Jews from Eastern Europe look no different from other Slavic tribes, Jews from Southern Europe look Mediterranean, like Jews from Iraq looked like Arabs, Yemeni Jews look like Muslim Yemenis just like Berber Jews look like other Berber tribes, Lemba Jews look African, etc etc. .....and ALL look different from each other. Tell me Avigdor Lieberman doesn't look Russian or that Bibi could be Putin's long lost brother.
to modern inhabitants of the levant, jews look more european than levantine, so they get called european. and it makes sense given that ashkenazi jews (and non-mizrahi sephardic jews) acquired around 40-60% southern european admixture in the roman era. on top of that, endogamy and time produced its own unique looks in jews that would differentiate them from both europeans and levantine natives. and on top of that, levantine people changed in the last 2000 years as other peoples mixed with them. then you have western leftists who can only understand politics in a white vs nonwhite, oppressor vs oppressed frame and project that onto israel-palestine.
I was born in Israel a couple years after my parents repatriated from Russia and curiously always felt more Russian than Israeli. We spoke Russian at home (and still do). I grew up watching Soviet-era cartoons that my parents brought with them on VHS tapes and eating Russian food (sans pork). The only Jewish things we ever did at home were lighting candles and eating donuts on Hannukah, and eating the apples with honey on the Hebrew new year day. We've always celebrated the Jewish holidays by simply having a family gathering with a Russian-style feast. Our most important holiday is New Year's Eve (Soviet Christmas). I barely knew how Kosher rules actually work until I got into the army and had to do kitchen duty there. I never liked identifying as a Jew or even as an Israeli. But then I visited Russia a few times and felt completely out of place, so I can't identify as Russian anymore, but I'm still a bit uncomfortable identifying as Jewish. I guess you could say I am without culture :P
It's normal that they don't feel "Morrocan" or "Yemenite" or "Iraqi" or whatever. They were born in Israel, some of them have been here for several generations, and also they're a melting pot. Most of them are not pure Polish or Turkish etc. They're mixed. It's exactly the same thing here in Canada, where people come from all over the world and after a generation or two, there is no connection anymore to the ancestors lands. They are all CANADIAN, right Corey? You should know. However, if they were older when they immigrated to Israel, well yeah...you can take let's say the Persian out of Iran, but you'll never get Iran out of him. He'll remain Iranian till death. I always think of you as Canadian, rather than Israeli, because that's just what you are. And you probably think of yourself as Canadian too, right?
I desagry with your comparison on mix races in Canada and Israel. Israel has a more diverse pool of Mix. For instance the girls who's half Ashkenazi half Turkish. You can't find the same diverse mixes in Cananda such as can be found in Israel. In Canada each race mixes with their own race in general.
Immigrants who come on aliya identify with the country and language of their birth or family origins. Second generation Israelis speak Hebrew and learn the slang. Some grandparents and parents still speak their mother tongue, and cook the same meals from the "old country ". The blending of the old/new traditions add colors to the fabric of amazingly JEWISH history .
Love is better than hate. Happiness, love, peace and prosperity to all. There's a place to everyone to live. Live and let live. I hope some day peace and love will overcome ignorance and that all of us can enjoy life and the sunshine together...! Blessings to all!

Essil M ... Zionism is not a religion. Even the first Zionist did not believe in Judaism. The people in the video carry the sins of their parents. They or their descendants will wake up one day and find themselves packing looking for a place in the world where they can hide the sins of their forefathers: The genocide of Palestinians. History will repeat itself. Remember fate of the “pied noirs” who lived in Algeria and the Algerian Jews who put their trust between their hands. All gone in 1962.
That is exactly what the antisemites say. Tell me the distinct SECULAR characteristics that separated a Jew from Baghdad from a Muslim from Baghdad...or a German Jew from a German Christain, eh? The only time your Jews were distinct from the peoples they lived with were in the "Land Of The Yids" in Eastern Europe, nowhere else. ....poor you.
@Starhopper That is exactly what the Nazi types like you also say about your Jews......remember "Jews Will Not Replace Us". You would fit well into the KKK, you Victor Vancier wannabe.
To all the Moroccans in the reactions that say "we treated the Jews well" as a Moroccan Jew I will explain how you are both right and wrong at the same time: Let's take my family as an example. My grandmother owns a large family tree in Morocco, so great that my great uncle (according to the grandmother) was the adviser to the king at some point. She still lovingly describes Morocco and says that the Jews were treated very well there and protected them. And here, you are right, the king, and the people in her city treated the Jews very well. But my grandfather did not live in my grandmother's town, he came from a small village (and a poor day) where the Jews were treated cruelly, I will demonstrate the relationship with a chilling story: One of the Jewish women in my extended family was very beautiful. One day a Moroccan Muslim came to her and asked her for marriage. She did not agree to marry him, because she wanted to marry a Jew who was a member of her community. The Moroccan threw acid on her face. She died a few days later. This was the life of the Jews in the villages. There was no enforcement of the king over the remote places, and "bakeries" and "hamulas" controlled large parts of Morocco. The people in the villages were Jews who emigrated to Morocco from Spain (because of the Inquisition) and perhaps because of this the Moroccans treated them as "foreigners" and abused them in the villages. In other words, you are right, as a country you were really nice to Jews, so nice that my grandmother visits Morocco almost every year because she loves her childhood, but your rule was weak, so the Jews were severely affected in villages far from the capital. So every Moroccan Jew you ask will give you a different version, as if the Moroccan Jews lived in the same country of Morocco - but in totally different states. By the way, the same is true of Poland. There are Polish Jews who still love Poland and say that it was conquered and the Poles loved them - and there are the Jews in the villages who simply suffered constantly. They came from Poland, one country - and two different states.
The Jewish people belong to the land of Israel and the land of Israel belongs to them. That is why lives of Jews in other countries has always been precarious.
@Fady Al Qaisy wait, did you just said *"JUDEH belongs to ARABS"?* 😅😂 what's next? does India belongs to Arabs too? maybe Frace? does *France* belongs to *Arabs* and not to *French* people just as *Judeh* belongs to *arabs* and not to *Jews!?* does Cyprus? or China? does they belong to Arabs too? 😂😂😂😂 man, you people think the world belongs to arabs 😂😂😂😂
@Fady Al Qaisy and Marrcian are berbers, not arabs, my granny knows, she always visit them, that's what they say. though they do have many arabiased people. that doesn't makes them arabs, they have their own beautiful cultures and traditions.
i think it would be interesting to do a part 2 for this video and try to include russians in it. as a russian myself i can tell you that russians/ex ussr immigrants have a slightly different experience comparing to other ethnicites in israel.

Viki, you're talking about the post-USSR aliyah, these people are still 1st generation, ofcourse they won't feel connected, but talk to their children or grandchildren who were born here and studied the language since birth and you'll hear something completely different. Most of the first immigrants (circa 1882) came from Ukraine and west Russia, and their descendants (which are like 4 or 5 generations already) will tell you they don't have any feeling of belonging to Russia or Ukraine.
At 5:38, the woman says "ir va'em be'Yisrael" (a city and a mother in Israel, not "a city in the heart of Israel"). It is a traditional way to say that it was a great Jewish community, where Israel is a shorthand way of saying people of Israel, aka Jews. Just explaining for people who don't know.
For me as an American Jew, I feel a stronger connection to both the US and to Israel. My family came from Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Soviet Georgia. If I were to go to any of those places, I know I would never be able to look at the locals and feel some kind of connection, because we are different. But in Israel, I feel a much stronger connection. I feel safer there compared to the US.
Only inside the Green Line. Otherwise you would be safer in the US. Unless you venture into a Democrat run inner city, in which case take your chances in Hebron!
If you're american why do u feel stronger connection with israel than us? I mean i get people here who are second or third generation israelis but you're born in us i assume still live in us. Why do u think that Jews from Israel who are mish mash of different backgrounds are closer to you than americans?
@@drjayteamk4531 not who you're asking, but the answer is pretty multifaceted 1) Two random Jews will be more similar to each other than two random Americans 2) The history of persecution of Jews have made us skeptical to our safety in nations other than Israel 3) Interpersonal antisemitism in Israel is played for laughs That's essentially what it boils down to
It's really a good video, but you shouldn't translate "Edah" into ethnicity or ethnic background, this is not what it means and it doesn't work in English like it does with Hebrew since It's a biblical Hebrew word that was intentionally brought to life for modern Hebrew. It used to describe the communal affiliation of each tribe of the twelve tribes and the division between them and now in modern Hebrew it simply means a community or communal heritage. Each Jewish diaspora created their own community in the city/country they were born in, this influenced their religion and created new traditions, nusach and specific customs within Judaism which are still preserved today (but aside from the religious, today's generation is not very aware of all those, they are aware more of the food & culture of their parents instead). The meaning of the word can vary depends on how you use it because according to the Jewish religion, the belongness to an Edah usually passes from the paternal side, that includes its surname, congregation, customs, language & pronunciation and for converts, they usually go by their near by community), however most people will go by the neutral definition that includes both sides. Anyways, now in daily usage in Hebrew it's just a word that describes a people in tribal sense that live in Israel - it could be applied for family origins such as edah marokait for moroccans and edah romanit for romaniams but also for religious groups with a communal background like edah haredit for ultra-orthodox and edah notzrit for the christian communities.
You're very correct but you should understand that the context of this video is that people ask themselves "why can't the jews go be to where they are from", and that's why Edah is used for ethnicity. Although thinking about it, now your remarks are twice as important.

Do not forget that the Moroccans received you twice in their country, that you had lived 2000 years in Morocco, and the moroccans said no to the Nazis when they wanted to take you away, and many Moroccans fought in the French army against the Nazis, instead of talking wrong in the videos of the Moroccans at least say thank you and if you are so good you have stayed in your country to help in their development, compare how they treated you the other countries. I have spent my whole life in Europe but I will not allow the Moroccans to be insulted in front of me, and I can tell you that I have defended even the Moroccan Jews.

In America, there are not "ethnic Americans", except maybe the Native Americans. So even though I am "American", my ethnicity is two different countries in Europe.
It's kind of like in America when an American says "I'm Italian"... it doesn't mean that he is an Italian citizen or has any loyalty to Italy or speaks Italian or has any association with Italy. It is just that one of his long-ago ancestors is from Italy and he shares a few cultural aspects. But no one in America (including American Indians) tries to tell him to "Go back to Italy".
but in israel theres people who werent born and came later on, or they are first generation. so a lot of peope actually do speak another launguage, and to have their own culture at home beside bein an israeli. israel is a new country, everyone still have their own roots
That's also the case with America. They speak English plus another Language. But probably a little more so in Israel because Israel is newer. It's not like the Arab countries who didn't let anyone go to their countries and become citizens, even their fellow Arabs (Palestinians).

Most people don't know the *basic terminology* and this is why they can't answer correctly about their Ethnicity. Ethnicity *has* to do with genetics, but not exclusively. In the greek language, these terms are absolutely clear and i will try to clarify these terms in English: 1. *Indigenous(ship) or Native(ship)* means that a group of people are *directly related to their ancestors (genes).* They call themselves by a common name. For example "Greeks" (from Athens, from Sparta, from Macedonia etc). 2. *Citizen(ship):* A Native (natural) Chinese moves to USA and gets the US citizenship. This means he now has a *legal relationship with USA,* but he will remain "Chinese" in his "genes". Even after generations, his family will look "Chinese", if they will keep marrying with Chinese people. They will remain *Indingenous/Native Chinese.* 3. *Ethnicity:* All Indigenous/Native Chinese immigrants around the world, belong to the Chinese Ethnicity, i.e. they may have another citizenship, but their nature is "Chinese" if they also feel "Chinese". They just live abroad (out of China). 4. *Clarification: What is your Ethnicity?* Read the following examples: a) A Chinese, who lives in China, is Indigenous/Native and has the Chinese Citizenship. He also belongs to the Chinese Nation, i.e. his Ethnicity is "Chinese". b) Some Chinese immigrants live in USA for 2-3 generations. Some of them are mixed with Russians, with Germans etc. *In this case, since they have mixed genes, their Ethnicity depends on how they feel.* Some of them might still feel as Chinese, others as Germans and others as Russian. My Greek Ancestors, for example, Herodotus, *defined Ethnicity* as: "Same blood (common biological roots), same language, same religion, same tradition/behavior/habits". The more of these properties we have, the more we belong to a specific Ethnicity but common biological roots is the most important. "Same religion and same habits" is explaining to us why some *mixed* people will say (correctly): "I don't feel Iranian, i feel Israeli". *Last but not least,* these terms don't have the same meaning in all countries, *for.. unknown "reasons"...* For example, when we take a look at some official documents within EU, the term "Ethnicity" is translated as "Ethnicity" in many languages. *But* in some cases, for example in Greek Language, it's intentionally mistranslated as "Citizen-ship" or as "Native-ship" or "as indigenous-ship". That's pretty weird...
@bobrzycapola No, they don't and things seem to be different with the term "Jew". For unknown reasons, they (not sure who exactly) defined "Ethnicity" in a special way. A quick answer for "Ethnicity" however is that it also includes the habits (culture) and the will or emotional hook of someone to belong there. A Chinese may or may not be hooked, but that doesn't change the fact that his nature is "Chinese".
the question is absurd TBH. Imagine asking an Irish American or a (Volga) German American if they feel Irish or German (or Russian?) more than they feel American, or if they'd be willing to relocate. Its just absurd at so many levels.
I'm Polish American but I honestly feel more Polish than American. I think their responses have to do more with their Jewish ancestors never really being Iraqi or Polish to begin with.
User which generation American are you? Are you sure your children will feel more Polish than American as well? What about their children? The people being interviewed at least 3rd generation. While your experience as an American of Polish descent might be different, Irish or German Americans who have been here for much longer I am sure feel very differently.
@@sumitbafna27 I'm the 2nd generation I believe, meaning first one to grow up in the US. I can't tell you how my children will feel. That all depends on whether I follow through on moving to Poland. Besides in all my 25 years I don't think I ever really found out what being "American" means to me, other than creditors, collection agencies, fraud, etc. And I never identify with anyone else on a broad scheme of being American beyond other people just being human beings, so my Polish side feels like a more natural concept.
I have an persian backround but i was borned i germany and i feel german and not really iranian. I think its a normal thing because they are more used to israeli culture than their other backrounds.

There are no different 'ethnicities' of Jews (Jewish is an ethnicity/nation itself). There are just different *experiences of exile*. Anyone who says 'go back to Poland etc doesn't understand that those were our places of exile, where we were and were treated like outsiders, usually of second or third class.

First Yemenite girl in red - brunette with dark curly hair, has virtually the same facial features/proportions as a former girlfriend of mine - who has straight blond hair, green eyes and is of Ashkenazi (Russian and Latvian) origin - thus an example that modern Jews are indeed of Middle Eastern origin - it's just that they absorbed/intermarried with, to various extents with gentile converts from their host populations - that's why as a whole Ashkenazim 'look' more European - their admixture elements are of South/Central and Eastern Euro blood...Sephardim have Iberian admixture, Mizrahim have admixture from other Middle Eastern/West Asian peoples, and so forth. Genetic studies have confirmed that over and over.
@@mattiamele3015 And? What do you mean 'and'? Didn't you watch the video and read my comment? Do I have to explain it? Corey is probing the Cultural Unity/similarity of the Israeli Jews, in relation to the various Diaspora cultures, from where their immediate ancestors came from, and all are unequivocally stating they would visit, but never go back and live there, because they wouldn't feel like they truly belong, even if they might 'pass' in terms of 'looks'. Hence they belong in Israel, the land of their ancestors. My comment is merely restating basic unity of the Jewish People his, their Levantine origin and how they do indeed belong in Israel, but I'm doing it from a genetic/DNA point of view. Capisce?
I took a DNA test and my Sephardic part was Middle Eastern mixed with Italian, Greek and Iberian. I was surprised to see that Iberian was actually the smallest portion.
@@todaysview6120 But overall, Ashkenazim also have 'South Euro' admixture too, in many ways as much as Central and East Euro, which makes sense, because at the onset of the Diaspora, the first main point of entry of ancient Levantine Jews into Europe was Rome - The Roman empire ruled Europe. So likely after establishing themselves there for awhile (and likely absorbing some converts in Rome (modern day Italy) they stared moving to other parts of the empire, namely the Iberian Peninsula and The Rhinelands. Also noteworthy is the fact that many Italians, especially those from the South often test positive for a significant amount of Greek admixture - a genetic signature from the days of Magna Graecia.

No they're native to that land as much as Jews are that is the truth. They weren't invading or visiting they are native sons and daughters. Much the same as the Hungarians are not invaders either, just a dna test will show you that they're related to the croats austrians slovaks romanians and serbs that surround them.
You keep confusing ethnicity with nationality or diasporic community. These are not ethnicities, these are DIASPORA communities of Hebrews that are originally from the land of Israel.
Humans Suck DNA science says the present Jews are from various races and roots like Arabs, Bnei Yesrael, Persians,Easter Europeans,Berbers, Africans......etc only real Jews carry Haplogroup J1 like their cousins the Arabs
PEOPLE IGNORE THIS PROPHECY: The children of Israel were scattered among the gentile nations and treated as third class citizens and learned their culture and language .However, genetically speaking , the culture, Hebrew language are still descendants of Jacob. Some who were not devout Jews were intermarried with the gentiles others didn't but kept Torah.

However, Paul said that he was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, Explain that. That's how everyone who came from another country to Israel. Romans 9:3,7 and Romans 11:1
Nationality is how you grow up and where you feel you belong. It doesn't have anything to do with genetics. The sooner we realize this, the better. Then all people will be fully capable to understand what the nation-state is and treat it as the anachronistic institution it is.
makouras It has all to do with genetics and ethnicity. Most countries in the world were created on this basis. They are nation states- England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Croatia, Bosnia, Somalia etc. It's only in the New World and Australia that this order doesn't exist. North America, Australia and New Zealand are melting pots of all ethnicities from mainly Europe, Asia and Africa. Jews as a religious group live among all these groups.

No, they say that about Palestinians that were born in other countries. They don’t expect Palestinians in West Bank, for example, to go to other Arab countries. Just like the Jews who were expelled from Arab countries, those Arab countries sent the Jews of the 20th century to go live in Israel.

You should have asked russian jews. As far as i know they preserve the russian language for generations. Though many soviet/post soviet immigrants do so, russian germans in germany, russian greeks in greece.
Zaxvat Pokoev Correct, my great grandparents fled to Sweden after the holocaust and both of my parents, great grandparents and me speak fluent russian. I have relatives living in Israel and they have done the same, I believe it’s because the language is a big part of russian jewry and just generally preserving your identity and it’s also a useful language in today’s society which is why it’s preserved.

I think the biggest cause of the difference is that when the Yiddish, Ladino and Arabic-speaking Jews were coming in there was huge societal pressure to assimilate to Israeli culture so speaking their old languages was very frowned upon, and a lot of them changed their names to Hebrew names as well. The Russians (and Ethiopians), coming decades later, were never put under this pressure. You can often even see signs in places like hospitals translated into Russian and Amharic. My grandparents have lived here 23 years and still can barely say a sentence in Hebrew.
@Aline R Thanks for your explaination. Yes, in Israel the word eda or ethniticy has a different connotation then when you ask an American or Australian whats your ethnicity? Since all Jews, what ever the colour or place of birth trace themselves back to Jacob and the 12 Tribes who lived in Canaan. Converts beeing a side issue. One can differentiate further using different Hebrew terms. Besides for Eda (ethnicity) there is Shevat (tribe), Kehillah (community), Nussah (style and tradition of prayer), Tarbut (culture), Daat (religion) and Beit Knesset (synagogue) and Ezrahut (Nationality). Take my family for example: My half-brother and I grew up in Germany. We share the same Jewish mother. He was born in America to a sfardi Levi. He is from the tribe of Levi, eda turkish, (great-grandfather was born in Turkey), therfore sfardi, and has German as his native language (mother always spoke German) and American citizenship. Whereas I am Ashkezani (born in BeNeLux, at the moment I live in Germany). When I made Aliyah years back, and you'd ask me this question I would say eda Ashkenazi, because my mother was born in Poland and I made Aliyah from Germany and German is my native language. My father is a non- Jew from France living in Spain, but I am not sfardi even though Sfard means Spain. Also I am not Levi, only my brother is a Levi. In America I was chassic and belonged to a chassidic community. In Germany now I am not chassidic, more secular, but I can go pray in the Nussach of the Chassidim. In Israel I changed my way of speech from chassidish ashkenazi to standard Israeli Hebrew. When I visitied my family in Spain I saw clearly that I am neither Belgian, French nor Spanish. When I move back to Israel from Germany, I will also say I am edat Ashkenazi Polani, but my passport could be German, my native tongue German and yes I have also German culture in me, after all my family has been living in Germany for 60 years. But with all my German papers, language is cetera , when I was living in Israel I always felt 100% Jewish and 100% Israeli. Now back in Germany, the longer I live in Germany, the less I feel German. Although I have all German passport, My German is accent-free, my friends are German and I did my professional training here. What is great about Israel is, my flatmate was edat Ethiopia, my other flatmate cooked Tripoli, 'my shidduch then took me to the synagogue of edat yemenite, but his parents were from Iraq too. So all this makes Israel special. I also loved the Israeli-Moroccan kitchen and enjoy the Mizrachi music, from Iran to Morocco. When my polnish ashkenazi mother married with a sfardi in the US they did a gene check, cuz you never know, who is related to whom. (the turkish side came from Spain via Italy and my white French family moved to Spain via Belguim). But they met in Germany. Don't worry if you are confused now. Most are.
Beautiful people from Israel! Once they were kicked out from their land, now they are returning, of course mixed, but the jewish heritage and faith still alive!
@Starhopper you are the biggest supporter of Israel you always talking that hard pro Israel stuff and you don't even live in Israel lol Holly shit what a hypocrite lol You lose all your arguments after that Shit Israel is not good enough for you Israel is that bad that even right wing nationalist dont even live in Israel
@Fady Al Qaisy Why do you think that all the land belongs to the Palestinians? If the Palestinians weren't so greedy, and if the would like to share the land with us, they could have a country from 1948.
If all the Jews would not pray 3 times a day and say in prayer: God will restore us to Zion. Or when they are blessed with food: and you will bring us to Israel. Or when married people say "next year in Jerusalem, and the bridegroom also says" If I forget holy Jerusalem, I will forget where my right hand, that my tongue will stick to my palate, if I do not remember you Jerusalem. Every day, several times a day Jews would mention the Holy Land and Holy Jerusalem. It is only through this that they returned to their country from anywhere in the world after 2000 years.
The French called “pieds noirs” too they felt Français d’Algerie. They all were born in Algeria but in 1962 they had to leave Algeria. Their great grand parents came and colonized Algeria, like yours colonizing Palestine. After 132 years, on the fifth of July 1962 they all left in a hurry after a bloody war. Now they are scattered all over France. Algérie Française was an utopia for 132 years. Palestine and Western Sahara are the last countries to be decolonized. Hopefully it will not be as bloody as the war 1954-1962. Shalom.
what a great subject it was for question : i've always been surprised by how everybody in those videos always introduce themselves by their "background" and where they come from (before they even mention their name). I don't know if Corey makes this look common or if it is just normal to walk up to a person in Israel and ask where they come from or like Corey voices it "Hello..., So... what is your background?"
The question has a different connotation in a Jewish/Hebrew context. He doesn't ask what's your cultural background, but rather to which "eida" do you belong? This is a word that is hard to translate, as it refers to a specifically Jewish phenomenon, related to religious and traditional customs and/or prayer styles at present, not just in the past.
In essence these people are Jews (Levantines), that is their people, ethnicity and race. That's the part that they adhere to and regardless of which land they are in being a jew is the only factor. The people in all of those nations don't see them as Poles, Danish, Algerian or Greek. They are Jews and just residing in those lands and are not of those people.
The Children of Israel dispersed unto many nations. Israel is mixed with many nations but through the father ultimately go back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Beautiful sons and daughters of Zion.
@Fady Al Qaisy really? Arab who spoke Hebrew ! Lol so when the children of Israel have ceased to speak Hebrew and translating the entire Tanak in Arabic??!?
@yah' qub I have never pretended to be So ! M'y question was ,since when the children of Israel have definitively ceased to speak hebrew? There are those who claim that They are ARABS ! Is there any trace of Arabs presence in this land 3000 years back?
@yah' qub I thought the same ! The mother of Yishmael is Hagar an Egyptian of descent ! According to their tradition ,Arabs are sons of Yishmael ! The Israelites are of Yitzhak ! Difference is that God himself has given the Land of Israel to the sons of Yitzhak which is an eternal Heritage ! I dont understand why calling them settlers in the Land of their forefathers?? Historical,Archeological evidences clearly point that the language that was spoken in that land 3000 years back is Paleo Hebrew ! God gave this land to Israel not to the Canaanites ! Why they dont just try to Co-exist! Aaah I know ,Arabs dont want peace with them.

1.Jews are mostly of sam ethnicity except the recently assimilated/mixed and groups that are descendend from converts, such as Ethiopian Jews. 2. He is asking about their "Eida (literally "testimony")"-that word has religiuos/cultural not ethnic meaning-Not an ethnicity Ex. Many people would say Russian Jews are an Eida, but there is no such thing, there is no russian Jewish praying custom, no "Russian" Halacha (Law). Just a group of Ashkenazi Jews that assimilated into the Russian culture, large proportion intermarrying with Slavic people 3. Cory is a Leftist and tries to present Israel to leftist western public as such. Israel is Not a multi ethnic society, but a home for the Jewish nation and was created to serve this purpose. 4.

That is the narrative that the Arabs try to sell, that Jews were "dumped" in Israel -- as if the Jews didn't want to go there but were "forced". It's like saying that people who immigrated to America were "dumped" there... No, they left where they were, and sought a better life. And the Jews who were already living in the area welcomed them, unlike how Arabs treat other Arabs who emigrate from other countries. That's the narrative they have to sell so they can say their land was "stolen", when really it was bought and paid for. And on top of that, look at the land that most of the Jews moved to -- it was barren desert. Look at pictures of Tel Aviv during its founding in 1909... It was just a bunch of sand dunes. There was no one living there to "force out".
If what makes you part of a nation is pretty much your upbringing and your belief that you belong to a nation, why are Israelis saying there is no Palestinian nation, since Palestinians are being brought up as Palestinians and believe they belong to the Palestinian nation?
Because as far as the Israelis are concerned, the idea of a Palestinian nation is a cynical political tool used by the Arabs to justify kicking the Jews out of their own homeland - because there has never in history been an actual sovereign country called Palestine. Arab nationalism is a relatively recent phenomenon (as opposed to Pan-Arabism), and modern Zionism is a few decades older than the idea of a Palestinian nation. That said, it is a bit hypocritical to deny them the right to self-identify, regardless of where the idea first came from.

And Jesus is coming so soon! The times we are living in are evident! If you haven’t already allowed Christ into your heart, take a second and think about eternity. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! No one will be justified by works of the law! Jesus died for all sins once for all and rose from the dead on the third day. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! “Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Matthew 21:42 “Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:4-7 "“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ ”" - Matthew 23:37-39 "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”" - Romans 11:25-27 Yeshua Hamashiach! Today is the day to repent and come to Christ! Admit you are a sinner “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 NKJV "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." - Romans 3:23-26 Believe Jesus is Lord “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10 NKJV Call upon His name “For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”” Romans 10:13 NKJV
It’s quite sad that with the exception of maybe the Anglo countries, and perhaps Poland, Jews never were accepted. When you ask “do you feel you’re a part of them” or “would you like to live there?” It’s a hard no, because the locals wouldn’t want them.
That so outsider's questions. We're all israelies, we're all been persecuted in those countries we definitely don't feel belong there and we never thought of ourselves that way.
And that is the irony. A Jew no matter of what ethnicity will be singled out as a Jew by the majority but once in Israel, he becomes his / her ethnicity. Human beings are strange ....

I think this question was completely lost in translation. In English the question was relating to the ethnic background. The Hebrew question that the Israelis in the video received was what is your "Eda", which means Community. In Hebrew this term specifically relates to the 'diaspora community' where Jewish people lived before coming to Israel. If they were asked what their actual ethnicity was, I think they would have said Jewish, rather than "Ashkenazi", "Yemeni" or "Moroccan".
No it's not lost in translation. Everyone that has basic knowledge of Jewish history understands that he's asking the locality of their ancestors, not their 'ethnicity'.
Corey explained that a long time ago already. It's in reference to the religious style of whatever land they were in.
Jewish isn't as n ethnicity though. Clearly one of the women (of the first 3 interviewed is white European). The others, I don't know, maybe white/arabic.
Asking people that were born and spent their whole lives in Israel if they would go back is kind of a dumb question. Should have asked them if they felt different than other ethnicities say.

I’m American, My mother is from Morocco, my father converted to Judaism, We have been to Israel, I do feel a connection with Israel, so does my whole family. I have a lot of family there. I feel as if I will return & retire there. But my mother does still miss Morocco, her town (Marrakech) and their life back there. Not all jews fled, not all Jews in Morocco were poor. I think that is a misnomer. Her family still speaks Moroccan Arabic & of course French. My mother is happy we settled in America because her siblings that moved from Morocco to Israel said they were treated very harshly by the Ashkenazi Israelis. I think this is true of a lot of the founders of Zionism in Israel, which is shameful but still a truth that needs to be shown & talked about. I do not know if it’s still like that now? I do notice it sometimes here in the States, I was told by an Ashkenazi Jewish woman that I didn’t look like an “ Arab jew” whatever that is ?! Anyways I am proud to be ALL these things, it’s part of life’s gifts.
I don't know why , but I feel like the current generation is disconnected with their roots ; it s like they try to assimilate to the Ashkenazi's(I heard that in schools their are taught just the Ashkenazi version of history ) It is like some kind of supremacy (the same that happened to Berbers and Kurds who want to be considered as Arabs ). And if I can echo the racism that they suffered from, u can just check the events of Wadi Salib riots , in which they ask to go back to Morocco bcz of the discrimination that they suffered.
is too late for that, you have already revealed who you are, so stay in america or go to israeli occupation state
Used to be. Not anymore. Every new group of immigrants experience some level of discrimination. Today if you notice from this video there’s no such thing as Ashkenazi, Sarfadi or Mizrahi. People intermarry. It’s a melting pot. I hope one day you make Aliyah.

That was a very interesting one.
A similar question could be asked of people in Australia and Canada etc of where their ancestors were from and whether they feel culturally British, or Irish. It would be so different - even though their grandparents and great grandparents were immigrants too.
Australia and Canada are realms of the UK even now. Britain’s basically the mother country for us but we have our own identities however I think the attachment is greater with Australia due to sport.
7:12 Her family has lived in a whole different perspective in Morocco. I don't know if she is lying about it because she, her own, doesn't feel connected to Morocco. Morocco was and still is the only Islamic predominant country that is welcoming to Jews. Personally, my family lived their greatest times in Morocco. Of course, because of the economic crisis, many people were forced to leave the country for the seek for a better life. Nonetheless, many Jews would rather to live in Israel.
Ofc she's lying there was no anti-semetism in Morocco ,jews were and will be always apart of Morocco ,there was jewish Ministers and scientists.. since Almoravids Dynasty
@@mauri3274 Yes, but you know antisemitism was always present. It depended on the king that was ruling the kingdom. Morocco has been the most welcoming to Jewish people compared to all the Islamic countries. Still, we cannot forget about the fact that antisemitism has been always present within part of the population. There is no place without hate, even in Israel, you can find antisemites. Anyway, I am proud of being a Moroccan Jew🇲🇦❤️. There are many Moroccan Jewish singers such as Neta Elkayam that love their Moroccan heritage
@@רומי-ג8קI agree but anti-semitism as u call it, wasn't in that definition in the past, its based on a personal perspective and subjectivity ,jews in Morocco were known merchants, in a trouble or a bad experience with one of them can change the point of view on all of them(jews) for a non-jewish, you know the majority of ppl were illiterate in that time, just like whats happening to Sowassa (ppl from Souss) now, for me anti-semetism is hating all jews with no reason ,me myself my grandma is from a berber jewish tribe called aït Sliman(shlomo) near to Fes, when I was kid I've never heard bad stuff about jews always my mother was imposing me to eat garlic by telling me it's good, to be smart like jews lol.

I don't understand how did jews became "European"? when they lived in Europe they were always looked upon as the non natives of Europe, who in most cases physically look very differently from the European Christians and are much darkers , and were told to go back to Palestine and it was clear to everyone that they are not native Europeans and belong in the middle east originally just like gypsy communities who live in Europe were always known to not be natives and belong in india. But then when they actually DID what people told them to do for centuries (go back to the middle east) and refounded their homeland people started calling them Europeans
Quite a few Jews are white not darker. But they still don't look European and can tell the difference between them and Europeans. (I'm European so I would know).
You are way off the mark....or you seriously need prescription glasses.
Jews come in all shapes and colours which is why European Jews look European......Jews from Eastern Europe look no different from other Slavic tribes, Jews from Southern Europe look Mediterranean, like Jews from Iraq looked like Arabs, Yemeni Jews look like Muslim Yemenis just like Berber Jews look like other Berber tribes, Lemba Jews look African, etc etc. .....and ALL look different from each other.
Tell me Avigdor Lieberman doesn't look Russian or that Bibi could be Putin's long lost brother.
gur ruh avigdor doesn't look russian, lol. you're not european and can't tell most caucasian ethnicities apart.
@@MortezaFC Lieberman looks as Russian as they come..... and looks like a fish out of water in Palestine .....just like most of the Ashkenazim.
to modern inhabitants of the levant, jews look more european than levantine, so they get called european. and it makes sense given that ashkenazi jews (and non-mizrahi sephardic jews) acquired around 40-60% southern european admixture in the roman era. on top of that, endogamy and time produced its own unique looks in jews that would differentiate them from both europeans and levantine natives. and on top of that, levantine people changed in the last 2000 years as other peoples mixed with them.
then you have western leftists who can only understand politics in a white vs nonwhite, oppressor vs oppressed frame and project that onto israel-palestine.
I was born in Israel a couple years after my parents repatriated from Russia and curiously always felt more Russian than Israeli. We spoke Russian at home (and still do). I grew up watching Soviet-era cartoons that my parents brought with them on VHS tapes and eating Russian food (sans pork). The only Jewish things we ever did at home were lighting candles and eating donuts on Hannukah, and eating the apples with honey on the Hebrew new year day. We've always celebrated the Jewish holidays by simply having a family gathering with a Russian-style feast. Our most important holiday is New Year's Eve (Soviet Christmas). I barely knew how Kosher rules actually work until I got into the army and had to do kitchen duty there. I never liked identifying as a Jew or even as an Israeli.
But then I visited Russia a few times and felt completely out of place, so I can't identify as Russian anymore, but I'm still a bit uncomfortable identifying as Jewish. I guess you could say I am without culture :P
Without culture? Quite the opposite. You have many (and given how you write, you seem to have 'much', too).
70 years of communism torn out a lot of Jewish culture from Jews in the USSR..
It's normal that they don't feel "Morrocan" or "Yemenite" or "Iraqi" or whatever. They were born in Israel, some of them have been here for several generations, and also they're a melting pot. Most of them are not pure Polish or Turkish etc. They're mixed. It's exactly the same thing here in Canada, where people come from all over the world and after a generation or two, there is no connection anymore to the ancestors lands. They are all CANADIAN, right Corey? You should know. However, if they were older when they immigrated to Israel, well yeah...you can take let's say the Persian out of Iran, but you'll never get Iran out of him. He'll remain Iranian till death. I always think of you as Canadian, rather than Israeli, because that's just what you are. And you probably think of yourself as Canadian too, right?
I desagry with your comparison on mix races in Canada and Israel. Israel has a more diverse pool of Mix. For instance the girls who's half Ashkenazi half Turkish. You can't find the same diverse mixes in Cananda such as can be found in Israel. In Canada each race mixes with their own race in general.

You would fit well into the KKK, you Victor Vancier wannabe.
To all the Moroccans in the reactions that say "we treated the Jews well" as a Moroccan Jew I will explain how you are both right and wrong at the same time:
Let's take my family as an example.
My grandmother owns a large family tree in Morocco, so great that my great uncle (according to the grandmother) was the adviser to the king at some point. She still lovingly describes Morocco and says that the Jews were treated very well there and protected them.
And here, you are right, the king, and the people in her city treated the Jews very well.
But my grandfather did not live in my grandmother's town, he came from a small village (and a poor day) where the Jews were treated cruelly, I will demonstrate the relationship with a chilling story:
One of the Jewish women in my extended family was very beautiful. One day a Moroccan Muslim came to her and asked her for marriage. She did not agree to marry him, because she wanted to marry a Jew who was a member of her community. The Moroccan threw acid on her face. She died a few days later. This was the life of the Jews in the villages. There was no enforcement of the king over the remote places, and "bakeries" and "hamulas" controlled large parts of Morocco. The people in the villages were Jews who emigrated to Morocco from Spain (because of the Inquisition) and perhaps because of this the Moroccans treated them as "foreigners" and abused them in the villages.
In other words, you are right, as a country you were really nice to Jews, so nice that my grandmother visits Morocco almost every year because she loves her childhood, but your rule was weak, so the Jews were severely affected in villages far from the capital. So every Moroccan Jew you ask will give you a different version, as if the Moroccan Jews lived in the same country of Morocco - but in totally different states.
By the way, the same is true of Poland. There are Polish Jews who still love Poland and say that it was conquered and the Poles loved them - and there are the Jews in the villages who simply suffered constantly. They came from Poland, one country - and two different states.
@Fady Al Qaisy
_"The land of Israel is Arab"_
Isn't Morocco "Arab" in your eyes?
The Jewish people belong to the land of Israel and the land of Israel belongs to them. That is why lives of Jews in other countries has always been precarious.
@Fady Al Qaisy
wait, did you just said *"JUDEH belongs to ARABS"?* 😅😂
what's next? does India belongs to Arabs too? maybe Frace? does *France* belongs to *Arabs* and not to *French* people just as *Judeh* belongs to *arabs* and not to *Jews!?* does Cyprus? or China? does they belong to Arabs too? 😂😂😂😂
man, you people think the world belongs to arabs 😂😂😂😂
@Fady Al Qaisy
and Marrcian are berbers, not arabs, my granny knows, she always visit them, that's what they say.
though they do have many arabiased people. that doesn't makes them arabs, they have their own beautiful cultures and traditions.
Thank you for your personal insight.

Very true
PEOPLE IGNORE THIS PROPHECY: The children of Israel were scattered among the gentile nations and treated as third class citizens and learned their culture and language .However, genetically speaking , the culture, Hebrew language are still descendants of Jacob. Some who were not devout Jews were intermarried with the gentiles others didn't but kept Torah. The Apostle Paul was born in Tarsus, modern Turkey and also had a Roman citizenship, because Turkey at the time belonged as Roman colony or commonwealth of the Roman Empire. However, Paul said that he was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, Explain that. That's how everyone who came from another country to Israel. Romans 9:3,7 and Romans 11:1
As a Serbian in America it’s weird cause I litterally can’t bring myself to have the same amount of guilt as the average American
@@sidimightbe What are you talking about? Why would you feel guilty? Why do you think Americans feel guilty?
Viki, you're talking about the post-USSR aliyah, these people are still 1st generation, ofcourse they won't feel connected, but talk to their children or grandchildren who were born here and studied the language since birth and you'll hear something completely different. Most of the first immigrants (circa 1882) came from Ukraine and west Russia, and their descendants (which are like 4 or 5 generations already) will tell you they don't have any feeling of belonging to Russia or Ukraine.
At 5:38, the woman says "ir va'em be'Yisrael" (a city and a mother in Israel, not "a city in the heart of Israel"). It is a traditional way to say that it was a great Jewish community, where Israel is a shorthand way of saying people of Israel, aka Jews. Just explaining for people who don't know.
For me as an American Jew, I feel a stronger connection to both the US and to Israel. My family came from Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Soviet Georgia. If I were to go to any of those places, I know I would never be able to look at the locals and feel some kind of connection, because we are different. But in Israel, I feel a much stronger connection. I feel safer there compared to the US.
Only inside the Green Line. Otherwise you would be safer in the US. Unless you venture into a Democrat run inner city, in which case take your chances in Hebron!
If you're american why do u feel stronger connection with israel than us? I mean i get people here who are second or third generation israelis but you're born in us i assume still live in us. Why do u think that Jews from Israel who are mish mash of different backgrounds are closer to you than americans?
@@drjayteamk4531
not who you're asking, but the answer is pretty multifaceted
1) Two random Jews will be more similar to each other than two random Americans
2) The history of persecution of Jews have made us skeptical to our safety in nations other than Israel
3) Interpersonal antisemitism in Israel is played for laughs
That's essentially what it boils down to
Then why do so many jews reside in America? Israel has plenty space. @smutz131
Because you hate Europeans.
It's really a good video, but you shouldn't translate "Edah" into ethnicity or ethnic background, this is not what it means and it doesn't work in English like it does with Hebrew since It's a biblical Hebrew word that was intentionally brought to life for modern Hebrew. It used to describe the communal affiliation of each tribe of the twelve tribes and the division between them and now in modern Hebrew it simply means a community or communal heritage.
Each Jewish diaspora created their own community in the city/country they were born in, this influenced their religion and created new traditions, nusach and specific customs within Judaism which are still preserved today (but aside from the religious, today's generation is not very aware of all those, they are aware more of the food & culture of their parents instead). The meaning of the word can vary depends on how you use it because according to the Jewish religion, the belongness to an Edah usually passes from the paternal side, that includes its surname, congregation, customs, language & pronunciation and for converts, they usually go by their near by community), however most people will go by the neutral definition that includes both sides.
Anyways, now in daily usage in Hebrew it's just a word that describes a people in tribal sense that live in Israel - it could be applied for family origins such as edah marokait for moroccans and edah romanit for romaniams but also for religious groups with a communal background like edah haredit for ultra-orthodox and edah notzrit for the christian communities.
You're very correct but you should understand that the context of this video is that people ask themselves "why can't the jews go be to where they are from", and that's why Edah is used for ethnicity. Although thinking about it, now your remarks are twice as important.

Your videos are so important those days...
Most people don't know the *basic terminology* and this is why they can't answer correctly about their Ethnicity.
Ethnicity *has* to do with genetics, but not exclusively.
In the greek language, these terms are absolutely clear and i will try to clarify these terms in English:
1. *Indigenous(ship) or Native(ship)* means that a group of people are *directly related to their ancestors (genes).*
They call themselves by a common name. For example "Greeks" (from Athens, from Sparta, from Macedonia etc).
2. *Citizen(ship):* A Native (natural) Chinese moves to USA and gets the US citizenship. This means he now
has a *legal relationship with USA,* but he will remain "Chinese" in his "genes". Even after generations, his family
will look "Chinese", if they will keep marrying with Chinese people. They will remain *Indingenous/Native Chinese.*
3. *Ethnicity:* All Indigenous/Native Chinese immigrants around the world, belong to the Chinese Ethnicity, i.e. they
may have another citizenship, but their nature is "Chinese" if they also feel "Chinese". They just live abroad (out of China).
4. *Clarification: What is your Ethnicity?* Read the following examples:
a) A Chinese, who lives in China, is Indigenous/Native and has the Chinese Citizenship. He also belongs to the
Chinese Nation, i.e. his Ethnicity is "Chinese".
b) Some Chinese immigrants live in USA for 2-3 generations. Some of them are mixed with Russians, with
Germans etc. *In this case, since they have mixed genes, their Ethnicity depends on how they feel.* Some of
them might still feel as Chinese, others as Germans and others as Russian.
My Greek Ancestors, for example, Herodotus, *defined Ethnicity* as: "Same blood (common biological roots), same language,
same religion, same tradition/behavior/habits".
The more of these properties we have, the more we belong to a specific Ethnicity but common biological roots is the most important.
"Same religion and same habits" is explaining to us why some *mixed* people will say (correctly): "I don't feel Iranian, i feel Israeli".
*Last but not least,* these terms don't have the same meaning in all countries, *for.. unknown "reasons"...*
For example, when we take a look at some official documents within EU, the term "Ethnicity" is translated as "Ethnicity"
in many languages. *But* in some cases, for example in Greek Language, it's intentionally mistranslated as "Citizen-ship" or as "Native-ship"
or "as indigenous-ship". That's pretty weird...
@bobrzycapola No, they don't and things seem to be different with the term "Jew". For unknown reasons, they (not sure who exactly) defined "Ethnicity" in a special way. A quick answer for "Ethnicity" however is that it also includes the habits (culture) and the will or emotional hook of someone to belong there. A Chinese may or may not be hooked, but that doesn't change the fact that his nature is "Chinese".
@bobrzycapola I improved my first comment a bit, because my English was (and still is) terrible, so read it again.
the question is absurd TBH. Imagine asking an Irish American or a (Volga) German American if they feel Irish or German (or Russian?) more than they feel American, or if they'd be willing to relocate.
Its just absurd at so many levels.
I'm Polish American but I honestly feel more Polish than American. I think their responses have to do more with their Jewish ancestors never really being Iraqi or Polish to begin with.
@@Userius1 Less than 100 years ago you would have been branded an antisemite for saying that.
@@chugalongway01 Yes, so?
User which generation American are you? Are you sure your children will feel more Polish than American as well? What about their children?
The people being interviewed at least 3rd generation. While your experience as an American of Polish descent might be different, Irish or German Americans who have been here for much longer I am sure feel very differently.
@@sumitbafna27 I'm the 2nd generation I believe, meaning first one to grow up in the US. I can't tell you how my children will feel. That all depends on whether I follow through on moving to Poland.
Besides in all my 25 years I don't think I ever really found out what being "American" means to me, other than creditors, collection agencies, fraud, etc.
And I never identify with anyone else on a broad scheme of being American beyond other people just being human beings, so my Polish side feels like a more natural concept.
I have an persian backround but i was borned i germany and i feel german and not really iranian. I think its a normal thing because they are more used to israeli culture than their other backrounds.

What does your race or skin color have anything to do with belonging to a people or nation?
And most jewish diaspora groups can trace their ancestry to the levant.
It has everything to do with it.
@Fady Al Qaisy The international community(LoN) recognized the historical and importance of the land with the jewish people(black, white, and brown) in 1922. They made Britain facilitate jewish immigration from whereever and recognized jewish agency in mandatory palestine
@ As a arab said, being indigenous has more to do with your cultural identity and sense of belonging than your dna.
@Fady Al Qaisy Ashkenazim have middle eastern and south european ancestry.
Jews had their genesis and coalesced in the land thousands of years ago. Israelites and Phoenecians branched off from Canaanites.
Canaanites were not arabs.
@Fady Al Qaisy Canaanites were multi ethnic pagan tribes, that have barely anything to do with the arabs calling themselves palestinians.
We don't even know what they looked like.
They are long gone, but their descendants are still here today,
I know people's answers are making the point of all being culturally Israeli Jews, and hence their bond. but I'm gonna comment from the 'DNA perspective'. First Yemenite girl in red - brunette with dark curly hair, has virtually the same facial features/proportions as a former girlfriend of mine - who has straight blond hair, green eyes and is of Ashkenazi (Russian and Latvian) origin - thus an example that modern Jews are indeed of Middle Eastern origin - it's just that they absorbed/intermarried with, to various extents with gentile converts from their host populations - that's why as a whole Ashkenazim 'look' more European - their admixture elements are of South/Central and Eastern Euro blood...Sephardim have Iberian admixture, Mizrahim have admixture from other Middle Eastern/West Asian peoples, and so forth. Genetic studies have confirmed that over and over.
tiluriso And?
@@mattiamele3015 And? What do you mean 'and'? Didn't you watch the video and read my comment? Do I have to explain it? Corey is probing the Cultural Unity/similarity of the Israeli Jews, in relation to the various Diaspora cultures, from where their immediate ancestors came from, and all are unequivocally stating they would visit, but never go back and live there, because they wouldn't feel like they truly belong, even if they might 'pass' in terms of 'looks'. Hence they belong in Israel, the land of their ancestors. My comment is merely restating basic unity of the Jewish People his, their Levantine origin and how they do indeed belong in Israel, but I'm doing it from a genetic/DNA point of view. Capisce?
I took a DNA test and my Sephardic part was Middle Eastern mixed with Italian, Greek and Iberian. I was surprised to see that Iberian was actually the smallest portion.
@@todaysview6120 But overall, Ashkenazim also have 'South Euro' admixture too, in many ways as much as Central and East Euro, which makes sense, because at the onset of the Diaspora, the first main point of entry of ancient Levantine Jews into Europe was Rome - The Roman empire ruled Europe. So likely after establishing themselves there for awhile (and likely absorbing some converts in Rome (modern day Italy) they stared moving to other parts of the empire, namely the Iberian Peninsula and The Rhinelands. Also noteworthy is the fact that many Italians, especially those from the South often test positive for a significant amount of Greek admixture - a genetic signature from the days of Magna Graecia.

I think the biggest cause of the difference is that when the Yiddish, Ladino and Arabic-speaking Jews were coming in there was huge societal pressure to assimilate to Israeli culture so speaking their old languages was very frowned upon, and a lot of them changed their names to Hebrew names as well. The Russians (and Ethiopians), coming decades later, were never put under this pressure. You can often even see signs in places like hospitals translated into Russian and Amharic. My grandparents have lived here 23 years and still can barely say a sentence in Hebrew.
@Aline R Thanks for your explaination. Yes, in Israel the word eda or ethniticy has a different connotation then when you ask an American or Australian whats your ethnicity? Since all Jews, what ever the colour or place of birth trace themselves back to Jacob and the 12 Tribes who lived in Canaan. Converts beeing a side issue. One can differentiate further using different Hebrew terms. Besides for Eda (ethnicity) there is Shevat (tribe), Kehillah (community), Nussah (style and tradition of prayer), Tarbut (culture), Daat (religion) and Beit Knesset (synagogue) and Ezrahut (Nationality).
Take my family for example:
My half-brother and I grew up in Germany. We share the same Jewish mother. He was born in America to a sfardi Levi. He is from the tribe of Levi, eda turkish, (great-grandfather was born in Turkey), therfore sfardi, and has German as his native language (mother always spoke German) and American citizenship.
Whereas I am Ashkezani (born in BeNeLux, at the moment I live in Germany). When I made Aliyah years back, and you'd ask me this question I would say eda Ashkenazi, because my mother was born in Poland and I made Aliyah from Germany and German is my native language. My father is a non- Jew from France living in Spain, but I am not sfardi even though Sfard means Spain. Also I am not Levi, only my brother is a Levi. In America I was chassic and belonged to a chassidic community. In Germany now I am not chassidic, more secular, but I can go pray in the Nussach of the Chassidim. In Israel I changed my way of speech from chassidish ashkenazi to standard Israeli Hebrew. When I visitied my family in Spain I saw clearly that I am neither Belgian, French nor Spanish. When I move back to Israel from Germany, I will also say I am edat Ashkenazi Polani, but my passport could be German, my native tongue German and yes I have also German culture in me, after all my family has been living in Germany for 60 years. But with all my German papers, language is cetera , when I was living in Israel I always felt 100% Jewish and 100% Israeli. Now back in Germany, the longer I live in Germany, the less I feel German. Although I have all German passport, My German is accent-free, my friends are German and I did my professional training here.
What is great about Israel is, my flatmate was edat Ethiopia, my other flatmate cooked Tripoli, 'my shidduch then took me to the synagogue of edat yemenite, but his parents were from Iraq too. So all this makes Israel special. I also loved the Israeli-Moroccan kitchen and enjoy the Mizrachi music, from Iran to Morocco.
When my polnish ashkenazi mother married with a sfardi in the US they did a gene check, cuz you never know, who is related to whom. (the turkish side came from Spain via Italy and my white French family moved to Spain via Belguim). But they met in Germany.

@Fady Al Qaisy Why do you think that all the land belongs to the Palestinians?
If the Palestinians weren't so greedy, and if the would like to share the land with us, they could have a country from 1948.
If all the Jews would not pray 3 times a day and say in prayer: God will restore us to Zion. Or when they are blessed with food: and you will bring us to Israel. Or when married people say "next year in Jerusalem, and the bridegroom also says" If I forget holy Jerusalem, I will forget where my right hand, that my tongue will stick to my palate, if I do not remember you Jerusalem. Every day, several times a day Jews would mention the Holy Land and Holy Jerusalem. It is only through this that they returned to their country from anywhere in the world after 2000 years.

Polonia is "Poland" in Latin. Polonia Maior or Greater Poland, a historical region of Poland. Polonia Minor or Lesser Poland, a region of Poland too.
@@СлаваСоюзуСоветскихСоциалистич you speak latin in Israel?

The French called “pieds noirs” too they felt Français d’Algerie. They all were born in Algeria but in 1962 they had to leave Algeria. Their great grand parents came and colonized Algeria, like yours colonizing Palestine. After 132 years, on the fifth of July 1962 they all left in a hurry after a bloody war. Now they are scattered all over France. Algérie Française was an utopia for 132 years. Palestine and Western Sahara are the last countries to be decolonized. Hopefully it will not be as bloody as the war 1954-1962. Shalom.

what a great subject it was for question : i've always been surprised by how everybody in those videos always introduce themselves by their "background" and where they come from (before they even mention their name). I don't know if Corey makes this look common or if it is just normal to walk up to a person in Israel and ask where they come from or like Corey voices it "Hello..., So... what is your background?"
The question has a different connotation in a Jewish/Hebrew context. He doesn't ask what's your cultural background, but rather to which "eida" do you belong? This is a word that is hard to translate, as it refers to a specifically Jewish phenomenon, related to religious and traditional customs and/or prayer styles at present, not just in the past.
Yes, fairly common. another interesting question you get a lot in first dates is where you served in the military.
It's an extremely common question here in Israel
In essence these people are Jews (Levantines), that is their people, ethnicity and race. That's the part that they adhere to and regardless of which land they are in being a jew is the only factor. The people in all of those nations don't see them as Poles, Danish, Algerian or Greek. They are Jews and just residing in those lands and are not of those people.
The Children of Israel dispersed unto many nations. Israel is mixed with many nations but through the father ultimately go back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Beautiful sons and daughters of Zion.
@Fady Al Qaisy really? Arab who spoke Hebrew ! Lol so when the children of Israel have ceased to speak Hebrew and translating the entire Tanak in Arabic??!?
@yah' qub I have never pretended to be So ! M'y question was ,since when the children of Israel have definitively ceased to speak hebrew? There are those who claim that They are ARABS ! Is there any trace of Arabs presence in this land 3000 years back?
@yah' qub I thought the same ! The mother of Yishmael is Hagar an Egyptian of descent ! According to their tradition ,Arabs are sons of Yishmael !
The Israelites are of Yitzhak ! Difference is that God himself has given the Land of Israel to the sons of Yitzhak which is an eternal Heritage ! I dont understand why calling them settlers in the Land of their forefathers?? Historical,Archeological evidences clearly point that the language that was spoken in that land 3000 years back is Paleo Hebrew !
God gave this land to Israel not to the Canaanites ! Why they dont just try to Co-exist! Aaah I know ,Arabs dont want peace with them.
i am wondering how Jews in the US or Canada are going to answer to the same question!!!
How could someone really consider themselves Polish/Iranian/Yemeni etc
If they don’t speak the language or know the culture, literature, serve in those armies, know the history etc.....
their roots clever you can't deny it
It's an answer to all lefties and Arabs who think that the Israelis should to return to countries they come from. That's a point
1.Jews are mostly of sam ethnicity except the recently assimilated/mixed and groups that are descendend from converts, such as Ethiopian Jews.
2. He is asking about their "Eida (literally "testimony")"-that word has religiuos/cultural not ethnic meaning-Not an ethnicity
Ex. Many people would say Russian Jews are an Eida, but there is no such thing, there is no russian Jewish praying custom, no "Russian" Halacha (Law). Just a group of Ashkenazi Jews that assimilated into the Russian culture, large proportion intermarrying with Slavic people
3. Cory is a Leftist and tries to present Israel to leftist western public as such.
Israel is Not a multi ethnic society, but a home for the Jewish nation and was created to serve this purpose.
4. My belief-God chose the Jewish people and commanded to conquer the Land of Israel

That is the narrative that the Arabs try to sell, that Jews were "dumped" in Israel -- as if the Jews didn't want to go there but were "forced". It's like saying that people who immigrated to America were "dumped" there... No, they left where they were, and sought a better life. And the Jews who were already living in the area welcomed them, unlike how Arabs treat other Arabs who emigrate from other countries. That's the narrative they have to sell so they can say their land was "stolen", when really it was bought and paid for. And on top of that, look at the land that most of the Jews moved to -- it was barren desert. Look at pictures of Tel Aviv during its founding in 1909... It was just a bunch of sand dunes. There was no one living there to "force out".
If what makes you part of a nation is pretty much your upbringing and your belief that you belong to a nation, why are Israelis saying there is no Palestinian nation, since Palestinians are being brought up as Palestinians and believe they belong to the Palestinian nation?
Because as far as the Israelis are concerned, the idea of a Palestinian nation is a cynical political tool used by the Arabs to justify kicking the Jews out of their own homeland - because there has never in history been an actual sovereign country called Palestine. Arab nationalism is a relatively recent phenomenon (as opposed to Pan-Arabism), and modern Zionism is a few decades older than the idea of a Palestinian nation. That said, it is a bit hypocritical to deny them the right to self-identify, regardless of where the idea first came from.

Wow, that one Yemeni woman in the middle looks just like my 3/4 ashkenazi, 1/4 sephardi aunt (but a little darker).
PEOPLE IGNORE THIS PROPHECY: The children of Israel were scattered among the gentile nations and treated as third class citizens and learned their culture and language .However, genetically speaking , the culture, Hebrew language are still descendants of Jacob. Some who were not devout Jews were intermarried with the gentiles others didn't but kept Torah. The Apostle Paul was born in Tarsus, modern Turkey and also had a Roman citizenship, because Turkey at the time belonged as Roman colony or commonwealth of the Roman Empire. However, Paul said that he was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, Explain that. That's how everyone who came from another country to Israel. Romans 9:3,7 and Romans 11:1
PALIESTINE If You Are So Sure That Palestine Was a Nation : 1 ) when was it founded and by who ? 2 ) where were its borders ? 3 ) what was its capital ? 4 ) what were its major cities ? 5 ) what was the language ? 6 ) what was the primary religion ? 7 ) what was its form of government ? 8 ) what was their currency called ? 9 ) what was the currency exchange rate with : ( nation of your choice ) ? 10 ) what constituted the basis of its economy 11 ) who was one the leader before Arafat ? 12 ) since there is no such country today what caused its demise and when did it happen ? You are lamenting the depths " of a " once proud " nation . Please tell us , when exactly was that nation proud and what was it so proud of ?
You should have posed this question to people who at least know the language, it would be more interesting and nuanced. As a Russian speaker I can tell you that when I travel to Russia I blend in pretty seamlessly, much more so than when traveling to English speaking countries.
карапуз, у тебя двойное гражданство?
the russian alia is a spacial one, i can assure you most israeli russians do feel connected a lot to russia and may not even know hebrew.
they were one of the latest alia aswell. and they defenitly had a way harder time being jewish in russia becuese of stalin, making them more russian then independent nation within nation.
I may add that they are very good and smart people though! And feel israeli in many ways!
@@Benadon That's complete BS and you know it. Russia has always treated its Jewish people badly. The pogroms during tsarist times to Stalin being almost as anti-semetic as Hitler to even today Putin siding with Iranians and Arab states over his so-called Israeli "allies". The "special" relationship between Israel and Russia is nothing but a sick joke.
@@richardschiffman7657Jews were always friends with Germanic whites ,Russians don't trust you simple as that
Would be interesting to know how many of these peoplr fled "their" country when the going got tough.

Thanks for these videos. Hopefully there'll be peace one day between Muslims and Jews in the middle east.
High hopes.
I suggest to start with one of the more simple conflicts of the middle east, and more acute.
Plenty to choose from.

All glory, honor, and praise to you Lord Jesus Christ! Yeshua Hamashiach! As said in the scriptures there will come a time when the Jews will accept the Messiah; this is during the tribulation. And Jesus is coming so soon! The times we are living in are evident! If you haven’t already allowed Christ into your heart, take a second and think about eternity. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! No one will be justified by works of the law! Jesus died for all sins once for all and rose from the dead on the third day. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior!
“Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
Matthew 21:42
“Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.”
Jeremiah 24:4-7
"“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ ”"
- Matthew 23:37-39
"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”"
- Romans 11:25-27
Yeshua Hamashiach! Today is the day to repent and come to Christ!
Admit you are a sinner
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23 NKJV
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
- Romans 3:23-26
Believe Jesus is Lord
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:9-10 NKJV
Call upon His name
“For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.””
Romans 10:13 NKJV

It’s quite sad that with the exception of maybe the Anglo countries, and perhaps Poland, Jews never were accepted. When you ask “do you feel you’re a part of them” or “would you like to live there?” It’s a hard no, because the locals wouldn’t want them.
Negation of Jews and Jewdaism is found in the base of Christ ianity and I slam.
That so outsider's questions. We're all israelies, we're all been persecuted in those countries we definitely don't feel belong there and we never thought of ourselves that way.
And that is the irony. A Jew no matter of what ethnicity will be singled out as a Jew by the majority but once in Israel, he becomes his / her ethnicity. Human beings are strange ....
Obsession of the guy making the interviews.
