What Happened to Mizrachi Jews of Arab Countries? | The Jewish Story | Unpacked

- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- In the second century CE, the Romans exiled the Jews of Judea and created a far flung diaspora which saw many Jews make their way to Europe, Asia and North Africa. Those who ended up in the East in countries like Iraq, Iran, and Syria and in North African countries like Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia would later become known as Mizrahi Jews.
Mizrahi Jews often prospered under Muslim rule in these countries, however by the twentieth century, as Nazi ideology spread to the Middle East, they found themselves facing violent attacks from their once peaceful neighbors.
By the mid-twentieth century, Mizrahi Jews were in desperate need of a safe haven. From 1948 to 1972, nearly 600,000 immigrated to Israel alongside other Jewish refugees from around the world. Though they faced a difficult transition and discrimination in their new home, Israel today is known for its richly-integrated Mizrahi culture.

More propaganda slop from the slop mill. Please, genetically define the "Arabs" and the "Jews". "Cultural traditions" are menaingless for a "tribal" people with a "blood" claim to their race/heritage/ethnicity/whatever else it needs to be at the moment. After all, without a scientifically agreed upon definition of terms, no discussion can be had. Define "Jew".
I have now received my DNA test kit! I hope I have some Jewish ancestry. I am a child of God, but I would love to be linked, somehow physically to His chosen people. As a devout Christian, I am linked spiritually in Jesus.
what a load of sophistry and propoganda "Nazi ideology spread to the Middle East, they found themselves facing violent attacks from their once peaceful neighbors. "...what you really mean when european zionist supremacists came to the Middle East in the late 19th cent to early 2oth century and when this european proto-fascist settlerist movement tried to change the landscape of jewish arabs...such a propaganda and garbage RUclips channel. shame on you all.

I’m an Iraqi Muslim, and recently took a DNA test to find that I am 11% Mizrahi Jewish! How awesome. My parents took the test too, and they both have Jewish ancestry, even more than me ! 15% for my dad and 12% for my mum
I got 14% Yemen dna from my mother side

@@mulanho2993 Hell ye, carpets unite
The ancestors of the Ashkenazi's were Mizrahi before they
first arrived in Europe, but IMO, since they were young men and
escaped Roman persecution with just the clothes
on their backs, they were forced to take local White European women
as wives to birth their Jewish sons.
And the rest is history.

E-V13/E-M123 IS EUROPEAN 40% OF ALBANIANS IN KOSOVO HAVE IT 20% OF SARDINIIANS 30% OF GREEKS AND SO ON
E-M123 originated some 19,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age and have a mostly European distribution today and their ages point toward a Neolithic diffusion.The descendants of L791, Y2947 and Y4971, only appeared around 3500 BCE, during the Late Neolithic or Chalcolithic period. The K257 and Y4970 branch emerged around 3000 BCE and is found in Iran, Armenia, Turkey, Russia, Greece, Italy and France, among others. It might be linked to the expansion of the Kura-Araxes culture from the southern Caucasus to Anatolia and Iran. It would then have spread to Greece and Italy alongside haplogroup J2a1 and T1a-P77. Y6923 also emerged around 3500 BCE. Modern carriers of this lineage descend from a common ancestor who lived only 1,200 years ago, and all are European Hebrews.
@@JacobIX99 Yeah so corny
I liked this video. I am 50/50 Ashkenazi and Yemenite, but I have to say that my family's story in Israel, the Yemenite side, began almost half a century before the modern state was created. My grandparents arrived in the area near Neve Tzedek around 1900. They were citizens of the Ottoman Empire and had lived in Yemen, then Alexandria, before arriving in Palestine. They never lived in Ma'abarot. But they were very poor and my grandmother and aunts worked washing clothes and cleaning houses for European Jews.
You do know the history of Jews in Yemen, excellent article called "The Rise of a Jewish Kingdom in Arabia."
@@mulanho2993 Thanks for your reply Mulan. I'll look for the article you cited.
@@mulanho2993 Yes, we know it. The Jewish Diasporah in Yemen was created by the Babylonians who Exiled Judeans (Jews) to the Arabian Peninsula over 3000 years ago. This is the oldest Jewish diaspora. Yemeni Jews lived with Arabs for over 1000 years before Islam and remained there till the modern era of the past 200+ years. As I mentioned in a previous comment, it is an interesting case study to see why some Israelites got Lost and others didn't. The Yemenite Jews did not return to the Second Temple, why, how did they stay Jews? Many of the people identifying as Arabs today have Jewish Roots; That's what being LOST ISRAELITE means; so what's the difference.
Himyar not Jews but converted to Judaism, same with Turkic Jewish. 70% of Israel are from Middle-eastern jews, more than half, its mean if arab, turkic, iranian and northern african wipeout jews, i dont think israel can exist. because the population of jews are small.
@@4clemptyes Abraham was the other of both.
The Jews of the Middle East especially in Iran have been there for more than 2500 years when the Persian king freed the Israelites from Babylon and offered them to either stay in Iranian territories or to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. Mysrahi Jews aren’t only those exiled by the Romans.

Your comment is based on wrong information.
My family is half Ashkenazi half Mizrachi (Iraqis) and I can tell you firsthand no one sees the other as anything other than Jews who had different experiences in the diaspora. No one thinks they are more Jewish than the other and no one thinks about who has lighter or darker skin. And most importantly none of the Mizrachi Jews ever thought of themselves as Arabs. Ever.
Some considered themselves jewish and there are some who still do..arab is not a bad thing if some jews want to consider themselves arabs then leave them alone..
@@mercyjames2639 it’s like a Japanese person calling himself Chinese. Jews are not Arabs by definition. I don’t care what any individual wants to do but I’ve never encountered any Jews who call themselves Arab.
I knew an Ashkenazi community that definitely preferred their children marry Ashkenazi...not saying the opposite doesn't exist but there is definitely discrimination
@@travelingva there isn’t “discrimination” - for generations communities married within their communities because of their customs. Ask any Syrian Jew how they feel about marrying outside Syrian Jews or Persian Jews… this ridiculous and false notion that Ashkenazim discriminated against other communities is absolute nonsense.
@@rocksteadyjew this isn't a binary issue...I didn't say all and I didn't say the groups thought less of eachother but there are definitely differences and there is definitely a desire for children to mary within their own denomination ...that being said there are probably millions that don't care. I found the more religiously adherent the more it might influence relations but definitely these groups are not necessarily negative towards eachother ...although I understand the ultra orthodox to be at odds with many of the other groups that are less conservative
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing. I am Ashkenazi, so I am learning more about our Mizrahi sisters and brothers!
Do you ever feel shame for the CORRUPTION AND LIES that so many jews are responsible for?!?🤮

Watching from Medellin Colombia
great video, and thank you for touching on sensitive topics like discrimination against Mizrahi Jews, too. We still have a long way to go, though we progressed so much in so little time.
both my grandparents from my mom's side are Iraqi Jews, they suffered great persecution and violence in Iraq, during the Farhood and other riots before the state of Israel was founded. they came to Israel and lived in Maabara tents for ten years, my great-grandma lived in a tiny Maabara house for the rest of her life.
thank you for sharing
Most MENA left due to colonizing aspiration, Iraq included.
@@mulanho2993 really? Then why did they only leave after the farhood and the 1947 massacres? Only after their houses wew robbed and they weren't allowed to go to university? My family was rich in Iraq and they had no intention to leave. But after my grandmother was abducted and almost raped and my great grandfather was badly injured in an antisemitic attack, what future could they find there? They wew forced to leave all their properties behind and lived more than 10 years in tents in israel. Does it sounds to you like they did it for fun?
This is the first doco I've ever heard mention anything about Jews in North Africa under Nazi occupation.I had never give it a thought myself until now.This is something I'll do some research on thats for sure!
Because it’s propaganda
If france didn’t take over their they would have been safe
It was France under the Vichy regime which collaborated with the Nazis by turning hostile to all Jews under its rule, i.e., French and Algerian Jews mostly. But this was temporary until the end of WWII.
2:00 a small correction, the moroccan sultan Mohamed V refused to give up his jewish subjects to the french colaborationists and protected them from persecution
Ashkenazi: They look and sound like our unfriendly neighbours
Also Ashkenazi: Look and speak german lol
Ashkenazim spoke Yiddish, not German.
@@Jewish_Israeli_Zionist Yiddish is made up of low,middle,high German with a few sprinkled Hebrew words. Somewhat like English is made up with the sprinkling of French words.. Ashkenazi Jews are not genetically linked to the Middle East. They are Europeans that converted to Judaism hundreds of years back.
Yiddish is a separate language from German. As a German speaker, I can't understand what they are saying most of the time - it's more distant to German than Dutch is@@imhere8380
@@imhere8380 not true, they are half middle eastern paternally. Where do you get this idea. It's not backed by data at all.
@@mybodyisamachine It is a Germanic language with many borrowed words from Slavs, Romans mainly which came about round the 9th c. When many converted to Judaism they borrowed and adopted some Hebrew and Aramaic words. Just how English evolved, adapting and borrowing.
I am inspired by Jewish people every day. Such a proud and wonderful culture that is strong and hopeful.
Very cool! Much appreciated and looking forward to learning more!

I would like to add to that video about one interesting Mizrahi community - The Tunisian Jews. prior to establishment of the state of Israel there were 100K Jews in Tunisia, 50% migrated to Israel between 1948 to 1967 , most other 50% to France and some other French speaking countries, some to Italy. 1500 are still in Tunisia some in Island of Jerba. Jerba Jews came 2300 years ago from Judea to Jerba as sailors along with Phoenicians that established the Kingdom of Cartago (Phoenicians spoke a language very similar to Hebrew so they got along), those Jews were in North Africa even before the Arabs , so their neighbors were Phoenicians and Berbers, there was very few mixture in that community and they have higher middle eastern DNA than other Jews. Other Tunisian Jews came from Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece) , few men had Berber or Arab women that were converted. It could be concluded that the Tunisian Jews are partly Sephardic, Partly Mizrahi.

thank you for this video.
I am a Jew of Middle Eastern dissent born in Mexico. I grew up hearing Arabic at home, eating Arabic food, and hearing Arabic music. In fact until recently the Mexican Jews refer to themselves either as being judíos árabes (Arab Jews) or judíos yidish (Ashkenazim). Not only is the terminology Jews and Arabs divisive, it is erroneous. There are Christians, Muslims, and Jews of Arab lands. Saying “Arabs and Jews” would be the equivalent of saying “Anglos and Buddhists”.
It should also be noted that the most ancient communities of Jews are from Yemen/Aden, Ethiopia, and Iraq. Surely had there been more Middle Eastern Jews in positions of power when Israel became a state, the subsequent history and current state of affairs would look very different. Having mostly European leaders in charge of establishing the Jewish state in the Middle-East was a fatal error. These were people who didn’t speak the language or have any exposure or desire to relate to the Middle-Eastern culture. All may not have been roses, but the Mizrahi Jews could have helped to bridge this perilous gap. And surely Arabic should have remained an official language alongside Hebrew. Speaking the same language is a basic element of communication and of RESPECT. So, at least we could have started by speaking the language of the Muslims and Christians living there at the time AND not denying the Arab Jews the comfort to speak their own language. Actually, I’d even go so far as saying that perhaps Aramaic could have been made one of the official languages. That would leave Hebrew pristine, for sacred purposes only, rather than watering it down with mundane daily speech. It’s a holy language and ought to be preserved as such.
Jews and Arabs are originally different ethnic group despite sharing common roots and having historically some admixture between them, but as Arabs conquered the Middle East and North Africa, many of us adopted Arabic and became identified as Arab Jews (taking into account that we lived in Arabic speaking countries). The same goes for many people of other ethnic groups (such as Assyrians, Egyptians, Armenians, Greeks and Kurds) also living in Arabic speaking countries or regions.
I agree that it is important to preserve Arabic and perhaps Aramaic could indeed be an official language in Israel as well, but Hebrew is our ancient language and should not be preserved for religious rituals only.
In regard to the conflict, perhaps things would also be better if people were more aware that many of the Muslims and Christians who self identify today as Palestinians actually have Jewish and Samaritan origins. In other words, they're also Israelites by bood (or at least partially Israelites) and therefore indigenous too (despite their admixture with Arabians and other people who settled in this land over the last 2,000 years).
Farmers in the Levant have been growing chickpeas since 8000 BC, do you really think that only 9000 years later only after the Arab invasion someone came up with the novel idea of frying crushed chickpeas into falafel balls.
Arabic food is the local cuisine appropriated by the invading Arab Islamic colonizing forces.
No you should’ve stayed your asses where you were. Arabic is the language of Palestine.
EXCELLENT presentation.
Wow!
The Mizrahi's are BEAUTIFUL in my sight!
They are indeed what the Ashkenazi ancestors started off as.
Thanks for sharing
Ashkenazi Jews are from Europe. They have no genetic links to the M.E. If you do your research, you will find the Europeans converted to Judaism round the 10th century. I could have my dates wrong, yet they converted and not at all genetically linked to the M.E..
*Excellent documentary very well done*
Watching this video gave me mixed emotions. I wanted to cry in sadness then cry with laughter and joy. Thank you for this video.
Thank you.
how about Sefardim?
are they included among the Mizrahhim or the Aśkenazim in the charts shown in the video?
Ashkenazim Sephardic and Mizrachi refer to 3 separate diaspora Jewish communities.
@@rocksteadyjew exactly. the chart on 6:00 shows Israeli population made up of only Mizrahhim and Aśkenazim. hence the question where the Sephardim are.
are they included in the Mizrahhi or in the Aśkenazi half within the chart?
@@xolang You’re right. In the chart they are including Sephardim together with Mizrachim.
the sefardic community is mixed into two groups;
Sefardic (sfaradi -ספרדי) are Jews that were from Spain (Sfarad) and exiled during the inquisition (which I assume you already knew)
Half of them stayed in Europe, while the other half moved to Asia and Africa.
The Sfaradim tham left Europe would be considered Mizrachi.
@@yoelalone No. Mizrachi Jews are Persian, Iraqi, Yemenite - although I think from a religious custom point of view they follow more closely the Sephardic customs such as which foods are eaten on Passover, etc and possibly the way the tefillin are wrapped.
As a non Jewish person, it seems weird that the Mizrahi would be treated as second class citizens in Israel. Don’t the Mizhari bear the most resemblance to the original Jews?
The more white you look the better you will be treated...that goes for every race, every ethnic or religious group in the world without exemptions
I think it was due simply to Ashkenazim being unfamiliar with their customs and also the fact that they tended to be more religious than the often secular Ashkenazim, who were then the majority. However, I don’t think they’re discriminated against very much anymore. Ashkenazim are also no longer the majority.
(OPENING QUESTION)
I see Hasidim praying at the Western Wall in full regalia. (frock coat, hat, teflin, tallit)
And then "What is Love" plays in my head because I'm twelve...
I have a similar base image for Islam where I picture people circling the Kaaba.
Islam is copy cat of Judaism and Christianity.
I do drool about Jerusalem bagels, but my experience of America was entirely secular with a little sephardic mixed in, its only recently that I've met a number of Ashkenazi, but in Altai and Bukhara have lived with the Mizrahi and love the fact that we share so many traditions despite being seperated for so many years.
Moroccan jews are Sephardic so calling them Mizrahi is a stretch, Iraq, Persia, Medina, Yemen, Tashkent, Bukhara, Isfahan, Golestan, Karachi, Kabul, Kashgar, Kuchi and Kaifeng I think of as Mizrahi but North African Judaism is identical to my traditions from Spain, Italy, Turkey and Greece.
I met a lot of ashkenazi when traveling north Europe. I think they stuck around those parts. I certainly don’t know the answer but I know for sure ashkenazi Jews are very white Caucasian Jews. So ethnically they are European
@Izzy Yarra were all Jews, so the looks aren't that big of a deal, the traditions are what surprised me.
@Izzy Yarra for example, the traditions in Kaifeng removing the goat sinew were the same in Bukhara and Morocco and also Spain.
@@israelizzyyarrashamiaak766 I’m Ashkenazi, blue eyed and my skin is, well, I guess light beige, but my sister has dark eyes, black hair and dark olive skin, I’ve been asked oftentimes if I am part East Indian or Italian, I guess, based on my slightly irregular features and very light olive skin, people are very confused, then there’s my sister lol. Guess I will need a DNA test to sort this all out as apparently we don’t look “classic Ashkenazi “ … I wonder if we have some Sephardic or Mizrahi in the mix. I dunno.
Great video. Really informative. I was reading an article about Jewish Moroccan communities earlier.
My dad was born in a Jewish village with a large Muslim community in Morocco, I was told the only way to distinguish between a muslim and a Jew there was on Shabat or Jumuah (Friday ) the rest of the week they were almost the same, what amazed me was the muslims and Jews lived in Riad where they share one Kitchen and the Kitchen had to be 100% Kosher and they had one room to pray for muslims and Jews , there was a calendar in Arabic and Hebrew . amazing integration.

Yes its true Israeli culture is way more Mizrahi than Ashkenazi culture.. the food, music, custom, slang, mentality in Israel are all heavily influenced by the Mizrahi Jews (they used to be a minority but today the Mizrahim are 50% of the population, and 20% mixed with Ashkenazi and Mizrahi parents)
Where did you get that statistic?

No it's not true stop making stuff up, The Israeli flag, Israeli Anthem, Zionist movement, Israeli music and Israeli way of life like Kibbutzim and Moshavim are all Ashkenazim, Mizrahim(Arab) Jews are not welcomed here and never were either.

If you are African American and related some how to a Jewish ancestor than it is most likely an Ashkenazi Jew because back than only white Jews from Europe were allwoed to immigrate to the U.S..there were no Mizrahi Jews in the U.S back than ( even today almost all American Jews are Ashkenazi from Europe) if you want to know more you can take a dna test with 23andme or Ancestry its not that expansive

Jews are all COLOURS. LOVE them ALL.
As an Asian, considering their physical and cultural characters, I still think that Jewis, Arabic, Armenian, Romans, White people, they come from the same root. Just like the East Asian people, the Malayu, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Koreans, came from the same root. If we can live side by side in our different ways, why should we continue to fight? The Asians already forget it.
Technically white people and arabs would be like comparing east asians to central asians. Although Jews and Arabs honestly sometimes pass for each other and be treated with respect. Also, asians are by no means peaceful with each other, sometimes: They’re even more xenophobic. Koreans and Chinese to the Japanese
Where can I find the background music? I love itt
I wish the terms Mizrahi and Ashkenazi would be a thing of the past. We are Jews and our DNA is the same. We unfortunately had to relocate to other countries following our expulsion. However, we have returned home and have created a unique culture molded in part by some of flare of the countries we were forced to relocate to. The major difference between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim is in the area of food but in terms of heritage and identity we are identical. These terms are divisive. We are Jews. We are family. We are Israeli. We are home.

very nice and informative video besided of few points you left out.
1)many of the mizrahi jews didnt live among arabs or aravic speaking societies-including my mom's family who lived in urmia. persian jews,assyriac speaking jews(north iran and kurdish areas of iraq),buchari jews,turkish jews(sefaradim and urfalim),georgian jews,azeri jews and russian caucasus jews,aphgani jews and on broader terms indian and pakistani jews(not to mention sepharadim in the balkans and gibraltar whose ladino culutre is almost identical to other sephardi jews in the middle east and egyotian jews who were mostly syrian sephardi,turkish sephardi and italians ) didnt even speak arab regularly ,and had stront cultural ties with the resr of the mizrahi jewish communities(more than theu had with the nations they lived among).
2) 120 k mizrahi and sephardi jews already lived in israel by 1948,300 thousand more came in the 1990s(buchari,georgian and caucsus jews).

Somebody needs to inform the Hebrew black Israelite claiming that they are Jews in the USA sick cult
In the same vein, the Ashkenazi Jews are far from constituting a single, uniform cultural block. If Northeastern European origin and culture is the norm in the US and in Mexico, it is far from being the end all-be all of Ashkenazyiout. I often get (almost) offended by fellow Israelis of Mesopotamian and South-Mediterranean descent assuming that Ashkenazi cuisine is bland and tasteless, because all they've been exposed to is the ultra-kosher misery fare of Galicia, Volynia and other such dismal persecution hellholes of the former Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. My family is from the South of strictly geographical Ashkenaz, that is, the Western bank of the Rhine River, and yes, we mind flavors and use spices like the French, with what can pass as somewhat approximate kashrut. For some reason, the stronger, more numerous Romanian subtribe has a quite similar cuisine, perhaps because they're just as rural as we are, or because they're geographically close to the Bulgarians, who themselves are mostly Sepharadic.
Moreover, our now-extinct Judeo-Alamanic dialect, which has thankfully been preserved by a French philological research lab, is ancestral to Yiddish, and predates the thirteenth Century's eastward migration of expelled French and persecuted German Jews into the more welcoming Central European Plains, with the formation of the Polish-Lithuanian entity that was in need of some commercial and financial expertise that could not be sourced locally.
It's complicated.
Fascinating. It reminds me of Gypsy / Roma people who suffered in near identical situations. Also up to 2 million holocaust survivors. They like the Jews took on the culture of the land while remaining very separate Very interesting. ❤
Self determination. A very interesting notion. If all people ought to be able to apply this concept, and they should, how is this to be done in light of the UN's/EU's interference in nation states? I would like to hear appraisals of apparent conflicts/tensions here....always seeking to learn 🙂

This was really informative. Thanks for sharing it.
May I ask what tribe Ashkenazi belongs to? they are 12 tribe referring to the 12 male Son of Prophet Yaquv , actually my great grandmother is one of the 1300 refugees from Europe they are called the Sephardi Jews , and his daughter (my grandmother my Lola )got married to the Local from the Royal house of Sulu , ( Sultanate of Sulu ) my grandfather from the Suluk or Tausug Muslim tribe in the Philippines, a just what to know my roots..
According to the Book, we are all descended from Judah, Benjamin and Levi, the tribes that were left in the Kingdom of Judah, after the rest of them in the seceded Kingdom of Israel had been smashed by the Neo-Assyrian conquest, ca. 740 BCE.
It makes sense that some, or many members of these 10 tribes escaped the disaster into the Kingdom of Judah and were not driven away in chains into the Assyrian heartlands.
There was never any real separation between Ashkenaz and Sepharad, all originated from the Kingdom of Judah with various converts joining in, especially around the Mediterranean in the days of the Roman Empire since conversion to Judaism ensured redemption from slavery. Even the far-away Yemenites were in contact and were kept current with all the developments and publications of Judaism, possibly through Basrah and Egypt.
Legend has it that a bunch of Danites working as mercenaries for the Pharaoh of Egypt had ventured upriver a long time before the demise of the Kingdom of Israel, and they are the ancestors of the Jews of Ethiopia as well as instigators of the African Iron Age, since they were also blacksmiths of renown, not only fearsome warriors.
Me, I have no trouble believing this romantic tale. Honestly!
If you can stand the truth, look right in the Torah. Askenaz is descended from Japheth not Shem even though they keep screaming and denying it. Just open your eyes and read it in Torah.
@@dorieldelorenzofelker5210 please stop already with this nonsense. The Ashkenaz person has nothing to do with Ashkenazi Jews even though they share the same name.
@@dorieldelorenzofelker5210
Ashkenaz is a name adopted thousands of years after the time of the original Ashkenaz son of Japeth, probably due to similarity of sound of Saxonian.
It is easy to understand that the Shem, Ham and Japeth are allegorical, Noah did not really have one son that is totally black and one son who was totally white.
@@rocksteadyjew I never said Askenaz in the Torah was a bloodline relative of those Askenazi all European DNA Askenazi Jews who came from Khazaria and whose King Bulan in 753 AD was forced at the point of Muslim sword to choose a religion of the book meaning either Torah christian or Islam. King Bulan was allowed to study those books and speak to scholars and chose Torah. Probably because that book and culture is brutally violent and glorifies slavery and genocide just like the Christians used the Torah and tanakh to justify their enslavement of Africans and murder genocide and enslavement of indigenous people in the north America in Central America and I'm south America continents, and Muslims follow in the same violent cruel tradition from the Israelite Torah of slavery violence genocide and murder like my cruel Israelite ancestors did to the Canaanites. I am peaceful Yogini now. I was not talking nonsense like a stupid little kid. It is difficult to discern people's tone and total thoughts from the written word. Shalom peace be with you. And I might add the christian gid Jesus was not was never a blue eyed blonde pink skinned man in appearance. Just look at the Bedouin people in Iraq where Abraham and Sarah came from. Brown skin like all those Israelites in the Pashtun mountains in Afghanistan and Pakistan the Taliban are forced convert to to Islam and can never convert back because the Arab Muslims will kill them in 3 days according to an order in their holy book the Quran for refusing to stay muslim.

My father, a sabra from a Yemenite background, Avshalom Cohen, wrote some of the most famous songs in Israel in the 1940s and early 1950s: "Agala V'Susa, "Ha Savta B'Negev," "Al Hof Eilat, "Abbale Bo L'lunapark." (the last song was stolen from him and he was not credited, the one who stole it changed a few notes in the melody.) He wrote songs for Shoshana Damari and for Yaffa Yarkoni. The Damari songs weren't big hits, very Arabic sounding, unlike his big hits. He grew up in Tel Aviv near the Allenby Cemetery. The State sold a few Yemenites land near the cemetery because the Ashkenazim didn't want to live there. My father's family were Yemenites who arrived in Palestine many years before the bulk of the Mizrachi Jews. They arrived around 1905.
thank you! I will make it may mission to share this information with progressives and Democrats who are prejudiced against jews
Right wing and ultra conservative politics are just as harmful. In order to stay objective, middle ground is needed. Being one or the other is further polarizing us as Jews.

Please correct your information Moroccan king refused to hand over the Jews by saying ""Only Moroccans live here ""
It's true, Moroccan leadership was very different from other countries in the middle east. Whereas the Moroccan King protected his Jewish community from the Nazis, the Iraqi government allied with the Nazis. There is obviously a great degree of variance by country, but Moroccan Leadership was generally the best to its Jewish community relative to the other Arab nations.
Palestinians were there even before the jews left Egypt.
They're colonizers too.
This Mizrahi thanks you

Thank U, infinite intelligence. ♾
This record omits the ruling of The League of Nations, and 3 rulings of the International Courts of Justice. I’ll leave it to the reader to find out what this means
I dont understand! Then what is the difference between Sephardic and mizrahim?
Sephardic refers specifically to Spanish Jews from the Iberian Peninsula. Many Sephardim fled to north africa and middle east after being kicked out of Spain. Therefore, youll see Mizrahi and Sephardic often being used interchangeably
Actually those terms should never be used interchangeably the term Mizrahi was specifically coined to denote those Jews from countries which did not have significant or any migration of Jews from Spain as opposed to Sephardic Jews who are descended primarily of Jews of Spanish descent who mixed with local populations of North Africa the Balkans turkey as well as Syria and Lebanon. Those Jews are Sephardic. Jews from Middle Eastern countries specifically Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, the caucuses, India and other countries in the region including Central Asian countries are not Sephardic they are called Mizrahi because the word means Eastern as opposed to west of those areas which do have and have had significant influxes of Spanish Jewish refugees.
Minor differences in both traditions and religious customs.
Both Sephardic and mizrahi are generalizing definitions, there are minor differences between customs and traditions, that have developed in any diaspora region, observation pending how close you look, however, the best indicative parameter is intermarriages, the high rate of intermarriages indicates that the differences are minute.
The video is not correct about the deportion camps in North Africa. Because in Morocco the Moroccan Jews in the country were protected by the late king Mohammed V. He rejected general Vichy by saying he could never turn over his own citizens. This is commonly known in Israël.
So what After that his son king Hassan ll sell the moroccan jews (part of his people) to the zionists for money (250$) per jew person that in 50's

I have fond memories in the 1980s seeing the bewitching Yemenite singer Ofra Haza sing a lament to the dead(the kaddish?) in Istanbul and falling love with a Yemenite lady called Irit Siani on a kibbutz. Oh, Irit, we could have had such beautiful babies!
This is a very lackluster video... I am very disappointed, I hoped to learn new things on mizrahim jews (as a moroccan muslim interested in learning more of the north african jews's history), but this is utter propaganda. +, why don't u talk about the poor treatement their received upon arriving in Israel ? The vast majority of them were poured into desert cities, they never saw jerusalem once, because of the askhenazis jews...

I wonder what it means that the majority of Jews who lived in Arab land, spoke Arabic, acted and made art like the Arabs and sang in Arabic still don’t consider themselves Arab. Even the ones that lived in Arabia 1600 years ago. It smacks of some perceived ethnic superiority. Especially since we know Arabs actually converted to Judaism and could hold both ethnicities simultaneously.
Because Jews never felt home in any place other than their homeland. Historical it never lasted long before they got bullied wherever they lived. And there was always discrimination.
Jewish prayers always talk about returning to the land of Israel.
@@MusicPlaylistsChannel I’m sorry are you saying Jews never felt German or Moroccan or Russian or wherever they lived for thousands of years???
@@Fivetimesthree
For the majority that's definitely the case. anti-Semitism is passed on every generation, there's no country historically where Jews were safe. Maybe India idk
If you aren't fully accepted, do you feel like one of them?
People left their houses behind for Israel (willingly and unwillingly) and had to start from 0 yet it was worth it.
Where I live in Europe my friends already moved there and my family are constantly contemplating to move too.
Just last week I overheard my grandma (who moved into Israel as well btw) on the phone telling my dad stories from her youth of how they kidnapped young Jewish girls in Morocco. I myself met a son of kidnapped Moroccan Jewish girl in Brussels. (He's Muslim) And Morocco is known as the safer place for Jews in the middle East of the last centuries..
Murder wasn't uncommon either, my last family member stayed behind in Marrakech was murdered.
We've plenty of houses there left behind.
Prayer books are well preserved from ancient times and it's filled with "returning to Jerusalem" prayers. It's in the daily prayers.
So it's definitely not superiority issue.
People are going to adapt to where they live, but Jerusalem is always in the back of their mind. And if they forget they inevitably get reminded by antisemitism.
I have been verbally attacked over tens of times and physically a handful.
I think in USA Jews feel less American than ever due to this issue as well. You're never safe. You can never rest.
Most of the Islamic art was Jewish. The praying style of Muslims today was originally Jewish. Even some food, like Hummus which mentioned couple of times in the Hebrew Bible. And we can't be Arabs because Arab countries were just an interval in the Jewish hiatory. We are from Judea (Israel), from the tribes of Judah-Benjamin-Levy-Simon, that's why we are called Jews - we belong to this land.

And I may be only a half insider, but given the Mizrahi and the Askenazi: what about the Sephardic Jews?
Jews from Spanish and Portuguese origins. Most fled to the middle East after persecution in 1490's
Serious question: How come a lot of them identify with the sephardic rite
Some of the Mizrahim are also Spharadic, but not all Mizrahim are Spharadic..Mizrahim from North Africa are Spharadic (Morroco, Tunisia, Lybia) because some of their ansestors fled from Spain to North Africa..but the rest of the Mizrahi Jews are not Spharadic by herritage only by the way they pray (they follow the Spharadic way of praying)..Mizrahim - Jews from Arab countries, Spharadic - Jews decendants of Spaniard Jews..I hope it helped you to understand
That is an easy question to answer the fact of the matter is that as opposed to Europe which had many printing presses the Middle East and the Levant and North Africa had very very few printing presses so the generic Sephardic rite which was favored in the lands in which the printing presses were found specifically in Italy and the famous Livorno printing press which printed a huge amount of Sephardic prayer books and subsequently these were distributed throughout the Middle East and North Africa it became much easier for people to adopt these prayer customs rather than have to rely on writing on parchment and preserving the local nuances and customs and prayer that isn't to say that everybody accepted it not at all in various countries like Syria and Yemen significant communities maintain the local ancient prayers however they were forced to continue to hand write their prayer books and only when they reached the modern state of Israel where they finally able to print their local ancient customs. As an example my own family comes from Yemen and Yemen is divided primarily between two prayer rights and that is the local ancient prayer customs called Baladi( From the word Balad or local in Arabic) and the Sephardic rite called Shami ( From the world A' Sham or the North) having been recently adopted printed Sephardic prayer books having been sent from Syrian Jewish communities in Damascus to Yemen 400 years ago as a convenient replacement to the Irreplaceable handwritten prayer books that the radical islamist King destroyed at the time.
@@ori1676why Jewish fled from Spain ?
@@M3ad45 Because back than Spain was a Christian Catolic kingdom, they didnt have much tolerance to other religions at that time so in 1492 they expelled all Jews and Muslims from their kingdom..those who stayed had to convert to Christianity (they kept their religion in hiding) this is why many of the Hispanic people or the Spaniards in Spain of today have genetic ties to Jewish people (they had Jewish who converted to Christianity in their family tree from back than).. google "the history of the Jews in Spain" and read it on Wikipedia..

By mizrahi do you mean also Sephardic?
yea they do
Sephardic means Spanish or of Spanish origin so no..Mizrahi means eastern from the middle east not where Spanish Jews settled which was primarly in the Balkans and North Africa.
no - sephardic refers to the diaspora communities of spain morocco syria primarily and mizrachi refers to iraq iran yemen primarily. ashkenazim and sephradim mostly were from the exiled Judeans after the Roman conquest (70 CE) whereas the Mizrachi communities were established originally from the Assyrian exile much earlier.
The morrocon and Tunisia Jewish communities worth a series for their own. They made a strong foot print culturally, and had respect from the kings along the years. Unfortunately the new establish israel needed them to fill the country with Jewish people and knowingly rapid acquired bigger army for the wars yet to come.

I’m disappointed that the initial partition of mandatory Palestine into current Israel and Jordan was not mentioned.
It’s important listeners know that Jordan has a population of 75-80% that identify as Palestinian and that Jordan is 3/4 of Palestine.
Jordan was a British gift to the Hashemite family of Arabia for helping to re-conquer the Middle East for Allah-Christ and caliphates-kings. The northern half of Jordan is also Israel. "Palestine" is the Colonial Arab-European's name for the land of Israel, which they sought to divide up however they felt. Hence, why the Jewish people of Judea-Samaria formed our "Fighters for the Freedom of Israel" paramilitaries and fought the occupying British and Arabs for near two decades, until we could achieve decolonization on as much of our historic land as possible. The Colonial Arab-European world has hated us ever since for this.
True
This is the Two-State Solution.
"Palestine and Transjordan are one." King Abdullah (1882 - 1951), king of Transjordan and its successor state, Jordan (1921 to 1951) -- Arab League meeting in Cairo,April 12 1948.
"Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is only one land, with one history and one and the same fate," Prince Hassan bin Talal (b.1947) of the Jordanian National Assembly and brother of King Hussein was quoted as saying on February 2, 1970.
"The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan." - King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan (1935-1999) [King from 1952-1999], in 1981.
Abdul Hamid Sharif, Prime Minister of Jordan declared in 1980, "The Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports, are Arabs and have the same Jordanian culture."
Arafat himself made a definitive and unequivocal statement along the same lines as late as 1993, when he declared that, “The question of borders doesn’t interest us… From the Arab standpoint, we mustn’t talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean. Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it…The P.L.O. is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call 'Jordan' is nothing more than Palestine.”
Yet supremacy
My great great grandma was an Ashkenazi Jew (lived in Poland and my mom's family is Polish actually), there is a female line from her to me - am I a Jew?
How? Lol it's patrilineal. Jacob/Israel is the progenitor of the Israelites so you'd have to come from a male descendant of HIS lineage.
Numbers 1:18 "And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their FATHERS, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls."
The only reason why "Jewish" ppl claim it's matrilineal is because after killing thousands of men, they took the Israelite women for themselves and procreated with them but that doesn't make the offspring Israelites. The father determine the "race".
1 Maccabees 1:31-34
[31]And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.
[32]But the women and children took they captive, and possessed the cattle.
[33]Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.
[34]And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.

Yemeni Jews have a different history. They are of the Israelite Jews who were exiled to the Arabian Peninsula by the Babylonians and did not return to Israel formally as a Diasporah until the State of Israel was formed. They did not return with Ezra the Scribe to Judea to rebuild the Second Temple. The Yemenite Jews is a very interesting case study in the context of Lost Israelite, to better understand Why many Israelites were Lost in the Babylonian exile but the Jews of Yemen didn't. There are two answers: One is Antisemites who remember who is a Jew even when Jews themselves forget...and Second is the Rabbinical System, Jews who stayed connected to it, did not get lost.

Hello @Unpacked , this video is certainly very interesting, but certain points have, to tell the truth, shocked or even outraged me to the point of disgust. From the SECOND MINUTE of this video, you mention, in support of a map, the fact that Muslim and North African countries collaborated with the fascist regime of Vichy to strip the Jews of their nationality and handed them over to a fatal fate. (I also underline the fact that you amputated Morocco from its Sahara, but that is another story). To refresh your memory, Morocco never delivered its Jews to anyone, and moreover, the reigning monarch at the time, namely Sultan Mohamed V, declared "In Morocco there are no Jews , there are only Moroccans. And if you take them, you will take me with them. This is to tell you all the protection that Morocco has offered the Jews, who have always been (and until this very day) full citizens enjoying the same rights and advantages as their fellow Muslims in Morocco. Moroccan Jews will tell you, moreover I invite you to consult the many testimonies about this subject.
And you, Unpacked, as a creator of content with many subscribers, remember that you have a great responsibility to respect history and above all to ensure that it is never tampered with, because if so, you are dangerously prejudicing those who have been “Righteous Among the Nations”.
As for me, as a proud Moroccan citizen, please believe in my desire to highlight untruths of this kind and to give back the merit of something to its true author.
@Marwa SEMLALI Well yes , I agree it is quite true what you write about Moroccan Jews, as for Algerian, Tunisian, Libyan and Egyptian ( well that concludes North Africa) Jews were at some points very badly treated , but even in those countries there was no mass collaboration with Nazis , there was some in Tunisia though. As for Moroccan Jews you are 100% correct to my view.
La Bas! I’ve been to Morocco many times and I love the Moroccan people… I hope Israel and Morocco continue to develop a better relationship moving into the future…
