      @@ruslanarhip4794 Taking “humanity as a whole” into account, I can assure you that not a single individual in our species is free from prejudice. This is neither particularly good nor particularly evil, but part of our nature.
      Now, as far as black anti-Semitism is concerned, there are some social justice and religious institutions run by black people, who openly and systematically spread hatred against Jews (Black Lives Matter, The Black Hebrew Israelites,...). Activism in this direction, by prominent African Americans in the entertainment industry is also well known. Unfortunately, these ideas have great appeal among African Americans and young people in general.
      In conclusion, we can say that black anti-Semitism is neither a product of our prejudices nor our imagination. Consequently, the surprise is justified when a young African American woman breaks out of this ideology of hate and resentment. By the way, this natural reaction also explains the popularity of this video.
      I think that it is not the recurring innocents questions of people that should bother us, but the activism of hate preachers.

    As an Israeli I want to thank you for taking time and speaking out.
    Unfortunately there is a very wide unti Israel campaign being well organized. The Universeties are being funded by countries like Katar (that funds Hamas), China and Russia.
    These campaigns deliberately present it as a color of skin and colonillism issue to get more support. It has nothing to do with the reality on the ground since most israeli jews are mizrahi jews from the middle east, and most Israelies are descendants of refugies,and have no where else to go, not like colonialists who have a mother country to go back to....

      Half of Jewish Israelis are mizrahi people who have always been in Israel and the middle east
      That leaves 40% of Israelis as Ashkenazi Jews , even they are between 60% to more then 80% Levantine genetically. imagine a group of European invaders swoop in and slap a new name on your homeland... only for a gang of Arab invaders to come along 2000 years later, hijack the name, and have the audacity to proclaim themselves as the true natives!?

      Southern Rhodesia=Zimbabwe
      Aelia Capitolina = Jerusalem
      Palestina = israel
      West Bank = Judea & Samaria
      The concept of Palestinianism is essentially thinly veiled anti-Semitism disguised as anti-colonialism. Palestinsim is just another Islamic colonialism. aspiration FACTS
      🟣1.Israel became a state in 1312 B.C.E., two millennia before Islam.
      🔵2.Arab and Muslim immigrants from different countries began calling themselves “Palestinians” in 1967, two decades after (modern) Israeli statehood in 1948.
      🟢3. 1Jews ruled Israel for more then a thousand years and maintained a continuous presence there for more then 3,300 years.
      🟡4. The only Arab rule (that don't bave connection to the so called Palestinenians of today) following conquest in 633 B.C.E. lasted just 22 years.
      🟠5.For more then 3,300 years, Jerusalem was the Jewish capital. It was *NEVER* the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even under Jordanian rule, (East) Jerusalem was not made the singular capital, and no Arab leader came to visit it.
      🔴6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the bible, but not once is it mentioned in the Muslim Qur’an.
      ✡7. King David founded Jerusalem; Mohammed never set foot in it.
      🛐8.Jews pray facing Jerusalem🕎; Muslims face Mecca☪️. If they are between the two cities, Muslims pray facing Mecca☪️, with their backs to Jerusalem✡.
      🟦9.In 1948, Arab leaders urged their people to leave, promising to cleanse the land of Jewish presence. 68% of them fled without ever setting eyes on an Israeli soldier.
      🟥10. Virtually the entire Jewish population in the Muslim countries had to flee as the result of violence and pogroms.
      🟧11. Some 630,000 Arabs left Israel in 1948, while close to a million Jews were forced to leave the Muslim countries.
      🟨12.In spite of the vast territories at their disposal, Arab refugees were deliberately prevented from assimilating into their original countries. Of 100 million refugees following World War 2, they are the only group tohave never integrated with their co-religionists. Most of the Jewish refugees from Europe and Arab lands were settled in Israel,a country no larger than New Jersey, USA.
      🟩13. There are 22 Arab Muslim countries, not counting Palestine. There is only one Jewish state.
      🔷️14. Fatah and Hamas constitutions still call for the destruction of Israel.
      Israel ceded most of the west bank and all of Gaza to the Palestinian authority, and even provided it with arms.
      🔶️15.During the illegal Jordanian occupation (1948-1967), Jewish holy sites in east Jerusalem were vandalized and were off limits to Jews. After the Six Day War of 1967, east Jerusalem under Israeli rule was open to all Muslim and Christians & the holy sites of all the religions was accessible to all faiths.
      🟣16. The Jordanians renamed Judea and Samaria, the Biblical heartland of Israel into its new name *West Bank* which is the English translation of the Arabic word *AD-ḌIFFAH L-ĠARBIYYAH* which the Jordanians used to demarcate lands (Judea & Samaria) that were on the West side of the Jordan River or West of the Kingdom of Jordan.
      ✴17.The Muslims used the U.N. to erase all mention of the Biblical name Judea and Samaria & adopted the new name West Bank which is used widely in the world today.
      🔻18. Out of 175 United Nations Security Council resolutions up to1990, more than 50% or 97 resolutions were against Israel; out of 690 UN General Assembly Resolutions, 429 Resolutions or more than 50% of all the UN General Assembly Resolutions condemned Israel alone out of all the 190+ member countries in the UN (Not counting UN condemnation against Israel in other bias UN Agencies).
      ⚠️️19. The U.N. was silent when the Jordanians destroyed 58 synagogues in the old city of Jerusalem between 1948 & 1967. It remained silent while Jordan systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, and it remained silent when Jordan enforced apartheid laws preventing Jews from accessing the Temple Mount and the Western Wall .
      💠20. In December, 2018, the United States ambassador to the U.N. @Nikki Haley condemned the U.N. for condemning Israel over 700 times and not one single U.N. Resolution condemning Hamas by name, not even once.
      🟣️⚔🔴️21. Arabs started all five major wars against Israel, and lost

    Of course big number of Jews moved after the holocaust.

      The IDF was founded first and foremost as a *defence* force (literally the Israeli Defence Forces) and not as a resistance force. The Israeli paradigm of national security has always been to be able to defend the Israeli citizens, and not to conquer, gain control, or expand unnecessarily. It's a shame that so much of the world doesn't understand these days that we Israelis are really a people that sets its intentions always on peace and affirming life. All we ever did and still do is in the mindset of defence.

Only one of many bad decisions they made. That's what happens when you base your national identity solely on the elimination of your neighbor. It will get you many wars and nakbahs. We're waiting.

    And one sad, but maybe important "anecdote " - when this war just started I was called to the reserves. I'm not a combatant, I gave aid in an israeli hospital. One of our duties was to receive injured soldiers who were transported from Gaza by helicopters. One day a severely injured soldier arrived. I couldn't even look while we took him out of the helicopter, I got all the details from my friends. Less than 48 hrs later I saw on the news that he had died. He was one of the firsts to fall in Gaza. He was a black ethiopian jew, and I will never forget his name.

      Really, no Jews are "white," unless they are interracial with white people. Jews have never been considered "white" in their entire history until right now, when people want to use that to make Jews the bad guys, because they want to frame this situation as white people vs brown people.
      Which in itself is pretty awful: just because people are white, that doesn't make them bad, and just because people are another race, that doesn't make them good. It's this weird thing where these people are extending their guilt about their white culture's history/colonialism (U.S., English, French, etc.) and trying to extend that to other peoples. Jews were not colonizers and aren't now either, and Arabs WERE colonizers and still are (taking over places in Africa).
      Jews have often faced persecution for being considered an outside race. Even in the U.S. when there was segregation against black people, many places would also have signs saying no Jews allowed as well. My mother pointed out to me the places in our area that used to not allow blacks and Jews, when she was a kid.

Second, some people might be treated accordingly if they pose a threat to citizens of Israel (Jews and Arabs alike), and they happen to be Muslim. Because those criminals and terrorists hold radical beliefs it cannot be called islamophobia and definitely not racial segregation. There are so many Muslims who peacefully coexist with Jews and other non-Muslims in Israel, with equal rights. Besides, how can there be a phobia from a religion/ideology?!

      It's not a misery contest. The Palestinians all support Hamas, support what they did on October 7th, and are openly calling for the genocide of Jews.

I learned about so many tragic stories and brave chief like Chief Joseph, Sitting Bulls, and it built in me (I think all of us) a strong connection which never faded, in my trips throughout America I always made it a point to visit these sites such as Wounded Knee Massacre site in SD where they killed Sitting Bull and so many other Lakota, it reminded me how my people have been persecuted for thousands of years just for wanting to live our way of life, and even today all across the world and in our homeland where I have returned, we are hated. - btw fun fact - when I would tell my mom that this teacher was showing us these movies about Native Americans, well my dad would say we should be learning our studies but my mom would say she sees the native Americans as our brothers and sisters because of our shared experiences her heart really went out to them.

    Thank u for standing with us ❤ - a few small notes : first, modern Zionism and jewish return to the land of Israel started in the 19th century, and not after the Holocaust, and there were always jews living here including in gaza and a majority jewish population in jerusalem. Secondly, palestinian violence started long before 1948 - for example the horrific 1929 palestinian riots which were very similar to the 7th of October massacre. Thirdly, most jews in israel are not of european descent but middle eastern and african including Ethiopian jews.

      The old community of Jews that used to live in Gaza perished in Islamist riots of 1929, concurrent with dozens of other communities, the massacre in Hebron was documented, you can see the photos of that ISIS style massacre in archives of the NYT. Photos like the gut churning photos of the massacre of Oct. 7 only in black and white.
      *In 1929 the massacres were committed mostly by mobs.
      1929 is
      19 years before the reinstitution of Israel,
      38 years before Israel got into Gaza strip,
      37 years before the process of appropriating the title Palestinians by Arabs has even started.

      Let's as usual take everything out of context and just say poor Jews came here and Arabs were just ANTISEMETICS!!!! AND attack them for no reason
      Now let's be clear
      FIRST the Arabs actually let Jews in and teach them agriculture in 1919
      Jews started to treat Arabs as slaves and that's why this started!!!
      Arabs revolted...And that was bad
      Again your entire Ideas are contradicting Teodor Herzel and their texts and stop being stupid

    So nice to see and hear a young person who did her research and discovered the truth. Kudos to her. Wish there were more people like her around.

    The question "How can you as a black woman, support Isreal?" is intrinsically racist.
    It stands alongside Biden's "If you don't vote Democrat, then you're not Black".

      No, no it certainly is not racist. I'm a black woman and I say the same thing. It's absurd to support an apartheid, which Israel is, and be black, especially if you grew up in a country that is notorious for racism, slavery, Jim Crow, and a whole civil rights movement. A country where you are still victim to systemic racism. She knows better than the nonsense she's saying if she's done 30 minutes of research on the history of Israel and Palestine. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who is wrong here. Not to mention Israelis keep acting a fool on social media and showing us that the history that's well documented is true. Settlers stealing Palestinians land, the day to day abuse and degradation, starvation diets, being trapped in a concentration camp...etc...it's all there for the whole world to see, and WE DO SEE. And we will never unsee it either.

    Thank you for this video. It is a very similar experience my daughter went through in her school as a Latina. She came home one day telling me exactly how you started out as a social warrior (and I also considered one myself) but after October 7 we had discussions about it, did tons of research and came to the same conclusions you did. Thanks again, it’s refreshing not being the only ones.
