      @carlyl2032 9 лет назад

      ***** I understand and respect your opinion. I have friends both religious and atheist.
      The point of being agnostic (how I interpret it) is that I think there is something out there. Being G-d, multiple gods and goddess, spirits, aliens, flying spaghetti monster or maybe even concepts we ourselves don't understand. I just called it G-d to make it easier in my head.
      It in a sense is like believing in a higher power without guidelines to a certain religion. All you have is your believe and hope someine is out there. However some other agnostics do indeed have the "we can never know" theory.

    • @KnuxTube
      @KnuxTube 9 лет назад

      ***** In the most basic sense, an Agnostic believes there _could_ be a God but they generally do not believe in any specific religion's view of God.

    • @KnuxTube
      @KnuxTube 9 лет назад

      ***** No, an Agnostic is someone who simply doesn't know. They don't claim to know. They just accept the possibility there might be something out there or that maybe a religion is true. They're open to the idea. Atheists on the other hand are closed to the idea and 100% believe there is nothing out there and all religions are false.

  • @1q1q1q981
    @1q1q1q981 10 лет назад +49

    I think Israel offers the most out of all of them, hands down. There is a difference between Israeli Arabs and 'Palestinians'. The Israeli Arabs have passport and citizenship thus granting them all the freedoms they could ask for. 20% of Israelis are Arabs apparently. But the Palestinians (who refused citizenship) only have travel documents which can be restrictive in any country you happen to reside in.

    • @OhMaDayzz
      @OhMaDayzz 10 лет назад +7

      Israel offers nothing to them, and Palestinians don't 'refuse' citizenship. They are not entitled to citzenship. They are forced to live within the forever expanding borders of the Jewish state but lack all of the basic rights granted to Jewish citizens. This is where the apartheid label came about.

    • @1q1q1q981
      @1q1q1q981 10 лет назад +18

      they do offer a democratic multi cultural society where they are free to practice their religion and have all rights and privelages of citizenship. Palestinians are a different category. They refused citizenship because it meant accepting Israel in their eyes. Israel is not an apartheid state. Israeli Arabs have the same legal rights as other Israeli citizens. Don't generalise all Arabs.

    • @1q1q1q981
      @1q1q1q981 10 лет назад +13

      OhMaDayzz have you lived in Israel or Gaza before? Or visited? Im curious to where you are getting this from? Is it a website that you saw this apartheid idea? Palestinians do not have the same rights as Israelis because they are not Israeli citizens. Israeli Arabs have the same rights as other Israelis. Its like saying Mexicans want the same rights in the united states because Cali was once part of their country. I know its rough for the Palestinians though. but whats the solution?

    Egypt? Christians in Egypt have their churches burned to the ground, conversion is practically impossible. Teaching Coptic is suppressed heavily by the government, etc. If you're not a Muslim, then living in Egypt is extremely difficult, and Arab =/= Muslim.
    Jordan or Israel. Or Morocco if you include North Africa.

    • @olterigo
      @olterigo 10 лет назад +5

      The Palestinians are nowadays mostly Muslims, so they are not too concerned about the rights of the non-Muslim minorities.

    • @ForeverRepublic
      @ForeverRepublic 10 лет назад +5

      ***** That's the thing. That's why I believe Israel is one of the best places for an Arab to live, on the basis that Israel doesn't favor Muslim Arabs over non-Muslim Arabs. Druze, Muslims, Christians, Bedouins, Mizrahim, etc. All are equal under the basic laws.

      @ForeverRepublic 10 лет назад +1

      Egyptian Pharaoh I don't care if Coptics hate Israel. I disagree. But that's there right nonetheless.
      I've only met several Coptics, so I won't over step my knowledge of the subject. But as far as I know, the bad blood still exist. Two years is just a sliver of time. Building churches and conversion requires approval from the government and there is still violence between the two, etc. But I won't get into it with you. You're Egyptian, and I've never visited the country and seen the relations for my self.
      When was the last time Israel bombed Egypt? Israel has had peace with Egypt for over 30 years. What do you mean "Israel bombs the shit out of them" what?

I don´t think he would feel the need to do the same for the other side. I like watching those interviews but they are not very balanced. Probably because the interviewer has a lot of personal emotions invested in this. I think it would be better if a Muslim Arab would interview the arab side. The arabs would probably be a lot less wary of him.

It's easy to say that a Desi person doesn't have any freedoms in the UAE, and you are right to a certain extent. There are also many wealthy individuals of Desi origin in Dubai, am I right? Do you think all the fast food companies, clothing stores, and any other menial job in the USA, whether it is employing blacks or any other race, also doesn't enslave their employees? Granted not as bad as the situation outside the Western world, but working three part time jobs, and being told by your manager that "Obama is making me pay for your health insurance, so you can blame him for no extra hours, or over time" and having that held over your head is also a form of 21st century slavery. And let me not start with the Mexicans in the USA. 5 dollars an hour, 70 hours a week!

But i can move up the ladder just like my parents uncle did when he first came here at least we have the chance to get out of shity situations and poverty that why we came here.However those guys in Dubai working building the city they dont have a chance and are lied to a loured to come to Dubai and are kept in huts with rats and no running water. the diffidence is if that was found in America there would be legal action to protect them and prosecute the employers. However in the gulf states not only is the abuse of "workers" open and well know nobody cares.

    There is no freedom in any Arab country. Arab land are divided into 21 countries. And each part controlled by a dictator. Lebanon more liberal society.

And I think asking the Arabs about the meaning of freedom is superfluous. Because we do not know what the meaning of this word. We've been tamed since we were children, to glorify the eternal leader.

      they can feel free to do whatever they want. i have arab friends from work, they told me they will never move to anywhere else in the middle east, they're living really good, have big houses, they have a car of their own, even i don't have.

    These videos are really interesting. :)
    This one made me wonder about the whole freedom thing though. Would the Arabs *want* more freedom or do they see Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan etc. as *too* free and not following Islam strictly enough?
    We often have a very simplified view of freedom I think. "Freedom = Good" seems to be the general idea in the west, but only up to a certain degree. I first noticed the different views while talking about gun laws with an American. I'm from Denmark and basically no one has a gun here at all. So the American said that the USA was more free than Denmark, and I realized that there was a freedom I didn't want at all. Ever. The freedom to own guns.
    That got me thinking and every law that makes something illegal is basically removing a freedom, and still we see most of those things as good things to make illegal. Making murder illegal means removing a freedom to commit murder for example. Is that a freedom we want in the west? I don't think so.
    So that's why I wonder about the Arabs' views on freedom. Would they generally want "our" freedoms? Do they see a value in them at all?

    • @oremfrien
      @oremfrien 10 лет назад +1

      Gnawer Shreth I wanted to respond to your question of whether Arabs want Western freedoms. First, I should be clear that I am Assyrian, so I am not actually Arab, but I may have a better insight on this. It's the same way that you are not Norwegian, but you would probably have a good idea about how Norwegians feel about politics and probably a much better one than I would.
      The first thing we need to do is separate purely political freedoms from social freedoms. What I mean by this is that there are some freedoms like the right to vote, the right to protest, the right to be free from random property seizures, etc. which are rights that concern how the government interacts with the citizens and what abilities the citizens have to challenge the government. These are political freedoms. Then there are things like, women's rights (dating, marriage, divorce, prostitution), blasphemy rights (insensitive or intolerant speech directed at Islam - note even though not all Arabs are Muslim, Arab Christians do not really care about this), freedoms concerning dress, drug access etc. These are about how the citizens behave together in society and interact with each other. These are social freedoms.
      As concerns political freedoms, there is really no debate in the Arab World about this. Most Arabs want the right to vote, want the right to protest, want property protections, want fair and equitable trials, etc. Only really hardcore Islamists oppose the right to vote because they hold that the Sharia is not up for democratic scrutiny or approval, but this is a minority. The only thing I would note here is that Arabs generally do not support counter-majoritarianism, which is crucial in most liberal democracies. This is the idea that the rights of the minority supersede the desires/will of the majority. Arabs are generally of the opinion that if you are the majority, you get to dictate terms to the losers. (This is a particular problem that my people have been on the receiving end of for quite a few centuries.)
      As concerns social freedoms, it becomes a lot murkier. There are a number of different things operating in tandem when we talk about social freedoms. Probably the most important to note at the outset is the concept of family honor (which we Assyrians unfortunately also have). In the West, a person is responsible for his own choices. For example, if your sister chooses to become a prostitute, any negativity or shame that may be associated with that choice falls squarely on her. Nobody will treat you, your parents, or your family any worse because of your sister's actions, even if they her worse. She is seen to be her own person with her own choices. The Arab World does not function this way; each person is a representative of the family. If we take the prostitution example, my parents would lose face in the community if my hypothetical sister became a prostitute. Her decision would be seen as reflective of their failure to properly raise her as a child. I would lose face as well (if I still seriously went to Church) because I did not do the brotherly thing and prevent her from humiliating herself. As a result, parents implore and guilt-trip their children into preserving the family honor, which has profound implications on desiring social freedoms.
      Many in the younger generation (30 and under) want increased social freedoms, even though their elders would refuse. They do not want things like prostitution, but, for example, many girls want the right to openly date a boyfriend, many boys would like to have increased freedoms to pursue "Non-Islamic" interests - like music or sports - instead of being expected to be molded into the next patriarch of the family. However, if they openly advocated for these types of views, contrary to their parents' will and contrary to current societal norms, they would dishonor the family. Therefore, much of this goes on underground or only comes to light in countries where secret ballots can actually be cast. The countries that actually have more social freedoms (like Tunisia and Morocco) can get away with it by blatantly get away with it by claiming that they are less Arab. (In Tunisia, they usually refer to "Non-Islamic" things they do as "à la tunisienne". Lebanon also has more social freedoms since the country was founded by Maronite Christians and Christians still make up >40% of the population, providing an excuse for all of the socially dishonorable activities.
      On the flip side we also have a rising number of people (but still a relative minority) in the younger generation who see Islamism and Jihadism as the only ways to achieve a long term solution from the Imperialist Humiliation and are actively becoming more conservative than their parents' generation. This has the effect of enforcing the honor shaming of those who do want to pursue more social freedoms. In fact, it has become much more culturally toxic to push for increased social freedoms in the Arab World ever since the 1970s when a number of regimes began to cater to Islamism and Jihadism, promoting their popularity and setting a new standard for honorable/shameful behavior.
      Sorry. I was a little long-winded, but I hope it helps answer the question.

      There is more freedom in these countries. Women can dress like they want without stirring too much shit. You can drink and smoke. I know Egyptians and Lebanese youngsters who mind their own business, have girlfriends/boyfriends. It's a much more tolerant society in those countries. They are crazies over there too, but in villages or conservative neighborhoods. Egypt ousted the Brotherhood like 2 years ago.

    Most of them said Lebanon and it really is (y)
    some people have difficulties distinguishing between freedom and religious diversity, which is a richness.. Lebanon is the most free country because all religions can be practised so freely, especially Christianity, where Christians in Lebanon have high roles in the state, even Armenians who are a minority, they take part in the state..
    everywhere, people are divided as Shia and Sunni, not only in Lebanon (as the dum guy before the last indicated)
    Lebanon is even the most free economically, culturally, and socially.

    1967 was a watershed moment in the relationship between Pahlavi Iran and the State of Israel. The Six Day War, during which Israel invaded its neighboring countries and occupied the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights, transformed Israel into a colonial power in the eyes of Iranian intellectual elites. After the war, many of the Soviet Bloc countries severed their relations with Israel, and so did their satellite parties, including the Iranian Tudeh.
    Jalal Al-e Ahmad wrote the last chapter of this travelogue in 1968, faithfully reflecting the transformation of Iranian attitudes towards Israel. In this chapter, he describes Israel as a part of a Western capitalist scheme in the region, explaining that the reactionary Arab regimes played into the hands of Israel .
    Along with the elite opinion, Iranian popular perceptions of Israel also changed dramatically after 1967. A clear popular expression of this came about in 1968. That year, the Israeli and Iranian national football teams played against each other in Tehran as part of Asia Cup finals. Habib Elghanayan, a wealthy Jew and a community leader, purchased a large number of tickets for this game for Iranian Jews to attend and cheer for the Israeli team. This game, however, became a site where Iranian fans vehemently showed their discontent with Israel’s policy. The Israeli team and their supporters fell victims to brutal incitement and had to be escorted out of the stadium by the police. This incident reflected a sea change in the Iranians’ attitudes toward Israel. A one-time favorable partner now became an unwanted foreigner, protected only by the grace of the Shah’s iron fist.
    Beginning in the 1970s, the Shah attempted to find new alliances in the Middle East and beyond. Iran’s relations with the Soviet Union and some of the Arab countries were revisited. A peace agreement with Iraq and the American election of President Carter in 1976, with the subsequent harsh criticisms that Carter voiced against the human rights conditions in Iran, led the Shah to develop a more negative view of the State of Israel. By the late 1970s, a revolution toppled the Pahlavi Shah, and the new regime demonstrated the Iranian public’s feelings towards the State of Israel with vocal anti-Zionism, kicking the Israeli diplomatic mission out and developing strong ties to the Palestinian resistance. Thus, contrary to the american and zionist propaganda, Iran - Israel relations went sour in 1967 and not in 1979 as the zionist propaganda claims.
