Want to know what Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East really think about the conflict? Ask a question and I will get answers.
Okay I found a solution that would satisfy both people: Hummus anthem, hummus flag, national day of hummus...
That's not a good idea I don't get poisoned
Hummus is arab tho
@David Guez this guy made a resulation and you guys still fight ur fighting over fuckin humus israelis and palestinians are gonna keep fighting till the day they die.
Hummus is Lebanese
@David Guez sionist. Pig
The first guy has just had the best joint in his life right before he was interviewed
I don't think he knows good English
@@dhammupandit3582 I mean, the interviewer asks him a question and then proceeds to say he doesn’t care...
Lol im from israel and the first guy is so funny lol
@@Sammygrav the "I don't care" stuff was a part of an example.
Basically I love this attitude, no matter who says it, but with Muslims I always have to doubt their honesty. It seems to me that Mr. Muhammed is thinking very carefully about how the text was again.
The last one is epic... that cool man is the evidence that peace between the Arab and Israeli is something achievable
I've watched a few of his videos. Arab Christians seem to tolerate Israel fairly well.
But he's obviously from abroad, hence more tolerant.
that last guy is clever!! I'm also from haifa (and am jewish) and our city is known as a city of coexistence, this is the city with the biggest variety of religions- christians, muslims, jews, druze, etc.
Noga Itach
From the entire Israel, there are only two places that I like the most: Haifa, including this small Christian village, and Jaffa, the small town next to Tel Aviv.
TLV is OK, but I am form London and married to a New Yorker. So TLV doesn’t attract me.
I want to like Jerusalem ...... But I can’t. It’s like in the Middle Ages up there. 🙀🙀🙀

It's quite multicultural indeed. I've been there twice and it's just interesting to see so many different people. And I must agree that the last person was the most kind one out of all. אני אוהב חיפה ^^
it is not about the religion,it is about a land that was taken by force by different people ,and this city of coexistence is not yours,its people were forced out to lebanon,syria,and to west bank,no matter what religion they had,they are the palestenians ,the native people
It is perfectly OK for all arab states to be Muslim, but alla fobid, there can not be one democratic Jewish state.
what does it mean that they are muslim? are christians and even jews discriminated somehow?
and there are even a state with a christian majority, lebanon.

But the jews were not a majority, right!? The country was mostly muslim.

We Jews who fled Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Sudan cannot return. So the guy who complains about the Palestinian Naqba has a nerve to complain they cannot return. I can't even get my Birth Certificate authenticated by Egypt because I am a Jew.
You never asked to return, the Ashkenazim imported you as cheap labor and to colonize our villages and cities. You left after we were expelled.
You are victims of Zionism and your European fellow citizens!
Semsem Eini what does this have to do with the people of Palestine? Are they Egyptians? and since you know what it's like the be forced to leave your home forever shouldn't you understand their perspective?

@@odaenathus7825 "chose to leave"
We can say the same thing about palastinans
it's interesting that those who don't accept it or say there have to be changes mostly can't name one single thing that has to change - even if they say "everything have to change", can't say what have to change. That shows quite obvious that in reality things are pretty fine (not perfect of course - no society or state is perfect...) and it's more at a subconscious level; and that is something you can not change with ANY action - in can only change by long periods of time, 2 or 3 generations later may be it's gone...
Yes mostly who identify as arab Palestinians tends to find more problems in Israel than bedouin or arab

Your ability to lead the interview into profound thinking and allow/encourage the people to articulate what is in them was refreshing, in that it surprised even them.
It's impossible to show someone how much you care, until you show you care for who you are talking to.
Of course. His role as the interviewer is to extract information. If he doesn't have to extract information, he doesn't have to act in that role.

I don't agree sometimes it's just simple manipulation. "Jewish state means the culture of the state is culturally Jewish". That's not true. Jewish state means if a citizen is Arab and Muslim his family can't immigrate from Jordan though they have roots there, whereas a Jewish citizen of Israel can welcome his distant family from New York and the state will extend them citizenship. The more he talks during the interview, the more propagandized and leading it becomes.
@@EvanCarrollTheGreat
There is much more history behind what you bring up as your objection. This is not that conversation.
There are certainly good reasons for the way things are in Israel. Some Muslim people are friends; and many more (especially, outside the land) are not!
Doesn't matter who are friends and who are not friends. It matters that there are objectively three sets of laws, one for Jews, one for non-Jews that have been offered citizenship contingent to them accepting second class citizenship, and one for non-citizens which fled when fascist militias pushed for recognition (occupied people). @@freeto9139

Educated Arab Israelis and Palestinians mostly speak English better than the Jew Israelis, because they want to keep the Heritage from the British Mandate.
No, he didn’t speak with American accent. It’s more like Trans Atlantic accent.
It's a Jewish state, how hard is it for these people to understand? They have all the rights, they live a peaceful and prosperous lifes compared to ANY Arab country. Israel is Israel.
In israel they can complain. In any other middleastern country , the moukhabarat will pick them up for a quick chat that will include electrodes and broomsticks being inserted. But in israel they have freedom of speech. And thats good.

There is Palestinian people so there is Palestine

Ask them if Israel changed to a country with a separation of church and state, would they accept that all Muslim countries be converted too in exchange.
@@monocle8868 great lie
What do other Muslim majority countries have to do with this country(Israel)? This is what I can never understand. Many supporters of Israel argue that they don’t understand why Muslims and Christians want to be acknowledged. The argument is that this is the only Jewish state and there are many other Muslim and Christian countries and the Jewish people only have 1. But what I can’t understand for the life of me what one has to do with the other. That’s like asking Egypt to become a Jewish/Muslim state would Israel then convert to a Jewish/Muslim state? No right? Cause what does Egypt have to do with Israel? Same goes for any other Muslim majority country...what is the connection with Israel? Nothing. But the reason they want to be acknowledged is for one -they were there before the Jews migrated. Yes a war was won and now the Jewish people are a majority. I get that. so why can’t it just be a country. Why does it have to be a “Jewish country” Judaism is just a religion. Just like Islam and Christianity and Hinduism and Buddhism and all the hundreds of religions of the world. Countries have names not religions.
@@razannassar So what happened to the Jewish population of all of those Arab counties you mention? 850,000 of them. They were all forced out after 1947? Where did they go? Where could they go? Who would take them in? Israel.
And where did the majority of Arabs who live in Israel and the territories come from? In the last 25 years before the partition the Arab population doubled. That’s immigration baby.
In the 19th century Jews were the majority in Jerusalem and a minority elsewhere in the land.
Arabs and Jews are native to the land. Arabs and Jews are immigrants to the land. The partition gave less than half to the Jews and none of the historically important areas of the Jewish people was given to the Jews. Half of the land was given to the Arabs including East Jerusalem where all the Jewish holy sites are. But the Jews accepted and the Arabs didn’t and they went to war to take it away. 5 giant Arab countries against one tiny Jewish one. Had the Arabs won the Jews would be dead. We won, you lost, get over it. Make peace, have your country and leave the Jews in peace.
@@monocle8868

@@monocle8868 "Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria never took other people’s land to begin with" Jordan took not only land from the British Mandate, that the British gave away with acceptance of the Jews to create a state, but also from the Palestinians living there. In Lebanon it isn't dissimilar, Lebanon in fact did try to take over Israeli land together with Jordan and Syria to destroy Israel. Like that in Syria the state took over Kurdish regions, too, but also over Druze ones and Jewish areas, too (including taking away of property).
It's OK for Britain to be a Church of England State.
Hah! That's a good one!
Its a secular country tho where half the population are atheist
@@MRGUSTAVOCHICKENFRING England has an official religion. The Queen is the head of it.
@@screamtoasigh9984 i know that. Its still a secular country, that is largely irreligious,it also has a queen, still democratic.
@@MRGUSTAVOCHICKENFRING Democratic is unfortunately increasingly flexible in the West. Tommy Robinson was locked up for reporting on a trial, the police are investigating Twitter posts for "misgendering" and they even arrested a woman for it. How democratic is that?
When there was Czechoslovakia, our anthem consisted of two parts: czech anthem in czech language and then slovak anthem in slovak language. After splitting, each part kept it's own part of the anthem.
I really think that in cases like these they should go with a musical anthem or a hummed anthem.
It's like the idea of putting all religious symbols on the flag. Just don't put any.
As an Israeli I don't think there's room to compare Czechoslovakia. I see little to no bad blood between the two countries aside from them being forced to be one entity when they were obviously split between 2. Israel and Palestine is so much messier and bloodier, and breaking off of Gaza changed nothing.
Exactly what I thought when I heard that question. The only issue might be which would come first. The Czech part was always played before the Slovak part, not sure if the Slovaks were ok with that
In Canada, we have a French and English version (the original was actually in French) and we mix them up depending on the occasion.
@@nitzan3782 As an Indian Tamil, I think it is the fact that both the Czechs and the Slovaks had their own anthems that made even the split bloodless. Not to mention that the split was initiated by the dominating ie Czech side on a economical reason and the languages are almost dialects of each other in a way.
Sri Lanka on the other hand tried to impose Sinhalese on the minority Tamils, stripped the Tamils out of government jobs etc after the British left and the result was a 30 year civil war. It is still not healed though one of the newer attempts is autonomy to both sides as well as the national anthem being sung in both languages. The Indian anthem on the other hand is in a language which no modern Indian speaks and hence no one feels favoured or left out. While people from my region do feel angry at the frequent attempt to impose Hindi as the national language, as of today, it is not and hence I feel equal as an Indian from any other region.
IMO, Israel should think of a form of the Czechoslovak or Indian way. Else, the current system will fall as soon as the US looses interest in the region. Considering that there are enough Jews now in Israel, and that there is no longer an existential crisis for Jews in the world, it would make sense to only allow Jews who feel discriminated to immigrate to Israel and not everyone who is a Jew. Currently, it does not seem much different from Australian "white only" immigration policies which were till the 70s. As of now, it seems that Arab Israelis have to apologise to their Palestinian counterparts for having a "privilege". If Arab Israelis have to be ashamed of their identity, it won't last long.

I would just like to point out that the idea of a Jewish state only seems to pose a problem to Israeli Arab Muslims. When it comes to Christians, they seem not only to be pretty much ok with the idea but also to enjoy it (as much as can be).
Second thing, when you ask people to elaborate on their opposition, they seem incapable of doing so showing their only problem lies in the Jewish description of the state they live in.
Yet, in predominantly Jewish areas of this state:
- Your pack of cigarettes has arabic scriptures on it
- Your every day bus is displaying stations in Arabic
- Your traffic signs are in Arabic as well
- Your food packagings are in Arabic
- You could perfectly live in them and be an Arab Muslim who doesn't speak a word of Hebrew (would be hard to find a job but still)
Israel has an Arab population of 20% and that is counting Arabs that are not muslim.
Some European countries have now more than this and:
- I don't see any of this states changing their traffic signs and including Arabic as their national language
- I don't see any of them reflecting upon changing their national anthem
- I don't see any of the Arabs living there asking for a bi-national state (yet)
Apparently, the attachment of Arab Muslims to secular values only seems to be a force to reckon with in states where they are in minority
The guy saying that the Thora invented racism really made me laugh
1 - the Thora doesn't speak of gentiles, the talmud does and those are 2 different things
Kind of like the Coran and the Sunna
2 - the Coran on the other sides repetitively refers to Jews in terms that are far from respectful (Muslims in every day prayers thank their God for not being Jewish or Christians)
Israel is a Jewish State, like it, don't like it... The very point of it's existence is to say that we don't care about your opinion, and it is not a statement of content but more or less the reason why we're still alive and thriving.
I have no problem with Arab Muslims in this country, they're more than welcome to stay, thrive and participate in the evolution and the well being of this state - it is just as much their country as it is any Jew's
On the other hand, the guy who complaind about the "discrimination" of the law of return didn't really look like he had a problem with not being drafted for a 3 years national service.....
There's 2 sides to everything...
I'm not here to say Israel is perfect in its management of communities, but, considering the state of the Region it lives in and even more the State of Europe today....
I'd say it's doing a pretty good job at at least trying
Let's ask Ethiopian jews their opinion.
Muslims in the EU are 1.8% of the population and come from many countries. They do not speak one language and apart from some suburbs in big cities they do not form a majority anywhere else. In countries like Albania or Kosovo where Muslims are the majority, they are from the same ethnic group with non-muslims so their language is the state language. In Russia Muslims have their own republics actually, where their language is co-official along with Russian and learnt at schools. No country in Europe has similarities with the history and the complexity of the population changes and movements in Israel/Palestine of the 20th century, so your argument about European countries is completely irrelevant.
biggest crap what you just said. They only interviewed one christian not the whole christian population. You’re such an idiot.

@@deans5086 Bullshit. What about their relatives, can they bring in their relatives? No!!! But a Lithuanian Jew can show up tomorrow with all his extended family and become a citizen. Meanwhile, Palestinians who fled it in 1948, languish in neighbouring countries. That's the one thing that make Israel really abnormal. Not the weird establishment of it as a home for a certain ethnicity, as to it credit it included those who lived in the land as citizens. But the return laws are just nonsensical today. Of Israel admitted any oppressed Jewish groups as refugees and made them citizens, that will make more sense than giving a wealthy jew American citizenship on demand, just because he's a jew.
••• I don't care about calling it Jewish or bullshit. I don't care. A country like Syria call it self "Syrian Arab Republic", but it's Arabic culturally while different ethnicities live in it. No specific laws to naturalized specific ethnicity. I hope you got my point. It's known that Israel operates as Jewish state since day one. It doesn't make a difference to officially call it as such.

There are 50 other Muslim countries... Israel is the one Jewish country. It is the Jewish homeland for a reason. They are obviously welcome culturally and societally but do not have to be represented everywhere...
The guy at 11:20 messed up the meaning of “Jewish and democratic”, misunderstood what we study at school.
This means not that at the SAME TIME it’s both,but it’s first Jewish and then democratic.
That’s the whole point man…
Even with the "Jewishness" engrained in the Israeli state, it's still the most democratic in the region.
The fact that it allows citizenship to people other than Jews is way ahead of its Arab peers. Try that in any of the Gulf states. They don't even allow Muslim Pakistanis to become citizens because they're not Arab. Well, none of the Arab states are really democratic, except Egypt, which is really a dictatorship now.
Half of the population of Israel came from Arab and Muslim countries. Egypt has over 10 million Christians, and Syria still has 1-2 million Christians. Morocco still has a sizable community of Jews.
@@hansfrankfurter2903 so what's your point?
The gulf Arab states don't give the nationality even to other Arab muslims not just to Pakistanis simply because they don't have an immigration law. However, citizens in those countries are equally represented. Israel, on the other hand, represents only Jews, whether they're Jews that originally immigrated from Arab or European countries.
Bruh the Arabs had been there before any of the Jews had migrated to Palestine, so they are de-facto natives while Pakistani expats have no connection to the gulf states do you see the difference? Did these Pakistanis inhabit the gulf states before formation no? did the Arabs inhabit Palestine before zionsit incursion? yes?

The person who submitted the question had Corey ask about their opinions on the Jewish identity of Israel, not whether they recognize Israel's legitimacy. Comparing it to the US is a bad analogy because we do not have a Basic Law which defines as white or Christian state - even though most Americans are both - (and yes, I know the law in Israel is mostly symbolic), and our national anthem is not specifically religious or in favor of a specific ethnic group.

My observation from this video and the other videos from this Channel that the christians in Israel / Palestine are quite different from the muslims. It is so ovious that the faith plays vital role in the way you think!
There are many Christians who are against colonialism,by the way George Nicola Habash was Christian and he was one of the founder of the popular front for the liberation of Palastine.
I mean yeah? So what? What is the arguement.
I'm trying to make a parallel with Brazil. We have a vast majority of Christians here (80%+), national holidays are mostly Christian holidays, we have for decades the inscription "God be praised" in our currency and a crucifix hangs on the walls of the Parliament. As a non-christian, these don't really impact my life negatively. In fact, gradually some events that originally had religious origin such as the Carnival or the June Festivities start being assimilated and transformed into national folklore. The real danger is when religion (or any type of identity) starts to drive the actions of people in power. During the presidential run, our president Bolsonaro had "Brazil above all, God above everyone" as a slogan, he ranted against the minorities, threatened leftists and now intends to put an "extremely Christian" judge in the Supreme Court. That's alarming. That's what IMO really hurts secular democracy.
I'm sure that the situation in Israel is far more complex than ours. I really enjoyed how Omar (09:32) developed his ideas on the matter. It must be difficult for an Arab Israeli to feel represented there. I understand that it must be similar to what I felt while living in the UK for a year: I knew I was an "outsider", I didn't understand or feel included in all the cultural aspects. The difference is that an Arab Israeli also sees that land as their home, so it would be close to feeling like a foreigner at home. Thanks for the video, Corey :)
What no one ever mentions is that democracy evolved WITHIN a nationalistic framework, based on the assumption that society was unified by a clear common culture, including language, moral principles, and often a religious or ethnic heritage. Democracy DOES NOT entail a lack of identity, but relates to a system of representative government that allows for leadership changes. Even democracies that appear to be based on diversity (such as India and the US) have in reality always had a dominant culture that forms both the majority and determines the character of the state. Democracy guarantees INDIVIDUAL rights and freedoms, and in some cases also limited collective rights, but not political self-determination.
A truly democratic Arab state, side by side with Israel (as was envisioned in countless resolutions and proposals from the League of Nations and the UN to NGOs and political parties) would theoretically maintain its Arab identity, even if it had a non-Arab minority. In such a reality, when BOTH peoples accept each other's right to their respective countries, there can be true peace, which turns the issue of the state's character into a non-issue. France and Germany, whose peoples had been at war with each other for centuries, came to an agreement regarding their borders, and have since allowed each other's citizens to live and work within their territories. If the Arab world were at peace with Israel (truly, not just on paper), what would it matter that there is an Arab minority in the state of the Jews? Moreover, what would it matter if there are Jews living in an Arab country?
Jews came to understand that they need a cultural and political homeland to protect them, as have many other peoples, particularly in Europe. The question is when the Arabs (both the public and their leadership) will come to the same realization.
You use the word "Arab" as if it were equivalent to "Muslim." Apart from the only real Arabs -- the ones who live in the peninsula called "Arabia" (the clue is in the name!) - most so-called "Arabs" are united only by speaking a dialect of the Arab language. Their ancestors were a diverse collection of ethnic groups who (prior to the influx of Islam) spoke various Semitic languages such as Egyptian, Aramaic, Assyrian, etc. To this day, there are millions of Arabic speakers who are not Muslims but Christians, mainly in Egypt and the Lebanon.
@@DieFlabbergast I am well aware that not all Arabs are Muslim, and that many Arabs of today are descended from other peoples. Note that in the context of Israel (and much of history) the word "Jew" is not simply a religious indicator, but also a marker of ethnicity or nationality. Arabs today, including Muslims and Christians, are called Arabs not necessarily because they are genetically from Arabia, but because they speak the Arabic language and identify with the Arab nation. In that respect, "Arab" could be comparable to "Turk" or "Greek". Indeed, the locus of Arab nationalism has for the most part been Iraq and the Levant, with Egypt in particular promoting both pan-Arabism and a distinct Egyptian nationalism.
@@DieFlabbergast wow !! Good stuff...
12:13 women: "it is not ok to call it a jewish state, because there are also muslims, christians and atheists" but it "should be bi: jewish-muslim" absolutely incoherent.
You can go to Jordan. Egypt. Lebanon. You will have a better life😁 not!!! Say thank you to live in Israel. You have better life than on any other arab country
It's interesting to me how much happier Israeli Arabs are than the Palestinians living in Gaza under the PA authority (Hamas)
I do not see why they would be upset. They are Arabs, it is not the land of their people. It is the ancient homeland of the house of Israel. It is a divine inheritance. However that does not mean they are allowed to be discriminated. They have to be treated with same love and respect. An Israeli Jew HAS TO love an Israeli Arab as a fellow Jew. That is the law of God.
''It is not the land of their people''.... It is the land of their great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfathers for sure(lol) . I'm Greek. Does that mean that Constantinople, the west coast of Anatolia, Alexandria and many, many other places outside the Greek state are ...mine ?
Καπτεν Χαρλοκ Good points!
Yes the Arabs in Israel are treated like equals.
Actually those areas were exactly like Palestine/Israel, don't forget they were also ''the remains of the Ottoman emp.'' But as for your first point you're right. Jewish people deserve a homeland and the only fit place was the ancient land of Israel.
''most of them(Palestinians) migrated there much recently'' Can't you see the irony of your statement ? I mean...really ?
drc ula# No i'm not. What's your point ?
Israel has to be a jewish state with a majority of jewish otherwise its not israel anymore. Whats the debate here?
Do we change the culture of a country for the minority? I dont think so it never happen in the world so why we should do that?
It’s why it’s either zionism or Antizionism
It’s both Jewish and Arab and Christian state. It is for everyone!
@Starhopper classic smearing
Read the Israel "Nation State Law". The Israeli State defines itself as a Jewish country, despite the fact that the 20% "Arab Israeli" minority is indigenous to that land for thousands of years... no respect. And it is expanding into the West Bank without any qualms whatsoever continuing to steal water, land, and property from the indigenous people, meanwhile inviting people from Brooklyn to come over and take those houses while Palestinians become homeless. The Germans of 1940 would be proud to see such a racist strategy, not to mention what you are achieving in Gaza.
I compare growing up in the US as a minority (Jewish) and thinking about all other minorities there, that nobody thinks American culture should be changed to accommodate them more. We were affected by predominantly Christian culture around holidays and such, but didn't think much about it. I don't really understand why minorities in Israel aren't as accepting of things in the same way?
Omigosh woman! Stop pushing that little girl on the swing,,,ha ha, she was crying the whole time for her to stop.
“I’m an minority Muslim Arab it is offensive to me and us (20% of the population) that Israel is regarded as a Jewish state. We need to change the national anthem, flag and names of public buildings to be fair”
“How about all the Muslim nations? Eg Egypt has 15% population who are not Muslims?”
“That is different”.

@@alangervasis u cannot blame the religion for hipocrisy man, its the people not the whole religion, im a muslim myself live in the biggest majority country on the Earth " Indonesia " but here the fact, that Indonesia is not a Islamic Country is always worth being proud of,
peace.
Egypt has less than 15% Christians I think, but Israel has 26% non-jews. It doesn't matter which country does that, it still is wrong if a country discriminates against its own citizens based on their ethnicity or religion. Israeli leaders themselves openly say that Israel is not the country of all its citizens and it doesn't even suppose to work for the interests of a fourth of its own citizens, eventhough there are extremist individuals that go after Christians in Egypt, I have never seen Egyptian leaders themselves openly saying that its not the country of all its citizens and Christian Egyptians don't really belong here. Or even a much worse regime like Iranian regime never says Iran isn't the country of Iranian Arabs or Kurds or Iranian turks. While there is an sraeli law openly declaring that self-determination and sovereignty is only unique to Jews.
@@alangervasis Islamic? Bro really chose one random muslim over 2b muslims and called it ''Islamic hypocrisy''. What if I talk to a christian in Brazil who is a hypocrite should I blame russian christians for hypocrisy? Thats kind of your logic.
I like the idea of the project but a lot of the answers are very vague and sounds like the interviewer is pulling teeth to get something out of the interviewee.
Well you can't control the answers that's the whole point
That is because the muslims just want to complain even though they really have nothing valid to complain about.
I'm a non-Jewish Zionist. I think it's very important that Israel is a Jewish state with full rights for minorities. But there is only one Jewish state and it shouldn't have to change the Hatikva anthem. It's like saying that Palestine must change its' Biladi anthem. Well the opinion that there can be two anthems - that's something to consider - but I don't support the idea that Israel must change anthem completely.

*---* *THE FACTS ABOUT THE SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS* *---*
There has never been such a country called Palestine. Israel was re-formed on land previously ruled by the Ottoman empire, similarly to other countries in the region such as Lebanon, Iraq and others. There is no such thing as "Palestinian people". It's worth noting that newspapers such as the 'Palestine post' were Jewish newspapers (this one for example turned into the 'Jerusalem post'). This is also true about other official "Palestine" related stuff from the time before Israel was re-formed. Hebrews were the majority in Jerusalem even before the birth of the Zionist movement in the 19th century. If someone happened to use the term "Palestine" before the re-formation of Israel, he was referring to the homeland of the Jevvs (the land of Israel) - not the Arabs. It's worth noting that the flag of the "Palestinian Authority" is the flag of Hejaz.
The British Mandate over the land, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, actually included also what is now Jordan (which includes the "east bank" - part of historic Israel), and according to the League of Nations (precursor of the UN), this Mandate was to become a national homeland for the Jevvs (the Arabs would get their own independent lands in all the rest of the greater middle-east, an area which makes the land of Israel insignificant in comparison). Note that according to the UN's constitution, all the past resolutions of the League of Nation are valid.
The British Authorities, due to their own interests with the Arabs (among others - future oil dealings), gave them 77% of the land - which later became what is now Jordan. There are over 20 Arab countries, and almost 60 lsIamic countries - each on average way bigger than Israel, but the Arabs couldn't tolerate the existence of tiny Israel, even after being given most of the land of the mandate. Instead, they tried to annihilate it by force with the Arab armies the moment it was officially independent (and have attempted to do so several times again since then).
The coIoniaI term "Palestine" was discarded after it was brought to life under the British rule, as it should have been, because the original name for the land - Israel, has been restored (Israel is not Palestine, just like Jerusalem is not Aelia-Capitolina, and Schehem is not Nablus).
It is only in the mid 1960's that the Arabs hijacked the term, and its widespread usage only took off after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The Arabs used this terminology as a political propaganda tool to de-legitimize Israel, after they failed to steal the Hebrew homeland by force with the Arab armies, by invading and attempting to conquer the land. Ironically, the term "Palestinian" originate from the term 'Pleshet' to describe INVADERS by the Hebrews. Those who willingly identify as "Palestinians" are declaring themselves to be invaders/colonizers in Hebrew land.
It's important to note that this propaganda tool was supported by the Communists/Soviets. On the other hand, just a few decades before that, the Arab "Palestinians" were hand in hand with the Nazis. They have aided them under the leadership of the mufti Amin Al-Husseini - who is often regarded as the 'founding father' of the Arab "Palestinians". During WW2 he became an SS general, but he had anti-Jewish genocidal ideology long before the Nazis rose the power. He has incited and caused violence and terror against the Jewish people in their homeland since the early 1920's (for example: 1929 Hebron massacre).
"Palestinians" are nothing more than bands of foreign invaders, squatters and illegal immigrants from all over the Islamic world - mostly the Arab world (some of them even originating from places that are not part of the middle-east, such as Bosnia), as well as several other places. The overwhelming majority of them first settled in the land of Israel in recent centuries - mostly in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of them even came to Gaza, Judea and Samaria from Egypt and Jordan while these areas were under Egyptian and Jordanian occupation in the period between 1948 to 1967.
Informative quotes from Arab "Palestinian" leaders:
"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' was invented by the Zionists. There is no Palestine in the bible ...Palestine is ALIEN to us" - Arab "Palestinian" leader Awni Abdul Hadi, Peel Commission, 1937.
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity... Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." - Arab "Palestinian" leader & PLO member Zuheir Mohsen, 1977.
"I don’t think there is 'Palestinian People', I don’t think there is a 'Palestinian Nation' at all… 'Palestinian Nation'? I think that is a colonial invention. When were there ever 'Palestinians'?" - Arab "Palestinian" leader Azme Bishara, TV Interview.
"We all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian in Gaza and throughout Palestine can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, Yemen or anywhere else." "... Half the Palestinians are (Arab) Egyptians and the other half are (Arab) Saudis" - Arab "Palestinian" Hamas minister Fathi Hammad, 2012.
Here are some common "Palestinian" families and their place of origin:
Saudi, Al-Husseini, Al-Hassan, Hijazi, Tamimi, Erekat, Barghouti, Qureshi, Badawi - Saudi Arabia
Yamani, Azad - Yemen
Haddadins - Yemen (Ghassanids)
Masri, Masrawa, Tartir, Bardawil, Fayumi - Egypt
Abu Kishk, Shakirat, Zabidat, Aramsha, Abu Sitta, Abu Sutta, Shaalan - Egypt (Bedouins)
Turki, Sultan, Uthuman - Turkey
Iraqi, Baghdadi, Faruqi, Tachriti, Zoabi, Abbas - Iraq

Abid - Sudan
Yasser Arafat, the most famous "Palestinian" and leader of the PLO terrorist organization, was not native to Judea. He called himself a "Palestinian refugee" but spoke Arabic with an Egyptian accent. He was born in 1929 Cairo, Egypt. He served in the Egyptian army, studied in the University of Cairo, and lived in Cairo until 1956! His full name was Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat Al-Qudwa Al-Husseini.
Yasser Arafat also proudly stated in his authorized biography that: "If there is any such thing as a Palestinian people, it is I, Yasser Arafat, who created them."
Genetic data for "Palestinians":
According to a 2010 study by Behar et al. Palestinians tested clustered genetically close to Bedouins, Jordanians and Saudi Arabians which was described as "consistent with a common origin in the Arabian Peninsula".
A study found that the Palestinians, have what appears to be Female-Mediated gene flow in the form of Maternal DNA Haplogroups from Sub-Saharan Africa. Palestinian individuals tested, carried maternal haplogroups that originated in Sub-Saharan Africa. The explanation for the presence of predominantly female lineages of African origin in these areas is that they trace back to women brought from Africa as part of the Arab slave trade, assimilated into the areas under Arab rule.
In a genetic study of Y-chromosomal STRs in two populations from Israel and the Palestinian Authority Area: Christian and Muslim Palestinians showed genetic differences.
A 2013 study of Haber and et al. found that "The predominantly Muslim populations of Syrians, Palestinians and Jordanians cluster on branches with other Muslim populations as distant as Morocco and Yemen."
The authors explained that "religious affiliation had a strong impact on the genomes of the Levantines. In particular, conversion of the region's populations to Islam appears to have introduced major rearrangements in populations' relations through admixture with culturally similar but geographically remote populations leading to genetic similarities between remarkably distant populations."
Even the Quran:
And thereafter We (Allah) said to the Children of Israel: "Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd" [17 : 104]
O my people (Jevvs)! Enter the Holy Land, which God has assigned unto you [5 : 21]
We (Allah) settled the Israelites in a blessed land and provided them with good things [10 : 93]
It was our (Allah's) will to favor those who were oppressed (Jevvs) and to make them leaders of man, to bestow on them a noble heritage and to give them power in the land (of Israel) [28 : 5-6]
We (Allah) gave the persecuted people (Jevvs) dominion over the eastern and western lands which We had blessed (the east and west banks of the Jordan River). Thus your Lord's gracious word was fulfilled for the Israelites, because they had endured with fortitude [7 : 137]

*-------* *THE ORIGIN AND MEANING OF THE TERM PALESTINE* *-------*
The origin for the term Palestine is a term to describe INVADERS by the Hebrews. Anyone who willingly identify himself as a "Palestinian" declares himself to be a colonizer/invader in Hebrew land.
The Philistines were an ancient sea-faring people who invaded the coast of ancient Israel from the islands of the area of the Aegean Sea. The term Philistines was not their actual name or the original term used to describe them - it is nothing more than a later bastardized term in English that holds no real meaning.
The original name of what they were called, comes from how they were called by the Hebrews - which was not their actual Aegean name, but a term that was derived from what they were - invaders. The name was Plishtim, and the small area they colonized on the coast of the land of Israel was called Pleshet (which basically meant 'area/land of invaders', and parallels to the English term Philistia). These words hold meaning, as they come from the root-word to describe INVADERS in Hebrew (and indeed the Philistines were invaders in Hebrew land). Philistia was only a very small strip of land on the coast that the Philistines managed to capture from the Hebrews and occupy it (note that this small territory had never reached near places like Jerusalem, Hebron and other places in Judea and Samaria).
Due to their fighting with the Israelites, the Assyrian conquests, and the Babylonian conquests, the Philistines went completely extinct more than 2600 years ago. What remained of them has been completely assimilated into the nations of the region, and what little remained of them in the land of Israel has been assimilated into the Hebrews.
The Philistines were actually part of a larger group of people that were known as the "Sea People" (because they invaded from the sea), who also invaded other lands (such as Egypt).
The term Palestine is a bastardized English term, which comes from the bastardized Roman coIoniaI term Palestina for Pleshet (what we now call Philistia) - which itself comes from a bastardized Greek term for Pleshet, and in the end originate from Pleshet (what we now call Philistia).
The term was first implemented by the Romans after the final Jevvish-Roman war around 135 CE. The merciless Romans decided that mass ethnic-cleansing, massacre and slavery of Jevvs wasn't enough - they would rename the province of Judea into Palestina in order to further humiliate the Jevvs by renaming their homeland after their ancient enemies (the Philistines), and attempting to erase Jevvish connection to land.
Throughout the centuries this foreign coIoniaI term was forgotten and was no longer in use. The Ottomans, who ruled the land for centuries up until the end of the first World War did not make use of the term.
When the British took control over the land after World War 1 they revived/popularized the incorrect and coIoniaI term Palestine, but even then it wasn't simply known as "Palestine", but as 'Palestine (Land of Israel)'. It was obvious to the British authorities that the land was the homeland of the Jevvs - the land of Israel, and "Palestine" was simply a technical/geographical term, not a term related to any "Palestinian people".
Modern-day Arab "Palestinians", most of which have first came to the land of Israel as recently as the 19th and 20th centuries, have nothing to do with the ancient Aegean Philistines from thousands of years ago (that went completely extinct a several centuries after their invasion to the land of Israel, more than a thousand years before Islam was even created), expect that they were both foreign invaders in Hebrew land and the term they (the Arabs) adopted, which originate from the term to describe INVADERS in the native tongue of the land - Hebrew.
The adoption of the term "Palestinians" (as a new identity) by the Arabs happened only in the mid 1960's (and took off after the 1967 war), as part of an attempt to de-legitimize Israel through false propaganda after they failed stealing the homeland of the Hebrews from them by force with the invading Arab armies. This Plan, which was aided by the Communists/Soviets actually worked quite well for them (as we can see today) due to bias, stupidity, and ignorance, of people around the world.
Despite the success of their anti-Israel propaganda, by identifying as "Palestinians" they (ironically) declare themselves to be invaders in Hebrew land. Another absurd thing is the fact that Arabs can't even pronounce 'p' in their own language (it does not exist in Arabic, and they end up pronouncing it as 'f' or 'b'), thus being unable to properly pronounce their own "original" name for their own "original" invented nation, in their own language.
You can clearly see the sheer hypocrisy, absurdity and dishonesty of Arab "Palestinians", who often complain about Western imperiaIism, in their misuse/propaganda/perpetuation of the foreign coIoniaI term "Palestine" in order to promote their goal of implementing their Pan-Arab-lsIamic imperiaIism in Judea.
Israel is not and never has been "Palestine", just as Jerusalem is not Aelia-Capitolina (another foreign term introduced by the Romans - a name that comes from the family name of the Roman emperor Hadrian. The Arabs, who came later and did not know any better, first called it Aelia, not Al-Quds - which is a bastardized Arab term from the Hebrew term HaQdosha, that was used by them in a much later period), and Shechem is not Nablus (a bastardized Arab term for Neapolis - another foreign colonial term).
*-------* *THE FACTS REGARDING AL-AQSA* *-------*
Today, Jerusalem's holiness to Sunni MusIims as the third most holy city, is based on a late and political interpretation of a Quranic verse. To Shi'ite MusIims, the third holiest city, ranked below Mecca and Medina, is the city of Najaf in southern Iraq.
Early lsIamic sources state that the "Al Aqsa Mosque" (literal meaning: 'the farther mosque'), mentioned only once in the Quran, was one of two mosques located near Ji'irrana, a village located between Mecca and Taif in Hejaz. One of the mosques was called "al-Masjid al-Adna", meaning the "closer mosque" and the other "al-Masjid al-Aqsa", the "farther mosque". When the Quran refers to the Al Aqsa mosque while telling the story of Muhammad's night time journey from the "holy mosque" of Mecca to Al Aqsa, that is, the "farther mosque", it is referring to the mosque in Ji'irrana.
It's also interesting to note the following Hadith:
Narrated Abu Dhar: I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Which mosque was first built on the surface of the earth?” He said, “Al-Masjid-al-Haram.” I said, “Which was built next?” He replied “The mosque of Al-Aqsa.” I said, “What was the period of construction between the two?” He said, “Forty years.” - Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 585 ; Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 636
Al-Aqsa Mosque can't possibly be referring to the mosque which was built in Jerusalem decades after the time of Muhammad's death.
In 682 C.E., fifty years after Mohammed's death, Abdallah Ibn al-Zubayr, the tough man of Mecca, rebelled against the Umayyads who ruled Damascus and would not allow them to fulfill the Hajj in Mecca. Since the Hajj pilgrimage is one of the five basic lsIamic commandments, they decided to choose Jerusalem as their alternative for a pilgrimage site. In order to justify choosing Jerusalem, the Umayyads rewrote the story told in the Quran, moving the Al Aqsa mosque to Jerusalem, and adding, for good measure, the myth of the night time journey of Mohammed to al Aqsa. This is the reason the Sunnis now consider Jerusalem their third holiest city.
Shia lsIam, mercilessly persecuted by the Umayya Caliphate, did not accept the holy Jerusalem canard, which is the reason the third holiest city to Shi'ites is Najif in Iraq, the burial place of Shi'ite founder Ali bin Abi Talib. Many of the Shi'ite elders - Iranian and Hezbollah - only began to call Jerusalem holy after the Khomeni rebellion in 1979 so as to keep the Sunnis from accusing them of being soft on Israel.
The first lie, in that case, is the spurious claim that the "farther mosque" is in Jerusalem.
More lies were piled on to the first one, the main prevarication being the exact location of this so-called Al Aqsa mosque, which until not very long ago, was the silver-domed building on the southern end of the Temple Mount.
The entire area of the Temple Mount is known as al-Haram al-Sharif - "the holy and noble site"- but a change came about after the Six Day War, when Jevvish voices could be heard, calling for the establishment of a synagogue on the Mount. Immediately after the war, a prominent rabbi also said that he wanted to celebrate religious events on the Temple Mount. It was felt that the MusIims would not object, since Al Aqsa was on the southern edge of the compound and the synagogue would not be nearby.
As a result, however, the MusIims decided to announce that the Al Aqsa mentioned in the Quran refers not only to the mosque on the southern end of the compound, but is the name for the entire Temple Mount area, abandoning the original name, al-Haram al-Sharif. The renaming of the Temple Mount is clearly a canard, with two documents, one known and one less known, revealing the truth.
The source that is more widely known is a booklet prepared in 1924 by none other than the openly Jevv-hating (and later on an SS general) Mufti Hajj Amin Al-Husayni and reprinted many times in the years following its first publication. The booklet's title is "A Brief Guide to al-Haram al-Sharif - Jerusalem". Note that the area is not called Al Aqsa. The Al Aqsa Mosque appears as a chapter in the booklet, after the chapter on the Dome of the Rock, the golden-domed structure in the middle of the compound. It is clear that to Hajj Amin Al-Husayni, the Mufti of Jerusalem, the Al Aqsa Mosque was simply the silver-domed building on the southern end of the compound.
The lesser known of the two documents is an ordinary Jordanian tourist map of Jerusalem that was executed in 1965, two years before the 1967 Six Day War. At that time, East Jerusalem was still illegally occupied by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, while the entire world kept silent and uttered not a word against this totally illegal occupation. The map was drawn by a Jordanian named Abd al-Rahman Rassas who worked as an official surveyor and was authorized by the Hashemite Tourism Authority of Jordan. The map bears the words: "recommended and approved by the official Jordanian Tourist Authority".
A perusal of the map shows that in 1965 the Temple Mount compound was still called "al-Haram al-Sharif", that it was on "Mount Moriah", and that the "Al Aqsa Mosque" was simply the silver-domed building on the southern end of al-Haram al-Sharif. In other words, thirty years before the peace agreement between Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Jordanians identified Al Aqsa as no more than an edifice on the southern end of al-Haram al-Sharif, which in turn is built on Mount Moriah.
Those who lie and deceive in the name of lsIam decided to "expand" Al Aqsa - whose real location is actually in Ji'irrana (in Hejaz) - to encompass the entire Temple Mount area only after the Jevvs liberated the site of their Temples in the 1967 Six Day War.
For example, Sheikh Ikrima Sabr, Mufti of Jerusalem 1994-2006, in a speech given on Friday, January 4th, 2002, said the following: "Oh ye MusIims (all over the world), when we talk about the blessed Al Aqsa Mosque, we mean a mosque whose area is 144 dunam (the size of al-Haram al-Sharif in its entirety) including the walls, the al-Buraq Wall (their name for the Western Wall), the passages, hallways, entrances and squares, in addition to the part that is roofed (the building in the southern end), the part that is ancient (under the roofed part) and the Foundation Stone (under the Dome of the Rock), the Marwani prayer site (Solomon's Stables), all are Al Aqsa…"
Another lie, revealed as such by the very same map, follows on the heels of this one. It concerns the site of the Jevvish Holy Temples. Some lsIamic preachers even claim nowadays that al-Haykal al-Maz'oum - "the supposed (Jevvish) Temple" - was never in Jerusalem. The Jordanian map puts paid to the lies of every one of these lsIamic orators.
Of course, those who deny the existence of the Temple in Jerusalem also simply contradict the well-established history of the land.

Middle East TRUTH
Palestine + Islam + Judaism - A brief History
Believing that nothing happened there between 70AD and 1948 is Naive, Self-Entitled and Arrogant.
* Between 1922 and 1948, during the British Mandate, it was called Palestine in English, Falastin in Arabic, and Palestina Eretz Yisrael in Hebrew. Look it up on the official old Map -------
* Between the 16th century to 20th century: During the Ottoman Rule, it was called Kudus I-Sherif (Jerusalem), Nablus and Akka (Acre); headed by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem --------
* During the Mamluk rule, between 13th and 16th century, it was called Falastin, and considered as part of Bilal al-Sham (Syria).--------
* During the Crusade, it was referred to the Kingdom of Jerusalem by Europeans (the Princes in communion with the Roman Catholic Churches) ---------
* During the Ummayad and Abbasid period between 7th and 12th century (the people who built Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock), the land was called Jund Filastin, with Gherussalaim (Jerusalem) as its Capital. ----------
* 350 AD to the beginning of the 7th century AD; During the Byzantine Rule (started by Constantine’s mother, Helena, who built the Church of the Sepulchre in 4th century), it was referred as three districts: Palaestina Prima, Palaestina Secunda, and Palaestina Salutaris, including the modern day Negev and Sinai.----------
* During the Roman Rule, 70 AD - 350 AD, it was called Syria-Palaestina, with the capital in Antioch.--------
* During Herodian Rule, between 40 BC to 70 AD; It was a Tetrarchy of Judea, a client state of the Roman Empire. Herod Antipas and his grandson Herod Agrippa, the Parthian/Roman/Jew King who spent his childhood in Rome with the Agrippa Family were the most famous figures during this period. Masada fortress palace and the expansion of the Second Temple were carried out during this period. ---------
* During the Hasmonean’s rule (160 BC to 40 BC), it was called Judea or Yehuda (Hebrew), with the capital in Jerusalem. ---------
* During the Greek Ptolemy and the Seleucids Eras (350 BC to 200 BC), it belonged to the Hellenistic Egypt and the Seleucid Persian interchangeably, the entire land was called Palaestina (it is a Greek name). ----------
* During the Assyrian, Babylonian and Achaemenid Persian rules (8th - 5th Century BC) - it was called Yehud Medinata (meaning the Province of Judah). The Babylonian exile happened during this period (+/- 585-515 BC; only 70-75 years) when the exile Israeli tribes started adopting the idea of a Monotheistic religion, serving only the God of the mythical Abraham. This is also the time when the ruling elites of Judah - Zerubbabel and Yeshua, son of Jehozadak - were “sucking up” to Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes the Achaemenid Persian (Iranian) rulers, resulting the Jews for being granted with Financial Aid to built the Second Temple at around 500 BC. NOTE: Jewish religion was Monolateral before the Babylonian Exile, rather than Monotheistic. Simply put, that means the Israelites acknowledged the existence of other gods, but believed that YHWH was the god meant for the Israelites. -----------
* Between approximately 1000 BC and 800 BC; After the “alleged” Exodus and before Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian rules: It was called Judah & Samaria (hence the Samaritans Jews). Emphasis on “alleged”, because the Exodus story was a myth created as a propaganda to unite the tribe of Israel under a Monotheistic believe system, a resistant movement against the current ruler of the land, the Egyptian and their Pharaohs, the Assyrian, and the Philistines, the sea-faring Greek tribes, who lives along the coastal line. At this time the Israelites HAVE NOT YET practiced monotheism. They, the Israelites, practiced Monolateralism. Yahweh, their God of War and Rain, was just one of many other Gods, sharing the gods of the Cannanites and the Phoenicians. They have not yet adopted the Jewish Identity as what we acknowledge today: Serving only one God, the God of Abraham. The most historically documented rulers in this period were King Ahab (died 852 BC) and his Phoenician (Lebanese) wife, Jezebel, a royal couple who had infamously allowed all their subjects worshiping any gods, angering the Jewish religious body at that time. ------------
* Before 1000 BC; Canaan, belong to the Canaanites. It is to be noted that the Canaanites were the people whom Yahweh, the God of the Israelites, have asked to murder and pillage (rape), and have their town, Jericho, to destroy, and to settle there. In reality, the Israelites were not stupid, blindly following the instruction on Yahweh. They must have had a more cordial relationship with the native Canaanites, because many of Hebrew names - even until today - are of Canaanite origin. Eg: Esther=Ishtar; Mordecai= Marduk; Inat=Anat, etc. Those are names of Canaanites’ god and goddesses -------
* An important rule of a Canaanite King was recorded in 1400 BCE; He is called Abdi-Tirshi, who had sworn loyalty to the pharaoh of Egypt (Just like Herod sworn loyalty to Rome 1300 years later). He, Abdi-Tirshi, was the first Canaanite ruler referred to as "king" in the El Amarna archive in Egypt. -------
* NOTE: Only for about 230 years the Jews could call this region as their country WITH Jewish Identity. As an Independent State during the Hasmonean rule, and as a Client State of the Roman Empire during Herodian Rule; both combined from 160 BC to 70 AD.
RELATION BETWEEN ANCIENT JEWS, ANCIENT ROMANS, MODERN JEWS, and MODERN PALESTINIAN
While it is true that there was never a Sovereign Nation called Palestine, the land itself (and its people) has been referred to as Palestine/Falastin/Palaestina throughout its long history, and have always been populated, never abandoned. Just like in Europe, there was never a Sovereign Nation called Gaul. But the inhabitants of France and their land have been referred to Gaul for centuries.
The Assyrian and the Ashkenazi Jews were the ONLY people who expelled the native of Palestine, in 585 BC and in 1948, respectively. There has never been a valid historical proof that the Romans ever expelled the population of Palestine. What the Roman did was destroying the temple, and making sure that no new Jewish temple ever get built there, again.

Okay the land is called Palestine right? You dont believe me? Hrzl the founder of your religion (zionism) spoke of returning the jews to Palestine and the bolfor declaration talked about establishing Palestine as a homeland for the jewish people. So because its called Palestine the people who live there despite being ethnically arab would be called Palestinian. to me a PALESTINIAN, this makes sense. I do not recognize jewish occupation of my hometown in the west bank.
Egyptian Jews lived in Egypt; a Muslim State. We never complained. It made no difference.

Corey, im not arab, but a good advice to make a proper interview is to ask questions to people in a language they can talk deeply about the topic you are asking. You could bring someone that speaks arabic with you. Or ask just in hebrew. Some of them couldnt explain exactly what they wanted to say.
I can't quite imagine how it is that you don't speak the majority language of the state even with reservations.
When Jews lived in Arab countries they all spoke Arabic, though often with French, as well as Ladino (whatever it was called locally), and other world or local languages, such as Berber.

perakole I think we all know why we have wars there. Going back before european countries were in the Middle East it was very peaceful. Also let’s over think things and remember the Osama Ben Ladn (terriost leader) was once in the US army. Claiming to be Muslims when killing Muslims and other innocents isn’t what a faithful person would say Muslim or Christian or any.
Democracy gives power to the majority, which is exactly why it's a Jewish and democratic state, the majority are Jewish.

This video reflects the views of the most educated people. If you go to Gaza or even Ramallah or Nablus I am sure you'll hear much less sympathetic voices.
It’s not about educated in those places it’s more about situation. Of course, Palestinians in Gaza would be the least sympathetic, look at their situation.

What are your impressions so far?
Well, let's see. Everyone wants to live a normal life.That's for sure. But what normal means for each one of us is ahh... different. Apart from that and speaking extremely generally i'm pro-Jewish for a number of reasons.
Yes but the pro-Arab stand is changing in the last decades, especially from 2000 and on. But to be sincere many Greeks are anti-Semites like many Europeans. That is because of the church. There are also many (like myself) who really want to see a decisive alliance between the two countries as we believe Israel is the only light in a dark world(middle east).
Excellent question ! From those who are pro-Israel 70% is only for strategic reasons. The rest 30%(including me) is really pro-Israel no matter what.
I prefer a Democracy with disadvantages(Israel) than any Islamic state. For me Islam is not only a religion but a dictatorial way of life.
Palestinian national authority defines Palestine as part of the larger arab world.
18+ arab countries. 1 jewish. Soon 1 kurdish.

@@mrmbendol it’s an interview when you ask questions and let people express their opinion without intervening. When you start challenging their response while obviously stating your opinion in the questions and remarks it becomes a debate.
These Palestinians that stayed and agreed to become a part of Israel in 1948, have a very different mentality than the Palestinians who left to attack Israel and watch it get destroyed and either became refugees in other Arab countries or that like in Gaza or West Bank.
They're not refugees.
Possesion is 90% of the law. If Jews control the territory at the moment, they can call it whatever they want. On the other hand, when the tide turns, Palestinians will be entitled to call the area any way they see fit.

The example with egypt is perfect
Yeah, and he should have mentioned that Egypt was never an arab state either in history, it has always been the land of the ancient egyptians people and the copts, then the arab occupied
It's different... Israel occupied that land, it went from having 10% Jews to 80% Jews. Claiming it is a Jewish state is very unfair and erasing history from less then a century ago. ALSO, you can be an Arab jew... just like you can be an Arab christian and an Arab Muslim - stop claiming Judisim as a race rather then a religion ... no one is pure blood and people may have converted in and out of a religion through out history- is an Ethiopian jew racially the same as Russian jew?

As Arabic is an important minority language I propose an Arabic version of the anthem, which is more neutral, but we the same tune, so the Arabic-speaking minority can reflect themselves in it. Canada, Switzerland and Belgium have local minorities and there's a version of the anthem in those languages.
Well, I mean Hebrew barely has any semitic sounds unlike Arabic, and there's the fact that it borrowed a lot of vocabulary from Arabic. So Arabic is actually a better option for a national anthem than Hebrew

Hi, I'm not Jewish and not affiliated to any Jewish movement or group, I'm a concerned citizen at what is happening between the political parties and the media. There's something I think you all should be made aware of. The British Labour Party is filled with antisemitic members, not all but enough to set alarms bells ringing. Some MP's and members have been outraged by the lack of support from the current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn who has publicly supported both Hamas and Hezbollah, and have now left the party, which brings me to my next point. Tom Watson the Labour shadow secretary who is head of the antisemitic group is trying to deflect the racial anti Jewish sentiment by going after Mr Tommy Robinson. Regardless of his beliefs, this seems to be an attack on anyone that doesn't share their political views by deplatforming them and taking away their freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the very cornerstone of our culture and to suppress it regardless of who it's targeted at, is an attack on us all...

You got a strong point.
But the commenter above suggesting “there is Christ on the flag of the U.K.” Incorrect. Crosses attributed to Saints are not the same as the Cross that symbolises Jesus’ Crucifixion.
Furthermore; Those patron Saints don’t represent the nationality of the land of which they became patrons.
For Example, St George was from Cappadocia, Turkey, who later moved to either Libya or Algeria. He never set foot in England, and was probably a fictional character created by the Eastern or North African Church.
St. Andrew was from Galilee, Palestine, and buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople, Istanbul. Allegedly visit Scotland once, very briefly.
St. Patrick did live in Ireland. But he was originally a Briton, working as a slave for the Romans. So in a way he is the only “almost native” saint among the three.
So the point here is, those Saints are very Universal holy figures, not the monopoly of England or Scotland. They are very inclusive, crossing nations, although not crossing faith. Whereas a Star of David is 100% exclusive. It doesn’t cross nations or faith......... Capito?
9511 Daniel Mate this just shows how uneducated you are in your arguments. They’re saying the flags should be more inclusive, like how the British flag represents not only Great Britain but also Northern Ireland... you can’t pull bad examples to justify your bad status quo, you need to pull better examples to see how you could improve.

20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE. The land of Israel has been populated by the Jewish people since 2000 BC. Here's the timeline, in case you didn't realize that its there homeland, . 2000BC Abraham chosen as the father of the Jewish nation
1900 BC: Isaac, rules over Israel.
1850 BC: Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.
1400 BC: Moses leads the people back to Israel.
1010 BC: King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.
970 BC: King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple structure in Jerusalem
930 BC: Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
800s BC: The rise of the prophets
722 BC: Kingdom of Israel is conquered by Assyrians.
605 BC: Kingdom Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.

433 BC: Malachi is the end of the prophetic age.
432 BC: The last group of Jews return from exile.
333 BC: The Greeks conquer the Persian empire.
323 BC: The Egyptian and Syrian empire take over Israel.
167 BC: Hasmonean's recapture Israel, and the Jews are ruled independently.
70 BC: Romans conquer Israel.
20 BC: King Herod builds the "second" temple
6 BC: Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem
70 AD: Romans destroy the temple
After that, the people were captives to the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or less of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn't live in the land. They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, practiced their faith and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It is what sustains them, even now.
In 1948, the UN established the State of Israel, the nation of Jews. Don't buy the Palestinian lies that they are entitled to the land. It simply is not true. ERETZ-ISRAEL [(Hebrew) - the Land of Israel] was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained to statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance jews always lived in the land there wasn't a time where they didn't live there and lot of jews do dna tests and it's show that they are originally from Israel example: Are you serious? Based on DNA analysis, my family originated southern Israel and the migrated to Syria at about the conclusion of the Roman conquest. From there, they migrated to Spain and Portugal and then to Russia. In Russia, their names changed and they immigrated to the US in the mid-1800s. It has been common that Jews changed their last names in an effort to fight antisemitism. Jews originally trace their ancestry to a confederation of Iron Age Semitic-speaking tribes known as the Israelites that inhabited a part of Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods. Modern Jews are named after and also descended from the Israelite Kingdom of Judah
Jews are originated from Judea
Modern Jews descended from the ancient Canaanites. Hebrew originated from the Canaanite language modern Jewish groups show more then half of their ancestry as Canaanite there was never Palestinenian state Since 1964, they have been referred to as Palestinians the Palestinenians come from Jordan, syria, Egypt, Lebanon and more countries tell the arab occupiers to go back to there original countries!!!! Palestine has never been a state, a nation or a country. It was a geographical area belonging to the Turkish Ottoman empire before 1918. The Turks lost in WW1 and the League of Nations gave it as a protectorate to Britain as part of the British Mandate for Palestine. Britain handed the responsibility to the UN in 1947. The UN suggested a partition plan (UN Resolution 181) that separated the region into a Jewish homeland and an Arab land The Jews accepted and created Israel. The Arabs refused, declared war on Israel and have been waging war on Israel and refusing any offers of their own nation
The word Palestinian is Latin for Philistine and actually means “Invader to the land” That makes as much sense as renaming a house Burglarland and the Burglar claiming the home he was robing now belongs to him and the original owners are occupying it.
You are basically saying the word thief means new owner plisthim come from Crete Greece and they extinct The Palestinenians come from the middle east but you all are pretending it’s solely from one specific country in the Middle East which just isn’t true as your own DNA test even shows (primarily Egyptian and Jordanian, as is expected). Interestingly enough tons of Jewish DNA tests have also shown Middle Eastern (directly from the area of Israel in southern Levant) ancestry despite being Ashkenazi (and obviously Sephardic and Mizrahi) yet I hear lots of people claiming the same, that ties to the area are questionable and should "go back to Europe"

@@jonnymambo2697 He's talking about the Ibrahimic faiths.
Lol
cristianity is not abrahamic relegion!! for jews and muslims it is blasphemy
It is not a right to be largely represented in a country when you are a minority.
They won't be a minority if the ones who fled in 1948 are allowed to return.. millions and millions of Palestinians are refugees to this day all around the world
Migrating to a land enmasse in order to have an advantage in numbers does not give you the right to take over. My neighbor has a family of two. Do you think it would be reasonable for me to take over their home if I go there? After all, my family consists of five individuals.
@nikolai bahtin You are spewing Zionist propaganda my friend. If you spend more than 5 minutes around Syrians, Jordanians, Egyptians and Palestinians you would know the differences. I happen to be Syrian myself and I probably know a thing or two about that more than you
@R B J learn history, people took the land from jewish people. And now they reclaimed it.
It's easy to attack and criticize jews, because they were never been known for being violent people.
Go ask sweden or any other european country with a cross on it to change their flag to make it more "bi cultural", or maybe the natives in the US need to ask to change the flag and anthem, to make it more "bi cultural". Let's see how they will response.
It's easy to criticize Israel and jews, even when the land is rightfully theirs.
R B J Israel is the land that’s a core part of Judaism. The Tanakh mentions Jerusalem 667 times. Jews have a right of self-determination as everyone else does, especially when it’s based on historical facts
Egyptians are NOT Arabs; we only speak Arabic. We are Copts, Nubians, Berbers & only the Bedouins are the Arabs whom are from Sinai.
You killed all copts.
outline All???? But they still here..
Egyptian's are Africans just buy way
„What would have to change to satisfy you?.Oh a lot. Give me an example. I can’t.“😅
You can't compare Israel with Egypt.
Israel calls itself the "only democracy in the Middle East" while modern Egypt is not democratic.
Muslim majority countries display the symbol of Islam in their flags, even though parts of the population practice other religions...Israel is a democratic country where there is freedom of speech and religion, 79% of the population is jewish, so it´s the predominant culture and represents an integral part of the country´s identity, nothing wrong with that...Peace
They don't have separate roads for different ethnicities in those Muslim countries last time I checked and even a fascist regime like Iran I have never heard their politicians openly saying that it's not the country of all its citizens and Iranian Arabs or turks don't really belong here. Unlike Israeli leaders who themselves openly say that Israel is not the country of all its citizens and it doesn't even suppose to work for the interests of a fourth of its own citizens who are non-jews, which is actually a very high percentage of minority citizens. Unlike most Muslim countries who are more than 90-95 percent Muslim in the first place.
Adiv from Beer Sheva (but living in Haifa?) is so handsome and speaks English very well.
@Random Guy I am actually Muslim Bedouin Israeli from the south, I like to tour around the country. It was a matter of chance when Corey approached me. I tend not to judge people because the facts are much deeper than the what media would like to sell you.
@@ViniFreeMan117 Still very handsome, whatever your background. Are you single?
@Random Guy the amount of generalisations you made in that paragraph like you've met every single Arab Palestinian
Adib Dabes You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself Israeli? The Bedouin is from long before Israel even thought of
We call them the Arab of 1948, and honestly I don't know whether I should feel sorry for them, or disgusted !!
If we went to Arab Muslim nation as a Jew, imagine saying we want a different national anthem.
I'm sorry but you are incredibly ignorant. The Arab (Palestinian) Israeli citizens are Palestinian, they are indigenous to that land for thousands of years.... Whereas the Jews came in the last 100 years from all over, and are in terms of DNA only partially related to the land (in terms of having DNA from there). DNA studies show that Palestinian DNA is 90% the same as people from Canaan in 1700BC. And the Jewish DNA in the Jews is that same DNA but about 50% mixed in with European and Russian DNA. What the Zionists did to the Palestinians continues to be probably the greatest injustice the West has ever committed to a single population group on this Earth in the last 125 years. I would say you should be ashamed but you wouldn't have the least idea what you've done wrong, and no doubt see the Palestinians as subhuman, as most Israelis do. "Slaughtering 20,000 kids is just the price". Believe me, Israel is about to face the music.
This is simple: there are millions of foreigners living in the Netherlands, many Muslims indeed, but the Netherlands is the country of the Dutch . Minorities included and protected but the country is the country of the Dutch nation. Not Moroccan, not Turkish but , . .. DUTCH. Same in Israel.
5:37 she cant think of what rights she would like to have which she currently doesnt have because she has full and equal rights as Jewish Israelis have. Good expose Gil. Also why should they change an anthem or flag to accommodate a minority population? Why shouldnt all muslim and christian countries be neutral as well? Lol makes no sense
Arab arrogance and supremacy culture- if it is not under Arab / Muslim domination then it is an occupation.
I don't get this. I was bought up in the UK as a boy, only 2 Jewish boys in Christian school. I was everyday called the Jew Boy but did anyone stick up for me NO, not even the media lol. I had to learn to live with it.

What a stupid question!!! This is a jewish state, every nation has the right for a state, and the jews as well! Israel was recognized by the united nations as a jewish state, jews dint have any other state and still you ask some of the citizens if it is a jewish state?!?! Why you dont ask muslims in france if they recognize it, or in Ingland?!
If somebody doesnt recognize Israel as a jewish state they are welcome to leave it, there are plenty other arab countries, and there is a palestinian state in Gaza!!! Some stupid people think that every nation has a right to have its own state, but not the jews!!! We have to live in a "bionational" state, with a tertor palestinian state in the south called Gaza, and also establish another palestinian state in the so called " occupied territories" ( also a tertor state), so the arabs will have two and a half states and the jews only half ( wonderfull neiborhood....). This is justice!!!!!!!
It's sad the Jewish people cannot have their own state while peacefully coexisting with the Arabs within her. The entire world doesn't have place for a purely Jewish state the size less than that of New Jersey? (I'm not including West Bank and Gaza, coz the topic here is about the Jewish state). Should they just be dispersed all over the world without a state of their own that represents them? Given that they historically lived in that strip of land? It is surrounded by so many Islamic nations who kicked out close to 700,000 Jews only in the last few decades, and Israel welcomed them, while those nations cannot shelter their own fellow Muslims. All the Arabs within Israel have all the rights as a normal citizen (like any sovereign country that protects and gives rights to its minorities; there are Arab Muslims in the Israeli Army even). Granted there are trouble makers on both sides. The solution is not simple to this problem and requires a lot of empathy from both sides. But the Jewish people do deserve their own sovereign state that fully represents them amidst the billion Muslims around them. A billion. A two-state solution would therefore be ideal if you need exclusive representation of both sides. But it isn't an easy decision to make given what is happening in Gaza, where there are no Jewish settlers today. It's all a giant mess.

9:35 The name "Knesset" derives from the Hebrew root K.N.S. כ.נ.ס., meaning a convergence or a convention, a church in Hebrew is called "Knessia" for that exact reason, people gather up in order to pray. A synagogue is "Beit Knesset" - a gathering house. It has nothing to do with tradition but rather with the language.
A mosque is called a "Misgad - מסגד" because people praise God there - "sogdim - סוגדים".
About '48. Israel has opened it's doors not once but twice for the Arabs who lost the wars to come back. After the 1948 independence war and also in the late 60s if I recall correctly. In war, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, it could be lives, territory, weapons and so on. That's exactly what happened. Also it's the Arab league responsible for the mass leaving of Israel. They promised them they'll win the war and once they do everyone can go back safely and retrieve their belongings. Some did not listen to them and held to their lands and as a result got full rights. Some even fought alongside the Jews.
What he said is a contradiction. Although he seemed like a genuinely knowledgeable person, he mentioned that both me and him have a blue Israeli passport, meaning we both stand equally beneath the law. In any Arab country it wouldn't be like that.
Do you believe Palastinian refugees have the right of return according to UN resolution 194,human right laws and international law?
@iinventedgoogle1287 do you know how to read and not rudely changing subjects? Also get that killer flag off your pfp, the red in it symbolizes the blood of jews.

@@yarik14 Now instead of the Drama and crocodile 🐊 tears,can you answer my question because unless your IQ is the same forrest Gump my question is totally relevant to your comment?
@iinventedgoogle1287 Of course they shouldn't, naturally they don't deserve this right. You picked a war with holocaust survivors in 48 and lost, this is the consequence, a Jewish state, you should be thankful Arabs are equal citizens with full rights. Can a Jewish person return to his house in an Arab country? Of course not, we are not even allowed in Algeria for example, after they murdered thousands and stole their homes and belongings. This is the result of war, and Israel has opened it's gates for refugees, not once but twice. Once after 48 and also after 67, do your own homework. And Egypt and Jordan btw, didn't accept any of their own people (80% of Jordan is "Palestinian"). Get your facts right. Hypocrite
One nation prospers thru hard work and ingenuity while the other lives in poverty and hate in a true clash of culture and values.
Ps: palestine west bank and gaxa have more natural resources than whole of Israel combined 😅....
