Want to know what Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East really think about the conflict? Ask a question and I will get answers.
People ask Israelis questions. I go out and ask random people to answer. Inass from Germany asks "Do Mizrahim get offended if someone calls them Arabs?"
Kind of reminded me of what the father of my uncle's wife answered to me when I asked him why he left Morocco as a youth: "because although I felt like an Arab I was labelled as a Jew" and then he added "so I went to Israel where I felt like a Jew but was labelled as an Arab" (true story)
They're Arab Jews.
Moroccans are not Arabs, they are Amazigh. It’s not because you speak Arabic you’re an Arab. My parents are also from Morocco, but we call ourselves Amazigh.
@@lanavandutch5591 facts. It's like if Bolivians or Peruvians called themselves Spanish because they speak the language. The sad thing is that there are still some ignorant north-africans who believe they're Arabs. North Africa population is still over 90% Amazigh today and has been for over 9000 years. There are Amazighs of various faiths in North Africa: Muslims, Christians and Jews.
@@lanavandutch5591 jews are semitic not amazigh regardless where they come from
@@AndrewMalone_ jews call themselvs semitic regardless where they are from
We are all Middle-Eastern. We are all Semitic. We are all decedents of Shem. We all speak Semitic languages. Arabs and Jews are almost the same.
But why is there such hatred from Jews against Muslims, they always help the whites in their fights against other Middle Easterners. When USA and UK invaded Iraq, where Jews' ancestor Abraham came from and killed many Semites, no Israeli said a word in protest...
Falamu445 jews don't hate or love Muslims. We just don't give a fuck. You are air for us. We ignore you.
Why we don't care? People that lies even in the meaning of the word islam are nothing but hypocrites.
You have no self respect so don't expect to get it from others.
the middle of what? the east of where?
How about we say we're West Asian?
iloveriyadh2877 It sad to know how religion had divided people who share same cultural and linguistic characteristics. I believe if there was no religion all people in Middle East could have lived together peacefully, by the way I am Kord.
iloveriyadh2877 You know what is the second most used word (After "Arabs" of course) we call Arabs in Israel? cousins. lol.
Im half belarusian ashkenazi and half syrian/lebanese mizrahi and if someone call me arab I will be proud, because yes, I'm arab and every jew is a blood brother of the arabs. This is not insultant this is who the mizrahis are, and we have to be proud of this!
Beautiful! 💯
I love you dude. Great take on an important issue.
habibi
Glad to see such open mindedness!
Except neither Syrians nor Lebanese are actually Arabs. Arabs come from the Arabian peninsula. Lebanese are Mediterranean Canaanites that are mixed with Europeans.
I am arab muslim I've done dna test I found out that I have 29% Mizrahim jews in me
now I feel offended when people call me arab
Are you Yemeni ?
What an answer! Let those snob racist minded Jews chew this over!
If you can trace it to a specific Jewish grandparent, then you could claim Israeli citizenship.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 this was cute
Is your family from Yemen?
You know Yemen used to have a Jewish kingdom before Islam?
Link below:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himyarite_Kingdom
No. Mizrahim means "easterners" and is the term used for Jews who came from Arab/Muslim countries. Ashkenazim is "westerners" or "Europeans"
This is a real question... "Egypt" is actually a Greek word... and the true name of Egypt is actually Mizra or Mizrahim in hebrew.... so are the Northern Africans still considered Mizrahim?.... I've never been able to ask anyone that. I gave you a thumbs up by the way.
@@lynx777 Egypt is Mitsra'im in Hebrew (not Mizrahim), East is Mizrahi. Two different letters in Hebrew and unrelated.
Funny thing is that Ashkenazim who are new converts to Judaism and whose mothers are from Poland or the Jewish Union describe the original Iraqi Babylonian Aramaic Torah Jews as Arabs.
@Lavender5765 no Ashkenazi are not new converts. This is a myth and I see you actually believed the debunked Khazer theory. Shame on you for spreading lies to try to delegitimize a group of people. My family was killed in the Holocaust specifically for being a different race than the so called “pure blood” Europeans. We’re on average 50-60% Middle Eastern and the rest European. Some look very European others not so much and have some more middle eastern type features. I see the variation in my own family. This is not a political statement, it’s just plain old information. Conspiracy theories don’t equal facts.
I am an Iraqi and it is amazing how I was able to spot the Iraqi Jews. Their features are Iraqi. It will be interesting to test DNAs.
Dina Ibrahim many non-jewish Iraqies are actually originally jews,
before the Islamic Caliphate Iraq had the biggest jewish population in the world, many of them converted to Islam by the Caliphate (mostly by force). plus according to the bible Abraham was borned in Iraq so all the jews are originally Iraqies.
Yes I also recognize them. The blue/turquoise eyes. My dad has those too.
@@Yuval012 so the claim of their homeland being Israel?
I am Moroccan and I do the same with Moroccan Jews, I can easily say
Liran c not all the Jews !
Please don’t tell me Indian /Ethiopian etc are all Iraqi . You are so ignorant
"Mizrahi" of course, is a catch-all term that refers to Jews of many backgrounds, not all of whom came from Arabic-speaking lands, so just on those grounds it would be inaccurate to call an Iranian Jew or a Bukharan Jew an Arab Jew (but they are included as Mizrahim).

Who hath believed our report ? For and to whom is the arm of lord Lord revealed ?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath
No form nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a men of sorrows , and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our grief , and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was
all .
He was oppressed , and he was afflicted , yet he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter , and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openers not his mouth.
He was taken from prison
From judgment: and who shall declare this generation? For
He was cut off out of the land of the living: for he was cutting off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence , neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him ; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin he shall see his seed , he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul , and shall be satisfied : by
His knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many ; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore Will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the spoil with the strong ; because he hath pored out his soul unto death : and he was numbered with the transgressor ; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

I listen to Mizrahi Music and it’s got a very strong Arabic flavor to it. Besides Abraham is the father of the Hebrews and Arabs, so they are brothers.
Fun fact: That Arabic Flavor is the original Hebrew
You mean mostly Arabic flavor to it.
Coz arabic after invaded Iraq took all heratige and erekate it to them
Mizrahim "Arab" Jews are the original jews.
pgbk87 Mizrahim and ashkenazim as genetically as close as fifth cousins
pgbk87 Most Jews in Israel are from Arab countries. The new generations are mostly mixed Half Ashkenazi/Half Mizrahi.
***** wow, original jews is a theory now? what a deluded individual. Research the the khazar empire.
pgbk87 Ibrahim(AS) had 2 sons, *Ishmael*(AS) and *Isaac*(AS).
Isaac(AS) later become the father of Jacob(AS), It is from Isaac(AS) that *the children of Israel trace their roots.*
&
It is from Ishmael(AS), Ibrahim’s (AS) first-born son, that *the people of Arabia trace their lineage.* Thus can two peoples, *the Jews and the Arabs, trace their beginnings back to a single ancestor, Ibrahim (AS),* the father of Ishmael(AS) and Isaac(AS).
*That's true to say that both the jews and arabs are both Semite but they have their differences in roots but again who cares ...*
If you care about these things, then you have some soul searching to do.
***** How very ignorant of you to ask for a archaeological evidence for a person that has been passed away for thousand of years.
With Historical proof (writing), What kind of a serious mind rejects a evidence in written form (Either be it religious or non-religious)?
I think you just don't want to believe he never existed! so you can continue living in your deluded lifestyle. *Go right ahead and stop bothering us with your ignorance please.*
you should rephrase the question..
do u consider yourself an Arab?
Hahahaha yeah
Arabs and Jews are cousins by blood. I am an arab muslim and the Quran tell us that we are both decendents of the Prophet Abraham (Peace be onto him). Their faith is also the closest to Islam in it's foundation and source. So we are cousins in blood and faith.
But are today's Jews really from the Children of Israel mentioned in Bible and Qur'an?
Falamu445 From an Islamic point of view it doesn't matter. Islam doesn't care about people's race, skin colour ect. However it's relevent when it comes to jewish claims about being the chosen people of God, that God made them his favourite and that he promised them the land of Palestine. There is a strong theory backed with genetic evidence that between 80-90% of the jews today are not connected to the midle east. They are called Ashkinatzi Jews. They are from Europe by blood and history and it is said they originally come from Khazaria which is south of Rrissia/Ukraine.
FeralglanceBengals Actually genetic tests showed that 89% of Ashkenazim are indeed descended from middle east. Only 11% had a gene that could mean that one of their ancestor was east European convert. Notice that it's a single gene.
But it really doesn't matter, because Judaism doesn't discriminate people over skin color. Even if you converted yesterday, you're still Jewish. According to Judaism stance, converts are people who were born with Jewish souls and just happened to be born into non-Jewish families and found their way back. For most intents, they're considered just as jewish as those that were with Moses at mount Sinai... So racial doctrine don't apply. The flesh don't matter, only the soul.
sn00piedog That's the whole point... It isn't. One of the origins of Jew-hatred is BECAUSE their communities were relatively closed, and didn't mingle with their non-Jewish neighbors. When looking for a match (they often used arranged marriage, as the majority of the world did, and some still do) they would sometime travel hundreds of kilometers to other Jewish communities. There were exceptions, sure.
For children born of rape, the community still took them in, and raised them as Jews.
And of course in the case of converts. But since unlike Christianity and Islam, Judaism isn't a missionary religion (meaning they aren't actively trying to convert people), the conversion process is very long and rigorous, meant to test the convert resolve as well as his knowledge of Judaism. So, this two cases represent the exception rather than the rule. As I said, barely 1 in 9 Ashkenazi Jews can be scientifically claimed that one of their ancestors wasn't born Jewish.
why can't there be more Muslims like you?
Shalom :)
You always hear Israel haters saying Israel is a white racist colonist country. I don't know if they're ignorant or just deliberately ignoring middle eastern Jews. Not that it matters since even ashkenazi Jews are proven to be of Levantine heritage by genetics testing.
Outside politics,
Jews should be more proud of their middle eastern origins, they're semitic and cousins of Arabs not europeans.
Arabs too should stop considering Israelis as enemies, and be proud that both are of the oldest people on earth.
THat was nicely said.
Isr*el is an Apartheid colonial state, that's built on top of palestine then filled up with jewish colonizers & refugees who came from all over the world after displacing Indigenous palestinians, I have nothing against jews, and the arab world is made of amazing people from many ethnicities, maghrebis,Amazigh,Palestinians(Canaanites),Phoenicians,Egyptians,Sudanese,kurds,Somalis,iraqis(Mesopotamians),Assyrians and Ethnic arabs, and with many religions muslim,Christian,Jewish,druze,bahai and with even more sects within those religion's, they make the Arab world, isr*el is a foreign presence within this region that's occupying palestine and stealing palestinian land
Well, Ashkenazi Jews do not consider themselves European as well (generally speaking), both groups see themselves as Israeli Jews, so your argument is kind of irrelevant.
Arab Jews exist but the European Jews didn't like it so they made them think they're not Arabs ..... It's because of racism and brainwashing...... But nowadays more people know the truth, the truth always comes out.
As long Palestinians are being oppr.ssed they will be seen as enemies.
Like Europeans saw Germans as enemies during German nazi occupation.
Let them stop behaving like the chsn ubrm'ench then things could change.
I'm a Muslim from japan, People call me an Arab.

+yatamato lol are they japanese who call u arab?
4:06 His eyes are fucking awesome.
I am Arab. At 18 Years old I left Yemen, and when meeting people in the west I get mixed questions if I am Arab or Jewish, that is when I realized we look alike. It never offended me. If you are from a region of the world to the rest of the world you look alike even between us we can tell the difference they can’t. To us all white people look alike, all Asians look a like, nothing to be offended of, it is regional. Having said that, I think in Israel the European Jews are the higher class in Israel and they look down on Jews that came from Arab and African countries.
What is Israel? I see all these people claim they are from that place but when you see their origins are not from there. They are moroccans, iraqis, yemenis, polish, russian, bulgarian all but I dont see that their DNA is the same that of the people that lived thousands years ago there.
You can come back home 😢, i'm yemeni too
and we the black jews?
@@Juuuq Those are our diaspora locations.... we were never treated like we were from there, it was always "go back to where you come from" so we decided to do it, now we have Israel where we all link to genetically when you go far back enough. Ashkenazi genome is 1/2 European 1/2 Levantine.
My parents would disagree with your last statement, my father a Polish Jew and my mother a Syrian Jew came together to have me and I've never felt any sort of "higher class", neither has my father, nor my grandparents. We look Arab and we don't get offended when someone calls us Arab, but we are not Arab. It's just a fact.
North Africa people have not arab background, they have bereber or amazigh background. Berebers were arabized in 7th centuries but not al all. Even now they have their own culture and language in many places. Also, north Africa sefaradim have iberian roots (Sefarad= Spain).
Yes but dont forgot there were jews who lived there from the time of the expulsion after the destruction of the second temple. They were not from spain, but were later still refered to as sephardim.
Divide and rule, says the British.
Hahahaha
Also USA democrats
well it worked well with the muslims arabs since they kept fighting among eachother
but it didnt work well with the jews since the jews are cool with eachother and other people regardless of ethinicity as long you dont try to hurt them.
@themako990mako9 you're obsessed
It depends on how you define Arab. They mainly don't speak Arabic anymore (often how Arabs are defined) but the culture is obviously Arab. My experience living with Mizrahim for 20 years is they are a "light-version" of Arabs- similar culture, just a little more Westernized.
you mean Ashkenized (Zionised) :)
Just as there are Arab Christians and Arab Muslim in the Middle-east and Africa
But they are still Arab. similarly they are Arab-Jews of Middle-east and Africa
Just by speaking Modern Hebrew won’t change their identity. :)
@@abdullahalrai Jews are Jews are Jews it makes no difference where they are or where they are from.
@@abdullahalrai so sad how they are poisoned by Zionism
Honestly, I think they just are. Sure because of where they live, and the Ashkenazi dominant culture in Israel, the Arab Jews have had an identity crisis spanning decades. That does not discount the culture, similar complexion, rituals as their Arab Jewish forefathers.
Solution: to deport all ashkenazi and with ashkenazi background to Europe, and to give the state to the indigenous of the land

Thanks for making these videos, Corey. They are Eye-opening to say the least. I've learnt a lot from your videos.
Why the hell is being an 'Arab' considered to be an insult? Arabs are awesome people. Arabs created the numbers we use today (1,2,3..etc), invented chemistry (Geber), and so much more. If I was an Arab I'd be proud as fuck.
Suspicious Milk Arabs have made a lot of advancements in science and mathematics, even if they learned the numbers from the Indians.
we are simply not Arab. the Mizrahi are not Arab, and the Mizrahi are not European. we are all Israeli.
no you are not , but we are all humans just like every one else living on this tiny pebble called earth , i wish one day we can over come our hate so we can have better life and start exploring the galaxys
+Joseph Anton i think thats wrong history...no proofs that Arab use indian number. we use arabic numerals today not hindu numerals. almost all sciences flourished in Islamic civilizations from Quran and Islamic teachings...not from hindu.
+alley shatree these numerals are called Adad Ul Hind (Indian Numerals) in Arabic Language . I advise you plz go to school first before commenting here
Anyway , the religion of Islam and Arab culture was stolen from Jews and as well the entire Islamic Shariah is stolen from Jewish Tohrah and Prophets stories too...
Your prophet was the first person who claimed that the Quraish tribe is the descendant of Ishmael the son of Abrahim and his slave girl Hager and your Prophet Hadith claim that Ishmel learned the Arabic language from a Arab tribe of Mecca (even according to fake islamic claim only Qurashi are the descendants of Ishamel not other Arabs , even there is no historical evidence of it too )
This pride and sens of respect, no matter where we're from, is beautiful to see.
I wish much blessings to the man who rightfully said "We're all ONE".
Peace out
It's funny how Israelis often think of 'Arab' as an identity and not an ethnicity. Many of them will say "yes, my parents were when they lived in Syria, Iraq, Yemen etc." but not anymore... Also, Corey, there aren't Arabs in Morocco, safe for a few people of mixed ancestry. So Moroccan Jews were never Arabs ethnically, but might have shared some common features culturally.
Because being an Arab is an identity except for people of Arabian decent, most people that live in the “Arab world” were Arabized meaning they either speak Arabic have an Arab culture and practice a religion that is of arab origin.
@@arielm6613not true.
arab is about language
, nothing else right now.
@@lets_wrapitup so search up the term Arab, it will give you 2 definitions: 1- someone of Arabian decent i.e ethnicity. 2- someone who was “Arabized” meaning they speak Arabic and practice the arab culture and traditions. This means that those Jews who lived in Arab countries are no long “arab” after leaving because they no longer speak the language and practice arab culture
@@arielm6613 that’s assuming they were of non-arab descent. There is no evidence to suggest that.
4:06 Holy hotness, Batman! I'll take one of those, please.
Lol :)
A Yo Do you like me too? Cat girl
A Yo lol
A Yo you will find many of them in Iraq
A Yo for me I see that his origins is not from iraq !! his origins maybe from iran (parsian) or afganistan or nearby
So being an arab in Israel is like being black in the 60s?
***** there's no more Jews in the Arab countries but a little minority in Morocco who live happily in that country
maybe try being a Palestinian in Israel !!!
Naime Omar
I see Palestinian doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers every day.
Naime Omar
try getting the right to vote in a country around Israel. Because that is a right you would/have in Israel.
JohnDoe22 Many Arab countries have that right... Egypt,Libya,Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, etc. I think your problem is that you think all Arab countries are like Saudi Arabia which is very wrong.
oh yeah Egypt where they killed a lot of Muslim brotherhood members (< not so demoratic) Syria? Arabia? maybe its wrong but at least people can easily live there.. even westerners, can live at ease there if they obey by local rule which makes sense cause you are in that country..
4:16 wow he’s gorgeous look at them eyes. Could melt my heart
Mizrahi Jews are not Arab. They are Hebrew. Mizrahi and Ashkenazi DNA are the same. This has been proven. We are the indiginous people of the land of Israel who fled to other countries when the Romans expelled us. We never used these terms growing up. These terms are divisive. We are simply Jews.
Agree
Well, not exactly. The Ashkenazi are heavily European on the maternal side, though they match up paternally with the Ashkenazis. I mean they look somewhat different. In reality, a lot of the Mizrahim have a lot of Sephardim ancestry from the 1500s.
Yeah ofc the Ashkenazi Jews who lived in Europe for the last 2k years have the same DNA with mizrahi Jews who lived in the middle east for the last 2k years and ofc they both have the same DNA with Ethiopian Jews
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS I mean to be fair the diaspora was 3000 years ago so they left and obviously they mixed with European peoples as well but they are still Judean
Bullshit the jews who were exiled 2000 years go didnt go to rusia, poland ukrain or germany. They went to morocco yemen irak iran etc. They are the real jews. The european so called jews are in reality khazars who converted to judaism once upon time
Gorey I like your videos and I just subcribed. Thanks from Cairo.
The young man who says '...we are all one...' This simple belief would have saved thousands of Palestinian (& Israeli) lives in recent weeks. The indoctrination & ignorance of people is unbearably tragic.
That last guy had the most beautiful blue eyes:)
He smoked that good meth
Yes. Jews are not Arabs, we're Jews. Know the difference. The Middle East has many ethnic groups not just Arabs. Jews, Samaritans, Arameans, Kurds, Assyrians, Persians, Maronites, Mandeans, Copts, etc.
Yes, but all are Semitic people's and from the same genetic family tree. It's the religious divide that separates both.
wovokanarchy Extreme oversimplification.
ForeverRepublic
I thought being Jewish was a religious identity, similar to being a Muslim being a religious identity?
wovokanarchy Well it is but it's not only that. Jews are an ethnoreligious group like Armenians, Assyrians, Irish Catholics, etc.
Religion is not the only reason why we're fighting.
+ForeverRepublic Not really, many Arabs converted to Judaism. Semites often mixed, so many Arab Jews likely have some Arab blood. I am a Yemeni Arab and I think it's possible that I have Jewish blood in me. There's a rumor that my great grandmother was a Yemenite Jew (convert to Islam). It's devastating.
lol just kidding with the last line.
It's sad some have to deny their heritage. If your born in morrocco you should be proud of it. Most Jewish Moroccans are amazigh and few arabs.
They’re jews genetically
Lol how can someone be jew and at the same time "amazigh"? Arabs and israelites descend from one father, while amazigh father is unknown
They are not Arab Jews; that's a contradiction. They are Mizrachi Jews, period, and of the Jewish people.
yes its because jewish is ethnic group and arab is an ethnic group.
We were Arab Jews before we came to Israel and were sprayed with disinfectant because y’all thought we were animals. The term mizrachi only exists so white ashlanaz could differentiate themselves from us, we were Arab Iraqi jews before Israel bull shit divisive and racist politics. Israeli society try’s to disconnect us from our Arab roots and that fucked up because maybe if we realized we weren’t that different from the enemy there would be peace but governments don’t want peace they want an enemy so they can control the minds of the population.
Are the Mizrahim Jews closest, in terms of biology, to the original Hebrews thousands of years ago? Considering the Mizrahim never left the area wouldn't they be genetically Hebrew as opposed to European Ashkanazi Jews?
Yeshayahu ben Pinchas Cohen
Oh yeah, but the Mizari Jews are the real Jews as opposed to the Ashkkanazi Jews who are Jews in name and religion only.
Yeshayahu ben Pinchas Cohen
No doubt, but so remote that their European blood is predominately their entire DNA makeup.
ForeverRepublic
All the European looking Jews sure have me fooled.
wovokanarchy Why? Because some of us have fair skin? That is perhaps the stupidest argument you could have made. Many ethnic groups in the Levant can pass for European, here are some pictures:

Only stupid Americans think everyone from the Middle East is brown. The Middle East has dozens of ethnic groups. Jews, Samartians, Maronites, Copts, Aramean, Druze, Kurds, Persians, Assyrians, Mandeans, etc. Some are lighter than others.

I've lived in New York and all the Jews I knew looked European, One couldn't even distinguish the difference myself and my Jewish friends.
Wow , the last guy is stunning!
My ovaries exploded watching the last guy and I don't even have ovaries.
Lol!
@Karma Chameleon stfu
most Israelis are mixed race. love that
peace
yet some Ashkenazi teach their children that Ashenazis are not white. Yet, DNA proves that they have 85% white/European mtDNA. Jewish needs to be embraced as what it really is - a religion.
Yes, Ashkis are 85% white matrilineally, you forgot to mention they are 85% middle eastern paternally, Ie half and half. We are a religion, but we are also a nation. Where can’t we both like we also have been without people telling us who and what we are?
Whether we are white or Middle Eastern or somewhere in between doesn’t matter, we are Jews, our own nation.
Edit :”why can’t we be both, like we always have been”
Typo :)
@@shmuelp4504 long ago, israel was a nation and then for centuries it was not and now it is again. america and australia are nations, too - mixed race, mixed religion, mixed ethnicities- so to call jews a nation is a bit silly in this day and age. and you leave out all of the athiests who grew up in Jewish homes, but realized that religion is crap and that there is no god. culture does not completely bind jews either, becuase shephardi, hasidim, and ashenazim, for example, don't share all of the same traditions. i am told (not sure) that some segments of jews believe (unlike most other jews) that the holy land and even much of the holy text is all allegory and shoudnt be taken literally -might be Hasidim who think this way, unsure. so, jews are only loosely bound to some things. I think the desire to belong to a group sometimes makes people a bit illogical.
The two pure Iraqi dudes are so 🔥🔥
These questions (and answers) are a bit misleading. Many Israeli-born Mizrahi Jews will indeed describe themselves as being Moroccan, Iraqi, Yemenite etc. if that is where their families came from, they do not deny that. But they don't feel they are Arab. It's just not part of their identity.
I don't know, but I assume Israeli people of Moroccan origin are attached to Morocco, aren't they?
Hatim AKNNI
Yes. just because they and the rest of Mizrahi jews dont identify as arab doesnt mean they dont like their culture
@@michaelacohen3308 so mizrahi came from Arab country, but they were not Arabs?, is it correct to say they were Israelis/Jew living in those arab nations.

I love how the second guy thinks that being called “Arab” is an insult and compares it to being called an “assh*le”
No he think all arabs hate him as a jew ...thats why he said ..."why give them the honor" by identfying a an arab jew

Hello everyone I'm a religious Jew And I live in Morocco I consider myself A Moroccan Jew And not a Moroccan Arab Jew
Because it is believed Jewish conflict The Arabs are descendants Of Yashmal According to Judaism there is no Arab people with Ishmaelite And the Jews were originally descendants of Jacob whom God called Israel Because of this there is a difference in the Jews. It is not a religion. Originally, this people is called Hebrew. Because if they spoke Hebrew and the Arabs would ask that the father of the Arabs be above the Jews all over the world before they came to the Arab countries. Members of the same religion, but they do not uproot Jews because the Kingdom of Judah did not come despite the fact that the Jews and the Jews are one and I also want to say that in the Jewish religion
As a Mexican my self, I wouldn't feel offended if somebody calls me Hispanic or latino
+erick castro and if people call you spanish?

I've never called spanish, but that will probably piss me off just a little, not because I hate spanish people but beause of ignorance being shown.Some people from countries like el salvador are called mexicans, and that annoys them a lot.They can't differantiate between ethnic group and nationality
+erick castro ..Arabs are semites, but not all semites are arabs. This is why arabs, kurds and jews dont want it mixed up. But after watching this video it's obvious that most israelis dont care so much if other people get it mixed up.

@@LastNinjaBB6 Judaism is a religion. How the hell does a Ethiopian, a Pole, and. Moroccan who speak separate languages and have different ethnicities somehow are in the same ethnicity?
Interesting answers no doubt! This has always been a fascination of mine. The affiliation of the middle eastern cultures in Israel or how someone identifies
Ethnic Arab are from the Arabian Peninsula only. Morrocans, Iraqis, and Palestinians are Arabized, or Arabic speaking nations, but they are not ethnically Arab.
For example, everyone in America speaks English but not all of them are also ethnically English.
Wrong. Arabian peninsula are not originally Arabs. Eastern Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait were Dilmun. They spoke their own Akkadian like langauge and later spoke Aramaic. UAE and Oman were known as Maggan. They also spoke their one language. Yemen and southern Saudi Arabia were Himyarite, Sabaen, Qataban, Hadhramitic, etc. Peninsula was mostly not Arab until the Islamic conquest. The oldest Arabic and Arabs come from Jordan and southern Syria. Look up the Qedarite empire. It was the first Arab state and it was definitely not in peninsula. This is a common misconception I keep seeing. Plz do your research.

Also there is a specific Hebrew nusakh (liturgical prayer rite) that is called nusakh eidoth ha MizraH, that is used commonly by different groups of Mizrahi Jews--whether they have roots in Arabic-speaking lands like or Iraq or in Persia or Bokhara, where Farsi-Jewish dialects were traditionally used by the Jews--some people say Mizrahi means that--but it has nothing to do with Arabs.
Arab simply means anyone who speaks/Spoke arabic as a mother tongue! an Arab doesn't necessary mean someone from Arabia!
For example I'm Iraqi of Sumerian/Turcoman origin, but I speak Iraqi Arabic, therefore I consider myself an Iraqi Arab! ברכות של אהבה וכבוד מבצרה לכל יהודי עיראק :))
@drc ula Arab identity isn’t the same as thousands of years ago. If you want to talk about stupid genetics, then the only Arabs would be in Jordan, southern Palestine, Sinai, eastern desert, Tabuk, western Iraq, and southern Syria. The rest are all Arabized. And yes, that would also mean majority of Saudi Arabia isn’t Arab. But that’s a stupid definition. Arab culture evolved and branched out with its language spreading and remaining for thousands of years now with Arabic civilization.
@@panarabunity6077Some Arabs came from Ishmael(as) son Of Abraham(as)but true Arabs came from around Yemen which Yemen have a Jew population also.
The last guy is gorgeous!
I live in Haifa and I have Sicilian ancestry. I love my Arab neighbors and feel more comfortable in their culture than the Ashkenazified Jewish sector. My neighbor is an Arab woman and she has taken me to her mother's home. No Jew has befriended me to that extent.
Sicily was under Arab Occupation for a some time in the past just like Spain. In fact the Maltese Language is a Semitic language descended from Siculo-Arabic.
The problem with this type is question is that, genetically speaking, these are not clearly distinct categories. Jews can trace their roots to indigenous Cannanite populations, which over time developed a distinct identity via a via their neighbors. These are cultural and social distinctions that become conflated with genetic distinctions. studies show that Israelis and Palestinians share significant ancestry. Additionally, most Muslims in the region identify as ethnically Arab, but one only need compare a person from Northern Syria and a person from Saudi Arabia to notice the cosmetic differences (i.e skin tone, hair texture etc.)
Too bad that one guy doesn’t feel the need to positively acknowledge his roots.

We are Jews, proud Jews!!.. When our families lived in Arab countries, they called us Jews. When our families lived in European countries, they called us Jews. Now that we have returned to our ancestral homeland, the Jewish homeland, they have the audacity to call us Arabs and Europeans.
FYI, Mizrahi means Eastern. Referring to Mizrahi or Mizrahim, simply means Eastern Jews.... NOT Arab Jews!!
You can only dream of My Land!! Hands down, the best comment on this page
When Jews lived with Arabs they were called Jews just like the Christians were called Christians. It was just a way of identifying each other. It is the same in all countries around the world. Arabs And Jews are family and have lived together for many thousand years. Jews were Arab Jews till the creation of Israel. Today, there are still many Jews that identify as Jewish Arabs. Peace to all who seek peace. Greetings from Jordan.

Jews lived in Arab countries as 2nd class citizens, and every once in a while got slaughtered by their bloodthirsty Arab neighbours for sport. That's the historical truth
Lubliana Same thing in Europe.
At least until the 19th century and the emancipation. And then you've got the Holocaust.
Lubliana that is just propaganda and lie . if what you saying is right maybe you will never have a jewish arab called it what you want .example from my country morocco : if what you saying is true how come that more than almost 2 millions jewish from moroccan background live in isreal today and maybe the same number in europ and usa canada ? and a lot of them still in morocco till today .
I like these videos bc even though im not a jew it shows love for all people
So here the deal , I am Lebanese and so are my parents and so forth south Lebanon .. there was a debate that we have Jewish ancestors. Me and my cousins did a DNA test and the results were more than 30 percent on both sides with Mizhrahi Jew and only 31 percent middle eastern. So my argument is now wtf are you fighting us for... we belong to the Land
Unfortunately identities and ideologies were never based on science to begin with, so really I think people care more about their perceived identity rather than what genetic say, although maybe if somehow you convince everyone that we are all the same it may also impact behavior, but that would be a highly unlikely task to achieve in and of itself.
we used to live in peace with you Jews
My name is Mizrahi and im very proud of my family and background
It's a theoretical race called Jewish. But then again all races are theoretical - which does remind us that every group that has tried to racially separate themselves from another hasn't had good intentions, or consequences.

0:45 this person equated the term "arab" to someone calling you "asshole"...
these are some great people!!
I think almost all of them interpreted the question as: how would you feel if somebody insulted you (by calling you an Arab) instead of: how would you feel if somebody mistook you for an Arab/ views Arabs and Mizrahim as similar.
@@JawnBoyd-rt9gdthe idea of that being considered an insult combined with the fact that many of them have been killed by settlers by accident shows a level of racism that is undeniable to anyone who is at least a bit impartial.
basically, the question itself, adopted by this content provider, is misleading. Palestinians among others in the "Arab world" are not really Arabs, still we speak Arabic and have a nearly common approach on major topics. I as a Palestinian consider myself an Arab, even if Saudis are on the other side of Palestinians. it's not more than an accumulated cultural awareness.
I’m Muslim from the US so don’t have much experience with Jews but I’ll say the ones I’ve met that were Moroccan or Yemenite have been extremely pleasant. Also those that wear the suits that look Russian. Have nothing but good to say about them.
We hope Iraqi Jews would come back to Iraq, you have left a great void. Iraq needs a balance right now, Jews and Christians could go back and claim their place.
and during the conflict israel will get condemmed for winning the three day war when the arab nations will have there asses handed to them

As there are Arab Muslims, Christians, Druze Arabs you also have Jewish arab. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I am a second generation yemen Jew in Israel. My cousins are Muslim Arabs sons of Ismael. No matter amch Ashkenazi determined in the past generations to push as to forget our history, we, the Arabs Jews will go back to our roots. The way we read the Torah and the way we prayed. in Israel we had a lot of racism that cem frome Ashkenazi to Mizrahi, today it's less but still exists in many places just it's not showed. The funny thing is that Europe did not even know about mizrahi Orientals only Ashkenazim and Sephardim. When I talk with an Arab in Europe is shocked how similar we are. [and NO, I will never forget about the Yemeni children that been kidnapped by Ashkenazi Jews when we got 1st to Israel]
asaf158 you should check genetic studies about yemenite jews, most of them are in fact jewish Arabs. 2000 years there was a kingdom in Yemen called Khemyar and they converted to judaism, so Yemenite jews are allmost excactly the same as non-jewish Yemenites.

0:44 so being called a Arab is like being called an asshole, what scumbags
You have to understand how Jews were treated under Arab rule. Most Middle Eastern Jews have very negative views of Arabs based on what their parents and grandparents went through
Only a little. Alot of Hebrew slang comes from Mizrahim using Arabic words. But most couldn't carry on a conversation. Only the older generation who lived in Arab countries or worked with Arabs before the intifadas.
I love the heavy racist vibe in the comments, contrasted with the very laid back answers in the video.

this question implyng that being arab is a bad thing.
No. the person who asked is a Lebanese German Muslim Arab who spent time in Israel researching Mizrahim. I don't even understand what you mean.
Well, not all Mizrahim have roots in Arab countries--I guess technically Aramaic-speaking Jews from Iraqi Kurdistan lived in an Arab country, but it doesn't apply to Persian Jews, Bokharan Jews, Afghan Jews, Indian Jews, etc. The other thing is that most of us Mizrahi Israeli Jews who have roots in Arabic-speaking lands no longer speak Arabic fluently if at all (maybe parents/grandparents do) and most of us never really identify as Arab, per se. Not that it's bad to be Arab, but it's not us.
You speak modern Hebrew, then you are an Arab, if you speak Torah Hebrew then you are also an Arab. Welcome to middle east
@@prsimoibn2710Are you just trolling, or is accepting that Arab hegemony actually took over the then diversity of Middle Eastern culture (like Syriacs, Punics, Coptics, Arameans, etc.)?
So the bottom line seems to be: most think it is a wrong description, but not an insulting misconception
This baffles me... If a couple from let's say Japan moves to Saudi Arabia for example, and they are Muslims, their children will be ethnically Japanese. It's like asking those children if they are offended if someone calls them Japanese just because they're Muslims living in Saudi Arabia a Muslim majority country.
+Sarsu P ....eh no you dumb fuck, nothing offensive with the word "Arab"

+Umar Ali ..This is why kurds dont call themselves arabs and alot of other people in lebanon, syria dont call themselves arabs. And many Iranians call themselves persians... and so on... I guess that jews do the same.
They want more details than just saying semitic... and arabs, kurds and jews are different kinds of semitic people but all are not necceserily arabs even if they are genetically close. I think people mix up the word "semite" with "arab".
It's the same in europe. Even if we are Aryans there still are different kinds of aryan people.
LastNinjaBB6 Ahh, that makes so much more sense now haha! Thanks!
+Umar Ali Well, that's a little different, since British presents you as part of the joint confederate known as "Great Britain", which is actually right. A more fitting example would be if you class yourself as English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish, depending on where exactly you were born in Britain, and you have to admit, it will be rather weird/funny if you'll start presenting yourself as Scottish.
itaibh1 I agree, I was born in England. But im British Pakistani
+Umar Ali You weren't kicked out Pakistan. These people were kicked out of Arab countries for being Jews. Why the hell what they want to identify as Arab?? Arabs should just be happy they don't harbor more resentment than they do.

I’m 38% Ashkenazi 37% European ( not Jewish) and 25% mizrahi but I consider myself as arab
Elhaik’s study, published in the British journal Genome Biology
Palestinians are the real owners of the land
70 to 80% of Jews are Ashkenazim, and according to Elhaik's study, that was done in Maryland university, Ashkenazim are not from the middle east.
Why don't you ask a question related to this study?
Eren Elhaik is one scientist who has been dismissed by all of his colleagues and has been caught manipulating data to support his khazar theories (compare Yiddish to Turkish vs. Hebrew, and ask yourself where Ashkenazi culture comes from originally)
70-80% of jews arent ashkenazi
Israeli's have roots in many different cultures so any israeli citizen should not exclusively be defined as anything other than Israeli. since their roots are so diverse.
The last guy his eyes wow
Hehehehe.
70% of Jews are Ashkenazim worldwide. In Israel they make up about 33%. But even that is difficult to measure because most people are mixed (Ashenazi/Mizrahi). Plus genetic tests show Ashkenazis are related to Palestinians. I don't know what that has to do with owning the land. You live in the US- are you not real? do you not own your home?

I don't understand. Is Judaism a religion, race, ethnicity, nationality, or what? Are all Jews related to each other?
