Wow someone is smart here

I have to say it hurts a bit to see this. I am an Arab Jew. My father's family came from Iraq and my mother's family came from Egypt. I eat Arabian food at home, listen to Arabian music and celebrate with my family and other "mizrahim" just like Arabs. We even call it by a specific name "Hafla" (party) ... My parents speak Arabic at home sometimes, a lot with my grandmother and my grandfather. My grandfather lived until the age of 16 in Egypt, almost all of his friends were Muslims. When he immigrated to Israel, he quickly connected with the local Palestinians. They lived together in the neighborhood for years. My house fits in with its character to an Arab house and when I bring home friends whose parents came from European countries, you can very quickly see how different our cultures are. How much my family is more like an Arab family than a *European* Jewish one.

I would love to give an explanation of this video for a moment. When immigrants from Arab countries arrived in Israel, European immigrants who were already in the country laughed at their dress and culture. My grandfather was told he was neglected because he was wearing "pajamas" (even though it was the traditional dress in Iraq). Refused to accept certificates of higher education that came from Arab countries. They did not give place in the country to their Arab culture, they (my grandparents) lived in Israel for the first decades in poverty. European Jews did not know how to communicate (and in my opinion did not really want to) with a large part of them (because they spoke only Arabic). They did not play a single Arab song on the radio, did not accept Arab Jews into kibbutzim, and did not allow them to live in the large and central cities. They were not accepted for higher education, etc. All this racist treatment that lasted even though the Jews of Arab countries were later the majority in the country greatly influenced the image of those Jews in my opinion. More than that, there has been (and still is) racism against Palestinian Arabs in the country, and all of Israel's enemies are Arab states. Therefore, it is very easy for a Jew to mix things up. If an Arab is my enemy in Iran then why am I an Arab like him? I am different from him ... by the way (and I will end with that), "mizrahim" (those who came from the East), is a word given to the Arab Jews because they really did not want to call them, and maybe not themselves, Arabs. Although that word is so misleading and incorrect. It may be true of Jews who came from India, but Moroccans? Spaniards? They are much more western. And I as an Egyptian? Egypt is located just below Greece, Ukraine, etc. It may be a bit south, but why are they not "mizrahim" like me?

@@David-yi1vo Nobody in Israel or Palestine is Arab anyway. Arabs are from the gulf countries in Arabia.

The guy at 7:40 had an insight. Jews with Arab heritage (from Arab countries, with Arab features, Arabic music, Arabic food, Arabic art, and Arabic language) might be quick to distance themselves from the Arab identity because the term "Arab" has taken on an alien status of being "the others" and "the non-Jews" in opposition to Jews. He admitted being uncomfortable with the term, as if it were a pejorative. The woman of Tunisian background at 5:05 revealed the same unease, saying her parents/grandparents did not like to be called Arab. Given the discrimination that Mizrahim faced from Ashkenazis when they first moved to Israel, I see why there was social pressure and personal desire to fit in, emphasize their Jewishness, and downplay or completely separate from Arab identity. But the logically there being Jewish and being Arab are not mutually exclusive categories. "Arab" is not a religion, it is an association with a language, culture, place. Not all Arabs are Muslims : Arabs subscribe to several religions and many sects across the Middle East, including Sunni, Sufi, Shia, Alawite, Menonite, Melkite, Catholic, Druze and traditionally Arabic-speaking Jewish communities too. Cory kept using the "but if an an Arab Muslim moved to the USA he would still be an Arab, so why not an Arab jew? " argument, but I think he contributed to the conflation and confusion between religion and ethnicity. He should have pointed out that even a Christian who comes from an Arab country is still an Arab when they move to another country, because they came from that culture, and their families spoke Arabic. On one level, an Arab is simply someone whose mother tongue (or that of their ancestors) is Arabic---regardless of religion. So it is possible to be an Arab and a Jew simultaneously. I feel like Cory missed an opportunity to clarify or to further interrogate the interviewees' assumptions. Finally, I did appreciate the interviews that recognized the complex history and diversity of the Middle East and North Africa. While there are Arabs of various religions, there are also non-Arabs who speak other native languages like Berber (Amazight, Tamazight, etc), Assyrian, Persian, Circassian, Nubian, Turk, Kurd, etc. Even if many share the same religion (E.g. Islam or Christianity), they do not consider themselves Arab because Arabic is not their native language. This is further evidence that the Arab label is not a religious identification but more a linguistic, cultural or geographic one. Lastly, every person and community has unique agency to define themselves how they want, within reason, which might not match how others identify them. These identifications have diverse motivations.

@@ef2718 that’s a very good question. So there are two types of Arabs. The pure Arabs (Qahtani/Yemenite) and the Arabized Arabs (Adnani). Qahtan is Joktan in the Bible. They both trace they’re ancestry back to Shem son of Noah. The pure Qahtani Arabs are arabs who originated from Yemen and spread out not only to the 22 arab countries in the Middle East but also east Africa and Indonesia. The Arabized Arabs are Arabs who are descended from Ishmael son of Abraham and gradually intermarried with the pure Arabs that originated from Yemen. The royal family of Dubai, Oman and many other countries can trace they’re ancestry back to Yemen while royal families like Al saud in Saudi Arabia go back to the Adnani Arabs as well as the prophet Mohamed and his tribe. Now when it comes to countries like Syria and Lebanon, you can see some of them are lighter skinned then Arabs. This is the result of the inter marriage between Turks during the 500 year rule of Ottomans. There might be even a few with Persian great great grandmothers. The Levant has seen many empires over the years. But the main tribes and the main dna goes back to Qahtani tribes that migrated out of Yemen way before Islam. Look up Al Azd tribe. This tribe from Yemen migrated out and founded the Ghassasinid Christian kingdom and actually a member of this tribe became emperor of Rome (please look up Phillip the Arab, who can believe an emperor of Rome with Yemeni tribal origin lol) Going back to Syria and Lebanon and even some Palestinians they look lighter due to the intermarriage with the Turks and other nearby groups of people. Similar to the Arab tribes that migrated to countries like Morocco or Algeria. The Arabs intermarried with the local berbers. You’ll find some with more or less Berber. Kind of like how you see some South Americans are lighter then others. Some have more Spanish blood while others have more indigenous American blood. There’s always that base country that different races originated from and spread and gradually married with other races. Another The intermarriage between Yemenite traders and Indonesians. Many Indonesians today can trace they’re ancestry back to Hadramout in Yemen.

Also anyone can be considered as jew as far as only their mother is jewish. A small portion of Europeans like Spaniards and south Italians have arabic roots and those have only been influenced in a small amount of time. Similar story happened with the turks, many of them have intermarried with greeks and most of them have a small amount of greek blood. It's statistically very unlikely or impossible for you not to have neither arab, European or west asian heritage.

May Assali, The term "Arab" makes sense when you think of Arabs as any person living in Arabic speaking countries. However, it's wrong to say all people in such countries are ethnically Arabian (i.e., indigenous to Arabia). What people need to understand is that Arabians conquered Mesopotamia, the Levant and North Africa and gradually imposed their language and identity in these regions leading. However, there were ethnic groups such as Jews/Israelite, Assyrians, Kurds and Arameans that were able to preserve their identity even though a large part of their population was converted to Islam and Arabized. This is what happened with part of my family that remained here in Israel and also with another branch of my family that returned from Spain about 500 years ago. You yourself appear to be ethnically Israelite (at least to some extant) judging by your family surname Assali. Do you have any close relatives that practice Samaritanism in Shrem or Holon?The Assali family also holds some presence in Damascus but its members are Muslims nowadays as a result of the forced conversion to Islam following the massacre of 1625 that occured in that city (back then under the rule of Pasha Mardam Beq).

It is my understanding that Jews are not just followers of Judaism. It is an ethno-religious group. Meaning, they are descendants of a certain ethnic group who historically follow Judaism. They can be from different countries where over the centuries they have assimilated to local regional cultures. But it does not mean that they became members of local ethnic groups. So, a Jew in Iraq 100 years ago would speak Arabic as his native tongue, dress like local Arabs, cook the same dishes as local Arabs, enjoy the same music and recite the same poetry. But it won't make him ethnically Arab. Just like a Jew in Germany a 100 years ago would speak a dialect of German as his mother tongue (Yiddish), dress like a German, eat like a German (even if kosher), enjoy the same music, read same books, watch same theater plays. But he would not become ethnically German. So, asking a Yemeni or Iraqi Jew if he/she identifies as Arab is like asking a Jew from Sweden if he is a Swede.

I always love these videos.

I totally get what they are saying. Their identity is being Jewish. Most people watching this have probably had their ancestors move continents and multi generations might be different religions.

It was like a plea that was like "here, you can still be Jews but look how great our values and practices are, you can combine them" so some did and started Hellenistic Judaism. That was a huge problem and cause of clash in Judea because traditionalists who rejected Hellenic influence fought with Jews who adopted some Hellenistic culture. Some of them did in fact discperse throughout the Mediterranean, So that part is true but he's kind of confused by exactly what Hellenists were in the context of Jewish history and he's overstating the relationship between Helenistic Judaism and the Jewish community in Morocco. First of all Hellenistic Judaism was practiced by JEWS, so the people who he's talking about who were Hellenistic Jews, WERE in fact Jews, or at least mostly so. These people didn't have "no connection with Jews". Additionally, the majority of those "Hellenistic Jews" who dispersed throughout North Africa largely converted to early Christianity, and therefore mostly disappeared. It was a very short stint of time and took place even before large groups of Jews migrated from Judea to the Maghreb. Additionally, these North African communities were much more concentrated closer to historic Judea like Egypt and Libya. Definitely not prominent in Morocco. The fact that his family retained a strong Jewish identity all this time and were Moroccan really makes it unlikely that he is descended from these Hellenistic Jewish people. Additionally, the fact that he was like "oh well the Tunisians were authentic Jews" also makes no sense because Morocco and Tunisia had VERY similar histories as far as Greek and Roman occupation and Jewish diaspora. And if anything, Tunisia would've been MORE likely to have been Hellenistic Jewish than Morocco, not the other way around. Also, there's plenty of historical evidence that NON Hellenistic, traditional Jews migrated to Morocco and Spain and Tunisia after the 2nd Temple fell and established communities completely independent of Hellenism. He contradicted himself a lot saying they were Greek and not Greek, that his family wants to say they're Europeans, and then goes on about how the DNA test by Deri COULD be Phonecian and that his dad's last name is Berber so he can't be but he forgets that Jews didn't HAVE last names until recently, and they often chose local non-Jewish adaptations of names when they were chosen so a last name doesn't indicate anything. I don't know. It's a real unlikely incident of connecting really abstract and unlikely scenarios when most of the facts say otherwise. If his family is STILL Jewish after all that time, it's more likely that they were Jewish all along.

That's like saying a Russian or Arabian child born and raised in Germany is German only because she speaks German as her first language or is a citizen thereof. As such, it only makes sense to consider most Sefaradi/Mizrahi Jews as Arabs in the sense that they have lived in Arabic speaking areas and spoke Arabic. Some of them do have Arabian origins though as a result of admixture with Arabians. It should be noted that the term "Arab culture" itself is ambiguous as it is mostly a combination of Arabic language with other elements of different North African and Middle Eastern cultures (Jewish, Aramean, Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Egyptian and Berber).

Yes, we know the difference between race, ethnicity, nationality and cultural identity. It's only you who's arguing that Jews think they can only be Jewish when in reality most Jews are perfectly aware that there are multiple forms of identity (biological, tribal, national, ideological, cultural...) . As for biology, the only people making dubious claims about Jews are ignorant and paranoid folks like you with no credentials on the field of human genetics who can't handle facts that obliterate their anti-Jewish myths. The truth is it's already proven through most genetic studies conducted by researchers from Israel, Europe and America that most Jews (Mizrahim, Sefaradim, Italqim and Ashkenazim) have ancient Levantine origins and are very closely related to each other in terms of male ancestry. It's only in terms of female ancestry that one finds relevant differences between them as Ashkenazim have a significant degree of Southern European female ancestry due to admixture in the past between Jewish men and Southern European female converts (mianly from Italy). In other words, they're ethnically Levantine and European but identify themselves firstly as members of the Jewish tribe and therefore as part of the nation of Israel, notwithstanding the fact that they may also identify themselves as citizens of other countries and embrace the local culture (if they live outside Israel).

As an mizrahi , Mizrahi Jews are not Arab. Judaism is an ethnoreligious is a grouping of people who are unified by a common religious and ethnic background. If you ask Mizrahi Jews whether they are Arab, the vast majority of them will tell you they are not. It will be similar to asking French people whether they are German. In both cases, most people will just think you are weird, and some will possibly be offended. It’s not because they hate Arabs, but simply because they are not Arabs. It’s just not how they ever call themselves. Maybe a tiny minority of Mizrahi Jews will tell you that they are Arab in one way or another, but it’s a matter of political opinion among some radical left-wing people. Also Falsely identifying Jews who's diaspora experience was in Arab countries as "Arab Jews" is a slap in the face to those Jews who were never allowed to refer to themselves as Arabs, were made dhimmis, and who were othered within Arab lands because they weren't arabs. But nationality, ethnicity, religion, and race are totally different things

@@mikailm6934 that's actually not correct. Many or most of them very much considered themselves Arabs, as well as Jews, before 1948 and the Zionist project. There were many Jews in the Arab nationalist movements in the respective countries they lived in and which they helped found and were part of their founding governments, including in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and the Maghreb. Some of them were anti-Zionist and rejected the Zionist movement and the call for the creation of Israel, while others ended up later embracing Zionism and were even part of the earliest Israeli governments. It's unfortunate not more is written or known about this by more people. A good book on the topic is called "The Arab Jews" by Yehouda Shenhav, an Israeli Jewish historian, who also identifies as Arab. He's also written some good articles on the topic that you can find online. The "Mizrahi" and "Israeli" identities weren't created until after 1948 by the Zionist movement. Before that, they identified by the countries they lived in and by the Arabic tongue and culture which they shared with other Arabs, so they commonly went by "Syrian Jew," for example, and some indeed called themselves "Arab Jews" because of the shared culture and language of the region which they belonged to and were a part of.

Thanks for your videos. I like the fact that you try just to report opinions without changing what people say, because these days it's easy to find biased information about this area. I want to add a simple thing to anyone who reads this comment. The two guys (I think it's around 11:00) said very interesting things, regarding the origins of Jews in North Africa. From what I have read i's very accurate, I really advice to read Shlomo Sand (the Invention Of Jewish people), or any other New Israelian Historians who have explained how a lot of Jews population (Yemen, North-Africa, European Askenaze) are actually converted Jewish. Again about the two guys, it's true that a lot of people in North-Africa are Greek, Italian origin people (which includes the Jews), and when he says that some North African consider themselves as Berbers, Kabiles, and not Arabs first is also true (talking about History, Algeria forced the arabification in the 90s in order to homogenize and create an Arab spirit ; talking again about History, the pure real Arab origin people are Yemenites, which includes Yemenite Jews which are converted Jews long time ago by a Yemenite king who visited the recent Hebrew people who defeated Canaan people and converted his people after being impressed)

Most comments here have no idea what they are talking about.. Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group. You can be an Atheist, and still identify as a Jew, through the Jewish culture. Arab identity can manifest through many things: the Arabian sub-race, the ethnicity, the culture, or simply the language. So, you can identify as an Arab Jew by being born to a mixed family, or because you lived among both cultures, or because you identify solely as an Arab but you practice Judaism...etc. At the same time, you can live all of your life among Arabs and still choose to be a non-Arab Jew/Assyrian/Kurd. Being someone who came from an Arab country, like some in the video, doesn't necessarily mean that they share more cultural ties with Arabs than Jews. You can identify as both, but you also are free to identify with only one of the cultures.

No they are Arabs and their DNA tests are proving it . Not a single Jew has evidence that their ancestors were ever in ancient Palestine ,but some can prove they are from the region . Neither could Palestinians .

Ethnicity, Nationality and Religion are not clearly defined and separate sometimes. For example, the word 'Jewish' associates with both ethnicity and a religion. Take the case of 'Indian' and 'Hindu' - both used to mean the same in their origin - a person from the Indian subcontinent, the land beyond the river Indus, as the Persians and Greeks saw it. 'Hindu' was the Persian name while 'Indian' was Greek. They meant the same because the region at the time was exclusively Hindu. But over time, other religions came in and 'Hindu' became the word to define the follower of the old religion, while 'Indian' became the term for ethnicity. But then other nations were carved out of the land like Pakistan, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka and people from other ethnicities (Europeans, Jews, Persians, Tibetans) started living in India. So 'Indian' became a nationality, and a proper term for aboriginal ethnicity today 'Asian' or 'South Asian'. But even then today, some people in the West use 'Indian' to indicate the ethnicity. So its easy for people to get confused between religion, nationality and ethnicity at times.

6:58 WOW! First time ever I've seen someone with similar roots to mine. My biological father is an Egyptian of both Arab and Nubian roots and my biological mother is Indonesian of Malay and Chinese roots. Like her, I'm often mistaken for "European."

Hi Corey, I enjoy watching your videos. I know I might not represent the majority of your viewers, but this video really got me thinking. There's a perception that Jews, especially European Jews, consider themselves a race. I think it would be fascinating if you could make a video where you ask a diverse groups of Jews, "What do you consider your race to be/What is your race?"

OMG they have roots from the whole world, and they just claim Palestine their home country. I am only from Palestine, my whole ancestors came from Palestine, they changed religion to Christianity after Jesus came, and then to Islam, and we never left the holy land untel we were forced by settlers, the parents and grandparents of those people in this video. However, now I cannot even go there for a visit. My grandfather has siblings who are now called Arab Israeli, and we never even met, but thanks to Facebook we could get to know each other. We live in such a messed up world, jungle life, stronger gets whatever they want.

Every one knows that the elite Arab families of Palestine trace their lineage back to the early Muslim conquerors from what is today Saudi Arabia. During the Middle Ages waves and waves of Arabians settled the Land of Israel, just like white people settled the old West. People also moved from one Muslim reagen to another like Americans move from one state to another. Yasir Arafat was born in Cairo and held Egyptian citizenship, yet he is considered Palestinian. Obviously, Palestinian-ness in 1948 was not a matter of ancient ancestery, but rather a matter of being Muslim (or maybe Arabized Christian). "Palestinian" is not at all what it's made out to be. How many Muslim Palestinian families have names like "Halabi" from northern Syria, "Masri" = Egyptian or "Mughrabi" = Morocan? How many "Palestinians" had no branches of their families outside Palestine before 1948? Not many, it seems to me. All the Muslims of Palestine pray to far away Mecca, while Jews all over the earth pray to Jerusalem and in Jerusalem Jews pray toward the Temple Mount. Muslims on the Temple bow to Mecca with their hinds raised up to the resting place of the Arc of the Covenant. Just look where people's faces are turned and you will know who they really are.

Originally, the question is how much immigration from Arabia has occurred throughout the centuries. The same goes for Israel (or Palestine for that matter) - it obviously had nothing Arab about it (perhaps except for North Arabian Nebateans in the late 1st millennium BC) until the Muslim conquering took place in the 7th century AD. The Palestinians claim to be an ancient indigenous ethnicity (while pointing out how the Jews are a mix of different ethnicities), but if you look through Corey's videos where he's interviewing Palestinians you can see how varied is their looks: some look like Arabs from Southern Arabia, some are white with fair hair and light eyes, and some look like black Africans.

I'm from indonesia there is a largest jewish community in indonesia at my province in north sulawesi 👍

I love the videos!The overwhelmingly underlying responses that I have heard is expression of equality and fairness.

They were treated as something different in Arab countries. It was never, hey we are all Arabs together. They were made aware by the Arabs that they were Jews, so why would they identify as Arabs? They recognise the countries their families were from are Arab but their familes were Jewish and their experience would have been somewhat different to that of the Arab Muslim populations.

"Judaism" just means "religion of the tribe of Judah." Before we were Jews, we were Israelites, and before we were Israelites we were Hebrews. This isn't the gotcha you think it is.

Many used the term "Arab Nationality" in the video which is wrong. There is no nation called Arab. Arab is an identity. It is not confined into a certain race/DNA. Interestingly, if you go back few centuries ago to the Levant including the Holy Land, you will find that the term "Arab" was reserved for Bedouins. Others identified themselves as "Shami" (Levantine) or by their religious affiliation as in a Jew, a Christian Orthodox, a Muslim, a Samiri, a Maroni, a Durzi, ..etc. Arab Nationalism and the Arabic identity started in the 18th century along with the rise of Nationalist movements around many parts of the world. But what I find peculiar about the answers is that those who follow the faith of Judaism in modern times feel exclusive ownership of the Holy Land with no regards to those who could have lived there continuously but changed their religion and identity over the centuries.

Not every person who speaks Arabic is an Arab. usually you can know a person ethnicity by his tribe in the middle east and north Africa. For example. I'm Hashmi therefore, I'm Arab. there are Hashmi people who speak Farsi, live in Iran, but they are known to be Arabs. same goes for Kurds, Amazighs, and Nubians.

Being Arab is like being Hispanic or Latin. This means that it is based on languages and not on ethnicity or race. Everyone who speaks Spanish is a Hispanic, everyone who Speaks a Latin language is Latin so whether you come from Mexico, Dominican Republic, Spain, Romania, Portugal, Brazil, France, Cabo Verde, Etc... you can be of multiple groups but you can identify with one and not the other or with all of them, but it depends on how you understand this for yourself.

My whole father's side of the family was exiled from Iraq, and although they have so much respect to the Iraqi food, culture and still speak arabic- there is that feeling that we are not wanted. I feel like on my mother's side from Iran it is much less obvious, Israeli Iranians are literally "all about Iran" and they are SO outspokenly proud of their heritage, but thaat is simply because Iran's approach to jews was never infact that bad.

Yes exactly! We keep up lots of traditions in my family-especially with food from own origins. It is not that we are ashamed- It is that we don't feel as if we fit into that category because they kicked us out of Arab countries. We don't really want to associate ourselves with people who don't want us/claim us or discriminate towards us. So instead of Arab, we use the term 'Mizrahi.’ I am Yemenite Jewish, and I am in no way ashamed of being a Yemenite. 🇾🇪✡️🇮🇱

If you have a Jewish grandparent or great-grandparent, you are allowed to become an Israeli citizen. You can also be an Israeli citizen if you are non-Jewish and have lived in the country 10 years, and pass a test. You can also be an Israeli citizen if your family are Arabs/Bedouins that live in Israel proper (not Gaza or West Bank).

The question of "Would you call yourself Arab?" was strange in that the Arab world covers such a diverse range of countries and racial subgroups. The Arab world stretches from the extreme west of north Africa to the Middle East." Perhaps the question "Does your heritage or daily life include elements of Arabic culture such as food, language or customs?" might have been more insightful

I don't see them as Arabs, to be honest. True Arabs are descendants of the early native speakers of Old Arabic while having roots in Pre-Islamic Arabia. Yemenite Jews, for instance, are historically Hebrew-speaking and/or bilingual.
