    I visited this community a month ago when I went to the gorgeous city of Nablus. I even met the dude getting married! I thought the kindness and hospitality of the Palestinian people was unrivalled, but the Samaritans were genuinely the most friendly, lovely and welcoming group of people I have ever encountered in my life. I didn't know anything about them before I went up the mountain, but many of the community came out and brought me around and showed me the first temple and told me their story and history. Everyone of them was an absolute legend! Much love to all the people of Palestine and Israel, from Ireland.

    Mount Gerizim but there is also Mount Ebal. In Arabic we call the mountains Jaba el-Nar means Mountain of Fire. The meaning behind Jabal el-Nar because its inhabitants played leading roles in fighting invaders through history since the periods of the Egyptian pharaohs.

    The original and biblical name of "Nablus" is *Shechem.* The term Nablus is an European colonial add on from the Romans who wanted to erase the Jewish connection to the land. (It didn't work for them :) The Romans also called *Jerusalem,* our eternal capital - "Aelia Capitolina". And they renamed our ancestral homeland - *Judea* to "Syria Palaestina".

    @@patriotsforisrael3610 much of Nablus does not fall within the original borders of Shechem, with the exception of Tel Balata that started off as a refugee camp in 1948 when the Zionists kicked native Palestinians from Jaffa, Akka, Haifa, and many countless villages that are under the current Israeli borders. Besides, multiple genetic studies have shown that most of the people of Nablus descend from the Samaritans of Mount Gerizim, so they originate from Shechem as well. Its just a name that stuck across history to that place, much like most of the places in modern times :)

    As to the new comment from 9+ hours ago (now deleted) by "MsJMan84": "Their religion and DNA is very similar to Ashkenazi Jews, according to studies" -- not really. 1.- In terms of both uniparental haplogroups and autosomal DNA, the Samaritans maintained all their Levantine ancestry and have no admixture from outside of western Asia (except for the Ukranian wives and those born of them). 2.- Samaritanism is closer to Judaism than any other religion, but it's actually closest to the Qaraite form of Judaism, whereas the AJs practice various forms of Rabbinical Judaism.

    This also proves that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is not about religion, which is how the state of Israel likes to market the conflict for obvious reasons of course. Israel wants to brainwash the world that this coflict is about antisemitism and has nothing to do with colonization, occupation, ethnic cleansing, dehumanization of Palestinians, denying their history and existence, and the biggest land theft ever that is still ongoing.

    Very happy to see Abdullah, who's done so much excellent work for his community and for explaining Samaritanism to the outside world. The wedding seems to be a very big thing, I hope it's not costing too much for him, or, that getting married is seen as being to expensive and something young people have to save a lot of money for and so postpone marrying, so as to keep face. If people marry late then they're likely to have fewer children, which is critical to the Samaritans existing. I'd like to have heard more about Adbullah's bride too - is she Samaritan or from outside the community. Good luck Abdullah - the last words by the narrator are basically telling you to have 4 or 5 kids!

More than 60% of the Israeli Jewish people have family connections to North Africa and the Middle East... Even those who come from Europe still have part of their DNA from the middle east. Everyone is mixed now, but as you know Palestinian people are also very mixed. They have Levantine, Turc, Greeks, Armenian, French, British, Arabs and other different ancestors...

    ​@@JupiterMoon7 Jews in Germany were not ethnicially Germans nor Slavic people. It's called diaspora for a reason. Karl Marx was called "the moor" by his fellow students at the University of Bonn, because of his swarthy complexion. His nationality and that of other Jews might have been German... until they were stripped of it. In imperial Russia there were three nationalities. 1.All-Rus (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian) 2.European (Poles, German Baltic) 3.Non-Europeans, the "Inorodtsy", like Uszbek, Kazakh, Tartar and on the bottom of them the Jews, the only group not able to gain citizenship. Jews are from the middle east habibi, always have been. Again, it's called diaspora for a reason. An Arab living in the diaspora in the USA, Europe or Australia is still an Arab and so are his children. Not so hard to grasp. The Palestinian identity on the other hand was adopted by Arabs only in the 1960s and there has never been a Palestinian nation. Before that the ones who were referred to as Palestinians were the Jews. Saramaritans have been around for thousands of years long before Arabs conquered the land. Palestinians are Arabized Jews and Samaritans (the indigenous people of the land) at best or Arabs and other Muslims from all over the Ottoman Empire. That's why it's called Jewish-Roman wars - not Palestinian-Roman wars. The Arch of Titus in Rome (which you can still visit today) depicts Jewish captives/slaves and booty such as the Menorah from the Jewish Temple. On the shields/standards of the Romans is written in Latin: "Legis Judaeorum" (the law of the Jews - the Torah), "Candelabrorem Judaeorum" (the Menorah of the Jews) and "Sacra Judaeorum" (the Holy of the Jews). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish%E2%80%93Roman_wars en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_of_Titus The coins the Romans minted also show a Jewish prisoner and have the inscription "Judaea Capta", not "Palaestina Capta". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaea_Capta_coinage Not a word about the "Palestinians" - Romans under emperor Hadrian renamed the land of Israel and Judea Province to (Syria-) Palaestina as a punishment for the Jews after the Jewish-Roman wars. You can't change history or falsify it. No matter how hard you try with your historic revisionism. Who are the Palestinians by a Hamas leader kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqVnuMZuYLbAfrA.html “There is no such country as Palestine. ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented.” - Awni Abd al-Hadi, Secretary of the Arab Higher Committee to the British 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. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. 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." "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." -PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, in a 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw.

We don't need to do more than point to the affair in Shekhem a.k.a Nablus in 1841, where the local Muslims almost massacred the Samaritans, but this was staved off only thanks to Jewish humanitarian intervention. This a$$wipe you've responded to seems to try blaming this affair on the Ottoman occupiers.

    ⁠@@Long-Ball-Larry a diaspora isn’t always genetically or ancestrally linked in this case it’s more of a religious and somewhat an ethnic/cultural link more then anything. That is other then the fact that Palestinians have a direct link to the ancient people as in the different Jewish tribes …. The reality you are missing is that Palestinians were arabizied they aren’t actual Arab rather the native population who adopted Arabic language and some cultural aspect, but remained distinct of the other arab groups both culturally and in their local dialect that they spoke. And Jordanians like the Palestinian have a similar culture and heritage but again if you look at ancient history you would know why… because the people who lived in Palestine also have families who lived in Jordan, and both countries have in the past aspired to unite under a federation …. So it’s not weird rather kinda fits with the history of the region… (and none of the levant people were ever replaced but ofc Israelis love to believe that is true because they think Arabs are a monolith even though genetic evidence shows they are pretty much a distinct group and are native to the area…)

    @@Klopp2543 I am talking about Israel proper, not the West Bank or Gaza Strip, only where israeli law applies. There is no legal segregation, but generally speaking, most people live with their own ethnic groups and sects. 73% of the population is Jewish, but the Jewish population is almost equally split between “secular” and “traditional and orthodox.” The secular, traditional, and “modern orthodox” populations intermix all the time, and they do business with and live near by the “Arabs Israelis.” But there are certain neighborhoods that are very religious, and some people from there don’t like outsiders. These are the “ultra-orthodox” Jews. Not all of them, but many reject the secular world. They are the ones pushing for Gender/sex segregation in public. The Arab population is mostly Muslim (85%), and they are all assumed religious. You can’t be “secular” and “Muslim,” you see? At least not everywhere. In Jaffa-Tel-Aviv, the Palestinian-Israelis are very unique from other Palestinian citizens of Israel. They speak Hebrew at home, and live next door to Jews. Almost everywhere else, Arab Palestinians choose to live in Arab neighborhoods, whether Christian or Muslim. There are also the “Druze people,” they were once considered Muslim heretics, but now they are their own separate faith. They are very huge supporters of Israel, and actually fought alongside the Jewish forces during the civil war in 1947. Israel is a democratic state, not a perfect one. I think it’s stupid, it’s far from American republicanism. They have so many elections, and so many prime ministers, you never know who is leading the country. The representation in parliament is proportional to the demographics of the country’s citizenry.

    @@wewenang5167 You not have the slightest idea what you're talking about. First, there is NO evidence to support the idea that Ashkenazim are Khazarian. There is also NO evidence that a Khazar conversion to Judaism ever happened. The core of what became Ashkenazi Jews first settled on Rhodes (Greece), in Italy, southern France and the Rhine River, it what is now Germany, and there is a mountain of written and physical evidence of those communities. The European ancestry that Ashkenazi Jews do have isn't Turkic, it's Greek and Italian. The rest (70%-90%) is identical to Sephardi Jews, Palestinians, Samaritians and Syrians. The largest genetic study ever done on Ashkenazi Jews was done at Wayne State University in the U.S and it completely debunked the Khazar hypothesis. It has no support among historians. Only delusional pan-Arabist still cling to it. Link to that study: digitalcommons.wayne.edu/humbiol/vol85/iss6/9/ Ever sense Israel became a country there has been an effort to white wash the Ashkenazi. ALL the EVIDENCE suggests that Ashkenazi are overwhelmingly middle eastern. There is no such thing as "original Jews." I know personally Samaritians with red and blonde hair. My mother is a 100% Syrian Jew from Aleppo and she also has blonde hair. My uncles have black hair. The Iraqi and Yemenite communities are no more or less "Jewish" than Ashkenazi. Genetically Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews are identical when compared with non-Jews. Levantine people vary in skin tone and hair color. There are blonde Palestinians and brown Jews and vice versa. And there are many ethnic groups indigenous to the middle east who aren't Arabs: Jews, Samaritians, Maronites, Arameans, Assyrians, Persians, Yazidis, Kurds, etc. Stop with the Arab-centric nonsense, they came to Jerusalem as invaders.

    Why don’t we just give all the disputed sites to the Samaritans to control and that way no one can complain: actual Israelis with dual citizenship, they’re going to want to preserve the sites that each side find holy, but they’re aren’t going to care about the baggage. Get them to draw up the borders for each community to live within and again, no-one can complain - it’s not like outsiders came and brokered a semi-solution but rather Israelis who know each community.

    Samaritans are real life Israelites in this modern time. I conduct DNA tests and Samaritan DNA, when compared to Iron Age ancient DNA samples from Human remains unearthed in Israel, Samaritans are nearly entirely of that ancient DNA unearthed in Israel. Another surprise, Palestinian Christians are also very genetically similar to Samaritans and very genetically similar to the ancient DNA unearthed in Israel. Palestinian Muslims are predominantly of that ancient DNA, but have a moderate amount of DNA admixture from Egyptians and Arabian types. It is recorded that the ancient population of Israel/Palestine were mostly converted to Christianity by the Byzantine era and then to Islam by the Islamic eras (with some remaining Christian). Samaritans are those that were able to retain their ancient religion (and thus identity) while Palestinians did not. If you think about it, Samaritans are just Palestinians that retained their ancient identity and religion.

    You can convert to this even if you're a woman who isn't seeking to marry a Samaritan, or a man.

If you succeed in this, you'll have to live there permanently (one is allowed to visit other countries, but not live in them) and practice their lifestyle for the rest of your life.
