Saying you are a Palestinian is like a British person saying he is a Yorkshireman. Palestine was an administrated REGION, not a country. This old man needs an education!

There was never a country called Palestine. What was its first President, king, queen, prime minister, vizier?

Ungrateful people! The British leadership helped the Arabs win their freedom from the Ottomans. You have heard of Lawrence of Arabia? You Arabs were given your land as promised. The Jews bought the land they lived in. Never stolen. Arabs want it all. Very greedy. So they attack the Jews, but the Jews won. The Nakbar is when 850,000 Jews were thrown out of majority-Muslim countries after 1948. People who had nothing to do with the founding of Israel. The Arabs owe Israel trillions of dollars in compensation!

Is Hallaq still a Christian or a 'hidden' muslim.

They betrayed us too

Great interview, i realise there is a big topic to tackle here considering the crises happening in the region, but i would have loved to know more about how she built her career, maybe thats not within afikra's objective in this interview but i would love to understand how she got to work with the orgs she did and i think it couldve been a longer interview. Also, a list of the orgs shes referring too that we can help or work with esp for gaza or regionally. Def understand why orgs dont accept money from certain sources but its not a sustainable approach unf, i dont think it will last

So let's go through some actual FACTS about "Palestine". Our people are Jews because we are directly descended all the way back nearly 4000 years from Abraham, Isaac, his son through his wife Sarah who was the promised heir, and his son Jacob, through Jacob's 12 sons who became the progenitors of the 12 tribes. Our patriarchs and matriarchs (with the exception of Rachel at Beit Lechem) are all buried in the very first piece of Jewish real estate bought by Abraham at Machpelah in Hebron from Ephron the Hittite who owned it before (see Genesis chapter 23). Recent advances in DNA analysis have revealed that as human beings we are ALL mixtures of DNA from many past and long extinct populations, even extinct species of human ie Neanderthals for many of us. No people is the same genetically as even 100 years ago, let alone thousands, except perhaps a few very remote tribes. DNA by itself does not determine nationhood. And yes there were people living in our Jewish homeland before us. The Bible is clear about that. But as peoples eg Canaanites, Jebusites, the non-semitic Philistines - from whom the Romans took the name when they cruelly renamed Judea, land of the tribe of Judah from where Jews derive our name "Syria Palestina" etc. they became extinct in antiquity. Jews have been Israel's indigenous people ever since Israel was established and the previous inhabitants became extinct in antiquity through being killed, dying out or leaving, or being assimilated into the majority Jewish population, have lived in our homeland of Israel CONTINUOUSLY for 3500 years, despite massive persecution, murder, forced enslavement and exile of many but not all of us and various invasions by peoples who all oppressed us. Including the invasion by Arabs over 2000 years after the establishment of Israel who stole Jewish land. Jerusalem became the capital of Israel under King David. King David bought our holiest site, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, 3000 years ago and Jews have prayed towards it ever since. Then Israel was divided into the northern kingdom which kept the name of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Judah of course is where Jews get our name from, because many of us are descended from that Jewish tribe. Other Jews today are Levites, descended from the tribe of Levi who were responsible for the music performed in the Jewish Temples. A subgroup of Levites are Cohanim, who served as priests in the Temples and still have extra responsibilities and requirements today. And DNA shows the existence of a particular gene directly on the male side for nearly all Cohenim today. Whereas Arabs originated from Arabia and only invaded our homeland of Israel over 2000 years after it was established as the Jewish homeland. However, most "Palestinian" Arabs are actually descendants of recent immigrants here, many allowed in by the British after more Jews started returning home and made our homeland flourish once more, making it an attractive place for Arabs to come to live in too. And the real Palestinians, the non-semitic Philistines, became extinct around 2500 years ago when the last of them were carted off by the Babylonians. No connection with Arabs whatsoever. It was the Romans who cruelly renamed Judah or Judea which the name had become by then, but it was from the same tribe of Judah, "Syria Palestina" after the already long extinct Philistines. But "Palestine" simply became a generic term for this part of the Levant, and frankly never referred to a distinct people, culture, language or even specific piece of land (unless you count the Mandate of Palestine from 1918 to 1948 which included all of what later became Jordan). There were never any "Palestinians" (except for the extinct non-semitic Philistines) and the only people who called themselves "Palestinian" before about 1950 were Jews and never Arabs. Eg this is what the late Golda Meir recalled: "When in 1921 I came to Palestine - until the end of World War I a barren, sparsely inhabited Turkish province - we, the Jewish pioneers, were the avowed Palestinians. So we were named in the world. Arab nationalists, on the other hand, stridently rejected the designation. Arab spokesmen continued to insist that the land we had cherished for centuries was, like Lebanon, merely a fragment of Syria. On the grounds that it dismembered an ideal unitary Arab state, they fought before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry and at the United Nations. When the Arab historian Philip K. Hitti informed the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that “there is no such thing as Palestine in history,” it was left to David Ben-Gurion to stress the central role of Palestine in Jewish, if not Arab, history. As late as May 1956, Ahmed Shukairy, subsequently head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, declared to the United Nations Security Council, “It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria.” In view of this, I believe I may be forgiven if I took Arab spokesmen at their word." You can read the whole article here: aish.com/golda-meir-on-the-palestinians/ The Mandate of "Palestine" which existed under British rule from 1918 to 1948 and was ALL originally supposed to be for the reestablished Jewish homeland included all of what subsequently became Jordan, 78% of the whole Mandate, which was illegally lopped off by Britain in 1922. If anywhere is an Arab "Palestine", Jordan already is or certainly should be. Arabs who remained in Israel in 1949 became full Israeli citizens with far better human rights than anywhere else in the Middle East. Those Arabs who left mostly did so either voluntarily or because they were told to do so by the five Arab armies which invaded Israel in 1948, seeking to commit GENOCIDE against Jews living here - and this was just three years after the Holocaust - expecting to return and to steal the homes and property of murdered Jews. Didn't work out that way. And there are consequences for losing an aggressive genocidal war and rightly so. War is horrific, bloody and messy, and the Jewish people were literally fighting for our survival. Undoubtedly there were horrors on both sides at the time, such is the tragic nature of war. Whereas there were even more Jewish than Arab refugees, many forcibly expelled from Arab lands where some communities had lived for millenia, the majority of whom were taken in by Israel. Effectively, a transfer of populations. And these refugees were Sephardic Jews, some of whose communities, eg in Iraq where many Jews were descended from the first exile of Jews to Babylonia some 2500 years ago, had lived there for over 2000 years. Most Israeli Jews were born in Israel, speak Hebrew as their mother tongue and have nowhere else to go even if they wanted to. So what anyone who supports "Palestine" really means is they want GENOCIDE against the INDIGENOUS Jewish people of Israel and the destruction of our 3500 year old homeland. Because there is no other way it could possibly ever happen. Frankly, if Arabs want a homeland, they should go back to Arabia where their ancestors came from and stop trying to steal Jewish land. See ua-cam.com/video/Jbf2LjF8OPw/v-deo.html And Israel isn't just our homeland, it's holy to us. Not only is the Bible full of our history here and so is the ground beneath our feet, but there are many commandments of the Torah which can only be fulfilled in Israel. For instance, every seven years is a shmittah year, when my gardening activities and those of all other Jews in Israel are considerably curtailed. Observant Jewish farmers have to leave their fields uncultivated during shmittah, and the ordinances regarding this go back to the Torah. There is no requirement to do this outside Israel. There are differences between the observance of Jewish holidays in the number of days kept between Jews living in Israel and Jews still in the diaspora, which go back many, many centuries. Ultimately Israel is ours because G-d gave it to us and to no one else. The times when He allowed Muslims to rule it and to subjugate indigenous Jews and other non-Muslims living here as dhimmis is over. Read Ezekiel chapter 36 which was given to one of our many Jewish prophets, Ezekiel over 2500 years ago, but it is amazing to be seeing this ancient prophecy still unfolding before our eyes. G-d made an eternal covenant with the Jewish people which He will never break, and He promised Abraham that those who bless the Jewish people will be blessed but those who curse us will themselves be cursed (Genesis 12v3). History bears out the truth of this stark warning. Many different peoples have tried to destroy us, the Jewish people, over many centuries and all have failed and largely disappeared into the dustbin of history. For a deeper understanding of what the Jewish people are really all about, see this 20 minute video: ua-cam.com/video/j6k1jHAYtbI/v-deo.html And check out what Douglas Murray has to say about Israel eg this is a recent speech he gave: ua-cam.com/video/rud4Jq51Lx8/v-deo.html So why do you think Jews have no right to live in our homeland in peace where Jews have actually lived for 3500 years CONTINUOUSLY, despite massive persecution, murder, forced enslavement and exile of many of us and various invasions by different peoples who have all oppressed us in our own homeland?

The restoration of Palestine rights etc cannot also coke at the expense of Israel, Israel is also projected by international law, human rights etc. here in lies the problem.

Palestinian right to return is also limited and disputed due to its language and framework. One argument is it only applies to those born before 1948 and if they will live peacefully side by side which means accepting Israel.

Not all the Jews coming from Europe before or after 1917 where converts many where descended to various degrees from Jews that once lived in Palestine and the surrounding area but where kicked out, it’s hilarious at how selective he is

You can see the bias from a mile off and this is the problem. Arabs invaded the area of Palestine just like everyone else. Islam came to the area and established itself via war. Always act as if you are the innocents ones your not. Christian did the crusades to take back what was there before the invasions of Islamic groups.

For an interviewer he don’t know much about his subject.

Where can we read more about the survey and its results? Is it published somewhere?

@salmivec. These ignoramous es are talking nonsense.palestinians are former immigrants from Arab Islamic countries in the Middle East.There has never been a Palestine state.its a myth.palestine is a piece of land in Judea known as the Holy Land of the Bible.

You are delusional Jews were thrown out of Arab lands .

So good to hear Palestinians tell their story. May God bless this man for all he has suffered under the zionists.

Thanks very much brother Allahs blessing be upon keep healthy live more years to see Palestine free return to home land

Till just one of these so called experts bring up the Arab countries expelling of eight hundred thousand Jews, they can't be taken seriously. In 1948 Baghdad was forty percent Jewish. Today not a Jew remains. We Jews see this and understand this.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE PRISONERS FROM ISRAELIS PRISON BACK HOME?? ANYBODY CAN ANSWER ME PLEASE THANK YOU😢

Thank you for this brilliant talk. I am from Portugal and the more I learn about the history of Al-Andalus and our connexions with North Africa, the less I feel European. It's an absolute shame politics hide 538 years our past and so little is taught at Portuguese schools. Once again thank you.

Interesting….I’m a Saudi citizen, but with Circassian roots from my mother’s side (from Baghdad).

Israeli, British and US government's all prefer to deny the existence and nationality of Palestinians because then they will have to acknowledge the truth, the nakba, and the ongoing war crimes.

Is there a way you guys can post the links of all what you guys talked about in 5:20 this podcast ?

Thank you for this invaluable interview…

Allah's sharia is the only way, never forget that fact

A most revealing and incredibly enlightening interview with an amazingly knowledgeable scholar of Palestinian history! Much of what he elaborated upon, was indeed new to me, and I am thankful for the detailed explanations he shared with us, in this fascinating interview! I hope this interview gets broad viewership from around the world, and especially in the West! We in the West need to hear the realities about Palestine for a change, not the sanitized and biased propagandized narrative, we have been exposed to for all these decades, by our governments, media and the Zionists in Israel. As an American of the Jewish faith, I am outraged at the complicity of the West and Israel , in all of this , for so many years. The reality of what transpired in Palestine from 1917 to the present, has nothing in common with the explanations we have all been given. The obliteration and unimaginable suffering of an entire people and it’s rich culture, never should have been allowed to happen! I have great hope that through the truth finally coming out on so many social media platforms, that things can eventually change for the better, for the people of Palestine. The genocide, suffering and hardships that these courageous people have been forced to endure, for well over 100 years, must come to an end, as soon as possible. The Palestinians deserve nothing less! I hope to see that in the not too distant future. Thank you for inviting this learned scholar of Palestinian history, on as a guest to your podcast. We are all far better informed , having listened to his keen insights and wisdom, in response to your numerous thought provoking questions!

Return occupied Palestine ("Israel") to the Palestinians they stole it from by using terror, murder, genocide and fraud.

It made me cry. How they are so calm. I’m ashamed of all the rich Muslims around the globe who never lift a finger to help them. May Allah free the Palestine.

Well said - "you cannot have a BALD SPOT in the Arab world."

Two state solution in PALESTINE promotes racial injustice. Correct the injustice that the UN committed in 1947 - by creating a NATION STATE OF ISRAEL in PALESTINE. WESTERN nations must practice what they preach so vehemently about DEMOCRACY. There must be ONE SOVEREIGN SECULAR STATE OF PALESTINE from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean sea, with equal rights to all citizens, be they Arabs, Jews or PALESTINIANS. No exclusive ZIONIST settlements, no exclusive use of highways, no border walls. No APARTHEID REGIME policy. ZIONISTS to be accommodated in Washington DC to lobby directly instead of AIPAC. ENLIGHTENED Europe, thereby, will be absolved of its ORIGINAL SIN - the first HOLOCAUST. As China, a SOCIALIST DEMOCRACY, would say - WIN, WIN SITUATION FOR THE WORLD.

REFORM of the UNSC or the UNO, signifies a change from the PERCEIVED NORMAL state into an established MALIGNANT state. Excision involves pain. The UN is DEFUNCT, OUTDATED and must be DISCARDED if a MULTIPOLAR INCONCLUSIVE WORLD is desired

I have always wondered why there are no people of Circassian origin in Lebanon, yet they are in surrounding countries like Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Palestine. Though in Lebanon there are Kurds, Turks, Turkmen, and Armenians, just no Circassians.

Democracy is govt by the people, for the people and of the people...not by Netanyahu or Zelensky or by any one prime minister or a few media talking heads.

As an amazigh i clearly say that this is a FAKe HISTORY..that been established byzionists.

Awesome interview! Thank you Afikra for bringing a respected and a noble person. I learned a lot from him.🙏🙏🙏

Thank for the most interesting information of the colonialism/zionism of Palestine 🇵🇸 I will definitely share it on to my friends. As an Irish woman whose ancestors were robbed of their lands through colonialism. Your comments at the end building on the solution through peace and building back communities that were destroyed 👏👏👏👏 Peace for Palestine and the rest of the world.

🌺🌸🌺🦋

In 15th century Egypt and Syria, Circassians lived not as refugees, but Sultans and soldiers.

❤❤❤

USA government is indifrent & hostil

Trying to use the useful idiots in the West to attempt to gaslight the international community to give Palestinians land that doesn’t belong to them is delusional. The alleged Nabka is nothing more than crying about the fact that Arabs attacked Israel and lost the war they started. They have continued to lose every war they start. Chanting they’re going to genocide the Jews and take over the land is not going to get them the desired effect. Israel will remain forever. Jews have thousands of years of history in Israel.

Circassians in occupied Palestine are backstabbers who forgot how Palestinians opened their arms to them when they fled the Caucasus and are now Israeli pawns who claim blood brotherhood with the Jews. Nauseating.

Doctor from England why you did not go back long time .

Maps would have been a tremendous enrichment to your rich presentation

🇵🇸🇵🇸 Palestine ❤❤

Palestine or philistine their home land is at sea, they are sea people around Greece.

Imam Shamil 🕊️

Worlds most forgotten genocide

He look like Rothschild

There is no Palestine. Palestine is the name of a region, given by the Romans, so that they can mock the Jews when they we're exiled. The region is Syria-Palestina. Name when was Palestine foundation? Who founded it? What was its borders? What was its capital? Name one Palestinian ruler/president? What was Palestine s nations day? National heros? National poets... There was no national identity under the Palestinian name. Israel has the right to exist and the right to reclaim its land and religious holy sites.
