@@noammkw3770 there’s no Creator God…this is a fabrication of minds and indoctrination. No one has ever seen a Creator God and so people put 2 and 2 together to make 22 and then try and enforce others to believe,
❤I loved watching Chama Mechaly not Metchaly , I am a Moroccan Jew from Tangiers and I love how well spoken and truthful Chama is about Moroccan culture. ❤
Chama, you represent the new face we are looking for for Morocco. Diversity, tolerance and conclusion. This of course is not easy to achieve, but we will get there. Years of forced arabisation and then islamisation of the society had a lot on us and we need to get rid of.
My world since 10/7 has been shattered in so many ways, I can't even enumerate, but primarily I have lost so much faith in humanity. Your podcast reminds me that there are people out there like myself who truly care and have the passion and drive to seek the truth and uncover the humanity in all of us. Every day I am in a whole new world of pain and shock as I surrender to the normalization of abhorrent antisemitism... thank you for your voice Yasmine and your work.
Jewish identity is prescribed in The Moroccan constitution .Jews are part of the Moroccan society. They left because thé world jewish agency from NY endoctrinated zionism to jewish ommunities. You know all this. 😮😢
Yasmine- I just want to say that you're doing amazing work! I read your book. I've been following this channel and because of your book I have a deep appreciation and a MUCH better understanding of many women's experiences in the world of Islam. I understand what you are doing must be hard and does not come without a price. The same to your many guests. They are making a difference and without people like you, all we would hear is the propaganda that is being pushed so loudly. The West needs you. Democracy needs you. Your people need you. So that more can understand the unspoken truth. I hope that by doing these interviews you all feel empowered and free! Your supporter from 🇺🇸 USA
Wonderful show! I fully support the Abraham Accords and hope they will play a more active rolle throughout the Middle East. (Saw Chama on The Quad, too.)
I thought the Abraham Accords were a freakin' miracle...All those who are voting Harris including a majority of Jews, think nothing of such things...I don't understand that myself...
From what I know from Amazigh(Berber in English) people of Northern Africa is that Jews came with Phoenicians to North Africa before the Roman occupation, and before the Arab occupation. I researched this also myself and learned that there are many ancient Hebrew works and inscriptions from North Africa. Also some of the great Jewish scholars were huge contributors to Arab culture and literature while maintaining Hebrew as a cultural, religious and literary language and sometimes Greek, French, etc...
Are there any books or documentaries you can recommend about the Jewish migration before the Roman conquest? I know of the others, but this I didn’t know. I’m of Moroccan Jewish descent and I’d love to learn more!
@user-jt8vj1vm6y The term Phoenician is Greek and it refers mainly to Northern Canaanites, (the main ancestors of modern-day Lebanese), but it also includes Jews who arrived with them. It's important to keep in mind that many Jews were also politheistic up until 2,300 BCE. They worshiped Levantine, Egyptian, Babylonian and even Greek deities. Jews in Egypt even built a temple in the ancient city of Elephantine (contrary to what Orthodox Jews would expect as it became a standard belief that Yahu/El Elyon must only be worshiped in Jerusalem).
Chama is so interesting and beautiful. I come from a completely different background from both her and Yasmine but I identify with them both due to their personal and almost universal stories of spousal abuse which are so prevalent among women everywhere. Yasmine you empower and give voice to so many people and I admire you so much. Thank you again.
Yasmine and Chama, you are both doing a great work in deepening the understanding of diverse cultures and trying to bring people together for the sake of common humanity and peace.
Yasmine is an inspiration and works hard to get people of all backgrounds’ voices out there. Thank you for giving the world insight into those whose experiences are overshadowed by the narratives that don’t acknowledge them and their lives.
My God, Jewish-Muslim from Morocco. Otherworldly beautiful. Gotta be illegal. I know that’s not what this is about, but I don’t want to die without having spoken the truth.
Wow wow wow what a beautiful powerful woman and pillar for uniting a human race of consciousness. God bless you all and your families and may find peace love and happiness 🙏
People need a podcast like this. To promote diversity of culture and freedom of belief. Not just focus on hates rather to promote peace. New subscriber here in Austria.
Wonderful conversation. Thank you so much. As an Australian living in Paris I worked up in a northern suburb of Paris where there is a very large community of North African, Maghrebin Jewish people as well as muslims from the same regions. I have very close Muslim friends but have noticed increasingly conservative attitudes in my friends who come from very moderate or cultural Muslim parents. I believe brainwashing is occurring online and in Mosques - I noticed that this coupled with ignorance about the reality of political systems in the middle eastern gulf states seems to leave young muslims vulnerable to influence in the West to more extreme religiosity. I lived through the London and Paris terrorist attacks (the 2015 attacks occurred in both instances a short distance from where I was- the Jewish supermarket was up the road from my home at the time). As a traditionally leftist with background education in social work I am now feeling politically homeless due to the left losing its moral compass on this issue of the Middle East through political frameworks that generate simplistic binaries and fail to tell the truth. I was appalled at left wing straying into collusion with extremism the way it has so flagrantly since October 7. Thank you so much Yasmine for the work you are doing with this podcaste and Chama you are a brilliant, articulate voice for peace. You are both an inspiration. ❤❤❤
Yasmine, I found this to be an absolutely fascinating program. A particularly liked the part where Charma discussed the lack of sincerity in the Interfaith programs around the world. The questions from the participants were also absolutely great. In that regard, not to diminish the value of all the other participants who are all great in their own way, I particularly liked Ira's question and remarks about "decolonization and re-colonization", etc. A sincerely look forward to engaging with Charma and the Lazarus Institute. 💪🏼✌🏼👌🏼
I relate to this so much! I'm half Moroccan Jewish and half French, born and raised in France. I always hid my Jewish identify even when I talked about being half Moroccan. And in my 20s I went on university internship in Qatar!! I'm so grateful for Chama and the work she does! Since I discovered her I can relae to what Chama says but after hearing this and her experience in Doha, even more! 💙🤍
Love from Israel , my mom side grand parents from Morocco , Spanish descents speak Moroccan Arabic and French. my grandma tell me story's about how the former king love Jewish and she was on the king palace play and sew and decorate royal clothes together with the aunt of the current king and more royals children , any Moroccan family in Israel have story's about the honor of the king to jews
Ya, I’m with Sara on this most of the way because I’m American, not Muslim and not religious and I was married to an Iranian man who was escaped The Revolution of 1979 as a young teenager thanks to his well to do patents. It wasn’t long after that he began to support Radical Islam and Anti Israel Anti American ideologies. He never acted on it but he did abandon me and our 3 young daughters three different times and returned to Iran 🇮🇷….and returned back to The USA worse every time. He wasn’t raised that way, his parents were moderate Muslims but they had tendencies that I was not comfortable with. It’s a very long story of abuse and despair for me and my daughters. I don’t see anything in The Quran or Hadiths that gives much optimism about reform in Islam. It seems the only way out is to leave Islam entirely because it is simply not compatible with 21st century Western Society and we in Western Civilization do not want to be ruled by 7th Century Sharia Law.
Investing in the security and well-being of nations like Ukraine and Israel, and extending support to the Iranian people like smart sanctions on Oil exports of Islamic Republic but letting Iranians make money online through services, is crucial because our populations share a common wealth of talents, technologies, and values that foster economic growth, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. This understanding is lost on extremist ideologies like fascism, Marxism, and jihadism, which often rely on zero-sum thinking. For evidence, consider the arguments presented in 'Enlightenment Now' by Steven Pinker. Those who disagree are invited to engage in a constructive debate at Atheist Republic, where we can explore the merits of liberal values and the flaws in authoritarian models. Embracing liberalism allows for mutually beneficial outcomes, whereas extremist ideologies often require someone to lose in order for them to gain.
In this video, Chama started out as someone impressive but I was surprised and saddened by her poor choices in her personal life and disastrous marriage to a Muslim.
Am I the only one having some problems with the audio on a few occasions? The answer on the proposal of using dedecolonisation keeps breaking up on my youtube, I would love to hear/read it. 1:24:45
Like Yas, Chama is cool, charming, thoughtful and inspiring. She demonstrates that we'll never know for sure how many Crypto (hidden) Jews roam the Middle East (and many countries outside the Middle East). The funny thing, according to Islam, she's Jewish, according to Judaism, she's Muslim. According to most Israelis, she's refreshing, re-descovered part of the tribe. In his important book, "Islamic Fascism," Hamed Abdel Samad describes the whole insanity as "a family problem," or something like that.
If by crypto Jews, you mean people of Jewish origin who practice the Jewish religion in secret, there aren't any today. If you mean people of origin who hide their origin and do not practice their religion, they exist but their descendants will have no Jewish memory.
Chama means well but sometimes embraces the progressive agenda too closely. An older person, I am not familiar with all the current lingo she uses but I can figure it out from the context such as her husband did not "present himself" as Black.
Peace is possible with some arabs countries who suppoers the land of israel which is the Jewish land but not with nazi arabs who supports hamas and fatach. It is important to differentiate.
Such a stupid comment. People can love jews and be against the state of Israel. There is an entire movement of anti-zionist jews. People can be Arabs and jewish, Arabs and atheist. Peace doesn't mean normalising ties with a genocidal state. You can be against Israeli policy and against islamic extremism.
I’m not into the whole “recolonization” - I think we just need to reframe decolonization. To the questioners point, the Persian Empire and also the Islamic Golden age were once the havens of humanity. For some reason, the modern decolonization is only trying to go back to very recent fundamentalist hyper islamicized history whereas for a long time, the Middle East was in many ways more advanced than Europe. I think we just need to reframe what decolonization means and include Jews and other Middle Eastern minorities and emphasize periods that had elements of modern values. Don’t forget that Thomas Jefferson was a fan of Cyrus the Great. “Westernization” was in part based on older ideas, some of which weren’t western.
@user-rx1wp9du9e 0 seconds ago It's interesting to see non-Muslim Arabs talking. (Maybe next time you can bring Christian Arab) But I didn't understand if you are an atheist then what does it mean to maintain a Jewish identity? I compare you to a Christian Moroccan Arab woman who became an atheist - why would she say she maintains a Christian identity when she actually doesn't believe in Christianity? It does not make sense. Of course you can maintain a Moroccan/Arab ethnic identity because you are ultimately a Moroccan Arab living in the West, but a religious identity when you are not religious? Again, incomprehensible. I can understand Ashkenazi Jews who become secular, which many of them do, they say they keep their Jewish identity, but for them Ashkenazi Judaism is ethnicity, so it makes sense for them to keep this identity even when they are secular. But for those for whom Christianity, like Judaism or any other religion, is just a religion and as soon as he leaves or no longer believes in it - it is strange to hear that he maintains some religious identity. I'm interested in how it manifests itself.
It's the same story everywhere where Islam is either majority or minority. life is the same for every non-Muslim who just wants to live, constantly wondering what's wrong with these people, so deep in their own lie that truth holds no meaning for them... My heart goes out for you when you said that you were constantly blamed for spreading divisiveness just for trying to speak about things. I think every Hindu can relate to that. In India the whole weight of secularism is on non-muslims, the majority community, so much that when a Muslim commits a crime even the media is terrorised to report his name cause that would be Islamophobia, divisiveness... Anyone who dared to talk about anything and not constantly praising Islam is deemed islamophobic, right winger and gaslighted into silence... That together with gulf money, Islamic Pakistan spreading terrorism and Islamic ideology to hate non-Muslim and victimhood - there's next to no attempt to any reform at all...
I admire Chama s accent which makes me doubt of her moroccan origin . I admire also her deep knowledge of north africa and the golfe area geopolitics. Is she realy an arab jew. I doubt. Is she endoctrinated. This l do not put a question mark.
I very much doubt that this kind of peace could be allowed by Islam, we should not ask from Islam what is not in its nature... We had to first negotiate it with the 'spirits' ''angels'' who came to Muhammad to bring him his ''revelation''. Otherwise, it's a sweet dream, a utopia, even a chimera... Curious about a feminine person so beautiful, so pretty, so sensible and apparently so intelligent and so courageous (a real woman, something that would make anyone proud). any great man!); but on this point, I believe she is seriously mistaken. She believes she can act in an area clearly beyond her reach... Unfortunately, this feat is well beyond the capabilities of all living people, Muslim or not. Those who practiced and lived true Islam until they knew it in depth, and then abandoned it, can testify if they wish to what I affirm. Islam is the spiritual opposite of Judeo-Christianity, without the possibility of synthesis... It was a very noble attempt all the same, but let's not be presumptuous; We can do nothing about far too many things in this world, neither in principle, theory nor in practice. We are only men/women! And it's not even modest to recognize it!
somalian think themselves arabe rather than black is interesting because somalian speak somali language maybe they are after the sound money from saudi qtar and uae
I don’t think is a just Somalian thing , East Africa in general will identify more with the tribe or ethnic origin they belong to than their skin color. Somalis see themselves as part of the broad Muslim community, which mainly has a lot of cultural influences mainly from the Arab culture where Islam first took place. So it's not something that is unique to only Somalis, it's something that I recognize in a lot of Muslims who are not necessarily Arabs.
@@avzifanta9083 islam has nothing to do with arabe culture allaha sent prophet mahamed to mankind he never told anybody to fellow with arabe culture,do pakisteain and afganistan consider themselves arabe?say somalian they are not educated they are self hate people.
Somalia they are out of their mind black people call themselves arabe some of them said they are from makka.even saudí Arabia i never saw any single person saying his from prophet familiy but Somalia they did
