Prof. Mordechai Kedar (Bar Ilan University) discusses the Muslim perspective and how it impacts the Palestinian community and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. L’Chayim with Mark S. Golub.
He ought to be defense or prime minister today, and we wouldn't be in the situation that we are in today. Raymond Ibrahim does a terrific two-part series on the origins of Islam, he's a Coptic Egyptian Christian with a lot of Truth to tell
Just listened to Mordechai Kedar's excellent clear simple explanations. He so clearly knows what he's talking about. My only question: how is it that so many people do not hear, do not have the capacity to listen? I have a rabbi friend who tells me that most of his friends are non-Jews, because he finds most Jews are so frustratingly blocked when it comes to the reality of Islam, the Muslim mind, anything in that area. Anyway, thank you for your excellent presentation, which will get through to anyone with ears to hear.
Even Christians too are blame to the reality of Islam in the west so as not to sound politically incorrect- we are now realising it is a problem for us in London= we are tired of demonstrations every weekend on the streets of London calling for annihilation of Israel. These people hate us too, not just Israel
As an Israeli jews I ask my self every day how its happened that the modern world don't see the truth abaut the islam .... i am shore that there are peacful Muslims but whay thay are silent .???where thay are?? Every thing that Mr kidar says is absolutely truth .
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a complex and deeply-rooted issue that cannot be analyzed without considering religious beliefs and values. Prof. Mordechai Kedar’s discussion of the Muslim perspective provides important insights into how religious beliefs can shape people’s attitudes and behaviors in the conflict. Understanding the religious motivations behind the conflict is crucial to finding long-term solutions and fostering peace. Whether one agrees with Prof. Kedar’s views or not, his analysis offers a unique perspective that contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the situation.
Saw his brilliant, fearless devastation of the Al Jazeera shill years ago. And remembered his name. Guys a great listen. Like our Natasha Hausdorff and Douglas Murray? Doing God's work. Thanks sir.
I'd like to inform English speakers that Dr. Mordechai speaks a lot more fluently by far on these matters when discussing in Hebrew and Arabic. More fluently than Arabic speakers who often choke at his claims (based on documented history and viable citations) on Islam and Middle East history and mentality.
@@tasaf6070You have the mentality of anArab muslim ! Your grandfather's were much more cultured than the Arab muslims who come to Europe ! We can see you , your ignorance is exposed ! I have lived, worked and traveled in the Arab world all my long life ! The first thing we learned about you ( speakers corner , London ) is how little you know about Islam , Koran , Hadiths Sura , everything ! How do we know this ? Everytime a non jew quoted something in the Koran for example, for the last 20 years at Speakers Corner, the muslim , in disbelief would say " WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT " I heard this hundreds of times ! You don't even know the difference in Arabic between "Wahhad" and "Ahad " ! You muslims never developed even consciousness ! How we know this ! Every time a person who dosnt believe in God, you muslims always say " Then what is to stop you raping and killing then " ? Our very young children know instinctively the difference between right and wrong !
And you are not conscious of personal space! This shows that you are not conscious of respect to the person you are speaking to ! You lie to protect your beliefs ! To us it means it is not "True or confident beliefs " Your treatment of females shows your total fear and immaturity of females this leads you to hate them because you fear for your false pride , meaning you do not even try to analyse anything ! And yet you Arabs who haven't invented anything for a thousand years , still think that you are the " Best of Peoples " ! Your arrogance, and fears stop you using your god given brain ! You are still stuck in the 7th century ! Luckily there are ex muslims who have broken free and can explain your "fears " to us to better understand you !
I wish this clip can be aired again and again If one forgets the past will continue to face the aggression of Islam again and again because Please God bless and keepOur blessed Israel teach history😊
The person Kedar refers to at 28:45, who used to work at the Pentagon is Stephen Coughlin who knows, really knows, the Muslim mind and Muslim practices.
He is right. I once had a Muslim colleague who told me, that the Jews didn’t know the right Torah , but we had changed everything 🤬. I got mad , and had to but on her place. I mean the Islam is more than 600 years after Christianity, and 2000 years after Torah.....
Prof. Mordecai is incorrect when he says that Palenstinian "Christians" are forced to join the Muslims in battle otherwise they will put themselves in danger. True Christians will not lift a finger against Israel, no matter what penalty they might potentially face. So, I can say with confidence, sir, that you are incorrect on this point.
Shalom RABBI Mark Golub as a Pakistani American lover of eretz yisrael I pray for the well being for people of israel😎🇮🇱🇮🇱❣♦️♥️🇵🇰🇵🇰❣♥️♦️🇺🇸🇺🇸😉I love respect admire professor. Dr.mordechai 🇮🇱🇮🇱Kedar he is correct about moslem ideology Shabbat shalom good shabbos shomer shabbos
On one criticizes Islam and leaves to tell his story. The media, academia and individuals dare not face Islam. It has a psychological dimension, if something is too strong people avoid it and attack the weak thing.
Kedar is knowlegable cos in islam they do not do research rather hear want imams,sheikha and islam or muslim bloggers talk like zakir nakir and we take that as truth.
There are basically two Koran one that came from Mohammed's time in Mecca which may loosely be regarded as the Koran of "peace" and one that came from his time in Medina which abrogated much of what went before so you have a dualism in Islam. There are at least 23 versions of the Koran written down by various clerics and Islamic scholars from various parts of the Islamic world all of which have been subject to thousands of corrections and amendments in total so it cannot be said that the Koran is the word of Allah unchanged or inviolable. The original Koran was an oral tradition and recital of Allah's speech to Mohammed. It was not codified until approx 80-100 years later when 90+ % of the multitude of these oral traditions were thrown out before being textualised in the Koran so no one least of all any Muslim has any idea of what the original oral tradition preached.
There are those who point out that there are bad issues in the Torah, but there is a difference. I understand those who take the Koran literally vs those moderates who see generally a more peaceful approach. Over centuries, the Torah has been interpreted from many points of view from orthodox and very orthodox to moderate to liberal and very liberal and non Jews Most of us look at this book as allegorical, historical, traditional, etc. and above all LIFE is the highest achievement we have and the Torah unlike the Koran does not lead us to kill anyone who does not believe in an ideology that kills innocents. There is war in the bible and compromise and struggling with God, but we are human and we do not go out to kill and end life for religious reasons. Israelis help the world with medical devices and pharmaceuticals to save lives; they don't stab other people to get rid of them or build tunnels to bomb Israelis, and certainly they don't commit suicide. Israelis help all, including arabs who need medical help etc etc. This is a good discussion; I just don't see a resolution to this anytime soon, maybe never, but I hope there will be.
It's simpler than that. When the old testament has violent stuff in it, it's descriptive not prescriptive.. It's telling a story of what happened.. not what must be done now. In the quran it's prescriptive.
Ellen Lerner Jewish supremacists like you think their shit doesn't stink when they worship the most unpleasant character in the history of all fiction. The Jewish god is jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak, a genocidal, patricidal, sadomasochist, misogynist, racist, bloodthirsty capriciously malevolent bully. Over centuries, the Quran has also been interpreted from many points of view, from the very conservative to the very liberal. But unlike the Torah, the Quran does not contain calls to genocide, rape, burning people alive and killing women, children and even mindless animals. The Quran says: "Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely." [5:32] There is no passage like this about the universal sanctity of life in the Torah. The Talmud says that whoever kills an "Israelite" soul is as if he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves an "Israelite" soul, is as if he had saved all mankind. That's the difference between the universalism of Islam and the tribalism of Judaism. That's why Judaism will never be a global religion like Islam or Christianity, or atheism and will always be a small marginal religion that nobody takes seriously. No ideology kills innocents more than Judaism. Jews have killed more people per capita throughout history than any other religious group. You say that Jews don't go out and kill for religious reasons, but the Jewish Defense League and Kach disagree, and have murdered many people for religious reasons. You say that you don't stab other people to get rid of them and don't commit suicide, but you do burn people alive like the Dawabsha family and Mohammad Abu Khdeir. You say you don't build tunnels to bomb yourselves, but you do drop bombs on women, children, elderly, hospitals, mosques, schools and civil infrastructure. It's not only Israelis who help the world with medical devices and pharmaceuticals. North Americans, Europeans, Japanese and Chinese help the world more than Israel.Yesterday 129 countries condemned Israel at the UN, because Israelis are just the cry-bullies that nobody really likes.
Rachel gold Islam living in the 7th century with all its followers is still far more liberal and progressive than Judaism living in the Bronze age with all its followers. The Torah was "so so advanced" for its time that it allowed genocide, burning girls alive, slavery, rape, flogging, amputation, racism, supremacism and misogyny. I will take the far superior Babylonian, Canaanite and Egyptian stories and religions over your savage and vulgar book any say in the week.
boliussa There is plenty of prescriptive violence, terror and genocide in the Torah: "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you. Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods." [Exodus 23:31-32] "10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. 16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them-the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites-as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God." [Deuteronomy 20:10-18] "3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”" [1 Samuel 15:3] “Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man by sleeping with him. 18 But all the young girls who have not known a man by sleeping with him, keep alive for yourselves.” [Numbers 31:17-18] “‘If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire.” [Leviticus 21:9] These are not merely "telling a story of what happened". These are direct commandments from Yahweh to genocide, enslave, kill, rape and steal other nations. The Quran on the other hand prescribes fighting only in self-defense: "And fight in the way of God those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors." [2:190] It commands to treat peaceful non-Muslims with kindness and justice: "God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly." [60:8] It commands regarding peaceful non-Muslims exactly as Muslims: "and do not say to one who gives you [a greeting of] peace "You are not a believer,"" [4:94] It commands rescuing non-Muslims if they seek refuge in us even when they are fighting us and that we should escort them to a safe place: "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know." [9:6] And it commands taking the initiative of peace and mending relations with our enemies: "And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend. But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good]." [41:34-35]
Even two millennia ago, our rabbis stated that a Sanhedrin that held more than two executions in seventy years was a murdering court. There is absolutely no comparison between Jewish courts of any age versus Islamic courts of then or of today. To compare them merely indicates the ignorance of the speaker, and his lack of education about our Torah.
What is taught is that God sent prophets and all believers are responsible to accept Gods decree. If you reject one prophet or messenger then you reject Gods decree which is rejecting God. It’s your choice to accept all or reject.
"Similarly, Rabbi Yoḥanan maintains that there is a second tanna who says that thirty days in a year are considered equivalent to a full year, and therefore a girl can be betrothed by intercourse from the age of two years and thirty days." - niddah 45a1 of Kedar's "Holy" book
Yusteni, the grandchild of the Roman Emperor Antoninus, asked the great editor of the Mishnah, Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi at what age a girl is fit for intercourse as a means of betrothal, and at what age she may conceive a child.(Nidda 44b) This shows your ignorance for context
how many languages does this guy speak fluently? I can hear English, I heard him speak Arabic, I bet he speaks Hebrew and he has a French accent, so must speak French too!
@@missthunderstormable I am isreali and we don't even pronounce the R we say it like this cuz we're not really middle Easterns (so if you see Arab Jews they can pronounce it like the actual "R" *BTW most Arabs and Jews in Israel speak at least 2 to 3 languages so it's normal
To say that something like the Sunni and Shia conflicts in Middle eastern history is unimaginable for Americans is laughable. What about the many and protracted wars having involved religious issues in European history? Are the Americans he is talking about not descendants of Europeans?
i learned somethings though i have to say, you said nakba is catastrophe because the jewish state was born? in fact it’s a catastrophe because palestinians were massacred and displaced i just wanted to clarify that it seems dishonest
Nabi Asli in RU-vid....translation yo Arabic...Hebrew.. Spanish...French...Will change the world....many Muslims leaving Islam as a result of Nabi Asli.....
Let somebody tell this liar,no Muslim is a Muslim if he says that Christianity and judaism are false faiths.Muslims believe that Soloman David moses jrsus Muhammad are messengers of God.They all preached oneness of God,but judaism ,christainity were meant for people of that time but islam is the last message and Muhammad is the last prophet.Deuteronomy 18.18 is about prophet of Islam.
The concept of life is different for Life in islam in Christianity and in Judaism as to (what is now)(what is yet to come) and (what is promised )via the holy books i can only comment as a jew that we value all human life unless it threatens others but believe the right to protect oneself community and country but we cant allways achieve protecting enemy innocents especially when the enemy does not protect its own people and uses them as shields . Also these people try to change fact and history to suit there political views .
Israel and its people have the right to exist as does all other countries plus others that should have their own homelands i.e. the Sikhs and the Kurds .
My perspective re a Palestinian homeland for Palestinian people was it not Trans Jordan now called Jordan at the time arranged by balfour declaration .
It would be good if you explained yourself. Otherwise, I can only gather that your fury is aroused by truth. Yes, truth hurts and a child reacts with anger and hate to hurt - and this is how you have reacted.
I come from a Muslim family 'let's say a moderate Muslim family .I remember I was turning to be devoted Muslim during my teenage time like a month or two in total . I am 42 now. At that time I realized the religion is a total delusion and the cause of many conflicts and see the outsiders are false once you turned fundamentalist .. etc etc.The things he said about Mohammad during the 7th century is absolute true and without a shred of a doubt. But on the subject of compromising,we don't value life , mothers love their children in the concept of sacrificing them it's a total crap and a dangerous language and upsetting ,Probably it is true in the fucked up mind of Hamas ,Hezbollah and ISIS,not in my world. I've never hated anyone either Christian or Jew or Buddhist or whatever.Everyone deserve to live with civil rights ,respect, dignity and feel safe .Honestly it deeply hurts to hear this nonsense conversation The whole world acknowledge Israel is a dominant power in the region with enough nukes to blow up entire continents, but still playing the victim role.Clearly these two men are deliberately deceiving the public minds , pretending to be ignorant to the facts and failing to see the devil inside'em. totally a fucked up ideology in this conversation ,clear as a day.
Mordakahi Mentioned that isatair alaowaleen The myths This particular verse was taken out of the whole verse is talking when the prophet started reading to none believers They say: 'He has written tales of the ancients, they are recited to him at dawn and at the evening. Say: 'It was sent down by Him who knows the secrets of heavens and earth. He is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.. This Jew is spreading lies like usual
5:18 this »obsession« with Judaism, as he calls it, is to underline the point that Islam is a repetion of former revelations to other prophets that were sent earlier, but have been changed and corrupted, hence the need for a last and final revelation. All this Mordechai knows very well. If he was a true Torah practising and believing jew he would never sit calmly in front of a camera and ridicule another monotheistic prophet and blatantly undilutedly outright lie.
Nothing has been corrupted. God would not send someone like Quathem. And, if you do the research the Arabs were the ones that corrupted their own Quran. The researchers have now shown that Islam was based on early Aramaic Christian hymns that they rewrote to Arabic. The Dome of the Rock says nothing about any Night Journey, but speaks about Jesus, as Muhammed.
مردخاي كيدار , من يريد ان احدا من اهل جهنم بمعية حيي بن اخطب فلينظر لوجهه . يقرأ القران ولا يريد الله ان يفتح قلبه لنور الاسلام . اكرر من اراد ان ينظر لأحد من اهل النار فلينظر لهذا الرجل .
