Right at the start of the conflict he said everything that needs to be said. Sadly, 4 months later, nothing has changed and the polarization grows worse. Please keep spreading the message.
Matisyahu had it right, even back then. I admire him for speaking out and not worrying about petty things like popularity. I know that decent people will stay with him. I admire his courage.
descent people dont support 10.000 children killed in Gaza in the last 90 days. This speak about 'not worrying about popularity" is what WRONG people say when doing shit.
@@whatever_else100% Its like they think because they have done it slowly that nobody will remember what they've been doing to the Palestinian people since being given a half of Palestine. It literally like it was the plan all along and nothing you can say to me will change my mind in that. In the past 12 years there has only ever been 2 years where Palestine killed more Israelis than Israel killed Palestinians. And there isnt many in the 20 years before that either. Nearly every year there has been hundreds more killed by Israel at least. Palestine didnt surround Israel and steal its land(nit even including when it was given half of Palestine which displaced millions. Im just talking since then) Palestine arent controlling their water food and energy. Palestine arent asking for anything other than Autonomy which goes against the Zionist belief system that infected the government of Israel. There is no Zionist outcome where Palestine exists. And all this is, is that they got impatient playing the long game that was set back in the 70s.
We were forced out of Russia in WW2 because my family where Jewish, i now live in the Uk thanks to people that helped my grandparents escape. I am Jewish and i am proud.
3:09 "it's not about land, it's about religion" I don't think so. my girlfriend was Visiting some People is west Jordan, an apartheid society, and Gaza is the biggest jail in the world. The just want to get back to their homes, their occupied homes, sometimes even destroyed to build new settlements, every day are more illegal settlements. Those people just want to leave in peace, if there is no aggression from Palestinians, nobody will talk about this massacre, ant it will go in like the last 60 years. It's NOT about religion, it's about territory and justice.
Read the history from the very start. And bear in mind that a lot of arabs who own the land before from the partitions made by united nations , they sold legally the land because that was slummy and they think israelis are crazy to buy the lands from them because it is barren land and impossible to plant something. BUT israelis are very brilliant and hardworking. They developed the land and now that is prosper and one.of the most developed land in the world, they wanted to get it and benefit from it. Also archeological remains that was dicovered which were verified internationally were evidence that more than 3000 yrs old from the date of discoveries. So biblically, historically at archeoligally, israel if for israelites. I STAND WITH is Israel even i
I agree Joaquin. It's about land and memory, not religion, in the end; national identity combined with religion, especially in the Zionist case, and not some 'inevitable' slaughter between religious groups. KRISDIARY - the Palestinians were already making the desert bloom, farmers everywhere, when Zionism began to grow. yes, much land was sold by absentee landowners. Does this mean that it's all the fault of the 'greedy Arab landowners'? Or all the achievement of the 'amazing Zionist start-up state'? Perhaps the truth is more nuanced, and both sides should be respected.
What they don't realize is that Israel could turn gaza into a field. They are holding back and trying to keep it clean as possible. I'm not Jewish, but I'm with Israel 100%. Matisyahu is the real deal.
This didnt age well. 60-80% of the 25,000 killed have been women and Children. I foolishly was with Israel. But what i am seeing from their PR team and Americas blind backing. Man this is Genocide. And its about to undo all of the work good men have died to protect. And that is the jews right to a homeland. The way i see it. If this is justified. Then the entire muslim world uniting and doing the same to Israel would be justified. This is how you start world war 3 and as a white Australian. I am standing with Palestine. And i will have to try my best to not get roped i to Antisemetic views whilst i do that. Because right now. I can understand people falling back on that. Because if you cant show humanity yourself. Then you deserve none.(whatever race, religion or colour you are... the world is sick of this shit) Jews should effing know better. Your government want all of Palestine to be called Israle. Your government want to return Israel to the Israelites. We arent stupid. And if you are going to support this you deserve any hate coming your way. You don't just get respect and the benefit of doubt. You are killing innocent people and not one of you can justify it. This is worse than Iraq and not a single bombing campaign in history has claimed more civilian lives. Including both world wars. This is Dresden level
All my life, I've been waitin' for I've been prayin' for, for the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more There'll be no more wars, and our children will play
One day is about us wanting to sit and watch tv in our living room on a Saturday, or piddle in our garden, or make a snack in our kitchen, or take a walk outside, change our babies diaper, play with our toys, go on a picnic, goto a music event, etc... WITHOUT OUR US AND FAMILIES BEING TORTURED and SLAUGHTERED! We just want to live our life like everyone else.
@@theartsypixie2771 And you are referring to Palestinian families in Gaza or Jewish families in Israel? It is tragic that a people who have endured so much suffering over the ages can turn around and inflict the same. Open your eyes.
One Day was just a guaranteed seller, a way to make money with some empty platitudes for idiots to lap up. He's a Zionist through and through. Doesn't care about the tens of thousands murdered by the Israeli state.
The video he is referring to is of a 16 year old Guatemalan girl from Central America that was lit on fire. and it took place in 2015. There so a lot of miss information out there and you should not believe things without first looking into the validity of it.
Sad part is both come from abrahamic religions and are both are brothers! Once you understand we are both fighting instigated wars, you will become brothers in god! We are all the same!
I was a fan of his for the longest. I get he's Jewish but for more than 7 decades Israel has been pushing Palestinians of their land. Israel doesn't want peace, they attacked a bus of people trying to flee. I'm disappointed. Everyone keeps talking about the Jewish community, but no one is speaking about the pain of the Muslim community. Hamas is a single group not an entire nation. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Yeah I really don’t understand this either. I guess it’s a “bias” if you’re Jewish you’re going to support Israel and if you’re Arab you’re going to support Palestine. Which is fine in theory but at the end of the day we should all want war and innocent civilians on both sides to be safe and free
@@HopeNeff if you want to get technical maybe not. But since this whole area was ruled by the British it was given to them and ever since has been ruled by Israel. Imagine living somewhere where your entire food, power and water are controlled by your “enemy”. Not only that but Israel haven’t followed any of the treaties and rulings but have occupied this land and have kept gazans from leaving by not providing them any sort of passport. So when I hear this be rhetoric that “no one is telling them they can’t leave” that’s bullshit. Israel has all the control and land available to their people. Palestinians are supposed to have a small section of that land. They can’t even live peacefully. Yes Hamas has taken control politically and that needs to be rectified but at the end of the day 1-2million of them just want to live freely.
@@matthoffman6962Please state your credible source(s) proving the lies you mentioned. The only truth you stated was the British owning that area....stolen is more like it.
I love our brother Matisyahu, and i understand his pain qnd the suffering of the nation of Israeli right now... I guess as a fan of his, i expected a different response....But, i understand and still love this brother. Yet, i say to him 'Lord raise him up!' To see the truth in all things though wisdom wnd understanding... Bob Marley was a good example, speaking eloquently and truthfully about oppression, colonization, race and equality..... food for thought....Peace and love always !
Thank you for speaking out Matisyahu, your in and on my heart always. My love goes out to all innocent people getting hurt, though we will get our temple rebuild and meet for our greater purpose one day mi friend!!! Thank you so much for your divine music, please keep up your amazing work. I keep fighting for peace in my way and wish it will have many impact like your music does with me, as does your speaking up here!!! I feel it so, what you say about people dropping weapons for peace.... Your amazing, G-d's grace!!! Good health, greater purpose and living waters for you and who ever stands with you. My door always open for you.... Your heart is safe with me❤💋, here is an holy kiss for you!!!!!
I don't understand your talk of 'fighting for peace' while talking of 'rebuilding the temple.' Would it be on the ruins of the al-Aqsa mosque oh the Temple Mount? The destruction of our first Temples there was tragic, but prolonging the conflict is also tragic.
@@motaku7525 Hi, well ill explain... Fighting for peace is a battle without battle... Look up what mother Theresa did.... A fight without fight.... And the al aqsa, they could replace it easily and drop the original al aqsa in Erdogan's grandmothers garden. Wouldnt that be in the name of the most compassionate the most kind.
He's so PROFOUND here. Explained in simple to understand truths. I don't understand why so MANY people don't want to accept that Hamas is TOTALY RESPONSIBLE for this tragedy.
THANK YOU MATISYAHU ! WITH YOU AND TERRIFIED. I AM. A yid out here in white xian america. The anti semitism is huge. I want an Israel that is just and at peace. I want to go there. I am not safe here……i am not just worried about me. B t w i grew up 6 miles south of where.you did. Toda raba for words and music. Salaam shalom
Genesis 17:7-8 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. Zechariah 12:1-3 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Prayers for your family and loved ones and may god protect them. Prayers for everyone involved in this war. I stand with Israel 🇮🇱. Hopefully America is helping them out.
no matter Israel or Palestinian, or where you are from or what religion you claim and belong to. no one should be losing their lives, homes,land or children. !!! this is about life and love. we are all brothers and sisters, from the same roots of the same tree. no more death or genocide. do most forget this .? prayers for both countries to come together peace & love is the only way!!! please stop the war and biblical fighting , no ones right or wrong when both sides are killing, maiming & losing..
Wise man, he speaks the truth and isn't worried about losing his "brand". It's sad to see what's happening in Gaza to the innocents, but Israel has a right to defend their people.
Wishing peace, love and light to all people in all lands at all times. Your speaking out in needed- do not worry about the lost followers. They are not worthy of your lignt. Blessings!
It doesn't spur any anti-Semitism in me, it just makes it so much more important that Netanyahu and his monsters are removed from office. How can the Palestinian Arabs show peace to those that oppress them on a daily basis or turn a blind eye to that oppression. Peace to all
first i dont condone any of this , but check your facts the video is a woman in Guatemala , has shit like this happened in Isreal .... likely but i find it sad that a girl from a third world country died and nobody cared till she was used to misconstrue news so someone can get some likes , im really doubting humanity RN
He that have an ear, let him hear. Those who can't see the truth are blinded.... maybe they are not called. They are the ones who choose to be sacrificed for the devils sake. The way is narrow and its few who will make it through... sadly! 😢 🙏🏼
I too mourn the lives lost, from civilians to Israeli soldiers. And the 20,000 Palestinian dead. After predicting that Israel will unleash a campaign like 'no one has ever seen,' or something to that effect - and voicing no concern for probable massive Gazan civilian casualties, witness Operation 'Cast Lead' - he goes on to say that 'there will be peace the moment all the Arabs put down their weapons.' I wonder if he mentions the ongoing Occupation, with all its brutality and dispossession, at all. This does not justify what Hamas did. But I find Matisyahu to be biased and hypocritical. Women and children? Some of what Hamas did is unspeakable. But what of Israeli soldiers shooting Palestinian women holding a white flag who left their homes in Gaza during an Israeli campaign in 2014-2015 to inspect the fires left from Israeli phosphorus bombs? 'Who got there first'? 'Who's more wrong'? Are these really the important questions? His song 'One Day' brought tears to my eyes when it was being sung in both Hebrew and Arabic in Haifa. But I don't think Matis is seeing with clear eyes.
I would have been honored to interview MY, and this upload ruined it...I shook Mati's hand at a concert and knew he cared deeply with every word he has spoken. Stop brining up internet drama during a war, smh OP. "One day"
This is the balanced take, to stand against Israel and to show sympathy for a false state is antisemitic, the “innocent people” of “Palestine” asked for this when they voted for Hamas. You reap what you sow.
I would hope that you would have a more balanced take on this. Beeing antisemitic is also unbalanced. To protect your country is as balanced as it gets. And a proper civilisation has to do just that.
Look at my Earth in tears But things here are getting so big Sons leave before fathers, there are too many sweaty mothers When the guns of stupidity sing the same tune in chorus The soul eater at every meal drinks in our resentments I hear it every night, tired of the ghosts that haunt it Tired of their complaints, so much that sometimes she trembles By the blood of hatred, constantly sown, in rhythmic step When the latter drives the wind out of the plains Nothing has changed since, where I live, Jews, Catholics Muslims, black or white, shut your mouth, you are making too much noise Like these storms whose water mixes with our tears and their shocks On the arid soil whose soul uranium has stolen I don't want a city with cemeteries larger than the living space Even if it seems that on the other side everything is calmer, more stable I don't want the survivors to survive under neon lights after D-Day Too close to nothingness, because the sun deprives them of rays Arteries full of bitter like a shopping cart to the Giant We load, we load, at the exit it's all in the teeth I think it's in the spirit of the times, everyone is looking for their scapegoat Yeah, from a simple wasted life to sending a nuclear bomb Love is running out of air in their world, we are suffocating, all we can bear It's pressurizing, and it's the psychologists who will exorcise Someone tell me if I have any chance of finally seeing the peace demanded That one day the idiots learn Perched on my pen, I wait for this moment, observe this mess Little flames rose to the sky, for her I bled this gospel Hera flies away with her wings, tired of the sap that is being drawn from her We all claim we love him but none of us are faithful Jealousy and lust are at each other's throats When problems come, we solve it with big peaches And during this time, some people collect money in big buckets Guess who's digging but with bigger shovels When do we get there, where happiness quenches our thirst My future is being built, without shouting, without guys on the ground No leaky power plant, nothing on the Geiger counter And finally aware that here, we are only tenants You're talking about a rental, take a look at what we did with it When the old man takes stock of the situation, we'll give up on the deposit We should have returned it as it was given to us Clean, spotless, and innocent as a newborn Only ours are starving in Africa And there's not enough money for them Then the slab will have to be tempered Men fall under racist gusts But we can't do anything for them So the bullets will have to be avoided Ass in front of the TV, busy dreaming With your finger on the control, you feel like you exist We complain, we yell, we vote, hoping that things will change But set up your barricades and you will see them all hesitate Garnished with incomprehension and giant steles The globe dreams of compassion and buds reborn on its branches The same ones that we will let die one evening in December, in the silence Just a piece of cardboard to lie on “Everyone has a chance”, what planet does the one who said that come from? A politician, I believe, live from Bora Bora While homes suffer, tora tora style But hey it's way too low, so obviously he doesn't see us Word and words and words, they promised mountains and wonders But the wonders are gone..... .....In the absence of money, let's fuck*ng give it time In our mouths the word freedom becomes insulting Because it is the soldiers who carry it and no longer the wind As if the world was full of cruel sultans Dissatisfied with the plans offered to us I now cultivate roses in my microcosm Measures the minimal damage my microphone causes It can only get better so I wait for the end of their world
What happened to “all my life i been waiting for, praying for the people to say that we dont have to fight no more, and our children will play” bro your children are playing in a VERY different environment to Palestinian children…
You say " loved" have you changed your mind?I have about him,I had to search a little to find something where he speaks about what's happening,I found it and it makes me sad..I loved his music also for almost 20 years,I won't listen to him anymore and I hope he changes what news he's taking in and how he feels about thousands of innocent people being murdered...In a land that already had people,Jewish people included....
Pls reach out sometime.... I would be so honered if we could find a moment in time to give worth for those having difficulties.... Spinning your music non stoppie bro.... Its all good, take your time....
Just to plant a seed for you to think obviously fire is cleansing. We know that ,and water is rebirth. It's time to accept Yeshua and get baptized. God bless, b safe, pray about it, God will tell you.
"Israel treats its Arabs properly"...did he just actually straight faced say that. Maybe Matisyahu is the one who needs to 'go out there and get some facts'.
20% of Israelis (as in, Israel proper, not the West Bank) are Arabs. Tell me, where are the Jews of Iraq, Yemen, Algeria, Syria, Libya, Lebanon…? What happened to them? They were persecuted and purged after Israel was formed and live in Israel now. Only Morocco has managed to treat its Jews ok as second class citizens. Odd to throw stones when Israel has done a much better job than any of its neighbors.
@petticoatjunction3628 first of all, tha fact that 20 percent of Israel proper is Arab has no bearing on the fact that Israel is systematically taking control of more land and oppressing Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. Second, because one country oppressed less than another does not vindicate oppression.
If all Israel wanted was peace their policies over the past 50 years would not have been to systematically and strategically take more and more land from the Palestinians. Israel would listen to Palestinians who would just like to go back to their homes, actual houses, that were given to and being lived in by Jewish settlers. Jewish settlers wouldn't look down on their Arab neighbours in the West Bank like outsiders and riff raff. It is a complicated situation for sure, but Matisyahu seems very one sided when he talks about the suffering of people. Israel has inflicted terror on the Palestinian people for a long time in their 'fight to survive'. Is it any wonder when a people are treated like animals a political movement like Hamas takes power? There isn't going to be peace until 'both' sides look at the others with respect, which gives me very little hope.
Read the history from the very start. And bear in mind that a lot of arabs who own the land before from the partitions made by united nations , they sold legally the land because that was slummy and they think israelis are crazy to buy the lands from them because it is barren land and impossible to plant something. BUT israelis are very brilliant and hardworking. They developed the land and now that is prosper and one.of the most developed land in the world, they wanted to get it and benefit from it. Also archeological remains that was dicovered which were verified internationally were evidence that more than 3000 yrs old from the date of discoveries. So biblically, historically at archeoligally, israel if for israelites. I STAND WITH is Israel even i
@@krisdiary5879 So I guess you agree with Israels plan to bomb Gaza till it is uninhabitable and create a population of refugees with nowhere to go but Egypt, and continue to saturate the West Bank with settlements till there is no room left for Arabs. I agree that is 'brilliant and hard working'. Terrorism comes in many forms.
Do you even listen to what he was saying if Israel put down their weapons, what would happen to the Jewish people? And what would happen if the Palestinians put their weapons? When you have death to the Jews in their charter for their government within Gaza, who is the real oppressors ?
The Jewish community has given up the land that they technically had 3000 years ago multiple times since 1948 four times be exact and it was given to the Muslim people so don’t come on here with that bullshit. You don’t even know the history the Jewish people Are the most persecuted people in the world throughout history
@leonardopatrizio well I'm waiting... oh, come now, I've already read your other comments... from the river to the sea...think. We don't know what that ideology means?
Palestine needs to free THEMSELVES & not with war. Like he said, put down their weapons & ideology of hate, invest in community & infrastructure (not tunnels & weapons), make a peace accord, & they would be free. Period. If they agreed to & abided by the terms of a peace agreement, the boundaries would be lifted. The boundaries are there for protection. Israel doesn't "control their electricity & water" as you have been lead to believe. Israel PROVIDES these things because Palestine & Hamas does not develop it for themselves. If they can create elaborate concrete tunnels, they could create sewers & power grids. Think about it. They've been in control for almost 20 years. But so long as they continue to suicide bomb & violently attack, borders will stay closed.....even the Muslim borders are closed to them. Ever wonder why? Because they even bring violence to other Muslim countries. Look up Palestinian refugees history with Lebanon, Jordan, & Egypt. There's a reason they do not take in the refugees. Because they are violent. And FYI, about 70% of Palestinians are in support of Hamas. They aren't all that innocent.
