All of the founding adherents of Christianity were Jewish and many of them probably remained in the Levant where their forebears had lived. I would suggest that the Palestinian Muslims and Christians currently present in the Land are largely descended from the indigenous Israelite/Jewish/Samaritan, Canaanite and Philistine inhabitants, and that Arabian incomers were marginal. It's probably not an opportune time for a wide-ranging DNA survey.

Yes, there were. 1300s, 1400s, 1500s… etc… in and out.. in the case of the 1500s, for example, they were driven out during the mamluk ottoman war into Beirut.. then made their way back 15 years later or so… they faced pogroms and expulsions much beyond the Romans… in and out… there were always Jews making their way back.. when ottomans took over, they were forbidden from owning land so they circumvented the system and bought land from Arab land owners and found ways to go back… but basically, many examples of returning to rebuild as much as they could much before Herzl was even a fetus.

@@rolandscales9380not true. Under the ottomans there were no “borders” so you had tons of little colonies of ethnic groups migrating… for work, mainly. The crusades killed so many most of the population were driven out… during Ottoman Empire you had Turks, Armenians, Circassian’s, samaritans, Jews, Arabs of Christian or Muslim faith, Sudanese migrations, moors, etc… after fall of Ottoman Empire huge influx of Arab peoples were sent in to fight or settle. Egypt alone funnelled few thousand of their citizens to what is today Tel Aviv… that is the historical record… that is why the Palestinians tout how “diverse” they are.. their collective identity wasn’t solidified until the 60s, for example. the territories are also quite different from village to village.. arabization has them all speaking a dialect of Arabic but they are very diverse bc they migrated from all over. So some can very well have Canaanite DNA but main Canaanite DNA was actually found in communities of Lebanese, who are not Arab but arabized at this point. Maronites, for example. So… it’s a common talking point to legitimize the “indigenous” origin of Palestinians but it’s a fallacy.

​@rolandscales9380 The ancient Arabu tribes actually lived in the areas of Gaza Sderot Ashkelon Ashdod Negeve Sinai. So Arabs aren't new to that region. The Prophet Ismaeel alay salaam was about 16 years older than Isaac alay salaam, which makes the Arab nation older than the Israelite nation.

The problems came when the Eastern European Jews emigrated to Palestine in the 1940's. Read the history books. They kept coming through immigration and too many came and the Arabs felt threatened because they were taking over. The Arabs couldn't stop their coming and so they went to war. Also, the Jews received help from the British the French and others so they got the upper hand, they had weapons. The Arabs had been left out of negotiations as well. Read the history. Hence, the Arabs/Palestinians have been having problems from the Jews and subsequently placed in a open-air prison for over 75 years, by these people who emigrated there from Eastern European Jews.

You are very welcome!

Thank you for the very kind words! Glad you found this video helpful.

Thank you for the kind words.

There were always Palestinian Jews

@@user-jy8vm1xz8x and this is why the contention that Israel is a European Colonial state is false. There is also the matter of the expulsion of Jews from Arab states at the founding of the state of Israel. More than a million Jews were forcibly removed from their communities throughout the Middle East and fled to or were sent to Israel. I’ve heard many people claim that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitic, based on belief in the Marxist-Leninist concepts of colonialism. Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, based on falsification and ignorance of history.

​@@user-jy8vm1xz8xWhat many people don't realise, is the majority of today's Palestinians are decendants of Jews and Christians who reverted to Islam, then again I'm just a conspiracy theorist

@@user-jy8vm1xz8x but jews are very tiny minority, less than 5%.

Not really. There has been large Arab economic migrants simply because they were closer neighbours

Thank you very much

True

Hello!

Most welcome!

They’re basically converted Christians who before were converted from Jews and Samritans. That’s my opinion at least

Well I know many are Arab from Arabian peninsula originally who came over with the Ottoman Empire and earlier Muslim conquests, but yeah I imagine some folks have been there all along w Jewish ethnic roots.

@@jessicajoy8751 since Israel/Palestine is actually part of the Arabian peninsula, it does not make sense to talk about them "coming over" from the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans conquered the Arabs, who were already there! Also, there were other peoples besides the Hebrews in Palestine in both biblical and Roman times, and some genetic testing of ancient remains identify "Arab" genes, so it is safe to say that Arabs have been present in Palestine/Israel/Judea as long as the Hebrew/Jewish people. We know that the earliest Christians were Hebrew/Jews, and it makes sense that some of the early converts to Islam in that area were also Jewish. For many, many, years Jews, Christians, and Arabs - along with other ethnicities and religions - lived in and shared the lands now called Israel.

@@lornamackay4069 It’s gotta be most likely a both/and answer - some folks have been there all along and became Christians and Muslims, some folks came in with the different conquests (even from ethnic and geographical neighbors/cousins) as others were expelled. I would like him to make a video on his understandings of this in particular. As people have toxic debates on who are the “real” indigenous peoples of the land and who are the “real” Jews ethnically, I am wanting to consume more grounded history on the subject. Israel/Palestine is its own place between Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula countries throughout history with its own specific peoples from all research I’ve done. It does make sense to talk about and ask about.

@@jessicajoy8751 I am sure you are right - some of the Palestinians are descended from the ancient inhabitants of the area (including Hebrew tribes) and some have immigrated there over the centuries (including descendants of Crusader, Greek, and Roman occupations). But rather than Israel/Palestine being "its own place between Egypt and Arabian Peninsula", Palestine has always had strong ties to the Mesopotamian area. In the Old Testament/Torah stories of the Hebrew patriarchs, many (including Abraham) came from what is now Syria and Iraq. Pre-1948 establishment of Israel, Syria was an important supplier and consumer of goods to and from Palestine, and no doubt the populations mixed not only in commerce. Trade with Lebanon is mentioned in the Bible, and continued over the centuries. So, Palestine/Israel probably had strong ties to the larger "fertile crescent" since pre-history.

Thanks for the reference!

I think the conflicts were prominent in the Estern and western European societies. Not so much in the Islamic world.

@@MR-dm1gx What about the Amalekites, Canaanites, or Babylonians? Were they East/West Europeans? Not at all. They had conflicts with whoever lived near them long before Christianity or Islam came into existence. Furthermore, they even had conflicts with their own God for not following his guidance. I guess God turned against them when some of them began worshiping the golden calf, which resulted in the destruction of their temples. I don't think the conflicts began with Christianity or Islam.

​@Humanoya Yes, but you could say that about most groups. Sunnis vs Shiites and Catholics vs Protestants. It's not a Jewish only issue.

We were kept in poverty-- farming is expensive

They were city or town inhabitans without any expirience in agriculture.

That soil went through a restoration process; including water. Israel, the land; and, Israel , the people make a "whole". They are meant to exist together.

They weren’t farmers in Ukraine. They were townspeople: merchants, craftspeople, financiers, innkeepers, brewers and distillers, tradespeople, etc. In many places they weren’t permitted to farm.

English is a mongrel language. It has many parent languages. Many words and usages in English from times when the English were conquered and times when the English or English speaking nations conquered. Besides all the conquering, the use of Latin or Greek as languages of scholarship also had an impact on the development of English. Even Arabic shows up in words like “algebra”.

@@MarcosElMalo2 Originally Engelisch was for the most part was the same as Holländisch-Deutch. But once they gained their freedom they started venturing out and corrupting every nation's language, religion, history, and culture with lies in order to gain access to their resources. And even though they gained their freedom the slave population was still 50% English people and most were tossed overboard at sea.🧐 Due to the amount of corruption they did to Christianity it will never be a branch of government ever again.

The Khazar leaders adopted the faith. Khazaria was in a critical location- between the Byzantines and Muslim caliphates and it was a political choice to choose Judaism. The Khazari folk were not forced to change their beliefs. See Arthur Koestler's "The Thirteenth Tribe".

Thank you.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD may I add, sir - history teaching like what you do is better when it influences decision-making among authorities to avoid mistakes in the future. In geo-politics, I'm wary of the possibility of having a Palestinian state which could be a precedence, say, for mainland China to legally claim all of south China Sea for the reason that the sea was named after her (China as point of reference) Philippines' right to exploit natural resources at our West Philippine Sea through UNCLOS becomes moot and academic.

@@HebrewsvJohnv Thank you for posting this. I’m an agnostic, so the scripture based arguments have less effect on me, but the historical facts you related comport with what I know. I think that there should be more emphasis placed on the expulsion of Middle Eastern Jews from Arab states at the time of Israel’s founding. This historical fact undermines the anti-Semitic argument that Jews are European colonizers. Imagine you and your family are kicked out of your home in Syria under threat of violence and forced to flee to Israel, AND THEN being told you’re a dirty European colonizer. I abhor much of what Israel is currently doing in Gaza. I repudiate the Netanyahu government and the voices of the bigoted Israeli ultra conservatives. But I won’t protest alongside anti-Semites and closet anti-Semites hiding behind the label of anti-Zionist.

These Christians and their missionaries are one of the causes of the current conflict between Arabs and Jews. I used to tell people that Christians will never support the the creation of the state of Israel if All Arabs including Saudi Arabia are Christians. Christians will never even support the rebuilding of the third temple because there will not be any need for Jesus blood as means of atonement soon as the temple is built and animal sacrifices resume.

Genesis Rabbah is Midrash…a creative commentary that isn’t scripture nor authoritative.

Interesting

@@christo-chaney my point was that the Midrash Rabba a 4th 5th century compilation of biblical exegesis used the term Palaestina for a geographical identification to the holy land.

@@zafirjoe18 that is because it was called Palestine then. But only because of the revolt in 136 CE prior to that it wasn’t.

@@christo-chaney correct! It was Hadrian , or like our sages added אנדרינוס שחיק טמיא who changed the name of Judea to Palaestina , after the fall of Beitar. He also renamed Jerusalem to Alia Capitolina . It was so called and left in ruins until the Arab conquest.

I do not disagree

@@HenryAbramsonPhD Thanks for that honest answer professor, those Christians just can’t tolerate your honesty !

Thanks for those accounts of Muslims killings , please give us accounts or records of killings of Jews by the Christians. Please list the holocaust last.

I’m interested in the treatment of Jews under the Mameluke caliphate that preceded the Ottoman Empire. From what I’ve gathered so far, there was a precipitous drop in the Jewish population during the Mameluke period.

The six millions that you slaughtered during the holocaust alone is nothing compared to those who were killed under Islamic rule though l don’t condone even the killing of a single innocent soul.
