How are they outstanding? There are so many questions about them as to why they moved to a jewish town and from where? Why did they disassociate with their roots and not talk about it with lucy? It’s like listening to an Israeli J and her childhood feeling scared of Arabs. She speaks like everything is the fault of Palestinians.
I’m a non Jewish woman living in Israel, everything she is telling is so true. What she felt and thought on the 7th of October were the same thoughts and sensations I also had. You feel less alone listening this interview
@@angelinejohnson9511 after 75 years of being under threat .. two intifada in which stabbing Jews blowing up buses and buildings, constant rocket attacks … the state of Israel up to October 7 was thriving. The unprecedented violence that Hamas committed in ground air and naval attacks was certainly underestimated. But the kibbutz and music festival that were targeted by Hamas were of more left leaning Jews … intelligence had thought West Bank would have been a target. Not these people who were on good terms with Gaza citizens. More of a betrayal of the people from gaza don’t you think?
So, jews penalized the place that hired her to speak, and muslims blew up her entire family with a bomb. I think I can figure out who is worse on my own.
I watched this from Eldoret, Kenya. though this may not matter, i want to say that I am not an Israeli, nor Arab, I am a Black man and African who believes that all human beings should show love to the other person. I want to say that Lucy is the evidentiary relevance that we Human Beings should emulate . I share in her Philosophy that no human is different from the other, these races and whatever are just superficial forms of diversity. Lucy you are the face of truth and fight that we want, a fight to safeguard all humanity. Forgiveness is the ultimate goal to the mess in the Middle East.
To you in Kenya you have muslems there too it is not about race it is about Islam the religion of war and terror.So if you dont stop them now you will be like Nigeria or Israel.Advice send them to Somalia.
Lucy is wrong we have no other neighbors than the arabs so called palestinians.We israelis have to change that they have to leave the Land of Israel by hook or by krook Then there will be peace. Israel have no peace with Egypt nor with Jordan it is what they say in arabic Hudna=hostile but not open war.
The book of IS lam teaches the follower to destr0y Jws and Ch rist¡ans. She has lived among Jws and that's why she wasn't voli tile, BUT if she were among Mzlms then the attitude would be different as instructed by her re|¡g¡Ous book.
I am a non Jewish/Arab etc... ( Chinese ) and l applaud you in your brilliant speech.l need people like you to keep my sanity and to hold our future generations together.Thank you.
@@soudia9084 Hi Soudia, She is Israeli because her family remained within the boundaries of the new state of Israel in 1948 and were granted citizenship. A great many citizens of Israel are Arabs; Muslim, Christian, and Druze. They vote, hold office, pay taxes, etc.
Back in settler times, Portugal was the only country from which settlers didn't have to prove their Catholic ancestry when converting to New Christians. So the ☪ and ✡ were able to use that to pose as New Christians from Portugal while staying loyal to their ancestry, and it was in Portugal where they created their base of operations from where they ran the TA trade..........
Two powerhouse women. As an Israeli, I am so honoured we have women the calibre of Lucy as our face to the world. Bari, as always you set the benchmark high for superb, fearless and authentic journalism.
Lucy, thank you for your courage and your determination. I hear your pain and your sincerity and also your hopes for the future. Let's hope peace will envelope your part of the world. Please be safe. A Tunisian-American
This was incredibly moving! First, Mrs. Weiss, god bless you for upholding the highest standards of journalistic integrity. I admire you and The Free Press! Secondly, Lucy, as a Jew, I'm deeply moved and in awe of your courage and humanity! May God bless you and your entire family. You give me hope that one day Jews and Arabs will be able to peacefully coexist. Mazel Tov & Mashallah!
@@bromar6376I think you mean the Jews won back the land that had been stolen from them. Jews have lived there continuously for thousands of years. Isn't it time to make peace and share? The ancestors of both groups have been in violent struggles with each other multiple times. Palestinians must accept that their ancestors had stolen the land, just as the Israelis won it back after they were attacked in 1948. Never forget the horrors inflicted on the Jews by the Palestinians in the Hebron massacre of 1928, and in the hundreds of years before Israel was founded.
She is extremely, extremely intelligent, and comes from a good stock (just appreciate what her father used to teach her!!!) It is probably ironic to say that, but in her profession and position, extreme intelligence is a blessing.. but not a requirement.. The way PR works nowadays, her, admittedly, gorgeous looks, and even the fact that that she is a Muslim Arab pro-Israeli woman in Israel could have scored her million points in getting her TV Anchor job. But luckily for all of us, she is EXTREMELY intelligent... which helps... but does not, normally, serves as the devisive point for someone getting a job nowadays... So, as sad as it is, extreme intelligence is not to be taken for granted in a public figure. Let alone sincerity.
@sumiahaltalhi4767 she is stronger and far braver than you are. More knowledgeable and far more intelligent. You can wine. But you cannot contradict what she is actually saying.
I’m an American woman feeling so lost, heartbroken and enraged by what’s happening to Israel/Jews. I’m an atheist and politically homeless now too, since the left is objectively psychotic. Hearing from people like Lucy, Douglas Murray, Mosab Hassan Yousef and other courageous/ethical people is one of the only rays of hope I see and they’ll never know how much I appreciate them.
@juliesuzanne8011 I too am atheist & I wonder what would happen if we all woke up tomorrow & there was no concept of religion. To me, it is all man made, for power, riches & control. I wish there could be a government that truly cared about its’ citizens. No homelessness, good healthcare, good education, law & order without fear or favour …. sorry, I am going on ….anyway, I just wanted to let you know I agree with your post!
No honey the left is not lost. What is happening is a backlash to the conservative right wing push against society and schools. The left is raging now because the pressure cooker is about to explode. The left aren’t the bad guys, it just takes a lot of right wing abuse to ignite them. Now they are igniting and the rage is naturally exploding. 😊
All the self delusional belief systems called religions are harmful to varying degrees, some more than others. I share your pain regarding the political left and the right.
This interview bought me to tears. 😭😭😭Thank you for your insights and your story. You are an amazing women. May all Israelis have peace. ❤ Love from South Africa.
Are you an South African siding with Israel over Palestine? Would you please explain that Logic to me? The reason I ask is because I know not to long ago, South Africa had apartheid too, like they still have in Palestine today.
It just means you didn't listen to the interview... There is no apartheid here in Israel. The Arab citizens of Israel have equal rights just as Lucy explained at length. @@Joan.n.jensen
@@Joan.n.jensen And how has that worked out for us white South Africans and South Africans of all colours for that matter? It has now the second highest homicide rate in the world and the biggest inequality in the world. Israel must do whatever it needs to do to ensure it doesn't suffer the same fate as South Africa by allowing Arab Muslims to become a majority.
As an israeli druze, i love her story and loved this interview, she touched on the topic of apartheid and racism and its rare to see truthful facts on the internet like this
Dear lucy, as an israeli I stand behind your every word, you represent me more then any politician, you are the voice of truth, the voice of sanity, the voice of love and compassion. A role model and inspiration not only for israelis - jews and muslims alike, but for the human kind. Such an amazing and brave woman. Stay strong, you are not alone, I wish our country people like yourself in key positions, to lead us to a better future. Bless you.
From a South African, living in the Netherlands, a christian. Thank you Lucy! May the whole world hear your heart. My prayer is that your message can turn people from hate, from ignorance. God bless!
This is Lucy’s stories, other Palestinians living in Israel will tell You a different story. You seem to have forgotten your history, apartheid? South Africans were the bad ones, remember? They even locked Mandela up? 🤷🏿♀️
I'm speechless, so much love mixed with wisdom flows from her heart. I have never heard a better interview related to these difficult questions. ❤️🩹❤️🩹
@Coco_Ono I agree , people like that should be protected at all costs, the problem today is that one stupid viral reaction from an Ignorant full with hate and anger (whether Muslim or Jew or Christian or Buddhist) causes a damage that 100 like Lucy will have difficulty to correct.
@@thesilentway1086protected from what? Ignorant sheeps who worship the media. She’s been alive all that time, it’s the Palestinians in Palestine that are being butchered by the Israeli
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. Sahih Muslim 2922
I can't exactly say why, but I was in tears watching this. Both pain and hope. People like her and her husband show us in how they live their lives that we can certainly find again peace and coexistence between Muslim Arabs and Israeli Jews. May the days of this peace come one day sooner.
As long as muslim practices Islam then he cannot be peace with any other non muslim except muslim only why because of the quranic ideological belief . Quran chapter 9:29 says that if your neighbour jews or Christians then kill them in the name of Allahu Akbar. . Here muslims are not the problem. The problem is “ Quranuc teachings” Quran Chapter 9:29.. Then how can we stop this muslim hat redness towards the other religious like jewish and the Christians . SToP the teachings of quranic ideology.
I was deeply moved by Lucy and this interview. She has a very unique perspective but most importantly her life seems devoted to bringing unity within Israel. She speaks her truth and she is unabashedly honest. 🙏🏼
Lol she speaks truth/just the truth what u want to listen/ did u forget the Palestinian that the land belong to and the killings of them since 75 years
U are right in many things but U are still missing many points about the occupation. On the other hand I believe that U are honest and wish peace between all parties.
She is a self-absorbed narcissist just mouthing Zionist propaganda, so it's small wonder she's a treasured token on Israeli TV. The only incident of terrorism she recounts is one of the Palestinian resistance, nothing from the more than a century of settler-colonialist violence against the indigenous being driven from their historic homeland, including 7 decades of occupation that denies basic civil and human rights, such as the right to shelter and nutrition, a suppression that significantly intensified two years ago after a gradual rise in violence over 20 years. As for people globally demonstrating for a ceasefire, I amm Scottish-American and have been protesting Jewish supremacist racism since 1982, with other demonstrators of all ethnicities, many but not all who have lived in and have family in Gaza and elsewhere in historic Palestine. Israel is not a democracy except for Azhkenazi Jews. It has no constitution because it wishes to conceal its violation of all international laws. Israel is a client state of US and European imperialist, expansionist powers. It would collapse in two weeks if our taxdollars here in the US were not enabling it to survive in return for using the Palestinians as guinea pigs in weapon experimentation. spying on neighboring states. and doing dirty work helping train repressive forces for puppet governments around the world. In 1897 zionist leader Herzl appealed for support in settling Palestine to European monarchs on the grounds that zionist Jews would "serve as an outpost of civilization among the barbarians," and Israel has been paid for its racist servitude ever since.
@@alishiamati2675 Look at Germany, during the WW II nazzi killed million of people around the world and now they are friends with Israel, Russia, Ukraine, France, England, USA, Belgium ,Bulgaria, Latvia, ect
@@alishiamati2675 yes, it can! it is not difficult. People just need to let go of their dignity and submit to their enemies God. then you call live happily as second-class citizen.
Good parents. A wonderful daughter. I am a Jew and was in Israel in the 90s I’m sorry you had to go through that racism from our people. I hope we can learn and embrace each other. 🇮🇱💙
Oh stop it. Talk to a Jew who accidently wanders into an Arab village such as the Jewish reservists who got lost and were disembowelled by the Arabs. Israel is no more racist than any other country but with a whole lot more reason to be. Stop being such a self-righteous Jew from 10000 miles away.
why they come to arab regions? and stealing the land?? why not europe take them as the consequences of the holocaust? who did the holocaust? arab or european? and killing, massacre the indigenous people on that land??why?why?
Europeans should do more and help all Jewish immigrants who emigrated to Palestine and bring them home to Europe or from the areas where they emigrated from. The Second World War is over. It's time to go home.
Yes! She is able to do it because she experienced a free childhood and education in a democratic country with the result, that she loves this country and their people. They did a good job! I don't understand, why Israel is always criticized for everything.
Critisism is justified when a country acts as if it's behaviour is normal despite the entire world telling them to stop slaughtering thousands of innocent people.
I am an Indian Muslim married to a Jewish Israeli man who is yet serving in the Israeli army at a high post and it has been difficult for me and my children but your story resonates with everything we feel and thank you for coming out and speaking, it gives me personally and I'm sure many like us a lot of strength to keep our heads high and keep moving forward.
From a Jewish Israeli - thank you for this interview, Lucy. Most of the people of Israel want to coexist and we need to fight together against all extremists
I haven't come across an emotional story such as this in a long time. More power and grace to you, Lucy. I may forget so many painful things you have shared in this interview, but may I never forget you begged of us to never lose our sense of humanity. Thanks also to The FREE Press for hosting you!
Lucy is a live example of the coexistence between arabs and jews, and she's a very inspiring woman speaking as an Israeli arab myself, she is telling the truth that everyone outside of israel refuses to see ! We love you lucy
She is a self loathing person. Look in the comments at all the people saying that she and her son will never be considered real Israelis. This is the problem when living in an ethno supremacist state. Somebody like Lucy’s whole world revolves around being accepted, and in the end they tell her, you are good for PR, but don’t kid yourself by thinking you’re really one of us.
Lucy has a unique experience that gave her this perspective. I would be interested to hear if she had any brothers and how they saw things. A single girl in a classroom where everyone else was Jewish would not seem like a threat and would not necessarily motivate more violence. If there were five Muslim boys in the class with them, would their reaction have been different?
@@almostthere6098 she also mentioned why, she was raised in Demona traditional Jewish town, i am not saying there is no racism but it doesn't cancel the coexistence.
Yeah they’re monsters but the idf are Angels esp with their bombing of hospitals and thousands of amputated children and the soldiers wearing kids dresses.. you haven’t seen those too?
Lucy is so articulate and explaining the facts so clearly . I have tears in my y eyes when she says « I lost my sense of compassion « .As a French Jew living in the US I heard what is happened on October 7th ,I was beyond devastated .Now I have to listen to the president of Columbia University evading extremely serious questions .I am sick in my stomach .Lucy is an exceptional and highly intelligent person .May G-D bless her ,her family and all of Israel .
She is an honest well meaning lady, but not that intelligent or wise. If she were intelligent and smart, she would have left islam. It has nothing to offer but problems and dangerous ideology.
"They killed compassion... ...the sense of compassion in me... They murdered... the sense of compassion in me.... ... this is what Hamas wanted to do... and he was able to do it... We lost that day (Oct 7)... ...and they want us to lose this war... ... but I'm not willing to give them the benefit... ...of looking and seeing that we lost our humanity..." Wow; well said dear lady ❤️ (between 54:43 and 56:54 -- really worth listening to)
me too! shes so strong and an inspiration to me. i cant believe what she had to deal with in life. especially her “friends” at school :( jews should not treat anyone like that we need to do better
Wow, this was so honest, open, paInful, emotional, clear...all together. I thank you Lucy for speaking what you experienced and what you saw and see. Blessings from germany .
yes. but I hope she doesn't follow this 👇👇 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book(Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. Q-ran 9;29
@@mharro88 its not even a genocide, u just dk what a genocide is. she is the proof israel is fine with arabs existing lol. and they will have a better image in israeli society and there will be less israeli extremism too when all the tensions cool down and there r no more wars, which is a topic for another day
Hey dear Lucy. Me and other hundreds of thousands of liberal Israeli Jewish went ever week to the streets to struggle for free equal right Israel. You and other Muslim Arab are our hope, I'm so proud of fighting for a democratic Israel. God is in every one's hart. Keep fighting you are not alone.
Thank you to all those who took to the streets in Israel to defend Israel's democracy. Much love from Germany. People here also in the streets because some " ideas" are rearing their ugly heads again. No country can afford extremist leadership, but we less than any other country. Regardless the support for Israel it still pains me to know that Israel was neccesary. I'd have prefered none of our citizens had been slaughtered or left. I wish they were home.
I have heard many Israeli Arabs say they already have equal rights. And people like those who call themselves Palestinian and behave as terrorists don't deserve any rights.
@@lolakauffmann We have made too many people feel they needed Israel to be safe. It was our job to prove zionists wrong and labour bund right. We failed our citizens for hundreds of years ( yes, includes Spain and all the others, includes the arab world). Sad outcome. I wish they were all home. I wish my fellow German citizens were home and nobody had never been given any reason to follow some ultranationalists to a desert.
@@lolakauffmann We ( Europe and Middle East) have made too many of our citizens feel Israel was neccesary, for hundreds of years. We should have proven zionists wrong. They should all be home. They should have felt safe home. Israel is a remainder of our failure.
Now juxtapose that with police that have immunity trying to provoke targets to then charge them or just side stepping rights well established in case law.
Maybe you should know, it happens in western schools all the time for Jewish students.. They are taunted by Arab students, called names, like a filthy Jew, spit on. And it's not friends, so you wouldn't get it's not about you, though it is a little consolation of course, but still....I like the fact she didn't take it in, her father gave her support.
this is still in 2024. i am jewish and i live in RAMLE a mixed city of jews and arabs. the arabs inside israel are israelis and we live in harmony. only those in gaza and some in judea and samiria are extremist. we are fighting with the extremists, not muslims

What an absolutely brilliant interview. I cried along with Lucy Aharish. Inspirational. What a beautiful woman. This is what the world needs to see. 🕊☮💙
I as african i feel bad when I remember the sterilization of the black Ethiopian women by the state of Israel so that they won't give birth to black children. Ethiopian people should come back to africa. We're suffering in Africa but we're free. Godfobbid
Lucy is absolutely right about the lack of Education. Hope many listen to this amazing discussion and have a better understanding of the current situation.
I'm very well educated on what's going on. This conflict is very complex. See people keep picking sides as to who right and wrong. The reality is both sides are wrong. Let me correct that the system of goverments and policies are wrong. Israel taking of Palestine land and homes. It's occupation is wrong. It use Jewish settlers and IDF to threaten and harass Palestine is wrong. Hamas attacks against Israel is wrong its desire to kill the Jews and destroy Israel is wrong. PLA massive greed and corruption is wrong. Here the part no one seems to get get. The victims in all this are people caught in the middle. Israel actions and treatment have given birth to extreme groups like Hamas. Hamas attacks on Israel has lead to anger and hatred and fear of the Palesrine and Arabs. She said it her self that as kid she had friends telling her that Palestine need to die and wiped out. That has only gotten worse sense she was a kid. You can finds video after video of Israelis talking about how killing Palestine is good and how killing babies is good fun. There an extreme amount of hatred for Palestine in Israeli society. This is because of constant attacks and threats. The goveement telling the people that Palestine are animals and encouraging the hatred doesn't help matters either. Yet Palestine are constantly being bullied and oppressed and treated like animals. They are even killed often for minor or no reason at all. Hamas and PLA use thus to fuel hatred for Israel and Jewish people. So the real victims are people caught in middle. The Palestine people have suffered and died far more then Israelis have. They are way more of a victim then the Israeli people are. Here the harsh truth of things. The Palestine people been screwed over at every turn for the past 56 years. They have never been given any kind of chance to lead peaceful lives and prosperity. Israel treatment and policies on Palestine is beyond brutal. So they are treated like criminals and villains in a horror story with out actually really being one. So they never even get the benifit of the doubt or a chance. They are just lumped on wirh Hamas amd the PLA and thus they suffer for it. People say we'll Palestine voted for Hamas. Yea they did because at the time Hamas was less corrupt then PLA. They also had more money and resources thanks to Israel then PLA. Those were their choices. It's like choosing between Satan or Hilter. Your gone gone go with the lesser of two evils even though both are bad options. The Palestine have never been presented wirh a system of goverment built for the benifit of Palestine people. They never had a goverment who sought peace and prosperity for the Palestine people. On flip side Israel has not help matters by its actions and policies on the Palestine people. Taking their lands and homes. Oppressing them and making arrest and holding them with out charges. Then their the killing that been going and the abuse and torture and sexual assault and neglect of Palestine Prisoners. In short it's the fact that Israel has a boot to the neck of the Palestine people and they won't let them breath. This creates fear and terror which can fuel anger and hate and violence. People like to point to Gaza and the tunnels and Hamas building weapons in order to destroy Israel. Yet miss that Gaza had been under a seige for 16 years. Even North Korea, Iran and Cuba have not been treated as harshly as Israel has treated Gaza. The bottom line is the Palestine have been screwed over time and time again by like every one. From Israel to Hamas to PLA to the entire international community. It's been going on for so long that something had to give. Oct 7th was that something. Things need to change on all sides of this. This cam keep going on. Both sides need to stop fighting over this tiny sliver of land and figure how to live in peace. If not it's going to end badly for both sides. Right now I'm not entirely sure it won't iemd badly for bothsides. It's very possible this gone to far and nothing can pull them back from the destruction that will befall them if things keep playing out the way they are.
It's more like a lack of education in Israel. The Israeli textbooks don't mention the Nakba that started in November 1947. Israeli textbooks start with the Arabs invading after Ben Gurion proclaimed independence on May 15 1948.

Thank you Lucy Aharish for sharing your feeling and thoughts and thank you Bari Weiss for this interview and your journalism. It gives me hope listening to a person who has an open heart, an open mind, a strong moral compass, and courage to speak up as they see it. It gives me hope not for our time left in this world as a generation, but for our kids.

But the Palestinians are victims all the time. They made a big business out of it, collecting money from the world like no other country. But instead of building up their country they spent it on tunnel systems and weapons. Who says you had been better of in a Palestinian school?

This is the most even-handed, insightful, and informed piece I have seen on this conflict. Also extremely moving. This should be seen on mainstream media across the West. Thank you.
I’m an Iraqi Muslim living the US, and I’m totally agree about the far right or the extremist from both sides are willing to make us lose our humanity in order to manipulate more and more people for their political and religious interests, so, we all, should go back to our humanity and prevent the killing of innocent lives happening right now, this is insane that we’re watching this like nothing happened, and the hostages must be freed, especially the children and women NOW.
I read your response from Israel and offer a prayer that we are approaching the day when the Iraqi people will be freed from the oppression of pro-Iranian groups that are working to exploit Iraq to leverage political power. Hope for a future where many can live in peace in the Middle East.
@@theshumai from the Uk I’m praying also for you country to free themselves from Netanyahu the bigot full of cruelty dictatorship who will imprison his own citizens if they dar to speak the truth I don’t longer call Israel the only democracy in the region
@@gool54 Personally, I'm crossing my fingers that your wish will come true... Netanyahu's very radical government did tried to sabotage the democratic mechanisms of the country, but huge protests against the government succeeded - to my great relief - in curbing the attempts and Israel in practice has about the same degree of democracy it had last year (the most significant move they managed to pass was canceled later by the court, And at this point, even within the government, they start to declare that they will stop promoting the more extreme moves). In the last year polls Netanyahu is consistently very far from achieving a coalition in the next elections. So in the meantime one can cautiously hope that in the next elections your wish will come true. I wish for my country what I wish for the Palestinian and all the countries of the region, and the world in general - that the extremists will get out of power and the general public will choose moderate and reasonable leaders who are able to cooperate with each other in a way that benefits all sides.
@@gool54 LOL; Israel is a democracy. They're not afraid to speak out or demonstrate unlike Muslim countries who imprison or kill their own for doing so.
Bari, thank you for doing this interview. It was excellent. Lucy is all about courage, Legacy, integrity and call things as they are - most appreciated!
You missed the gist of the interview that was about taking a broader viewpoint and seeing events from other perspectives. Israel and Gaza are going to need peacemakers not partisans.
This is the most moving and incredible interview I have seen!! What an inspirational and intelligently put piece full of heart and compassion! We need more people like Lucy Aharish in this world! 🙌🏻🇮🇱❤️🙏🏻

There are no Jews left in Muslim countries. This IS GENOCIDE. There were 150,000 arabs in Gaza in 1948. Now there are 2,000,000 arabs there.

I feel honoured and humbled to see two such incredible, intelligent women meeting. It is at such moments we see the miracle that is the internet. Thank you: Lucy for sharing the richness of your experienced and thought, and Bari for your quiet facilitation.
I am so thankful for this interview. I have grown to appreciate much of your work in recent months, Bari, and Lucy to many of us Israelis is a balanced voice of reason. This was a very deep and real view of someone living in the complexity of Israel as a state, a vision, and an amalgam of cultures.
I just love how open and honest she is about the realities of Israel. I have been to Israel multiple times - a truly impressive country and people. And just like any other country out there, they have their issues and problems, and she points out both the good and the bad. You could tell she wants the best for Israel - she is both praising the country and its inhabitants and criticizing it. When she said Israel is a miracle, I just melted. I guarantee you, most countries won’t be able to deal with 1/3 of the problems Israel is faced with today.
Salute to your parents Lucy for raising a daughter like you. I pray for peace for Israel and Palestine. I am a catholic but I do not see difference in the faith of every muslim, jew and other religions. I have respect in how each of us manifests faith to a Divine Power up there. Let us please give our children the land with peace, kindness and love they freely enjoy. May Allah, may Jesus, may our Father bless all our minds and hearts. Thank you Lucy for that spirit of making co-existence between Jews and Muslim be made possible. You are worthy to emulate. Respect to your parents! I wish to meet you in person amd shake hand with you or hug you. May you get back that compassion in you.
From her description, her parents are outstanding people of exceptional character.
muslims are decieved ..
How are they outstanding? There are so many questions about them as to why they moved to a jewish town and from where? Why did they disassociate with their roots and not talk about it with lucy? It’s like listening to an Israeli J and her childhood feeling scared of Arabs. She speaks like everything is the fault of Palestinians.
I think she alone could bring peace to this land. Her message is about understanding & forgiveness
Yes. My deepest respect.

You feel less alone listening this interview

is it a sense of betrayal, that despite how much effort the Isreali state has put into security and infrastructure, it all failed? Other feelings?
Jews are defined by the people who hate Jews. Welcome.
@@angelinejohnson9511 after 75 years of being under threat .. two intifada in which stabbing Jews blowing up buses and buildings, constant rocket attacks … the state of Israel up to October 7 was thriving. The unprecedented violence that Hamas committed in ground air and naval attacks was certainly underestimated. But the kibbutz and music festival that were targeted by Hamas were of more left leaning Jews … intelligence had thought West Bank would have been a target. Not these people who were on good terms with Gaza citizens. More of a betrayal of the people from gaza don’t you think?

I watched this from Eldoret, Kenya. though this may not matter, i want to say that I am not an Israeli, nor Arab, I am a Black man and African who believes that all human beings should show love to the other person. I want to say that Lucy is the evidentiary relevance that we Human Beings should emulate . I share in her Philosophy that no human is different from the other, these races and whatever are just superficial forms of diversity. Lucy you are the face of truth and fight that we want, a fight to safeguard all humanity.

Well said brother...
To you in Kenya you have muslems there too it is not about race it is about Islam the religion of war and terror.So if you dont stop them now you will be like Nigeria or Israel.Advice send them to Somalia.
Lucy is wrong we have no other neighbors than the arabs so called palestinians.We israelis have to change that they have to leave the Land of Israel by hook or by krook
Then there will be peace.

Of course, she fits your narrative.
The book of IS lam teaches the follower to destr0y Jws and Ch rist¡ans. She has lived among Jws and that's why she wasn't voli tile, BUT if she were among Mzlms then the attitude would be different as instructed by her re|¡g¡Ous book.
What a classy person. All Israelis and Palestinians should be required to listen to this
Palestinians aren’t allowed to see anything that challenges their narrative.
All Israelis know and love her and her husband.

@@soudia9084 there is something called nationality..
@@soudia9084 Hi Soudia, She is Israeli because her family remained within the boundaries of the new state of Israel in 1948 and were granted citizenship. A great many citizens of Israel are Arabs; Muslim, Christian, and Druze. They vote, hold office, pay taxes, etc.
Back in settler times, Portugal was the only country from which settlers didn't have to prove their Catholic ancestry when converting to New Christians. So the ☪ and ✡ were able to use that to pose as New Christians from Portugal while staying loyal to their ancestry, and it was in Portugal where they created their base of operations from where they ran the TA trade..........

@@bromar6376I think you mean the Jews won back the land that had been stolen from them. Jews have lived there continuously for thousands of years. Isn't it time to make peace and share?
The ancestors of both groups have been in violent struggles with each other multiple times.
Palestinians must accept that their ancestors had stolen the land, just as the Israelis won it back after they were attacked in 1948.
Never forget the horrors inflicted on the Jews by the Palestinians in the Hebron massacre of 1928, and in the hundreds of years before Israel was founded.
Lucy Aharisha is a Israeli, Arab, Muslim WOMAN with "BIG balls"!!!!!
Thanks Lucy.
Such a strong woman. I’m so glad you refused victimhood.
We should never give up on peace…
She is extremely, extremely intelligent, and comes from a good stock (just appreciate what her father used to teach her!!!) It is probably ironic to say that, but in her profession and position, extreme intelligence is a blessing.. but not a requirement.. The way PR works nowadays, her, admittedly, gorgeous looks, and even the fact that that she is a Muslim Arab pro-Israeli woman in Israel could have scored her million points in getting her TV Anchor job. But luckily for all of us, she is EXTREMELY intelligent... which helps... but does not, normally, serves as the devisive point for someone getting a job nowadays... So, as sad as it is, extreme intelligence is not to be taken for granted in a public figure. Let alone sincerity.
She submitted to her oppressor, good for her 👏
@sumiahaltalhi4767 she is stronger and far braver than you are. More knowledgeable and far more intelligent. You can wine. But you cannot contradict what she is actually saying.
this approach is what causing to the failure of peace
@mariabelaev6490 u clearly u derestimate what it takes to speak in public on her level
Fantastic interview. Thank you Bari Weiss for giving Lucy so much room to speak. Thank you for letting us listen to her story.
I’m an American woman feeling so lost, heartbroken and enraged by what’s happening to Israel/Jews. I’m an atheist and politically homeless now too, since the left is objectively psychotic. Hearing from people like Lucy, Douglas Murray, Mosab Hassan Yousef and other courageous/ethical people is one of the only rays of hope I see and they’ll never know how much I appreciate them.
@juliesuzanne8011 I too am atheist & I wonder what would happen if we all woke up tomorrow & there was no concept of religion. To me, it is all man made, for power, riches & control. I wish there could be a government that truly cared about its’ citizens. No homelessness, good healthcare, good education, law & order without fear or favour …. sorry, I am going on ….anyway, I just wanted to let you know I agree with your post!
No honey the left is not lost. What is happening is a backlash to the conservative right wing push against society and schools. The left is raging now because the pressure cooker is about to explode. The left aren’t the bad guys, it just takes a lot of right wing abuse to ignite them. Now they are igniting and the rage is naturally exploding. 😊

I can't exactly say why, but I was in tears watching this. Both pain and hope. People like her and her husband show us in how they live their lives that we can certainly find again peace and coexistence between Muslim Arabs and Israeli Jews. May the days of this peace come one day sooner.
I don't think it will come. The Bible is clear.
As long as muslim practices Islam then he cannot be peace with any other non muslim except muslim only why because of the quranic ideological belief . Quran chapter 9:29 says that if your neighbour jews or Christians then kill them in the name of Allahu Akbar. . Here muslims are not the problem.

@@FranziskaGerspach theland belongs to jews o ly. Did you forget history and facts on the ground??
She is a self-absorbed narcissist just mouthing Zionist propaganda, so it's small wonder she's a treasured token on Israeli TV. The only incident of terrorism she recounts is one of the Palestinian resistance, nothing from the more than a century of settler-colonialist violence against the indigenous being driven from their historic homeland, including 7 decades of occupation that denies basic civil and human rights, such as the right to shelter and nutrition, a suppression that significantly intensified two years ago after a gradual rise in violence over 20 years. As for people globally demonstrating for a ceasefire, I amm Scottish-American and have been protesting Jewish supremacist racism since 1982, with other demonstrators of all ethnicities, many but not all who have lived in and have family in Gaza and elsewhere in historic Palestine. Israel is not a democracy except for Azhkenazi Jews. It has no constitution because it wishes to conceal its violation of all international laws. Israel is a client state of US and European imperialist, expansionist powers. It would collapse in two weeks if our taxdollars here in the US were not enabling it to survive in return for using the Palestinians as guinea pigs in weapon experimentation. spying on neighboring states. and doing dirty work helping train repressive forces for puppet governments around the world. In 1897 zionist leader Herzl appealed for support in settling Palestine to European monarchs on the grounds that zionist Jews would "serve as an outpost of civilization among the barbarians," and Israel has been paid for its racist servitude ever since.

Oh stop it. Talk to a Jew who accidently wanders into an Arab village such as the Jewish reservists who got lost and were disembowelled by the Arabs.
Israel is no more racist than any other country but with a whole lot more reason to be. Stop being such a self-righteous Jew from 10000 miles away.

Well said. However she pointed out that the racism she suffered was mostly after a terror attack. So, it was natural human reactionary issue.

She is a self loathing person. Look in the comments at all the people saying that she and her son will never be considered real Israelis.
This is the problem when living in an ethno supremacist state. Somebody like Lucy’s whole world revolves around being accepted, and in the end they tell her, you are good for PR, but don’t kid yourself by thinking you’re really one of us.
Lucy has a unique experience that gave her this perspective. I would be interested to hear if she had any brothers and how they saw things. A single girl in a classroom where everyone else was Jewish would not seem like a threat and would not necessarily motivate more violence. If there were five Muslim boys in the class with them, would their reaction have been different?

"Where is my nails polish" I' ll never forget that scene
Sorry, ut yr response is quite ignorant. This was the dissociative thought of a little girl, who was in shock!!!!!
How is my comment “ignorant”? You seem to not have understood what I said. Ironically, it is your comment which therefore demonstrates ignorance.
This Lady is incredibly Inteligent and compassionate.
I agree with you
She is a smart girl ❤
This is what we saw in Isreal during a visit in 2019, Arabs and Jews living side by side in peaceful harmony.
this is still in 2024. i am jewish and i live in RAMLE a mixed city of jews and arabs. the arabs inside israel are israelis and we live in harmony. only those in gaza and some in judea and samiria are extremist. we are fighting with the extremists, not muslims
@@asipalacios8701 we are not Jewish yet my husband and I loved the energy of Isreal and feel a deep sadness for the blind ignorant hatred we see is happening in western countries against Isreal.
yes , dark times have shown us that evil exists in big numbers, combined with the muslims propaganda its deadly@@cynthiacools-lartigue5297
Is there harmony between them in the westbank too?
I'm an Arab, but I don't hate Israelis and Jews, I'm only afraid of white people We used to see you as a white European We have not had a good history with Europe theay hurt us 💔I was afraid of Israel Because I saw it as a colony I also thought that theay will kill us licke red Indians but i undrestand there is good peopl in israil blive in to stat solution I still hope for peace
What an absolutely brilliant interview. I cried along with Lucy Aharish. Inspirational. What a beautiful woman. This is what the world needs to see. 🕊☮💙
Fantastic interview, thank you Lucy, you are a great inspiration
Now let's hear from an Israeli growing up in a Muslim surrounding.
Growing up as a Jew in a muzlim society is an oxymoron! Gut Shabbos.
I’m not a moslem but I have lived with Moslems for a long period of time. They are very welcoming and tolerant towards non Moslems.
@@margokupelian344
try it when declaring that u r an israeli jew...good luck.
@@margokupelian344some but the ones that truly follow their religion are not friendly to nonbelievers.
Moslems are the most peacefull people Joannadiaz? Stop being ignorant and get to know some and you will realize the brainwash from the zionists.
Absolutely POWERFUL! Thank you from my heart. Had me in tears.
I thank this channel and to Lucy Aharish for her time and her candor. God bless you
We are lucky to have Lucy and her open mind as one of us.
Or rather, she is the one lucky to have you, if you have an open mind indeed.
I as african i feel bad when I remember the sterilization of the black Ethiopian women by the state of Israel so that they won't give birth to black children. Ethiopian people should come back to africa. We're suffering in Africa but we're free. Godfobbid

Lucy is absolutely right about the lack of Education. Hope many listen to this amazing discussion and have a better understanding of the current situation.
Education = Whatever you want, Bibi.
This woman is a tool and she knows it.
I'm very well educated on what's going on. This conflict is very complex.
See people keep picking sides as to who right and wrong. The reality is both sides are wrong. Let me correct that the system of goverments and policies are wrong.
Israel taking of Palestine land and homes. It's occupation is wrong. It use Jewish settlers and IDF to threaten and harass Palestine is wrong.
Hamas attacks against Israel is wrong its desire to kill the Jews and destroy Israel is wrong. PLA massive greed and corruption is wrong.
Here the part no one seems to get get. The victims in all this are people caught in the middle. Israel actions and treatment have given birth to extreme groups like Hamas. Hamas attacks on Israel has lead to anger and hatred and fear of the Palesrine and Arabs.
She said it her self that as kid she had friends telling her that Palestine need to die and wiped out. That has only gotten worse sense she was a kid. You can finds video after video of Israelis talking about how killing Palestine is good and how killing babies is good fun. There an extreme amount of hatred for Palestine in Israeli society. This is because of constant attacks and threats. The goveement telling the people that Palestine are animals and encouraging the hatred doesn't help matters either.
Yet Palestine are constantly being bullied and oppressed and treated like animals. They are even killed often for minor or no reason at all. Hamas and PLA use thus to fuel hatred for Israel and Jewish people.
So the real victims are people caught in middle. The Palestine people have suffered and died far more then Israelis have. They are way more of a victim then the Israeli people are.
Here the harsh truth of things. The Palestine people been screwed over at every turn for the past 56 years. They have never been given any kind of chance to lead peaceful lives and prosperity.
Israel treatment and policies on Palestine is beyond brutal. So they are treated like criminals and villains in a horror story with out actually really being one. So they never even get the benifit of the doubt or a chance. They are just lumped on wirh Hamas amd the PLA and thus they suffer for it.
People say we'll Palestine voted for Hamas. Yea they did because at the time Hamas was less corrupt then PLA. They also had more money and resources thanks to Israel then PLA. Those were their choices. It's like choosing between Satan or Hilter. Your gone gone go with the lesser of two evils even though both are bad options.
The Palestine have never been presented wirh a system of goverment built for the benifit of Palestine people. They never had a goverment who sought peace and prosperity for the Palestine people.
On flip side Israel has not help matters by its actions and policies on the Palestine people. Taking their lands and homes. Oppressing them and making arrest and holding them with out charges. Then their the killing that been going and the abuse and torture and sexual assault and neglect of Palestine Prisoners. In short it's the fact that Israel has a boot to the neck of the Palestine people and they won't let them breath. This creates fear and terror which can fuel anger and hate and violence.
People like to point to Gaza and the tunnels and Hamas building weapons in order to destroy Israel. Yet miss that Gaza had been under a seige for 16 years. Even North Korea, Iran and Cuba have not been treated as harshly as Israel has treated Gaza.
The bottom line is the Palestine have been screwed over time and time again by like every one. From Israel to Hamas to PLA to the entire international community.
It's been going on for so long that something had to give. Oct 7th was that something. Things need to change on all sides of this. This cam keep going on. Both sides need to stop fighting over this tiny sliver of land and figure how to live in peace. If not it's going to end badly for both sides. Right now I'm not entirely sure it won't iemd badly for bothsides. It's very possible this gone to far and nothing can pull them back from the destruction that will befall them if things keep playing out the way they are.
@@vinnym5607 Why is she a "tool?" Because she says things that contradict your skewed view?
It's more like a lack of education in Israel. The Israeli textbooks don't mention the Nakba that started in November 1947. Israeli textbooks start with the Arabs invading after Ben Gurion proclaimed independence on May 15 1948.
@@vinnym5607 Perhaps she is not a 'tool', but it is obvious she is coming from a privileged position.
It would be nice if she had a little more compassion for the horrible plight and apartheid of the occupied people of her country.
This lady is amazing, brave and an inspiration to all 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Thank you, Lucy, my dearest sister. I deeply appreciate your strength in standing up and being the speaker of truth and for representing our grieving souls. ❤
that interview was so good, hope that is aired in more channels and listen from everyone
Most incredible interview I’ve watched on this event. An incredible person. Can’t be said better. Thank you
Lucy, you are the mother of redemption. We need more of your kind. SHALOM
Peace will be built by women like this.
'wrong word- peace.
@@אסתררוטמן-ת2כyou prefer war I guess
She would make a good president !
Peace is a Distant Dream
FORGET THAT... Lucy Aharish IS ONE IN A MILLION !
Lucy you are amazing, and we love you. I read so many ignorant comments of people who have never been in Israel or Palestine, and the sheer nonsense they believe in. We know the truth, and truth prevails. Always.
Thank you Lucy Aharish for sharing your feeling and thoughts and thank you Bari Weiss for this interview and your journalism. It gives me hope listening to a person who has an open heart, an open mind, a strong moral compass, and courage to speak up as they see it. It gives me hope not for our time left in this world as a generation, but for our kids.
This has to be one of the best interviews I've ever seen in my life. Thanks so much for this.
Everyone needs to hear this interview.
Wonderful.
The world needs more people like this fantastic person.
She understands what ‘peace’ means.
Greetings from Ethiopia, Lucy! I was enlightened by your interview on the complex reality of Israel and Palestine. Your words touched my heart and brought me to tears. I pray for peace and prosperity in Israel forever.
It’s not complex stop acting like it is one side is oppressed
@@lucymax2178 shows how much you know about this conflict. One of the most complex conflicts of our present time.
@@sandraabu3797 it’s not complex what’s so ever u just want to be blind to this occupation isn’t complex coming on boats from Africa and Europe isn’t complex genocide isn’t complex arresting kids without charge or without parents isn’t complex shooting kids innocent civilians isn’t complex
A Jewish Israeli here-I am so proud of the existence of her. She’s amazing and a voice that we as a society need to hear more🙏🏽
Yea, she is a great alibi.
She’s making the liars mad
Keep speaking the truth to the world
Back in settler times, Portugal was the only country from which settlers didn't have to prove their Catholic ancestry when converting to New Christians. So the ☪ and ✡ were able to use that to pose as New Christians from Portugal while staying loyal to their ancestry, and it was in Portugal where they created their base of operations from where they ran the TA trade......
I am a Catholic Christian but you are definitely one of my heroes. God bless you!
I love Lucy..
A Jewish Israeli here. Lucy represents the best there is in our society. I really love her, pure and simple.
She represents the best of humanity in the world. Thank you for representing Lucy🙏

came here from the Green Prince interview. i have to hear from them. thanks for speaking up. The right of self-determination is just that, you exercise it. Speak up, be counted !
This was an amazing, emotional and moving interview. Lucy is extraordinary in her humanity and brings a unique perspective that touched my heart. Thank you Bari.
I totally admire you Lucy. I believe there are so many people that wish they had your courage. You represent what our future should be in the world, so, please stay strong and committed, because we love you very much. God Bless you, and your whole family, Jewish and Muslim, amen.
My hat off to you young mother, may Adam's future be filled with peace, opportunities, love, and song in his heart
This incredible woman needs a 60 minutes prime time interview to tell the US the TRUTH!
But the Palestinians are victims all the time. They made a big business out of it, collecting money from the world like no other country. But instead of building up their country they spent it on tunnel systems and weapons.
Who says you had been better of in a Palestinian school? Listen to a Palestinian from Gaza attending an UNWRA school:
ua-cam.com/video/j8AiXu9Ek5A/v-deo.htmlsi=N9Nu_L7Hp2el3JSu
Yes yes yes
I understand exactly what she’s saying because when my family moved to the South in the US I went thru a similar situation . They hardly knew what a Jew was let alone a Yankee My family moved to another area because my sister and I didn’t want to go to school because we were Jews and bullied. It made me more understanding But I learned a lot about myself Never to think of myself as a victim
lmao what part of the south? I have a hard time believing this

This is the most even-handed, insightful, and informed piece I have seen on this conflict. Also extremely moving. This should be seen on mainstream media across the West. Thank you.
I am speechless. I am a Jewish American woman who feels the same way
I’m an Iraqi Muslim living the US, and I’m totally agree about the far right or the extremist from both sides are willing to make us lose our humanity in order to manipulate more and more people for their political and religious interests, so, we all, should go back to our humanity and prevent the killing of innocent lives happening right now, this is insane that we’re watching this like nothing happened, and the hostages must be freed, especially the children and women NOW.
I read your response from Israel and offer a prayer that we are approaching the day when the Iraqi people will be freed from the oppression of pro-Iranian groups that are working to exploit Iraq to leverage political power. Hope for a future where many can live in peace in the Middle East.
@@theshumai from the Uk I’m praying also for you country to free themselves from Netanyahu the bigot full of cruelty dictatorship who will imprison his own citizens if they dar to speak the truth I don’t longer call Israel the only democracy in the region
@@gool54 Personally, I'm crossing my fingers that your wish will come true... Netanyahu's very radical government did tried to sabotage the democratic mechanisms of the country, but huge protests against the government succeeded - to my great relief - in curbing the attempts and Israel in practice has about the same degree of democracy it had last year (the most significant move they managed to pass was canceled later by the court, And at this point, even within the government, they start to declare that they will stop promoting the more extreme moves). In the last year polls Netanyahu is consistently very far from achieving a coalition in the next elections. So in the meantime one can cautiously hope that in the next elections your wish will come true. I wish for my country what I wish for the Palestinian and all the countries of the region, and the world in general - that the extremists will get out of power and the general public will choose moderate and reasonable leaders who are able to cooperate with each other in a way that benefits all sides.
@@gool54 LOL; Israel is a democracy. They're not afraid to speak out or demonstrate unlike Muslim countries who imprison or kill their own for doing so.
Long live humanity!❤❤❤❤
Bari, thank you for doing this interview. It was excellent. Lucy is all about courage, Legacy, integrity and call things as they are - most appreciated!
I cried so much .. this is probably one of the most powerful interviews in israels history!
😂 omg cause it let out the important things u dont want to see: apartheid, create on stolen land, occupation, killing Palestinians, crimes etc.
@user-oo8bw4qr3f Thank you, obvious, troll account created on oct 25 for your insight into the subject.
You missed the gist of the interview that was about taking a broader viewpoint and seeing events from other perspectives.
Israel and Gaza are going to need peacemakers not partisans.
@@FranziskaGerspach
You miserable fool
Why is it so often do commenters called user_blah leave such asinine comments...?
WOOOW What a powerful interview I got goosebumps all over my body and tears in my eyes
This is the most moving and incredible interview I have seen!! What an inspirational and intelligently put piece full of heart and compassion! We need more people like Lucy Aharish in this world! 🙌🏻🇮🇱❤️🙏🏻
It would be nice if she had a little more compassion for the horrible plight and apartheid of the occupied people of her country.
She is obviously coming from a privileged position.
@@BailelaVida ---"It would be nice if she had a little more compassion for the horrible plight and apartheid of the occupied people of her country. "-----
Muslims have all civil rights in Israel, they have political parties and seats in the Knesset. They have the privilege quote enrolling in colleges in Israel. Show me Muslim countries with Jews in government! Show me Muslim country with Jews! (Jews lived there for thousands of years before WW2) 850,000 peaceful Jews, who did not kill, rape, or attack anybody, were killed and expelled from all muslim countries during and after WW2. There are no Jews left in Muslim countries. This IS GENOCIDE.
There were 150,000 arabs in Gaza in 1948. Now there are 2,000,000 arabs there. Jews are so not-talented "genociders", that they have to learn from Muslims! If arab from Muslim countries marry Israely arab - they always choose to live in Israel. They must like to be oppressed and genocided.
@@BailelaVida there is no apartheid. There is racism just like there is racism all around the world also in Arab countries. And she does talk about the racism. She won’t lie just to satisfy your narrative.
@@BailelaVida do you know what’s real apartheid? That Jews can’t visit their most holiest place because Palestinians won’t let them.
her parents are really something...kudos to them raising a fine strong Muslim woman.
I feel honoured and humbled to see two such incredible, intelligent women meeting. It is at such moments we see the miracle that is the internet. Thank you: Lucy for sharing the richness of your experienced and thought, and Bari for your quiet facilitation.
Lucy. I am christian. I support Israel. You are not a Victim. You are a beatiful child of God.
I am so thankful for this interview. I have grown to appreciate much of your work in recent months, Bari, and Lucy to many of us Israelis is a balanced voice of reason. This was a very deep and real view of someone living in the complexity of Israel as a state, a vision, and an amalgam of cultures.
I just love how open and honest she is about the realities of Israel. I have been to Israel multiple times - a truly impressive country and people. And just like any other country out there, they have their issues and problems, and she points out both the good and the bad. You could tell she wants the best for Israel - she is both praising the country and its inhabitants and criticizing it. When she said Israel is a miracle, I just melted.
I guarantee you, most countries won’t be able to deal with 1/3 of the problems Israel is faced with today.
Salute to your parents Lucy for raising a daughter like you. I pray for peace for Israel and Palestine. I am a catholic but I do not see difference in the faith of every muslim, jew and other religions. I have respect in how each of us manifests faith to a Divine Power up there. Let us please give our children the land with peace, kindness and love they freely enjoy. May Allah, may Jesus, may our Father bless all our minds and hearts. Thank you Lucy for that spirit of making co-existence between Jews and Muslim be made possible. You are worthy to emulate. Respect to your parents! I wish to meet you in person amd shake hand with you or hug you. May you get back that compassion in you.
