This Muslim Israeli Woman Is the Future of the Middle East | FP in Israel

- Lucy Aharish is one of the most prominent television broadcasters in Israel-and the very first Arab Muslim news presenter on mainstream Hebrew-language Israeli television.
Born and raised in a small Jewish town in Israel’s Negev desert, as one of the only Arab Muslim families, she has a unique lens through which to view the divisions in Israeli society, the complexity of the country’s national identity, and the Middle East more generally.
Lucy has long been a vocal critic of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is equally critical of her fellow Arab Israelis, particularly of Arab violence and the Arab leadership that she says condones it.
A Muslim and a Zionist; an Arab and an Israeli. In short, Lucy Aharaish is an iconoclast.
Bari Weiss sat down with Lucy in Tel Aviv. They talked about the October 7 massacre and its impact on the country and her family-her husband put on his uniform and headed to the south within hours of hearing the news, despite being past the age of an active reservist. She also talked about the challenges she faced growing up as the only Arab Muslim kid in a traditional Jewish village, the terrorist attack that she survived in Gaza as a child, and the hope that she has for her Muslim-Jewish son and the future of the country she calls home.
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
❤️🩹🇨🇦🙏🏻
💔🙏❤️🩹🕊️❤️🙌🏼❤️🔥
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’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. 😊
@julie
You are a genocide supporter.
@@steveath
You think this conflict is about religion? Lol!
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 out of your mind she is Muslim see she wants in America see again hear the famous Israeli people don’t need hear …….
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. @@JoanCelestine
@@JoanCelestine You want me to side with terrorists, murders, thugs, misogynists and rapist's? No thanks.
@@JoanCelestine 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.
Its the best interview from a Arab lady ....that was emotional ,people should understand how Israel live in a land surrounded by Arabs
@navisel
The Arab lady who look white whose parents were/are the zionist collaaborators.
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?

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.

Palestinians aren’t allowed to see anything that challenges their narrative.
All Israelis know and love her and her husband.

It’s nice to see a Muslim Arab Israeli who is a genuine Zionist and respectful of a tiny Jewish nation existence and democratic in the Middle East surrounded by 20 or so Arab states. We pray for peace too
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.

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.

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
Everyone needs to hear this interview.
Wonderful.
The world needs more people like this fantastic person.
She understands what ‘peace’ means.
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 .
Protect this woman at all costs. She is the recipe for peace. ❤
@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
She's not in danger so we're good
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
Right now, muslims are being killed by the women idf😂😂😂😂@@moholah3745
I am Israeli and Jewish. We love you Lucy! You are part of our hope for a better future.
Fucking liars
Of course you will love her because she is a traitor 😂to her people, religion and values.
Lucy is not a Muslim name, she is not Muslim and wil never be
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.
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!❤❤❤❤
One of the best interview ive heard for a long time. Thank you ao much ❤
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. 🇮🇱💙
Amen
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.
Correct
Well said. However she pointed out that the racism she suffered was mostly after a terror attack. So, it was natural human reactionary issue.

Wow! What a rare wise personality! Righteous

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

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. 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 .

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.

@@user-oo8bw4qr3f 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.
This is very eye opening, I wish people from both sides see this interview and start thinking what they really stand for. I stand with Israel, a democratic Jewish state. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
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.
This lady deserves a lot of respect and credit for being open and courageous to reveal her perspective of this horrible conflict to the world.
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.

What do you mean by this comment? I understood all comments(even Jihadi ones) but couldn't understand this.
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.

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 has been one of the most interesting and valuable interviews I have heard in a very long time. Thank you.
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.

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?
@@Adamroable They still don’t accept her or the kid as being ‘real Israelis.’

@@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.
8:24 - 9:07
That's such a powerful anecdote. I'm Jewish and I can imagine when you're a kid experiencing discrimination like that, it's hard not to have thoughts of talking back to your classmates and other peers that see and treat you a certain way. I give many thanks that you were so understanding of the pain and constant horror of your Jewish peers that you didn't fight back. That takes a lot of courage, and the discrimination/racism is another topic of conversation that is certainly worth talking about that shouldn't be mixed in with other problems.
Voting Lucy for the next prime minister that’s what I say.
Seen hundreds of interviews past 4 months. This.... Bari and Lucy knock it out of the park.
Gaza Besieged, Jews Divided, & a World in Pain: Gabor, Aaron, & Daniel Maté in Conversation

A fascinating conversation with Lucy Harosh. The conflict is the story of her life, from which she has woven a love story for her husband, her son Adam, and her homeland. May God protect them. ❤
This woman needs to be recognized. I am in awe of her intellect and compassion for both sides of this conflict. She should be the pride and joy to all Jews and Arabs. All I can say is thank you and may you and your family be blessed!
Great woman, Lucy! God bless you and your family my sister. Love from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
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.
Holy shit, this should be on broadcast television this is so powerful
Excellent interview
My gosh this has been the best interview i have ever watched concerning this war against Israel! These women are bold! We need them to speak in every university! Bold as a Lion!
I love this lady
And as a Palestinian who happened to be born Muslim very proud of this strong lady
Keep going
Nobody is born muslim or christian.
Its a choice you must make.
@@corneliusdebeer2839born in a Muslim society, that’s what he meant.
@@corneliusdebeer2839in islam we believe we are all born Muslims then the parents corrupt the children to follow other faiths or become atheist etc
Yh, continue to love and supports those killing your people? Smart move to get Israeli passport; or is it American one 🤷🏿♀️
Peace and Blessings to you, your family and friends. Inshallah
this woman is an inspiration. what a strong human being! God bless.
Brilliant interview. Chillingly hinest. Thankyou Lucy and thankyou to the interviewer.
@@cassylane120 A bit chillingly inhuman. 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.
@@BailelaVida But, she has compassion and lays the blame on Hamas, not Israel. She is torn between her love of Israel and the freedom she enjoys, like nearly 2 million Arabs in Israel., and her love for her other people, the Palestinians. It is the radical factions of Palestinians that she so rightly blames,as they want to create an Islamic State, wiping out Israel.
Its almost like palestinians can be just like her if they stop trying to destroy israel all the time🤔🤔
"The occupied people" are not in her country. They are citizens of a different country and have independence to do whatever they want.
In the west bank they also have independence as the palestinian areas are ruled by the palestinian authority. @BailelaVida
@@BailelaVidawhat aparthaid?
So touching. Thanks Lucy. Im not Arab nor Jewish and it’s been a very insightful interview hope everyone could watch it. Shalom from Venezuela and Canada ❤
This leaves me with hope for peace in the region eventually
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
So moving and heart-wrenching. I admire her courage and cling to hope for Adam and all of us.
As an Israeli and a woman and a Jew I can say that I really admire Lucy! She represents the majority of people who wants peace and coexistence and freedom in Israel and the Middle East. I like that she promotes important discussions, that all of us can debate respectfully and hear other people’s beliefs and opinions.
How my God I love men but this woman’s intelligence blows me away I feel so connected to her and I’m Italian - American Mexican
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.
@@lolakauffmannThe israeli left was never needed as much as in this moment.
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.
I am a black American Christian woman. I have been to Israel once, back in October 2019. I will never forget that trip. It was amazing to actually be there and see it for myself. When we went to a Bedouin camp, they talked a bit about their Israeli identity and how they felt very Isreali. It was so interesting to be there and speak directly to people instead of only seeing things through the news. I love Israel and pray for peace! 🙏🏿🇮🇱🇺🇸
I went and it changed me. They changed me. They changed me by them being themselves.
I saw more black people speaking Hebrew than I see black people in America. 5 weeks in Israel and I still couldn't tell the difference between Israeli Israelis and Muslim Israelis, except in grocery stores where I'd see Muslim Israeli women wearing hijabs.
I was down at a truck stop near the southern corner of Gaza, I saw 3 bus loads of IDF soldiers pull in to get McDonald's walk past 4 Muslim Israeli men praying in the parking lot....I didn't see one bad look....I saw respect from the young soldiers. This is like Nov 20th!!!! I would not have believed it if I didn't see it. I saw every face I've ever seen in the whole world in Israel speaking Hebrew.
The Palestinian? They are like normal people in a zombie movie. Normal one minute and then the next bite by a zombie and turn into a zombie the next minute attacking.
@@dhardy6654all Islamic societies are honor shame societies, and mob violence is an inherent part of that. Female journalists in Egypt had to learn that the hard way when a normal rally turned into a rape mob in seconds. The west is screwed because they constantly project their individualistic worldview onto those cultures. They then fail to understand how precarious anyone’s “rights” are within such cultures. We are screwed
We say AA ...African American.
ZIO NAZI PROPAGANDA. USA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GENOCIDE. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

A beautiful and insightful interview... tragic yet hopeful
This is so touching. An important interview. Wish that a lot of people get the chance to watch it.
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 incredibly Inteligent and compassionate.
I agree with you
She is a smart girl ❤
This lady is amazing, brave and an inspiration to all 🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
I am so proud of Lucy . She represents the best that Israel does to make it possible for a poor Israeli Muslim girl to reach her true well educated potential. Only in Israe!!
My hat off to you young mother, may Adam's future be filled with peace, opportunities, love, and song in his heart
“If you want to do something extreme you will find the right excuse for it.”
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.
Israel is allowed it's extreme acts, ethnic cleansing for decades. But you won't talk about that.
'where do I hide my child' this is so hard to hear, every mother's worst nightmare how are there people going through this in 2024!
Thankyou for this conversation ❤
I love Lucy❤️…”they murdered my sense of compassion….They want to murder our humanity.”
No they fight for Justice!
U have no Humanity/ It was lost 75 years ago! Even as a victim of Holocaust u just should know better!
And not treat people like animals and even call them animals. U are just lucky that the western world did support u and there was no media. Otherwise the state israel would be long ago gone but iam a Christian and i will fight for the rest of my entire life against Ziontists!!!
by raping, murdering and teaching their kindergarten children to kill? ya, super moral people you fight for.@@user-oo8bw4qr3f

So many feelings and emotions in this interview. Lucy is an incredible person, and I'm so proud that she's Israeli.
This woman has such a beautiful soul and provides you with such a different prospective. She is a testament to her parents raising her to not have hate in her heart.
powerful! thank you for introducing me to Lucy. as typical American on the sidelines trying to understand the current war, this provides invaluable insight and empathy to both sides.
This interview with this highly intelligent and amazing woman should be heard around the world!!!! I was moved to tears by what she said about what where she was on October 7th and the rest of her interview. Actually EVERYTHING SHE SAID WAS BRILLIANT ‼️ I applaud her astuteness. Israel is fortunate to have her speaking out. God Bless her‼️🙏🤲
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.
