No, if some of your friend make magnifient things you are proud of him. If you are in a organisation or team and your teal make magnificient thing you are proud of being part of tgis groups. So can be proud of being part of a nation or ethnicity for the a lot of points.
Arabs are the people in the arabian peninsula not the people living in the levant and elsewhere. Is it that hard to comprehend?? Go get yourself a history book!
There’s no reason to be proud to “be Arab” or be any ethnicity for that matter. Mark isn’t “proud to be Arab” he’s just a go-getter who happens to be interested in his diverse origins and shares the knowledge. That’s it. Don’t be surprised if he marries a non-Arab woman.
Oooooh finally a video about our beloved country Palestine.. Thank you Mark for the amazing video 🌸 All love and respect to all our Palestinian sisters and brothers.. from Kuwait 🇰🇼🖤❤🇵🇸
Bob Jim the British promised a partition plan. Many Zionist leaders had no intention of respecting that plan and were going to find ways to overtake the whole land from day 1....
At the same time the surrounding Arab states were talking about how they would invade and ethnically cleanse the Jews from the land, which is exactly what they did the moment the plan was put into place. The fact of the matter is, there never should have been a partition. Jews and Arabs should have built a secular state together.
I mean, every country has its beautiful parts. You could even go to horrible places like North Korea and find gems. Everywhere on earth is beautiful in theirown ways, and you can always find a diamond in the rough 😁
Thank you mark ! This was a beautiful done video. As a Palestinian American I really appreciate your honesty and sense of humor. The end made the video epic and brought a tear to my eye. If you are ever in the San Francisco area please join us for musakhan
Thanks Mark for this video ! My grandmother was a Palestinian Christian that got driven out of her home and was a refugee in Lebanon. She married a Lebanese Christian and through him got the citizenship. Here are some sad facts related to this conflict : - In a letter to his son in October 1937, the Israeli prime minister Ben-Gurion explained that partition would be a first step to "possession of the land as a whole". He had no intention of respecting the partition plan. Ben Guiron also said the following : “If I were a Palestinian leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” - Another quote by Ben Guiron in 1939 : “Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … “ - Thirty years before the UN partition plan more than 90% of the population was Palestinian. I don't think there's anywhere in the world where people would accept without a fight that a group of people from a different continent shows up and declares that they are more entitled to the land than the people who have been living there for generations and generations. Being opposed at the 'very beginning' isn't something people can hold against Palestinians. The land was taken over by a foreign power, foreign peoples were placed there, with the land forcibly divided between them. It's like saying Native American tribes should have "acted in good faith" when the colonists arrived. - What’s more, why would Palestinians accept to partition their land with people that saw them as sub-humans ? Articles in publications by a Zionist political party of the time (Lehi) wrote about Jewish "master race", contrasting them with Palestinians who were a “nation of slaves”. Lehi was unabashedly racist towards Palestinians. Their publications described Jews as a master race and Palestinians as a “slave race." Lehi called for mass expulsion of all Palestinians from Palestine and Transjordan, or even their physical annihilation. - John F Kennedy visited Palestine in 1938 and witnessed many terrorist Jewish groups bombing other Jews and trying to blame the Palestinians for it. - By the way the Cannanites were living on the land waaaaay before Moses and his Hebrew tribe came and “physically annihilated” the goyim as “commanded by god”. But oops...Turns out most Lebanese, Palestinians and Syrians have canaanic ancestry so NO, they did not manage to exterminate the native canaanites. - Israel started a war in 1967 with Arabs with the sole intention of annexing more land. - In 1981, a cease-fire was signed between the PLO and Israel, on one hand, according to a UN report, Israel violated the cease-fire 2,096 times (web.archive.org/web/20081202004040/domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/687deff0fe05590a85257019006e4036!OpenDocument). On the other hand the PLO "took great pains not to violate the [ceasefire] agreement of July 1981" and "the border between July 1981 and June 1982 enjoyed a state of calm unprecedented since 1968." [Morris, Righteous Victims, p. 509] - Israel has zero interest in any future peace agreement with the Palestinians, and politicians like Netanyahu and his right-wing fanatics have been ensuring that there is no longer any 2-state solution possible, leaving them with only a single option, which involves "annexing" all Palestinian territory and keeping the Palestinian people forever as 2nd class citizens under apartheid rule, because allowing them voting rights would mean the immediate change of Israel away from being the "Jewish state" into being a secular state, something the right-wing extremists currently running the country will never allow. - Ben Gurion also warned in 1948: Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes: “The old will die and the young will forget.”
All indications show that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is winding down, and the Palestinians will win the long struggle, and Israel will cease to exist as a State in the region within few years.
My family are from the refugees of 1948! they settled in Lebanon! Unfortunately my father is the palestinian, while my mom is the lebanese! I love both countries, but tell you the truth it's a huge struggle, and now it has become more suffocating here in lebanon than it ever was.

We arabs agree on nothing But we all agree that palestine is ours hope it will bring us all together and "Al quds" will be our capital Love from Algeria 🇩🇿
And Syria is not arab but syriac, and palestine is not arabs but cannaen and other, and Egypt is not arabs but coptic, and yemen is not arabs but qathanide, and EAU is not arabs but bedouin with indians and persian bloods....and even Hijaz is not Arabs but Adanites. So like Fermi paradox, Where is the Arabs ? I just ask.... *ironic mode off*
As you may be aware already, we Americans are having our own problems with human rights, civil rights and trying to keep a democracy rather than Trump's fascist theocracy. Our people are suffering, especially minorities. Hate has become "normalized" thanks to Trump. We want the world to know we stand with Palestine and we feel your pain. Americans do not like our tax money being used to fund apartheid Israel's bloodthirsty war machine. Please know the majority of Americans are good people and we love diversity and there are legion of us actively working to restore democracy in America and also to uphold human rights in other nations such as Palestine. CHANGE IS ON THE HORIZON.......WE WILL OVERCOME.......STAY STRONG!
Apartheid? Israel has over 1.9 million Israeli Arabs with equal rights, freedoms and opportunities, there are notable Israeli Arabs in all industries and even have an Arab party on the Israeli parliament, Israeli Arabs are respectable Israeli singers, actors, politicians, doctors, proffesors etc. You say Israel is bloody? What genocide? The Palestinian population has quantrippled since 1967 from 900,00 to over 5.4 million today, that makes their birthrate at the high of 3% meaning the average Palestinian mother has 4.78 kids that means the Palestinian growth rate is amongst the fastest and largest in the Arab world....that's the exact opposite of a genocide, either Israel is the worst at genocides or you're just a terrible lier! As well Israel is extremely diverse, street signs are in Hebrew, Arabic and English and the streets are filled with every colour, religion and language, Israel is extremely liberal and has offered the Palestinians land, peace, money (and actually left many settlements and gave lands and money) to the Palestinians for peace and everytime it was rejected and terrorism continued...they choose to fight through killing the innocent rather than actually making a state! Israel offered 16 times and the Palestinians rejected the same amount of times, *seems like Israel and the world want a free Palestine more than the Palestinians!* 😂😂
Noam Rotstain bruh STFU, the amount of bs in you’re comment section, Arab citizens of Israel go through racism and discrimination, their is literally segregation, and if u look carefully there are about 60 laws that discriminate Arab citizens of Israel, oh and also I suggest u watch Abby Martins journalism on Israel where she exposes the dark side of Israel, oh and also so what if Israel has signs of Arabic, English and Hebrew?? Mate in Arab countries they have signs of Arabic and English, damn and just look at human rights abuses committed against Palestinians in the West Bank, oh and you’re so-called “democratic state” killed an autistic Palestinian man, mate have u ever been to the West Bank?? Oh and you’re so-called “peace plan” didn’t allow the right of return to Palestinian refugees and Jerusalem would be Israel’s undivided capital, keep spreading you’re propaganda mate
Julio C I’ve never seen someone get called an Islamophobic for criticizing the Saudi government, oh and also fun fact: Both Jews and Arabs are part of the Semitic people (:
as a israeli, i really liked this video, it's make me see palestinian society in a completely different way. I had enough of this conflict. i really want that us, the younger generation, israelis and palestinians, would be fixing this situation together. we don't need history of bloodshed write our future. maybe, one day, we would laugh about those horrible events. #peaceforisraelandpalestine
If you live in Jerusalem, you are Israeli Arab, not Palestinian. If you want to be a Palestinian citizen so much, feel free to move to the other side. I bet you'll never do that, right? lol
As a Iranian I see the Palestinians as strong lighthearted, resilient people who deserve compassion and light It shatters and pains my heart to see the Beautiful, most hospitable people suffer in the hands of an evil Zionist regime 👟🇮🇱 Being a Palestinian is a honor, thogh i'm Iranian, I see Palestine as the Motherland I hope to see a Palestine, returned with its wonderful, beautiful honorable culture 💚🇵🇸🖤🤍❤️ With deep love to Iran and the brave Palestine men and Palestinian women love you from Iran ❤️🤍💚🦁❤️🤍💚🦁 فلسطين حرة، دمي فلسطيني ❤️🇵🇸🖤🤍❤️👑
Palestine is on my bucket list - what an amazing country...AND THE FOOD!!! Another great job Mark. Breaking down barriers through knowledge and understanding TY.
Bless you Mark for conveying your work in such a diligent way and meaningful way. I only wish you could have tackled other important cities in Palestine which are in the same league as the cities you mentioned. Jaffa, Caesaria, Saint Jean D’Acres, Haifa, Safad, Capernaum, Tiberias, Ascalan, Lydda, Ramle etc. you have done a great Job and it only makes me happy to see how you treat things with intelligence and profoundness. Shukran Mark.
But all those cities you mentioned are inside Israel today, and are not considered "Palestinian" by any means, and are not being even remotely close to the West Bank or Gaza! In fact, Safad, Capernaum, Tiberias are considered very Jewish ancient cities... So what exactly are you on about?
@@GPBKM These cities have a sizable Palestinian population, and are historically important to Palestine. The Palestinians living in these cities self identify as Palestinian. They share the same culture, dialect, food...
Samir Daoud, What historical significance does Nazareth has to Palestinian history???? What are you even on about??? Nazareth is historically a Jewish city since biblical times! What Palestinian history are you talking about??? Give me just one important Palestinian historical event that happened in those cities you're talking about: Nazareth, Safed, Tiberias... Just one event! 🤷🏻♂️
As an Israeli Jew, thank you for speaking the way you did. Even taking an exstra moment for saying the hebrew names of all these places. Thank you for not being hateful and simply talking about the beautiful culture of this country and about its history. 🌻
I don’t think he had a choice! How would it have been “hateful” if he didn’t mention the newly invented hebrew names of Palestinian cities and archeological sites?
@PassionOfLifee Shia was not practised by the salafs, it was established later on due to political reasons. Ali ra as well as hussein ra never practised shiaism, they were the followers of prophet Muhammad pbuh and were following his sunnah. Pure real Islam is the sunnah of our prophet and Quran, anything else of bidaa and politics has nth to do with islam.
Thank you , your knowledge is amazing I am Palestinian my son is Peruvian my daughter is Italian and for me to explain and teach all of this was hard but you broke it down amazing
Hi Mark, I'm Israeli and I thought that was a very nice and thoughtful video. I hope to achieve peace and prosperity with my Palestinian neighbors here. Thank you for being a voice of reason and respect
@@ssmmmfeaa8657 don't worry, I am a Palestinian in Israel and I see many Israelis fighting for peace, but we need more support! Peace is only possible if we want it to happen! Not governments! Peace, Salam, Shalom!

Love for my Palestinians brother form your Algerian brother in Algeria 🇩🇿❤️🇵🇸, We are all arabs. Thanks Mark awesome video as usual, i hope to see the episode about my country Algeria very soon 🇩🇿😍
@@sir_humpy Based on what I know, most of the Algerian are native Amazigh people who speaks an Arab dialect. Actually there is almost no real arab in Algeria. But same can be said in Lebanon, Egypt or most of the arab countries. The population is not Arab at all, just arabized.
I visited Palestine in summer 1984 with a little group of French people from the city of Lyon who helped financially children in Palestinese villages or refugees camps. I made the translations for them between arabic and french. We took only palestinian cabs. One french lady told me : "Marcel, you should have seen the face of the driver when you told him in arabic where we wanted to go". The driver was very friendly and I think he had mistaken us for Israelis at the beginning... I have nice memories of all the places we saw and the nice people we met in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Al-Khalil (Hebron), Naplus, Gaza, Nazareth, Tabariya, Al-Bira, Taybéh...
Long live Ireland from Palestinian you're the only nation who can feel us UK must give us compensations for the disaster they created children are dying day by day because of the UK and the disaster they created for us Uk currently is a very rich devolped and I'm sure they can solve the problem they created unfortunately none of them care they just say Israel Israel I don't hate Israel I want peace but there's another nation here there's wars destruction solve the disaster you created UK Give Palestinians British passport for free for the land you stole that might create peace I would love to make business in Uk if you do that but unfortunately none of you cares God will judge you 💔 🙏 not me if you just don't compensate
is it almost the same history, that the UK have with Scottland? becuz I read about that one and saw a serie about it called "OUTLANDER", another one called "REIGN". loved them
I am from Israel and I really want peace, I just wish I could visit Palestine without getting killed, entering areas under Palestinian Authority is illegal according to Israeli law for our own safety 🇮🇱 ❤🇵🇸
I think it's more the other way round. You are killing Palestinians much more than they have killed you. But judging from your username you will have been raised on hasbara. Shalom
greetings from PALESTINE , much love to all my arab brothers and sisters around the globe, may we all be ridden from the western governments distasteful intentions, EYAD's blood and thousands others who died for the cause won't be spilled in vain, justice must be served for peace to reside !
I loved this video and the ending brought tears to my eyes. The only thing I’d say is that I wish you discussed the history of the canaanites more, and talked more about how Palestinians are indigenous to the land and who are their ancestors/direct descendants etc. But overall it was a wonderful video I loved it so much! Thank you Mark!
Unfortunately there’s absolutely no scientific, historic or even archaeological proof for your claims! Moreover, there’s more historical proof that the Palestinians of today are mostly Arabs from the rest of the Arab world, mainly from Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc. The Palestinian family names reveal exactly where they came from, so no, they are not indigenous to that land and not even remotely close to the ancient Filistines or Canaanites. Trying to twist historical facts just to gain political power over that land won’t work in this case.
GPB Western perceptions of the East Mediterranean have been formed by a complex variety of factors, many imaginary, others real. Canaanites were looked at as unworthy and inferior demonic pagans. The Canaanites are supposed to descend from “Canaan” son of Ham, one of the sons of Noah. Canaan was cursed by Noah into slavery for no other reason than that Ham happened to see Noah’s Nudity. This messed up notion of an “idealized beneficent land” along with the concept of a people being favored and “chosen by God” and granted the right and the privilege to take it from its unworthy occupants is all reminiscent with other colonist projects such as the Americas, South Africa, and Isra*l. The larger Cana’an region didnt always identify themselves as a nation of a unified entity-since it was never an empire and it consisted of a lot of groups of city states and communities and other tribes and civilizations. The term “Arab” is very traversable and pliable in its connotations. Partly due to associations and history. Its complexity and multi faceted character, as it has been demonstrated in travel writing and literature which ranges from provoking fear, demonization, identification, idealization etc. One dimension of its significance of course is this stereotype of the nomadic life. The desert. Just like the sea itself or any other open fluid or landscape generates a variety of impressions and interpretations. For the “conservatively civilized” or reserved religious mind the desert is seen as “dangerous” and “uncontrollable”, a “desolation” and the nomad who lives in it is unpredictable untamed savage or evil. Throughout history of western usage, the term “Arab” has been confused with various other destinations and identities, such as “Saracen” “Muslim” “Turk” “Moor” and of course “Ishmaelite” and “Bedouin”. The main problem is that the image of the “Arab” fluctuates between that of the romantic desert nomad and that of the dangerous savage just as the people using the word “Arab” often confused Bedouins with other “Arabized” people in the region. Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians are ARABIZED. They are a mix of all the peoples that have resided in the Levant. The indigenous people of the levant, descended largely from Arameans, Canaanites/Phoenicians, etc. Levantine culture is nothing like Arabian peninsula culture. It is easily to exploit this confusion, especially if the intention is to vilify the people of the region, who are all then portrayed as “Arabs” Yet, when the biblically obsessed read the narratives about the nomadic “Israelites” they identify with them and see their values in a positive light. It was thus possible for an educated Englishman in the 17th century to transfer the Spanish term and refer to Palestinian villagers as “Moors” or for an 18th century traveler to fear the “Arabs” (Bedouins in this case) with no cause, and still assume the townspeople are all “Turks” or for a 19th century Cambridge professor of Arabic suggesting that the ”Bedawin” should be exterminated, for a US navy commander on an “expedition” to the Dead Sea to be instantly ready to shoot “Arabs” (whose image he meshes in his prejudiced mind with indigenous North American Native Americans and Black people. And the ancient Moabites of “incestuous origin”) on first suspicion of imagined treachery. Zi*nism relies on and employs all of these associations. You have been fed the infamous warped zi*nist propaganda. You have a lot of learning to do.
@@alyas3953 , LOL!!! You blame me for being fed with "zionist propaganda" when you are obviously brainwashed by Islamo-Fascist propaganda yourself... The simple truth is that the Palestinians of today are mostly Arab work immigrants, who now ridiculously claim they are indigenous to that land and demand a country they never had there before! Only by Palestinian last names you can get the truth of where they came from, like Al-Masri which means from Egypt, or Al-Bagdadi and the infamous Tamimi family who are from Iraq, etc.... Every single Palestinian family name shows the origin of where they came from! You can't deny that, no matter how much you will try to rewrite history.
THAAAAANK YOU for this amazing video. I've I've searching about past Palestine news and I finally found this amazing video that is too well researched, free of any biasness.
Very powerful video! Great work, Mark! It's absolutely awesome that you mentioned many great facts about Palestine such as history and food. Palestinian cuisine is diversified and delicious and Palestinian history is very rich and has deep roots for thousands of years. It is a great land and it's sad that people there still can't have their freedom and that they've been struggling for basic rights for a very long time as they are still living under occupation and discrimination. In addition to what Mark mentioned, there are many other beautiful Palestinian cities, towns, and villages which were occupied by Israel in 1948 bu they are now fully controlled by Israel. However, we should never forget that they are Palestinian towns and their native residents were forced to leave their houses when Israel was created in 1948. Really sad and unfair...
This video was just recommended to me and I'm so happy I clicked on it for many different reasons ! For the history , the different meaningful and beautiful sites that are there , the culture and definitely the food ! Im also happy I didn't see this during Ramadan ! Thank you for making this video it was amazing and I really hope to see more of them
I love your channel and all your videos are very informative and thoughtful. To be honest I was nervous for this episode especially being a Jew and having much family in Israel. Thank you for being extremely respectful and also saying the ancient Hebrew names as well as the Arabic names and even acknowledging that there was a kingdom if Israel and our historical and religious ties to the land. Me, my Israeli family, and friends have signed the justice for Eyad petition and hope justice will be served for the innocents lost during this terrible conflict. Inshallah peace 🇮🇱✌🏼🇵🇸

Most Christians don't know how much Muslims love Jesus. And most Jews don't know how much Muslims love Moses.

Most Christians know just as much about Muslims, as Muslims know about Christians.
@Jason M we mostly hear about the godless zionist jews because they work hard to silence the good God-fearing Jews who oppose zionism
@Jason M but why those jews whom did not care about moses wanted to claim jurusalem when in fact moses is their historical link toward that region
moses is one of the most mentioned porphets in the Quraan .

Thanks Mark for this video ! My grandmother was a Palestinian Christian that got driven out of her home and was a refugee in Lebanon. She married a Lebanese Christian and through him got the citizenship. Here are some sad facts related to this conflict :
- In a letter to his son in October 1937, the Israeli prime minister Ben-Gurion explained that partition would be a first step to "possession of the land as a whole". He had no intention of respecting the partition plan. Ben Guiron also said the following : “If I were a Palestinian leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”
- Another quote by Ben Guiron in 1939 : “Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … “
- Thirty years before the UN partition plan more than 90% of the population was Palestinian. I don't think there's anywhere in the world where people would accept without a fight that a group of people from a different continent shows up and declares that they are more entitled to the land than the people who have been living there for generations and generations. Being opposed at the 'very beginning' isn't something people can hold against Palestinians. The land was taken over by a foreign power, foreign peoples were placed there, with the land forcibly divided between them. It's like saying Native American tribes should have "acted in good faith" when the colonists arrived.
- What’s more, why would Palestinians accept to partition their land with people that saw them as sub-humans ? Articles in publications by a Zionist political party of the time (Lehi) wrote about Jewish "master race", contrasting them with Palestinians who were a “nation of slaves”. Lehi was unabashedly racist towards Palestinians. Their publications described Jews as a master race and Palestinians as a “slave race." Lehi called for mass expulsion of all Palestinians from Palestine and Transjordan, or even their physical annihilation.
- John F Kennedy visited Palestine in 1938 and witnessed many terrorist Jewish groups bombing other Jews and trying to blame the Palestinians for it.
- By the way the Cannanites were living on the land waaaaay before Moses and his Hebrew tribe came and “physically annihilated” the goyim as “commanded by god”. But oops...Turns out most Lebanese, Palestinians and Syrians have canaanic ancestry so NO, they did not manage to exterminate the native canaanites.
- Israel started a war in 1967 with Arabs with the sole intention of annexing more land.
- In 1981, a cease-fire was signed between the PLO and Israel, on one hand, according to a UN report, Israel violated the cease-fire 2,096 times (web.archive.org/web/20081202004040/domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/687deff0fe05590a85257019006e4036!OpenDocument). On the other hand the PLO "took great pains not to violate the [ceasefire] agreement of July 1981" and "the border between July 1981 and June 1982 enjoyed a state of calm unprecedented since 1968." [Morris, Righteous Victims, p. 509]
- Israel has zero interest in any future peace agreement with the Palestinians, and politicians like Netanyahu and his right-wing fanatics have been ensuring that there is no longer any 2-state solution possible, leaving them with only a single option, which involves "annexing" all Palestinian territory and keeping the Palestinian people forever as 2nd class citizens under apartheid rule, because allowing them voting rights would mean the immediate change of Israel away from being the "Jewish state" into being a secular state, something the right-wing extremists currently running the country will never allow.
- Ben Gurion also warned in 1948: Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes: “The old will die and the young will forget.”
All indications show that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is winding down, and the Palestinians will win the long struggle, and Israel will cease to exist as a State in the region within few years.
Thanks for this great history Summary.. Its very useful
My family are from the refugees of 1948! they settled in Lebanon! Unfortunately my father is the palestinian, while my mom is the lebanese! I love both countries, but tell you the truth it's a huge struggle, and now it has become more suffocating here in lebanon than it ever was.
Thanks! I really aprreciate the information!

We arabs agree on nothing
But we all agree that palestine is ours hope it will bring us all together and "Al quds" will be our capital Love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Couldn't have said it better
sorry but algeria is not arab
And Syria is not arab but syriac, and palestine is not arabs but cannaen and other, and Egypt is not arabs but coptic, and yemen is not arabs but qathanide, and EAU is not arabs but bedouin with indians and persian bloods....and even Hijaz is not Arabs but Adanites.
So like Fermi paradox, Where is the Arabs ? I just ask....
*ironic mode off*
zakaria bena don’t say this of course they’re Arab
Александр I’m sorry but they speak Arabic , it’s their official language that makes them Arab
As you may be aware already, we Americans are having our own problems with human rights, civil rights and trying to keep a democracy rather than Trump's fascist theocracy. Our people are suffering, especially minorities. Hate has become "normalized" thanks to Trump. We want the world to know we stand with Palestine and we feel your pain. Americans do not like our tax money being used to fund apartheid Israel's bloodthirsty war machine. Please know the majority of Americans are good people and we love diversity and there are legion of us actively working to restore democracy in America and also to uphold human rights in other nations such as Palestine. CHANGE IS ON THE HORIZON.......WE WILL OVERCOME.......STAY STRONG!

@Jose Lorenzana
Palestine dont exist
Apartheid? Israel has over 1.9 million Israeli Arabs with equal rights, freedoms and opportunities, there are notable Israeli Arabs in all industries and even have an Arab party on the Israeli parliament, Israeli Arabs are respectable Israeli singers, actors, politicians, doctors, proffesors etc. You say Israel is bloody? What genocide? The Palestinian population has quantrippled since 1967 from 900,00 to over 5.4 million today, that makes their birthrate at the high of 3% meaning the average Palestinian mother has 4.78 kids that means the Palestinian growth rate is amongst the fastest and largest in the Arab world....that's the exact opposite of a genocide, either Israel is the worst at genocides or you're just a terrible lier! As well Israel is extremely diverse, street signs are in Hebrew, Arabic and English and the streets are filled with every colour, religion and language, Israel is extremely liberal and has offered the Palestinians land, peace, money (and actually left many settlements and gave lands and money) to the Palestinians for peace and everytime it was rejected and terrorism continued...they choose to fight through killing the innocent rather than actually making a state! Israel offered 16 times and the Palestinians rejected the same amount of times, *seems like Israel and the world want a free Palestine more than the Palestinians!* 😂😂
Noam Rotstain bruh STFU, the amount of bs in you’re comment section, Arab citizens of Israel go through racism and discrimination, their is literally segregation, and if u look carefully there are about 60 laws that discriminate Arab citizens of Israel, oh and also I suggest u watch Abby Martins journalism on Israel where she exposes the dark side of Israel, oh and also so what if Israel has signs of Arabic, English and Hebrew?? Mate in Arab countries they have signs of Arabic and English, damn and just look at human rights abuses committed against Palestinians in the West Bank, oh and you’re so-called “democratic state” killed an autistic Palestinian man, mate have u ever been to the West Bank??
Oh and you’re so-called “peace plan” didn’t allow the right of return to Palestinian refugees and Jerusalem would be Israel’s undivided capital, keep spreading you’re propaganda mate
Noam Rotstain oh and imagine being investigated for war crimes 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Wow, easy with the antisemitism!
Julio C I’ve never seen someone get called an Islamophobic for criticizing the Saudi government, oh and also fun fact: Both Jews and Arabs are part of the Semitic people (:
@H. J. that's what the nazis at 4chan say. Check your privilege
as a israeli, i really liked this video, it's make me see palestinian society in a completely different way. I had enough of this conflict. i really want that us, the younger generation, israelis and palestinians, would be fixing this situation together. we don't need history of bloodshed write our future. maybe, one day, we would laugh about those horrible events. #peaceforisraelandpalestine
Happy you like it.
Peace upon my friend!
Never
peace must come from not oppressing Palestine the way Israel has done. Israel must stop suppressing Palestine’s right to exist.
I'm Jewish from Israel and I agree with you.
Peace brother

If you live in Jerusalem, you are Israeli Arab, not Palestinian. If you want to be a Palestinian citizen so much, feel free to move to the other side. I bet you'll never do that, right? lol

As a Iranian I see the Palestinians as strong lighthearted, resilient people who deserve compassion and light
It shatters and pains my heart to see the Beautiful, most hospitable people suffer in the hands of an evil Zionist regime 👟🇮🇱

Love you Palestine from Algerian living in America
You are always in my heart
Bless you Mark for conveying your work in such a diligent way and meaningful way. I only wish you could have tackled other important cities in Palestine which are in the same league as the cities you mentioned. Jaffa, Caesaria, Saint Jean D’Acres, Haifa, Safad, Capernaum, Tiberias, Ascalan, Lydda, Ramle etc.
you have done a great Job and it only makes me happy to see how you treat things with intelligence and profoundness. Shukran Mark.
You forgot Nazareth, an important and historic Palestinian city. But I agree with your statement.
Samir Daoud of course, how could I forget.
But all those cities you mentioned are inside Israel today, and are not considered "Palestinian" by any means, and are not being even remotely close to the West Bank or Gaza! In fact, Safad, Capernaum, Tiberias are considered very Jewish ancient cities... So what exactly are you on about?
@@GPBKM These cities have a sizable Palestinian population, and are historically important to Palestine. The Palestinians living in these cities self identify as Palestinian. They share the same culture, dialect, food...
Samir Daoud, What historical significance does Nazareth has to Palestinian history???? What are you even on about??? Nazareth is historically a Jewish city since biblical times! What Palestinian history are you talking about??? Give me just one important Palestinian historical event that happened in those cities you're talking about: Nazareth, Safed, Tiberias... Just one event! 🤷🏻♂️
As an Israeli Jew, thank you for speaking the way you did. Even taking an exstra moment for saying the hebrew names of all these places. Thank you for not being hateful and simply talking about the beautiful culture of this country and about its history. 🌻
כל ''ההיסטוריה'' בסרטון מסולפת ומעוותת
I don’t think he had a choice! How would it have been “hateful” if he didn’t mention the newly invented hebrew names of Palestinian cities and archeological sites?
You were born in a land which is not yours and never meant to be, God help you find your own. But it will never be an arab Muslim land.
@@samis7957 Some of the Hebrew names are biblical, certainly not a recent invention.
@@nura9098
The “City of David”? There is no evidence that a Jewish kingdom existed in Palestine!
You missed the Mamluks in between the Mongols and Ottomans.
Even the Seljuk truks.
@Muhammad Alghiffary Weren't the seljuks the ones because of whom the first crusade happened. And yea what the mamluks did was awesome
@PassionOfLifee Shia was not practised by the salafs, it was established later on due to political reasons. Ali ra as well as hussein ra never practised shiaism, they were the followers of prophet Muhammad pbuh and were following his sunnah. Pure real Islam is the sunnah of our prophet and Quran, anything else of bidaa and politics has nth to do with islam.
As a Palestinian tour guide I'd like to thank you! It's a beautiful video!
Perfect timing Habibi, thank you. I was looking through your channel for this 2 days ago
Thank you , your knowledge is amazing I am Palestinian my son is Peruvian my daughter is Italian and for me to explain and teach all of this was hard but you broke it down amazing
Hi Mark,
I'm Israeli and I thought that was a very nice and thoughtful video.
I hope to achieve peace and prosperity with my Palestinian neighbors here.
Thank you for being a voice of reason and respect

Are there many of you Arabs in Algeria? Where did the Kabyles go? Did you assimilate them all?
@@sir_humpy
Based on what I know, most of the Algerian are native Amazigh people who speaks an Arab dialect.
Actually there is almost no real arab in Algeria.
But same can be said in Lebanon, Egypt or most of the arab countries.
The population is not Arab at all, just arabized.

Palestine has so much history and wars that this land needs to breath. Its trees and nature is crying for some rest.
I visited Palestine in summer 1984 with a little group of French people from the city of Lyon who helped financially children in Palestinese villages or refugees camps. I made the translations for them between arabic and french. We took only palestinian cabs. One french lady told me : "Marcel, you should have seen the face of the driver when you told him in arabic where we wanted to go". The driver was very friendly and I think he had mistaken us for Israelis at the beginning... I have nice memories of all the places we saw and the nice people we met in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Al-Khalil (Hebron), Naplus, Gaza, Nazareth, Tabariya, Al-Bira, Taybéh...
Been there several times in my life. It was lovely and reminded me alot of the climate in california.

Bravo Mark!Good explain.Peace from Bosnia to lovely Palestine
Long live Ireland from Palestinian you're the only nation who can feel us UK must give us compensations for the disaster they created children are dying day by day because of the UK and the disaster they created for us Uk currently is a very rich devolped and I'm sure they can solve the problem they created unfortunately none of them care they just say Israel Israel I don't hate Israel I want peace but there's another nation here there's wars destruction solve the disaster you created UK
Give Palestinians British passport for free for the land you stole that might create peace I would love to make business in Uk if you do that but unfortunately none of you cares God will judge you 💔 🙏 not me if you just don't compensate
is it almost the same history, that the UK have with Scottland? becuz I read about that one and saw a serie about it called "OUTLANDER", another one called "REIGN". loved them
Thank you so much Mark , it's such a pleasure to have such influencers
I am from Israel and I really want peace, I just wish I could visit Palestine without getting killed, entering areas under Palestinian Authority is illegal according to Israeli law for our own safety

I had knafeh from there when I visited my cousins in Jordan❣️
I continue to admire you more and more man. Respect from Sana’a Yemen 🇾🇪
I loved this video and the ending brought tears to my eyes. The only thing I’d say is that I wish you discussed the history of the canaanites more, and talked more about how Palestinians are indigenous to the land and who are their ancestors/direct descendants etc. But overall it was a wonderful video I loved it so much! Thank you Mark!
Unfortunately there’s absolutely no scientific, historic or even archaeological proof for your claims! Moreover, there’s more historical proof that the Palestinians of today are mostly Arabs from the rest of the Arab world, mainly from Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc. The Palestinian family names reveal exactly where they came from, so no, they are not indigenous to that land and not even remotely close to the ancient Filistines or Canaanites. Trying to twist historical facts just to gain political power over that land won’t work in this case.
GPB
Western perceptions of the East Mediterranean have been formed by a complex variety of factors, many imaginary, others real.
Canaanites were looked at as unworthy and inferior demonic pagans. The Canaanites are supposed to descend from “Canaan” son of Ham, one of the sons of Noah. Canaan was cursed by Noah into slavery for no other reason than that Ham happened to see Noah’s Nudity.
This messed up notion of an “idealized beneficent land” along with the concept of a people being favored and “chosen by God” and granted the right and the privilege to take it from its unworthy occupants is all reminiscent with other colonist projects such as the Americas, South Africa, and Isra*l.
The larger Cana’an region didnt always identify themselves as a nation of a unified entity-since it was never an empire and it consisted of a lot of groups of city states and communities and other tribes and civilizations.
The term “Arab” is very traversable and pliable in its connotations. Partly due to associations and history. Its complexity and multi faceted character, as it has been demonstrated in travel writing and literature which ranges from provoking fear, demonization, identification, idealization etc. One dimension of its significance of course is this stereotype of the nomadic life. The desert. Just like the sea itself or any other open fluid or landscape generates a variety of impressions and interpretations. For the “conservatively civilized” or reserved religious mind the desert is seen as “dangerous” and “uncontrollable”, a “desolation” and the nomad who lives in it is unpredictable untamed savage or evil. Throughout history of western usage, the term “Arab” has been confused with various other destinations and identities, such as “Saracen” “Muslim” “Turk” “Moor” and of course “Ishmaelite” and “Bedouin”. The main problem is that the image of the “Arab” fluctuates between that of the romantic desert nomad and that of the dangerous savage just as the people using the word “Arab” often confused Bedouins with other “Arabized” people in the region. Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians are ARABIZED. They are a mix of all the peoples that have resided in the Levant. The indigenous people of the levant, descended largely from Arameans, Canaanites/Phoenicians, etc. Levantine culture is nothing like Arabian peninsula culture.
It is easily to exploit this confusion, especially if the intention is to vilify the people of the region, who are all then portrayed as “Arabs”
Yet, when the biblically obsessed read the narratives about the nomadic “Israelites” they identify with them and see their values in a positive light.
It was thus possible for an educated Englishman in the 17th century to transfer the Spanish term and refer to Palestinian villagers as “Moors” or for an 18th century traveler to fear the “Arabs” (Bedouins in this case) with no cause, and still assume the townspeople are all “Turks” or for a 19th century Cambridge professor of Arabic suggesting that the ”Bedawin” should be exterminated, for a US navy commander on an “expedition” to the Dead Sea to be instantly ready to shoot “Arabs” (whose image he meshes in his prejudiced mind with indigenous North American Native Americans and Black people. And the ancient Moabites of “incestuous origin”) on first suspicion of imagined treachery.
Zi*nism relies on and employs all of these associations.
You have been fed the infamous warped zi*nist propaganda.
You have a lot of learning to do.
@@alyas3953 , LOL!!! You blame me for being fed with "zionist propaganda" when you are obviously brainwashed by Islamo-Fascist propaganda yourself... The simple truth is that the Palestinians of today are mostly Arab work immigrants, who now ridiculously claim they are indigenous to that land and demand a country they never had there before! Only by Palestinian last names you can get the truth of where they came from, like Al-Masri which means from Egypt, or Al-Bagdadi and the infamous Tamimi family who are from Iraq, etc.... Every single Palestinian family name shows the origin of where they came from! You can't deny that, no matter how much you will try to rewrite history.

Very powerful video! Great work, Mark! It's absolutely awesome that you mentioned many great facts about Palestine such as history and food. Palestinian cuisine is diversified and delicious and Palestinian history is very rich and has deep roots for thousands of years. It is a great land and it's sad that people there still can't have their freedom and that they've been struggling for basic rights for a very long time as they are still living under occupation and discrimination. In addition to what Mark mentioned, there are many other beautiful Palestinian cities, towns, and villages which were occupied by Israel in 1948 bu they are now fully controlled by Israel. However, we should never forget that they are Palestinian towns and their native residents were forced to leave their houses when Israel was created in 1948. Really sad and unfair...
God bless, from Palestinian girl. Thank you 🙌
