@@MrYitzhak She's first against Israel ideologically, that's her starting position (probably never reflected about it, only got it from her community), then she's thinking of the reasons for why, that's why its so laughable.
Funny thing is that I live beside Arab towns, and when the Jewish owned shops are closed on Shabbat or holidays, I go there to shop. Their shops are open on Jewish holidays AND Muslim holidays, so whoever works in those shops does not get any time off. In Israeli workplace the Muslims can choose between getting time off on Jewish holidays or Muslim holidays, and they choose Jewish time and time again because there are more Jewish holidays than Muslim ones.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Arabs in Israel (or any minority) gets Affirmative action if they need, to get into universities. I think people claiming apartheid in Israel are cheapening this term, they really have no idea what black people went through in South Africa. There's a lot of racism in Israel, and I wish there wasn't, but apartheid is one hell of an exaggeration.
So just because he asked a few out of few Rich Palestinians that might just have decent lives without apartheid, you think it aint true ? So we should find trouble for the Israelis but we should just not for the Palestinians ? Theres enough to find about how the apartheid is there enough video footage, interviews with the poor civs who get rocks trown at them every day, and worse tbh i expected better from pragurU

It's an aspiration in Islamic religion to take over the world. They will not stop until they do that. Read their book and you will understand why for 1500 years they have been killing civilians in the most satanic way ALL throughout history, dating back to Mohammad. They will always play victim of "second class citizen" and never be satisfied until the day they make the whole population of the entire world second class citizen and pay heavy Jizia (protection money) to Muslims. There will be no peace until there is one Islamic world, this is their religion written in their book by their prophet and what they teach to school kids. Wake up people.

@@UTU mmm No, you are wrong, there are almost none at all and those who remained did not stay because of what you claim but to secretly preserve Jewish history in Arab countries that systematically tried to destroy or take over synagogues and apartments and To this day, they are unwilling to acknowledge the persecution of the Jews from their lands, the murders and suffering they committed, and their part in the Holocaust and the looting of property. These people either hide and hide their Jewishness or are too old to leave but they don't say on billboards that they are Jews, some of them have Arab neighbors who grew up with them and help them but even these are few and the truth is that Arab countries will complain about Jews and Israel but 1. will not let Israeli Arabs move in with them and 2. the Israeli Arabs don't want to move because they know that in Israel they have the most rights and possibility to succeed .
@@moonshiro I'm an Israeli Jew, my family came here from Iran and Yemen, I think I know a thing or two about this issue. I cannot say much about Jews hiding their identity, since if they're not out in the open I never heard of them clearly. I can only speak of the few Jews we KNOW live in Arab nations and those people, often, are there because they are waiting for the Messiah to come. Sure, others are there because they're old, some because they couldn't move, but I didn't say EVERY Jew in an Arab nation is this kind or that. Was just stating a fact about how some Jews do live in Arab nations is all.
😂😂😂 the student complaining about not getting Muslim holidays off in a Jewish state... girl I feel ya! I'm a Jew in the USA...I don't get Jewish holidays of here either... but hey the upside, I'm always available to work the Christian holidays and my bosses always pay me almost double my regular pay to work those days. So 🤷 That's cool I guess? Allll a matter of perspective. Look for problems you find problems. Look for perks you find perks. Israel isn't the problem there your perspective is. ❤
There are no Jewish holidays. If your god wanted holidays he would prevent all people from working on those days. Also imagine no doctors or firefighters working on holidays because people should die, right?
not to mention, Muslims and Christians don’t have the same prohibition from work that Jews do on a yom tov. of course, they still deserve to have time off during holidays to spend with their families and communities and to pray, especially during fasting periods. the good part about a democratic society is that we have labor laws, Arab-Israelis are guaranteed a certain amount of days off from work like everyone else. they can use those days during Muslim or Christian holidays, and their employers can grant them extra time off in exchange for working during Jewish holidays (unless it’s a government job, or if the establishment or worksite itself is closed).
I'm an Arab Israeli and this video is telling the truth. Israel is the best country in the middleast. As an Arab I wouldn't live anywhere else if I had to stay in the middle-east. We have a saying in Israel that goes like this: The hell of the Jews is better than the Paradise of the Arabs.
Ok, I am not trying to argue with you. I genuinely want to know more. Why do you feel as though you would be better off living in Israel as opposed to an Arab country? Can you give me some more details?
That saying makes me laugh. Quite poignant, i like it. And thank you for sharing. I hope all people will stop the bloodshed, find reconciliation and peace in their hearts to forgive and live as brothers in harmony.
Israel is not just for Jews, Arabs that believe in the good that Israel are very much part of it. When I did my service the number of Arabs that volunteered when they don't have to shows how much they want the same thing.
I understand why she feels that way. Hopefully she would be aware enough to know it can only exist in dreams. While a few Arab countries are quite good in many ways, the UAE being one, none have the kinds of Western-like laws Israel does.
as a guy from israel i 100% agree most of the people here want hamas to be wiped off not palestine and we have 0 hate for Arabs. my dad used to go to gaza to his Arab friend every friday and buy vegtables now they still friend but cant meet each other
Yep. I'm a Jew living in Israel and I see many Arabs in my work (I work as an engineer in Intel) and they are just like everyone else. Same pay, same rights, same everything. They don't want any change. There is a small minority of trouble makers who "look for problems and find them", on both sides. The Palestinians living under the Palestinian authority cannot say such things on TV because they would get jailed for saying anything positive about Israel, but I suspect many of them also prefer to have a peaceful solution with Israel instead of trying to destroy it.
@@antoniom4099 ummm okay? Where did I say the PA doesn't recognize Israel? The reason I say the PA wants to destroy Israel is because it insists on a peace deal only if it includes "the right of return" which essentially means the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state. Also, the west bank got a lot of benefits since it stopped committing terror against Israel (even though Hamas tries). Mainly economic benefits, but also politic benefits. Israel was on the brink of peace with Saudi which was going to include more concessions from Israel to the Palestinians.
Of course if you live outside of a prison and you're not oppressed or humiliated every day everything will be fine. You're an engineer and you're sayint that they want to destroy israel which is stupid , how can they do it ? They just hate what israel has done to them and they have all rights to do it nothing more (I'm talking about civilians) Palestinians recognized israel many years ago we're still waiting for israel to recognize palestine and leave the west bank

A few years ago, I worked with a US naturalized Palestinian adult woman. She was Christian and lived in the US longer than she lived in Jordan. From time to time, she would express her dislike for Israel and how the Palestinians were victims of Israel's oppression. I asked her what she thought of Israeli Arabs and if they would willingly trade their standard of living with those Arabs in Gaza. Silence.
The Muslim student cracks me up. If you want a country that gives you Muslim holidays move to a Muslim country. I live in America. We only get Christian holidays off. We don't have Jewish, Muslim, African, Chinese etc. holidays off. If we did we would never work. We're mostly a Christian nation, so we have Christian holidays off. Israel is mostly a Jewish nation, so they only have Jewish holidays off.
You know I think they actually can take some days off on Muslims holidays although I'm not sure cause I know Christians don't work in Israel on Christmas and yet people don't seem to really care.
@@Hollandicus_bird In America most businesses are closed on Christmas and Easter. Those are national holidays. However, if a person is Jewish or Muslim by law the business has to let them take their religious holidays off because we have the first amendment that protects religious rights. However, these holidays are not national holidays. I'm sure it is similar in Israel since it is considered a democratic country.
According to Israeli work law every worker is intitled 9 days per year for holidays. Every Jewish worker receives those days for Jewish holidays. Non Jewish worker can receive those days either the same or for their religious holydays.

@@PROVOCATEURSK No because it’s not the same thing, Israel is the only country who actually takes care of Palestinians even though they explicitly call for the destruction of our country and our death. They’re also in the Knesset, in the health system, judges, and what not basically, they are part of our country which (most of them) deny. Maybe you should learn some history and see the difference.
That last girl doesn’t know what she is talking about 😂. Literally almost every country doesn’t celebrate Jewish holidays. Israel is one of the only places that celebrates Jewish Hollidays. I’m from a mainly Christian country and yet we still have Muslim holidays. You can’t be salty when there’s literally only a small minority of places that don’t celebrate your Hollidays. No Arab nation celebrates holidays of other religions. The freaken double standards are ridiculous 😂
What's sad about what's going on right now is that for centuries, Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine would protect each other from the Romans, the crusaders etc. Now it's all changed Because of government propaganda on both sides
I live in Austria, which as you surely know has a very horrific history regarding antisemitism. Usually, due to the country's constitutional neutrality, the government refuses to take sides in any conflicts (even in clear-cut cases where it's obvious who the bad guys are, like with Russia's brutal attack on Ukraine). However, in this case, even the government of Austria came out in full support of Israel. All good people around the world are on your side. Don't forget who your enemies are too. It's not a coincidence that Hamas fighters were shouting military-style commands (like "take cover" etc.) in Russian, and used tactics they clearly learned from Moscow (and Putin also invited Hamas' representatives shortly after the horrific attack of Oct 7th). I hope everyone who helped prepare & train for the events of Oct 7th will be found and brought to justice. Never again shouldn't be an empty slogan.

It's true that there are around 15-20 mandates (out of 120) of Arab parties. That said, only 5 mandates of them decided to join Bennett's coalition. Most Arab parties who are part of the parliament still won't accept Israel as legitimate.

"We are deeply disturbed by the failure of governments to heed our call and to achieve an immediate ceasefire," the group of experts, which included several U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement We are also profoundly concerned about the support of certain governments for Israel's strategy of warfare against the besieged population of Gaza, and the failure of the international system to mobilise to prevent genocide." U.N. experts had previously warned that the Palestinian people were at "grave risk of genocide"."
The term "apartheid", I feel, is thrown around very loosely perhaps by people who don't really know what apartheid means. The definition of apartheid is: Discrimination, even exclusion, of a part of the population, which does not have the same rights, places of residence or jobs as the rest of the community. On watching this video, I didn't get the impression, from the answers given, that these Israeli-Arabs were living in an apartheid state. In France, where I live, mainly in the big cities such as Paris or Marseille, you have areas which are mostly populated by people from Maghreb countries. It's a choice of the persons themselves and not imposed by the government. Perhaps proving the adage that "birds of a feather flock together".
You need to educate yourself. People didn’t say inside or the current state of Israel it’s an apartheid. They had agreements decades ago af free d displacing millions of Palestinians, throwing others in the apartheid West Bank and open air prison Gaza - a certain number of them in a specific area that were still existing after the invasion of Palestine and killing the rest, because Palestinians were the majority l- so there were specific areas that still had the Palestinians and after isrsel defeated the Palestinians and countries trying to hold onto their land - there was an agreement that gave citizenship to the remaining of Palestinians that weren’t killed and displaced as they were from a specific area that they couldn’t ethnically cleanse yet and they became a minority- so wasn’t a threat as much. It’s basic history. The West Bank is occupied by Israel and it’s an apartheid state and Gaza is an open air prison according to every single human rights organisation.

@@Jayy_sad You need to educate yourself. People are calling Israel an apartheid state. Jews have never not resided on the land - for over years. Before Islam existed. Just because you are the minority does not mean it is not your homeland, your indigenous homeland. And they were the minority because they were driven out - hence, the diaspora - by the rulers over time. The Romans, The Ottomans, etc. My DNA says that I originate in that land, but my ancestors have not been there since who knows when b/c of expulsion.
@@Jayy_sadthe current state of Israel is definitely not “home” to Palestinians. It’s the other way around. Islam is a fairly new religion and “Palestine” is also relatively new (not the land itself, simply the name) so how can in be their homeland??? Judaism is the first religion and that land is indigenous to the Jews. People are acting as if Israel is some colonizer from the west but the land was always theirs. The big issue is Muslims wants to completely wipe Jews off the map. The want the whole entire world to be Muslim. That’s why Hamas has never accepted a 2 state solution. No amount of land will suffice. Even if Jews lived in a tiny neighborhood that wouldn’t be enough. Why? It’s simply because they’re Jewish

The good part is that even though we are not Jews (I am a Christian and am from Southeast Asia) together with my Arab Muslim co workers we still get benefited during Jewish holidays because our farm would give us food relevant to the celebration. Also, my Arab Muslim co workers have 3 days paid off during ramadan and the company allow them to adjust their working time to observe their holy observance. @@DavidLanin

They had agreements decades ago af free d displacing millions of Palestinians, throwing others in the apartheid West Bank and open air prison Gaza - a certain number of them in a specific area that were still existing after the invasion of Palestine and killing the rest, because Palestinians were the majority l- so there were specific areas that still had the Palestinians and after isrsel defeated the Palestinians and countries trying to hold onto their land - there was an agreement that gave citizenship to the remaining of Palestinians that weren’t killed and displaced as they were from a specific area that they couldn’t ethnically cleanse yet and they became a minority- so wasn’t a threat as much. It’s basic history. The West Bank is occupied by Israel and it’s an apartheid state and Gaza is an open air prison according to every single human rights organisation. Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza don’t come from there - they come from from the current state of Israel ( that’s where their grandparents were for generations) the current state of Israel is the ancestral home of the Palestinians l. That’s why I’m 2018 they were protesting for the right to return to their homes they were displaced from. Palestinians were squeezed into Gaza and the West Bank. Many from the West Bank are from the current state of isrsel. Nobody refers to the current state of Israel as an apartheid. But the ethnic Palestinians in Israel are a minority now. But the real threat are the ones outside of the current state of isrsel. There are illegal settlements under international law in the West Bank and yes it’s an apartheid. According to every single human rights organisation in the world - Gaza is an occupied open air prison. I condemn Hamas and the actions they did on October 7( especially as a woman seeing a specific video) but educate yourself on the history !
I was raised in Israel as an Arab. The Israeli government provided all Israeli Arabs citizens a comprehensive support, including social services, education, human rights, and, significantly, human dignity. My family and I never encountered discrimination from any Jewish individuals. In contrast, relatives residing in other Arab countries in the Middle East express a longing for the freedoms and human rights that Arabs have enjoyed in Israel. They wished that they could come and live in Israel. Furthermore, a notable number of Muslim Arabs serve in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and are treated equally alongside Jewish soldiers, Arabs serve in the Israeli Gov't, and Parliament. Israel's inclusion of over 2 million Arab citizens challenges accusations of systemic racism and being Anti-Arabs by Israel.
So if you want to live in a nation that celebrates Arab holidays... move to an Arab nation. There is only one tiny nation in the whole world that has federal Jewish holidays.
That land was Palestinian and it’s Palestine and they’re native to the land as they are the indigenous Palestinians. If you don’t like it- get out ! And go back to where you came from !
Yes, unlike the propaganda, Arabs were not forced to leave by the Israelis. Many were TOLD to leave by the Arab states that attacked the new state of Israel, and some refused.
@@eldermaxson3198oh but it is. When was the last time you went in Israël ? Probably never. I go there every year and I can tell you that Arabs in Israël wouldn't exchange their life with any other Arabs in the middle east.
@@eldermaxson3198 man you talk about something you haven't witnessed. If Israël was really an apartheid regime tell me why you don't see Arabs in the streets in Israël to protest. But sure they would probably love to be in Gaza with their brothers. Keep in mind that neither Egypt nor Jordania want to host Palestinians. I wonder why lol. Beside that every other country in the middle east is either a monarchy or a dictatorship. Here in Israël, Arabs with the citizenship are allowed to vote. It makes a great difference. Women can decide whether or not they were the hijab, they can study, they are free. But sure an apartheid regime
I've been to Jaljulya many times. It's at the intersection of Highways 531 and 6, east of Raanana and Hod HaSharon. Great place to buy food. Nice people.
@@orrling If Israel leaves the West Bank, this land will become a new strategy against Israel with missiles. Today Israel employs thousands of Palestinians every day in Israel, and also brings them electricity, water, medicine and general security. This video showed you that Israel's thinking is more democratic and also supports two states in a certain sense, but the Palestinian side is not interested in this solution. As you heard in the interviews, everyone lives well in this settlement as Arabs and has freedom of religion within Israel, some call the whole land Palestine and some live as Israelis, as far as I'm concerned they can call themselves whatever they want as long as it's within the law. I am Jewish and Israeli and I do not believe in a two state solution, because I know the history of Judah and know that Palestine is trying to take control of the land according to the historical territorial lines of Israel/Judah and therefore apartheid is what Palestine is trying and not how Israel runs the country, and of course Israel must also have responsibility Because it is about rights and human life. The Jewish people suffered all these years from racism because of religion, they were thrown out of their land, expelled from countries (not a single Jew from Saudi Arabia returned to Israel in 1948 because already during the flourishing of Islam many were murdered and deported and since then no religious freedom was granted to the Jews there), and they still try to lie about it. The conflict is religious. In any case, despite the different opinions, the general coexistence between people is more important.
Actually, this is not new. Already when the first Jews came to Palestine, Palestinians worked as tenants on Arab owned manors. They had no rights, there was no Arab solidarity at all. So, when Jews started their collective farms (kibbutz) and factories but lacked enough working force among themselves, they invited Palestinians to come and work together with them for a high salary. Many Palestinians accepted this offer. But that meant that the Arab manor owners could no longer suppress them. In order to stop this escape, they paid professional trouble makers to create riots. It did not last long, so more Palestinians left from the Arab manors to Jewish enterprises, and the Arab nobility created a new riot, but still they failed. After the independence Israel gave its Palestinian citizens equal rights with Jews including voting rights, own schools and other institutions and cultural autonomy. Palestinian leaders were never interested in creating their own state. When Yasser Arafat finally made an agreement with Israel it was rejected by Arab fanatics like Hamas and Hezbollah, and Fatah (led by Yasser Arafat) lost the elections. Every time since every proposal has been rejected, and most Palestinians now live as parasites (so-called refugees) in Europe and elsewhere. They are not interested in building up their own state. And every time that they have started a new war they have lost. Today the situation is, that most Arab states turn their back on Palestinians and make agreements with Israel. As most Palestinians inside Israel see the advantages by living in Israel and not in Palestinian lead areas, and people from those areas, especially the West Bank, work in Israel every day, the trend is, that they will increasingly prefer to unite with Israel rather than live under an violent regime. Thus Israel will just grow until the entire West Bank is officially part of the country. Those, who hate Israel and Jews too much, will move to Gaza and live in misery and poverty for generations to come. But Palestinians will never get another chance to get "their own state". The last offer came from Donald Trump, and it was a favorable one, but that too was rejected. Now the train has finally left, and there will never come a new one.
@@donnyhand - seems like my answer was removed so a new attempt. My source is: E. Langlet: "Problemet Palestina" (Tiden, 28. yearbook (1936), pp. 408-417) (in Swedish). As proof of his claim he mentions that out of around 10.000 workers at the orange plantations near Tel Aviv and Jaffa about 7.500 were Arabs. Please note: this source is from 1936, that is when the events happened and thus not biased by later development. You may also look in Jewish American Yearbook for additional information.

@@lebohangsibongilemotsumi7733 saying they have a personal grudge isn’t a argument since your assuming that without any proof.

As an Israeli and Jewish it makes me happy to see this video. I worked with Arabs, went to school with Arabs and live with Arabs, but I never asked. We are one of the happiest nations in the world. We live in a complicated country, but who isn't.
As a new repatriate in Israel with Russian origin, I don't have a holiday neither on the New Year nor on the New Year's eve. And it used to be the most celebrated secular holiday for me. But taxes and holidays, they're for everybody in the country, same schedule, same scale. The tax scale is applied to everyone. It's not apartheid, neither does a high tax make one a second class citizen.
As an Israeli, I can confirm. Just a few weeks ago, i went to Abu Rhosh to eat in an Arab restaurant for my birthday. The servers were Arab, all was written in Hebrew, Arabic and English. 1/2 the people were Arab and 1/2 the people we're Israeli. Abu Rhosh is a great example of an Arab village in Israel where Arabs and Israelis are in peace.
I love the lady who complains about the taxes. Then about which Holidays are being celebrated. I live in NY 35 years ago. Our state universities celebrated Jewish holidays.
I had the same experience in grade school (NYC). My teachers would complain to my parents that I would become Jewish on those holidays, LOL. I was such a terrible student but my classmates and I truly were a melting pot, nobody cared about your religion, race, etc. I can't believe that the US has gone backwards.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 I went to 3 universities in the US, none of them had Jewish holidays off. I had a lot of understanding from professors when I was requesting to take time off for holidays, I would then be expected to make up for whatever I missed. No big deal. I think this woman is a spoiled brat. Israel provides her education opportunities and all she wishes for is its destruction. Btw, vast majority of Jews, who actually observe their holidays, are not in favor of imposing them onto the general population. And, it’s totally cool for the Jews to work during Christmas breaks to help out our Christian neighbors and co-workers. Oh, and most observant Jews don’t get offended when you wish them Merry Christmas. We know where we live, the USA is a Christian majority country. It’s ok to say Merry Christmas in your own country.
My guess is that most Palestinians in Israel would prefer to be first-class citizens in their own country, where there own culture prevails, but have the same quality of governance and economic prosperity that they have in Israel. Unfortunately, they can't seem to have both. That is their tragedy.
And clearly they are aware of this problem. But forced to choose between a better functioning government and society or being part of the majority demographically these people prefer a better functioning government/society
That Arab student's crazy complaints. LOL. When I ran a business in Australia, one of my Muslim employees complained about the unfairness of having to work on Muslim holidays, and being given Christian holidays instead. I responded that I had no such rule, and from that day onwards he took days off for Muslim holidays and came to work on Christian holidays. It actually worked out well for me as it turned out that customers would call on Christmas Day for assistance, and there he was ... by himself ... ready to help.
Jerusalem became the capital of Israel over 3000 years ago, that was 1600 years BEFORE the birth of Islam. Historically there has never been a state of Palestine.
I like how the student complains about israel and that it belongs to palestine, but then proceeds to say that she doesn't want to be a part of palestine.
As a Jewish girl in Israel the one who commented about the taxes . It’s true there are taxes but everyone pay them every citizen of Israel it’s not a discrimination against Arabs , if anything they pay less taxes and they don’t have to serve the army and they live here gooddd
she says she educated then she would know that everyone has to pay taxes. and for Arabs, the army is not obligatory, understandable, still she has a choice whereas Jews who defend the country she lives in don't. ALSO, How does she pay for school someone asked? I'd also like to know. She is so ungrateful idiot and lucky she lives in Israel. I would not want her around me. She really should move to an Arab country.
The red dress woman is so angry on the state she really stretching to find something against it (like taxes - as if it's different between Jews and Arabs) but when given an chance to live under "palestine" all over sudden it's hell no.
True, but in the UK (where I live) like most European countries the holiday allocation is very generous and employers would grant religious holidays as part of the generous holiday allocation. Muslims during Ramadan have a lot of understanding given to their situation.
hypocrisy at it best always wining and complaining about Israel but when they get the right to choose other country they always want Israel like... wtfff🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️
In South Africa everyone gets Christian holidays - if you are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu. etc. you would take leave on your respective days Some companies would have exceptions sure, but by and large that is what it is That's not discriminatory
To be honest I'm not sure what she said was entirely true, here in Israel I know Christians and Arabs, on Christmas my Christians friends don't come to work, and no one talks about it, they can do it freely same on Arab holidays, my father owns a small business and some of his workers are Arab Israelis and they don't come to work when there's a Muslim holiday.
Wow this is heartwarming! I feel so happy for the interviewees! Means what I felt as a child travelling in Israel and as a teenager speaking to arabs, palestinians and Jews there still is lived reality. I did not imagine the good vibes and the warmth between people, the practical, pragmatic, relalistic live and let live that seemed so natural and also appreciated by people. Omg I needed this today.
Imagine if your worst problems with your nation are holidays and taxes.
keep in mind the taxes that everyone pays like she does, and yet mentions palestine like she will get a better tax rate.

Funny thing is that I live beside Arab towns, and when the Jewish owned shops are closed on Shabbat or holidays, I go there to shop. Their shops are open on Jewish holidays AND Muslim holidays, so whoever works in those shops does not get any time off.
In Israeli workplace the Muslims can choose between getting time off on Jewish holidays or Muslim holidays, and they choose Jewish time and time again because there are more Jewish holidays than Muslim ones.
As a former student in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, we got off time for some Muslim holidays as well as Jewish.
yeah idk what she talking about, muslim christian and even druze holidays are days off in universities
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Arabs in Israel (or any minority) gets Affirmative action if they need, to get into universities.

It's an aspiration in Islamic religion to take over the world. They will not stop until they do that.

There are no Jewish holidays. If your god wanted holidays he would prevent all people from working on those days. Also imagine no doctors or firefighters working on holidays because people should die, right?
not to mention, Muslims and Christians don’t have the same prohibition from work that Jews do on a yom tov. of course, they still deserve to have time off during holidays to spend with their families and communities and to pray, especially during fasting periods. the good part about a democratic society is that we have labor laws, Arab-Israelis are guaranteed a certain amount of days off from work like everyone else. they can use those days during Muslim or Christian holidays, and their employers can grant them extra time off in exchange for working during Jewish holidays (unless it’s a government job, or if the establishment or worksite itself is closed).

Yep. I'm a Jew living in Israel and I see many Arabs in my work (I work as an engineer in Intel) and they are just like everyone else.
Same pay, same rights, same everything. They don't want any change. There is a small minority of trouble makers who "look for problems and find them", on both sides.
The Palestinians living under the Palestinian authority cannot say such things on TV because they would get jailed for saying anything positive about Israel, but I suspect many of them also prefer to have a peaceful solution with Israel instead of trying to destroy it.
The Palestinian Authority recognized Israel a while ago. Nothing has changed for Palestinians in the West Bank as more land is stolen from them.
@@antoniom4099 ummm okay?
Where did I say the PA doesn't recognize Israel? The reason I say the PA wants to destroy Israel is because it insists on a peace deal only if it includes "the right of return" which essentially means the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state.
Also, the west bank got a lot of benefits since it stopped committing terror against Israel (even though Hamas tries). Mainly economic benefits, but also politic benefits. Israel was on the brink of peace with Saudi which was going to include more concessions from Israel to the Palestinians.
Recently an Arab woman was arrested with her Husband for a WhatsApp story.
"Recognized" while maintaining terrorism out of it towards Israelis does not count.
Stop with the virtue signaling.@@antoniom4099
Of course if you live outside of a prison and you're not oppressed or humiliated every day everything will be fine.
You're an engineer and you're sayint that they want to destroy israel which is stupid , how can they do it ?
They just hate what israel has done to them and they have all rights to do it nothing more (I'm talking about civilians)
Palestinians recognized israel many years ago we're still waiting for israel to recognize palestine and leave the west bank

The Muslim student cracks me up. If you want a country that gives you Muslim holidays move to a Muslim country. I live in America. We only get Christian holidays off. We don't have Jewish, Muslim, African, Chinese etc. holidays off. If we did we would never work. We're mostly a Christian nation, so we have Christian holidays off. Israel is mostly a Jewish nation, so they only have Jewish holidays off.
You know I think they actually can take some days off on Muslims holidays although I'm not sure cause I know Christians don't work in Israel on Christmas and yet people don't seem to really care.
@@Hollandicus_bird In America most businesses are closed on Christmas and Easter. Those are national holidays. However, if a person is Jewish or Muslim by law the business has to let them take their religious holidays off because we have the first amendment that protects religious rights.

@@saltandlight316 yeah my father owns a small business and he said that his Arab Israeli workers don't work on Muslim holidays.

As an Israeli teen this video gives me so much hope. We shouldn't forget our allys in this war.
What's sad about what's going on right now is that for centuries, Jews and Arabs in Israel/Palestine would protect each other from the Romans, the crusaders etc. Now it's all changed Because of government propaganda on both sides
Christians around the world are also supporting and praying for Israel in the name of Yeshua.
I live in Austria, which as you surely know has a very horrific history regarding antisemitism. Usually, due to the country's constitutional neutrality, the government refuses to take sides in any conflicts (even in clear-cut cases where it's obvious who the bad guys are, like with Russia's brutal attack on Ukraine). However, in this case, even the government of Austria came out in full support of Israel. All good people around the world are on your side.
Don't forget who your enemies are too. It's not a coincidence that Hamas fighters were shouting military-style commands (like "take cover" etc.) in Russian, and used tactics they clearly learned from Moscow (and Putin also invited Hamas' representatives shortly after the horrific attack of Oct 7th). I hope everyone who helped prepare & train for the events of Oct 7th will be found and brought to justice. Never again shouldn't be an empty slogan.

"We are deeply disturbed by the failure of governments to heed our call and to achieve an immediate ceasefire," the group of experts, which included several U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement We are also profoundly concerned about the support of certain governments for Israel's strategy of warfare against the besieged population of Gaza, and the failure of the international system to mobilise to prevent genocide."
U.N. experts had previously warned that the Palestinian people were at "grave risk of genocide"."
This video is more significant than ever! Specially this time!
Exactly!

The term "apartheid", I feel, is thrown around very loosely perhaps by people who don't really know what apartheid means. The definition of apartheid is: Discrimination, even exclusion, of a part of the population, which does not have the same rights, places of residence or jobs as the rest of the community. On watching this video, I didn't get the impression, from the answers given, that these Israeli-Arabs were living in an apartheid state. In France, where I live, mainly in the big cities such as Paris or Marseille, you have areas which are mostly populated by people from Maghreb countries. It's a choice of the persons themselves and not imposed by the government. Perhaps proving the adage that "birds of a feather flock together".
You need to educate yourself. People didn’t say inside or the current state of Israel it’s an apartheid. They had agreements decades ago af free d displacing millions of Palestinians, throwing others in the apartheid West Bank and open air prison Gaza - a certain number of them in a specific area that were still existing after the invasion of Palestine and killing the rest, because Palestinians were the majority l- so there were specific areas that still had the Palestinians and after isrsel defeated the Palestinians and countries trying to hold onto their land - there was an agreement that gave citizenship to the remaining of Palestinians that weren’t killed and displaced as they were from a specific area that they couldn’t ethnically cleanse yet and they became a minority- so wasn’t a threat as much. It’s basic history. The West Bank is occupied by Israel and it’s an apartheid state and Gaza is an open air prison according to every single human rights organisation. Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza don’t come from there - they come from from the current state of Israel ( that’s where their grandparents were for generations) the current state of Israel is the ancestral home of the Palestinians l. That’s why I’m 2018 they were protesting for the right to return to their homes they were displaced from. Palestinians were squeezed into Gaza and the West Bank. Many from the West Bank are from the current state of isrsel. Nobody refers to the current state of Israel as an apartheid. But the ethnic Palestinians in Israel are a minority now. But the real threat are the ones outside of the current state of isrsel. There are illegal settlements under international law in the West Bank and yes it’s an apartheid.

@@Jayy_sad you do forget that Palestinian don't want a country only in the west bank, they want everything and to cleanse all Jews from the land. If they wanted to establish a state in the west bank and Gaza they could have done it decades ago when it wasn't even under Israel occupation. The west bank was under Jordan and Gaza under Egypt.
@@Jayy_sad There are people who say that Israel is an apartheid state
@@Jayy_sad You need to educate yourself. People are calling Israel an apartheid state. Jews have never not resided on the land - for over years. Before Islam existed. Just because you are the minority does not mean it is not your homeland, your indigenous homeland. And they were the minority because they were driven out - hence, the diaspora - by the rulers over time. The Romans, The Ottomans, etc. My DNA says that I originate in that land, but my ancestors have not been there since who knows when b/c of expulsion.
@@Jayy_sadthe current state of Israel is definitely not “home” to Palestinians. It’s the other way around. Islam is a fairly new religion and “Palestine” is also relatively new (not the land itself, simply the name) so how can in be their homeland??? Judaism is the first religion and that land is indigenous to the Jews. People are acting as if Israel is some colonizer from the west but the land was always theirs. The big issue is Muslims wants to completely wipe Jews off the map. The want the whole entire world to be Muslim. That’s why Hamas has never accepted a 2 state solution. No amount of land will suffice. Even if Jews lived in a tiny neighborhood that wouldn’t be enough. Why? It’s simply because they’re Jewish

@@DavidLanin So, Exactly same amount of holidays you mean? Non Jews will also get holidays on Jewish festivals. I don't see a problem?
this is true. I used to work in a farm and we had this benefit of 9 days which is convertible to cash when not used. The good part is that even though we are not Jews (I am a Christian and am from Southeast Asia) together with my Arab Muslim co workers we still get benefited during Jewish holidays because our farm would give us food relevant to the celebration. Also, my Arab Muslim co workers have 3 days paid off during ramadan and the company allow them to adjust their working time to observe their holy observance. @@DavidLanin

Share this video with others!
Honestly until I went to Israel I thought only Muslims were in Gaza and the West Bank. I didn't realize that there were Muslims in the rest of Israel. I remember I had lunch with a few non Jewish people in Israel. One was an Armenian (I think) guy born and raised in Israel raised Christian. I mentioned something about him having a Palestinian passport and allowed to live in Jerusalem. He looked at me strangely insisting he was an Israeli and later showed me he has an Israeli passport and served in the IDF. I truly believed it was a fully segregated country until my trip.
I wish you asked the law student how she paid for her studies..

this needed to be seen today
I was raised in Israel as an Arab. The Israeli government provided all Israeli Arabs citizens a comprehensive support, including social services, education, human rights, and, significantly, human dignity. My family and I never encountered discrimination from any Jewish individuals. In contrast, relatives residing in other Arab countries in the Middle East express a longing for the freedoms and human rights that Arabs have enjoyed in Israel. They wished that they could come and live in Israel. Furthermore, a notable number of Muslim Arabs serve in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and are treated equally alongside Jewish soldiers, Arabs serve in the Israeli Gov't, and Parliament. Israel's inclusion of over 2 million Arab citizens challenges accusations of systemic racism and being Anti-Arabs by Israel.
Doesn’t mean Israel is not SETTLER COLONIALISM!!!
It's very clear what the people want, live and study, work and raised their families in safety, no doubt, they prefer Israel ❤️!🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️
please get this message out to a wider audience ....
So if you want to live in a nation that celebrates Arab holidays... move to an Arab nation. There is only one tiny nation in the whole world that has federal Jewish holidays.
That land was Palestinian and it’s Palestine and they’re native to the land as they are the indigenous Palestinians. If you don’t like it- get out ! And go back to where you came from !
Do more of these please!!

I am Jewish and Israeli and I do not believe in a two state solution, because I know the history of Judah and know that Palestine is trying to take control of the land according to the historical territorial lines of Israel/Judah and therefore apartheid is what Palestine is trying and not how Israel runs the country, and of course Israel must also have responsibility Because it is about rights and human life. The Jewish people suffered all these years from racism because of religion, they were thrown out of their land, expelled from countries (not a single Jew from Saudi Arabia returned to Israel in 1948 because already during the flourishing of Islam many were murdered and deported and since then no religious freedom was granted to the Jews there), and they still try to lie about it. The conflict is religious. In any case, despite the different opinions, the general coexistence between people is more important.

Not in the West Bank
Actually, this is not new. Already when the first Jews came to Palestine, Palestinians worked as tenants on Arab owned manors. They had no rights, there was no Arab solidarity at all. So, when Jews started their collective farms (kibbutz) and factories but lacked enough working force among themselves, they invited Palestinians to come and work together with them for a high salary. Many Palestinians accepted this offer. But that meant that the Arab manor owners could no longer suppress them. In order to stop this escape, they paid professional trouble makers to create riots. It did not last long, so more Palestinians left from the Arab manors to Jewish enterprises, and the Arab nobility created a new riot, but still they failed. After the independence Israel gave its Palestinian citizens equal rights with Jews including voting rights, own schools and other institutions and cultural autonomy.
Palestinian leaders were never interested in creating their own state. When Yasser Arafat finally made an agreement with Israel it was rejected by Arab fanatics like Hamas and Hezbollah, and Fatah (led by Yasser Arafat) lost the elections. Every time since every proposal has been rejected, and most Palestinians now live as parasites (so-called refugees) in Europe and elsewhere. They are not interested in building up their own state. And every time that they have started a new war they have lost.
Today the situation is, that most Arab states turn their back on Palestinians and make agreements with Israel. As most Palestinians inside Israel see the advantages by living in Israel and not in Palestinian lead areas, and people from those areas, especially the West Bank, work in Israel every day, the trend is, that they will increasingly prefer to unite with Israel rather than live under an violent regime. Thus Israel will just grow until the entire West Bank is officially part of the country. Those, who hate Israel and Jews too much, will move to Gaza and live in misery and poverty for generations to come. But Palestinians will never get another chance to get "their own state". The last offer came from Donald Trump, and it was a favorable one, but that too was rejected. Now the train has finally left, and there will never come a new one.
There's no such thing as a Palestinian. Their DNA is, surprise...Arab.
The elephant in the room. Who is to blame for the conflict? The Palestinian leadership. Oh and western leftist media.
Do you have any sources for this? It sounds believable but this part of the story isn't told in school in Israel
@@donnyhand - seems like my answer was removed so a new attempt. My source is: E. Langlet: "Problemet Palestina" (Tiden, 28. yearbook (1936), pp. 408-417) (in Swedish). As proof of his claim he mentions that out of around 10.000 workers at the orange plantations near Tel Aviv and Jaffa about 7.500 were Arabs. Please note: this source is from 1936, that is when the events happened and thus not biased by later development. You may also look in Jewish American Yearbook for additional information.
This is absolute and complete nonsense. Pick up a book.
I'm a black south African who worked n stayed In Israel in Farms (Kibbutz) . I was born when Apartheid was in it's dying stages . I can tell you that calling Israel Apartheid is extreme exaggeration.
and It is disrespectful to the victims of Apartheid in South Africa.
Propaganda tends to use words such as Nazis and Apartheid to brainwash people.
Thank you for speaking the truth.
Those South African who lived though apartheid beg to differ
@@umaryusuf537lol they have personal grudge because Israel cooperated with South African Apartheid .by the way did you know not everything under South Africa Apartheid was bad . In fact there many blacks who miss admirable things from Apartheid South Africa except racial policy e.g. under Apartheid there was law n order . Criminals knew their place . Now Under Free and Democratic Blacks Leadership. According To WHO (World Health Organization) UN . South Africa is an HIV/AIDS infection capital of the world. Crime is rampant all over the country. I saw Sheiks in Muslims circle saying Palestine is Muslim issue but it must be Marketed as Ubuntu [Humanitirian] Crisis😜. South African Opposition Parties (sum who were former political prisoners with Nelson Mandela at Robben Island prison) they also went out to Israel and Palestine on fact-finding mission just as there was fact-finding mission send to South Africa on Apartheid South Africa. Also said that Israel being called Apartheid like South Africa is Exaggeration.
@@lebohangsibongilemotsumi7733 saying they have a personal grudge isn’t a argument since your assuming that without any proof. I’m looking at the evidence which shows me that Israel is a apartheid state. Look at what Miko Peled has been saying he’s a Israeli Jew who’s from a very powerful Israeli family.Your comment came out as praising apartheid South Africa I hope that’s not the case
As an Israeli and Jewish it makes me happy to see this video. I worked with Arabs, went to school with Arabs and live with Arabs, but I never asked. We are one of the happiest nations in the world. We live in a complicated country, but who isn't.
Love the transparency of this interview and showing the difference in viewpoints but within context so you can see why
Good video thanks for sharing! But please reduce the background music.
Thank you for this!
As a new repatriate in Israel with Russian origin, I don't have a holiday neither on the New Year nor on the New Year's eve. And it used to be the most celebrated secular holiday for me.
But taxes and holidays, they're for everybody in the country, same schedule, same scale. The tax scale is applied to everyone. It's not apartheid, neither does a high tax make one a second class citizen.
As an Israeli, I can confirm. Just a few weeks ago, i went to Abu Rhosh to eat in an Arab restaurant for my birthday. The servers were Arab, all was written in Hebrew, Arabic and English. 1/2 the people were Arab and 1/2 the people we're Israeli. Abu Rhosh is a great example of an Arab village in Israel where Arabs and Israelis are in peace.
I love the lady who complains about the taxes. Then about which Holidays are being celebrated. I live in NY 35 years ago. Our state universities celebrated Jewish holidays.
I had the same experience in grade school (NYC). My teachers would complain to my parents that I would become Jewish on those holidays, LOL. I was such a terrible student but my classmates and I truly were a melting pot, nobody cared about your religion, race, etc. I can't believe that the US has gone backwards.
@@Supperconductor too few problems make it harder for politicians to run on fixing problems.
I think she was complaining about Muslim holidays not being the national holidays. Also, it is quite revealing what she said afterwards.
@@hpyrkh3 Yes, she was. The majority gets the Holidays. Now, in the US, Christmas break is now the “Holiday break”.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 I went to 3 universities in the US, none of them had Jewish holidays off. I had a lot of understanding from professors when I was requesting to take time off for holidays, I would then be expected to make up for whatever I missed. No big deal. I think this woman is a spoiled brat. Israel provides her education opportunities and all she wishes for is its destruction. Btw, vast majority of Jews, who actually observe their holidays, are not in favor of imposing them onto the general population. And, it’s totally cool for the Jews to work during Christmas breaks to help out our Christian neighbors and co-workers. Oh, and most observant Jews don’t get offended when you wish them Merry Christmas. We know where we live, the USA is a Christian majority country. It’s ok to say Merry Christmas in your own country.
The lady in red studying to be a lawyer bites the hand that feeds her, she mouths the usual stuff, she seeks privileges.
סרטון נפלא!
תודה רבה לך
important video to hear straight from the people!! thank you :) deeply heart warming feeling their words!
Without experience or not even living in Israel haters say Israel is an apartheid state..what a shame!
My guess is that most Palestinians in Israel would prefer to be first-class citizens in their own country, where there own culture prevails, but have the same quality of governance and economic prosperity that they have in Israel. Unfortunately, they can't seem to have both. That is their tragedy.
And clearly they are aware of this problem. But forced to choose between a better functioning government and society or being part of the majority demographically these people prefer a better functioning government/society
Every person in the U.S. needs to see this video.
Baruch Ha shem. We ❤️ u israel!!
“The people are good, it’s just the Politicians”
As it always is and always has been…………
I stand with Israel.
Thank you, my friend.
That Arab student's crazy complaints. LOL.
When I ran a business in Australia, one of my Muslim employees complained about the unfairness of having to work on Muslim holidays, and being given Christian holidays instead.
I responded that I had no such rule, and from that day onwards he took days off for Muslim holidays and came to work on Christian holidays.
It actually worked out well for me as it turned out that customers would call on Christmas Day for assistance, and there he was ... by himself ... ready to help.
Do christains havr day off during their festive period in Arab countries? They are so entitled
what an eye opener
Relevant now more than ever
Jerusalem became the capital of Israel over 3000 years ago, that was 1600 years BEFORE the birth of Islam. Historically there has never been a state of Palestine.
I like how the student complains about israel and that it belongs to palestine, but then proceeds to say that she doesn't want to be a part of palestine.
As a Jewish girl in Israel the one who commented about the taxes . It’s true there are taxes but everyone pay them every citizen of Israel it’s not a discrimination against Arabs , if anything they pay less taxes and they don’t have to serve the army and they live here gooddd
she says she educated then she would know that everyone has to pay taxes. and for Arabs, the army is not obligatory, understandable, still she has a choice whereas Jews who defend the country she lives in don't. ALSO, How does she pay for school someone asked? I'd also like to know. She is so ungrateful idiot and lucky she lives in Israel. I would not want her around me. She really should move to an Arab country.
Ask the Arabs who say they want the land to be Palestinian if they want the Knesset, or Hamas/Hezbollah running it.
If the goverment doesn't get involved...............all over the world nearly the same, Thomas from Austria. Am Yisrael Chai
Free, Free, Israel from Hamas!!
Two thumbs way up!
The red dress woman is so angry on the state she really stretching to find something against it (like taxes - as if it's different between Jews and Arabs) but when given an chance to live under "palestine" all over sudden it's hell no.
True, but in the UK (where I live) like most European countries the holiday allocation is very generous and employers would grant religious holidays as part of the generous holiday allocation. Muslims during Ramadan have a lot of understanding given to their situation.
hypocrisy at it best
always wining and complaining about Israel but when they get the right to choose other country they always want Israel
like...
wtfff🤷♂️🤷♀️🤷♂️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️
SHARE THE TRUTH. ISRAEL IS NOT AN APARTHEID COUNTRY. THIS SHOULD GET AT LEAST A FEW BILLION VIEWS. PPL SPREAD the truth. Bless Israel
This video has to be shown all over the world - primarily in Universities
Israel and the US are blessed by God for they foundation built on him. This is the abundance of the goodness of God when you put him first!
"But those who look for problems find them."
Well said
In South Africa everyone gets Christian holidays - if you are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu. etc. you would take leave on your respective days
Some companies would have exceptions sure, but by and large that is what it is
That's not discriminatory
To be honest I'm not sure what she said was entirely true, here in Israel I know Christians and Arabs, on Christmas my Christians friends don't come to work, and no one talks about it, they can do it freely same on Arab holidays, my father owns a small business and some of his workers are Arab Israelis and they don't come to work when there's a Muslim holiday.
Wow this is heartwarming! I feel so happy for the interviewees! Means what I felt as a child travelling in Israel and as a teenager speaking to arabs, palestinians and Jews there still is lived reality. I did not imagine the good vibes and the warmth between people, the practical, pragmatic, relalistic live and let live that seemed so natural and also appreciated by people. Omg I needed this today.
I cannot believe that's the background music you chose
Freedom and democracy. Who wouldn’t want that😊
