We, the Turks, have never seen the Jews as enemies and have never exploited them. Even today, despite the widespread anti-Semitic propaganda in Turkey, there are millions of Turks who are friendly towards Israel and the Jews. (I am one of them)

We love Jews in Turkey greetings. In republic era ( 1930s ) along side Jews saved from Spanish inquisition we saved German Jews. Most of them were scientist's. Even Einstein got invitation from Atatürk. Today Turkey is medical tourism destination welcoming up to 1 million tourist's each year, thanks to those scientists. Turkey has best dentist, eye and plastic surgery technology.

Jews were saved primarily for economic reasons. And they were allowed to coexist alongside of Muslims as long as they minded their place as inferiors. Also there were times and places in certain regions of the Ottoman empire where Jews were greatly mistreated by their Muslim neighbors many of their Muslim neighbors. So there's definitely a mixed history there.
This is a half-truth. The Turkish government didn't specifically save Jews from the holocaust, they instituted a policy to give passports to German scientists who had lost their citizenship because of political persecution. This was done to profit from their academic skills, and it just happened to be that a tenth(!) of the persecuted academics happened to be Jews. In the end up to a thousand emigres got these passports. However, if there hadn't been such a high proportion of Jewish academics in Germany, hardly any Jew would have gotten these passports. It wasn't a humanitarian policy, it was mainly designed to improve the Turkish university system. At the same time, the Turkish government denaturalized up to 5000 Jewish Turks during the Holocaust and therefore signed their death warrents. Also at the same time, Turkey instituted antisemitic laws such as a heavy tax on non-Muslims in 1942 including Armenians and Jews that was basically robbing minorities of their entire property. Modern Turkish politicians whitewash their history by pointing to a few hundred academics being lured into the country to profit from their skills.

Correction: Jizya is a protection fee, Muslims pays More tax called Zakkat. Dhimma is not Umar Pact, It's set by Allah through Prophet Muhammad SAW, it also mentioned in the Quran.
Under Muslim rule, Muslims pay Zakat Tax and non-muslims pay Dhimmi/jiziya. Muslims have a duty to protect non Muslims. Non muslims are excempt from fighting wars.
The people they terrorized is Africa. They aren't Jews they stole all of it from the bantu tribe. The Turks stole the identities of all the Israelites around the world. They did unspeakable inhuman things to my ancestors the Bantu. They are the Nazis!
Turks have always accepted the Israelites as friends. (Because their respectful, honest and they are very friendly with Turkish peoples for sure) However, Israel's historical ties with the Israeli people are weakening due to operations that sometimes turn into massacres. Starting before the Second World War, the Republic of Turkey saved tens of thousands of Jews throughout the war. Turkish Embassies in Germany, France, Czechoslovakia and Greece distributed citizenship to tens of thousands of people. Those people also took refuge in Turkey safely, stating that they were Turkish citizens who wanted to return to Turkey. During the war, the Turkish state removed hundreds of people who were sent to Auschwitz and Dachou concentration camps and sent them to Turkey. Indeed, if all historical documents and archives are examined, they can see how unrealistic many of the slanders accused of the Turks are. The Turkish state can examine the Ottoman Archives and all records of the period with the states of the period such as the Russian Tsardom, France and the British Empire in Turkish, English, German, French, Russian and Spanish.

Well we moslems always loved our Jewish and Christian brothers! We had a glorious past of being extremely tolerant and loving towards people of other faiths yet but in the past 100 years we have been shown as if we hate our brethren.

Without our muslim brothers and sisters, jewish life in cities like Bagdad, Istanbul, Beirut, … would never ever flourished, because we need each other, also in spiritual ways.
That has little truth, Muslims were not very tolerant towards Non Muslims. Discrimination, to the point were it resembled the apartheid laws in the US and South Africa, was widely common. Jews and Christians had to pay an enormous amount of money called the Jizya, had to sometimes wear distinct clothing which was often black with either a David star or giant Cross and a bell around their necks, had difficulties building churches, had barely any protection from the Islamic authorities etc.
@@eho6380 idk how this is comparable to apartheid. Apartheid is based on ethnicity not religion. Jizya is also small amount and varied under different rulers. But usually less than or same as what muslims paid (zakat)
@@Aksarallah The Jizya may have varied during different caliphs but it still was a very classic tactic to misuse it to increase the budget of the Caliphate. There were reports during the Umayyad Caliphate that the Egyptian Christians had to sell Church property because of this.
Are you sure about that? In the first half of the 20th century, many Arabs were displaced as Jews bought the lands they had been working on. And as for what happened in 1947-48, it’s more complicated than you might think (as wars tend to be) ua-cam.com/video/jB6IhmHYzWs/v-deo.html
It’s hard to track exactly - estimates are that 1.5 million dunams, which was 75% of Jewish land pre-1948, was purchased from Arabs. Although estimates are that some 3,000 became landless, as much of the land was held by a few foreign owners. Many (50-100k) Arabs were also arriving from neighboring Arab countries during this time to work on Jewish lands, so it’s hard to define percentages exactly.

The Ottoman banned Jewish migration to Israel in 1891 and this began the narrative against Israel.

Khazars are defenitly Turkic Khaganate it is the continuation of Gokturk Khaganate. The Khazar khanate was established after the collapse of the Gokturk khanate. The founding dynasty of Gokturks are ashine, later period same dynasty founded the Khazar Khaganate. The Gokturk khanate was Tengrist but the Khazar khan converted to Judaism, probably for political reasons, as it war with Umayyads arabs. Since the Khazars religion Judaism even if they were Turkic, most historians think that the massive amount of Jews migrate because Umayyads opression and settled in the Khazar Khaganate living peacefully and mixed with local people.
False. The Khagnate Empire was so evil they were surrounded and dissembled by the surrounding Empires. They were forced to adopt an Abrahamic religion. They chose to Pose as Judah under the religion of Judaism. They still worshipped with the Talmud and their old traditions but kept up the fake front of seeming righteous in the public's view. They are a people without a land, so they were known to use trickery and money tricks to extract wealth from the areas they immigrated to. Which is what happened to the Ottoman Empire. They accepted them into their territory and the Khagans killed, stole, bribed their way to the top of society while impoverishing everyday Ottomans. ... sounds familiar? Should. Germany tried kicking them out and you see how they tricked everybody into thinking it was Germans who were the provocateurs. Anne Frank.. fake..Kristallnacht was the German people trying to kick out the Bankers, Pawn Brokers, and Loan sharks. They put a star on them so they could be recognized as Judaism so the German people would know not to trust them. That's why Germany's military generals were full of Khagnates scientist using soldiers like science experiments. .. FF>> that's why they are in Israel but double citizen in another country that they extract wealth from and send it back to Israel. Even though the people of Israel were sold into slavery and prophecy says they wont be in their land until The Messiah comes back. Somehow the Khagnates parlayed their fake Judaism conversion into being a part of the actual Bloodline of Judah instead of the truth that they are Khagans from another way North of Israel. Smh.
After that 1891 ban, Jews still made their way to Ottoman Palestine in non-trivial numbers (waves of pre- and post- Herzlian Zionist immigration) prior to the British victory, so I presume it wasn't energetically enforced. Maybe the Ottomans were just too busy otherwise trying to preserve the empire. Maybe the ban was declared primarily to appease certain political factions. Maybe the Ottomans received or anticipated financial benefits. I'm not so well read on this history so I'm only speculating.
They didn't take any money, but it was offered. A Jewish team, including a man who graduated from Istanbul University and was the first president of Israel, wanted an autonomous region in and around Jerusalem at that time, and in return they would pay all the debts of the Ottoman Empire. Abdulhamit refused this because they had an egalitarian approach, but then in the First World War, the Arabs betrayed the Ottoman Empire and massacred the Turks along with the British, and instead of an Ottoman autonomous jewish state, the British mandate of Palestine was established. The reason why the establishment of Israel was delayed by 50 years was probably because the Ottomans rejected the offer of autonomy in exchange for money, if they knew that the Arabs would stab the Ottomans in the back, they would probably have agreed with the Jews and expelled the betrayel Arabs from the region, and also cleared their debts.
@@cankirsehirli They spoke Ladino and Tutkish after the big wave of Spaniards, who changed the community's culture from the local Greek to more Spanish. Before that wave the Jews spoke Romaniotic - Jewish Greek, and they were called Romaniotes, not Romanian as she told.

jizya is only because muslims was already required to pay zakah. so they need to have tax from non-muslims. or they will not be taxed at all compared to muslims. theyre not 2nd class citizens.
The 1891 ban was never enforced. German and Eastern European Jews continued to settle in Palestine until and during WWI, after which the Ottaman Empire collapsed.

The Berber Muslims liberated the remnants of Israel from Visigoth rule over Spain in 711. The reconquista, inquisition and edict of expulsion of Israelites from “Spain” on the 31st of March 1492. Forced the Israelites to convert to Catholicism, and/or leave. Many could not afford passage out of Spain so they converted in fear for their lives and of their loved ones . Many who did not convert and could afford passage. Left to various parts of the known world. Specifically Africa. Then there the masses who couldn’t afford passage and did not convert to catholicism. On the very last day of the edict. It was the Ottomans who came for them. For over 900 years they lived amicably. In Spain and in the Ottoman Empire. For 900 years Muslims protected them and gave them liberty to live as they wished, to practice what they wished, to be fruitful, and to grow prosperously. It’s sad to see the relationships between the two this day and age. How can two groups of people live together prosperously and amicably for 900 years and today be at extreme odds? The answer is worth investigating.

The jizya for dhimmis by Khaliph Omar ibn Al Khattab must pay about the some amount of the zakat that must be paid by every muslim citizen in the muslim kingdom. Jizya and zakat are the form of taxes in Islamic states system. Muslim have two kind of zakat. First, zakat fithra that has to paid in the end of Ramadhan, 2.5 litre of wheat for every person, the second zakat was to be paid based on the family liquid asset, has to be paid 2.5 percent of the market value of liquid asset every year. Stricter ruled applied to the dhimmi caring weapon, but the ordinary muslim are also not allowed to carry weapon in daily basis. In return, the muslim ruler provided protection to the whole muslim and non muslim citizens of the kingdom. But it was depend on the stability of the kingdom itself. In practice, the protection from the ruler to the overall citizens can be different from one sultanate to another
Caliphate or Khaleefeh is a Farsi word " خرابها - kharabeha " which means Ruins, abandoned properties or properties of dead owners with no heir. Hashem (zionism) and Commonwealth are partnered up as the khaleefa of the world, secretly and deceptively. Caliphate organization needs to be a public, transparent and not for power or profit. Caliphate shall use the entire assets to help women, children and old people who do not have the ability or opportunity to compete for food and shelter. Iran is the only nation who has a separate charity organization to manage this assets "Bonyad Mostazafan" which is the largest charity organization in the world which has virtually eliminated income tax.
The jizya was a tax on non-Muslims collected by the State and distributed to Muslims so they had a passive income and did not need to work - or, at least, that's how it was envisioned. They did not want Jews and Christians to convert because they lost income with every convert - no more jizya coming in plus there was one more Muslim the State had to pay. That model wasn't sustainable so the converts were the first Muslims required to pay the jizya. That said, in many ways, it was a much better life than a Jew could expect in Europe but imagine what life would be like if you had to supply the income of the dominant group in your society while they didn't have to work though they did fill many government and military roles. The Jews were particularly valuable when it came to trade because they had established personal networks that stretched from Palestine to England, Morocco to Poland, and everywhere in between. They could get anything - weapons, ammunition, experts - anything at all and they filled the role of ambassadors rather effectively.
Do you think the tax collected from the jews was enough even enough to feeding a city of muslims? Pls check the income, economy and infrastructure of the empire before you speculate. You should be thankful to the ottomans that they just used their money and not their body as slaves and warriors in wars. What a terrible comment damn

We paid as much as Dhimmis did so they could avoid Army service that mandatory, 2.1% more is what we have to pay than Dhmmis. I still think if it weren’t Religions it would still be racism some what.
That tax you mentioned about was because Non-Muslims weren’t allowed to serve in the military. Muslims didn’t pay it since they had to join the military. After all, it would be awkward to make serving in military mandatory for non-Muslims in an Islamic Empire.
Correction: No dress code was forced upon the jews, the whole idea is that either muslims or non muslims should distinguish their appearance. If dhimmis refused to commit to a certain dress code, so it's up to muslims to dress differently

We love Jews in Turkey greetings. In republic era ( 1930s ) along side Jews saved from Spanish inquisition we saved German Jews. Most of them were scientist's. Even Einstein got invitation from Atatürk. Today Turkey is medical tourism destination welcoming up to 1 million tourist's each year, thanks to those scientists. Turkey has best dentist, eye and plastic surgery technology.

Jews were saved primarily for economic reasons. And they were allowed to coexist alongside of Muslims as long as they minded their place as inferiors. Also there were times and places in certain regions of the Ottoman empire where Jews were greatly mistreated by their Muslim neighbors many of their Muslim neighbors. So there's definitely a mixed history there.
As long as they’re not Armenian right 😉
This is a half-truth. The Turkish government didn't specifically save Jews from the holocaust, they instituted a policy to give passports to German scientists who had lost their citizenship because of political persecution. This was done to profit from their academic skills, and it just happened to be that a tenth(!) of the persecuted academics happened to be Jews. In the end up to a thousand emigres got these passports. However, if there hadn't been such a high proportion of Jewish academics in Germany, hardly any Jew would have gotten these passports. It wasn't a humanitarian policy, it was mainly designed to improve the Turkish university system.
At the same time, the Turkish government denaturalized up to 5000 Jewish Turks during the Holocaust and therefore signed their death warrents. Also at the same time, Turkey instituted antisemitic laws such as a heavy tax on non-Muslims in 1942 including Armenians and Jews that was basically robbing minorities of their entire property.
Modern Turkish politicians whitewash their history by pointing to a few hundred academics being lured into the country to profit from their skills.

Turks have always accepted the Israelites as friends.
(Because their respectful, honest and they are very friendly with Turkish peoples for sure)
However, Israel's historical ties with the Israeli people are weakening due to operations that sometimes turn into massacres.
Starting before the Second World War, the Republic of Turkey saved tens of thousands of Jews throughout the war.
Turkish Embassies in Germany, France, Czechoslovakia and Greece distributed citizenship to tens of thousands of people. Those people also took refuge in Turkey safely, stating that they were Turkish citizens who wanted to return to Turkey.
During the war, the Turkish state removed hundreds of people who were sent to Auschwitz and Dachou concentration camps and sent them to Turkey.
Indeed, if all historical documents and archives are examined, they can see how unrealistic many of the slanders accused of the Turks are.
The Turkish state can examine the Ottoman Archives and all records of the period with the states of the period such as the Russian Tsardom, France and the British Empire in Turkish, English, German, French, Russian and Spanish.

That has little truth, Muslims were not very tolerant towards Non Muslims. Discrimination, to the point were it resembled the apartheid laws in the US and South Africa, was widely common.

Are Ashkenazi jews from khasar empire, and they have turkic origin?
Khazars are defenitly Turkic Khaganate it is the continuation of Gokturk Khaganate. The Khazar khanate was established after the collapse of the Gokturk khanate. The founding dynasty of Gokturks are ashine, later period same dynasty founded the Khazar Khaganate. The Gokturk khanate was Tengrist but the Khazar khan converted to Judaism, probably for political reasons, as it war with Umayyads arabs. Since the Khazars religion Judaism even if they were Turkic, most historians think that the massive amount of Jews migrate because Umayyads opression and settled in the Khazar Khaganate living peacefully and mixed with local people.
False. The Khagnate Empire was so evil they were surrounded and dissembled by the surrounding Empires. They were forced to adopt an Abrahamic religion. They chose to Pose as Judah under the religion of Judaism. They still worshipped with the Talmud and their old traditions but kept up the fake front of seeming righteous in the public's view. They are a people without a land, so they were known to use trickery and money tricks to extract wealth from the areas they immigrated to. Which is what happened to the Ottoman Empire. They accepted them into their territory and the Khagans killed, stole, bribed their way to the top of society while impoverishing everyday Ottomans. ... sounds familiar? Should. Germany tried kicking them out and you see how they tricked everybody into thinking it was Germans who were the provocateurs. Anne Frank.. fake..Kristallnacht was the German people trying to kick out the Bankers, Pawn Brokers, and Loan sharks. They put a star on them so they could be recognized as Judaism so the German people would know not to trust them. That's why Germany's military generals were full of Khagnates scientist using soldiers like science experiments. .. FF>> that's why they are in Israel but double citizen in another country that they extract wealth from and send it back to Israel. Even though the people of Israel were sold into slavery and prophecy says they wont be in their land until The Messiah comes back. Somehow the Khagnates parlayed their fake Judaism conversion into being a part of the actual Bloodline of Judah instead of the truth that they are Khagans from another way North of Israel. Smh.
No, but antisemites love that theory
After that 1891 ban, Jews still made their way to Ottoman Palestine in non-trivial numbers (waves of pre- and post- Herzlian Zionist immigration) prior to the British victory, so I presume it wasn't energetically enforced. Maybe the Ottomans were just too busy otherwise trying to preserve the empire. Maybe the ban was declared primarily to appease certain political factions. Maybe the Ottomans received or anticipated financial benefits. I'm not so well read on this history so I'm only speculating.
They didn't take any money, but it was offered. A Jewish team, including a man who graduated from Istanbul University and was the first president of Israel, wanted an autonomous region in and around Jerusalem at that time, and in return they would pay all the debts of the Ottoman Empire. Abdulhamit refused this because they had an egalitarian approach, but then in the First World War, the Arabs betrayed the Ottoman Empire and massacred the Turks along with the British, and instead of an Ottoman autonomous jewish state, the British mandate of Palestine was established. The reason why the establishment of Israel was delayed by 50 years was probably because the Ottomans rejected the offer of autonomy in exchange for money, if they knew that the Arabs would stab the Ottomans in the back, they would probably have agreed with the Jews and expelled the betrayel Arabs from the region, and also cleared their debts.

Forced the Israelites to convert to Catholicism, and/or leave. Many could not afford passage out of Spain so they converted in fear for their lives and of their loved ones . Many who did not convert and could afford passage. Left to various parts of the known world. Specifically Africa. Then there the masses who couldn’t afford passage and did not convert to catholicism.

lmao no
forte prep is amazing
Always develop skills to carry with you. Be mobile in all your affairs.
That's how merchant Jews survived.
The jizya was a tax on non-Muslims collected by the State and distributed to Muslims so they had a passive income and did not need to work - or, at least, that's how it was envisioned. They did not want Jews and Christians to convert because they lost income with every convert - no more jizya coming in plus there was one more Muslim the State had to pay. That model wasn't sustainable so the converts were the first Muslims required to pay the jizya. That said, in many ways, it was a much better life than a Jew could expect in Europe but imagine what life would be like if you had to supply the income of the dominant group in your society while they didn't have to work though they did fill many government and military roles. The Jews were particularly valuable when it came to trade because they had established personal networks that stretched from Palestine to England, Morocco to Poland, and everywhere in between. They could get anything - weapons, ammunition, experts - anything at all and they filled the role of ambassadors rather effectively.
You kidding right ? Jizya is was used for infrastructure & defence etc almost same as today’s tax. As muslims are paying zakat for almost the thing
Who Told You That Brother?
Do you think the tax collected from the jews was enough even enough to feeding a city of muslims? Pls check the income, economy and infrastructure of the empire before you speculate. You should be thankful to the ottomans that they just used their money and not their body as slaves and warriors in wars. What a terrible comment damn
Your way understanding the history and interpreting on it is shameful. I see a comment of a 10 year old child learning history from the movie Dracula lol
This video distorts the facts that Jews found safety and protection in the arms of Muslims in North Africa and the Ottoman State and lived their best times among Muslims. THey were not discreminated against and were treated by the Justice provided in Islam for non-Muslims especially Jews and CHristians.
Would like to see the channel touch upon how General Erich von Falkenhayn (despite having a low opinion of Jewish people) and other German officers were said to have thwarted a plan by Djemal Pasha during WW1 to do to the Jewish community within the land of Israel what was done to the Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks within the Ottoman Empire during that period prior to the arrival of the British.
Well, everything was better for everyone.
400 years of relative prosperity in the Middle East and it all ended when the Turkish state lost its Arab possessions.
Turkey should get its lands back and we would have freedom again.
No terror no quarrel.
There's lots of interesting information, and good research that went into this video.
Jiziah was a tax for both Jews and Christians. Sometimes even the Zoroastarians (but usually not). So, this wasn't too unique.
Jews were not second class citizens in the ottomans these were highly skilled people
This video has missinformation Muslim nerver treat non Muslim 2nd class citizen.
Under ISLAMIC law Muslim has many social service & responsibility what nonmuslim dosent has.If non Muslim has zizya Muslim has jakha,fitra & other social serrvice.also Muslim can't trede in relagious fair what is big business back than
🕉. When Jews had been kicked out of Ottoman Empire, they could not get good treatment anywhere. Only in India 🇮🇳 they got love and dignity. The Mumbai Jews (Bombay, India) narrate it with great pride. Why don't you mention it in the Description. Publicize the Jews's love towards India. 🇮🇳.
Was India under the Ottoman empire at this same period?
@@pardes7342 India was never under Ottoman Empire.
It waw turks of central Asia who invaded India,but they never able to penetrate deep in South-India and Jews only live in Hindu Kingdom so they were treated with humanity.
@@saffronsword9026 [Why don't you mention it in the Description]= that is why your narrative was not included. It was clear to me.
Ottomans never kicked out Jews. To get sympathy from Jew's don't fill empty lie's
Ottomans never kicked out jews from their empire lol
👌👍🏿Good work. Thanks for sharing!!!
05:00 that's khedive Egypt nothing to do with Ottomans
@Alan Hughes time to learn history
@Alan Hughes the memluk empire ruled Egypt then selcuk empire and ottoman empire all turkic people's please read history thank you
And no it wasn't ended after Othman Collapse before what so called Israel many Jewish families were among the richest Egyptian families
Oh, this is channel is all hasbara nonsense.
Second class in the context of the ottomans means that a none Muslim can’t be Khalif. That’s it.
Jizya and zakat just tax nomenclature, similar thing, and actually jizya quite easy as it fixed number in few classes...zakat can be so much much higher as it not fixed pay
Why would they travel to France of all places?
@@machoke666 Does it have anything to do with the rise of Zemmour in the French Far right?
@@Vm-vr7om Nah, it's got everything to do with the Islamization of France.
france wasnt an islamic majority nation then like it is now.
@@machoke666
France in the 20th century - Battered by the Germans.
France in the 21st century - Colonized by the Arabs.
@@machoke666 Anti semitism is the word that discribes hate against Jews
The Turks are awesome
I wish religion or ideologies never played a part in this if only all cultures would have lived in peace with each other instead of forcing an so-called non-Muslim tax on jews christians and zoroastrians at the time and the ottoman empire would have been a much better and greater country instead of benefiting on slavery and conquests
We paid as much as Dhimmis did so they could avoid Army service that mandatory, 2.1% more is what we have to pay than Dhmmis. I still think if it weren’t Religions it would still be racism some what.
That tax you mentioned about was because Non-Muslims weren’t allowed to serve in the military. Muslims didn’t pay it since they had to join the military.
After all, it would be awkward to make serving in military mandatory for non-Muslims in an Islamic Empire.
Correction: No dress code was forced upon the jews, the whole idea is that either muslims or non muslims should distinguish their appearance.
If dhimmis refused to commit to a certain dress code, so it's up to muslims to dress differently
Very interesting video. Is this historically correct? Where can I find more evidence? Do you have a book to refer to?

the book the entire video is based on. 0:36
Jews of islam by Bernard Lewis
Yes true still many jewish people living in istanbul.
After colapse of Khazar Khagnate lot of Turks converted judaism. I hope Palastine and Israel makes peace soon
Yes some European jews look like Turkic
Interesting video. Hopefully we Turks and Jews can have good relations from now on🇹🇷❤🇮🇱.
Unfortunately Current events have shown that Muslims aren’t as tolerant of non-Muslims (especially Israeli Jews)
Free Palestine
Is it known roughly what proportion of expelled Sephardic Jews made their way to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Eastern Europe in general rather than the Ottoman Empire/MENA and Americas/etc?
I’m not sure if the exact numbers, but Only a small amount when to Poland-Lithuania
Most of the Sephardic and Portages Jews went to Holland. Others to Brazil and many to the Ottoman Empire.
@@simko8665 wrong most went to the ottoman empire and north africa a minority went to holland and the new world
@@mizrahiwithattitude2733 You are probably right. The Ottomans knew the Economic value of the Spanish Jews and they were mostly welcomed.
@@simko8665 yeah i know my own history half of my family were spanish speaking jews from turkey
Thanks for showing the truth!!
There you help them and give them shelter for many hundres years, and see what they do to the muslims nowadays....
"new home" ? You know who was there before ottomon empire ?
I think some of my Jewish ancestors lived in ottoman empire I could totally see my old man wearing a fez
I'm sick of people claiming everything as a conspiracy theory. Face the facts that some of your people have done wrong instead of denying and defending their wrong doing.
And what proof do you have?🤔🤔🤔
For two thousand years we were a powerless people. Do not forget that.
People chose to slander us for no reason.
Jews' economic success is the reason. They are smart, hard-working, shrewd businesspeople who take care of their own. Love them or hate them, there's no denying that. Don't get me wrong, I have great friends from both Jewish and Arabic descent.
🐄 is back.
@@levand3673 ''powerless people, don't you forgot that''? This is exactly the kind of thing I'm referring too. Pretending that jews were never in position of power/influence and then creating a stigma that you ''must not forget that''. It's the ultimate victimhood and then have the audacity to claim success. It's disingenuous and embarrassing.
@@sergiosaunier you'll always hear of the ''success'' but never the failures. Taking responsibility seem very difficult for some to do. Other groups have no problem in calling some of their own if they find them to be immoral. They literally have organisations and espionage preventing them from criticism and facing responsibility. When you highlight these simple facts, you're called a conspiracy theorist..
pact japanese is part pact republican pact
Very interesting
There is little or no difference between Ashenkazi Jews and Turkic people
Half Turkic
Damn Otto started messing with the j man and everything fell apart 😂
The balfour declaration 💀
@@Ezio-Auditore-da-Firenze crazy right
This is largely BS. Under the Ottomans Jewish populations where wiped out in waves for centuries. In Tzfat alone they suffered from 4 mass murders when Jews rebounded repeated because of there love is Tzfat and all of Israel.
A video on the jews of India plz
They did this to everyone.
Jews already lived in ottoman since 1326
Good stuff!
