The fact that the 2 old guys were calling eachother Heretics and Nonbelievers so much that the Taliban kicked them out of jail is hilarious.
exactly as the saying goes: "ask two Jews, you'll get three opinions"
they were too religiously extremist for taliban jail lmao
@@env0x 😂
I have depression this whole story lighted me up.
this is something out of curb your enthusiasm.
Simentov legit would rather live under Taliban rule than let his wife divorce him!!! Now thats real matrimonial animosity.
@grapesurgeon he is pretty crazy or full of character depending on how you see it 😂
I guess we know who orders all the false flag operations in Afghanistan. @@grapesurgeon
that's because you dont know his wife.
Afghanistan was s Buddhist ☸ country. Sinners converted to ....🤑🤮🤢🥳🥸😎👿🤬😱🤡💩
Respect if that's his motivation for escaping from Holyland! marriage is attritional warfare for the steadfast...every 'till death parted them' marriage is based on it 🤣
A lot of buddhists once lived there as well. I mean Afghanistan once was a very safe tourist destination back in the 60s or so.
and sikhs
Lots of Australians used to do the overland route to Europe through Afghanistan. Not anymore. Sad.
Before political islamonazis
@@aqfj5zythe only one crying right now are your own people
@@arimoff but aren’t you guys the modern day Nazis? Does Islam think they are being exterminated yet still grow ten fold every generation?
As a Bukharian Jew, I understand the dialect of Farsi that was used in the argument between Simentov and the Rabbi, so I know the translation did not fully capture everything they said to each other…in the original language it’s even more hilarious!
Wow, so cool. Didn't know the existence of Bukharian Jews. I just googled your community out. Beautiful vivid pics of your community. The ethnic costumes look so beautiful and colourful. I will find out more about Bukharian Jews from now on.
@@esther_18 Bukharian Jews were early 19th century participants in settling the Land of Israel, first as traditional Jews in Yerushalayim and eventually as participants in all aspects of Zionist activity.
Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
Wow that's cool as a Muslim from Afghanistan ❤ I'm born in Bukhara btw
Very true!
Oh so this is the face of Zabulon. I will miss his fight with Isaac.
lmfao
I was wondering the same thing after watching a 2 and a half long old video of them both arguing over nothing lol
This could happen to anyone without internet 😅
Don't talk against Zebulon behind his back. He will hear you from miles away and shout at you, "Old pimp. Rascal". Actually, even if you don't do that, he would still shout that to you.
as an Afghan that old jews woman made me sad, I hope one day all our Afghan jews comes back to Afghanistan to live in their land in peace along their muslims and sikhs brothers.
Not only Afghanistan, but also Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Egypt or Morocco
Sikhs how many Sikhs left in Afghanistan
Don't forget you're Muslim's the killer of non Muslim
4 04 they come here and they will take Afghanistan. We are no braver than Palestinians. Look what happened there
I get what you mean but believe me the most of the Jews people are peaceful people like most of humans in earth who just want a normal like other humans. You should not mix devil humans with ordinary Jews folk.
Fool. Be careful what you ask for
Jews didn't escape Afghanistan because of the Talibans like people think, they just couldn't stand Zebulon.
😂😂
😂😂😂
I bet people say this about him who knew him. What a character!
3:03 - he mention they fled to israel because of the actions of amir abdul rahman khan. but abdul rahman khan died in 1901. israel as a country did not exist yet.
He said the land of Israel
Israel is more than 3,000 years old. Israel and Hebrew are millennia older than Islam or Arabic, which is why Islam is based on Jewish stories and mentions Israel and the Children of Israel and our prophets (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses) in the Quran. The Mesha Stele is from 840B.C. and mentions Israel, the indigenous people (the Jews), thr Jews’ king (King Omri), and the Jews’ G-d (Y-VH). The Arab (and, after, Ottoman) colonization of the Levant didn’t start until almost 2,000yrs. later. Will you let me know what the Ancient Palestinians called it? Well, the Ancient Philistines (who lived in just Philistia, and never ruled all of Israel) were Greek. India wasn’t made a country until 1947. Do you think that India started in 1947? Really? Egypt in 1922. Syria in 1946. Lebanon in 1949. Are you confused about it? Why do you think that there are so many Ancient structures from the Jews (and the Jews only), the indigenous ppl, on that land? Where are others’ ancient structures on that land? Where are others’ ancient stories on that land? Our Tanakh is 2,500yrs. old, the Torah much older. The Tanakh mentions Israel more than 2,000 times. Can you point me to evidence of any other people living there in ancient times, or explain why the Ancient Philistines were Greek but the Palestinians are not? Can you let me know all of those ancient stories or about all of those pieces of archeological evidence? Thanks!!!!
Thank you for covering this from all angles, properly. Almost everyone else who tells this story leaves out the get recusal part.
Just want to say pashtuns aren't descendants of jews, they adopted islam and choose some customs more closely relating to jews in Afghanistan. But respect to all jews 🇮🇷🇦🇫🇮🇳❤️🇮🇱
I mean some might have converted. Many christians are also descendants of jews. There is no shame in being a descendant of a jew
Some of the pashtuns are jews who's ancestors were converted to islam by force. Many arabs in the middle east had jewish ancestors who were converted to islam at the pain of death. As much as arabs want to bravado how great of a nation they are and claim islam is peace, in reality, half of arabs in the middle east have jewish dna
@@sushipizza4439 the thing is Pashtuns are descendants of Buddhists and Zoroastrians as per historical evidence.
@@sushipizza4439 Lots of people --- Filipinos, Africans, Thais, non-Jewish Russians, Romanians, even some Westerners want to be Israelis. In fact, many successful or famous women --- Chelsea Clinton, Kamala Harris, Ivanka Trump --- love Jewish men.
I am from Mexico, from the city of Puebla, My city was founded by a Jewish woman
Mirian Pérez or María de Estrada, Some historians say she was a Spanish Jewish woman
Please can you talk about the Jewish community in Mexico, its history dates back to the time of the viceroyalty of Nueva España when several Sephardic Jews arrived as crypto-Jews.
I would be interested in the history of Puebla as well.
Wow, so cool. I would like to know as well.
Mexico is native american land. colonisers didnt found anything except steal the land
Christopher Columbus was also a crypto
After the Expulsion by Isabella and Ferdinand the Sephardic (Spanish) Jews did come and lived in safer conditions in southern America
Such an interesting history! Who knew? Thanks for creating it!
... I remember watching this in 2014, finding it on DVD at a local library...
I thought there were 2 last Jews and during the recording of the documentary one died?
I enjoyed the documentary and you guys adding to the story... Thanks!
During these times the world needs to be educated more than ever!
I think the other one moved to Israel not died
But probably dead now because it was 15 years ago i read about him 🤣
New subscriber here! Thank you very much for sharing many interesting videos about diverse topics related to the rich history of the Jewish people. Especially with videos of long lost, undocumented and forgotten history that do tell us a lot about where people come from. 🙏
Excellent video! As a Jewish Afghan/mashadi you nailed this one.. it's a shame that a 2,500 year lineage in Afghanistan ended. Am Yisrael Chai.
Your are always welcome to Afghanistan even IT isjust for a Trip 😊
You are a jeu. Wtf. How can you be an afghan then. What has kept you from embracing the religion of truth.
Taliban militants are Jews and Jews are pashtoons and Pashtoons are Jews So this guys not the last one he’s one in millions of pashtoon Jews the lost tribe living in Afghanistan created havoc since the CIA and the creation of mujahideen and moussed
@@user-yd1pb2uo7w did you mean masoud
@@user-yd1pb2uo7wYou have no clue what you’re talking about. First question you should ask is what is USA doing thousands of miles away while Taliban just want to rule Afghanistan
Great video! You make really great content!
Great video the last 3 you guys have put out have been VERY interesting keep up the good work👍👍
Thanks 👍
@@UNPACKED do you guys have a video about mossad or shin bet?
@ryanmoore2447 We do! Here's our most popular one: ua-cam.com/video/YZ0wT3h3m3E/v-deo.htmlsi=LS16qP83xnPrmwts
And here are some others: www.youtube.com/@UNPACKED/search?query=mossad
@@UNPACKED thank you
Zabulon missed the old quarrel with his brother Isaac
Really interesting to see this covered. I always thought there were some interesting similarities between Pushtu and Hebrew, especially in the throat sounds. Again, it all goes back to the promise, "as many as the stars in the heavens"! We are everywhere, Abraham's seed.
Leave Afghanistan to Afghani. you bombed this country for years. leave this country alone. the last jew in Afganistan made his choice on his own free will. don't twist anything.
Not all unpacked presentations are worthwhile. This one is. Ty!
3:03 my guy restricted air travel back in 1880, he was truly ahead of his time
I wish that one day comes when we all respect each others beliefs
Until Islam will be there then nothing will happen .
@@ayushmankar4100 Of course, someone named Ayush from India is saying that. How am I not surprised?
I don't necessarily agree with your comment because tolerating 'everything' destroys the possibility of truth and normativity, which further undermines the relevance of justice and objective morality. However, everyone should, of course, be allowed to practice their religion lest they transgress.
@@Data-xh9wh Lol ! Indians (especially Hindus , Sikhs , Jains , Buddhists, Parsis & Christians) know the reality of Muslims better than the west .
@@Data-xh9wh But Muslims forces their religion on others and try to convert others wherever they go . That's the freedom of practice of religion .
Thank you . I learn so much from you. Your knowledge of every aspect of history and the Jewish people. Todah Raba.
Am Yisroel Chai
Happy New Year
There is no anti-Semitism in Afghanistan or at least I have not seen it among Afghans, life was difficult for everyone, a bad economy, poor education and wars affected everyone. I hope one day the Afghan Jews will want to return to their homeland and live in peace.
Cool. UA-cam suggested your channel. Very interesting history. I've just subscribed. I like the idea of no divorce but keep a marriage intact as much as possible. But, Zablon really takes this to another level. Have you covered about the last Jew in Penang, Malaysia since 2011? Will be on a lookout for it.
Jews lived in Algeria for thousands of years and they had to leave in the 60s.
They didn't have to leave, they left after the creation of Israel
Thank you for giving me hope in these troubled times.
The infamous Zabulon
Irreligious, but proud to be the grandchild of the most prestigious rabbi of Afghanistan back in the day as he told me
Was he the only Rabbi in Afghanistan?! 😅
Who was he ?
@@Zetoreh i won't say his name but he used to brag about that to me, he is no longer with us but his sister still is, and she was interviewed on the news not to long ago in israel
okay just asking because my grandmother was living next do a jewish community and my mum told me that she was suprised by seeing someone with curly hair next to the ears. they lived in a very poor are called turkmenabad in nothern afghanistan . maybe it helps to know somewhat of the grandparents roots@@omerlan100
If their lives were truly in danger, the talaban would have killed them along time ago. Classic Popaganda.
Taliban were not in power till 3 years ago, and if they all fled their must be a reason don’t you think ?
According to you ! Mr history !
Pashtuns are a Iranic ethnicity, and so are many other ethnicities in afghanistan, and they all speak the original Persian language "Dari"
They speak pashto
I’m bukharian and I understand really well. My grandfather was a Jew from Herat
Amazing story! 😶 Thanks for sharing.
It is nice to see the traditions carrying on. I love irascible people, but only at a distant. i would not have found living with this gentleman a peaceful or enjoyable experience! Thank you for the video!
What a coincidence. I read the wikipedia article about this guy the day before yesterday.
it's not a coincidence. google knew you read that article and fed you with the same content to keep you in their platform.
Love this channel! Colhakavod
FYI... A Jewish divorce requires both the agreement of the husband and the wife. There are also men who are stuck because their wives refuse to accept the get. The get is just a physical demonstration of willingness of both the husband and the wife to agree to the divorce. A man might make a get and try to give it to his wife and she can refuse and he is stuck married to her.
But if he has a child with another woman, that child is not a mamzer. And some authorities will even allow him to remarry (take a second wife technically). So it’s more of an issue for the woman.
In theory, yes, but the woman doesn’t have the equivalent of heter meah rabbanim at her disposal. Because polygamy is biblically allowed but polyandry is not.
@@arimermelstein9167For sure, the resulting situation where one spouse denies approval to divorce results in a different situation for men versus women, but the situation is horrible for the victim whether you are a woman or a man. But the reality is that most people, even most Orthodox Jews, do not realize that this situation happens to both men and women, not just to women. I have only heard of one heter meah in my life and it was given to a man whose wife was in a coma for over two decades without any hope of waking up. Even in cases where a wife refuses to accept the divorce for no good reason, I have not heard of a heter being granted (but that does not mean it did not happen, I just never heard of it). As you can imagine, it is next to impossible to get a heter meah.
@@MehWhatever99As you described, the situation is different for male versus female victims but both their situations are horrible. What bothers me is that people only seem to care about the female victims and could not care less about the male victims. We should care about all the victims and we should acknowledge that it happens to men just as often as it happens to women.
In Islam, man can say divorce 3x thats enough for a divorce (but its better only to say 2x as the saying it 3x is considered bad and sinning because it has legal complications as well like if they makeup up later in the future they cannot marry again. If only 2x times then can remarry again) and the women can get a khula which usually take 1 month or 2 months even if husband refuses and runs off....divorced is one thing Allah swt allowed it as some cases it can cause harm like husband alcoholic, domestic violence, druggy, gambler and does not provide for wife etc similar case for men
My grandpa's 2nd cousin!
It's a shame we wernt welcomed in Afghanistan and these same people say we aren't welcomed in Israel
Most of israels population are Sephardic jews not European! Kicked out or Muslim countries and found home in israel where our ancestors were from and our holy sites are.
The world can either accept peace or attack us, but unlike before we can defend ourselves now and take our security very seriously
That's bull crap ! All of a sudden at the time of creation of Israel jews started having problem in Arab after these many years ? Europeans didn't want jews near them, otherwise they would have created Israel somewhere in Europe!
You were welcomed there for the thousand years b4 western intervention. Stop trying to make yourself out to be some sole victim.
Even excluding former USSR, Israeli population is more than a third Ashkenazim. You weren't formally "kicked out" of *any* Muslim countries, to my knowledge- if anything, they tried to bar any migration, for obvious reasons.
Everyone has ancestors from everywhere, doesn't give me the right to lay claim on any portion of land for myself. Never before, and not even now, were Muslims against the idea of Jews living in the holy land. We all have holy sites there, hence its very name. We're the ones that reestablished your presence after the Romans expelled you. It's a shame you can't even recognize that, how ungrateful.
Lastly, someone in an offensive posture, who seized land from native inhabitants, can never be described as "peaceful". This tribalism of us vs them, and the relentless fearmongering, is what perpetuates this very tired "conflict".
@@vibz8346youre right, they werent kicked out of muslim countries.. they were literally purged out of there.!
Cry about it@@benjichaser72
@@benjichaser72 The meaningful difference being? Using synonyms isn't an argument.
I had a Jewish Afghan classmate and friend of mine until the 3rd grade but they left Kabul…. In think 86 or 87?
"Bani Israel" is just the Arabic (and as a loan word, Persian and Pashto) term for the Israelite.
You mean Bene-Israel ?
😂😂😂 It is Hebrew, buddy!
@@Adam-wg2rf That is probably the Hebrew pronunciation, what I wrote is from the video itself.
@@dmitryb9309Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages. It's natural that some of their words sound alike.
@@samirpsalim I saw a program about Pashtun, they have ancient graves with Hebrew writing on them.
You know what's even more heart wrenching is that there are basically no hindus,Buddhists or sikhs left in Afghanistan it was once our homeland completely in sync with the rest of the indian civilization then islam came and everything that we built over thousands of years was erased in a few decades and now all we have are the ruins of our temples,statutes and once thriving civilization.
Hindus homeland?
hindu came from the western hemisphere through afghanistan@@dunia566
You offer them nothing when the Soviet and later the west invade them.
You have that in Linduland, you destroyed it yourself
😁 😁 😁 Like Israel you want to claim everything.
being so annoying you are sent to & kicked out of prison, it's cosmic humor

@@GigaGoose123 so since 1952 there has been no form of persecution of Jews at all.... But since 1918 Israelis Zionists HAVE been violating the Geneva convention in their efforts to have all of Palestine, now Israel, a Jewish only state. Well, not really just Arab Muslims, but also Arab Christians... AND Arab Jews. So it's not really so much about religion, as it is about race.
At the end of the day it is colonisation, and removing the native populace. Come on man... That stuff hasn't happened since the 20th century at most, except in Israel. How backwards do people have to be to think that's okay?
October 7th didn't happen in a vacuum. Hamas may have shot up the Gaza division of IDF, and a few others, but they were after hostages so they could trade them for their own people held without trial. That happened regularly enough for even me to know about it. Are u aware most of the people killed that day were so by the IDF? Hannibal doctrine extended to include civilians.
Just finally, I'm loving all these Jewish folk, rabbi's and doctors included, showing so much support for Gaza, and calling for an end to the war. Just because someone is anti-apartheid, anti-genocide, anti-violence, does not mean they are anti-semitic...

What is the culture of the Igbo Jewish community in Nigeria?

What movie is that black and white scene of Cyrus?
What about Zabulon?
Loved this! The Jewish Diaspora is worldwide!
I am from Mexico, from the city of Puebla, My city was founded by a Jewish woman
Mirian Pérez or María de Estrada, Some historians say she was a Spanish Jewish woman
this things wasnt come on to my home page ive search it and it came out ı wasnt ready for a youtube video
He was “married” to my cousin, he’s a con man. Did everything for money. Never cared about his wife or kids.
Thanks for exposing him
I keep watching this video. Seriously l love it. 😂😂😂😂😂, especially the characters in the story.
Would be cool if you could cover the ancient Jewish kingdom of Yemen.
We have a segment about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/-Ge0Y6YlU1Q/v-deo.html And we made some tiktoks about it here: www.tiktok.com/@jewishunpacked/video/7270629350419057925 and here: www.tiktok.com/@jewishunpacked/video/7199749500758461702
The only country that Jewish were safe happily living along side of Muslims it was afghanistan, they had good businesses even they used appear on TV singing and dancing their traditional and culture they left afghanistan by their own decision for better life especially when Israel established they were motivated politically and religiously to go Israel and protect the land because they were( afghan jew) they got the afghani attitude and zeal...
I smell a great Daniel Day Lewis script.
What does the Christian New Testament have to do with Jews from Afghanistan?
None. God has been keeping track of who belongs to what tribe.
Thank you
9:35 Is she saying Afghanistan is a homogenous society? And she's supposed to be a journalist?
How how long did Jews live in Afghanistan which has been Muslim majority for 1000+ years?
Do they speak Farsi in Afghanistan? I’m very confused
They speak Dari, which is a dialect of Farsi. My Iranian friends can easily understand Dari-speakers, the only confusion being the accent.
@@smcintyre915 the words are almost the exact same. Thanks for the clarity here!
@@smcintyre915they also speak Pashto
At the Abdul rahaman time there wasn't Israel in the world
The Quran and Hadith do not specifically mandate distinct clothing for non-Muslims living in Islamic societies. Instead, the practice of requiring non-Muslims to dress differently was often based on interpretations of Islamic law and historical customs rather than direct textual guidance.
The jizya tax itself is mentioned in the Quran (9:29), but the specifics of how non-Muslims should dress are not outlined in the Quran. Similarly, while there may be historical examples or interpretations from Hadith that touch on the treatment of non-Muslims in society, they do not provide any instructions regarding their clothing.
The practice of requiring non-Muslims to dress differently likely evolved as a social and administrative measure rather than being directly derived from religious texts. It's important to remember that interpretations of Islamic law and practices have varied over time and across different regions, leading to a range of customs and practices regarding the treatment of non-Muslims in Islamic societies.
So this is a legendary (and angry) Zabulon
The truth of the matter is that he never converted this old man stayed to his ancient religion, but most of the tribes the 10 tribes of 10 lost tribes there weren’t lost but converted to Islam
and they are still living in Afghanistan and Pakistan Pashtuns especially..
The Jew has the Balls to stay
Cheers to him 😂😂😂
Just imagine how strong he was
awesome
The same people talking about ethnic cleansing cleansing the Jewish ethnicity from Afghanistan (& many other countries)
Yup
How are they cleansing them? They literally lived there
As an Afghan, i assure you everything said in this video is absolute B.S. and inaccurate
Can you name one thing that is inaccurate?
@UNPACKED
One!!?
Everything was inaccurate, and as a Pashtun from Afghanistan, I only address a few of them;
1. There is no custom of lighting candles on Fridays in Afghanistan.
2. There is no marriage under chuppah in Afghanistan.
3. Afghans or Pashtuns have no relationship with Bani Israel and its 10 lost tribes... Pashtuns were a Vedic Indo-Aryan tribe that have lived in the valleys of Hindu Kush for millennia
4. There are so many etymological discussions about the meaning of Kabul, and the prominent idea is that it's derived from Avesta (sacred book of Zoroastrianism), which means ("High Place. I did not hear in any academic or even legendary discussion that there is a link b/w Kabul and Kain and Abel. It's absurd.
5. Yes, Jews came to Afghanistan mostly from Iraq and Iran, who felt it safer for themselves in Afghanistan. But many of them came to Afghanistan for business as Afghanistan was the main gateway to the silk road. From the very beginning until now, Jews did not face any discrimination or prosecution in Afghanistan because Muslims treat followers of the heavenly books with absolute justice, and this has been proved in the course of history. If Muslim had any problems with Jews, the jews would not make these nations their homelands. The thing you said about Jews paying tax along with other minorities in the contemporary history of Afghanistan is absolute nonsense. During the war, you should either go to the military service when you're at a certain age, or you should pay the specific amount of money so that the government can pay another volunteer instead of you. This was the common rule for all, and jews were no exception. This is like the government in a country oppressing all the population, and you pick up a certain group and claim that this group is oppressed. This is very hypocritical.
6. You said about the Jews pograms in 1934... This is absolute nonsense. At that time, a secular king was ruling Afghanistan with friendly ties with the USA. In reality, if we have seen an influx in migration of Jews from the Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries to Israel in the period you mentioned. it's because at the time we already had the Balfour Declaration and and many jews wanted to go to palestine themselves( of course with a lot of pull factor from Jews in palestine) during the 5th Aliyah.
6. Yes, the Afghan government tries to preserve the historical heritage of Afghanistan. There were some historical scrolls that belonged to all Afghans, and the government could not trust an old lunatic man with this historic scroll. Zabalon receives tens of thousands of dollars from Jewish organizations for his so-called custodianship of the synagogues, and he could take these historic scrolls with himself to Israel one day. So that's why our government confiscated them.
7. In the end, you portrayed this as the annihilation of jews in Afghanistan, without any proof and evidence. During the course of the contemporary history of Afghanistan, more than 10 million Afghans left the country, including 4000 jews. It is worth mentioning that those 4000 Jews had an incentive, too, and that was living in a more developed country with a lot of privileges and allowances. You called it annihilation, I like to call it a honeymoon trip.
Best regards and love!
@@mahboobrahimi7667 Finally! one sensible response to this nonsense of a video. What's with these zionist and their desire to play victims all the time...
Thanks for sharing your opinions and personal experiences.
Re: 1, 2, 3, 4 - you should study more about the history of your own people. There are a lot of experts, including Pashtuns, who’ve studied and written about it. So just because you’ve never heard about it doesn’t make it false.
In terms of your latter points - that’s nice that you call it a honeymoon and deny pogroms, but being forced out of your country isn’t all fun and games - and there’s a reason there is no Jewish community left in Afghanistan anymore. It’s a real shame, as is what’s happened to Afghanistan since then.
As Muslim from Afghanistan and Tajikistan hes very brave the last jew i respect him
"Paulie, get the bolt cutters from the trunk!"
Love this story, a classic Netflix doc. 😂😂😂😂
the last Jewish woman is his cousin, her penultimate son.
So did he leave and what happened with him
Similarities between jewish culture and persian/afghan culture do not automatically mean Afghans or Persians who have these means they might be decendets from jewish tribes or so. Jews were influenced by Persian culture more than vice versa and looking critical on the developement of Judaism and Persian/Afghan beliefs Persians were usually first and even their monotheism is older than Judaism when you compare real facts not beliefs.
Zoroastrianism is not monotheistic.
The two were always cursing and abusing each other in the most foul terms.
He was the last Afghan "Hebrew" Jew, there are still Persian Jews blending in with the population, they need our prayers along with the Afghan churches,
Taliban won’t do anything to them
Nah
Which churches!?!?!? 😂
Blending in 😁 OK. Clearly you haven't been to Iran 🇮🇷
The Armenian church namely, and many new churches that have had to go under ground.
Gracias 🙏
It wasn't me. I'm not a Jew, and I haven't been to Afghanistan since 2011....
He was SO annoying, the Taliban let him go 🤣 RESPECT
A journalist by the name of Dan Alexe has a video of Zebulon fighting with another Jew- Yitzhak (Isaac) Levi. I do believe that is the said Rabbi.
Getting kicked out a Taliban jail for arguing lol.
Israel should build more Synagogues in Afghanistan. It's a very big country with lots of open space for new settlers.
I pray in the not to distant future you can do a story on the last arab in Israel leaving 🎉
5:30 i came here coz of this iconic historical video
afganistan used to have alot of other faiths til islam came along so i believe the jew
yeah the video of the fight
Ohh its the zabulon who was fighting the other guy over fake charms
I look forward to the day we all believe the TRUTH.
that religion is man made?
@@vinnieg6161 A) religion is man-made
B) religion is divinely inspired; therefore, everything that God commanded must be obeyed.
A-1) If religion is man made then the laws don't hold any inherent meaning or value to them because it also means that the laws are man made therefore there's no way to derive normativity from an arbitrary starting point. A-2) If you cannot derive normativity from the fact that the world is a certain way then you can justify anything.
B-1) If religion is divinely inspired then the laws are objectively true because it comes from an infallible source not involving human emotions or biases. B-2) if the laws are objectively true then it's only the matter of acceptance or denial about the truthfulness of the laws and you cannot justify immoral acts such as murder, stealing etc. A) leads to A-1) which leads to A-2), and B) leads to B-1) which leads to B-2).

U mean khazar the Kingdom?
Wat a Jew ✡️ 👏 he is a legend
I pray for all jews stuck in Muslim countries
I heard Simentov legit is a refugee in Turkey if i am not mistaken
But how do they justify it?
The Qur'an clearly states that "if they (people of other religions) should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful"
Moreover the prophet Muhammad allowed other religions to live in his state freely.
I thought Muslims red the Qur'an?
The story is similar to the last Palestinians in Israel
😅
Wow I finally see Zabulon's face.
Haha only a true Jew would rather live in Afghanistan under Taliban rule than pay his wife’s divorce fees 😂🙈 I’m Jewish by the way but found this hilarious
But of cource som certain people say that this has nothing to do with islam.
Afghanistan has been ruled by Muslims for more than a thousand years, they only left recently because they didn't have children, so no, this has nothing to do with Islam goy
