Want to know what Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East really think about the conflict? Ask a question and I will get answers.
I don't think whoever sent this question realized that the majority of the world doesn't identify themselves based on North American racial terms.
On top of that, the question is closed. It would be better if you asked what (or which) racial group do believe you belong to? Handy suggestions might be useful as it doesn't seem to be something Israelis think a lot about.
That’s kinda the point of the channel tho, isn’t it? Ask questions you don’t know the answer to. 🤷🏽♀️
'White' and 'black' are North American racial terms? How do say, Chinese people think of Africans and Europeans?
It is mostly the media in the USA and Europe keeping up the racism conversation, people get really tired of it!
Middel eastern people are white majority of them are white
I love how most of these people are like 'what the hell is this question'. The American obsession with race is ridiculous
@Mariamne DaMotta what will it change if i read it AGAIN? Ive heard an american say ,,as an italian, do you concider yourself white?’’ That says a lot about how crazy they are
@Kourosh Thats the irony of it
Explain the Solomon Tekah situation then.
Liberal Jews in political office keep pushing that particular envelope. Believe me I’m ready for a meritocracy and no race mentioned at all.
@@prismaticgangster5789 they obviously are
I am Jewish. Here in Brazil I am considered white, because of my skin color, but in the U.S I would probably be considered latino.
In America when you sign up for government papers you have to check a box 1. white 2. Black. 3. Asian. Thats it . Once in a blue it might say -option 4. Native American .
Caroline Araujo i mean it depends. I have a Brazilian Jewish friend here in Canada and we considered him Hispanic but technically we consider Hispanics a variety of White people.
@@duckydarkstar38 so korean asians and tamil indian asians are in the same box huh?
Caroline Araujo Latino/a is not a race... it’s an ethnic and cultural background. There are white Latinos, mixed Latinos, Asian Latinos, black Latinos etc. it is not a race....
@@momemoe7520 yes the categories in those boxes are kind of arbitrary
When I first landed in U.S., I was stunned by the question of my race! I didn't know what race I belong to! All I know is I'm Arab!
Us Jews same problem, America is obsessed with race. I'm a Jew who have white skin and my father has dark skin. What tf am I? hahah
I'm American, they ask everyone for their race to keep track of your identity (ie for your driver's license, doctor appointments, college applications, etc...). Arabs and Jews are both diverse groups of people since you can have very dark people with black hair and brown skin and eyes and people with blonde hair and blue eyes and fair skin (like Ahed Tamimi).
@@dorbitan2935 I'm not Jewish but I'm on the same boat (my dad is Arab and dark and I have light skin and lighter hair). Again America is focused on race because it's a country of people with different backgrounds. It's not like Europe where native people are white or China where native people are Chinese. The US is a melting pot. I'm mixed Arab and European but it does get complicated when people ask me what I am because I'm mixed and I grew up among different cultures. It would be easier if someone wasn't very mixed/mixed looking.
@Queen It's important for identification. What if someone went missing or was kidnapped? Specifying their race can help identify them.
@@komfykoala6083 identifying by race can help if they are missing? Really? what if a mixed person is white looking but racially on documents he is black, so when it's described a 6foot black male, for example, people are looking for black male but in appearance he is white, so how?
Oh my God, Karen, you can’t just ask people why they're White.

hahaha exactly what I was thinking!!
everybody assuming that the middle east is the same skin color now as it was 1000 or 2000 years ago. Human migration and african slaves might have some impact
Stupid question indeed.
I don't think people in Israel think in very Anglo-American racial terms. Shocker.
Race is a European concept. People from non-Western cultures get confused when you try to talk to them about race.
@@ewqdsacxz765 Race is not a concept it's science but black and white aren't races. Caucasian and Congoid are the real term and israelis are for the most caucasians.
In europe we dont ask what race you are We ask what country you come from. Black and white and colorsm is typically an American thing.
@@ewqdsacxz765 not even European, it's a European colonial concept, meaning that it's only in the former European colonies such as America, Brazil etc. In Europe itself race is not really a factor, it's more about nationality, religion and culture.

there arabs who israelis dont belong to this area beacause skin color even though the europeqns jews dosent look white like originale europeans.
and like you said there is arabs that are white and even blond.
Yep pretty much the same concept, there are people who came from different places so of course we have people that are 'white' and 'black' but for us it's not more than a color, even in religions and such, we're all in the same country so it doesn't matter to us
I am brown. Love from Bangladesh ❤️

In Hebrew we do not have a word that describes Caucasians, some of us simply use the word white, yet many people wont even say the word white because it also refers to skin color regardless of race or ethnic group, they will just divide it into ethnic groups such as Ashkenazi mizrahim arabs ethiopians and more..
@@aliner1546 hebrew is incapable of describing the Caucasus Mtns. #TIL

There is the word "Kavkazi" but it describes Georgians, Bukharans and all the ethnicities that came from the Caucasus. This is not a synonym for white caucasian. You can not say that people from Europe are caucasian because in Hebrew the word describes only territory and not a particular race

The guy asking the question's Canadian.
Israelis just don't define them selves by skin color. if you want to call a person black or white that's fine and they wont mind in Israel. they could care less. most people didn't even understand where you were going with your question.
I asked this same question to an Israeli. He was confused about the question. This whole black, brown, white thing would make sense in the US but it's not applicable to all countries. Americans seems to be obsessed with these things. (I'm a brown Asian btw.)
As you'll see from the opening 0:04 the question was posed by three people from the USA. This is where it all came from.
That doesn't mean that racism doesn't exist elsewhere. In the days of the Empire, the question was whether one was "English" or not. The Scots and the Welsh were sort of honorary English, distinguishable principally by accent.
There were unpleasant names for all other groups regardless of skin colour and sometimes just labelled as "foreigners" distinguishable mainly by their eating habits.
@@@kolektib it makes sense in the US because we are multi-cultural, multi-racial to a degree not seen elsewhere (at least in our cities). Also, we have a legal history which was defined in part by race (slavery). We also had a massive civil rights movement, and are having one, in a sense, again. So this issue is a greater part of our reality than it is for most other countries, certainly those in Asia.
As an Israeli you 100% right
True, But it's a shame that most people can only see as far as their or the next person's skin color 👍👍👍👍
I don't get the whole "race obsession" thing Americans have. Can someone please explain?
The USA is a multicultural country so people often identify with a race, furthermore racial issues between races, brings race into American news.
The issue of race started in the US to create easily identifiable classes. From there the elite used race as a way to pit one group against another. Unfortunately it worked too well, because some truly believe in it and live by it.
Some say it started with colonialism and was reinforced in the US because we held on to it longer in our way of life.
Oh, it also dictated intelligence level. White being the most.
Well...
If you look before the colonisation period you will find that there was a lack of slavery compared to other parts of the world within europe. This was mostly the result of the idea that all people are equal under god. As a result the only way in which slavery could occur is if one person was well ... less human.. and this is what happend in the colonisation period. The west stumbled upon people stuck at the bottom of the techtree and declared them not to be human. That's how the transatlantic slave trade was justified. There were literally zoos that housed black people. (Don't get me wrong most of the slaves were bought from native inhabitants in exchange for guns so how they thought they weren't humans is beyond me. But the kkk for instance still believes that blacks and whites are different species)
As you might be able to geuss this resulted in quite a bit of history that put emphasis on race, which is why it has become a very loaded subject.
Another reason why the distinction is made along broad "racial" lines instead of ethnic lines is because the original language and heritage of those enslaved blacks was lost as they and their children adopted the english language. And the age of America as "the great melting pod" saw lots of immigration but there was much emphasis on assimilation so ethnicity didn't cut it as an effective marker. Which is why those people also got shoehorned into a broad racial group.
I think this explain why it's such a single dimensional thing in the US and why it's such a loaded subject.
"I am a person of the world"

why didn’t you ask more ashkenazis
As an Ashkenazi, I personally don't see myself at all as "white" other than, yes, my skin color is lighter than the other groups in the region (eastern Mediterranean), but culturally I am [Israeli] Jewish. As an ethnicity, we still as a whole derived from the line of Avraham, who was from the region, so that being said, we're not "white" even though we can be taken for it easily at times.
Perhaps that's why as a grouping, there was so much assimilation that in America, the Jewish identity is not as defined or dignified as it is elsewhere, so particularly those who grow up without knowledge of their identity, may have the primal urges to love Mediterranean food of the region more, love that music more, etc... without knowing why. We're all family deep down, some are just far away from home.
The purest Ashkenazis that you see in the US are mostly the Orthodox ones in Israel like the last guy, secular ones are mixed like the brown guy who said his ancestors were from Russia.
@LaVioletaAmatista not really. There have always been more Ashkenazim than Mizrahim. You can barely tell one's background nowadays as so many are mixed. And it's not like askenazi jews look German or Irish you know, most also look Mediterranean. My great grandparent is israeli, the other from Morroco and I'm "white", super light skin, green eyes, freckles and all. my best friend is askenazi and looks totally middle Eastern. I just identify as Israeli or Mediterranean, I think most do, these terms are totally outdated and irrelevant here..
@LaVioletaAmatista You are incorrect. I suggest yo visit Israel sometime and see for yourself. Mostly Mizrahi?! Tell that to my relatives that live on a border kibbutz in the south. Sorry but they look Scandinavian.
@@Lagolop there are alot of ashknzis that has more european.features then they should. You can see.them mainly in the ultra religious groups. These look very weird and not jewish.
I am Christian Orthodox from Greece and I look as an Arab.
Personally, I identify myself as a Mediterranean European or brown like Egyptians, but not white from Russia etc.
That makes sense
I am Christian Orthodox from Greece and I look as a Scandinavian.

@@ZodiakAsHell I am very darker than you. I look Arab, Egyptian, Moroccan. In school some of my classmates, passed me as a Muslim.

They're considered white now
White means not much even in a country like Croatia or Slovenia lol. We know the concept, but we don't really call it white. Especially since European ancestry doesnt only include completely pale Northwest europeans.
Makes sense
No wonder the rest of the world thinks we Americans are so simple minded. We are all either "black or white" or "left or right" literally no connection whatsoever to our ancestors and their cultures. Boiling an identity down to one syllable words that you learned when you were first learning words in general? We all really aren't so simple minded it's just the ecosystem our "leaders" have laid out for us.
I wouldn't say that the rest of the world think that Americans are simple minded, but generally simply organized in their views on everything being political, religious or cultural. It seems more of a needed semplification in a complicated country, but of course in time this semplification could flat people's brains.
Also the use of the word "race" is not correct and not in relation to skin colour anyway. It would be better to speak about different ethnicities of a single human race. Skin colour is misleading as there are people with fair skin among people considered black and darker tones in people with a "white" label on them.
What comes out in physical appearance is often not overlapping genetical ascendance. There are many physical features that make you guess and only guess the ascendance of a person, not just skin colour.
Face traits, bodily shape, eye shape, noses, shoulders and movements and walking style.
Generally speaking, with a few exception, people in Israel from these videos would not be considered "white" in Europe, not even South Europe, rather Arab with a wide spectrum because even when very pale or light-haired they show face traits that are not Caucasian, like for example the 1st man and especially the 2nd man would immediately be seen as a foreigner in any European country regardless of his skin tone and it's likely that if he went to Europe people would talk to him in English LOL. That said, it doesn't really make any difference. Still all humans with a very interesting variety of possibilities.

2:11 “we are closer to mexicans” yeah as a mexican i reaffirm that, we have lots of whites and lots of tanned looking like him too (I’m exactly his skin tone)

@@robertovalverdemora9112 maybe 1000 years ago, the mexican population is like 70% mestizos what means "mixed", the mix of amerindias and spanish people so the skin colour can be from tanned looking to white, we have only 14% of amerindians population who are direct blood with mayans and aztecs and the left 16% are white race.

Its so nice to see that people don't define each other by the colour of their skin, here in India everyone has brown or dusky skin tone with few exceptions, the society is obsessed with fair or "white" skin. The more fair someone is the more importance they are given
Is it because historically, the upper classes/castes were fair?

I always refer to them as a race of elites that run the banking cartel and the media.
To be fair, most of them claimed they're not white. I think the "fellow white people" mentality is more of a Jewish-American thing.
This is a bad question for the simply fact that the way we think of race in America is very specific to the United States.
Dear Israeli's, you are Arab not white or Hispanic or anything else. Is a Nigerian a different race from a Ghanaian? Different language and culture perhaps but not different in race. If Israeli's are white then so are Palestinians. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Most of them don't look particularly different from other Levantine populations, the Levant not being an entirely homogenous place phenotype wise to begin with.
@rr rr Levantines are originally light complected. People from the Gulf nations who are much darker migrated to the area in the 7th century and forward, and now the area is quite heterogenous. Additionally the area was conquered by the British and French and a lot of people from the Caucasus region migrated to the area.
rr rr The Arabs are not an unified ethnic group, but a massive mixed identity. The only real Arabs are those from the Gulf states, where they came from. Arabs in Levant, Iraq and North Africa are mostly recognized as Arabized people, whom many of its cultures are not the same to Gulf Arabs except the language. Levant and North Africa, however, had a long contact with ancient civilization, being used to have Roman influences. Arabs came from Arabian peninsula etc gulf . before they invaded other lands and intermarried with the people. Their natural skin tone is mostly tanned olive Hair is usually wavy or curly, but not as curly as Northeast Africans. Eye brows are thicker than most Europeans. Eye lashes are longer than Europeans and the lips are thicker. Levant arabs In the other hand are much lighter than Peninsula Arabs . Due to the crucade, many Lebanese and Palestinians carry European ancestry. Their appearance resembles Southern Europeans, with nose and eyes smaller than most Middle Easterners and the lips look more like Europeans.
@Cetori_-_Xubi 🙂 wow so nobody does plastic surgery except for lebanese persian does it in the USA korea
@Quack The Duck lol no not traced to mesopotamia , Arabs originated from Arabia from thousands of years Iraq later became Arab and today most of them have significant Arabian dna ! And Yes, yes, there were SOME Arabs in the Levant and Mesopotamia pre-Muslim invasion - like literally a handful of tribes, but they were a MINORITY, and it was well-known even back then that they were not originally from the Levant and that they emigrated from the gulf. Moreover, people do not realise that Arabs prefer to marry other Arabs so as to preserve the “purity” of their bloodlines, so mixing with the local population was not as common as people like to think.
@@nooraqueen2716 African DNA is in Arabia and high in Levant, and before Islam, since Palestine is,really, North East Africa, and Arabia, like Italian Peninsula tothe European Continent, a Peninsula of the African Continent.
I'm in Ireland, from Herzegovina originally, mix of Adriatic sea people, guy at 1:00 said what majority of people are saying in Europe. Been asked quite a lot am I from Israel ( Italian is the second guess even from Italians when they ask me, people in Spain think I'm joking if I speak English ) as well. Northern blue eyed blond haired usually don't consider Mediterranean as European as I've noticed.
Nije realno. Pravi bijelci oni iz Grčke, Italije..... dok su sjevernjaci barbari došli tek nakon što je zapadna civilizacija već bila formirana.
It’s cause you’re Balkan, we’re genetically half middle eastern
Exactly I'm Sicilian but only ones who call me white is African Americans.
White Americans and Europeans call me an Arab 😆
No, you're white. Like Pirandello or Verga.
Holy shit, I never expected to see this question.

I am glad this was a topic of discussion. The US is exhausting the idea of clumping into large groups without distinguishing anything but the basic layer. Being proud of being Israeli together, should be embraced as a whole - one day we'll succeed and happiness will definitely be experienced, but we have to see we're all family throughout the millennia, no matter no matter how we frustrate one another at times :P

I love your comment. We're Am Achad.
Ask Jewish people in New York City. I think you may get some really interesting responses
At another point history they considered themselves white. Even checked the white box. Until being white isn't convenient anymore. Now they check the other box
@@woodulike2know391 Funnily enough we’ve probably started to consider ourselves MORE white in the more recent times. Most other points in history we we’re very isolated in our Shtetls from the traditional white Europeans. You’ll probably find throughout history Jews considered themselves to be Jews. And didn’t delve much into the idea of race and such. So you are actually wrong with that point. Race and whiteness is a very new Western secular thing. It’s only recently have we Jews started calling a lot of ourselves white. And it’s expected since we’ve become more integrated with the USA in the post modern era. Which is why you have a lot of white guilt and woke virtue signaling coming from Jews. Though I’m not sure I will be able to have the most rational conversation with you. Seeing your other comments you’re probably not very fond of Jews in general. But we will see if that can be put aside.
@@woodulike2know391 They checked the white box to become citizens. It is funny that you guys already forgot your dark history and racial segregation
israelis are darker then american jews tho most jews in america have roots in europe while in israel most jews have roots in africa and asia
What a great place is Israel. People there have difficults to understand what's the point of the question.
the persian guy is funny. "we are mediterranean". since when is iran mediterranean? hahaha. "we could be italian, spanish". really?
he's right, culturally Israel historically and obviously geographically has belonged to Medditerranian region
Because ethnically he is a Mediterranean person. He descend from Jews native to the levant and to israel that after being expelled from Israel reached ancient Persia and stayed there while adopting the Farsi language and Persian culture. So ethnically he is not Persian and he is mostly Levantine Mediterranean. He might have a little Persian dna if he have had a Persian ancestor that converted to Judaism and married his other ancestors. But he is mostly Mediterranean.
ArapputuAllah CC lol yeah also this guy looks clearly black mixed, he even have a black man voice😂
the persians near to india not mediterranean
In Israel most people don't really understand this whole thing with races and white/black etc. That's why they consider their "race" simply as where their parents are from, and they can't really "call" their race other than that country their parents/grandparents are from. That's why you've seen a couple that said that they think they would've been called Hispanic (although they are clearly not hispanic) and that's why this guy said he's middle eastern. In addition, when he said he could be Spanish/Italian etc, he meant that jews and Israelis in general can also be from Spain and Italy.
Hopefully you understood
i think the concept of whiteness is quite dated and can easily be chipped away at when you start asking whether jews, armenians, greeks, etc fall under that label. it still makes sense as a colloquial distinction but when talking seriously about race we should be thinking in terms of europeanness rather than whiteness
Obviously people generally mean Caucasians of European ancestry when they say White.
@@supahnubz you realize all Greeks are European? Also many Armenians obviously are pure European blood or mostly
Really it should just be Northern Europe cause Serbians look like Turks
It means people from Europe so Greeks are white because they are Europeans! Armenians and Israelis are not white unless they have European ancestry.
When I was younger I never thought of myself in terms of a colour. Now however, in the UK I am constantly asked my ethnic origin: white, black asian etc etc. So, people are now forced into these ‘colour’ identities.
I think the UK adopted that from america, which is kinda sad. I hope we never get to the point where instead of calling people british, we'll call them like 'african-british' or 'asain-british'.
As a person from Israel we don't care about color, a lot of the reason is because we came from different places and at least a portion of the citizens doesn't really care about color. If someone will ask me if I consider myself white because of my 'white' skin I'll just say that doesn't matter
@Vladimir Putin No but there's a difference between what nazi germany did, and the cultural marxism of america (which wasn't necessarily invented in america, but is certainly pervasive in america more so than in other english speaking countries, or any other countries for that matter). In nazi germany, you never had jews saying that they were in fact the oppressor and that they were responsible for all the economic hardship of germany, but in america it's largely white people who are making themselves the villain of history, and the oppressor, and they're bringing back a form of marxism - this time though the bourgeoisie and upper class has been replaced by white people, and the oppressed are the ethnic minorities, and the whole of history can be viewed as just a race struggle. Hitler might have been preaching a form of race theory, but what america is popularising is Critical Race Theory. Also, this idea of race theory, or white people/any race if people being a master race far predated hitler. Hitler never invented race theory. That's like the people who day hitler invented anti-semitism. He certainly didn't.
@@nolongerjuicyboiz4413 the brits brought that shit over to the US though. British people just like to act like they've never done anything wrong. British people made America what it is today.
@777qvex slavery...
Interesting discussion. I would love to see Corey ask Jews in Canada or the USA if they are "white". Most will say "Yes". Ask an Arab living in the USA or Canada and they will definitely say "No." It's about social acceptance and access to power in the USA/Canada. To my deceased grandmother who was an adult in the 1920s, Italians and Germans were also not "white".
A better question is whether these people consider Jews and Arabs to both be "semetic"...
well they are but western culture thinks antisemetism is anti jews which is not true, western society spread the message of antisemetism is anti jews but if you search the meaning it is anyone who is against abrahamic religions so islam and judaism, christianity is sub-judaism but wanted to just make judaism easier for people to worship which judaism in its original form is impossible to completely worship as well as islam, you cant follow so many rules and still be alive.
Most will not say yes, necessarily. But that is definitely the argument constructed by myth of “settler colonialism.”
@@_AultraGreen_sorry to Burst your bubble dude. The term antisemitic was coined in Germany in the 1800s as Jew hatred. They didn't have a lot of Muslim in Europe at that time so the only "semitic people" they knew at the time were basically the jews
I am Baige but i personally prefer purple people but dark green people are what makes the world a really terrible place.
Totally agree

@@creepyglider5520 LOLOL
They are just proud to be Israel's and so they should be.
You are great person heval Corey ✌️😁
Everyone asks 'who is white' but no one asks 'how is white'..
People in this region ( I'm from there too) care more about ethnic, religion or classism discrimination
I realized something. The guy asking the questions thinks in terms of division. The people answering think in terms of unity - not black or white . They're just Israelis. All Israelis I know and ever have known are thinking in terms of sort of a brothers and sisters and friends kind of thing - just Israelis.
They don’t think in terms of what country their ancestors came from or their hair and skin or any of those kinds of categories. That’s why a lot of them are sort of confused by his questions. It’s just not a part of their thinking. I've loved the Israelis I've known. They said that sometimes the really older people can be a bit racist but I’ve known a lot of older people - many over the years - and not a one of them has been prejudiced or racist.
The Israelis I've known have been more idealistic than superficial. They seem to care more about what a person is like on the inside than what they look like or anything else superficial.
Hi, I just would like to clarify, the interviewer (Corey Gil-Shuster) did not make up the question. People from all over and of various national and ethnic backgrounds send him questions. As a Canadian Jew who has lived in Israel for quite a while, and having seen many of his videos, I don't think he comes to these sessions with a fixed idea.
Jews are Jews.
what a stupid question
Imagine if US americans knew that they are literally the only people in the world who classify themselves in terms of black/white
It's understandable, that's the predominant people of the US, but still, don't apply your terminology on the rest of the world
That is not right, we in Australia are proud of our white and black heritage
From ethiopia,i appreciate your vd🎉
"I think our strength is we know how to find within ourselves both white and black." Simply beautiful. I can't wait for this to be the mainstream thinking of people in the US.
Israel is very diverse in skin colors and cultures since a lot of Israelis came from very different part of the world, so most people don’t really care about skin color as much as cultural differences or religion
Those American terms aren't universal and can't be applied everywhere. I'm from Mexico but all my family comes from Korea. I'm Latin American but Americans seems to get confused when they hear me speaking Spanish
I hate Americans so much.
@@ihatepartisans.7198 Based.
I must say, i laughed a lot. I love how most of them think of white more as s color rather than a race and I absolutely LOVE how much it doesn’t matter in Israel.
P.s: Omg that David guy is so educated and look at the concept in the whole new and different point of view.
@Ida B that David guy looks a little European , A little Asian and a little African.
Because they are not as diverse as in the US
It doesn't matter in Europe because it's American concept. I don't understand it at all! I'm from Finland, the land of whitest of whites, colouring wise. But for centuries Europeans accused us as Mongols.

because they are middle eastern(except ashkanazi)
I've seen white, or light skinned Palestinians, And I've seen white Jewish Israelis. I've also seen dark skinned Palestinians and dark skinned Israelis, and both nationalities in a lightish tanned color with hazle or dark brown eyes.
Many Israeli Arabs (Muslims) and Palestinians look part Black, like Egyptans but Darker than Syrians/Lebanese. I was surprised.

All racists consider Jews to be the opposite race of whatever they are.
Our ancestors described themselves almost two thousand years ago in Israel - in mishna negaim - not black, not white, but in the middle.
Jews are the color of boxwood, if you look at boxwood it is wheat colored.
In American paperwork where we must put demographic information, they often ask about our race and we must choose one. Do other countries not really do that?
No, that’s odd

I think they confused the skin color with a racial classification. Definitely, but I'm surprised that in Israel they don't care about what skin color you are, like: Just be yourself. Amazing people, I'm not Jewish but my grandparents are from Israel. Algeria and Hungary by the way.
