00:30This is one of the most powerful narratives, one of the most widespread, or rather, narratives and myths of Islamic, Arab, and pro-Palestinian propaganda.
00:41There's not a word of truth in this myth, what I just said.
00:46And we're going to debunk it now.
00:49And so we begin this series one already mentioned, Myths of Islamic Propaganda.
00:54Dima Chernyshav will be assisting us in preparing this series.
00:58He's a fellow journalist, among others.
01:00He teaches a course on creative thinking.
01:02I highly recommend you watch it.
01:04We'll put a link to his website in the description.
01:06So, please contact him, visit his website.
01:09Everything's explained there, basically.
01:11And please don't forget to support this video.
01:13Like, subscribe, comment, all the usual.
01:16You can, uh, help financially.
01:18It's a kind of gratitude for our work.
01:20The button is super, thank you.
01:22The Patreon platform, link in the description.
01:24There's sponsorship on YouTube, you can become a sponsor.
01:27There's a website with my merch.
01:29That's also a way to support the channel.
01:31A t-shirt like this, or a book with an autograph, or a t-shirt with a book.
01:35There are promotions there.
01:37Uh, thanks to everyone who supports the channel.
01:41Again, remember that children's fairy tale, right?
01:46The hare had a hut deep in the depths, and the fox had an icy one.
01:50The fox came to the hare to warm up and then, well, kicked him out of the hut.
01:54This myth is literally reproduced in Islamic propaganda.
01:58That the Arabs lived happily on their land, happy, and everything was fine.
02:03Then the Jews arrived, saved them, and sheltered them.
02:07We sheltered them, we saved them.
02:09It sounds obligatory.
02:11And then the Jews, you see, settled in and then kicked them out of their homes and evicted them.
02:15It's all untrue, as I've already said, from beginning to end.
02:19Well, I guess we can start with the fact that Jews have always lived on this land.
02:24I won't go too far back in history now, like the parting of the Red Sea, the flight of the
02:28Jews from Egypt, the 40-year exodus in the desert, and so on and so forth.
02:32But, for example, references to the Jewish community of Hebron, for example, the city
02:37of Hebron, literally date back to biblical times.
02:40That is, the city of Hebron, where Jews lived, is mentioned even in the Old Testament.
02:45But we won't talk about Hebron now.
02:46I'll mention it a little later, by the way, for illustration purposes.
02:50Just imagine that Germany, for example, has taken in about a million Ukrainian refugees,
02:56maybe more, since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
03:01A Syrian migrant who lives day-to-day in the suburbs of Frankfurt, on welfare, doing nothing,
03:06can he say, we've sheltered you?
03:08I think probably not.
03:11He has nothing to do with it.
03:13Germany as a state, yes, he can.
03:16A Syrian migrant, no, or an Algerian one.
03:19Why?
03:21The Arab presence at that time, the Arab presence in, say, Palestine, yes, in this territory,
03:27well, it's believed to date back to around the 6th century.
03:31That's where the Battle of Yarmouk was, and Byzantium, which was defeated by the Arab conquerors,
03:36the very same Saracens.
03:39And then they showed up here, the 6th century.
03:41I repeat, the Jewish presence here was much earlier.
03:45Both the first and second temples were here.
03:47The oldest synagogue in Israel is still in existence.
03:52Yes, there are excavations that periodically uncover the remains of ancient synagogues.
03:56But the oldest synagogue in Israel is considered to have been built between the 6th century BCE and the 4th century CE.
04:05That's 2020, 5 years ago.
04:11Something like that.
04:13So, it's one of the oldest synagogues discovered in the world.
04:19It's in Gamla, a, male Gamla.
04:23It's in the Dutch Heights, so it's considered one of the oldest synagogues.
04:27Now, the oldest mosque, or rather, the archaeological mosque.
04:32It's a white mosque, founded in the 6th century, or 720 CE, so it wasn't used during the Umayyad dynasty.
04:42There are ruins dating back 700 years between the oldest synagogue, a, destroyed, and the oldest mosque.
04:52So, to the question of who was here first.
04:54Well, okay, we won't go that far back in history.
04:57We'll debunk this myth now.
04:59From a relatively modern perspective, there's the Ottoman Empire, and within it, there's the province of Palestine, a remote, completely abandoned place.
05:09There aren't a single forest or field there, just malaria-ridden swamps and deserts, nothing else.
05:14And a few Arab tribes live there.
05:19In 1492, which is the very end of the 15th century, the famous, infamous expulsion of Jews from Spain takes place.
05:26The royal couple, Ferdinand II and Isabella II, under the influence of the Inquisition,
05:33issue a decree that all Jews must immediately convert to Christianity or leave Spain immediately.
05:39They were given a very short period to consider their decision or pack their things.
05:43Some Jews remained there and converted to Christianity.
05:46That's another story entirely, and we won't go into it.
05:49And most left because people didn't want to compromise their faith.
05:53Yes, they left Spain.
05:54Some scattered across Europe, reaching as far as Eastern Europe.
06:00Some moved to North Africa, where large Jewish communities emerged in Tunisia, Algeria, for example, or Morocco.
06:08And some ended up in Palestine.
06:11How?
06:11Sultan Bezit II ruled the Ottoman Empire at the time.
06:15He's considered a rather respected statesman.
06:19He, uh, was busy strengthening and expanding the borders of his empire.
06:22Under him, the Ottomans finally established themselves, for example, asserted their dominance over the Black Sea, for example.
06:30And when he learned of this story, he immediately dispatched his most famous admiral.
06:35His name was Kamalri Izz.
06:37He was an Ottoman pirate, an admiral, or even a navigator.
06:40He sent him along with a squadron to pick up Jews from Spain.
06:44That's how it looked to him.
06:48He even later said that King Ferdinand could hardly be called a wise ruler.
06:54If any of you, he said, addressing his courtiers, call Ferdinand a wise ruler, they are greatly mistaken.
07:01He ruined his country and enriched mine.
07:03Well, judge for yourself.
07:04Hundreds of thousands of people, hardworking, intelligent, educated for those times, skilled in various crafts and arts, skilled in handling money, extremely loyal to the current government, always, yes, never inclined to any separatism or other such matters.
07:21They are expelled from the state and they can be taken away, sent to an abandoned province.
07:29They were all sent to Palestine, yes, to make that province flourish there and so on.
07:34Well, they didn't just settle in Palestine, let's say.
07:37Uh, the first printing house.
07:41In 1492, the Jews were expelled from Spain, some of them ended up in Constantinople.
07:46And in 1493, that is, a year later, they had already opened the first printing press in Constantinople.
07:53Just a moment, yes, exactly.
07:55And so they were all, in fact, partially.
07:59Resettled, not all, again.
08:01Those taken by Sultan Bazit ended up in Ottoman Palestine.
08:05Did anyone ask the Arabs whether to resettle the Jews in Palestine?
08:09Well, no, of course not.
08:12Just as no one asked that, uh, Syrian migrant in Germany.
08:15Germany simply accepted the refugees.
08:18That's exactly how the Ottoman Empire accepted Jewish refugees at the end of the 10th century.
08:24And no one even remotely asked the Arabs there.
08:27Just as no one would have asked the Bulgarians, for example,
08:30if Sultan Bazit had decided to settle the Jews in Bulgaria,
08:33as a province of the Ottoman Empire at that time.
08:35No one would have asked them if they wanted to settle them somewhere else,
08:38in the province of Syria, for example,
08:40and now Damascus would be the capital of the Jewish state, for example.
08:44Yes, something like that.
08:46I repeat, apart from the fact that there was always a Jewish presence in Palestine.
08:51It wasn't Arab at all.
08:53It was simply, it was a territorial designation of Palestine.
08:57It's like Australia is called Australia, Palestine is called Palestine.
09:01So these refugees were brought here,
09:03they started settling here, basically, and doing their, uh, work.
09:07The Arabs didn't like it at all.
09:10The first Jewish pogroms were already noted back then.
09:13Well, more accurately, not pogroms, but rather isolated attacks on Jews,
09:18which were suppressed by the Turks with monstrous cruelty.
09:20For obvious reasons, the Turks didn't allow anything like that.
09:23But then, gradually, gradually, time passed, and the Jews lived in the Ottoman Empire.
09:28They didn't live here as Muslims.
09:29Accordingly, they paid double taxes, and various restrictions applied to them.
09:35For example, a Jew always had to stand in the presence of a Muslim.
09:39Those were the laws in the Ottoman Empire.
09:41Well, nothing can be done about it.
09:43So, one of the sultans, for example,
09:46forced the Jews to wear the image of a donkey on their clothes
09:49because Jews weren't allowed to ride horses, as Muslims, only donkeys.
09:53And this was the precursor to the Yellow Star,
09:55that is, it already existed back then.
09:57All this existed, no doubt about it.
09:59Well, those were dark times, nothing can be done.
10:02Nevertheless, Bassett gave the Jews the opportunity
10:05to live in their own country as citizens,
10:07not quite equal, but as citizens.
10:09Then the following happened.
10:13When the story began, Palestine became British territory
10:16after the Ottoman Empire suffered a crushing defeat in World War I,
10:20disintegrated, and this territory, accordingly, went to the British.
10:27Many Arabs say that then a flood of Jews immediately poured into British Palestine,
10:33and this kind of Jewish colonization began.
10:37This is also not true.
10:40Jews bought all the land here.
10:42It was a deliberate policy, but they bought this land.
10:45No one stood with a gun to their head and forced the Arabs to sell this land.
10:51Judge for yourself what this land looked like back then.
10:54Now, look at Tel Aviv, yes, or some other, I don't know, uh, decided Litchin.
11:02Flourishing cities, skyscrapers, I don't know, just complete development.
11:06But back then, it was hills, dunes, and malarial swamps.
11:11There was nothing here.
11:12Naturally, it was all malarial swamps.
11:15And the Arabs were willing to sell this land,
11:17because there was no development here under their rule.
11:19In fact, they were willing to sell this land,
11:22and they sold it at monstrously inflated prices.
11:24In 1944, an acre, a unit of land measurement,
11:29uh, fertile land in the state of Arizona, cost $100.
11:341,001 from 100 to 120.
11:37An acre of malaria swamps in Palestine cost $1,000.
11:41And the Jews still wanted it, that is, 10 times more.
11:45Considering that, as you understand, in 1944, $1,000 is like now,
11:50I don't know, probably $100,000, something like that.
11:53And the Jews bought up this land.
11:55The Arabs all say that this is all a lie,
11:57that there was no land purchase.
11:59They took everything from us.
12:01I had to attend all sorts of their gatherings like these,
12:04the same Fata meetings.
12:07I even had to attend Hamas meetings back in the day,
12:10when I went to Gaza and the Palestinian Authority.
12:13Their obligatory part of this performance was this.
12:15They drag some decrepit old man up to the podium,
12:18and he takes out Furman.
12:19A Furman is, uh, a certificate of ownership from the Ottoman Empire.
12:27It's a huge piece of paper with a seal hanging on a string, like this one.
12:32So, waving this Furman around,
12:34he says that all the land from Ashkelon to Tel Aviv belonged to his,
12:38you know, grandfather or great-grandfather.
12:40So, the Jews, you know, took it all away.
12:43As a good friend of mine put it,
12:47if you calculate the area of all the land listed in these Furmans,
12:50which they don't like to wave around,
12:52you get Australia, not Palestine.
12:56All this happened on a completely legal basis,
12:59after which the state of Israel was formed there and so on.
13:02Well, then again,
13:05maybe someone will say that it wasn't the Arabs who sheltered the Jews,
13:09but the British who sheltered the Jews.
13:12Yes, again, no one asked the Arabs,
13:15it's an obvious story,
13:16but it was the British who sheltered the Jews.
13:19Once again,
13:20when the British mandate extended to this territory,
13:23Jews were already living here all over Ivanovo.
13:26There were already a lot of them here.
13:28They continued to come here.
13:29Some, well, after the war,
13:32after the Holocaust,
13:33that's a different story.
13:36But nevertheless,
13:37in 1922,
13:39Churchill wrote his white paper,
13:40which began to restrict Jewish migration to Palestine.
13:45Regarding the question of the British,
13:47then,
13:47sheltering someone here.
13:51It was stated there that the British government
13:53did not want Palestine to become as Jewish as England is English.
13:59By that time,
14:02this terrible spiral in Europe was already beginning to unfold.
14:07Hitler had already come to power,
14:09there had already been Kristallnacht,
14:11the massacre of Jews,
14:12yes,
14:13those pogroms,
14:14it was already pretty clear where everything was heading.
14:18But the British did not want to let Jewish refugees into Palestine.
14:21Moreover,
14:24they moved ships here to protect the coast,
14:27to intercept ships carrying Jewish refugees and,
14:29uh,
14:30to prevent them from reaching Palestine.
14:35So,
14:36on September 1st,
14:371939,
14:38when Warsaw was bombed,
14:39at the beginning of World War II,
14:41a British destroyer opened fire on the Tiger Hole.
14:43There were 1,417 refugees on board.
14:49Two people died,
14:50but the destroyer first fired warning shots,
14:52and then,
14:53accordingly,
14:54two more were killed.
14:58So,
14:58the first two Jews in World War II were killed not by the Germans,
15:02but by the British,
15:03as this story tells us.
15:08Moreover,
15:09even in Britain itself,
15:11there was this issue.
15:11Some Jews managed to escape,
15:13before all these mechanisms for the extermination of the Jews were in full swing there.
15:20Yes,
15:21when everything was not yet completely terrible,
15:23many managed to escape to Britain via France,
15:26cross the Straits,
15:27and escape.
15:29So,
15:2927,000 Jews were interned.
15:33That is,
15:34they were locked up in special camps because Britain was in the midst of a wild spy mania,
15:38claiming the Germans were sending us their spies disguised as Jews.
15:42And 27,000 Jews spent the rest of the war in British camps,
15:46along with actual Nazi collaborators in Britain.
15:49This is about the issue of,
15:51well,
15:51sheltering them.
15:53Then comes the whole thing.
15:56Jewish pogroms began in British Palestine.
15:59This is about the Arabs letting the Jews in,
16:01right?
16:02And,
16:02therefore,
16:03giving them blood.
16:04So,
16:04if someone in Kazakhstan were to say,
16:06we sheltered them,
16:07they'd be absolutely right.
16:09It's clear that the current inhabitants of Kazakhstan no longer have anything to do with those events.
16:14They were their grandparents,
16:16at best.
16:18Nevertheless,
16:19there in Kazakhstan,
16:20the Kazakhs really did provide shelter.
16:22There are plenty of examples of Kazakhs taking in children whose parents had died,
16:29of some Kazakh woman raising 10 children of completely different nationalities.
16:33It's not just about Jews.
16:37Kazakhs can seriously and rightfully say,
16:39yes,
16:40we gave them shelter.
16:41That's it.
16:42And since they gave them shelter,
16:43there's a corresponding relationship.
16:45And those who are now talking about it,
16:47based on historical memory,
16:48have the right to do so.
16:49The Arabs,
16:50on the other hand,
16:51started doing what they loved,
16:52smashing everything in sight.
16:53Yes.
16:54For example,
16:56in 1929,
16:57in Hebron,
16:58there was a Jewish pogrom.
17:00A horrific,
17:01absolute Hebron pogrom.
17:03You can google it.
17:05133 people were killed and over 300 wounded.
17:09The Arabs were smashing,
17:10uh,
17:10the Jewish neighborhoods in Hebron.
17:12The British army,
17:13having observed this,
17:14arrived about a day later,
17:15apparently to help,
17:17supposedly came to the rescue,
17:18and so on.
17:19But nevertheless,
17:20once again,
17:21133 killed.
17:22What's curious is,
17:23uh,
17:23or Dina Schwartz,
17:25there's a researcher.
17:27She was in Hebron in 2022,
17:29if I'm not mistaken,
17:30and spoke with local Arabs.
17:33They deny that Jews ever lived in Hebron,
17:35that there's this cave about the fathers,
17:37that there's a Jewish quarter there
17:39that's 100,000 years old,
17:40and so on.
17:42They deny that there were Jews at all
17:44and deny the fact of the pogrom.
17:46It didn't happen.
17:47Doesn't this remind you of anything?
17:49Yes,
17:49there wasn't a riot there,
17:50not exactly,
17:52that is,
17:52the parallels are very,
17:53very direct,
17:54and so on,
17:55but she, too,
17:56was struck by this phenomenon.
17:58How is that possible?
18:00But if Hebron is mentioned in the Old Testament,
18:02then how can you deny such an obvious fact?
18:04But nevertheless,
18:05well,
18:06in 1921,
18:07for example,
18:08there was also a pogrom in Yavfo.
18:10There were very serious unrest.
18:12There were also many deaths there,
18:13dozens of deaths on the Jewish side,
18:15but the Jews there resisted.
18:16after which,
18:19by the way,
18:20as far as I understand,
18:21Tel Aviv began to emerge,
18:23because some Jews moved,
18:24well,
18:25a little further north,
18:26and they founded the city we now know as Tel Aviv.
18:31So the Arabs didn't take anyone in,
18:33and they didn't provide any assistance to the Jews.
18:36It was the Jews,
18:40through their labor,
18:41having bought this land,
18:42partially defended it there by force of arms,
18:44who created a prosperous state here.
18:49If Sultan Bezd had chosen another province there for his,
18:52uh,
18:52empire,
18:53yes,
18:54and sent the Jews there,
18:55then this area,
18:56this Palestine,
18:57would have remained malaria-ridden swamps,
18:59who knows what,
19:00sands through which camels and donkeys would wander back and forth.
19:05That's it.
19:07But that's how it turned out that a Jewish state was formed here.
19:11So,
19:12once again,
19:13the Arabs didn't give the Jews shelter,
19:14didn't give them any sort of shelter.
19:16On the contrary,
19:17they tried their best to drive them out,
19:19kill them,
19:20smash them,
19:21and so on,
19:22but they failed,
19:23and so a Jewish state was formed here.
19:26The Arabs successfully flushed their chance to create a state,
19:29in 1948 by attacking the newly formed Jewish state.
19:34And we're seeing the results,
19:35basically,
19:36today.
19:38So,
19:39we'll continue to debunk these myths.
19:42We'll continue to make videos like this regularly,
19:45once a week.
19:46Please don't forget to support them.
19:48By the way,
19:48let us know in the comments what you think of this format,
19:51whether you're interested in this kind of thing.
19:53And then we'll continue to tell you about this,
19:55we'll continue to do so.
19:57Thanks for watching,
19:58thanks for supporting,
20:00and we'll see you soon.
20:02Bye everyone.
