Yes, there was no distinct group of people claiming this specific part of the land. All the tribes that are living on the area are sparsely populated between besides a few small cities, and there is no distinction from them and Arabs in Damascus. All the Arabs of the levant were living under the Ottoman empire, So if Jews ended up making a country in modern day Israel, While the Arabs got modern day Jordan, Lebanon And Syria as a country (Under the former territory Syria-Paelestina) it would make total sense as these Arabs were considered together as a single group of tribes. The problem is when the British and the French ended up splitting the land into colonies, Causing them later to all have national movements of their own. Despite all that the UN proposal for the Jewish state was only for around half of modern day Israel, West bank and Gaza, Despite the immigration that was happening due to Jewish Persecution from Europe and the Arab world making the 1948 population grow to being 33% Jews, And despite the fact that the Arabs on the proposed state were still not a "People" as the Palestinian national movement (Or the identification as a separate group of people) only formed in 1968 or so unlike all the other nearby colonies or the Jews which not even regarding their separate ethnicity and religion had their Zionist movement and the quest to have a state for the Jews form in the late 1800's leading them to support the British in both world wars in exchange for support in creating a state..
That is BS Jew barely own 6% of the land which was called Palestine even before the ottoman empire plus by 1898 alone there was over 400000 Palestinians living and they weren't no Nomadic but indigenous people who were living there for decades@@_anon464

As a Palestinian, I am happy to see many positive and informed comments, as they do not think that our country was fanatical and inhuman, but rather it was an integrated country that prayed, worshiped, traded, and had mosques, churches, etc. Because of what Britain did, a large part of Palestine was taken, and because of it, I, as a Palestinian, cannot go to Jerusalem. Even, they control water, food, electricity, money, and our economy, even though we were the ones who took them and sheltered them in our country when they came as immigrants. They tortured our prisoners and arrested them often for no reason. They destroyed our homes and did not allow us to build without their permission. They created colonies and settlements for themselves (inside our country) as they pleased. What saddens me most is that the media distorts our reputation and shows us as if we are the bad side.
I am also palestinian and cant even visit my own country because i have no american or israeli passport… all of my ancestors come from jaffa and nablus and im not allowed to go there, yet a random fat american can go and visit my very family house which generations have lived in and has now been occupied.
@@QusaiAgha bro, imagine that in the past a law was issued that any Jew could enter Palestine because of what the Romans did in 70 AD! Imagine! A Jewish person never entered Palestine, his grandfather and his great-grandfather did not enter Palestine and it is not their land. They can enter as they wish without any problem, but the 750,000 Palestinians who were expelled from their homes were refused entry and allowed the return of only Christians, not Muslims, but the Christians refused. What happened before Hamas existed in the first place was even more horrific! Look for the Tantura incident, where hundreds of Palestinians were killed in the village of Tantura. Any male over 13 years old was brought in and they were all executed! And they say we are terrorists! They betrayed Britain after it was the reason for the establishment of their state, and they caused By expelling them, killing them, and terrorizing them No one can change history, my brother. They established the Nakba Law, whereby any journalist who speaks about the Nakba, you have the right to boycott him and cut off his livelihood legally.
No actually it was an Austrian by name of Theodor Herzl ( died 1904) who organised and set up the Jewish state in Palestine . Nothing to do with the British . They didn’t enter the picture until post WW2 and actually failed in the attempt to block a fully autonomous Jewish state and many Brits died in the attempt to stop that outcome . Interesting how nobody reads up history anymore .

This reminds me of the war we had in former Yugoslavia. Before the war, religion was never a reason for violence. My family was Ortodox Christian and when it was Christmas our friends from Bosnia would come round our house to party and when it was Ramadan we would do the same at theirs. The violence only happens when the ones in power are corrupt enough to put paranoia into people below them.

Вы не знаете историю Христианства. Орден тамплиеров (хамовники) устраивали крестовые походы. После одного их таких походов норманы (франки -- объединение германских племен) в битве при Гастингсе захватили англичан, поделили англию на две части: в одной было норманское королевство под английской короной, в другой половине норманы поставили большой собор. Англичан они угнетали. Потом древнее Христианство раскололось на Православие и Католичество. Почти вся Европа принадлежала Римской Империи, а после нее - Империи Габсбургов. В XVII веке в Европе было Католичество, которое запрещает развод. Королю Англии -- Альфонсу II не повезло, у него в браке не было детей и он пожелал развестись. Католические священники ему не разрешали. Тогда он создал другой вид католичества -- протестанство, перешел в него и развелся. А потом он начал вести войны с католиками -- война за власть на религиозной почве. Так вот с 1618 по 1648 Европа утопала в крови из-за развязанных Габсбургами войн между протестантами и католиками. Население Европы за 30 лет сократилось на 70% по той причине, что войска габсбургов убивали и грабили население.

Nah, the place wasn't peaceful. Conflicts between Jews, Muslims and christians. Example : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1834_looting_of_Safed Anti-semitism was rampant, and understand this - Jews lived in that place for a very long time, much longer than all the rest. The rest of the Jews, simply returned. Muslims came through war, and through war they lost it. Jews came to the land by a single guy called Abraham that walked there a few thousand years back.

My grandfather, then a young boy, picked olives with the arabs in exchange for lots of olive oil. Oakland CA

I just realized, TH-cam suddenly recommended me a 14 year old video showing footage from more than a century ago of people living their everyday life in peace & harmony... This is a living piece of history right here
The sound is not from over 100 years ago. Only the footage is from that long ago. Footage back then could not capture sound along with it. This video is part of a documentary made in 1993 and the sound was added then.
@@monkeygameplay5455 Yes, video with sound didn’t exist until the mid to late 1920s. The first full length movie with sound was called “The Jazz Singer” and it came out in 1927, but even before that, no short pieces of film with sound existed before the mid-late 1920s. As soon as film studios saw that it existed they rushed to include sound in their films, and it put a lot of famous actors out of work, because their voices didn’t match the way their onscreen personas. There were only a few famous actors who managed to make the switch from silent film to “talkies” (as film with sound was known back then). For awhile both sound and silent films appeared in cinema, and this includes documentaries too, but audiences preferred to see film with sound…so since that’s what was making money, silent films went out of business and any actors, directors, writers, or filmographers who couldn’t make the transition lost their job to new stars who fit the new style of film better. Also, actors in silent films tended to have more exaggerated facial expressions and body movements, since they weren’t using their voices to convey emotions. It was a completely different style of acting. Even if their voice did match their persona, some actors simply couldn’t transition to the more “realistic” acting style that was in vogue with sound film (though lots of acting back then still seems very exaggerated to us these days, it was revolutionary at the time). Back when silent films played in cinemas, every theatre in every cinema had a piano, and a pianist. The studios would send out specific sheet music to be played with every movie, documentary, news reel, and even advert that you watched. So I guess if your theatre had a bad pianist - one who was a bit off key or had bad timing - you were straight out of luck! Movies, documentaries, ads, etc. back then would also occasionally have title cards show up on the screen that would briefly tell you what the characters were saying to one another, or tell you what was happening in the documentary. So, for example, if it was a documentary on the Ottoman Empire (I’m just giving an example, not referring to any specific film), the screen would show what we just watched, and a black title card would show up with an intricate border around it, and in flowery lettering say “The people of the Ottoman Empire are a diverse group of people - Muslims, Christians, and Jews all worship and live alongside one another.” And then the title card would cut and you would once again see whatever images the documentary was showing you. And all this time, you would have a pianist playing in the corner of the cinema with a specific piece of music that is meant to go with that specific documentary. So if a train crashes, the piano thuds. If a train is passing by a beautiful countryside, you hear beautiful, happy music. If something scary is about to happen, all of a sudden you hear the music begin to be played in a minor key. You get the idea. This also makes me wonder if pianists ever mixed up the music for two films and people came away thinking that the films were bad because of it! I’m sure it had to have happened at least once. Also, it’s worth noting that, just like a lot of “documentaries” today, some documentaries back then were eventually ousted for completely fabricating what they purported to show, spreading misinformation, misleading the public, acting in unethical ways, etc.

Well drawing borders itself will always be problematic when you are seperating people. Everyone has different justifiable claims to lands and it's hard to weigh which claims are proper.

Fake news. The name of the province of the Ottoman Empire where Israel is located today was called "Greater Syria", a province that covered the current territories of Israel, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
I am an Arab from Iraq, and we have many, many maps that were drawn a century ago proving that this land belongs to Palestine, and as an Iraqi, my country has been destroyed and occupied for more than five centuries, so I know how bad this is and how it will have a negative impact. As Iraqis, even though this ended almost four years ago, our country is still... Devastated, our schools do not provide the necessary books or teachers, and the streets become rivers after any very light rain. Even if it lasts for only fifteen minutes, the street becomes like a puddle.

Is Israel saying Palestinians have never been in the land? I don't think so. Bible stories show the two of them living there. But has Israel gained more land mass? Yes. How? Through war. 6 day war.... Israel even gained the Sinai, but Egypt begged and signed peace agreement to reclaim it. What people call 'occupation' is a loser's slogan.

Nonsense. In 1921 Arabs slaughtered jews, in 1929 Arabs slaughtered jews, in 1936 Arabs slaughtered jews. Jews never slaughtered Arabs. The word palestina have no conction to the Arabs, before israel establishment they called themselves Arabs no palestinian. They considered themselves as Syrian Arabs. All the area that today is syria jordan and israel was without borders and called syria palestina. Most of the area where Israel before 1967 was desert and Empty, in the west bank were Arabs that lived there generations, not in the area of Israel before 1967. Only in Jerusalem the jewish were majority. Jews stteled or in places that no body can live there on in places that they both from landowners with full many. Before the Arabs started war against the new jewish state no single Arabs was deported. That mean that if the Arabs don't start war no Arabs deported. The jews lived in very difficult conditions dried swamps and suffered from disease like malria. After that Arabs started to arrived there.

@@delano4526 It doesn't... Just like how Jews lived in Jerusalem just fine before the arrival of zionists, it shall go back that way. Jews will have two options. Either go back to the country of their dual citizenship, or fully forfeit that second citizenship.

That train linked Mecca and Medina to Turkey and Europe. Lawrence of Arabia’s mission was to destroy it. Another train was coming from Iraq with a nice plan which got destroyed. Now 100 years later, Netanyahu wants to build a train from Saudi to Europe and calls his plan “A New Middle East” :). We liked the old one more. We want the old peaceful Middle East back. Create a problem, then offer the solution. What a strategy.
This was when all three religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity. All these churches, synagogues, mosques were a few miles from each other, but they prayed together without any conflict.
Wrong. There was conflict. From that very year until 1947, thousands of Jewish homes and villages were destroyed by the Sunnis. Jews didn't fight back until 1948. Submission is not the same as lack of conflict.
My grandmother is 91 today and she remembers her father who was born in 1888 in Ireland she told me a story once about when they first got a tv her father being very handy immediately took the entire thing apart just to see how it worked and then put it back together again she grew up in Roxbury Massachusetts lived through the depression and both her mother and father came over seas from Ireland
They didn't live together in peace. Christians and Jews were treated as second-class citizens under Ottoman rule and massacres against Jewish people in particular were very frequent

Lonewolf6565 no, the massive immigration of jews in the 20s and 30s before the war that caused the problems, otherwise most of the problem was between each sect or with jews, the vaals. there's a book at archive dot org by an ambassador The Memiors of Sir Ronald Storres. in the book he doesn't cite big historical events - like the exposure of the secret sykes picot treaty, he says out allies revealed them when it was actually Trotsky. He was the governor so he goes into detail about the problems he had managing the population. Between the separate groups, was actually the Greek Orthodox church and Armenian Church who did most of the fighting, next was the between the zionists and the orthodox jews. The zionists killedJacob Israel de Haan, the chosen representative of the anti-zionists jews. It was the first political murder. They didn't want all of the administrative functions handed over to the zionists, they wanted them left with the waqf. So there are a lot of lies.

So 85% muslim population, yet no wars on minority religious groups, no conflicts, living together in peace and free to practice their religious beliefs.
But Jewish population in Jerusalem city amounted for nearly 50% of the population. As in Europe, jews were heavily urbanised in Jerusalem, Jaffa (today Tel Aviv), Gaza, etc. Christians were mostly around Belem and in CisJordan (West Bank). Muslims were mostly in rural areas, but of course also in cities.
What are you talking about? That's the Ottoman Empire it was birthed from war, from the invasion of Greek lands in Constantinople, the occupation of the eastern roman Empire, the slavery of Christians, and the subjugation of natives in the Levant. Go read a real history book not your fairy tales.
I always love seeing old videos and this especially makes me happy. I am so sorry for what Israel is doing and I’m so sorry my country is helping them.
@@Doge963 This text says nothing about Jews. Why would I blame an ethnic group and religion, for the actions are nation state. I believe not every person Israel believes that what is happening is correct, hell, even people who are Zionist I don’t fully blame for the actions of what Israel’s currently doing right now. It’s very clear that it’s the most extremist of extremist that are agreeing what’s currently happening fully in Israel not just in Palestine, but in the Westbank, in the way they have treated hostages, and well now personally, I’m not a Zionist and do not believe a country should be based off religion I believe in a separation of religion and state(for all religion not just Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or Hinduism). What about this? Does this say I blame Jews for what’s happening in Israel? No, I blame Israel and my country for supporting it. Jew are not Israel, of course, many are native to that land. A lot of them live in Palestine in the west banks as they were kicked out of their homes. But the fact is not just one religion will ever occupy one country even in places like Iran that is a dictatorship of religious law is not solely Muslim. There are people all across it that are not the same Muslim or Muslims. This is the problem with basing, a countries, Lars and actions upon a single religion instead of either a blanket for every religion, or a separation of it. But not like France I don’t like France no one likes France fuck the frog. I’m racist and I’m racist against English “people” and Parisians.
@@Doge963 My apologies for getting into your comment late! I do not blame people just because they’re Jewish for the actions of Israel, blaming somebody for their ethnicity or religion, is not something I agree with at all. I do not subscribe to the idea of zionism, I believe we can create would were Jewish people can be safe. We must tackle antisemitism everywhere we see it, just like any other type of hate. This might come to a shop to you, but I’m not a fan of Hamas even though I’m pro Palestine. I believe what they did on October 7 was a crime against humanity, killing civilians, innocent children, and babies, and taking hostages to use them as bargaining chips is not something I believe in. But these actions were not an excuse for Israel to level an entire city, I am going off the top of my head since it’s very early in the morning for me, but from my recollection, over 70% of the housing, and Gaza has been destroyed, to me this only seems like Israel’s demolition of Gaza to to make it easier for their expansion into Gaza(not the military operations I need just legitimately building resorts and other such things on the Gazza strip. I am critical of any religious extremism, coming from a legitimate cult I can understand the destruction they can cause this is why I oppose both Zionism and Islamic extremism. I believe in the separation of religion and state alongside the idea of a soul mono ethnic state that only allows one ethnicity. Well I might criticize people who are Jewish this is not because they are Jewish but because of the hate they are spreading. This might come to a surprise to you, but I don’t even believe in kicking out every Israeli from Israel, I think that would be a mass exodus and as an Acadian let’s just say I’m not a big fan of mass Exodus(also, I’ve only believe in this context it would feed into the Zionist persecution complex, no comparative to Christian you do have a bit more excuse, but it is an excuse, and still not a good enough excuse to commit picnic displacement, and what essentially a genocide). The best plan I have seen for this whole situation is a two state solution on the 1945 borders with a slow integration over decades and into one state since neither Israelis or Palestinians want a one state solution right now. I believe into the right of return for Palestinians. I’m also incredibly upset as a historian on the actions of Israel bombing religious places of extreme historic importance to basically every Abraham religion in the area. again, to end this off the active on October 7 is not an excuse to block humanitarian aid to a place, holding medical supplies, water, and basic food over peoples heads, pretend to be terrorist and go into hospitals, bomb a refugee camp that Israel itself said was a safe place to go, alongside many other crimes, committed by Israel. Again, I don’t blame Jewish people for the actions of Israel, that to me would be insane. The prop Palestinian people that do have fell for the trap that Zionism has laid out the idea that the Jewish ethnicity and religion must be tied to Israel, and cannot anywhere else, for it may not be safe, but I believe we can create a world that is safe for every everyone
As a Christian Armenian when I saw the Armenian pope and the sound of our church bells I immediately started crying because I realised how warm and welcoming Palestinian people are and have always been, just look at this pope in Palestine in 1896, it's just incredible how sweet Palestinian people are.

@@sh6795 I'm certain his recollections are far superior to someone who has never been there. Mark Twain's report from Palestine in 1867 showing how uninhabited the barren land was, plus the absolute poverty of the few people that did live there. “Of all the lands there are for dismal scenery, I think Palestine must be the prince. The hills are barren, they are dull of color, they are unpicturesque in shape. The valleys are unsightly deserts fringed with a feeble vegetation that has an expression about it of being sorrowful and despondent. The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee sleep in the midst of a vast stretch of hill and plain wherein the eye rests upon no pleasant tint, no striking object, no soft picture dreaming in a purple haze or mottled with the shadows of the clouds. Every outline is harsh, every feature is distinct, there is no perspective - distance works no enchantment here. It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land. Small shreds and patches of it must be very beautiful in the full flush of spring, however, and all the more beautiful by contrast with the far-reaching desolation that surrounds them on every side. I would like much to see the fringes of the Jordan in spring-time, and Shechem, Esdraelon, Ajalon and the borders of Galilee - but even then these spots would seem mere toy gardens set at wide intervals in the waste of a limitless desolation. Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. Where Sodom and Gomorrah reared their domes and towers, that solemn sea now floods the plain, in whose bitter waters no living thing exists - over whose waveless surface the blistering air hangs motionless and dead - about whose borders nothing grows but weeds, and scattering tufts of cane, and that treacherous fruit that promises refreshment to parching lips, but turns to ashes at the touch. Nazareth is forlorn; about that ford of Jordan where the hosts of Israel entered the Promised Land with songs of rejoicing, one finds only a squalid camp of fantastic Bedouins of the desert; Jericho the accursed, lies a moldering ruin, to-day, even as Joshua’s miracle left it more than three thousand years ago; Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and their humiliation, have nothing about them now to remind one that they once knew the high honor of the Saviour’s presence; the hallowed spot where the shepherds watched their flocks by night, and where the angels sang Peace on earth, good will to men, is untenanted by any living creature, and unblessed by any feature that is pleasant to the eye. Renowned Jerusalem itself, the stateliest name in history, has lost all its ancient grandeur, and is become a pauper village; the riches of Solomon are no longer there to compel the admiration of visiting Oriental queens; the wonderful temple which was the pride and the glory of Israel, is gone, and the Ottoman crescent is lifted above the spot where, on that most memorable day in the annals of the world, they reared the Holy Cross. The noted Sea of Galilee, where Roman fleets once rode at anchor and the disciples of the Saviour sailed in their ships, was long ago deserted by the devotees of war and commerce, and its borders are a silent wilderness; Capernaum is a shapeless ruin; Magdala is the home of beggared Arabs; Bethsaida and Chorazin have vanished from the earth, and the “desert places” round about them where thousands of men once listened to the Saviour’s voice and ate the miraculous bread, sleep in the hush of a solitude that is inhabited only by birds of prey and skulking foxes. Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land? Palestine is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and tradition - it is dream-land." ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/t/twain/mark/innocents/chapter56.html
@@jrhirsch1 And yet .... this 'desolate' land had a thriving export business, predominantly but not exclusively in oilves and oranges, fully-functioning cities, a wonderful culinery culture, and so on... Moreover, in sections other than the one quoted Mark Twain describes places of incredible beauty. (And other writers back up the latter statements.) Finally, how do you think most of America woud be described in those days? But in reality, none of this has any bearing on the state of Ersatz Israel today.

And they dare to say it was a land with no people
Yes, there was no distinct group of people claiming this specific part of the land. All the tribes that are living on the area are sparsely populated between besides a few small cities, and there is no distinction from them and Arabs in Damascus.
All the Arabs of the levant were living under the Ottoman empire, So if Jews ended up making a country in modern day Israel, While the Arabs got modern day Jordan, Lebanon And Syria as a country (Under the former territory Syria-Paelestina) it would make total sense as these Arabs were considered together as a single group of tribes. The problem is when the British and the French ended up splitting the land into colonies, Causing them later to all have national movements of their own.
Despite all that the UN proposal for the Jewish state was only for around half of modern day Israel, West bank and Gaza, Despite the immigration that was happening due to Jewish Persecution from Europe and the Arab world making the 1948 population grow to being 33% Jews, And despite the fact that the Arabs on the proposed state were still not a "People" as the Palestinian national movement (Or the identification as a separate group of people) only formed in 1968 or so unlike all the other nearby colonies or the Jews which not even regarding their separate ethnicity and religion had their Zionist movement and the quest to have a state for the Jews form in the late 1800's leading them to support the British in both world wars in exchange for support in creating a state..
Free the Ottoman Empire.
Over half the land allotted to the Jews at Partition was the Negev desert, containing just 110,000 NOMADIC Bedouins.

As a Palestinian, I am happy to see many positive and informed comments, as they do not think that our country was fanatical and inhuman, but rather it was an integrated country that prayed, worshiped, traded, and had mosques, churches, etc. Because of what Britain did, a large part of Palestine was taken, and because of it, I, as a Palestinian, cannot go to Jerusalem. Even, they control water, food, electricity, money, and our economy, even though we were the ones who took them and sheltered them in our country when they came as immigrants. They tortured our prisoners and arrested them often for no reason. They destroyed our homes and did not allow us to build without their permission. They created colonies and settlements for themselves (inside our country) as they pleased. What saddens me most is that the media distorts our reputation and shows us as if we are the bad side.

Вы не знаете историю Христианства. Орден тамплиеров (хамовники) устраивали крестовые походы. После одного их таких походов норманы (франки -- объединение германских племен) в битве при Гастингсе захватили англичан, поделили англию на две части: в одной было норманское королевство под английской короной, в другой половине норманы поставили большой собор. Англичан они угнетали.
Потом древнее Христианство раскололось на Православие и Католичество. Почти вся Европа принадлежала Римской Империи, а после нее - Империи Габсбургов.
В XVII веке в Европе было Католичество, которое запрещает развод. Королю Англии -- Альфонсу II не повезло, у него в браке не было детей и он пожелал развестись. Католические священники ему не разрешали. Тогда он создал другой вид католичества -- протестанство, перешел в него и развелся.
А потом он начал вести войны с католиками -- война за власть на религиозной почве.
Так вот с 1618 по 1648 Европа утопала в крови из-за развязанных Габсбургами войн между протестантами и католиками. Население Европы за 30 лет сократилось на 70% по той причине, что войска габсбургов убивали и грабили население.

b. God slowly tortured Muhammad and crushed his organs years, in which he end up in painful death..

That land is a Jewish Land before the rom and ottoman islam conquered it.. Even the Al Aqsa mosque is built on top of the Jewish Solomon temple in Jerusalem.. The Israel and Arabs are in the midst of agreement when this evil Hamas ruin it in the name of Allah Islam the deceiver.. Talk about Palestine citizen, yes we are hoping the best for the innocents especially children.. But compare to what Ottoman Islam has done previously, is 100x tragic.. The Ottoman Islam kick out the assyrians from their land, force them to convert to islam and kill them.. The ottoman islam has killed estimately around 300,000 assyrians innocent’s life.. The same ottoman islam also has kill around 1.2 Millions people of Armenian without mercy.. Thats massacre @ genocide.. So dont even think for a second, that you muslims come and talk like you are the victim.. October 7th, 2023 is the day that your hamas and people murdered, kidnapped nad dance on the corpses.. I even uploaded the UNCENSORED of that tragic day in my channel.. You reap what you sow.. Thats what Muhammad did during his time, he has done a massacre to people especially towards the Jewish people.. Do you know what happen to Muhammad in a tragic incident? Here you go SAHIH..
There is a Jews woman name Zaynab bint Al-Harith whom her family has been murdered by Muhammad.. So it happens that this woman put poison in which Muhammad ate it..
a. Hadith SAHIH -
Mamad : Allah will not allows you to kill me..
*The apostle of Allah sent for Zaynab and said to her, "What induced you to do what you have done?" She replied, "You have done to my people what you have done. You have killed my father, my uncle and my husband, so I said to myself, "If you are a prophet, the foreleg will inform you; and others have said, "If you are a king we will get rid of you." - Ibn Sa'd p. 252w
*...He came out with the help of two men and his legs were dragging on the ground. He was between Al-Abbas and another man [Ali Ibn Abi Talib].".... - Sahih Bukhari 1:11:634
b. God slowly tortured Muhammad and crushed his organs years, in which he end up in painful death..
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ) in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O `Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my AORTA is being cut from that poison." - Sahih al-Bukhari 4428

When Muslims are the ones ruling, everyone lives in peace. In that era, the Ottoman Empire was ruling Palestine, and there was no entity or state for the mythical Jews.
Recorded in 1896, uploaded to TH-cam in 2009, and watched by maybe 90% of viewers in 2024 that's just insane.
This video shows how three religions are living together in peace. without any hate. Without apartheid walls... and shows that Palestine was never a land without people.

It wasn’t free back then .. neither during Ottoman Empire.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the TRUE AND REAL Ottoman Empire! As you can see, under the Ottoman rule, every people from different religions and races lived in peace at that era. After the Ottoman Empire lost it's territories in Middle East and eventually collapsed, there's nothing left but wars, conflicts and territorial disputes in this region. This is why as a Turkish people, we miss our ancestors so much, same goes for Arabs too.
All stolen Christian lands from the Byzantines, but better than the state of Israel for surr
@@VI-ck2eo not stolen. People converted to Islam on their own will. Tens of thousands of Americans converted to Islam every year. Very soon majority of Americans will be Muslim.
That’s not colonization. There is no forced conversions in Islam.
Nah, the place wasn't peaceful.
Conflicts between Jews, Muslims and christians.
Example :
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1834_looting_of_Safed
Anti-semitism was rampant, and understand this -
Jews lived in that place for a very long time, much longer than all the rest.
The rest of the Jews, simply returned.
Muslims came through war, and through war they lost it.
Jews came to the land by a single guy called Abraham that walked there a few thousand years back.
The Zionist movement, just came back home.
The Ottoman Empire was full of "wars, conflicts and territorial disputes" as well. Not to mention outright GENOCIDES. Read some actual history for a change.
Trust me, none of the people you brutalised and enslaved misses you or your ancestors.
Yeah until the people in rule went to study in Paris and London and come back with nothing but racism and hate, treating non Turkish as 2nd level human and wanted to make the Quran in Turkish and forbid the Arabic language in schools and official buildings
My family lived in Jerusalem/Jaffa for over 150years. They emigrated to the US in around 1905 for economic reasons. They had no animosity toward the
many people from everywhere they daily interacted with. Many Arabs. The everyday language was Arabic. My family also spoke French and Yiddish. My grandfather, then a young boy, picked olives with the arabs in exchange for lots of olive oil. Oakland CA
Fremont, CA. Muslim, Arab, specifically from Iraq. Immigrated to escape war. No animosity towards any Jews, Christians, Yazidis, Sabeans, or anyone. I hold negative views towards zionism, but that does not equate to Judaism. God, Peace & Love :)
The time when last Caliph of Islam and Ottoman Sultan to have *real* power, ruled over the region: his name is Sultan Caliph ‘Abd-ul-Ḥamīd II (RḤ), whose reign lasted from 1875-1908.
Your family could live 3-4 years more in peace.

I just realized, TH-cam suddenly recommended me a 14 year old video showing footage from more than a century ago of people living their everyday life in peace & harmony... This is a living piece of history right here
Listening to an Azan from over 100 years ago sound so majestic and soothing.
The sound is not from over 100 years ago. Only the footage is from that long ago. Footage back then could not capture sound along with it.
This video is part of a documentary made in 1993 and the sound was added then.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832oh so the audio was created to fit the video interesting
@@monkeygameplay5455 Yes, video with sound didn’t exist until the mid to late 1920s.
The first full length movie with sound was called “The Jazz Singer” and it came out in 1927, but even before that, no short pieces of film with sound existed before the mid-late 1920s. As soon as film studios saw that it existed they rushed to include sound in their films, and it put a lot of famous actors out of work, because their voices didn’t match the way their onscreen personas. There were only a few famous actors who managed to make the switch from silent film to “talkies” (as film with sound was known back then). For awhile both sound and silent films appeared in cinema, and this includes documentaries too, but audiences preferred to see film with sound…so since that’s what was making money, silent films went out of business and any actors, directors, writers, or filmographers who couldn’t make the transition lost their job to new stars who fit the new style of film better.
Also, actors in silent films tended to have more exaggerated facial expressions and body movements, since they weren’t using their voices to convey emotions. It was a completely different style of acting. Even if their voice did match their persona, some actors simply couldn’t transition to the more “realistic” acting style that was in vogue with sound film (though lots of acting back then still seems very exaggerated to us these days, it was revolutionary at the time).
Back when silent films played in cinemas, every theatre in every cinema had a piano, and a pianist. The studios would send out specific sheet music to be played with every movie, documentary, news reel, and even advert that you watched. So I guess if your theatre had a bad pianist - one who was a bit off key or had bad timing - you were straight out of luck! Movies, documentaries, ads, etc. back then would also occasionally have title cards show up on the screen that would briefly tell you what the characters were saying to one another, or tell you what was happening in the documentary. So, for example, if it was a documentary on the Ottoman Empire (I’m just giving an example, not referring to any specific film), the screen would show what we just watched, and a black title card would show up with an intricate border around it, and in flowery lettering say “The people of the Ottoman Empire are a diverse group of people - Muslims, Christians, and Jews all worship and live alongside one another.” And then the title card would cut and you would once again see whatever images the documentary was showing you. And all this time, you would have a pianist playing in the corner of the cinema with a specific piece of music that is meant to go with that specific documentary. So if a train crashes, the piano thuds. If a train is passing by a beautiful countryside, you hear beautiful, happy music. If something scary is about to happen, all of a sudden you hear the music begin to be played in a minor key. You get the idea.
This also makes me wonder if pianists ever mixed up the music for two films and people came away thinking that the films were bad because of it! I’m sure it had to have happened at least once.
Also, it’s worth noting that, just like a lot of “documentaries” today, some documentaries back then were eventually ousted for completely fabricating what they purported to show, spreading misinformation, misleading the public, acting in unethical ways, etc.

Nonsense. In 1921 Arabs slaughtered jews, in 1929 Arabs slaughtered jews, in 1936 Arabs slaughtered jews. Jews never slaughtered Arabs. The word palestina have no conction to the Arabs, before israel establishment they called themselves Arabs no palestinian. They considered themselves as Syrian Arabs. All the area that today is syria jordan and israel was without borders and called syria palestina. Most of the area where Israel before 1967 was desert and Empty, in the west bank were Arabs that lived there generations, not in the area of Israel before 1967. Only in Jerusalem the jewish were majority. Jews stteled or in places that no body can live there on in places that they both from landowners with full many. Before the Arabs started war against the new jewish state no single Arabs was deported. That mean that if the Arabs don't start war no Arabs deported. The jews lived in very difficult conditions dried swamps and suffered from disease like malria. After that Arabs started to arrived there. If not the jews most of the area of Israel before 1967 were until now desert without people. See poto from the beginning of the 19th century

Either go back to the country of their dual citizenship, or fully forfeit that second citizenship. Jews will make an integral part of society, and there may or may not be some level of segregation (as it always happens naturally, but never intentionally), Muslims, Christians, and Jews can roam around wherever they want inside Palestine.

That train linked Mecca and Medina to Turkey and Europe.
Lawrence of Arabia’s mission was to destroy it. Another train was coming from Iraq with a nice plan which got destroyed.
Now 100 years later, Netanyahu wants to build a train from Saudi to Europe and calls his plan “A New Middle East” :).
We liked the old one more.
We want the old peaceful Middle East back.
Create a problem, then offer the solution. What a strategy.
This was when all three religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity. All these churches, synagogues, mosques were a few miles from each other, but they prayed together without any conflict.
exactly living together
This is Neverland, man!
Until the British and USA gave Palestine to the Zionist and all hell broke loose. Peace gone.
The Holy Land when it was holy before the Zionists washed it with the blood of innocents, out of greed for land and resources.
Wrong. There was conflict. From that very year until 1947, thousands of Jewish homes and villages were destroyed by the Sunnis. Jews didn't fight back until 1948. Submission is not the same as lack of conflict.
The truth is always available to those that seek it.
Everyone living in peace until the european colonizers decided to take something that isn't theirs.
My grandmother is 91 today and she remembers her father who was born in 1888 in Ireland she told me a story once about when they first got a tv her father being very handy immediately took the entire thing apart just to see how it worked and then put it back together again she grew up in Roxbury Massachusetts lived through the depression and both her mother and father came over seas from Ireland
"Long ago, the *Three Religions* lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the *Zionists* attacked."
How the different religions lived together in peace, so beautiful!
You can thank the Ottoman Turks for that.
They didn't live together in peace. Christians and Jews were treated as second-class citizens under Ottoman rule and massacres against Jewish people in particular were very frequent

Lonewolf6565 p.s ottoman empire was Muslim empire ;)
Lonewolf6565 no, the massive immigration of jews in the 20s and 30s before the war that caused the problems, otherwise most of the problem was between each sect or with jews, the vaals. there's a book at archive dot org by an ambassador The Memiors of Sir Ronald Storres. in the book he doesn't cite big historical events - like the exposure of the secret sykes picot treaty, he says out allies revealed them when it was actually Trotsky. He was the governor so he goes into detail about the problems he had managing the population. Between the separate groups, was actually the Greek Orthodox church and Armenian Church who did most of the fighting, next was the between the zionists and the orthodox jews. The zionists killedJacob Israel de Haan, the chosen representative of the anti-zionists jews. It was the first political murder. They didn't want all of the administrative functions handed over to the zionists, they wanted them left with the waqf. So there are a lot of lies.
A beautiful and peaceful country which is now suffering.

Incorrect.
@@Kopite96 why ??
So 85% muslim population, yet no wars on minority religious groups, no conflicts, living together in peace and free to practice their religious beliefs.
But Jewish population in Jerusalem city amounted for nearly 50% of the population.
As in Europe, jews were heavily urbanised in Jerusalem, Jaffa (today Tel Aviv), Gaza, etc.
Christians were mostly around Belem and in CisJordan (West Bank).
Muslims were mostly in rural areas, but of course also in cities.
zionism didn't exist then as it is now.
What are you talking about? That's the Ottoman Empire it was birthed from war, from the invasion of Greek lands in Constantinople, the occupation of the eastern roman Empire, the slavery of Christians, and the subjugation of natives in the Levant. Go read a real history book not your fairy tales.

I always love seeing old videos and this especially makes me happy. I am so sorry for what Israel is doing and I’m so sorry my country is helping them.
Its actually zionist jews not orthodox jews
So dont blame the orthodox jews
@@Doge963 This text says nothing about Jews. Why would I blame an ethnic group and religion, for the actions are nation state. I believe not every person Israel believes that what is happening is correct, hell, even people who are Zionist I don’t fully blame for the actions of what Israel’s currently doing right now. It’s very clear that it’s the most extremist of extremist that are agreeing what’s currently happening fully in Israel not just in Palestine, but in the Westbank, in the way they have treated hostages, and well now personally, I’m not a Zionist and do not believe a country should be based off religion I believe in a separation of religion and state(for all religion not just Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or Hinduism). What about this? Does this say I blame Jews for what’s happening in Israel? No, I blame Israel and my country for supporting it. Jew are not Israel, of course, many are native to that land. A lot of them live in Palestine in the west banks as they were kicked out of their homes. But the fact is not just one religion will ever occupy one country even in places like Iran that is a dictatorship of religious law is not solely Muslim. There are people all across it that are not the same Muslim or Muslims. This is the problem with basing, a countries, Lars and actions upon a single religion instead of either a blanket for every religion, or a separation of it. But not like France I don’t like France no one likes France fuck the frog. I’m racist and I’m racist against English “people” and Parisians.
@@Doge963 My apologies for getting into your comment late! I do not blame people just because they’re Jewish for the actions of Israel, blaming somebody for their ethnicity or religion, is not something I agree with at all. I do not subscribe to the idea of zionism, I believe we can create would were Jewish people can be safe. We must tackle antisemitism everywhere we see it, just like any other type of hate. This might come to a shop to you, but I’m not a fan of Hamas even though I’m pro Palestine. I believe what they did on October 7 was a crime against humanity, killing civilians, innocent children, and babies, and taking hostages to use them as bargaining chips is not something I believe in. But these actions were not an excuse for Israel to level an entire city, I am going off the top of my head since it’s very early in the morning for me, but from my recollection, over 70% of the housing, and Gaza has been destroyed, to me this only seems like Israel’s demolition of Gaza to to make it easier for their expansion into Gaza(not the military operations I need just legitimately building resorts and other such things on the Gazza strip. I am critical of any religious extremism, coming from a legitimate cult I can understand the destruction they can cause this is why I oppose both Zionism and Islamic extremism. I believe in the separation of religion and state alongside the idea of a soul mono ethnic state that only allows one ethnicity. Well I might criticize people who are Jewish this is not because they are Jewish but because of the hate they are spreading. This might come to a surprise to you, but I don’t even believe in kicking out every Israeli from Israel, I think that would be a mass exodus and as an Acadian let’s just say I’m not a big fan of mass Exodus(also, I’ve only believe in this context it would feed into the Zionist persecution complex, no comparative to Christian you do have a bit more excuse, but it is an excuse, and still not a good enough excuse to commit picnic displacement, and what essentially a genocide). The best plan I have seen for this whole situation is a two state solution on the 1945 borders with a slow integration over decades and into one state since neither Israelis or Palestinians want a one state solution right now. I believe into the right of return for Palestinians. I’m also incredibly upset as a historian on the actions of Israel bombing religious places of extreme historic importance to basically every Abraham religion in the area. again, to end this off the active on October 7 is not an excuse to block humanitarian aid to a place, holding medical supplies, water, and basic food over peoples heads, pretend to be terrorist and go into hospitals, bomb a refugee camp that Israel itself said was a safe place to go, alongside many other crimes, committed by Israel. Again, I don’t blame Jewish people for the actions of Israel, that to me would be insane. The prop Palestinian people that do have fell for the trap that Zionism has laid out the idea that the Jewish ethnicity and religion must be tied to Israel, and cannot anywhere else, for it may not be safe, but I believe we can create a world that is safe for every everyone
@@Doge963 I don’t! Nor do I blame any other sect of Judaism for the action of Israel, it would go against my morals that I have.

I will always stand with Palestinian people, I shake and cry every time I see innocent Palestinian children, women, men suffering, I can't eat or sleep because of the genocide that's happening right now, I keep on logging into Twitter just to see more suffering and more dead bodies of Palestinian people, entire generations are being wiped out from the face of this planet😭😭😭...Innocent Palestinian people are dying while the world leaders only think about the money, I swear we are living in demonic times. I pray to God to save Palestine and Palestinian people from this hell. Free, free Palestine, how much can these sweet people take????😭🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

@@sh6795 I'm certain his recollections are far superior to someone who has never been there.
Mark Twain's report from Palestine in 1867 showing how uninhabited the barren land was, plus the absolute poverty of the few people that did live there.
“Of all the lands there are for dismal scenery, I think Palestine must be the prince. The hills are barren, they are dull of color, they are unpicturesque in shape. The valleys are unsightly deserts fringed with a feeble vegetation that has an expression about it of being sorrowful and despondent. The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee sleep in the midst of a vast stretch of hill and plain wherein the eye rests upon no pleasant tint, no striking object, no soft picture dreaming in a purple haze or mottled with the shadows of the clouds. Every outline is harsh, every feature is distinct, there is no perspective - distance works no enchantment here. It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land.
Small shreds and patches of it must be very beautiful in the full flush of spring, however, and all the more beautiful by contrast with the far-reaching desolation that surrounds them on every side. I would like much to see the fringes of the Jordan in spring-time, and Shechem, Esdraelon, Ajalon and the borders of Galilee - but even then these spots would seem mere toy gardens set at wide intervals in the waste of a limitless desolation.
Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. Where Sodom and Gomorrah reared their domes and towers, that solemn sea now floods the plain, in whose bitter waters no living thing exists - over whose waveless surface the blistering air hangs motionless and dead - about whose borders nothing grows but weeds, and scattering tufts of cane, and that treacherous fruit that promises refreshment to parching lips, but turns to ashes at the touch. Nazareth is forlorn; about that ford of Jordan where the hosts of Israel entered the Promised Land with songs of rejoicing, one finds only a squalid camp of fantastic Bedouins of the desert; Jericho the accursed, lies a moldering ruin, to-day, even as Joshua’s miracle left it more than three thousand years ago; Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and their humiliation, have nothing about them now to remind one that they once knew the high honor of the Saviour’s presence; the hallowed spot where the shepherds watched their flocks by night, and where the angels sang Peace on earth, good will to men, is untenanted by any living creature, and unblessed by any feature that is pleasant to the eye. Renowned Jerusalem itself, the stateliest name in history, has lost all its ancient grandeur, and is become a pauper village; the riches of Solomon are no longer there to compel the admiration of visiting Oriental queens; the wonderful temple which was the pride and the glory of Israel, is gone, and the Ottoman crescent is lifted above the spot where, on that most memorable day in the annals of the world, they reared the Holy Cross. The noted Sea of Galilee, where Roman fleets once rode at anchor and the disciples of the Saviour sailed in their ships, was long ago deserted by the devotees of war and commerce, and its borders are a silent wilderness; Capernaum is a shapeless ruin; Magdala is the home of beggared Arabs; Bethsaida and Chorazin have vanished from the earth, and the “desert places” round about them where thousands of men once listened to the Saviour’s voice and ate the miraculous bread, sleep in the hush of a solitude that is inhabited only by birds of prey and skulking foxes.
Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can the curse of the Deity beautify a land?
Palestine is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and tradition - it is dream-land."

@@jrhirsch1 And yet .... this 'desolate' land had a thriving export business, predominantly but not exclusively in oilves and oranges, fully-functioning cities, a wonderful culinery culture, and so on...
Moreover, in sections other than the one quoted Mark Twain describes places of incredible beauty. (And other writers back up the latter statements.)
Finally, how do you think most of America woud be described in those days?
But in reality, none of this has any bearing on the state of Ersatz Israel today. And none of it is any excuse for apartheid and/or genocide.
