When you are an interviewer like him seeking the truth and knowledge, and you don't fear hearing other people's ideas, you can let them speak freely. It is the very insecure powerful elites or their 'journalist' minions who have to interrupt and cut off someone speaking the truth, if they ever let them on the channel to begin with. Yes, this journalist is great, highly respectable as is his guest.
Pilate (A Roman Governor) said to the Jewish leadership why am I crucifying this man (Jesus) he did no evil.

He is amazing! As a non Jewish person I could not for the love of God understand why the state of Israel behaves the way it does. Their idea of homeland and Jewish state. Rabbi Shapiro, has presented a dissection of Zionism and an embedded antisemitic nature of Zionism with a lens that is seldom presented. I am hugely impressed by his eloquence and his intellect.
@@MyVan111 ..you clearly didn’t watch the interview. Jews in Jerusalem still pray for “Next year in Jerusalem” because what they are referring to is entirely spiritual - not literal.

Clear speech! I was so relieved, yes, relieved, when I heard rabbi Shapiro the first time. I didn't understand the difference between zionism and judaism, now I do. Thank to rabbi Shapiro.

Thank you for the Jewish history lesson rabbi Shapiro . Your deep knowledge and insight is inspiring and valuable to everyone who wants to learn about the roots of this conflict in the Middle East.thank you again.
As an orthodox jew, I condemn the terrorist acts and war crimes of Israel. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. CRITCIZING ISRAEL ISN'T ANTISEMITISM!!! JUDAISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM !!!!
I could hear this guy talk for hours. I love the way he describes/explains Judaism and everything surrounding it. He has a good voice and accent to listen to as well.
Conversations like this are needed more than ever. It is essential to understand who people are and build relationships based on that understanding. Who are you? What do you think? What do you want? Why do you want it? How are you going to get it? Answering simple, straightforward questions honestly is an opportunity to peacefully connect. Asking questions is an invitation to build a relationship.
A great thank you Rabbi Shapiro for such an illuminating interview and sharing your wisdom 🙏. All what you say is perfectly clear and fully makes sense. These are words coming from a Man of faith and far stronger than others who dare to call spiritual people "unmanly".
Fantastic to hear Rabbi Shapiro speaking and explaining the true identity of true Judaism.I have always admired the religious Orthodox Jews who live by the law of Torah the holy book of Judaism.The law in Torah teaches to be godfearing,Peaceful,living in harmony with all others who share their land.What a wonderful,enlightening talk by the Rabbi.
Me too! I am also Catholic and really appreciate him. I am working on his book. It's very dense with lots of Yiddish terms, so not as easy as his interviews. But valuable. He gives me hope.
Thank you Rabbai Shapiro. You opened the eyes of many people. You showed me a new perspective on the matter. Salute to all real Jew of the world. Zionism is the destroyer of the greatJewish religion .
He is turning you all around his little finger, And you all do not even have the ability to see it. Let me tell you something love, a Rabbi who knowingly and intentionally contradicts explicit Jewish texts from a range of Jewish sources, starting from the prayer book, out of which he prays everyday and ending in the holly bible, is a very problematic Rabbi (to say the least). I'll tell you one more thing, the man is a devout Zionist (though a troubled, and a deeply disturbed one). The only substantial dispute he has with the state of Israel is about how and when. Meaning, at the end of the day, he also believes that eventually the Jews are to live freely in a sovereign Jewish state or kingdom in the land of Israel. You should also know, that as a Jew, despite of all those Mitzvos (religious good deeds) that he is decorating himself with every day, he is quite a sinner for doing a very basic, elementary, "NO-NO", that even most secular Jews are doing their best to avoid. All the rest of what he says comes out of pompous arrogance and self-righteousness filled with hate. Please do not take my word for what I just wrote. Check it out for yourself. The information is free and available to all. Best of luck, Your Jewish brother.
A brilliant clarification of the difference between Zionism and Judaism. Thank you so much Rabbi Yaakov Sharpiro. Now I understand the disparity between Israel and many Jews around the world.
One of his points actually held true in the early United States as well. Most of the Founding Fathers after 1776 still didn't think of themselves as "Americans" in the broad national sense of the term. Rather, they thought of themselves as citizens of their own State first and foremost, as when Thomas Jefferson referred to Virginia as "my country." The later extreme nationalism, firmly cemented in place over eighty years after the Founding by Lincoln's Gettysburg address, which totally warped and destroyed the original meaning of the Declaration of Independence, has led to the total warmongering government and foreign policy we have today. "Nationalism" in any form, e.g. Christian, political, etc. is the source of nearly every problem in these United States themselves, as well as the horrors and injustices we fund and contribute to around the world.
The important thing in the Declaration of Independence is the idea that human liberty and freedom to self-divinity are more important than loyalty to an abstract nation or state as an identity. I think even the idea of state loyalty is just more nationalism. Our loyalty should be, first and foremost, to the well-being of our human species and protecting our individual freedoms.
I am learning so much from Rabbi Shapiro. I am totally anti-Zionist, but I am also not a religious Jew. I am however a member of Jewish Voice for Peace. I think this organization and its support of Palestinian rights is my way of "being a good Jew".
I passed by a bakery in my town in Mexico called "the star of David". It has the logo of the star and everything. Because of the ethnic cleansing that Israel is carrying out against Palestinians I would normally these days I would have never stepped into that store. BUT , after having listened to this Rabbi I told myself : "These people have NOTHING to do with the state of Israel, they are Mexicans just as myself." I got into the bakery, bought my bread😋 good bread, by the way. Thanks Rabbi. God be with the world in general but particularly with Palestine and with Jews that are like you, I mean real jews.
Extremely enlightening and confusing at the same time. Thank you for giving some clarity nonetheless. This religion versus ethnicity versus nationality is hard to make sense of, but one of the most essential things to unravel.
Enlightening and important interview. Needs to be heard widely! To understand the psychology and ideology underpinning how this horror is now happening in Palestine.
It is interesting how when were I (a non Jew) have questions on judaism &/ Jews &/ Israel all I have to do is listen to Rabbi Shapiro to get a clarification. Thank you Rabbi Shapiro for educating us
I am a Scottish Catholic, there are English Catholics, German Catholics, Argentinian Catholics etc. But the Catholics in the world have never had the urge to all go and live in Italy. Catholicism is not a race, it is a religion. And that is the same for bonafide jews. The Zionists were the ones who attempted to merge or conflate Judaism with nationalism.
When people in your own group aren't doing the right thing, it is SO HARD to publicly go against what they're doing. When Catholics in Northern Ireland were committing acts of terrorism, most Irish Catholics wanted to focus on the acts of terrorism and oppression committed by the Protestants to justify the terror attacks committed by people in their tribe. But some Irish Catholics were brave enough to stand for peace at a time when it was unpopular. Their reward is great. We can all learn from the example of Rabbi Shapiro.
The main ideas that the professor seems to be trying to convey is: 1. Judaism should be viewed solely as a religion, not a national movement, allowing Jews to live anywhere (America, China, France, etc.) while being connected through their faith (religion and not through the idea of nationalism). Thus, Israel and its government, including Netanyahu, cannot claim to act in the name of all Jews (living in America, China, France, etc.). 2. Israel should function like any other country, representing its citizens rather than a specific religious group. Under Zionism, Jewish Americans or Jewish French people see Israel as their nation-state, with Netanyahu as their prime minister. However, this concept blurs the lines of citizenship and nationality, with non-citizen Jewish nationals being excluded from voting. Some of the quotes by Rabbi Shapiro: - "Who made them (Israel and Zionism) the spokesman for the Jews? Nobody. They just unilaterally declared themselves such. They declared themselves the spokeman of the Jews, the speakers of the Jews, the country of the Jews and the nation state of the Jews, their prime minister is of the Jew's." - "The reason Israel isn't a one state solution already is because Israel is the state of the Jews and not the state of the Israelis." -"If we want to end Zionism, Israel must become the state of the Israelis, not the state of the Jews." (These are only cherry picked quotes, be sure to watch both part 1 and 2 for the total picture)
On 7 Oct the Palestinian victims took a stance against their oppressors. Their IDF oppressors said how dare you rebel and increased their slaughter 100%. The West smiled and said you should have stayed a victim.
Being Muslim this is my faith all the prophets send to the children of Israel are true God chosen on true path they are my brothers I love 💕💕💕💕 them all i wish stand beside them on the day of judgement, they did what God told them to do, they were God fearing always calling people to worship God alone and good News of glad tidings of paradise hereafter, Torah, Gospel and Quran are the revelations from same God, my message to all humans fear the day when God will judge us all for our actions we did in this short life.

(These are only cherry picked quotes, be sure to watch both part 1 and 2 for the total picture)
Totally agree with this Rabbi ! ❤
For the love of God, upload the part 2 asap. Am astonished by this interview.
Elaborate explanation about zionism , thanks a lot Rabbi, now we have more knowledge about Zionist movement and the idea of creation of Israel
On 7 Oct the Palestinian victims took a stance against their oppressors. Their IDF oppressors said how dare you rebel and increased their slaughter 100%. The West smiled and said you should have stayed a victim.
Well said. Its appalling and beyond disgraceful
Freedom fighters against the oppressive colonial regime. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Very interesting. I learned a lot.
Thank you Rabbi 🙏
Rabbi Shapiro makes perfect sense. I wish every Jewish person will hear this.
@@Aiel-Necromancer they might, but that won't change the truth.
This man is a blessing for Jews.
Being Muslim this is my faith all the prophets send to the children of Israel are true God chosen on true path they are my brothers I love 💕💕💕💕 them all i wish stand beside them on the day of judgement, they did what God told them to do, they were God fearing always calling people to worship God alone and good News of glad tidings of paradise hereafter, Torah, Gospel and Quran are the revelations from same God, my message to all humans fear the day when God will judge us all for our actions we did in this short life.
Very informative, thank you. It is so important to listen to people who know the truth instead blindly following propaganda. This way we can make an informed decision. To many idiots want to comment on things the don't have clue about. Educate yourself first.
He is turning you all around his little finger,
And you all do not even have the ability to see it.
Let me tell you something love, a Rabbi who knowingly and intentionally contradicts explicit Jewish texts from a range of Jewish sources, starting from the prayer book, out of which he prays everyday and ending in the holly bible, is a very problematic Rabbi (to say the least).
I'll tell you one more thing, the man is a devout Zionist (though a troubled, and a deeply disturbed one).
The only substantial dispute he has with the state of Israel is about how and when.
Meaning, at the end of the day, he also believes that eventually the Jews are to live freely in a sovereign Jewish state or kingdom in the land of Israel.
You should also know, that as a Jew, despite of all those Mitzvos (religious good deeds) that he is decorating himself with every day, he is quite a sinner for doing a very basic, elementary, "NO-NO", that even most secular Jews are doing their best to avoid.
All the rest of what he says comes out of pompous arrogance and self-righteousness filled with hate.
Please do not take my word for what I just wrote.
Check it out for yourself.
The information is free and available to all.
Best of luck,
Your Jewish brother.
That was excellent. Very informative.
He clarified so many points I didn’t understand before.
