Lmao I have never once heard anyone say the “from the river to the sea” phrase in a way that’s hateful toward Jewish people or the Jewish religion. I am staunchly anti-hate, staunchly anti-Jewish persecution, but you cannot expect to hold any credibility while completely misrepresenting what people want and say. You can’t hide behind false claims of antisemitism while Israel is allowed to commit international crimes. Not only does that serve to defend reprehensible actions, it also takes away from the actual antisemitism that Jews face around the world, and have experienced in the past. Take a humanitarian stance, not a stance that you have just to back up your “home team”. I’m American, and happy to be, but I will always call out my country’s wrongdoings because it’s the right thing to do.
Do you know what river they are referring to? It’s the Jordan river. If Palestine was free from the river to the Sea, none of Israel would exist. Try to imagine what violence would need to ensue for none of Israel to exist.
@youngsuit they literally are the same thing. You're ignorant of the entire history surrounding the Arabs and Jews. Palestine has been given many opportunities to coexist over the last 100 years and they have refused and attacked Israel everytime. Fuck radical Islam.
@@youngsuit That is islamic propaganda so you can hate all jews by labelling them Zionist.(Matisayu jsut said how He was blocked by this BDS and even I have not heard of it or seens a video of this that is how strong the propaganda and their control on the media is) Its taught to them in the Quran. They say Quran doesnt allow them to kill innocent. Guess who are NOT innocent? ALL non-muslims. 1500 years of Muslims purging Jews chrisitains Bahai zorastrians Yazidi Arab polythiests and go eat they tried to wipe out hindus Buddhists Christians and other tribes like Baloch. While christianity stopped violence like 1000yrs ago and they used colonialism to spread Christianity then they stopped forced conversions. Islam continues till this day. They wiped out 26+% of Hindus in the Countries created at the same time as Israel that is Pakistan Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Somehow you expect that If Israel did not have their own country and stayed in Palestine they would be safe? You have to be really ignorant to think that. Look at their neighbour Lebanon to know how they ethnically cleansed christians from there while the world media called it a "civil war". Israels only fault is unlike Serbia they never took revenge. Even the Yugoslavia Serbia wars were Muslims against christians. When the rule of Ottoman ended they knew if they did not wipe out the Muslims they would wipe them out. They knew that becuase for 800 years these very muslims were once Christians. They tortured them when they were in power. Jews thought as a race Arabs would forget religion and live in Peace. They were wrong. Palestinians were never removed from Israel. They lie. Nakba was Palestinians leaving Israel so that arab armies would flatten Israel kill all jews and then they would go and occupy entire Israel. DID NOT HAPPEN> Israel won the war. Now you tell me on what "good faith" could Israel take back the muslims who left so the Jews would be wiped out. Still they offered them a two state solution. They did not take it cause....Back to the main discussion in this thread. Muslims always wanted "from the river to the sea" wanted all jews wiped out. They did an october 7th in 1948 in India with Mapla riots. But no media even today talks about. Indians don't know about it that is how strong the control of Islam is over the world Media and world religions. They have a strong lobby and/or manage to convince others world leaders and media that if their genocids are exposed then the current "innocent" muslims will become victims of hatred so this should be suppressed and FALSELY promise they wont do it again but they do it. 1990 Raped and Paraded Hindu women in Kashmir in India. They did with the help of Pakistan who infiltrated Kashmir and created a majority of Muslims and brainwashed the rest to Wipe out all Non-Muslims from kashmir. This is what they want everywhere they tried and they actually succeeded. Palestian Jordan Lebanon Sinai and Syria all are Christian majority. WHile jews don't try to convert people actively atlest christians managed to covert the Pagans in that regions. Then islam surfaced and mercelessly kiled Christians if they did not convert. Syrian christians are a lost community who have a legacy now in India where they migrated for safety along with Zorastrians and Even Jews. Today nobody can even imagine that Syria was a christian country. This was way before ISIS it happened during the Ottoamn rule. YOu think Israel or the jews would be safe living in an Islamic country. The Middle East that is Turkey Egypt all are artifacts of the Ottoman Empire Who alied with Hitler on the condition he Wipes out the Jews who escaped their ethnica cleansing. Hitler saw it as a political tool and also wanted allies as he did not have many He also knew it would be impossible to fight Muslims. Let me touch some arguments like Jews Christians lived peacefully during the Ottoman empire and even before it for 100s of years. That is being frugal with the truth. While true the finer details are these are Isolated pockets of Non-muslims who were protected by their own people. Islam was found around 1500 years ago. IN the Middle east almost every other muslim was either a jew or a Christian who was converted forcibly (by threatning to rape their wife daughtesr sisters in front of their eyes) or a few converted for a better life of privilege. These people got to positions of power and they were appointed to rule these "communities" of jews as they were quite large in numbers. They thought the jews would not go against an ex-jew. But these people also helped protect whom they considered their own people. This how pockets of Jews Christians and even Zorastrians who are wiped out completely still are staying in some places in Iran. They were protected by Muslims who were Ex-Zorastrians. Ethnica cleansing kept happening when these Converted Muslims lost their positions of power or their following generations forget their roots. But these people would go in and appeal with the current rules to show mercy. And they did. As most Muslims were converts even if they forgot their roots they were not radicalized. they got radicalized after 500 years. Infact now they are fully radiclizaed fidning a Muslims that will show mercy to a non-believer is very rare. Even if they won't actively participate in genocide if it happens they won't fight like some "jews" believing the islamic Propagand stand against ISrael. If Israel is wiped out they will go and live on their land like nothing happened even though they won't have the heart to murder another human. That is how "radicalized" they are also there is fear if they stand for a non-believer they will punished by death for Blasphemy. There are no such laws in Judaism that is why its easy for brainwashed jews to stand against Israel in the name of anti-Zionism.
They just look bad, no matter how you look at it, because they are bad people. 75% voted for Hamas in 2006 and literally slaughtered all the competition.
the phrase is "from the river to the sea, palestine will be free" - to say that this is implying "exterminate the jews" is an insane stretch in my opinion.
Not to mention the actual phrase is “from the river to the river to the sea” and it’s derived straight up out of The Torah… but has been highjacked and distorted by murderous to put it lightly death cult genocidal Islamists .

The host said it. Lots of us are ignorant to what's really going on there and unfortunately matisyahu did the opposite of shedding some light on the reality.. Its not Jews vs Palestinians or Muslims, its about PEOPLE having been driven off of their land. There's a difference between (anti) zionism and (anti) semitism and unfortunately not everybody knows that. I encourage matis to connect with the Palestinians, as well. Peace and love.
Free Palestine. Globalize the Intifada. Re-ask Matisyahu this question to see what his response now. You can tell he is very intentional on how he paints "those people." Yeah, those people who the State you love so dearly is committing genocide against. Black Liberation has always been connected to the Palestinian struggle, so shout out to the folx who corrected his statement on the chant.
As it relates to Israel - they are a powerful government that has been occupying Palestine for decades with no accountability - murder of children, removing people from their land against United Nations laws. Israel is just like South Africa, but South Africa had international support against apartheid, but Israel is more powerful and has powerful forces in support of them and do not hold them accountable in any way. Now as a Black woman with many Jewish friends, I still believe that Palestenians have a right to their state minimally - I don't necessarily believe in a two-state solution because that would be like saying ok in the US Blacks can only live on the coasts - that's your state. When you look at murder/death between Palestenians and Israelis, that is the story. That a powerful government is controlling movement of people, food, healthcare, etc. They have a limited representative government, but Israel controls and similar to the US there are major police abuses. Also, Israel trained US police in their own tactics - which include military. Israelis deserve to live, but it should not be demonized to say Palestenians deserve their land back, Palestenians deserve to live in peace, Palestenian children deserve to live in peace, that Israel should not be able to bomb neighborhoods and many more human rights violations that we ignore in the name of maintaining a "relationship" with Israel. We should never have to base our relationships with other countries upon our willingness to remain silent during inhumane treatment. Also, I love Matisyahu as a cantor/musician. I saw him in Mountain View and he is amazing. I just wish, human rights would be the focus.
I’m not Jewish but I feel a spiritual connection to his music. It’s like understanding an speaking a mutual language. This is what transcends us all, regardless of religious belief or not. And that is something I think he feels too and will always stand for that, for me ♥️✨
Nothing personal, but I can't support Apartheid Israel where Palestinians are treated like black people were treated during apartheid South Africa and Jim Crow here in America.
I’ve been there myself and there is no apartheid. It’s a complete lie. 20% of Israel is Muslim and Muslims, Jews and Christians live together in Israel with full and equal rights.
I guess 'go hard' is subjective, because 'King without a crown, live at Stubbs' is a cut I've always considered to go hard. Then again I'm a Reggae enthusiast.

You're being a bloody hypocrite, proposing that fake example. First and foremost, Americans *ARE* colonists. How many Americans are native ones and carry names like Broadnax or Carter, for that matter? :)) Yet you all choose to live there instead of going back to Africa or Europe, God knows why

@@davies3906 Sadly a lot of those hostages have likely already been killed...by IDF bombs. And this is something that the *families* of the hostages are acutely aware of. Just look up video of their meetings with Netanyahu and other Likud Party officials. Yes, Hamas should free the hostages - cease-fire or not. I think that they should do this not just because it's morally the right thing to do - which alone should be enough - but it is stratigecally it is smart, as it also would undercut those defending Israel's actions. At least those that say "There shouldn't be a ceasefire until the hostages are released." However...while I deeply believe that - starving civilians and children is NOT morally or ethically defensive either - hostages or no. Plus, CLEARLY *Hamas* themselves don't give a flying f*ck about the children of Gaza who are starving. But *we* should care.
Making this comment before playing this video footage... I've genuinely wondered what artist Matisyahu's thoughts and feels were regarding this decades-long conflict... Truly hope he and his loved ones and network of friends in that part of the world are fine and safe.
thank u for sharing. ❤Matisyahu thank God, the Creator. He's a tool in gods hands, so many people of so many different ethnic backgrounds r being hated and disrespected because of who they are. We have no choice to be born. We can only grow and make something of ourselves. We need to come together if there is to be peace for the next generations
I used to be a matisyahu fan. but "From the river to the sea" doesn't mean that. Matisyahu is a zionist and that hurts my heart. Also funny that he's butthurt about BDS
From the river to the sea was the pledge of citizenship that Jewish refugees took for their oath to never harm the natives and protect palestines sovereignty . It was sadly twisted to spite the harm that ensued from aggressive settler expansion but came from a good place we should go back to the original instructions
I honestly wish that I was more surprised at Sway for playing softball while interviewing Matisyahu after Vic Mensa attempted to enlighten the Sway in the morning crew
He did little to bring light to the reality in Palestine. But he’s also an American. He is not an authority to speak or should be required to speak with authority on the foreign policy of the Israeli State. He seems to have milk toast opinions on the issue, which is nothing new.
I don’t support Israel and I do support BDS to a certain extent, however, that is not fair how they did him at the festival in Spain. If they wanted him off the lineup or the stage, that’s fine, that’s their prerogative. But to basically strong arm him into making a statement on behalf of Jews or Israel or otherwise coerce him into disavowing his own beliefs. I understand why he supports Israel, I may not agree with him, but he’s entitled to his own beliefs and opinions just like we all are.
Glad to see he is against Zionism and apartheid kicking families out onto the street for old school religious colonialism. Also ppl from GAZA need serious help because of the embargo. They need basic human rights
I like your music, but don't like your support of Israel due to their apartheid state with the Palestinians and attempted genocide of them. It's the government of Israel, not the people, that I feel needs to stop taking over the Palestinians' land.
I have always enjoyed Matisyahu (music and message)...good show. For those with cultural beef, hatred, and vehemence: Awareness and love for one's own culture does not require vitriol for someone else's. That kind of drama is a distraction.
Jewrel But supporting a government that has stolen someone else land and promotion an apartheid Regime is like saying it’s okay what they did in South Africa but its okay because he don’t really have anything to do with that. It’s Wrong!
We draw the line with regards to respecting one's own culture against ethnic cleansing, apartheid, racism etc. which is what supporting the state of Israel necessarily entails. This is why we don't buy it when white Americans talk about respecting and preserving white culture. We understand the subtext and context there, and we also ought to do so with Israel-Palestine
Disappointed that i listened to this interview with the expectations of a real conversation on this so called Conflict (more like an onslaught of Palestinians)
Palestine this, Jews that? LMAO. Write your congressman or President with those political issues. This guy is just an entertainer, it's not his job to fix the world. Quit hatin and post what you yourself are doing to fix those very issues? Complaining and judging from the sidelines?
Are you dumb? Have you heard about AIPAC? There is no way Palestinians have any representatives. Trump just signed anti semitism bill where you can't criticize Jews.
He's misrepresenting what happened in Spain. They asked him to make a statement supporting a 2 state solution so they could make sure they weren't hosting a zionist. In my mind, being free is also being free not to associate with people with certain views. And this crap that no one hears about jews being messes with is so pathetic. I mean, seriously?
Dude says he’d give anything to hear him beatbox again, so he does it, and Sway totally ruins the whole thing by shouting out his stupid ad libs... lmao SMH
Men women and children live under siege in Gaza but the Zionist cry when people choose to boycott the Israeli government.. ...sway seems totally uneducated on Israel Palestine...Matisyahu saying “Palestine must be free” and taking that to mean “ throw the Jews into the sea” shows he is not honest ....I never liked his rip off of reggae music ..dude is a fraud 🤮

I think that they should do this not just because it's morally the right thing to do - which alone should be enough - but it is stratigecally it is smart, as it also would undercut those defending Israel's actions. At least those that say "There shouldn't be a ceasefire until the hostages are released."
However...while I deeply believe that - starving civilians and children is NOT morally or ethically defensive either - hostages or no. Plus, CLEARLY *Hamas* themselves don't give a flying f*ck about the children of Gaza who are starving.
But *we* should care.
Palestine 🇵🇸 is rubble now 😅
Making this comment before playing this video footage... I've genuinely wondered what artist Matisyahu's thoughts and feels were regarding this decades-long conflict... Truly hope he and his loved ones and network of friends in that part of the world are fine and safe.
Love this man, love his journey, his growth... and his music sets my soul on fire. Jesus lives.
Disgusting.
thank u for sharing. ❤Matisyahu thank God, the Creator.
He's a tool in gods hands, so many people of so many different ethnic backgrounds r being hated and disrespected because of who they are. We have no choice to be born. We can only grow and make something of ourselves. We need to come together if there is to be peace for the next generations
So much hate in the comments.. men and women are becoming hard to tell apart
This dude is dope live you should see him one day
Such an angel. Did y'all hear that boxin'? Wow
I used to be a matisyahu fan. but "From the river to the sea" doesn't mean that. Matisyahu is a zionist and that hurts my heart. Also funny that he's butthurt about BDS
Antisemites like you want to put Jews to the level of Gypsies. No, thank you.
From the river to the sea was the pledge of citizenship that Jewish refugees took for their oath to never harm the natives and protect palestines sovereignty . It was sadly twisted to spite the harm that ensued from aggressive settler expansion but came from a good place we should go back to the original instructions
I honestly wish that I was more surprised at Sway for playing softball while interviewing Matisyahu after Vic Mensa attempted to enlighten the Sway in the morning crew
He did little to bring light to the reality in Palestine. But he’s also an American. He is not an authority to speak or should be required to speak with authority on the foreign policy of the Israeli State.
He seems to have milk toast opinions on the issue, which is nothing new.
Matisyahu looking like Kathy Bates
😭😭😭😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️
From the land to the Sea palestine 🇵🇸 will be free
He's only 39. He's looking old.
Damn I thought he was in his 50s
Nah he looks young just his hair is turning.
@@AlahuSnackbar he looks old
Nooooooo, 39 😞😕?????
he was greatest when he had that orthodox look...now he lost that aura...went commercial...sold out
I don’t support Israel and I do support BDS to a certain extent, however, that is not fair how they did him at the festival in Spain. If they wanted him off the lineup or the stage, that’s fine, that’s their prerogative. But to basically strong arm him into making a statement on behalf of Jews or Israel or otherwise coerce him into disavowing his own beliefs. I understand why he supports Israel, I may not agree with him, but he’s entitled to his own beliefs and opinions just like we all are.
Glad to see he is against Zionism and apartheid kicking families out onto the street for old school religious colonialism. Also ppl from GAZA need serious help because of the embargo. They need basic human rights
He did not even once spoke against Zionism or apartheid wthell?
Free palestina!
Dang didnt kno Matisyahu was 50years old
Must have had a hard life. Looks so old
"conflict" = occupation
What kind of headphones is Sway using? I want to buy them.
Ray cons
I like your music, but don't like your support of Israel due to their apartheid state with the Palestinians and attempted genocide of them. It's the government of Israel, not the people, that I feel needs to stop taking over the Palestinians' land.
I have always enjoyed Matisyahu (music and message)...good show.
For those with cultural beef, hatred, and vehemence:
Awareness and love for one's own culture does not require vitriol for someone else's. That kind of drama is a distraction.
Jewrel But supporting a government that has stolen someone else land and promotion an apartheid Regime is like saying it’s okay what they did in South Africa but its okay because he don’t really have anything to do with that. It’s Wrong!
David Broadnax basically every land was stolen, especially America... you can’t escape it!!
We draw the line with regards to respecting one's own culture against ethnic cleansing, apartheid, racism etc. which is what supporting the state of Israel necessarily entails. This is why we don't buy it when white Americans talk about respecting and preserving white culture. We understand the subtext and context there, and we also ought to do so with Israel-Palestine
David Broadnax there’s no apartheid in Israel
Anasse M what is you definition of Apartheid?
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 #ceasefirenow!
I don't think its a accurate interpretation of the the chant. I think reductivism is part of the problem.
Maximum Tzadik energy
Legend
Did he forget jerusalem?
Disappointed that i listened to this interview with the expectations of a real conversation on this so called Conflict (more like an onslaught of Palestinians)
Cause you nothing but internet Chatta
@@43slax the pot calling the kettle...
Damn he's only 39?!?!?! HOW SWAY 😕😞
Kudos To Matisyahu...He stood for the truth he stood against Islamic Genocide. he did it very subtely but he never backed down.
To answer Sway’s Question is to tell the truth. These are European posing as God’s Children when they are not!
Facts 💯
@@Ghettosmurff1 refresh my memory how africans are indigenous to the levant?
You live in your own movie dude. 40% of Jewish Israelis ethnically Arab (Mizrahi) + 20% of Israel Citizen are Muslim Arab. So get a life.
There’s no old city in israel. Hahah but, old city in palestine, there is!!!
he was super religious atm ??? hes not now?
No, I think he’s like reconstructionist, he plays on the sabbath and everything
He woke up!!!
He carries it in his heart. What is not seen is sacred.
Palestine this, Jews that? LMAO. Write your congressman or President with those political issues. This guy is just an entertainer, it's not his job to fix the world. Quit hatin and post what you yourself are doing to fix those very issues? Complaining and judging from the sidelines?
I feel that💯
Are you dumb? Have you heard about AIPAC? There is no way Palestinians have any representatives. Trump just signed anti semitism bill where you can't criticize Jews.
One day one day one day )
#FREEPALESTINA and i'm not even muslim
Nah you just love to ingest propaganda. Your favorite dish.
He's misrepresenting what happened in Spain. They asked him to make a statement supporting a 2 state solution so they could make sure they weren't hosting a zionist. In my mind, being free is also being free not to associate with people with certain views. And this crap that no one hears about jews being messes with is so pathetic. I mean, seriously?
I STAND WITH ISRAEL.
lol he lying through his teeth !!! Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Wistle more baby boy

Free palestine, from river to the sea inshallah:)
He is definitely avoiding getting caught up in everything
Dude says he’d give anything to hear him beatbox again, so he does it, and Sway totally ruins the whole thing by shouting out his stupid ad libs... lmao SMH
Men women and children live under siege in Gaza but the Zionist cry when people choose to boycott the Israeli government..
...sway seems totally uneducated on Israel Palestine...Matisyahu saying “Palestine must be free” and taking that to mean “ throw the Jews into the sea” shows he is not honest ....I never liked his rip off of reggae music ..dude is a fraud 🤮
These people in our land sway .that what u don’t know ...we lost the War ran into Africa and the 2 nations took our land and renamed us
The bible says the world will change when the real Jewish people come back to Israel and reclaim the land.
Yashaya Yaquab 144 such crap 😂
The sooner people stop believing the nonsense in these religious books the sooner the world will find peace.
@@rtaghavino peace without virtue. Where do you think virtue comes from? Nothing?
@@WandamianCrucifixplate The point is there is a better way to conduct society other than adopting a manmade book that promotes misogyny, homophobia, slavery and xenophobia. People wrote these books at a time when they didn’t even know they were living on a planet. It’s time for an update.
Israel got the hottest girls
Matisyahu 🇮🇱♥️
Why don't you realize that in order to achieve world peace there needs to be unity between Christians,jews,muslims. Enough flying that pagan flag, let humans unit stop causing hate.
unity is important, there shall be no separation between any religious group, all my love each othet as 1 God commands, put your ego aside we're all brothers and sisters from "ADAM", didn't God make man in his own image?
What's the purpose of the song "One Day" then.... He doesn't ever want that? Still a great song but thats fucked up and fake.
