Beautiful and moving film. Don't believe the hype - people really can live together. I'm not Jewish but my mother was born in Marrakech. Vive le Maroc!
mehamed k lol "israel killed millions of palestinians" than you suprise why serious people dont take you seriously, just crazy no-life liberals leftists who will hate us jews anyway... stop talkin shit, start saying facts... what am i takling about? taqqiya is in your blood, your arab leaders brainwash your head and use propaganda for years ... you are lost case.
mehamed k khazar? my family came to israel 50 years ago from tunis and yemen... 65% of israelies are not "khazar". ashkenazi jews are also not khazar. the khazar jews are the ones who helping arabs attack jews.
+mehamed k I fear for your BP if i argued one more time about peace and compensation for common man you might break your laptop/PC keyboard out of anger.
+cad80 24 If you think Islam is so great why are you living in the West, you big hypocrite? Why don't you leave and go and live in a country where Islam is the majority religion and take your xenophobic bullshit with you. We could replace with someone who's going to make a contribution and you certainly won't be missed.
+cad80 24 You are a racist and an anti-Semite. I can't imagine that the millions and millions of hard-working, honest, loving Muslims in this world feel pride in sharing their religion with you. Your words have nothing to do with the Qur'an. In Morocco, Jews were treated as family by Muslims, and one of the highest points of Jewish history and culture was under the Muslim Moors of Spain. I, myself, am a Jewish English teacher of Pakistani Muslim students in Hong Kong. Our daily lives - I am a student of their culture and religion - prove you are simply wrong and your views are disgusting.
I am berber moroccan muslim and i think that evryone are welcome we can live with eachother we all are humans dosent matter as long as i dont bother you and you dont bother me its ok. If they want to come back to live in Morocco i dont have any problem with that as long as they dont bother me or anyone they can stay.
This is why I love my country. It doesn't matter which religion you practice, in the end we treat each other with respect and learn from our differences and this is one of the reasons why Morocco is so unique. It makes me happy to see that some have actually returned to their motherland and still identify themselves as Moroccan, because sometimes due to nationalism some would only identify themselves as Israeli jewish and nothing more which is quite sad because they're missing out on a huge part of their identity and cultural history. We can coexist and we should treat each other with respect!
+Nora Elz oh give me a brake ! It's not a big deal that can realy stop Moroccan jews to come back ! In the end it's your country and you will be always welcome
I am an arab christian and under any circumstance I will never leave my country or betray my nationality. I don't dream of a byzantine empire and I don't want any legendary promised land and I don't want to restore any long gone land or ethnicity. I am an arab because I lived with arabs all my life and speak arabic, my culture is islamic because they are my people who I grew up with. Any sectarianism or racism I might face is due to gnorant individuals and is not systematic. Any person who leaves his country or betrays his people in turmoil doesn't deserve his country or people in peace. If you made a choice to leave your country then stay out.
It will be interesting to hear same comment when ISIS or other islamists comes to your town. Anyway , the are big difference : you are arab with other faith but Jews from Middle East don't see themself as arabs but jews.They lived in these countries long before first arab or muslim even arrived. So why they must accept culture of ocuppation?
***** How do you know that , from AJ-Jazeera doc and other "not biased at all sourses" or you talked with jews from Morocco? ISIS is just new brand but group like this always exists under different names.
***** This is rubbish. Americans are not all native americans, Sweden is not all slavics...etc. Nations expand through wars and conquests and so you become part of a nation while still retaining your original roots. Before God told moses about his land Israel other people inhabited that land and were kicked out. History is full of conquests and war and expansion. Conquests, expansion and empires don't exist nowadays (well shouldn't). We are in the 21st century we read the history of our people, but that doesn't mean we should restore their conquests or lands. There was once a byzantine empire and yes I know and speak roman and pray in roman in the church, but this is my history and I feel no need to "avenge" my religion despite the fact Constantine is considered a saint in my church. I am now a citizen in an arab country regardless of my background religiously and ethnically. Even if I am persecuted I will not steal oil rich areas and ask to have a separate land and leave my country economically destroyed and in ruins (like some people), but rather I will work on fixing the problem and reinforcing the notion of citizenship: a land for all peoples. On a side note, I don't really believe in countries either. The fact that countries and borders still exist, shows how dumb and primitive we still are. Forget the media frenzy and lies, IS gives christians and jews 2 choices: you either pay a jizya or leave, I will try to pay jizya. The media tries to paint us christians as the real victims of IS when the victims are the Sunnis and Shiites. Over 700 members of a sunni tribe were killed by IS for raising their weapons against IS. IS is not a made up of one nationality but many and many. IS have fighters that are of the same nationality or ethnicity of the people they persecute. IS kills arabs and sunnis that don't adhere to its ideology, so to be honest IS doesn't evoke in me hate towards a race or religion.
I must say that the Jewish and Muslim people who spoke brought tears to my eyes. True values of their faiths prevail. Congratulations on Morocco and the king continuing to welcome people and its citizens.
+holistic79 well, they could help us to do so! morocco is poor ( ranking 123 in GDP per capita) country we are in need of young well-educated brains to boost our road to modernisation
What? don't litsen to al jazira propagnda! Im a moroocna Jew, when we returned to Israel our other Jewish brothers and sister had given us homes for free. And now we live together.
@@dorbitan2935 hhhh .you told me brothers and sisters and for free?!! You have segregated synagogues in Israel . Ishkinazi jew would spit on your face before you say anything. Stop lying !
zahid zada Arabs are treated with prejudice in Israel, yes. Saddest part is that the Mizrahi Jews (Jews from Arab nations) are contributing to this issue, falling for the Ashkenazi lies
A better government starts by a better individual who cares for his family, neighbours and environment. It went wrong when we left the straight path. Also the west don't want you to return if you are high schooled. They will offer you a big amount of money that will make you blind. So if we want change we have to change and believe.
Yes, Morocco is much better and open minded then Algeria and most of the Arab world. Morocco should never repeat Iran's mistake. Religion should have no role in politics. We Moroccans should identify as Amazigh people, the origin before the Islamic invasion. Morocco should stop being Muslim Arab.
I am a maroccan muslim from holland. And for me personaly i dont care what religion some one has. As long as you are polite, good behaved and have a good heart. Let us find peace not hate😍😍😍😍
Moroccan Jews are more than welcome in their country I'm Moroccan and I have Jewish friends they are like brothers and sisters for us. And thank god that we can live peacefully in our country Morocco !
I completely agree with you, the most important thing is that we are Moroccans, What defines us is our love for our country, not our religion or beliefs ! when I was 9 years old, a Jewish woman saved my life ❤
@@hamzaabou4821 is there choice to live here or in any other country as any moroccan who choose to live abroad, but they are always welcome here in there country.
Before islam came to Morocco , the morrocan jews lived in Morocco. So sad to see many left but nice to see that they still have a bond with Morocco. Long live Morocco and her people of all kinds.
20:47 This person is describing the ‘Alia’ (Immigration to Israel) accurately. Many Arab Jews were imported as a work force. They got inhuman housing, low grade to none jobs. They let them colonize the abandoned parts of the country. Years to come, Arab jews changed their arabic last name in order to have more job opportunities. (Im an arab jew, Mother side from Morocco, Father side from Kurdistan)
how are kurdish jews arabs? my mom's family from irani azeribaijan spoked assyriac,not arabic(same for iraqi kurdistan jews) . and ask your family -many of them escaped due to islamists attacks on jews .that was the case in kuyrdistan and that was the case in yemen ten times more. yemenite jews and kurds moved to jerusalem even before the formation in israel,first neighbourhoods in jerusalem and tel aviv were yemenite and kurdish- yemenites formed kerem hateimanim(yemenite grapevine) and shabazzi neighbourhoods in tel aviv,kurds formed many sections of nahlaot in jerusalem ... many morrocan,turkish,syrian and lebanese jews are of italian and spanish (sephardi and italqi) origin who spoke ladino at home,not arabic...
many jews have deep emotional connection to the countries where their parents were exciled in,i have emotional connection to kurdistan and assyria and yemene(though i have never been in any of those) but my most deep emotional connection is to israel,my motherland,to jerusalem-the city i was growing up in and to my brothers here. morroco looks very interesting and i grew up with lots of morrocan influence,food and music,due to the big morrocan community in jerusalem. we will be glad to have cultural exchange and invest and help to revive the whole middle east-but only if it comes with respect to our judean identity and our connection to judea-israel.
+MrRifino1 they recognize it as autonomous community of morocco wich is pretty much the same since morocco is planing to make all its regions autonomous !!!!!!

Praise be to God that we are the only people to whom a large number of Moroccan Jews who immigrated to Morocco of their own free will and have not been expelled from this happy country and that they are welcome all the time in their country until now
I noticed something 46:06 surname ' Pinto ' , which is typically Portuguese . After recoquista many Jews emigrated to Northern Europe or North Africa , but I am amazed that so many past centuries the surnames they had maintained.
I am my great-grandfather, a Jew who leads from Ait al-Kasous, the people of Elias al-Masi, in the city of Massa, in the south of Morocco, near Oued Massa, since 2000 years. There is a Jewish cemetery near the old Kasbah, which is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the country There are several cemeteries next to several kasbahs in Morocco Where they are the ones who built the Kasbah across Morocco They are the first Amazigh religion, who converted to Judaism through Phoenician trade Some of them became Muslim and some of them remained on their religion We are brothers in blood and DAN tests Science proves that
You don’t feel any difference between Moroccan Jews and Moroccan Arabs or berbers if I am honest They are all connected with our great country and that’s great example to everyone else Humanism beat politics 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Great documentary! I wish you would do the same for other Jews who came out of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Iran and other Muslim and Arab majority nations.
But not of hypocrite al jazeera to their advantage i can tell this is not propaganda but truth and yet they show only the part they see fit for their interests
Look how beautiful Jews and Muslims lived peacefully side by side, and when they Jews were leaving Arab moroccans asked why are you leaving??...while Israeli government forcing Palestinian people to leave their land ever day so sad..
Return to morocco, it's your country. You'll never have to fear to be treated like second grade citizen here, jew or muslim we're all equal under the moroccan flag.
Morocco and its long relationship with Jewish community including how highly they are valued is known throughout the Muslim world. Those whose Jewish forefathers came from Morocco and settled in Israel need to reclaim their heritage, you have a long and proud history - you can still be an Israelis but also be Moroccan no one can deny your historical rights.

What a beautiful documentary, tears fell down as i watched till the end knowing how Morocco lost a huge part of its Jewish culture once they went settling in Israel. Always welcomed back.
@@AnonYmous-zt6kr Dont say something and tell that it's something which all jews say. There are Millions of Jews you maybe know or heard something of like 50 so dont talk if you dont know. And if we would go after your theory, it'd be also better to "forgive" them because also the almighty, Allah, forgives us, so i think we could forgive some people who were forced to leave their country.
and jews lost much being away on an arab country,being second class citizens and then intermingling with europeans who gave them equal rights for the first time(french in algerian,tunisian and lebanese case and brits in iraqi and yemenite jewish cases) . jews are happy at their homeland israel,we will be glad to renew cultural exchange if the arabs want but without giving up on our identity,langauge,culture and democracy. we dont want forgiveness from anyone. we want cultural excahnge as equals ,like turks visiting morroco and maybe morrocans visiting israel . we dont need cultural exchange at the price of giving up on israel
@@netanelzion It isnt your homeland if you are originally European or Northern African or whatever. Its the homeland of the Palestinians there who have been born there since generations of thousands of years. Where have been the "indigenious" jews at 1850? There were just 15'000 Jews but 500'000 Palestinians.
Great observation... because unlike Israel, Qatar denies that assahra' maghribiya. Do you know that 99.99% of Palestinians sympathize with the Polisario and consider Morocco an Apartheid state? So is the majority of Arab nations. They refuse and the least AVOID recognizing the Sahara as integral part of Morocco. Be smart Moroccans and don't fall for the religious opium.

They left by themselves, not forced/not persecuted. They had no reason to leave, other than they chose to leave. Morocco wasn’t hostile to them, small exceptions aside (which compared to other countries are negligible).
I Was In Morocco Over The Summer In Agadir... Beautiful Country!! So Do Moroccans Consider Themselves African Or Arabic?? Because It's In North Africa But It's Also A Muslim Country So Therefore It's Arabic..... Salam U Alaykum From Ireland!! 🇮🇪☮
+M. Cloak Wa alaykum assalam, you're welcome again my Friend :) From what I know we consider both, we do say North-africans cause it is a specific region of Africa, indicating the muslim berber's/arab's countries in the north continent.
+M. Cloak The majority doesn't consider Morocco as an Arabic country, because the majority isn't Arab. However it's ruled by an Arab elite, and therefore it has created the illusion of being an Arab country. The truth is therefore very different.
So From What I'm Hearing; It Depends On The Person Themselves Whether They Think They're African Or Arabic, But The General Consensus Is That Moroccans Are Africans.... Is This Right? Salam U Alaykum From Ireland (Again!) ✌🏻️🇮🇪🇲🇦
M. Cloak Wa alaykum assalam, Recent statistics shows that the majority are non Berber. It's just that people thinks because they were the most ancient in that region of Africa, they ought to be logically the majority nowadays. Which is not true in reality. So the majority does considers it a Muslim country above else, and then an arabic one, even though berbers arent small either (40%), but they arent the majority. " Morocco's official languages are Arabic and Berber.[89][90] The country's distinctive group of Moroccan Arabic dialects is referred to as Darija. Approximately 89.8%[5] of the whole population can communicate to some degree in Moroccan Arabic. The Berber language is spoken in three dialects (Tarifit, Tashelhit and Central Atlas Tamazight).[91] In 2008, Frédéric Deroche estimated that there were 12 million Berber speakers, making up about 40% of the population.[92] The 2004 population census reported that 28.1% of the population spoke Berber.[5] " Source official wiki of The kingdom of Morocco: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morocco
Not all of Morocco is like this for some reason they always show the poorest places. its like going to Deptford in London and making out the whole of London to be like that.
the thing which really upset me and wind me up is seen the MOROCCAN map cutted i feel fuming wllah sahara is moroccan and will remain always moroccan ...... jews, christians ,muslims or non believers religion comes last the most necessary thing is we r moroccans and holding the same nationality #PROUD-TO-BE-MOROCCAN
believe it or not even if most of jews are now invisible in morocco but we still live in the stories of our grandparents about the friendship, the work and the cohabitation of moroccans in general. we will forever love the jews we will forever hope to reunite. i will definitely come to see u in palestine/israel one day.
my grandfather was Moroccan jew, he moved to israel when he was 14. they lived in a city divided between the french and the Spanish rule, they lived on the Spanish side of the city, when the Spanish civil war broke out his uncle fought against the fascists, and after they won he hided in my great grandfather's house. one night my great grandfather told him to escape to the french side of the city, and in the morning the fascists came to look for him but was already on the french side. my grandfather was in sinai in the six day war, in syria in the yom Kippur war, the first Lebanon war, and in Hebron in the first intifada.
As a Moroccan it makes me so sad a huge part of our cultural fabric/society, the Jewish community was lost, well not completely lost but many people left. It’s also sad that some people who are Moroccan Jews have simply lost that culture completely and have assimilated into Israeli society disregarding/at Times being ashamed of their Moroccan roots, but it’s also interesting and great to see that others have held onto our culture which is awesome. The harmony that exists between us has always been tampered with by outside forces, the anti-Semitism being rife in the Muslim community has been bolstered by all of these political upheavals in Israel/Palestine. I would not say that it never existed but it wasn’t to this level and I think that it was done on purpose just as the exodus of Jews from Morocco was orchestrated. Truly can’t stand these people who divide humans and cause all this bloodshed and hate. Absolute scum.
@@x6621 thats not what happened in morocco, people fled because they heard what happened in the east and mossad was spreading these fear mongering, infact morocco had a law that banned jews migrating, and the only violence that occured was because jews were illegally fleeing to the algerian border to go to israel, ask why alot of moroccan jews still love morocco and 50.000 visit here every year
Stop calling Morocco part of the "arab world", we are an ethnic *Amazigh*. society. The Imazighen have killed and pushed out all of the arabs in the Battle of Bagdoura in 741. I'm a Moroccan and a proud Amazigh, nothing is more annoying than people calling me an "arab".
rock3tcat Thanks for saying it brother, Morocco is multiculural, its his history, his strongess quality, people, medias and power have only to lose forgetting most of their people, denying their story, their culture their ethnicity, we are muslim amazigh, arab, sahrawi, were jew ......
Alkar Kerfa it's true and I believe that one day people will acknowledge it and stop chasing arabs. I have nothing against arabs but you don't have to become one in order to be a good muslim.
Being Arab is not on your blood . It's not a race , those who are Arab are those who speak Arabic and practice Arab culture . Thats it . No one has Arab blood

I am glad Morocco normalized ties with Israel.. Jewish culture and heritage is a big part of Morocco.. It is so sad that our history textbooks did not teach us anything about the Jewish culture and heritage in Morocco everything I know I just learned from my grandparents who lived together with other Jewish families back then, but glad the king is bringing back that heritage to schools not to be lost in Morocco .. I live in Canada and no matter what, Morocco is and will be always a part of me.. no big surprise here Morocco is a part of who they are too and they will be always connected to the land and their origin as we all do.. I can go travel many other places in the world and would cost way cheaper but no matter where you go home is home
They don't go through bullshit. They have a Moroccan passport with no problems and take an indirect flight, typically via France or Spain. Stop spreading propaganda. There are Jewish schools in Morocco and Jewish laws for Jewish.
@@idanmalka6096 You are always welcome to your home Morocco, I never been myself to Meknes but I can tell t is a beautiful city with lots of history.. Make sure when you visit to make it a bit longer visit as there are lots of other beautiful places to visit in the country, and do not miss the south east of Morocco it is really worth visiting
@@triggerwarning7662 dude chill out and do not throw big words on people just like that.. I do not think there is a propaganda to be spread in the first place .. I know there are still people in Morocco of Jewish faith and are treated the same as any other citizen and that what makes Morocco the land of coexistence for thousands of years and glad to see the king and people are trying to keep it that way and bring back the Moroccan Jewish heritage and history in education for next generations to know .. I may be wrong and did not do my research about the travel B.S part and will delete that part but still great to have direct flights.. thanks for mentioning that though
My great grand parents are all marrocan, but they came to Brazil, not Israel, btw my city has one of the biggest marrocan Jewish commities in the world
By how it portraits life in Israel: basicly making money, a racist clasist society, that they were sent there to starve and isolate, the reasons why they left. Anyway, putting this classic AlJazeera message aside it was very interesting (being of Sephardic ethnicity myself).
Actually Al Jazeera English (Not the Arabic one, I've watched it and it's literally 150% Qatari Islamist propaganda) isn't that biased. It's one of the most trustworthy news sources today.
many jews have deep emotional connection to the countries where their parents were exciled in,i have emotional connection to kurdistan and assyria and yemen(though i have never been in any of those) but my most deep emotional connection is to israel,my motherland,to jerusalem-the city i was growing up in and to my brothers here. morroco looks very interesting and i grew up with lots of morrocan influence,food and music,due to the big morrocan community in jerusalem. we will be glad to have cultural exchange and invest and help to revive the whole middle east-but only if it comes with respect to our judean identity and our connection to judea-israel.
Don't be so ignorant, pls. You call people inbecils but you aren't that smart either. If you go look at history almost every country did stole land that don't belong to them!
This was very poignant. I still don't fully understand why many Moroccan Jews even left their home country in particular since they were living such amazing lives there and in peace and equality, whereas in Israel they felt discriminated against for being Arab jews, and somehow less than the ashkenazi or other groups of jews.
They left because they wanted to go to where they felt their ancestral home is. Jerusalem and Israel are mentioned almost everywhere in prayers, so the yearn for Israel and Jerusalem is a very large part of the religion, and Moroccan Jews were religious back then. That's why even though they did have a good life they chose to go to Israel. Also, Omar has no idea what he talks about. I'm not Moroccan Jew by the way, my family is from Iraq.
My grandma was not allowed to study past the 10 grade because she was jewish. Only she needed to only stay in the jewish neighborhood other wise her safety would have been compromised. So she left because she lacked freedom and rights. Not because amy one forced her.
The 5:46 mark of the video features the remark of "the Jews from Agouim" having "had no reason to leave." Lots of Jews from the former USSR had at least 1 good reason to leave: rampant discrimination by local authorities. The same sadly occurred in far too many Soviet satellite states, a good reason why those and the former Soviet Union are emptier of Jews than they once were.

Unfortunately, this film amounts to poor, shallow propaganda. Masses of people do not instantly leave their ancient homeland at the push of a button, for no reason. The film does not mention the various limitations imposed on the Jewish communities over the centuries, including first and first-most restricting them to the "Mellach". It also does not mention anti-Jewish riots and massacres, in Fes, Casablanca, Settat, Oujda, and other places. Also, no word on the emergence of the Moroccan national liberation movement in the 1940s/50s/60s as pan-Arabic / pan-Islamic, excluding the Jews from the vision of future Morocco. This film does not help a real discussion of the history of the Jews in Morocco.
+Shlomo Perets Islamic system was not bad for the Jews. From the time of Muhammad(puh) Jews were given the right to be judges according to the Law of what they believe to be the Torah .
+azadam1000 Are you perhaps referring to the dhimmi status, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi ? And what about secular residents who do not want to be affiliated with any religion?
all I am saying is that religious Jews were free to judge each other according to their way of life . In secular countries they have one law for all . As for secular well you don't have to be atheist to be secular . There are lots of religions which do not cover all aspects of life so you can say there are many secular religions. every human is religious in some form. For example atheists abide to changes taking place in the ''allmighty'' cosmos and in it counts what is possible and not but still they refer to terms as equality and condemn slavery even though slavery can be beneficial . It is this social pressure which makes them say that slavery is wrong . But people like to talk and forget truth which is more important.
Morocco isn't Arab. Moroccans are genetically berbers and Jews are our friends and brothers. We are against the Islamic anti semitism. If having an Islamic heritage means we are Arab then Indonesia is Arab too.
Jews of Morocco, Morocco has been your home for over 2500 years. It will always be your home away from home. Your second home, but Israel is your eternal home/inheritance and home of your ancestors. Never get fooled. Never give up your Israeli citizenship. FYI, my mother was an Amazighi of Jewish origin, and my father was half Sephardi. I was raised as Muslim and in public schools we have been brainwashed to hate the Jews. In fact, my Lycee was near ORT (the Jewish Lycee). We used to go terrorize them, throwing rocks at their school and harass their girls. We did the same in my neighborhood of Zerqtouni toward the Jews at Lycee Lyautey. I was STUPID and, in our family, they hid the fact that we were originally Jews, converts to Islam. Now, I identify as a Messianic Zionist Jew. Although I didn't move to Israel, my son and my grand children are Israeli citizens and I'm proud of my son being an IDF soldier. Am Israel Chai. I love Morocco too and I strongly believe it will be Israel's twin sister when Moshiach returns. YHWH will reward the Moroccan people for protecting the Jews and hosting us for 2500 years. God bless Israel, Morocco and the USA.

+cad80 24 If you think Islam is so great why are you living in the West, you big hypocrite? Why don't you leave and go and live in a country where Islam is the majority religion and take your xenophobic bullshit with you. We could replace with someone who's going to make a contribution and you certainly won't be missed.
+cad80 24 You are a racist and an anti-Semite. I can't imagine that the millions and millions of hard-working, honest, loving Muslims in this world feel pride in sharing their religion with you. Your words have nothing to do with the Qur'an. In Morocco, Jews were treated as family by Muslims, and one of the highest points of Jewish history and culture was under the Muslim Moors of Spain. I, myself, am a Jewish English teacher of Pakistani Muslim students in Hong Kong. Our daily lives - I am a student of their culture and religion - prove you are simply wrong and your views are disgusting.
I am berber moroccan muslim and i think that evryone are welcome we can live with eachother we all are humans dosent matter as long as i dont bother you and you dont bother me its ok. If they want to come back to live in Morocco i dont have any problem with that as long as they dont bother me or anyone they can stay.

Good idea take all Jews back and palastinians go back to palastine
Ask the Palestinians how they are feeling about the "return".
The Jews have been in Morocco for 2000+ years for some it’s not staying in the country it’s coming home.
This is why I love my country. It doesn't matter which religion you practice, in the end we treat each other with respect and learn from our differences and this is one of the reasons why Morocco is so unique. It makes me happy to see that some have actually returned to their motherland and still identify themselves as Moroccan, because sometimes due to nationalism some would only identify themselves as Israeli jewish and nothing more which is quite sad because they're missing out on a huge part of their identity and cultural history. We can coexist and we should treat each other with respect!

I am an arab christian and under any circumstance I will never leave my country or betray my nationality. I don't dream of a byzantine empire and I don't want any legendary promised land and I don't want to restore any long gone land or ethnicity. I am an arab because I lived with arabs all my life and speak arabic, my culture is islamic because they are my people who I grew up with. Any sectarianism or racism I might face is due to gnorant individuals and is not systematic. Any person who leaves his country or betrays his people in turmoil doesn't deserve his country or people in peace. If you made a choice to leave your country then stay out.
but a lot of them left with their parents, at an age when they were too young too choose for themselves.. should they "stay out" as well then?
It will be interesting to hear same comment when ISIS or other islamists comes to your town.
Anyway , the are big difference : you are arab with other faith but Jews from Middle East don't see themself as arabs but jews.They lived in these countries long before first arab or muslim even arrived. So why they must accept culture of ocuppation?
***** How do you know that , from AJ-Jazeera doc and other "not biased at all sourses" or you talked with jews from Morocco? ISIS is just new brand but group like this always exists under different names.
sektortekno I meant what I said generally
***** This is rubbish. Americans are not all native americans, Sweden is not all slavics...etc. Nations expand through wars and conquests and so you become part of a nation while still retaining your original roots. Before God told moses about his land Israel other people inhabited that land and were kicked out. History is full of conquests and war and expansion. Conquests, expansion and empires don't exist nowadays (well shouldn't). We are in the 21st century we read the history of our people, but that doesn't mean we should restore their conquests or lands. There was once a byzantine empire and yes I know and speak roman and pray in roman in the church, but this is my history and I feel no need to "avenge" my religion despite the fact Constantine is considered a saint in my church. I am now a citizen in an arab country regardless of my background religiously and ethnically. Even if I am persecuted I will not steal oil rich areas and ask to have a separate land and leave my country economically destroyed and in ruins (like some people), but rather I will work on fixing the problem and reinforcing the notion of citizenship: a land for all peoples. On a side note, I don't really believe in countries either. The fact that countries and borders still exist, shows how dumb and primitive we still are. Forget the media frenzy and lies, IS gives christians and jews 2 choices: you either pay a jizya or leave, I will try to pay jizya. The media tries to paint us christians as the real victims of IS when the victims are the Sunnis and Shiites. Over 700 members of a sunni tribe were killed by IS for raising their weapons against IS. IS is not a made up of one nationality but many and many. IS have fighters that are of the same nationality or ethnicity of the people they persecute. IS kills arabs and sunnis that don't adhere to its ideology, so to be honest IS doesn't evoke in me hate towards a race or religion.
I must say that the Jewish and Muslim people who spoke brought tears to my eyes. True values of their faiths prevail. Congratulations on Morocco and the king continuing to welcome people and its citizens.
I adore Morocco. It just needs a better system then all Moroccans would go back in a heart best.

Yes, Morocco is much better and open minded then Algeria and most of the Arab world. Morocco should never repeat Iran's mistake. Religion should have no role in politics. We Moroccans should identify as Amazigh people, the origin before the Islamic invasion. Morocco should stop being Muslim Arab.

Before islam came to Morocco , the morrocan jews lived in Morocco. So sad to see many left but nice to see that they still have a bond with Morocco. Long live Morocco and her people of all kinds.
20:47 This person is describing the ‘Alia’ (Immigration to Israel) accurately. Many Arab Jews were imported as a work force. They got inhuman housing, low grade to none jobs. They let them colonize the abandoned parts of the country. Years to come, Arab jews changed their arabic last name in order to have more job opportunities. (Im an arab jew, Mother side from Morocco, Father side from Kurdistan)

I noticed something 46:06 surname ' Pinto ' , which is typically Portuguese . After recoquista many Jews emigrated to Northern Europe or North Africa , but I am amazed that so many past centuries the surnames they had maintained.

I am my great-grandfather, a Jew who leads from Ait al-Kasous, the people of Elias al-Masi, in the city of Massa, in the south of Morocco, near Oued Massa, since 2000 years. There is a Jewish cemetery near the old Kasbah, which is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the country There are several cemeteries next to several kasbahs in Morocco Where they are the ones who built the Kasbah across Morocco They are the first Amazigh religion, who converted to Judaism through Phoenician trade Some of them became Muslim and some of them remained on their religion We are brothers in blood and DAN tests Science proves that

Free Palestine from the river to the sea
Love to all Moroccan
Look how beautiful Jews and Muslims lived peacefully side by side, and when they Jews were leaving Arab moroccans asked why are you leaving??...while Israeli government forcing Palestinian people to leave their land ever day so sad..
Return to morocco, it's your country. You'll never have to fear to be treated like second grade citizen here, jew or muslim we're all equal under the moroccan flag.
Morocco and its long relationship with Jewish community including how highly they are valued is known throughout the Muslim world. Those whose Jewish forefathers came from Morocco and settled in Israel need to reclaim their heritage, you have a long and proud history - you can still be an Israelis but also be Moroccan no one can deny your historical rights.

What a beautiful documentary, tears fell down as i watched till the end knowing how Morocco lost a huge part of its Jewish culture once they went settling in Israel. Always welcomed back.
Why should they be welcomed back after they left ? Palestinians aren't welcomed back to Palestine after they left...... double standard much
@Unforgivable ! Jews consider themselves a race so they can't be amazigh.
@@AnonYmous-zt6kr Dont say something and tell that it's something which all jews say. There are Millions of Jews you maybe know or heard something of like 50 so dont talk if you dont know. And if we would go after your theory, it'd be also better to "forgive" them because also the almighty, Allah, forgives us, so i think we could forgive some people who were forced to leave their country.
and jews lost much being away on an arab country,being second class citizens and then intermingling with europeans who gave them equal rights for the first time(french in algerian,tunisian and lebanese case and brits in iraqi and yemenite jewish cases) . jews are happy at their homeland israel,we will be glad to renew cultural exchange if the arabs want but without giving up on our identity,langauge,culture and democracy. we dont want forgiveness from anyone. we want cultural excahnge as equals ,like turks visiting morroco and maybe morrocans visiting israel . we dont need cultural exchange at the price of giving up on israel

I Was In Morocco Over The Summer In Agadir... Beautiful Country!! So Do Moroccans Consider Themselves African Or Arabic?? Because It's In North Africa But It's Also A Muslim Country So Therefore It's Arabic..... Salam U Alaykum From Ireland!! 🇮🇪☮
+M. Cloak Wa alaykum assalam, you're welcome again my Friend :)
From what I know we consider both, we do say North-africans cause it is a specific region of Africa, indicating the muslim berber's/arab's countries in the north continent.
+M. Cloak Its an African country, but we still consider it an Arabic country. Even though not everyone there is Arab.
+M. Cloak The majority doesn't consider Morocco as an Arabic country, because the majority isn't Arab. However it's ruled by an Arab elite, and therefore it has created the illusion of being an Arab country. The truth is therefore very different.
So From What I'm Hearing; It Depends On The Person Themselves Whether They Think They're African Or Arabic, But The General Consensus Is That Moroccans Are Africans.... Is This Right? Salam U Alaykum From Ireland (Again!)
✌🏻️🇮🇪🇲🇦
M. Cloak Wa alaykum assalam,
Recent statistics shows that the majority are non Berber. It's just that people thinks because they were the most ancient in that region of Africa, they ought to be logically the majority nowadays. Which is not true in reality.
So the majority does considers it a Muslim country above else, and then an arabic one, even though berbers arent small either (40%), but they arent the majority.
" Morocco's official languages are Arabic and Berber.[89][90] The country's distinctive group of Moroccan Arabic dialects is referred to as Darija. Approximately 89.8%[5] of the whole population can communicate to some degree in Moroccan Arabic. The Berber language is spoken in three dialects (Tarifit, Tashelhit and Central Atlas Tamazight).[91] In 2008, Frédéric Deroche estimated that there were 12 million Berber speakers, making up about 40% of the population.[92] The 2004 population census reported that 28.1% of the population spoke Berber.[5] "

believe it or not even if most of jews are now invisible in morocco but we still live in the stories of our grandparents about the friendship, the work and the cohabitation of moroccans in general. we will forever love the jews we will forever hope to reunite. i will definitely come to see u in palestine/israel one day.
my grandfather was Moroccan jew, he moved to israel when he was 14. they lived in a city divided between the french and the Spanish rule, they lived on the Spanish side of the city, when the Spanish civil war broke out his uncle fought against the fascists, and after they won he hided in my great grandfather's house. one night my great grandfather told him to escape to the french side of the city, and in the morning the fascists came to look for him but was already on the french side.
my grandfather was in sinai in the six day war, in syria in the yom Kippur war, the first Lebanon war, and in Hebron in the first intifada.
As a Moroccan it makes me so sad a huge part of our cultural fabric/society, the Jewish community was lost, well not completely lost but many people left. It’s also sad that some people who are Moroccan Jews have simply lost that culture completely and have assimilated into Israeli society disregarding/at Times being ashamed of their Moroccan roots, but it’s also interesting and great to see that others have held onto our culture which is awesome. The harmony that exists between us has always been tampered with by outside forces, the anti-Semitism being rife in the Muslim community has been bolstered by all of these political upheavals in Israel/Palestine. I would not say that it never existed but it wasn’t to this level and I think that it was done on purpose just as the exodus of Jews from Morocco was orchestrated. Truly can’t stand these people who divide humans and cause all this bloodshed and hate. Absolute scum.
@@x6621 thats not what happened in morocco, people fled because they heard what happened in the east and mossad was spreading these fear mongering, infact morocco had a law that banned jews migrating, and the only violence that occured was because jews were illegally fleeing to the algerian border to go to israel, ask why alot of moroccan jews still love morocco and 50.000 visit here every year
Stop calling Morocco part of the "arab world", we are an ethnic *Amazigh*. society. The Imazighen have killed and pushed out all of the arabs in the Battle of Bagdoura in 741.

MrSiano90 I agree with you I changed my mind when reading ibn khaldoun I understood morocco is amazigh
Alkar Kerfa it's true and I believe that one day people will acknowledge it and stop chasing arabs. I have nothing against arabs but you don't have to become one in order to be a good muslim.

I am glad Morocco normalized ties with Israel.. Jewish culture and heritage is a big part of Morocco.. It is so sad that our history textbooks did not teach us anything about the Jewish culture and heritage in Morocco everything I know I just learned from my grandparents who lived together with other Jewish families back then, but glad the king is bringing back that heritage to schools not to be lost in Morocco .. I live in Canada and no matter what, Morocco is and will be always a part of me.. no big surprise here Morocco is a part of who they are too and they will be always connected to the land and their origin as we all do.. I can go travel many other places in the world and would cost way cheaper but no matter where you go home is home

By how it portraits life in Israel: basicly making money, a racist clasist society, that they were sent there to starve and isolate, the reasons why they left. Anyway, putting this classic AlJazeera message aside it was very interesting (being of Sephardic ethnicity myself).
Actually Al Jazeera English (Not the Arabic one, I've watched it and it's literally 150% Qatari Islamist propaganda) isn't that biased. It's one of the most trustworthy news sources today.
Brooklyn Knight I agree. They are fairly impartial in most of world subjects. Except, I'm affraid, the Israeli-Palestinian question.
***** I am Moroccan Jew born and raised in Morocco,.. and this documentary is clearly biaised , as much as I love my country
I hate videos like this with 3 or 4 languages that I speak. My brain just can't decide what language to use.
Hhhhhhh welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦
Religion is for God and the Homeland for all 👍
Long live to Morocco land of peace, long live to the king of Morocco his majesty Mohammed VI. long live to all moroccans whatever their religion. !!!!
many jews have deep emotional connection to the countries where their parents were exciled in,i have emotional connection to kurdistan and assyria and yemen(though i have never been in any of those) but my most deep emotional connection is to israel,my motherland,to jerusalem-the city i was growing up in and to my brothers here. morroco looks very interesting and i grew up with lots of morrocan influence,food and music,due to the big morrocan community in jerusalem.
we will be glad to have cultural exchange and invest and help to revive the whole middle east-but only if it comes with respect to our judean identity and our connection to judea-israel.

Nos frères juifs marocains nous sommes ravis de vs avoir accueilli ds votre pays d origine le Maroc
This was very poignant. I still don't fully understand why many Moroccan Jews even left their home country in particular since they were living such amazing lives there and in peace and equality, whereas in Israel they felt discriminated against for being Arab jews, and somehow less than the ashkenazi or other groups of jews.
what would happen to people who would refuse?
They left because they wanted to go to where they felt their ancestral home is. Jerusalem and Israel are mentioned almost everywhere in prayers, so the yearn for Israel and Jerusalem is a very large part of the religion, and Moroccan Jews were religious back then. That's why even though they did have a good life they chose to go to Israel. Also, Omar has no idea what he talks about.
I'm not Moroccan Jew by the way, my family is from Iraq.
My grandma was not allowed to study past the 10 grade because she was jewish.
Only she needed to only stay in the jewish neighborhood other wise her safety would have been compromised.
So she left because she lacked freedom and rights.
Not because amy one forced her.
@@itaibh1 The Israeli Mossad forced them to leave Morocco .
The 5:46 mark of the video features the remark of "the Jews from Agouim" having "had no reason to leave." Lots of Jews from the former USSR had at least 1 good reason to leave: rampant discrimination by local authorities. The same sadly occurred in far too many Soviet satellite states, a good reason why those and the former Soviet Union are emptier of Jews than they once were.
les juifs berbères marocains sont les bienvenus pour revenir chez eux au MAROC ,on ne vous à pas oublié et vous êtes chez vous au MAROC votre pays OÙ tout le monde vie en paix ,le futur nous rassemblera à nouveau n'en déplaise à nos haineux ennemis ,vive le MAROC vive ISRAËL.

we will be glad to have cultural exchange and invest and help to revive the whole middle east-but only if it comes with respect to our judean identity and our connection to judea-israel. btw-like myself,most mizrahi jews in israel have parents who come from different countries(sometimes even the grandparents come from few different countries).most people i know my age who have family that came from morroco have family that came from somewhere else too,like algeria,tunisia,yemen,iraq etc...
القدس و فلسطين ليست وطنك ..و إسرائيل كيان إجرامي بني على قتل و تهجير أصحاب الأرض الأصليين..اليهود المؤمنين لا يعترفون باسرائيل كدولة و يعتبرون انشاءها تحد و معصية لله...

Morocco love jews i love jews and i mean it❤
Morocco ❤💜💙😊👍is beste country
Les Juifs du Maroc seront toujours les bienvenus dans leur pays. Mais nous devons également prendre nos responsabilités et lutter de toutes nos forces contre toutes les formes d'antisémitisme. Le Maroc ne sera digne qu'en accueillant toutes les religions et toutes les cultures, tout en valorisant son histoire et ses traditions : c'est possible ! En attendant Shalom à tous nos frères en Israël.
Just fascinating!

Heer Ollie stop judaization of occupied palestine(holy land).
user unknown what? that’s like asking why Milions of Africans were enslaved... Yes we welcomed everyone without resistance WTF
there is something called ‘weapon’ that’s how they took it...
Unfortunately, this film amounts to poor, shallow propaganda.
Masses of people do not instantly leave their ancient homeland at the push of a button, for no reason.
The film does not mention the various limitations imposed on the Jewish communities over the centuries, including first and first-most restricting them to the "Mellach".
It also does not mention anti-Jewish riots and massacres, in Fes, Casablanca, Settat, Oujda, and other places.
Also, no word on the emergence of the Moroccan national liberation movement in the 1940s/50s/60s as pan-Arabic / pan-Islamic, excluding the Jews from the vision of future Morocco.
This film does not help a real discussion of the history of the Jews in Morocco.
+Shlomo Perets Islamic system was not bad for the Jews. From the time of Muhammad(puh) Jews were given the right to be judges according to the Law of what they believe to be the Torah .
+azadam1000 Are you perhaps referring to the dhimmi status, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi ?
And what about secular residents who do not want to be affiliated with any religion?
all I am saying is that religious Jews were free to judge each other according to their way of life . In secular countries they have one law for all . As for secular well you don't have to be atheist to be secular . There are lots of religions which do not cover all aspects of life so you can say there are many secular religions.
every human is religious in some form. For example atheists abide to changes taking place in the ''allmighty'' cosmos and in it counts what is possible and not but still they refer to terms as equality and condemn slavery even though slavery can be beneficial . It is this social pressure which makes them say that slavery is wrong . But people like to talk and forget truth which is more important.
Morocco isn't Arab. Moroccans are genetically berbers and Jews are our friends and brothers. We are against the Islamic anti semitism.
If having an Islamic heritage means we are Arab then Indonesia is Arab too.
The moroccan Card wasn't complet, in this Videos, The moroccan Sahara was been delected, Why??? The Sahara is Moroccan . Ibtissam
No
Nice to know that 'some' of the adopted tribes of Africa have purged hearts and don't merely miss it for foreign economic reasons....

Moi aussi cher cousin je veux finir mes années au Maroc au revoir
Jews of Morocco, Morocco has been your home for over 2500 years. It will always be your home away from home. Your second home, but Israel is your eternal home/inheritance and home of your ancestors. Never get fooled. Never give up your Israeli citizenship. FYI, my mother was an Amazighi of Jewish origin, and my father was half Sephardi. I was raised as Muslim and in public schools we have been brainwashed to hate the Jews. In fact, my Lycee was near ORT (the Jewish Lycee). We used to go terrorize them, throwing rocks at their school and harass their girls. We did the same in my neighborhood of Zerqtouni toward the Jews at Lycee Lyautey. I was STUPID and, in our family, they hid the fact that we were originally Jews, converts to Islam. Now, I identify as a Messianic Zionist Jew. Although I didn't move to Israel, my son and my grand children are Israeli citizens and I'm proud of my son being an IDF soldier. Am Israel Chai. I love Morocco too and I strongly believe it will be Israel's twin sister when Moshiach returns. YHWH will reward the Moroccan people for protecting the Jews and hosting us for 2500 years. God bless Israel, Morocco and the USA.
Sahara is moroccan
