Living Moroccan in Jerusalem

Reuven Aberjel, one of the founders of the Black Panthers of Israel, takes us on a tour of the Moroccan neighbourhood of Jerusalem.
Aberjel points out the houses where Palestinians were evicted now inhabited by Arab Jews and some European Jews. He talks about the history of the Black Panthers in Israel and comments on the injustice of the occupation, the complicity of Arab countries, and his opinions on interests of Zionism and its elites.
You were born in Rabat Morocco, what are you doing in Israel?
I was born in Rabat in the Sheikh Daoud neighborhood, in the Mellah. In 1942. After 7 years, the Zionists started coming to the Mellah and all of Morocco. They came to our family. Our family left at the end of 1948, they followed the Zionists wherever they told them to go
Why?
Thats a quesiton we still dont understand today. How did the Jews of Morocco leave their country, the country they had lived well in for 2000 years. How did they just get up and leave one morning to go to a country where they dont know whats awaiting them. They gave up everything, only God knows why. Maybe because the Zionists worked hand in hand with the immigration officials of Morocco. Its incomprehensible, why would people just give up everything theyve had for 2000 years to go somewhere they dont know.
So if I ask you are you Moroccan or Israeli, what would you say?
Im Moroccan, always. I was born Moroccan and will die Moroccan.
You dont feel Israeli?
There is no such thing as Israeli. Even if you ask the best of Jews here, what does Israeli mean, theyll tell you I dont know. If you ask the Russian hell tell you Im from Russia, if you ask the Polish hell say Im from Poland, If you ask the Jew who came from Baghdad, hell tell you hes Iraqi. There is no such thing as Israeli, this word is a lie.
If I had money, I would go live in Morocco tomorrow. Id take my wife and kids and go live there. But I cant go there without my Moroccan papers. I went to the municipality in Morocco asking for my papers saying Im Moroccan, they said give us some proof that you are a national, I said the Zionists took all our papers. My parents were born here, I was born here, my grandparents were born here. They said maybe the French took your papers with them when they left to France. They only have on record the Jews who left after 1950. All of those who left/
And the Arabs here in Israel, are they helping the Palestinians or?
There is cooperation but politics makes it very difficult for them to succeed. Life is very difficult here, and the authorities know what theyre doing. They purposely differentiate between the people so they can fight eachother. Palestinians against other Palestinians, Arabs from Morocco against those from Yemen and Iraq. That way they let the people fight, while they sit back and rule over us. During those ten days I spent in Morocco, I asked people there what they thought of the situation here. They just said, we have our own problems, we cant really get involved with Palestine. Its their business. This is in Morocco, not even Egypt or Iraq or wherever. This is how I know that Palestinians are alone against the Zionists. So, for things to change, its not just on the Palestinians. All the Jews from Arab countries need to work together against this system that takes away not only land, it takes away peoples health, employs them for nothing. People are just living day to day, there is no money. Thats why everyone living here need to work together, there needs to be a revolution for things to change here.
Who needs to make this revolution happen?
The people! The Arab Jews, of whom 90 % live a bad life, and the Palestinians living in Israel, and the Palestinians under occupation. The roads are closed in on them, they cant even leave where they live, they need to ask permission for everything. Everyone has to stand against this situation.

@monster, So What. Since when did the Palestinians not get treated horribly by other Arab people? That is exactly why the Palestinians are so low in terrible conditions! Since when did that justify violence against the Original Inhabitants-The Jews. They were told by other Arabs to go take the land of Israel. So they have made war because of the Islamic revolution worldwide Arabs are in all sorts of countries doing this. They are at war because their sins are coveting, thieving, terrorism, murder. They will just get killed by J-hovah. Trust the Bible! Prophecy fulfillment and hatred and the rest of what they do is not going to go unpunished by G-D. And the Bible doesn't lie.

@Mr. Brown, you never met this Allah face to face, have you? I have personally been visited many times Constantly by the Real G-D Almighty and His Only Begotten Son, Y'Shua HaMaschiah!!! G-D Almighty The Father Almighty told me that His Name Is J-hovah, The Father Almighty, The Creator Almighty. I asked Him if His Name was Allah. He said, My Name is J-hovah, The Father Almighty, The Creator Almighty. Then I saw Jesus His Son come over and sit down Inside of The Father Almighty. Jesus Christ Just. DISAPPEARED. into the Father Almighty. As we say as Jews, Adonai Eloheinu ( more than one), Adonai Echad (our G-D is One). They. Are. One. And then The Father Almighty told me that He wanted me to be His Wayshower (A Prophetess). I just testified to you the Truth of G-D Almighty. Now think about that ...Have a good weekend. Shabbat Shalom.
