I’m Jewish and I came here from the “Moving in with a Jewish family” video. I’ve never been close to my family and they’re pretty assimilated into American culture, but I admire how close knit all you are and the culture your tradition brings out. Your very existence is an act of resistance and it’s beautiful and alive. I wish my family and my people see this video and see your obvious humanity because we’re cousins. We’re all from Avraham/Ibrahim and we just want to live our lives in peace. May your next prayers be held at al aqsa! ❤️

​@@shitzgiggles6456well, palestine word from (Philisitn) which was greek word, not latin . Philistia words refers to a people called ( philistins ) came from southern greek islands and settled in the south western part of the holy land ( in Gaza to Ashcalon) and they created their land call it ( kingdom of Philstia ) And there were in the same era ( Canaanites ) who were semitics, and lived in the eastern and northern part of the holy land. And Canaanites were the first civilization and nation even in the land. And they were friends to the philistines . Both people were pagans and mixed their cultures together and married with eachother. And jews or hebrews were not in the land yet. Philistines were a natural enemies for monotheistic hebrews, this is why philistines were anti- monotheism and the resist the hebrew occupation and judaization and they were huge enemies and mentioned in bible and many theological sources. Well, after the hebrew occupation to the land of Canaan They took a lot from the canaanite culture including language and faith . Yes pagan faith and mixed with the jewish one After long history of kingdom of israel after killing and corruption of israelis in the land . There were the Babylonian punishment . And jews left the land and romans because they hated jews ( kept the land on its name Palestine ) because the ancient Palestinians were the enemies of jews . And here we are

Speak for yourself, I have never treated anyone badly due to their ethnicity, race or religion. I'm from a biracial family and I had absolutely amazing parents who raised us to treat everyone with respect and to never judge before getting to know one's character. My parents had friends from all walks of life coming in and out of our home hung out with families from different Places. We were taught to never judge a group of people based on one person's actions. I have been to many countries and have learned throughout my life so much about others. It's what makes life beautiful!!

[@emircidic1464]

I'm glad that you've been accepted very well. Nothing different to expect from Palestinian family. I've seen that you have been confused with the prayer. It is an Eid's prayer that muslim do. Muslim pray to thank God for everything and it is obligation for every muslim. Every phase of the prayer means something different and it takes time to learn and to get to know what every part means. Anyhow it brings peace to the soul. Nicely done guys, this video brings happiness. Much love
