Jewish Comedian Explains Difference Between Jews

Comedian Ari Shaffir, fresh off his latest special 'Jew' joins Andrew Schulz & Flagrant to discuss the differences in Jewish people and their respective histories.

[@koopon3900]

Correction: Sephardi Jews absolutely did suffer the holocaust. Greek, Spanish, Italian and Balkan Jews, all of whom are Sephardi, were decimated. Those in North Africa (Morocco, Libya, Tunisia) and the ME were spared due to their location.

Italian, Greek, and Balkan Jews are not Sephardic exclusively. Sephardic is an ancient term for the territory of Hispania(which is Portugal and Spain). Sephardic Jews are from the Iberian peninsula and some parts of North Africa.

[@anasnemmassi3459]

Moroccan jews were protected not due to their location, but because they were Moroccan citizens and so were under the protection of the king.

[@leil107]

In fact, if you listen to the Moroccan Jews or those who lived with the Arabs, you will find them saying that the Jews of Europe always try to make the history and past of the Jews a single experience, while this is not true. In Iraq, for example, there were Jewish ministers, and in Egypt too they had a high regard for trade, cinema and other things, but European Jews wanted to make the Holocaust as if it happened to all Jews, while this is not true at all. I even remember one of the Moroccan Jews when he talked about the experience of his parents when they came to Israel, he said that the white Jews used to treat the Jews of East and North Africa as if they were Arab Muslims! They mistreated them severely and tried to erase their Arabic language, their culture, and everything related to their identity as Jews in the Arab region.Some of them even changed their names and the names of their fathers from their original Arabic names to Hebrew names!

[@JerusalemIfi4getU]

Lol funny convo & love the banter like always. Many Sephardim did perish in the Holocaust in lands that were occupied by Hitler that had historic Sephardic communities like the Balkans as Hitlers final solution was to murder all Jews. And for those wondering on the wider scope of things, the only difference between different Jewish groups is where they lived in Diaspora/where they were scattered to by the Different Empires of the past most notably Rome & Babylonians. Over the millennia different Jewish “Subcultures” developed in those lands

[@thomashauer6804]

yes this clip is such a low conversation ..trying to be funny too hard without making any sense ofc ari survived 911..he went dancing comment gone?

[@kimurico1]

A little odd that Ari has so much of this wrong but here it goes: 1 - sephardic jews are the ones descended from the ones expelled from Spain and Portugal after 1492. Many settled afterwards in France, Italy, northern Africa, southern Balkans, mostly Greece and Turkey. Some made it all the way to Syria, Palestine, Iraq, but many if not most of the jewish people that were east of Turkey before those few sephardics made it there actually descend from jews that had never left that region in the first place. So Iranian jews were mostly non sephardic, most Iraqi jews too, Syrian jews I'd guess less than half will be sephardic. 2 - many sephardic jews had left Turkey/Ottoman Empire during the first decades of the XX century, and there were HUGE sephardic communities especially in France, smaller ones in Italy, Belgium, Nederlands, so take that PLUS the already big sephardic communities in Yugoslavia and Greece and you'll realise that they absoultely were part of the Holocaust. Of course the numbers are not as big as the Ashkenazis because the majority of jews in France would still be of German descent, plus all the ones from Germany and Austria, and over two million from Poland, PLUS the ones living in the occupied USSR. 3 - somebody in the comments mentioned something about citizenship. Some turkish jews that had retained their turkish citizenship instead of becoming french or belgian citizens had an advantage, I guess because Germany respected turkish citizens out of Turkey being an ally of Germany during WWI, I'm not really sure (with "advantage" I mean that some were not killed on arrival to the camps, basically, and a bunch were sent back to Turkey after some time in the camps rather than being straight up shot or walked to death when the russians started approaching).

[@BeranM]

Well, I think we can all agree that no matter what kind of Jew it is, they are super cool and stuff, because ALL JEWS totally rock! I'm thankful that God made them the Chosen Ones. They do so much for society. We wouldn't have roads or buildings or homes or motor vehicles or really anything that civilizes a society without the Jews. Though I must say whoever came up the bacon-double-cheeseburger was also brilliant beyond measure but it couldn't have been a Jew (or a Muslim) because they forbid themselves from consuming delicious pork products.

[@etamlous]

Jews in Greece, Italy and France are mainly of Sepharadi decent and those countries during WWII collaborated with Nazi Germany and there were deportations of Sepharadi Jews to German concentration camps. So historically speaking, some Sepharadi populations were victims of the Holocaust. As for pre-Holocaust history, Sepharadi Jews faced many pogroms, expulsions and discrimination through different periods in Muslim majority countries. It’s not like they never faced violence and mass murders in history.

[@bigploppa154]

while youre not wrong you make it sound as if discrimination was the norm. jews lived far more peacefully under muslim rule than christian rule prior to the seljuk conquering of the levant. the seljuks arrived and had no knowledge or respect for the degree of holiness in the city of jerusalem where as prior to that the muslims had done this. seljuks massacred christians jews and non-conforming muslims, and were retaliated against with the crusades. without any knowledge of the sacredness of the city, the seljuks managed to turn the holy land into a battlefield for the next millenium

There is a bit of a mixup but it's easy to explain: Ashkenazi Jews are from central and eastern Europe, Sephardi Jews are from the Iberian peninsula, Italy, the Balkans and Northern Africa, and Mizrahi Jews are from the Middle East. However, Mizrahim get conflated with Sephardim because they often follow the same customs and are generally closer culturally. Then there are many smaller groups (Circassians, Mountain Jews, Roman Jews etc) but they're a very small percentage. Also, Sephardic Jews were also killed in the Holocaust, many from Greece, Italy, France, Yugoslavia and the Netherlands died in the camps.

[@AntonAdelson]

For the record, my grandparents were in Iraq (Bagdad) and had to flee for their lives to Israel due to the persecution they were facing. This was in 1949. They had family members made to 'disappear' and another who was hanged in the street from a lamp post. My great grandparents could never escape so my grandma never saw them again after she left Iraq at age 14. They didn't experience the holocaust first hand in Iraq, though had Hitler not been stopped, you can be sure they'd have been killed too for their beliefs. The antisemitism born of the holocaust continues to percolate in society so in that regard they were effected but not directly. Also, technically those Jews from middle east are termed 'Mizrahi' which means 'from the east' while those from Spain and further south are Sephardic.

[@danijudy92]

Truth. I'm half Ashkenazi from Berlin and half Sephardic from Baghdad. One side escaped before the camps in 1939 after kristalnacht. The rest of the family perished. And for my other side in Baghdad it was time to go when the public hangings started. They had to leave everything behind, only the clothes on their back. Many Arab countries started tossing their Jews after 1948. Hundreds of thousands of refugees.

[@Tigerkiller12]

​@@danijudy92 The vast majority of people throughout history are poor and uneducated. Although education is reaching farther today, poverty is still ongoing. What is a common trait poverty stricken people have? They want to point fingers at other people. Right before WW1, Zionists backed by the leadership of the British government agreed that the Jews needed a state to live in. Zionists started buying land in Palestine. The Ottoman empire was collapsing and it was a golden opportunity. The Ottoman empire owned the majority of Palestine, being the controlling state. The Palestinians we're not consulted at all during this time. Up until 1948, a Lebanese dude and his family had great ties with the Ottomans, and he had a bunch of land in Palestine. 25% of Zionist property came from this man alone during this period. The land was not empty at all. Many plots consisted of swathes of villages, and they we're now controlled by the Zionists. The Zionists and the Ottomans tried to kick people out and then the British helped them too. Where did the anti jewish sentiment come from? Well, people are moving in and kicking people out claiming to be the new landlord created commotion especially having lived in a place for hundreds of years. The neighbouring countries are getting Palestinian refugees that are hating on jews and all of a sudden jews are unliked in the middle east. Remember, 90% of people are sheeple. I'm a Lebanese/arab muslim and I'm open to all people, and my openness is due part to the education and being introduced to all kinds of people throughout my life. I hope this answers your question on why the anti jewish sentiment was natural.

I know you guys are comedians and that all this is ment to be funny, as a Mizrahi (north african) Israeli Jew I love the jokes and talk but I just want to give a little background info for you guys, it's true that mideas Jews didnt go through the holocaust the way you think about it as taught in American schools (sadly Israelis too) there were no train carts to concentration camps (for the most part) or any such things, but the Jews there did live under Nazi occupation (like my grandparents) and while it's true that there was no mass extermination there it's due, to the most part, the arab/north african countries didnt actually have formal registries of who lives where and what religion they are like in Europe, it was a much more tribal and regional thing in that part of the world, something that makes orgnized transport and concentration logistically impossible and unpractical as German hold over north africa was never as secure as it was in central Europe, but with all that said Mizrahi Jews did not only live under Nazi occupation for the duration of the war there were also many instances of the local population pogroming them during the war usually with the arrival of the Germans in town as a token of loyalty to the German ideology, and sometimes as an expression of feeling held back for centuries, the most obvious example is the "Farhud" which was basically a small scale holocaust that took place in Iraq over half a year in 1941 in which Jews were massacred in mass , their property taken, they were concentrated and imprisoned for months without food or water, so while it's true mideas Jews did not go through the European model of holocaust we weren't having fun chilling with the muslims, trust me, and yes we can talk about it. love you guys

Good to seeing you guys having this conversation. Although a lot of false "information" here. The leader of the Palestinians (The Grand Mufti) toured a concentration camp and offered the Jews of the Middle East to Hitler and Eichmann. Jews in Iraq suffered the Farhood and between 1945 -1948 there were massacres of Jews in Aden (Yemen), Tripoli (Lebanon) and Aleppom(Syria) to name a few. Jews suffered centuries of discrimination in the Arab World. The fact that it didn't culminate in the Holocaust marks a difference is scale but not in discrimination. However, today Sephardim, Ashkenazim, Bene Israel and Mizrahim are all brothers and sisters in Israel.

[@eyalerlich8484]

Yes I agree, this conversation was so wrong historically. Tens of thousands of Jews from the Baltic states were murdered by the Germans and their accomplices. Plus, many Sephardic Jews moved across Europe after the 1492 Jewish expulsion from Spain. About 15,000 to 20,000 Jews were forced into internment or labor camps in Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. About 500 Libyan Jews were killed, and some expelled were later sent to Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany.

There is no time limit in the definition of colonialism so the British will always be considered colonialists in Australia. And the Palestinians are no exception. the Arabs conquered Palestine by force in the seventh century and brought a different language, a different culture and a different genetics. The origin of Arab genetics, Arab culture, the Arabic language and the religion of Islam is in the Arabian Peninsula, therefore the Palestinians are not indigenous by definition. On the other hand, the Jews are considered native to the Levant (Palestine) according to the definition because the Hebrew language, the Jewish religion, and the genetic origin of 40% Jews in Israel originated in the Levant (Palestine). They did not come from outside, they were created in the Levant (Palestine). Hebrew is the only Canaanite language that survived. Today most of the Jews in Israel are not Europeans. Although historically European Jews founded Israel and were the majority in its early days. In addition, Jews lived in Palestine as a minority but continuously before the Arabs before Islam and Christianity. If the arabs didnt start the 1948 war there were no refugee in both side.!! The arabs start the 1948 war...! expelling 100% of the indigenous jewish community of Bethlehem and Jericho until today they dont permit the non european Jewish community to return to Bethlehem and Jericho..!!..!!!!

Iranian Jews are not Sephardic; they are Mizrahi Jews. Also, there was an attempt by the Hamdani Jews to get independence. However, they lost the war to Karim Khan Zand. Their last stand was in a castle in the city of Malayer. From 1890 to 1892, Jews and the crypt Muslims(Jews that converted to Shia) in the Khorasan and Hamadan states were targeted and made to wear rags and red armbands to distinguish them from the Muslim population. The only reason that some survived the killing was that the Jewish community intervened and paid Naser din, Shah of Qajar, to stop the massacre.

You are totally right, it's very stupid. Sephardim weren't even saved from the Holocaust. Sephardim (as well as Italkim and Romaniotes) from Greece to the Netherlands (and maybe as far north as Norway, as the first Jewish community there was Sephardic) suffered the same fate as Ashkenazim.

[@eyalerlich8484]

Yup you're right, this conversation was so wrong historically. Tens of thousands of Jews from the Baltic states were murdered by the Germans and their accomplices. Plus, many Sephardic Jews moved across Europe after the 1492 Jewish expulsion from Spain. About 15,000 to 20,000 Jews were forced into internment or labor camps in Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. About 500 Libyan Jews were killed, and some expelled were later sent to Bergen Belsen concentration camp in Germany.

"detached, kept apart, divided from the rest," c. 1600, from separate (v.) or from Latin separatus. Separate also was used as a past-participle adjective in Middle English, "cut off from the main body," also, of a spouse, "estranged." The meaning "individual, particular" is from 1670s, on the notion of "withdrawn or divided from something else," hence "peculiar to one but not others."
