Why Palestine Matters to the Islamic World | Al Muqaddimah

For the Islamic world (at least the public), there is nothing but the utmost support for the Palestinians. It is one of the very few things that most Muslims support so passionately. Why is that?

I'm a Palestinian Christian and this video really made me feel support for my people. And everything you're saying is pretty much true, except, The part where you said that in the early 1900s it was 90% muslims, There was actually over 20% christians at that time. We lived together in peace for centuries

[@YouTubeCensorshipStinks]

From my understanding, many faiths lived there just fine. It's the ideology of Z-ism that has poisoned everything.

[@realorbust]

It was 33% Christian in 1900. Yes Christian and Jews lived in peace with Muslims as Dhimmis.

[@thecanaanite]

@@realorbust actually no, no more than 20 to 25% were Christians in 1900. All evidence shows that. Also, in 1900s after WW1 palestinians didn't have dhimmis. My family has been there's since Jesus, even before. Rather be a free dhimmi than under occupation

[@madhegelian4816]

[@otho69AD]

To those dismissing this video for being "biased" yeah, it absolutely is. If you were listening you would have heard him literally admit that towards the start of the video. Believe it or not, it's actually pretty natural to be somewhat biased when it's your brothers and sisters dying by the thousands every single day.

​@@montypythonatorhe is not wrong, he gave citation for the information

[@montypythonator]

@@ibrahimmohammedibrahim9273 so what? Citations don't mean anything when you're cherry picking facts and information while weaving a tale of lies and half truths. I can find you a dozen citations that claim a man can be a woman. Under the Ottomans, the Levant was 20% Christian, not 10%. The Ottomans had conquered the region so how does it make them legitimate or the British illegitimate? The Ottomans moved people from all over their empire into that territory for labor, so how exactly does it make that land theirs, but not Israel's? Palestine was never a state, and the concept of a nation state is a European invention that only arrived in the Middle East only after world war II. The same UN that you're appealing to right now is the same you and that created Israel as well as all of the other surrounding Arab states. This is just a taste of the deliberate misunderstanding of History that's on display in this video. The real reason is that you guys can't claim to be the greatest people of the greatest religion in the world when you're beat by some dirty kufirs. It's basically an entire civilization throwing a temper tantrum claiming "how dare you kick me out of the nightclub, don't you know who my prophet is?" We do and we're not impressed.

[@nzx.]

@@ibrahimmohammedibrahim9273 implying jewish claims of indigeneity are somehow less than christian and muslim claims to indigeneity is not factual. the way i see it is, there were polytheist canaanites first, then a sub group branched out to become Judaism by adhering to monotheism and that became widespread. then those jews keep getting ousted out of canaanite lands and they keep trying to return to it, at some point some leave to europe and intermix a bit and become today's ashkenazim and sephardim while some still stayed in the general location of the middle east and are now called mizrahim. coming back to canaan, regarding most of the people who stayed back converted to christianity eventually and then when islamic conquests happened, arabic was adopted alongside the religion with some remaining christian and some staying jewish. when jews now want to return to that land, that is not equivalent to the english colonising india

As a german I'm all too aware of "our" part in this drama. Sadly we can't do all that much about it. Our politicians and public media are heavily biased towards the israeli POV. Whenever someone openly criticises Israel and their actions (not the israeli people, mind you, just their politicians), then Israel and/or their supporters are very quick to pull the german N-word card and you can't win against that. Yes, our ancestors did horrible, undeniable, inexcusable things to jews and others, but it's been 80 years now. The no-no-germans are all dead or almost dead. How long will the Israeli keep playing the victims and refer any responsibility for their actions to others? I'm quite sick of this mentality.

The Jews are the #indigenous people of the Holy Land. Israel is an "indigenous rights" success story that arose out of the DEFEAT of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. It's a pity that the Kurds and Assyrians didn't also get the right to reconstitute their ancestral homelands at that time. Instead, the Arabs got 99% of the land, today's Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Maybe in the future there will be more indigenous rights successes?

Watching from New Zealand. The Palestine solidarity movement would be a broad front consisting of the political left, Arabs, Muslims, progressive Jews, non-evangelical Christians, and Maori activists. Maori activists see an affinity with the Palestinian experience with colonialism. In NZ, the Palestine solidarity movement isnt solely a Muslim movement but a diverse united front. The pro-Israel movement in NZ consists of the political right, evangelical Christians, and the traditional Jewish institutional organisations.

I’ve made 2 sectarian motivated comments on this video already so I think I’ve fulfilled my duty as a Jew, so now I wanna share a funny perspective I’ve heard living in the USA from the Christian Americans who support Israel more than I do: I was at dinner with some family friends around November of last year and Israel-Palestine was brought up. Me being the historian at the table just kinda silently stared as conservative Christian family and friends talked about the horrible things Hamas was doing and how Gaza should be reduced to rubble. They looked to me for obvious validation as I am viewed as the go-to family expert on the topic, with me being Jewish as well and were shocked and annoyed when I countered their support for Israel with ‘should they have not been prepared to suffer the consequences of taking and settling the land? Better yet land that close to where Palestinians have been contained to like a quarantine?’ In the words I used at the time “Those who would take the sovereignty of others, should be prepared to have their sovereignty taken.” And I mentioned that what Palestine has done to Israeli citizens is just one more case of the many mutual acts of unnecessary violence between the two groups, and stated that whatever harm that was done to Israelis would be returned in tenfold within a year. Turns out it only took 6 months. Not trying to be a pickme here, I am still without a doubt a Zionist. I just refuse to play the game of disinformation like many have, including on this video, simply out of individual dignity. But I thought this would be a fun story to share.

But the fact that he claims he’s Zionist over Jewish means he of course, supports the political movement of Zionism and therefore the partition of the state or Palestine and its indigenous people.

If you are assuming there would be some negativity because Matt is Jewish, you might be wrong. Jewish Voices for Peace is a huge group protesting the genocide and 2-3 of the biggest channels covering this and interviewing Palestinians or activists are run by Jewish KZbinrs. The Majority Report with Sam Seder(leftist news channel where one of the hosts has cried multiple times on air for Palestine), Katie Hepler(who was fired from her old job for support of Palestine), Bad Hasbara(a channel run by a stand-up comedian making fun of Israeli propaganda), Norm Finkelstien is a frequent guest on these shows and is one of the biggest calmest voices debunking Israeli propaganda. There are many Jewish people who back Palestine even to the point of calling for a one state solution but traditional Muslims who don't go into leftist spaces will probably not see them. The Majority Report even did an interview about Imran Khan and the rigged Pakistani elections including how the US was involved.

To people watching Al Muqaddimah for the first time, if it seems like Syawish is ignoring Islamic empires/imperialism, he covers them in his other videos. I recommend watching his other videos too as they provide IMO an unbiased and equally critical/analytical narrative on many different Islamic history topics. His videos on Aurangzeb and Slavery are especially good. Edit: Just to add, some of Syawish’s criticisms of old Islamic empires would probably alienate Islamic conservatives too. I think he deserves credit for talking about delicate subjects in a way that will (rightly) alienate “both sides” for its objective approach.

Of anyone is a theif there It's the ottoman landlords. 2. The expulsions in 47/48 were mutual. Jews were ddriven out of the whole arab world. This needs accounting for in any eventual peace. Those people and the descendents have no other place to go. 3. Claims of "native", "indigenous" or "loved there for evere". This doesn't realy work becuase the jews are also native to that very same land.

Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran have all committed cultural genocide against Kurds at some point in the last 60 years yet the plight of those Muslims is not covered as much both in the Middle East and by ppl from the region whom live in Europe / America. Why is a group that’s been left stateless cause of imperial outside powers that’s Muslim been left behind by fellow Muslims? Fully understand the Palestinian Israeli issue and why it’s important, if all life is important and justice is at the heart of global society why has Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq not allowed for Kurdish self rule? And why does the west not know about these stateless people that have been suppressed and live under oppressive regimes that banned their language not that long ago

[@yrobtsvt]

I support Kurdish self-rule but the answer to this is very simple, cultural expression and ethnic sovereignty are different discussions than simply the right to exist in one's home.

[@implying6915]

Israel is very good at provoking the caveman instincts of dumb goyim (racial and religious) to keep them occupied with fighting each other. Hence why they first put the freemason atatürk in power who discriminated against kurds and then backed kurdish efforts at fighting against turkey with weapons, i would advise you to promote unity and respect between the two and not hostilities.

[@Getcakedieyoung23]

Muslims don’t care about Kurds having their lands taken away and being oppressed because they are oppressed by other Muslims. It’s good as long as Muslims are in power. The only problem they have with Israel is that it’s a country run by Jews. If Israel was a Muslim country doing the same thing to the Palestinians than no one in the Muslim world would care about Palestine.

[@Omer1996E.C]

Are you OK? You're comparing ethnic rights to basic human and civil rights!!! Who said we support Palestinian nationalism? We only support the struggle of Palestinians who are fighting to protect and extend their basic, Islamic and civil rights. Had Palestine been part of Jordan or Egypt for example, we wouldn't have made all these weeps. And the same goes for the Kurds, that's why we only nominally support it In an Islamic perspective: I support the kurds in protecting their basic rights, but not nationalistic rights, no Muslim people should have a nationalistic independence movement, except to protect their civil or religious rights

[@raquetdude]

@@Omer1996E.C well the Kurds were attacked by Iraqi military with chemical weapons, bared from using their own language on their own land, hand their democratically elected mayors arrested within the nations they live, I could go on… but no not just their ethnic rights but their human and civil rights… unless “freedom to not be targeted with chemical weapons” is an ethnic right?

[@user-kf8fl5rm3s]

The answer to your questions is quite simple. The Jews are seen by the eyes of the Muslim as the weakest people on earth, as the most fragile and most pathetic, because of that it is the holy duty of the Muslim to control them and dominant them. Muslims killing each other is fine, but when a Jew kills even 1/1000 that amount, it becomes shameful for Muslims, because they were defeated by an inferior enemy.

[@pangolimazul6055]

There is a reason why Latin America also consistently supports Palestine, we have had to deal with european colonialism and american colonialism since before the existence of our people. I still think the video could have been a bit more nuanced though, although I fully support the palestinian position we have to be aware that massacres happened on bith sides before the Nabka and all loss of life is a tragedy, it just so happened that early Zionist Israel was supported by the west and was able to commit a bigger atrocity. We should condemn any atrocities no mayter who perpetrated it.

[@juliano9566]

While the is some nuance to be found, if sufficiently sought, the overall numbers are dismaying.

[@EmirAbdKadder]

Calling out evil from all aspects is in line with the Sunnah, thus it's crucial for Muslims worldwide to speak out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine, as hypocrisy is a grave sin. However, this obligation extends beyond religious boundaries to encompass all individuals facing genocide, oppression, and other injustices globally. If the Muslim community truly adheres to the teachings of the Quran and the authentic Hadiths, then it holds a responsibility to advocate for the liberation of all oppressed people, recognizing that anyone, regardless of their faith, deserves support. Also to remember that anyone regardless of their background, can be seen as a potential Muslim. It's imperative to avoid succumbing to tribalism in this and other conflicts and instead denounce injustice wherever it occurs. Whether it's the governments of Iran, America, Russia, Europe, Asia, Africa, or particularly Arab states, Muslims have a duty to defend human rights and refuse to be manipulated as political tools by state actors. This being said, Muslims have a duty to peacefully and forcefully combat oppression against themselves following the rules accordingly.

[@Animeminer]

Nice video my friend hope people learn more about the history of this conflict through this video

[@bradhorowitz2765]

A pretty interesting video, personally hearing an issue form a different perspective is interesting. But I do wish to argue against a few points; . 1)the idea that the current Middle East question is more or less a result of western conflict/imperialism exploitation is not necessarily accurate. The west was not necessarily against Islamic influence per se. It depended on the conflicts. Obviously I am not saying there wasn’t any superiority complex or bigotry. It ignores the imperialism that the Islamic empire forced upon numerous tribes, ethnic groups, etc. thar conquest did change the demographics of religiosity in the areas (and no this is not me judging them, it’s a historical fact) in fact the Ottoman Empire, as the years continued, suppressed any notions of nationalism or even ethnicity/religious self-determination. This clearly cannot be described as solely a “western imperialistic” campaign. The result was that perhaps the potential for peaceful resolutions to internal conflicts was halted. And that more extremist versions of nationalism grew as a response to massive crackdowns. This is where Arab nationalism more or less seems to have grown out of. Then of course ww1 changed the game. The Middle East changed from one massive imperialist power to numerous states, some with western control. There was no one single power dictating what was going to happen. Even the idea that the British favored Jews ignores the real restrictions the Brit’s placed on Jews for immigration and power as the various Zionist nationalists fought against the Brit’s. The Brit’s is general were so incompetent and clueless as to how to handle this territory which was becoming an epicenter for nationalism. Which is how they usually are. 2)can we really say that this cause is fully supported by the Islamic world? The reason I ask that is that looking at the history of Palestine, it’s very up in the air. Depending on which nations support it and the context. Did Jordan support Palestine when it once went to war with the PLO (forcing some of its members to flee in lebenon which then spiked into civil war?).for whatever reason middle way nations have never really seemed to say movie to explicitly set up a Palestinian country independent. Even Egypt, under nasser, under its pro-arab vision seemed to be willing behind the scenes to Leave Palestinians without a realistic chance to form.a new government. . The Middle East Cold War of the post war years (and then the second Cold War following the Islamic revolution), really has made the region so complicated of understanding who wants what and who really cares about certain issues.

[@searchingfortruth4783]

I imagine many of the sentiments about how Muslims have been treated in the last 150 years, were very similar for many Christians during the Islamic conquests. Particularly I am thinking of the Spanish population when it was invaded and the subsequent reconquista. It really does appear that the only truth is ‘Might is right’ , unless you are willing to become secular, which very few religious people will consider.
