Thats the history lesson that nobody at school gonna teach you that, thanks avi for speaking the truth
From iraq, with love

I’m an Arab Syrian and I met a Jewish mizrahi woman who came from my region. I saw her as a fellow native of Jewish faith and not just a “Jew”

[amlukewarm]

Much appreciation and respect too Avi. This just proves that Iraq is extremely diverse and wonderful. Iraqis aren’t just Arabs. There’s Jews, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Sabean, Yazidis, Kurds, Sunnis, Shias, etc etc. It’s unfortunate what conquer and divide has done to the country.

Europeans basically did a blunder and pushed it onto ARABS and they're still punishing them for thier own crimes 🤦

[sammyann]

They always dump their garbage ways onto other regions & call themselves champions of humanity!

Well said! We Moroccans also don't have a problem of co-existence with Moroccans Jews.... that a west problem and they try to convence us: "we can live in peace together" when the prophet Muhammed itself live with them in Saudia.

We as Iraqis are proud of you big brother!!!

This gentleman is correct. As an Iraqi American Christian, It honestly hurts. Hearing about the suffering my homeland had and still has. In Iraq you go back in history but your in the future. I love my ancient homeland and my people despite everything we've been through. I wish Iraq stayed secular, and pan-arabism with corruption haven't taken over.

[Unstoppable]

Tears come to my eyes, when i saw what invaders has done in iraq in 20 years, and destroyed this beautiful country.

This kind of voice will not heard or shown by wertern media. Bcs it is true and peacefully.

[jozette-pierce]

I am so happy the real Jews are speaking out, like this distinguished gentleman, and also esteemed American professor, Norman Finklestein.
They will provide the true story of this tragedy happening to the Palestinians.
PALESTINIANS must have their own country, exactly like the United Nations declared in the 1940s.

[sweetsarah]

I love this man. He's got such a sweet and gentle nature, and speaks the truth

[wyzeR]

love the humility in the way he speaks - Masha'Allah

[margaretneanover]

Believe his understanding. He is saying what he understands and knows. It's not many that had seen the past enough to say they loved enough and others filled the animosity .
