Yoseph Haddad is a proud Arab Israeli. He briefly visited New Zealand in February 2023. Dr Sheree Trotter had a conversation with him about his identity and background and addressed some of the common questions people ask about the Israel Palestinian conflict. Yoseph tells the story of his grandfather. Who was it that gave him orders to leave? What did he decide to do?

Palestine was a vast region in the Mideast. When the Ottomans lost WWI to the allies, their lands were given to the victorious allies France and Britain for administration. One part of Palestine was handed over to the British and called the Palestine Mandate, another part of Palestine was handed over to the French and called the Lebanon Mandate. The French and British created countries out of their respective mandates when they left Palestine. Lebanon is the most Christian nation in the Mideast. Israel is the most Jewish nation in the Mideast. And Jordan was created for Muslim Arabs, seemed very fair to the U.N. at the time. Lebanon and Israel are both plagued by terrorist, Hezbollah and Hamas respectively. Lebanon and Israel have a 75-year history of dealing with Muslim Arabs in their countries that won't accept the status quo. Israel gets all the press because the world is genuinely anti-Semitic, more so than anti-Christian, although in the Muslim world both will suffer.

In 2021 the Supreme Court in Israel upheld a law which states that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish People and, among other things, degrades the Arabic language, which prior to that was a co-official language in the country alongside Hebrew, to an auxiliary language. So, you are glad you can share your country with second-class citizens. But this guy seems happy about it, too, so it's ok.

I am calling the narrative of this Israeli Arab BS, as first the Palestinians already urged the British not let let more Jews in, as they predicted what would happen. This was long before 1948. Before 1948, Jews were at war with the Palestinians, not yet with Arab states like Egypt yet. They murdered the people in villages, like Deir Yassin. They murdered Folke Bernadotte, blew up the King David hotel. Why, because the wanted their own way on a bloody Bible story. It's a rogue state, who think they can do what ever they like. Israel is a Fascist state. I am not the only one whoi conclude such. Young people I spoke with are the worlds future. The have no affinity with the holocaust, they don't even believe in any religion.

A crash course on history of the PALESTINIAN STATE: 1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state 2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state. 4. Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state. 5. Before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state. 6.

Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, not a Palestinian state. 15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state. 16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state. 17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 18. Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 19. Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state. 20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE. (Borrowed from a friend) A little more history for those wanting to 'restore Palestine'. In 132 AD the Emperor Hadrian resolved to stamp the Jews and their religion out of existence. He sold all Jewish prisoners into slavery after the revolt of Bar Kikhba, forbade the teaching of the Torah, renamed the province Syria Palaestina, and changed Jerusalem’s name to Aelia Capitolina. He renamed Israel to wipe out the national identity of Israel and the Jews. So if you are looking to 'restore Palestine to the Palestinians', you need to give it back to the Jews. *copied comment*

These numbers show just how horrible it was that 700 000 of palestinians were evicted in 1948. Also when he says that the order to evict came from the arab leaders he doesnt see that they were forced to do that- obviously they didnt do it because they wanted to but because they had to, otherwise there wouldnt be a war. The fact that the world decided to create Israel on a land that already belonged to someone kinda sucks. The british promised arabs the land if they go against the ottoman empire, which they did but never received their reward, they promised part of it to France and they promised it to the jews and all of that before the land even belonged to them. And even if we say okay, Israel just exists, which on itself is not something Im against, they still occupy land that was agreed to not belong to them by the rest of the world and mainly, they treat those in gaza and west bank absolutely horribly for decades. Theres an awesome documentary about their horrible treatment from 2007 called: "israeli women soldiers give shocking testimonies about israeli army"

My family has several Israeli friends who were living and farming in present day Israel years before the 1947 war. They in turn had Arab neighbors and they were all friends. Their kids played together and went to school together (yes, Arabs and Israelis had school systems that served everyone in the village). The British did not like this and they sided with the Arab politicians and religious leaders. Accordingly, the British soldiers did their best to disarm the Israeli farmers and shop keepers. When Independence came about the so called Arab Leaders told all Arabs to leave the area with the promise that once the Arab armies wiped out the (unarmed or poorly armed) Jewish settlers the Arab farmers and herders could return to take over the Jewish farms. When the Arab armies were beaten there was no welcome home extended to the Arabs that left. The Israelis believed they could not be trusted. The Arabs that stayed were given citizenship and they were also given all the rights and privileges of the Israeli people. They all became Israelis. The so-called Palestinians are in reality the offspring of those who left “knowing” when the war was over and all the Israelis had been killed they could just come back and reap the spoils of war. The Arab leaders are still telling the people that once the Israelis are wiped out they can return to claim that which they did not build.

Because the Christian patriarch vehemently opposed this suggestion, Omar fixed their number at 70. Omar gave these Jewish families their own area in Jerusalem, located in what is now the Jewish Quarter of the Old City.

The reason for the Israeli siege on Gaza is because Hamas keeps launching rockets and executing terror attacks on Israelis since 2006, and also earlier. In 2005, Israel withdrew from all of the Gaza Strip. Since then, Gaza is not an occupied territory, and the Palestinians were free to do in Gaza whatever they want. The government of Israel expected that after the withdrawal from Gaza, a peaceful age would begin. If that were the case, then Israel would withdraw also from the West Bank, and a two-state solution would be implemented. Gaze was a test case for this new policy of Israel. However, in 2006, the Hamas took control of Gaza, and started attacks on Israel without any provocation by Israel. As a response to this, Israel implied a siege on Gaze in 2006. Also preventing construction of an Air-port and sea-port in Gaze strip. All the goods going into Gaze are allowed only from Israel, from "Erez path" after a careful security inspection. The reason for all those limitations is to reduce the ability of Hamas to import weapons on a large scale, as well as construction materials for weapons. The first paragraph of the Hamas treaty calls for the destruction of Israel, no matter what peace solution will be presented to them. Israel has always asked for Peace, but the Palestinians as a whole, asked for war. In 1947, there were about 600,000 Jews living in Israel. The land they were leaving on was purchased legally from some Arabic landowners. No land was taken under power. The Jews needed land, as no other country wanted them after the holocaust that ended in 1945. Shortly afterward, on the 29th of November 1947, the UN proposed to divide the land of Israel into two states, while giving the Arabs a much larger area. The Arabs refused to that plan, and opened a multi-nation war against the 600,000 Jews who lived in Israel at that time. The Arab nations called the Arabs who lived here to leave the land, and return after the Jews will be wiped out. However, against all odds, the Jews defeated the Multi-Arab nation war in 1948. In 2001 there were peace talks, Israel, led by Ehud Barak, was willing to withdraw from Gaze and from the West Bank, but Yaser Arafat refused that peace plan. He wanted the whole of Israel, without a single Jew in it. The same happened again in 2008, when Mahmud-Abas, refused to similar offer from Israel. One can say that the 2 million Arabs who live in Gaza Strip should not suffer from the policy of the Hamas. In 2006 Hamas was elected in a democratic election. During the 17 years Hamas has been ruling Gaza, there was not a single protest against the Hamas government, nor a request of the residents of Gaze to the world, to end Hamas's leadership on the Strip. The Israelis want a peaceful life, side by side with the Arabs. However, the more Israel surrendered to the Arabic demands, the more terror and attacks it got in response. This is why Israel has no choice but to be aggressive against anyone who tries to destroy it. Israel has tried the peaceful alternative over and over, and was always disappointed by the Palestinians.

Thank you very much for revealing this, your family's story Yoseph! I must shamefully admit that I once supported the so called 'Palestinian cause' over the Israeli one (when I was young, naive and not very well-versed in history - to my 'defense'), although wasn't really 'passionate' about it (I guess I grew up in an environment where I just assumed that 'so many ppl can't be wrong..?). However, I'm now much more well-read, informed and not so young anymore....and I must say that at least from what I've understood so far - it is not looking so great anymore for the so called 'Palestinian cause'! I'm not saying now that there are "no innocent civilians" amongst the Palestinian people - of course there are. There always is. But it is still a fact that all the Palestinians are governed by non-democratic, fundamentalistic and violent Islamists! And I don't believe that there can ever be peace and peaceful coexistence in the region - as long as the Palestinian people either do not de- & renounce that kind of Islamist 'ideology', or refuse to let themselves be led by criminal, barbaric and corrupt Islamists!! Also - I feel that Islamism (as well as all 'extremist ideologies') is surely becoming a serious threat to and in all 'Western' democracies....and we need to 'adress that' - as soon as possible! Which means that both so called 'political correctness' as well as the gloves must go. For all our sakes (irrespective of ethnicity, religious identity, etc..). Well, that's MHO anyways. Love from Sweden - and my support to the people of the democratic state of Israel (again, irrespective of religious inclination - if any ;-) )!

When teh 1948 war ended, and Israerl was recognized by teh US and other countries, David ben Gurion asked the displaced Arabs to come home. He is on newsreel saying so, and wrote an official letter confirming it. Many Arabs returned. Many did not. Those that did not became the first generation of Arab refugees in those infamous camps.

@@bitiaaflalo9829 I found it by accident after the Oct7th massacre, while generally searching KZfaq for media on the history of the Middel East. It was in a longer video shot just after the 1948 Israeli victory against the Arab Legion to re-establish the State of Israel. Since the Oct 7th, with world opinion now strongly condemning Israel, it has apperantly been washed by the censors at Google. I cannot find it after several attempts. Ben Gurion clearly stated an invitiation for the residents to return to their homes and take part in the building of Israel. He stated that they were needed and would not face any government sanctions for being Arabs. He was holding an open letter which he said contained his verbal invitation. I assume that letter was to the UN. I do NOT believe that David Ben Gurion or any of the Jewish leaders at the time were angels. They were in a fight for the survival of the remianing Jews on earth after the Holocaust, and did things that needed to be done - including forced removal of 700,000 Arabs to the front lines of the Arab Legion forces. Manachem Begin would be considered a terrorist by todays standards and was by the British in 1947. But, he shook hands with Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, who was later killed for making peace with Israel. We live in a time of unprecedented information, but at the same time - it is manipulated in an unprecedented way.

Everyone? Why? It will not convince the educated. It certainly did not convince someone like me, who has studied the subject from all sides and angles for decades. All it will do is condition the impressionable, the ignorant or the racist, who will buy this ridiculous narrative. The majority of us who are actually educated on the matter see the 1947 UN decision precisely for what it is, a European plan for colonizing part of the Middle East. Thankfully, the truth is finally coming out and support for Palestinians, the ONLY rightful natives of the land of Palestine, is increasing as an exponential rate. It is only a matter of time before Israel undergoes the same process as South Africa. I see only one viable, sustainable and moral outcome to current problem. The "two state solution" is dead. There just isn't a way to divide such a small land into two countries. Not that it matters since Israel has allowed a million settlers into the West Bank to illegally occupy several pockets of the land, turning the West Bank into an unviable, Swiss-cheese terrain. As such, Israel and Palestine will merge and form one country for Palestinians and European Jews. Yes, Yoseph Haddad is Palestinian, whether he likes it or not. For that to happen, Israel will have to make a lot of concessions, starting with a strong apology, and reparations, to the Palestinian people. Palestinians will have to be granted completely equal rights as Israelis. Israel must also return all the lands it has occupied to Syria and Lebanon. Under those conditions, Israel will be able to proceed with a comprehensive peace with all of its neighbors, most notably Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Freedom fighting organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah must be completely dismantled, and their more extreme cells must be dealt with, forcefully if necessary, by their own governments.

Thank you! I visited Israel as a tourist before the current war and came to understand that what he says is absolutely true, and that even -or perhaps especially - in this war, Arab and Jewish friendships are being maintained. What a different truth to what is being promoted! Blessings to you 🙏

I had the same experience. I specifically sought out Arabs living in Jerusalem to learn about life there. I was surprised to learn that, as Arab-Israeli citizens, they have exactly the same rights as their Jewish neighbors. They vote, go to the same schools, come and go as they please and live productive peaceful lives. I no longer believe the propaganda I see in US media.

Thank you Mr Haddad. You said the right thing. My Jewish great grand father lived in Bosnia and was saved by Muslim and Christian Bosnians during WW II. Before Milosevic, Bosnia was a country where all religions lived peacefully, as also told by my grandaunt and my uncle who lived there.

You can't steal something that has already been yours for 4,000 years.

Somebody also has to own whatever it is your stealing. People have invented a fake people (Palestinian) and invented a fake country (Palestine) in order to create this fallacious theft that never happened.

The issue is that land doesn't really belong to anybody. Land ownership is a social construct of nations, and therefore only valid by leave of the particular nation currently occupying that land. People in the very civilized nations of today have the luxury of naivety to that and other important factors. Ultimately, only those who can forcibly deny entry to others actually own that land. Thus arguments like this get pretty much nowhere in the global theater, because other, more old-fashioned nations have not forgotten this fact. This is just one of the many arguments surrounding this issue that lack grounding in reality. Most of those arguments revolve around the "pro-Palestine" side, but clearly, not all.

I never heard much about these events. He used the term "evacuate" Were these orders given by leaders of Arab countries to remove Arab populations because they were going to attack?

Thank you for speaking out about this Yoseph. The situation there now is terrible. It's shocking how so many of us in the west and in the Middle East don't know enough of the history and the context of what was said and done then and now. You're a good man Yoseph.
