Transcript [00:00] I had two very good friends from Cebu, [00:02] very close friends of mine. I invited [00:03] them to my house. They slept in my [00:05] house. They ate with me. I cooked for [00:06] them. We were good friends. They started [00:09] posting hail Hitler. They we need to gas [00:12] all the Jews, kill all the Jews because [00:14] of how some Israelis are acting. But my [00:17] friends in Sibu, Sam Manila, they never [00:20] act this way. What what is going on in [00:22] Charara? I noticed it by the way. It's [00:24] it's a disinformation campaign that is [00:27] being funded for real is being funded by [00:29] high up sources and the algorithm is [00:32] feeding it. [00:33] >> How you doing? [00:36] >> Brazil. [00:38] Brazil. [00:41] Oh boy. [00:47] >> Hi. [00:48] >> Hi. [00:50] Hello. [00:51] >> You know me? [00:51] >> I've been watching you. Yeah, I've been [00:53] watching you. [00:54] >> Oh, Salatua. [00:56] >> Yeah. [00:57] >> Where are you from? [00:57] >> Uh, I have Yeah. In the Manila. [01:00] >> Oh, nice. That's amazing. [01:04] >> I do have a question for you. [01:06] >> Okay. [01:06] >> About Israel. [01:08] >> Yes. Yes. Po. [01:09] >> Uh, yeah. [01:12] Could you tell me why the West Bank is [01:15] such a chaotic place? [01:18] >> Sure. You want the whole history? [01:21] >> Uh just the recent one about the area C. [01:26] >> Well, like look, the area A, B, and C [01:29] function right now is like a de facto [01:32] uh attempt to try to govern, but it [01:35] doesn't really work in practice at all. [01:37] So even when we segregate things like A [01:43] certain people have certain control [01:45] depending on their ethnicity and who [01:46] they have allyship with [01:49] >> but um essentially we captured the land [01:51] in ' 67 from Jordan who was occupying it [01:55] uh illegally and never wanted to give [01:58] Palestinians a state. We attempted to [02:00] mediate some sort of statehood for the [02:02] Palestinians which they kept rejecting [02:04] and then they launched Antifa 1 and two [02:06] from the West Bank [02:08] >> to try to kill Israelis. [02:10] >> And now one of the ways that we that [02:12] Israel sort of stopped the bombings from [02:14] happening was by putting up a big wall [02:16] >> not allowing Palestinians free entrance [02:18] into Israel anymore which stopped the [02:20] suicide bombings completely. [02:21] >> We haven't had a suicide bombing attack [02:23] since then. [02:25] >> Yeah. But the issue is the settlers. I [02:28] think the [02:29] >> So look, you can you can see me, Kuya, [02:31] right? [02:32] >> See my color? I'm Moreno. [02:35] >> Same same as Palestinian. [02:38] >> Yeah. [02:39] >> I'm an Arab. Palestinian is an Arab. I'm [02:42] an Arab Jew. [02:44] >> Yeah. [02:44] >> Okay. What if I go live now in the West [02:46] Bank? Does that make me a settler? [02:53] >> It depends. I think since you're [02:55] Israeli, [02:56] >> but I'm Arab, [02:59] >> for example. For example, there's Arabs [03:01] from all over the world living in the [03:03] West Bank, from Bosnia, from Turkey, [03:05] from Kurdistan, but we allow them to [03:08] live there because they're Muslim. But [03:10] if I'm a Jewish Arab and I want to go [03:12] live in the West Bank and have a [03:13] synagogue and have my kosher restaurant [03:15] and live in the West Bank, it's all of a [03:18] sudden I become a settler. [03:20] >> All right. [03:21] >> Is that not racist? [03:23] No, it's not about the races. It's about [03:26] the legality, I think. [03:29] >> But how but how can you discriminate [03:31] against one Arab versus another? [03:33] >> No, I mean uh how can I put this? [03:37] >> Sure. [03:39] >> Uh if [03:42] there are uh I believe that the area is [03:46] both mixed, right? [03:48] >> Kind of [03:48] >> Palestinian and [03:50] >> kind of. Yeah. [03:50] >> Yeah. And Palestinian and Israeli. So if [03:53] there's any conflict between those two [03:55] especially a bit of harassment either [03:58] any harassment from each side how do you [04:02] settle it? [04:04] >> How do you settle the harassment? [04:07] >> Yeah. [04:07] >> Like right now it's right now it's like [04:10] the wild west like people are just like [04:11] Jews and Arabs are attacking each other [04:13] back and forth. Somebody poisons the [04:15] dogs so he poisons the sheeps and he [04:17] poisons the sheeps he kills the [04:18] chickens. He takes down his house. He [04:20] burns down his home. Like it's right now [04:22] it's like wild west. It's lawless there [04:24] right now. [04:26] >> I see. So [04:29] there the only authority there is the [04:32] IDF, right? And the ARC. [04:36] >> No, there's also the Palestinian [04:37] Authority. [04:39] >> Oh, so it's mixed. [04:40] >> Yeah. And there's also small there's [04:42] small militias who they're they're [04:45] really the ones in charge more than the [04:46] IDF or the PA. there small militias who [04:49] are running rampant around kind of [04:51] controlling [04:52] uh each other's prop uh territory. But I [04:55] would I'll give it to you like this. [04:56] It's like if for example if somebody [04:58] from Mindanao were to move to Luzon [05:01] >> and you were to call them a settler for [05:03] living in Luzon, that would be like that [05:06] would be racist. That would be [ __ ] [05:08] up. That would be discriminatory. [05:11] >> Still Filipino. [05:14] >> Yeah. still still Pinoy, you know, [05:16] whether if they're from Mindanao or from [05:18] Luzon. [05:20] >> Yeah. But they have the legality still [05:25] >> the legality. [05:27] >> Yeah, they're still uh citizens of the [05:31] country. So, [05:32] >> correct. But Palestine is not a country. [05:34] >> Yeah. [05:36] >> Uh [05:41] but they do have territory. They they [05:44] don't really I mean the occupation is [05:46] being said that it's occupying from who? [05:48] From which Palestinian government? [05:53] >> I mean territory on area [05:56] A and B, right? [05:58] >> Yeah. But so for example basically [06:00] what's being proposed is I just want to [06:02] understand like your perspective like [06:04] Palestinian it's okay for Palestinians [06:06] to live in Israel [06:07] >> s Israel everywhere it's okay [06:10] >> in Hifa in Yafa in Jerusalem in Baraba [06:14] in the south everywhere is okay but if a [06:17] Jew wants to live in the Palestinian [06:20] territory it's not okay because they're [06:22] Jewish. [06:25] Yeah. [06:28] Uh [06:28] >> seems like a partite. [06:29] >> Okay, that's [06:31] [laughter] [06:32] for the area A and B. But the areas is [06:36] the more complicated. [06:38] >> So imagine if I made an area. Imagine if [06:40] I made an area inside of Israel and I [06:42] say hereto [06:46] all Palestinians only Jews, no [06:48] Christians, no Palestinians, no Muslims, [06:50] no Drews. That would be seen as [06:52] apartheid or racist. [06:55] Yeah, [06:56] >> but West Bank, [06:59] if a Jew wants to go live there, [07:03] >> not allowed because you're Jewish. [07:05] Doesn't matter if you're Arab Jew, [07:07] Ashkenazi Jew, Ethiopian Jew, Pinoy Jew, [07:10] doesn't matter if you want to go live [07:12] there because you're Jewish, you're not [07:13] allowed. Bal, [07:14] >> it's racist. I see [07:16] >> in my opinion. [07:17] >> All right. [07:17] >> Not everybody agrees, by the way, but [07:19] that's my opinion. [07:21] >> Okay. [07:22] Um, [07:24] I saw your video too about the Shargo. [07:28] >> Oh, yeah. [07:28] >> Issue. Yeah. [07:31] I don't know how to put this, but [07:35] seems to me the presence there is a bit, [07:38] you know, in uh invasive and for the [07:44] Shargo. [07:46] >> I didn't I didn't understand your point, [07:48] bro. [laughter] [07:49] >> Uh yeah. Uh sorry. Uh [07:50] >> it's okay. They're Yeah. Uh it's kind of [07:54] like um they're imposing a [08:00] uh no um they're imposing some [08:06] behavior of Israeli. That's a bit [08:10] unsettling to the locals. [08:12] >> Especially the if someone just put a [08:17] Palestinian flag on their door. [08:20] >> Yeah. But that's not that's not what [08:21] Chris did. You know, I lived I lived in [08:23] Charal for 5 years. I know the guy. [08:26] >> He didn't just put a Palestinian flag. [08:29] This guy was ra he was he was [08:31] discriminating against Jewish people, [08:32] not just Israelis. He was discriminating [08:35] from Jews before October 7. [08:37] >> You know, the guy the guy has been [08:39] racist and also he's breaking [08:41] Philippines law. Not just putting a [08:44] Palestinian flag. Putting a Palestinian [08:45] flag is one thing. No problem. But he's [08:49] not just putting up Palestinian flags. [08:51] >> Uh, no. There's uh I think a Jewish [08:54] couple that tore down some stickers, [08:58] right? I think that was Jewish nomad, [09:02] right? [09:02] >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I actually I I [09:05] spoke to them personally and got them to [09:06] take down their video cuz I know them. I [09:08] told them this was foolish. You should [09:10] not have done that. [09:11] >> Yeah. But again, you know, I I I lived [09:13] in I lived in Charaw after October 7th [09:15] and I had [09:17] >> certain I don't want to say who, but [09:18] certain people who were also [09:19] antagonizing us like we we were living [09:22] there and we were a part of the [09:24] community after Typhoon Odet. We raised [09:28] the Israelis. I'm talking about we [09:29] raised hundreds of thousands of pesos, [09:32] actually millions of pesos to build back [09:34] houses of the locals. We really [09:36] integrated as part of the community. And [09:38] after October 7th, we had certain people [09:40] in the community in Shara who were [09:43] chasing us around Israelis, even though [09:44] we didn't make a statement. We didn't [09:46] say anything. We didn't we didn't do a [09:48] parade or protest or anything, who were [09:50] putting free Palestine stickers around [09:53] us everywhere we sat just because we [09:55] were Israeli. You know, right now Rapler [09:58] and the Peso news and everyone in [10:00] Charara is excited because [10:03] >> there's hype that Israelis were [10:05] misbehaving and there were young [10:06] Israelis coming there misbehaving. So [10:08] everybody wants to feed into the [10:11] everyone, oh they're bad and they're [10:12] doing this and they're taking over and [10:13] they're colonizing. But they don't tell [10:15] you that when you live in Shara, if [10:17] you're Israeli, everyone tries to sell [10:19] you land. They don't tell you about [10:20] this. They only show you, okay, Israelis [10:23] are buying land or leasing homes or [10:25] starting businesses, but they don't tell [10:27] you about the locals who try to sell you [10:28] the land illegally. They don't tell you [10:30] about the locals who don't tell you the [10:31] full story. And I love the locals of [10:33] Shargo. They're good people, but they [10:36] don't tell you the full story that some [10:38] Israelis there, they they're young, they [10:40] come with a little bit of money, they [10:41] fall in love with Sharo, they say, "Hey, [10:43] maybe I want to live here." And a local [10:45] will send them, you know, a hectare of [10:47] land for cheap [10:48] >> without giving the full story. [10:53] Have you seen the latest uh arrests of [10:57] overstay visa? Oppo. [10:59] >> Yeah. [10:59] >> Yeah. They some of the comments they're [11:02] a bit anti-Semitic just because they're [11:05] Israeli. They immediately hate the [11:09] uh people that are listed there. [11:12] >> Kuya, I tell you, Talaga, bro, [11:15] literally all my friends in char. [11:19] >> Yeah. minus maybe four or five and I [11:22] lived there for five years. I knew [11:23] everyone on the island. I I knew so many [11:26] people there from every corner of the [11:27] island. Locals, non-locals, Pinois from [11:30] Manila, from Cebu who lived there from [11:32] Davao. [11:33] Almost everyone [11:36] flipped on me. [11:38] Flipped on me before I even said a word. [11:40] They became mean to me, became [11:42] discriminatory, started saying very [11:43] anti-Semitic stuff. I had two very good [11:46] friends from Cebu, very close friends of [11:48] mine. And I invited them to my house. [11:49] They slept in my house. They ate with [11:51] me. I cooked for them. We were good [11:53] friends. They started posting, "Hail [11:55] Hitler. They we need to gas all the [11:57] Jews, kill all the Jews." Because of how [12:00] some Israelis are acting. But my friends [12:02] in Su Manila, they never act this way. [12:06] What what is going on in Chara? I [12:08] noticed it by the way. It's it's a [12:10] disinformation campaign that is being [12:12] funded for real. Is being funded by high [12:15] up sources and the algorithm is feeding [12:17] it. I saw white tourists like American [12:19] tourists coming to Sharal with no [12:21] connection. They've been there for one [12:22] two days. They make a video on Facebook [12:24] saying, "Are Israelis taking over Shar? [12:27] I'm here on Shara." You know, he's like [12:28] without a shirt, just came back from [12:30] surfing. Israelis are taking over Shar. [12:33] How do you think about it? 1 million [12:34] views. Stop Facebook. [12:36] >> So, it's like now there's an incentive. [12:38] You can make money if you talk about [12:39] Israelis in Charal. [12:41] >> Yeah. But you know there's a bit uh [12:46] negative view because something NAS did. [12:51] >> NAS Daily. [12:53] >> Yeah. [12:54] >> You know Nas Daily is Palestinian? [12:57] >> Yeah. But [13:00] >> he's a Musl he's a Muslim Arab. [13:03] >> But he's a resident in Israeli time. [13:06] >> Oppo. But he's a Muslim Arab. He's the [13:08] Palestinians that they want to free. I [13:11] don't think it has a connection to NAS. [13:12] I mean, I know I know what Nas did is [13:15] not great what he did and I know he got [13:17] a lot of uh issues with his Pinoy [13:19] following, but what happened in Charara [13:21] is very sad, bro. Like I I by the way, I [13:24] will be the first one to say the way [13:25] that the Israeli tourists when they come [13:27] there is the behavior is not okay. They [13:29] can be very annoying. Very, very [13:31] annoying. But I lived in Shara for 5 [13:34] years. You know, Australians, they come [13:36] and they do horrific [ __ ] there. [13:38] Canadians, British, Spanish. Oh my god, [13:41] the things that the Spanish do to you [13:42] guys there. The way that they speak [13:44] about you. Not all of them, but a lot of [13:46] the tourists who come there. But the [13:49] again, you can you can make money, you [13:51] can get views, you can get popularity if [13:54] you speak about Israelis, if you speak [13:56] about Jews in a negative way. You can [13:59] see it around the world. It's just sad [14:01] to me that Pinois will fall into this [14:03] trap because your country and our [14:05] country has such a good tie. You know, I [14:07] I live around a bunch of Filipinos here [14:09] in Tel Aviv. There's Dhan Filipino here [14:11] or sorry, Maraming Maraming in Tagalog. [14:14] >> So, there's so many Filipinos here and [14:16] they love their life here. And even if [14:18] we have problematic Filipinos here, [14:20] which we do, there's a gang of Filipinos [14:22] here, by the way, in Tel Aviv who go [14:24] around killing or not killing people, [14:26] but hurting people. There's a literal [14:28] gang of Pinois in Tel Aviv. It's Pino [14:32] Pino and Sudin together. [14:35] They're causing problems. [14:37] >> They're causing problems. But you don't [14:38] see Israelis ever saying, "Oh, all the [14:41] Pinois, all the Filipinos are [14:43] problematic or they're colonizing our [14:44] country or we don't like them." [14:47] >> No. No. This is the first time I heard [14:50] that. [14:50] >> I know because nobody wants to talk [14:51] about this stuff because [14:53] >> it's not uh it's not on the feeds or [14:56] news. [14:57] >> I know because it's not popular. The the [14:59] thing is there are many Israeli [15:01] sapilipinas in Borakai in Luzon in uh [15:05] what's the place in Muro, Puerto [15:08] Gallera, in El Nido, in Cebu, even in [15:12] Charalo. There are so many Israelis all [15:14] over the Philippines. They've been [15:15] living there for a long time and they [15:16] love the country and most are not [15:18] problematic. And same thing in the [15:20] Philippines. There are so many Filipinos [15:22] here. Hundreds of thousands [15:25] and they don't cause problems. But [15:27] there's a small group that cause [15:28] problems and make a mess. But you don't [15:30] see Israelis reacting in the way that [15:33] Filipinos have been reacting where they [15:35] say all the Filipinos are bad or we want [15:38] to deport them from our country, kick [15:40] them all out. [15:42] Even if there's a gang, and I'm not [15:43] joking, I forgot the name of the gang. [15:44] It's called like XQC or something. It's [15:46] some weird name. They're Filipinos and [15:48] Sudin together and they're going around [15:50] in Tel Aviv and hurting people, robbing [15:52] people. There was a video recently, [15:55] >> but I I refuse as Israeli who loves [15:57] Philippines. I will never make a video [15:59] saying, "Hey, look what Filipinos are [16:00] doing in my country." Because that's not [16:02] it's not representative of you guys, you [16:04] know. It's not how you guys behave. You [16:06] guys are amazing in my country. [16:08] >> Yeah. Did they ever deported them or [16:11] >> I I think I think maybe they deported [16:13] them. I'm not sure. Some of them it's [16:15] complicated because some of them the [16:17] pinis will get into a relationship with [16:19] Israeli men and they have kids and [16:21] overstay the visa illegally and then it [16:23] becomes a gray space because sometimes [16:25] they have a partner who's Israeli and [16:27] it's you're breaking a family together [16:29] you know which is also illegal but you [16:32] know I and I can't say I don't want to [16:34] generalize because each case is [16:35] important but I think this is my opinion [16:39] kua our two countries are allies [16:43] we we train together. Military, we [16:45] exchange information together. [16:47] Historically, you guys saved us and we [16:49] want to help you when there's [16:50] earthquakes, when there's any natural [16:52] disasters. Israel always helps [16:54] Philippines. So, we have a good [16:55] relationship. We should not allow some [16:58] unruly Israeli tourists who come to [17:00] Sharaw to destroy the relationship that [17:02] we have because I promise you that [17:05] making allyship with countries like [17:06] Russia or China or many of the Muslim [17:09] countries who do not respect Philippines [17:11] or take Filipinos as slaves in the [17:13] Middle East are probably not a better [17:15] ally for you guys in my opinion. We [17:18] should we should focus on fixing this [17:20] issue between us but not it should never [17:23] devolve into like supporting Hitler or [17:26] supporting [17:27] >> Islamist Hitler's definitely the shitty [17:31] >> yeah [laughter] [17:33] that's what I think also [17:37] >> there's also uh [17:40] an argument that they're using that [17:44] Hitler was Jewish so very easy. [17:48] [laughter] [17:48] >> Yeah, there's some conspiracy theory [17:50] that his grandma was Jewish or [17:51] something. Even though it doesn't matter [17:53] like even if he let's say even if he was [17:56] Jewish, he was still an evil human being [17:57] who killed a lot of Jewish people. You [18:00] know, it doesn't matter if he was Jewish [18:01] or not. [18:03] >> Uh how what's your thought on [18:06] uh the [18:08] ancestry of K Marx [18:11] >> that he was Jewish? [18:12] >> Jewish. Yeah. [18:14] >> I mean, okay. [18:16] So there there's a lot of bad Jews in [18:18] the world. There's also a lot of good [18:19] ones. [18:20] >> Yeah. So that's [18:22] >> you know what what do I think about the [18:23] ancestry of the leaders of Abu Sai or [18:26] MIL [18:27] >> the Muro Islamic Liberation Front. [18:30] >> What do I think about the ancestry of [18:31] them? They're Pinoy that have gone the [18:33] wrong way. It I don't think it doesn't [18:36] you know it doesn't generalize for me. [18:38] It doesn't mean anything for me. [18:40] >> Yeah. I see. I see. [18:41] >> You see what I'm saying? [18:43] >> Yeah. the overgeneralization [18:46] >> that's always the biggest the biggest [18:47] issue is when we overgeneralize like we [18:49] can generalize you have to generalize [18:50] sometimes [18:51] >> and I can even generalize and say that [18:54] young Israelis that are coming to Sharo [18:56] have been very problematic [18:58] >> have been very problematic I can say [19:00] that as a generalization [19:02] >> yeah I think that's common on the youth [19:05] especially [19:06] >> of course [19:07] >> if they're trying to be rebellious but [19:10] and try to exp [19:12] >> of course and you have to remember that [19:13] the people in Chara too have not been [19:16] like perfect receptive apples. And I'm [19:18] not saying this anything about the [19:19] locals, but the people who have been [19:21] living there have 100% since October 7th [19:24] purposely been antagonizing Israeli [19:26] tourists. Like they're making sure to [19:28] make Israeli tourists feel unwelcome [19:30] there. But there's another side where [19:32] there's many locals who want Israeli [19:33] tourists because they've been traveling [19:34] there for many years. So when the [19:36] Israeli tourists come, they're also [19:38] divided. Like they're like, "Oh, wait. [19:40] half of this people here love me and [19:42] they want to me to be here and there's [19:44] another half who are telling me free [19:46] Palestine go back to your country stop [19:48] coming to this island so it's also [19:49] confusing for them you know [19:52] >> yeah [19:54] I see I see [19:56] uh [19:58] there's some [20:06] how about the um situation in Gaza. [20:12] >> What about it? [20:12] >> The Yeah. Is that uh temporary on [20:17] ceasefire or not? [20:19] >> I I don't even think there's really a [20:21] ceasefire anymore. I mean, Israel has [20:23] been bombing there and Hamas keeps [20:26] launching rockets and keeps trying to [20:28] kill people. So, I'm not sure it's any [20:30] meaningful ceasefire. Yeah, I think [20:34] they're they've been [20:37] uh I mean taking swimming lessons [20:42] recently. I on the beach. [20:44] >> Swimming lessons. [20:45] >> I mean they're swimming or celebrating [20:48] on the beach. [20:48] >> Who? The Gazins. [20:49] >> Even though Yeah. Even though they're [20:52] out. It's so crazy. [20:54] >> Yeah. It's It's very crazy there, bro. [20:56] There's a lot of propaganda that comes [20:58] out of Gaza. It's It's pretty It's [21:00] pretty nuts. You can't know what to [21:02] believe. [21:02] >> Yeah. [21:03] >> You know, [21:03] >> there's also the marathon. It's so [21:06] ridiculous. [laughter] [21:09] >> Yeah. Can you imagine if they did a [21:12] marathon in any concentration camp [21:14] genocide ever in history? [21:16] >> Yeah. [21:17] >> Imagine if they did a marathon in Sudan [21:19] with 2 million people dead. [21:22] >> Yeah. [21:22] >> Not sure we could call that a genocide. [21:26] Are you still um importing I I mean [21:30] welcoming the Ethiopian ones [21:33] or was it uh halted [21:37] >> the Ethiopian Jews? [21:38] >> Yeah. Are are they still coming in? [21:41] >> So according to both the government of [21:43] Ethiopia and the government of Israel, [21:45] all of the like legitimate Ethiopian [21:48] Jews have already immigrated. the ones [21:49] have wanted to and anybody who can prove [21:52] their ancestry like can immigrate here [21:53] easily. Now uh now what there is is [21:57] about 16,000 people who are known as [21:59] Falashura who have mixed ancestry of [22:02] Christian and Jewish Ethiopians. [22:03] >> I see. [22:04] >> And they're having a very hard time [22:05] deciphering who's legitimate to move to [22:07] Israel and who's not. Uh it's a pretty [22:10] [ __ ] up situation. I'm not going to [22:11] lie. Uh and there's a lot of like [22:13] complacency by both governments not [22:14] doing a good enough job in my opinion. [22:17] Isn't the DNA test not sufficient [22:20] enough? [22:21] >> What? Sorry. [22:22] >> The DNA test was it was it insufficient [22:27] for the legitimacy or [22:29] >> so Ethiopian Ethiopian Jewish DNA is [22:33] very complicated cuz they come from a a [22:36] time from the solemn. It's kind of like [22:38] what I don't know if you've ever heard [22:39] that there's a conspiracy or not a [22:41] conspiracy theory but there's a theory [22:42] that uh Philippines is one of the tribes [22:44] of ancient Israel. OIR. Maybe you heard [22:46] about this before. [22:48] >> No. [22:48] >> So there's some [22:49] >> but I do know though some lineage or uh [22:55] a line where some of the tribes of the [23:00] Jewish people migrated west uh I mean [23:03] east towards Asia and spread uh I don't [23:07] know the history is bit complex. oppo. [23:10] No, they did. They went the especially [23:12] my community, the Iraqi Jews, [23:14] >> they went to Singapore, Myanmar, Hong [23:17] Kong, Japan, and Philippines. And [23:19] Sphartic Jews made it to the Philippines [23:21] also during the Spanish Empire and mixed [23:23] into the DNA in the Philippines. But [23:26] >> anyways, with Ethiopia, they are from [23:28] the Solomonic dynasty. So after Solomon, [23:31] he mixed in with the Ethiopian with the [23:33] East African Jewish people from uh [23:35] Sudan, from Yemen, from Somalia and from [23:38] Ethiopia and Tigra, the area of northern [23:41] Ethiopia, Retraa, Djibouti. So the DNA [23:44] there is very complicated to trace back [23:46] to what we have as Misrai and Ashkenazi [23:49] Jews. It's hard to find the specific [23:51] lineages. So you can't DNA test them. [23:53] The way that they were chosen as welcome [23:56] to Israel was based on a rabbitical [23:58] decree where they said that the the the [24:01] community was legitimate. It was kosher, [24:03] quote unquote, that they had been [24:05] practicing Judaism, like legitimate uh [24:09] patriarchal Judaism for long enough, [24:11] uninterrupted with legitimate books and [24:14] the legitimate language and had a [24:15] legitimate connection to Israel that the [24:17] rabbis actually decreed that they can [24:19] come to Israel. [24:20] I think that's the same one for the [24:24] Chinese Jews. [24:25] >> Correct. The Kiang Jews from China and [24:27] the Benache in India also. [24:31] >> And in the Philippines, by the way, [24:32] there's a group in in Mindanao who [24:34] believe that they are uh in there's a [24:37] there's a conversation happening now [24:38] about maybe bringing them home also. [24:41] >> I see. [24:41] >> Yeah. [24:42] >> Have you ever traveled to uh the Kesson [24:46] city part where the Palestinians were [24:49] staying? I believe [24:50] >> where Kapo [24:51] >> the ones Yeah. I I don't know if it's in [24:54] Kyapo or near the circle, the Queson [24:57] City circle. [24:58] >> Well, I've I've been extensively in [25:00] Queson City. I don't know if I've ever [25:01] been to a Muslim area, but I have been [25:03] to Kyapo. I stayed near Kyapo once and I [25:06] went to explore. I've also been in [25:07] Magendo and in uh in all all of Muslim [25:12] basically. I've been to Marawi and uh [25:14] Kottobato. [25:16] So, I've I've experienced the Muslim [25:18] Philippines pretty thoroughly. [25:20] >> No. Uh, no. I meet the uh refugees from [25:23] Palestine. [25:24] >> Oh, no. I did. I know. I never met them. [25:27] >> Oh, [25:29] uh, even one person from there. [25:31] >> I don't think I ever met a Palestinian [25:33] in the Philippines. I I don't I can't [25:36] remember. I've eaten at a Lebanese [25:38] restaurant who had he was like half [25:40] Palestinian, half Lebanese, but I can't [25:42] remember if I've ever met a Lebanese or [25:44] a Palestinian [25:47] I've met Moroccans. I've met Iraqis. [25:49] I've met a lot of Moroccans in [25:50] Philippines. There's a lot there. [25:53] >> Yeah. There I think there's a group the [25:57] Philippine File Sign Friendship [25:59] Association. They're usually site uh [26:03] along Queson City. Yeah. [26:06] >> Yeah. Interesting. I didn't know that. [26:09] Uh it it's a association or a group [26:12] between [26:14] I think the refugees from Palestine [26:16] >> like from Gaza. [26:17] >> I don't know. Yeah. [26:19] >> Either Gaza or West Bank. They've been [26:22] here I think uh before or during or [26:27] after the Naka. [26:29] >> Oh, so they've been there for a long [26:30] time. [26:31] >> I think I I'm not sure but there's it's [26:35] a community I think. [26:36] >> Mhm. I'm not sure what 100% but I've [26:40] been seeing that on online. So there [26:43] >> there's one really popular half half [26:45] Filipino half uh Palestinian [26:48] uh Instagram guy who he blocked me but I [26:51] but he [26:53] >> Sneo. [26:54] >> No, Sneo is half black, half Filipino. [26:57] >> He's not half [26:59] >> and I don't even know. His Filipino [27:00] ancestry is a little weird. I think his [27:01] mom is full Filipino but [27:03] >> but Sneo's embarrassment. He's not Who [27:05] cares about Sneo? [27:07] I've watched his debate on [laughter] [27:11] uh I think it's uh No, it's not Joe [27:15] Rogan. Alex Jones. [27:18] >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's very dumb. Uh [27:20] >> no, the the whole the whole episode from [27:24] Alex Jones. [laughter] [27:30] >> Well, listen, Kuya, I'm going to go I'm [27:31] going to go try to debate some Islamist, [27:33] but it's a pleasure talking to you, [27:34] brother. Yeah, [27:35] >> I appreciate the conversation. God bless [27:37] you, bro. See you soon. [27:38] >> Yeah. [27:40] >> Byebye. [27:41] >> Nice guy.
