The Bible prophesied that Israel would have a new language, a pure one where they would call upon Yahweh. This language, unfamiliar to ancient Israelites, evolved from Hebrew to European languages like English. Phoenicians brought Hebrew to Greece, where it became Koine Greek, then Latin, and eventually the modern European languages. European languages, including English, have roots in ancient Hebrew, fulfilling the prophecy of a new language for the Israelites. Today, English is widely spoken and understood, with many popular translations of the Bible in this language.

Speaker 0: The Israelites is not Israel. And as Tony and I are both Catholic, and so when we talk about the Israelites that are talked about in the Bible, there is a clear distinction between this prophecy about the Israelites and the government of Israel and white Europeans settling into the holy land. Mhmm. And so when we say this, like, the Israelites, the Israelites in the bible are actually the Palestinian people who have been there for thousands of years, not the white European from Ukraine or Poland or America. The Israelites are the people who were indigenous to that land that lived there for thousands of years, and those are not the people who have Trump wrapped around his finger. It's this, like, settler colonial white Europeans that have settled into the land of the actual Israelites that have either blackmailed him or cut deals with him financially. I mean, we go back to greed. Right? Greed is always, like, a big factor decisions. So Trump, in all senses, is wrapped in intertwined with this government and the Zionist regime and the Rothschilds and the Vanderbilts and the 13 rich families that control the world, basically. Right.

The speaker notes that there is no real way to know how ancient or Biblical Hebrew sounded, but there are beautiful indications of what it might have sounded like, evidenced by Yemenite Hebrew, and leaves the audience with this thought.

I'm real big into collecting old books. Nineteen ten Irish Wisdom Preserved in the Bible and Pyramids by Conor McDowry. Kinda shows you a little something about who took the Celtic language, the tiny hats. Look at that right there. Hebrew was taken from the Irish language. Isn't that interesting how certain things are always left out?

In the early nineteen hundreds, around the Federal Reserve’s founding and the Balfour Declaration, the Rothschild family hired a pastor in the Deep South who made a new version of the Bible called the Scofield Bible, with new interpretations. They didn't change Jewish influence. Yes. Literally. That's where Judeo Christianity kinda came from. And the idea that Israel is this modern Israel thing is the Israel of the Bible. It came from that Bible. And the Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. Then it was pushed because they owned the publisher that publishes like all the books. I think it was Oxford Press. And so they had the deals that they could make to get that Bible into all the mega churches across whole denominations of Christianity. And so that was when Christianity got kind of Jewified.

The episode addresses the question of whether Zionist settlers in Israel, if they are Semitic, have Hebrew that sounds Semitic. It asks why Israeli Hebrew doesn’t sound Semitic at all and considers whether the language’s sound is tied to who created it. The presenter notes that modern Hebrew has only existed for about 150 years. Before that, ancient or biblical Hebrew was a nonspoken language for around 2,000 years, mainly used liturgically for prayer, sacred texts, poetry, or literature, and the Talmud was not even written in Hebrew but in Aramaic. The revival of Hebrew as a spoken language is attributed largely to a Russian individual named Eliza Yitzhak Perlman. He was an Ashkenazi Jewish linguist who was obsessed with reviving Hebrew as a spoken language. Perlman’s native language was Yiddish, as was common among central and eastern European Jewish people at the time. According to the account, Perlman took the Sephardic Jewish pronunciation and overlaid it with European pronunciations heavily influenced by Yiddish, Russian, Polish, and German. As a result, certain features of modern Hebrew diverge from traditional Semitic phonology. For example, Hebrew does not roll its r’s like Semitic languages do; instead, they say “ra” in a way that the speaker uses as an example with “Israel.” This leads to the impression that Hebrew sounds more German, as in saying “hummus” rather than the expected Semitic pronunciation. The narrative also claims that Hebrew “don’t have the Semitic sound ah,” and that speakers “have to say ah because they don’t know how to say ah.” The overall point is that the phonetic characteristics of modern Hebrew were shaped by this revival process, blending Sephardic roots with European linguistic influences, rather than preserving traditional Semitic phonology.

I found my grandmother's bible from 1935 with a map of the Holy Land on the back. It refers to the region as Palestine, not Israel. Palestine welcomed European Jewish refugees after World War 2, but they ended up taking the land and creating Israel. The atlas shows Palestine in 1933, but by 1946 it is labeled as Israel. It's important to note that this is not about Islam, but rather the history of Palestine from 1926.

DNA tests are allegedly prohibited in Israel because they would reveal that virtually no Ashkenazi Jews are Semitic or have ancestral connection to Palestine. The speaker claims to have met Chinese, Vietnamese, and African Jews, none of whom are native to Palestine. The speaker states that some Ashkenazi Jews are entirely European in their DNA. The speaker recounts being assaulted by a BBC manager who had recently converted to Judaism. The speaker believes that converting to Judaism does not give someone the right to displace Palestinians.

Dante Fortson presents a case for undeniable evidence that Ashkenazi Jews are not simply converts or “proselytes” and argues that historical and scientific sources support that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the ancient Near Eastern Israelites in the way they are often portrayed. He frames the discussion around Genesis 10 and the genealogy of Ashkenaz as a grandson of Japheth, asserting that Ashkenaz is identified among the Gentiles and that the biblical designation aligns with Japheth’s lineage, not Shem. He uses this to challenge the narrative that Ashkenazi claims are purely Khazar or Khazarian. Fortson emphasizes that the claim Ashkenazi are not the original people of the book is not unique to Israelites; he says other sources have made similar points, and he intends to link biblical text with contemporary research. He references the 16th- to 20th-century scholarly conversation around Ashkenazi origins, including the Thirteenth Tribe hypothesis by Arthur Kessler, which argued that Ashkenazi Jews descended from Khazars rather than from Semitic Israelites. He notes that Kessler’s thesis has been controversial and often challenged by urban apologetics. He then introduces Shlomo Sand, who wrote The Invention of the Jewish People, highlighting Sand’s claim that mass conversions and the lack of a continuous, verifiable diaspora narrative complicate the traditional view of Jewish origins. Fortson provides several non-Israelite sources to support the claim that Ashkenazi origins are European rather than Near Eastern. He cites Arthur Kessler’s 1976 book asserting that Ashkenazim are Khazars, and he cites Shlomo Sand’s 2008 work arguing that Jewish origin narratives are largely inventions of modern historiography. He juxtaposes these with references to Khazar history, arguing that the Khazar Empire’s role in European history is often emphasized by various historians but contested by others. He then brings in genetic research to support a non-Near Eastern origin for Ashkenazi Jews. He cites a January 2006 US National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health report (Technion and Rambam Medical Center study) showing that four founding mothers who lived in Europe about a thousand years ago were the ancestors of about two-fifths of Ashkenazi Jews, with the remaining 60% showing more heterogeneous origins. He provides links to the study and summarizes that Ashkenazi maternal lineages largely trace to European origins. Fortson also references a 2013 Nature Communications article stating that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from prehistoric European women, and that Ashkenazi maternal lineages do not originate primarily in the Near East or from Khazar mass conversions. He quotes the Nature Communications report, which notes that female ancestors converted to Judaism in the North Mediterranean around two thousand years ago and later in West and Central Europe, and that the findings contradict the notion of a Near Eastern or Khazar origin for most Ashkenazi mitochondrial lineages. He brings in a 2014 LA Times/AP report concluding that all Ashkenazi Jews alive today can trace their roots to a founder group of about 330 people who lived during the Middle Ages, a finding tied to a genome sequencing study published in Nature Communications. He emphasizes that this origin narrative aligns with European roots for Ashkenazi Jews rather than Levantine origins, while Sephardic Jews are described as originating from regions around the Mediterranean (Portugal, Spain, the Middle East, and North Africa). Fortson cites the Encyclopedia Britannica entry on Ashkenazim and its distinction between Ashkenazim and Sephardim, noting that Ashkenazim historically lived in the Rhineland and later spread to Poland, Lithuania, and Russia, with cultural and linguistic differences such as Yiddish usage. He uses this to argue that Ashkenazi identity involves specific historical, linguistic, and geographic contexts that diverge from a simple Near Eastern origin. A recurring theme is the contrast between biblical/literary claims of lineage and modern scientific evidence. He discusses Jew FAQ’s explanation of who is considered a Jew (mother-line descent or formal conversion) to illustrate the complexity and exclusivity of Jewish identity, arguing that even within Jewish sources there is a recognition of a group that is not easily identified as originated from the Near East. Fortson repeatedly asserts that the presence of European ancestry in Ashkenazi lineages, and the visual mismatch between biblical assumptions and genetic/population studies, undermines claims that Ashkenazi origins are exclusively Semitic or Near Eastern. He argues that these conclusions are supported by multiple independent sources, including government and academic outlets, and that opponents who rely on a Levantine-centric narrative often fail to address these receipts. Throughout, Fortson challenges what he describes as a promotional narrative from urban apologetics that labels questions about Ashkenazi origins as antisemitic or racist. He contends that scientists and historians outside the Israelite-centered frame have produced consistent findings that Ashkenazi origins are European, and that the biblical Ashkenaz is linked to Japheth’s line in Genesis, rather than to a simple Near Eastern origin story. He invites viewers to examine the linked sources in chat and description, urging critical examination of receipts and encouraging continued exploration of the topic. In addition to the main discussion, Fortson plugs forthcoming content: a video on the Ravi Zacharias scandal and a Berean TV segment addressing ten billion cities in the coming kingdom, as well as commentary on doctrinal issues in Christianity and the interactions among various apologetics communities. He closes by reiterating that patrons will receive app access early and promoting ongoing fundraising and publication efforts, while stressing the importance of examining sources to understand the origins and identity of Ashkenazi Jews.

The speaker claims that the present Jews in Palestine are not descendants of the Judeans or the lost tribes of Israel, but rather descendants of the Kazars from Eastern Europe. They state that the Jews in Eastern Europe were never semites and cannot be considered semites in the future. The speaker questions why the origin and history of the Khazars and the Khazar Kingdom are not taught in history textbooks or courses. They suggest cross-checking the information, even referring to the Jewish encyclopedia for confirmation.

The speaker asserts that every Israeli prime minister has a fake name and that many changed their original European Jewish surnames to sound more Jewish or Middle Eastern. The speaker claims various examples: - David Ben Gurion: original name Gruen; changed to sound more Jewish and Middle Eastern. - Benjamin Netanyahu: real name Milkovsky (also stated as Malikowski in places); the speaker urges checking to verify Milkovsky. - Moshe Sharet: original name Chertok. - Levi Eshkol: original name Shklonik; changed to Eshkol. - Yigal Allon: original name Peikovits. - Golda Meir: real name Mabovich (not Golda Meir). - Yitzhak Rabin: real name Rubitsov. - Yitzhak Shamir: original name Yezernitsky; noted as being on a British wanted poster in Palestine for terrorism. - Shimon Peres: original name Persky. - Ehud Barak: original name Brog; changed to Barak. - Ariel Sharon: original name Shinerman; changed to Sharon. - Yair Lapid: original name Lample; changed to Lapid. The speaker emphasizes that Israelis are European Jews who do not come from Palestine and argues they want others to believe they are indigenous to the land; thus, they changed names to obscure their Eastern European origins. The pattern highlighted is that these are Eastern European names, not Palestinian or Middle Eastern, implying a claim about origins and ethnicity. The discussion centers on name changes as a deliberate act to redefine identity, with multiple examples presented to illustrate the point.

The word "Israel" in the Bible refers to believers in God, not a place. Sabbatai Zevi tried to resettle Jews in Palestine in 1666 but was arrested. Zionism became political, supported by the British crown and Rothschild banking dynasty. In 1917, the Balfour Declaration led to British control of Palestine for Zionists. The UN granted parts of Palestine to Zionists in 1947, causing Palestinian displacement. Zionists, mostly Ashkenazi Jews, have Christian evangelical support. The temple of Solomon must be rebuilt for the messiah to come, conflicting with the Al Aqsa Mosque. Choose peace over conflict.

Every Israeli prime minister has a fake name. Ben Gurion's original name was Grun, which he changed to sound more Jewish and Middle Eastern. Netanyahu's real name is Malikowski. Moshe Sharat's name was originally Chertok, and Levi Eshkol was Shklonik. Yigal Alon's original name was Peikovits. Golda Ma'ir's real name was Mabovich. Yitzhak Rabin's name was Rubitsov. These are Eastern European names, not Palestinian or Middle Eastern. Yitzhak Shamir's original name was Yezernitsky. Shimon Peres was Persky. Ehud Barak was Brog. Ariel Sharon's original name was Shinerman. Yair Lapid's original name was Lample.

Deborah said that this new form of antisemitism is not so new anti-Zionism. Speaker 0 responds that this is not new, noting that the first document of anti-Zionism is The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, written in response to the world Zionist congresses. It was true: the Jews were gathering to hatch their international plans, and we still do. Right? But what I think is...

Many people on the internet are discovering that Jewish and Israeli music often sounds similar to Arab and other Eastern music. This has confused and angered some individuals. It is important to note that most Israeli citizens and Jews are not Ashkenazi Jews from Europe. Many Jews from Arabic-speaking countries and other Islamic majority nations migrated to Israel, France, and the United States due to various reasons such as persecution and expulsions. The majority of Israeli citizens are of Mizrahi, Sephardic, Ethiopian, or mixed backgrounds. Additionally, a significant portion of Israeli citizens are Palestinian Arabs. It is also worth mentioning that many "Russian Jews" are actually Farsi-speaking Jews from Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, known as Mountain Jews.

I explored Jewish literature regarding origins and found three notable quotes. The 1925 Jewish Encyclopedia states that Esau Edom represents modern Jewry, which contrasts with the common belief that Jews are God's chosen people from Israel. The 1980 Jewish Almanac asserts that it is incorrect to label ancient Israelites as Jews or contemporary Jews as Israelites or Hebrews, indicating they are actually Edomites. Additionally, the Encyclopedia Judaica notes that Edomite Jews began identifying as Hebrews and Israelites around 1860.

My name is Sônia Bloomfield, an anthropology professor specializing in Israel's history, society, and culture. The Palestinians originated from the ancient Philistines, a Greek people who settled in Gaza after being expelled from Egypt. Over time, they assimilated into other cultures and ceased to exist. In 137 AD, the Romans destroyed Israel and named the land Palestine, after the long-gone Philistines. Until 1967, the term "Palestinian" referred to anyone living in the region, including Jews, Arabs, and Africans. However, after the Soviet Union and terrorists claimed that only Arabs were Palestinians, the narrative changed. The truth is that the land was abandoned and neglected until the Jews revitalized it.

Speaker 0 expresses interest in collecting old books and references “Nineteen ten Irish Wisdom Preserved in the Bible and Pyramids by Conor McDowry.” “Kinda shows you a little something about who took the Celtic language, the tiny hats.” “Look at that right there. Hebrew was taken from the Irish language.” “Isn't that interesting how certain things are always left out?”

Many Jews in Palestine today come from Eastern Europe, specifically from a group called the Khazars. The Khazars were a nation that not many people know about. These Eastern European Jews cannot trace their ancestry back to ancient Jews in Palestine. They are not semites and never have been. The history of the Khazars and their kingdom has been kept out of history textbooks and classroom courses. Even the Jewish encyclopedia confirms this.

It's a pretty known fact that the Jews are God's chosen people, that the Jewish homeland is Israel, that the Jews believe in the Old Testament, and that the Old Testament is about Jews. However, almost none of these facts are true. "Nowhere in the Bible does it call the Jews God's chosen people." "The Jews don't really believe in the Old Testament, and only maybe 5% of the people in the Old Testament can even be considered Jewish." "the expression anti Semite literally means against Shem or his descendants. However, being anti Jewish isn't the same as being anti Semitic." "Shem is the son of Noah, the guy who built the ark when Mesopotamia flooded." "Except Abraham has never been a Jew nor will he ever be a Jew."

Speaker 0: Before the emergence of the state of Israel in 1948, there was a large number of Jews living in the Arab world, something like 800,000. There were Jews in Lebanon, in Syria, in Egypt, and Iraq. The Jewish community in Iraq was the most ancient, going back two and a half millennia, and it was the most prosperous, the most successful, and the best integrated into local society. But before '48, there were Jews throughout the Arab world, and Muslim Jewish coexistence was not a distant dream. It was everyday reality. The Jews and Arabs lived side by side until the arrival of Zionism. My family and I, we were Arab Jews. We spoke Arabic at home. We didn't speak any other language. Our culture was Arab culture. Our food was the most delicious, spicy Middle Eastern food. It wasn't European food. So in every sense of the word, we were Arab Jews. We Arab Jews had much more in common linguistically and culturally with non Jews around us than with Jews in Eastern Europe. In March 1950, the Iraqi parliament passed a law which said, any Jew who wants to leave the country is free to do so. They have a year to register to leave on a one way visa, and not many Jews registered to leave. And in the next year, five bombs exploded in Jewish premises in Baghdad, and that created a panic and that helped to precipitate the exodus to Israel. Yosef Basri, 28 year old lawyer and an ardent Zionist, and he was responsible for three out of the five bombs. The controller of Basri was an Israeli intelligence officer called Max Bennett. He gave him the orders. He gave him the TNT. In 1950, there were a 135,000 Jews in Iraq. By the end of 1952, there were only about 10,000 Jews left in Iraq, and a 125,000 Jews ended up in Israel. We left Iraq as Jews, and we arrived in Israel as Iraqis. But problem is that Israel claims to be the state of the Jews. Israel claims to speak on behalf of all Jews everywhere. Zionism is an Ashkenazi thing. It's nothing to do with...

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss a view that the entire Zionist story, history, culture, and Jewish identity are synthetic and contrived. They claim there are think tanks, such as JPPI and others, that strategize on how to advance Zionism, how to change the story, how to better the story, and how to progress to gain more followers. They assert that one of their methods was to make Jews appear as if they are organically connected to The Holy Land, but not from a religious or spiritual perspective, rather from a national perspective. They note that many of these Zionists came from Russia and Poland and spoke Yiddish, while Sfardim spoke Arabic, and they mention having Jewish friends from Syria who speak Arabic. They say the strategy involved changing the language Jews were made to speak to Hebrew, with no more Yiddish, arguing that Yiddish is a dialect of German. Speaker 0 adds a comment that the modern invention of Hebrew is not the same as the ancient language of Hebrew, calling it a reconstruction. Speaker 1 expands, saying that Hebrew is more than a reconstruction and calling it blasphemous. He expands on the language topic by discussing the Talmud, noting that in discussions between rabbis when a question remains unresolved, the term taiku is used to indicate that the rabbinic legal religious discussion has not been resolved. He explains the word is spelled taiku (t a I k u) and is used exclusively to describe unresolved rabbinic legal discussion, contrasting this with today where the word is used to describe a tie in a soccer match, implying a perceived shift in meaning. Overall, the speakers present a narrative in which Zionist identity is manufactured, with deliberate language shifts and reframe of historical connections, highlighting the use of Hebrew over Yiddish, the nationality-based framing of Jewish connection to the land, and a linguistic and cultural reinterpretation of traditional terms and language history. They juxtapose traditional Talmudic usage of taiku with contemporary usage, emphasizing a perceived discrepancy between historical meanings and modern applications.

There is a lot of misinformation about the origins of traditional Jewish surnames. Historically, most Jews did not have formal surnames until recently. Ashkenazi Jews were compelled to take German surnames in 1787 by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II. The Russian Empire also forced Jews to take Slavic surnames after the partition of Poland. Benjamin Netanyahu's original surname was Maleikovsky, but his father changed it to Netanyahu when he immigrated to Palestine in 1920. This change is not a cover-up, as it is common for Jewish families to adopt names from religious scripture. Overall, Jewish surnames have varied origins and are not as fixed as some may think.

Eliza Yitzhak Perlman, who later changed his name to Eliza Ben Yehuda, played a pivotal role in shaping modern Hebrew as a spoken language. He was so devoted to the language that when he had a son named Itamar, he completely forbade him to speak any other language besides Hebrew, and even forbade him from speaking to other children if his mother sang him a Russian lullaby. His son, Itamar Ben Yehuda, is known as the first native speaker of modern Israeli Hebrew. The push to make Hebrew a living language met resistance from Orthodox and devout Jewish communities, who held that Hebrew was meant for prayer and sacred ceremonies, not everyday use. Meanwhile, the local Jewish, Christian, and Muslim populations in Palestine had long used Arabic as their lingua franca. Despite these tensions, the Zionist movement popularized the idea of a distinct language for a Jewish state. In 1922, Britain declared modern Hebrew one of the three languages of the land, alongside Arabic and English. The song referenced in the transcript is often perceived as centuries-old, but it was Hebrewized and lyricized only in 1918. It originated as a song of rejoicing after the Ottoman Empire fell and Britain promised, through the Balfour Declaration, support for the Zionist movement and the land of Palestine.
