BJEWS.COM: DISCOVER THE COMMUNITY

[babyisy12]

Ye right Jews never kill we defend our people . muslims known for killing everybody.Muslims never have enough land in this world meanwhile the have most of it . Look at the history now and before every place there Is a war for land it's Muslims .

[QoziKalon]

@babyisy12 So you don't believe in the Torah then. How can you consider yourself Jewish if you don't believe in the Torah? You see, Torah describes how the Hebrews came to Canaan and conquered it slaughtering every living creature in captured cities (including women, children and animals). Saying that Jews never killed anyone is denying Torah.

[QoziKalon]

@babyisy12 Truth is, followers of every religion killed when they had their state and army. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, you name it. When Hebrews had their country thousands of years ago they conquered, fought and killed just like everybody else. Then while in exile they didn't do it because they didn't have a country. Now they have a country and they fight and kill again. Like everybody else.

[QoziKalon]

@babyisy12 You mention history and say that everywhere there is war for land Muslims are to blame. Both North and South American continents were conquered by Christians and majority of native population killed by Christians. Over 60 million people in Africa were killed by Christians during colonization. Entire continent of Australia taken over by Christians and natives were either killed or pushed into bad lands.

[QoziKalon]

@babyisy12 WWI and WWII were conducted by countries with predominantly Christian population and claimed more lives than all previous wars combined. And you have the nerve to say that Muslims are to blame for all wars for land. Christian conquests, plunder and murder of conquered people, forcible conversion into Christianity is by far, BY FAR bigger than that of Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and all other religions combined.

[QoziKalon]

@babyisy12 You might hate Muslims and say such things because you think that Israel is in danger from Muslims. But your personal hatreds and fears are no reason to spread lies. Truth is Muslims, Christians, Jews and everyone else killed, kill, and will always kill. None of them is special. None of them is "always peaceful, always defending against bad guys, always a victim". Every one of them is a killer if circumstances are right. So stop spreading hatred. We are all beasts.

[QoziKalon]

Will you guys stop arguing!! We are sick and tired of outsiders who never lived in Uzbekistan or Bukhara for that matter teaching us who we are. To clear things. Bukharan, or Bukharian stands for a person from Bukhara. It can be anyone, Uzbek, Tajik, Bukharian Jew, Armenian, even a Russian. What is important is that we are brothers. We have one motherland, and wherever we are we remember our land. Love and respect to our Bukharian Jewish brothers. Uzbeks love you.

[jonnyboy4318]

[lefkowitz11]

Бухарские евреи хорошие люди. Это интересная песня, оно звучает как персиянка.

[cooldood1025]

Like Persian-- you said?

[Mizrachi8]

I love Bukharian Jews.

[arabiannight100]

are they still live there ?

[polati89]

I would like to know what is difference between zionism and overall jews people. Are regular jews are against zionism?

[ILoveMovies33]

polati, real Jews are Zionists. The Bukharian Jews are the most Zionistic Jews out there.

[MojaveViper29]

Nice video. It is sad that very little remains of this ancient community in it's native land. Most live in Israel and the United States.

[Shkhelkhshk]

@MojaveViper29 what ancient community? You mean Bukharians or you mean Jews? The two are NOT the same. Thousands of Bukharians remain in the native land, but they aren't jewish. There isn't any such thing as a Bukharian Jew because Bukharians are Ozbegi Turks, from the bloodline of the Oghuzz Turks. It's a long story, but the short of it is that Bukharian Jews don't exist. They are pretending like some Afghan Hazaras claim to be "Lost Tribes". its a folklore.

[bnwwf91]

@Shkhelkhshk DUDE STOP WITH THIS SLANDER, SERIOUSLY. OUR CULTURE IS VIBRANT AND RICH WITH HISTORY. AND WE ARE NOT TURKIC PEOPLE, the name Bukharian comes from where we lived for nearly two thousand years

[Shkhelkhshk]

@bnwwf91 Is it slander to say the truth? I will tell you again the difference between Bukharian and Jewish. First of all BUXORO/BUKHARA was flourishing as an ancient Sogdian city 2000 years ago. Sogdians were Persians unknown to Jews or Israel. And the Massagetaean tribesmen outside the city were warriors akin to Scythians. Now, the Oghuzz and Ozbegi/Osmani Turks arrived after a wave of Gokturks and Altaic hordes ruled. Chagatai Khan took the area including Khiva. Rich Jewish history please?

[Shkhelkhshk]

@bnwwf91 You are INDEED a TURK if you say you are a Bukharian Jew. Why? Firstly, Bukharians are Ozbegi, who are Turks. The Jews who came to Buxuro came from around Azov and were originally Crimean Tatars escaping Czarism. These Jews were originally allied to the Khazars from which clans of Ashkenazi derive. The Tatars weren't to happy in Ozbegeston, so they studied about Mashhadi Judeo-Persian culture. But remember, they were Tatars from Crimea, and as such, they are all TURKIC PEOPLE!

[alexanderlinden]

Nice song whats it about???

[feruzusmon]

Dear Jewish brothers. I wish you never left Bukhara. You left and took a piece of our hearts with you. Something left with you. I can't describe what it is. It just feels that something is missing. Something close and dear to all Central Asians. You are our brothers whatever difference we have in ethnicity or religion. Peace be upon you wherever you are.

[alexanderlinden]

Are you meshigge, for 2000 our forefathers have yearned to be in Israel! Baruch Hashem aal the Jews of the world found eachother in Israel.

[alexanderlinden]

But I do thank you for your concern!

[PTH150]

A bit of my great parents history.

My Great grand mother Slava Penkhasova,

originaly from Moscow traveled to Toshkent on 1916 by request of Imir Bukharian to be a family Doctor to all his wifes,

she did until 1920.When he left he gifted to her his collection of birds "Doves" .I speak english, uzbek russian, tojik...

i was reading other posts i'm Jewish also light skinned

,i know many jewish people have Last name with PInkhasov

,but Ours is PEnkhasov

[nychic120]

P.S. Yeah you can tell who the Tajiks in Uzbekistan are because of what they look like! If you are mostly Uzbek, you look Asian and have smaller, slanted eyes. Those Uzbeks who don't look Asian and look more Irani, Tajik or Afghan are Tajiks or mixed with Tajiks.

[LeeMulod333]

nychic120, we might not have the same language but Muslims did force some Bukharian Jews to covnert to Islam a really long time ago. My great great grandparents were killed because they didn't convert. Their daughter, my great grandmother, converted. But my grandmother converted back to Judaism when she was a teenager with her father. She felt more of a connection to the Jewish religion. She also raised all her siblings Jewish. Today, I am proud to say that I am a Central Asian Bukharian Jew.

[nychic120]

Wow that's sad....it's like they are our people (I am Tajik BTW), speak our language but there's no association just because of religion.

[LeeMulod333]

I am a Bukharian Jew who was born in Dushanbe. I don't identify as Tajik because my ancestors were not Tajiks. Bukharian Jews aren't Tajiks or Uzbeks or whatever. Our ancestors took the silk road from the Middle East to Central Asia. The Bukharian Jewish language isn't really the same as Farsi and Tajik. We have a different dialect and use the Hebrew alphabet. So I wouldn't say that the Bukharian Jews are your people because we don't have the same language.

[ArabJew]

at least israel and tajikistan has formal relations. for us arab jews, the situation is even worse. for turkic jews it works the best, israel has good relations with turkey and azerbaijan.

[IranAryana]

Bukharan Jews are part of the Persian-speaking world, like Jews of Samarkand, Afghanistan, and Iran.  I can understand every single word in this song being sung.

[SweetPie1974]

Do you think Persian speakers in uzbkstan are at least 20% of the total population, mainly living in Zerafshan, Qashqadarya and Surxondarya valleys ??

[LeeMulod333]

IranAryana, Bukharian Jews are the Jews all over Central Asia whether it's Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, Dushanbe, Turkestan, etc. It is a common mistake though.

[AlmazB]

Yes and again that Central Asia was part of the Persian Empire. I understood every word in the song. Dari and Farsi are very similiar

[SweetPie1974]

pls put more bukharan (Persian) songs of Mardon Mavlonov here. Pls

[Matutoboy]

nice video. Today, finally the Jews possess a Jewish national home, a place to be to be Jew between Jews.

[SweetPie1974]

Yes, they have a home in Israel, but Buxara and Samarkand misses them and with them gone the culture of those cities too

[LeeMulod333]

Please, Bukhara and Samarkand and other cities don't miss them. Muslims were the ones who persecuted the Jews and now they are telling us to come back. There is no way we will go back. No fuckin way. Our home is the USA and Israel. Central Asia is dead to us. It's dead to me at least. I hope all Jews will get out of those horrible places.

[LeeMulod333]

[SweetPie1974]

I m not from Cent. Asia, so I do not know why do you have to be mean to me. I just like Buxaran jewish culture and want to see it remain alive

[LeeMulod333]

Sorry I wasn't trying to be mean to you. I just wanted to say that I know a few Tajiks and Uzbeks who would like us to go back to Central Asia. But we were treated terribly in Central Asia and we are not going back.

[LeeMulod333]

[SweetPie1974]

so what do you think, what %age of uzbekistan population is tajiki speaking, cause govt puts it at 5%, which is definitely not true. What %age of buxara and samarkand speak tajiki as mother tongue. ur input will be appreciated

[LeeMulod333]

Well Bukhara and Samarkand are in Uzbekistan. I think that 5% is a resonable amount. I might not know much about Tajiks and Uzbeks but I do know that some Tajiks live in Uzbekistan. Their kids might have forgotten the Tajik language so 5% resonable. But I might be wrong.

[cooldood1025]

Wow. Mizrachi music rocks!

[Konatik]

Where can I download Mardon Mavlonov's song from this video?

[SweetPie1974]

thnx god, at last hearing some farsi from samarkand. it seems all farsi speakers of uzbkstan have been killed. why is it so???

[akimunduk]

Well, if uzbekistan decides to kill all the farsi speakers, there would not be a population left in Uzbekistan. )) More then half of it speak Tajik (farsi). So,. Bog daroed Tutijon!

[SweetPie1974]

But is it recognised by the government now. I mean how come both Tajiki and Uzbeki not national languages? In India, all major languages are recognised and there are 18 national languages. Do you know any TV channel or website that is specific to Uzbekstan's farsi. I would love to listen to more music and watch other stuff in farsi from Uzbkstan. Are you a tajiki speaker from UZbkstan. Thank you

[SweetPie1974]

I have heard that government is trying to oust the tajiki population from Uzbkstan. Is this move successful or the policies have changed???

[akimunduk]

Well,. they have closed all the Tajiki schools, and trying to accomplish to push the idea that Tajik (farsi) is a foreign language and it must be optional in schools for children to learn. By the way, yes I am a tajik, who lives both in UZB and TJK.Actually it does not matter right now,.since people are ready to do anything to feed their families,.nobody cares about the language..They can be Tajik when they have to and can also be Uzbeks while dealing with authorities.

[SweetPie1974]

I totally agree with this policy. This way they will survive. Once a better government comes, then they can work out on culture and identity with that gov. But they must speak it at home and future generations should learn their language and must know about their culture and roots. So you do not know about any website or TV channel that I can subscribe to for the Tajiki news and music

[feruzusmon]

That is not true. President Karimov is Tajik himself. Ismoil Jurabekov - man who brought him to power is Tajik as well. Polvonzoda - Minister of Interior is Tajik. Mullojonov - minister of education is Tajik. Head of National Bank is also Tajik. Prosecutor General is Tajik. Tajik Samarqandi clan controlls everything in Uzbekistan. If they are so bad to their own people it is not the fault of Uzbeks.

[RussianBoxer84]

full of shit. karimov is uzbek.

the rest people in government are tatars,uzbeks, a lil russians, and VERY LIL tajiks.

[QoziKalon]

First of all you do not have to insult others. Learn to behave like a civilized person. Secondly, Karimov is Tajik, and all the people that feruz mentioned are Tajiks. Ismoil Jurabekov that brought Karimov to power is also Tajik. So is Rafiq Nishanov, who was in power before Karimov, and who was also partly responsible for his promotion. Polvonzodah, Minister of Inferior is a Tajik. Fayzullo Mullojonov - head of Central Bank is a Tajik from a village near Chust.

[QoziKalon]

Mustafoev - head of Constitutional Court of Uzbekistan is a Tajik. Minister of Finances - Mamarizo Nurmurodov - Samarqandi Tajik. The list can go on and on. I am not even mentioning smaller positions in the government. Now, I am not saying this to insult Tajik people. I deeply respect Tajiks. I am just presenting the facts. As far as Karimov goes, he is from a mahalla behind Siob market in Samarqand. A Tajik mahalla.

[feruzusmon]

That is incorrect. More than half of Uzbekistans population does not speak Tajik. The only major Tajik speaking places are the cities of Samarqand and Bukhara (not the region surrounding the cities) and some villages in Ferghana valley. The rest is predominantly Turkic. I disagree with government figures on Tajik population but I disagree with the figures presented by Tajik nationalists either. It is more that official 5% but much less than 20%.

[lutfillo]

Singer's name in Mardon Mavlonov from Samarkand...
