  • He is smart on and off the court, and he is also humble. That's why this man is my favorite player.

  • stop making fun of him just b/c hes pretending its a fad

  • everyone starts off as a christian then all of a sudden they become jewish?

  • i have lost total respect for amare after this why amare why?????

  • @327372 you think a guy like amare cares if he has your respect haha who are u????? exactly dude, nobody gives 2 shits

  • @327372 Why would you lose respect for him? I'm not Jewish, but just because he is your going to lose respect for him? How fucking lame are you? Does that stop him from being a fucking beast in basketball? Does it make him less ferocious on the court?......Didn't think so........This is grown-man talk. Leave the shit alone!

  • @swaguymusicpage its not the fact that hes jewish or jewish wannabe lol, its the fact that he has drastically increased his jewishness once he got traded to NY which is the second home of jews after israel. i dont give a flying fuck if hes jewish tbh. as long as he doesnt show his jewishness on the court, im fine with it.

  • why is goran dragic interviewing amare?

  • Nour264 kiss my ass bitch.

  • FUNNY he becoems a jew RIGHT before signing with the JEW YORK nicks.. coincidence?? i bet you anything he was paid to do it behind the scenes...first hes a hard core chritian with a black jesus tattoo and the next thing you know he believes in judism in perfect timing....this is pathetic....!

  • Comment removed

  • manu ginobili looks a little jewish too with that nose of his lol.

  • WTF, anyone can choose his religion freely fucking dumbasses, u are like fuckin nazis!!! Damn!

    Amare is a great person and player!

  • He is not Jew-wish but the original HEBREW speaking AFRICAN'S of the land*(even Hitler knew "the genetic heritage of the jew is purportedly traced to the oriental,NEGRO,near asian and Hammit people." from a book called The nazis WWII by Robert Edwin Herzstein edited by time-life books),that's why amare emphasized the HISTORY and CULTURE aspect and not belief .

    P.S. jew=judah so if your not from the tribe of judah how can you be a jew?

    

  • I am a Muslim and I found out that Amare is Jewish, and he is still one of my favorite basketball players. RELIGION DOESN'T MATTER. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE.

  • @nadmsam Respect dude, I'm Jewish as well....and I hope there are more people out there like you!

  • Whatever religion you are part of, keep it for yourself.

  • Amare is a great player who has pretty much single handedly restored the passion of New York Knicks basketball but more importantly he's seems like a really great guy who is intelligent and down to earth, and being Jewish myself, I am glad to see that he visited the Holy Land to learn more about his culture

  • Better get all those tattoos removed if you want to be buried in a jewish cemetary

  • The black man is not apart of the so called Jewish religion. The so called star of Dawid is false and the Jews know it. The original Hebrew man from Abraham to Yahshua bore no star of Dawid. Charles Weisman said it good in his book, Who is Esau-Edom? The people in Jerusalem today are counterfeit and they know it. They live by a law not given by the Most High Yahweh and bare a star opposed by the Most High Yahweh in Shemot (Exodus) 20: 4&5, a graven image of things in heaven. Amare be careful!!

  • @abrahamyah fuck outta here

  • @abrahamyah go to hell. Christians came from jews. Jesus made it fag.

  • If you guys thinks nour264 is a gay fag reply to me 

  • fuck outta here with this shit

  • yo all u stfu, amare is a good man and respect for things and people around him, just because the man is making a good salary doesnt mean he is a man of greed, the man can prolly care less about his cash than others things like family, basketball, people, and many other things and but just because hes jewish it doesnt mean anything, he makes tons of money and is a top forward but that doesnt change him

  • This guy is dirty dirt. He will burn since he has tattoos and he probably isn't circumcised.

  • What a beautiful role model. I have been inspired by just listening to a few minutes of Amare's words of passion and spirituality. What a wonderful person :D

  • Nour264 fuck u fuck ur mom and fuck ur life.

  • @bbg9111 kiss my ass

  • for some reason i love the fact that amare is jewish :D

  • seriously who are the 12 fags

  • jewish is the only true religion all other religions started by one person saying god came to me jewish started by god coming to 600000 people [600000 people dont lie about the same thing]

  • Amar'e Stoudemire = MVP. he's took the challenge of playing in the big apple. which itll either make or break u. in his case it made his highlights this season. he's dismissed the rumor that he couldnt be the same PF without Nash. but he's become more than that. he's a leader of his own team and attacking the rim and has averaged in last week around 30 ppg or more. dont forget he also is getting more blocks. BPG 2. all these quick reasons = MVP!!!

  • It's sad people judge others on one's religion. That's terrible. What is Religion if we are always judged on it? Amar'e Rules!

  • Amar'e is a great guy, a great player as well as intelligent, which not a lot of people give him credit for. Jewish pride brother!

  • @WestSide1207 you know what....Amar'e is a great guy and a great player. I'm a knicks fan and I love him. However, I don't think he's that smart. no offense to him. he seems to try and learn culture and everything like that which I respect him for. But, he kept calling omri, "omar." and with that tweet him made with the byu player being kicked off the team for having sex. he didnt learn the facts before assuming it was basically because the guy was black and he didnt know the real facts.

  • @WestSide1207 amare is so dumb, his "Original culture" is african culture in Africa.. it did not begin in israel you idiot

  • @llHyRaXll you asshole coz hes mama is half jewish

  • @llHyRaXll Hey, watch who you call an idiot, alright motherfucker? Especially after you're commenting on my status after 4 months. Who's the real idiot here? What, do you just go around looking at comments around Youtube and try to start arguments with them? You stupid piece of shit.

  • @WestSide1207 listen JEW. no likes you guys to begin with.. saying stuff like jewish is the original culture will just make people hate you even more.. hook nosed jew , do somthing useful for a change

  • @llHyRaXll wow bro you are really retarted in the head. The jewish people started off as nomads anyone could join them. Some countries in africa started to follow judaism, and believe in their relgion. Amare's mother is related to one of the first jewish nomad's. And africa isn't a country so he's not african. His culture would be from where he's from you're a frekian racist kill yourself.

  • @TheJewballer "Some people started to follow Judaism" Are your serious! Africa is the cradle of civilization. These man made monotheistic religion are nothing but mind control programs with strict intention of keeping people in check.

  • @arronnov I wrote that 5 months ago really dude

  • @TheJewballer The truth and the falsification of consciousness does matter no matter 5months or 2000yrs. The vary fact that Amare says that Jewish culture is the original culture is pure ignorance and brainwashing.

  • @arronnov well you know that chrstianity comes from judiasim jesus was jewish and the thing is jesus was never christian the Last supper was him celebrating passover a jewish holiday his followers were christian he was always jewish judiasim was the orginal relgion maybe you're too insecure to see that the jews were the chosen ones if you fail to see that than yo're no better than the words you said to amare

  • @TheJewballer Well your basing your beliefs and mental conditioning on mythology. The thing is every culture and people have their own mythology. The problem is that western white civilization has pushed this Christian/Judaic mythology across this planet as the only absolute truth for mankind.Which is nothing more than political mind control program that's been used by whites. I'm quit secure to see the European decent people calling themselves Jews are nothing than political opportunist.

  • @TheJewballer You do known that African decent people on this planet are consider by the majority of mankind as the original and oldest people on the planet. That being said why or should be following the political mythology who are just knew on this level called the earth. We have our own mythology. Guess what on that. Western white are the ones who have been hell bent the past 1500yrs to today trying to control our self determination on this matter.

  • @TheJewballer Amare is just ignorant to history. I can't blame him. Black people the world over have been mentally condition generation after generation to follow and believe in Christianity Judiasm and Islam. Now people who have been our enemies are the ones who's pushed this on us. Why? Your enemies will never give you anything to free yourself from their control.

  • A thinking man in the NBA? Baruch Hashem!

  • damn, he's a good dude. his reasons for being Jewish aren't anything evil or negative. even if you don't like the religion, this isn't about that; it's about Amar'e's take on things and why he desires to take on Judaism. and everything he did is all in good nature. don't hate on a certain religion, everyone believes something different based on their own opinion and what they agree with. we shouldn't be arguing over "who's right"

  • Amar'e is a cool dude. Dont hate.

  • I'm not jewish but seriously people what is wrong with you? You judge a man because of his religion? This is how war is started by idiotic people like yourselves who judge a man or woman becuase of their religion! A quick lesson for you: A human is born of a certain religion, but his character is built under his lifetime!

  • @Deenijel yah but when its the muslim religion no1 cares or gives a hit

  • Omar Casspi? He can't even get his name right, what a friend he is.

  • does anyone else see a white line above amares head?

  • @vi3tboi2o6 thats a jewish kippa

  • @vi3tboi2o6 look at the final seconds of the vid. its a kippah or yarmulke or whatever you wanna call it lol

  • @vi3tboi2o6 thats a yarmulke dude

  • Amare Stoudemire sold his soul to SATAN, he never own a Holy Bible which is the Black man history book that YAH gave us to seek for him and instead he sold his soul to SATAN. He dont know the those so call jews "Khazarians and Ashkenazi" wree the very same people that put his people in slavery. What a stupid asshole.

  • I lost all my respect to Amare Stoudmire now, I hope he burns in hell stupid nigger!

  • @Alpito123 amare is now a slave of the zionist Jews who run america and israel!!!!!!! did you hear his reasons for becoming jewish? " oh cuz this is my real origin". " oh juadism is the truth" ...wow i wonder how much they paid him

  • @llHyRaXll I totally agree with you. I think they paid him too because there is alot of jewish people in New York. And the funny part is when he was playing baskeball in Phoenix he said 5 things he could not live without and one of those things was his Bible. Lol how ironic....now he says he is a jew. This man is 100% full of shit. They paid him so it would be like commercial for jews, you know what I mean?

  • @Alpito123 LOL thansk for briniging upo the point amare said he cant live without his bible ..what a sell out this man is...how greedy can he get? hes already making 20 mill per year. sheesh!!!...btw jews make up less than 2% of the US populaton.. yet in the media, hollywood, banks, fed reserve, insurance, congress, they make up 60%.50%, 60% 40%, 40% etc....this is ho they influence our country and why we give so much to israel..yes they also run JEW YORK haah

  • He is already got that large jewish nose so he already half there being a complete jew.

  • "Yeah, that's right."

  • 4:08...a niggggahh be in new york lmao.

  • Jewish or not, if Amar'e can't lead the knicks to the playoffs, the fans and media will quickly turn on him.

  • Interested in the Jewish religion huh? What's with all the hate over jewish people ,though? This world is chock full of fucked up people.

  • L'SHANA TOVA !

    SHALOM.

  • whether or not he is not an actual Jew he is bringing a lot of good attention to Israel to and the Jewish faith.

  • Amare...youre kidding homey.. please say your joking. A black man who cant find his own people who feels he must rely on someone elses story? The jewish people borrowed their entire religion from the tribes they integrated with and mixed it with ideals they found from OUR PEOPLE in Kush / Kemet. Why emulate the branch when you can find the root among your own people. Study history bro. If it werent for the Kushites the Jewish people might not even be here today. check RESCUE OF JERUSALEM. hotep

  • @ChristiansMustLearn Amare is not 100% Jew, but he could be jewish if he wants. What's matter whith this? In fact only jews from north africa and middle east are close to the original hebrews, the other ones are far away... But who care?

  • @ohanina2mizrahim as 85Saudi correctly states Jews arent permitted to get tatoos. So one strike there. 2. Most christians (which is how he was raised) have a love for Jews that they dont hve for their own because they're ignorant of history. Jews needed africans and learned from them...why emulate them? He should be heading to Sudan to find out his history since sudan influenced Judaica. 3. If he was broke the Israelis wouldnt give a shit. If they dont like you with nothing why bother?

  • @ChristiansMustLearn your venom and anti Semitic hatred is staggering...

  • @Zathinean bullshit. why is any critique of judaica or israel automatically mean anti-semitism (a misnomer that excludes anti-islamic rhetoric since Arabs also speak a semitic tongue).

    I am against all religion and to the extent that I analyze them its from an historical cultural context. The facts are plain. Judaism is largely a borrowed religion created by a people who needed to come to grips with their being repeatedly removed from a land they dwelt in.

  • @ChristiansMustLearn dont worry,when you talk to someone about israel's murders you become a anti-semitic..thats a stupid israel principle

  • @Zathinean dont spit useless nonsnese to me. Counter my arugment with facts. Was it not the Egyptian Kushite King Taharka that saved the jews form destruction by the Assyrians in 701 BC? Why would stating a fact make me anti jewish? Less emotion and more facts if you plan on debating me. Egypt, Kush and Babylon are responsible for early jewish thought. Midrash, Talmud and Hallacha emulate the scholarly debates of Hellenist philosophers I stand firm. Judaism is largely borrowed and not inspired.

  • fuck u eye butceees.

    go to hill u r not human, animal better than u.

    jaaaaak assssss. i hate u from today.

    kobe best one.

  • when your jewish your not supposed to get tattoos

  • the kings of israel shall rise again. mark my word.

  • Amare my brother, you were been a Jew. You were the one back then slaying lions with your bare hands. You were the one slaying giants 5 times your size. Amare my brother, you cannot convert to something you were already were.

  • @YahawahTheGreat Yah right. If you define being a Jew by skin color and not understanding the biblical Hebrew codes & revelation of the Divine. What a miserable self image you must have that you define understanding the Creator's infinitely deep coded revelation to humanity as something inherent to skin color. If you had any sense whatsover, you'd understand that Judiasm invites all people needing to aspire to the highest spiritual levels. Come to Israel-surprise, there are Jews of all colors.

  • the bullshit is unbearable. Why did i have to wear a kipa to a bar-mitzvah when i'm not jewish. this whole jewish crap he's pulling just seems like bull. "i've been everywhere, you name it I've been there" top quality bullshit answer.

  • Comment removed

  • @avs96 you are forgetting ethiopian jews 

  • baal tchuva lol

  • Btw, Spanish think jesus was spanish, black think he was Black, chinese think he was chinese. I'll tell you something, i dont believe in Jesus but in the christian books it said that he Was Jewish origin ...like me...not Like you..now go back to your roots in africa and shut ur mouth up.

  • @Yahoodi1 The bible says the "jews" are black you fool. So how are you a jew? You're not... You're jewISH... Kind of like a jew. But you're not of the seed of Jacob. You're of the seed of Esau. Your spirit, appearance and your history prove that. Go back to Mt Seir you troglodyte. You might not believe in Jesus, but he believes in slaughtering you on his return! Go ahead & attack Iran so we can get this party started.

  • @Yahoodi1 Well Jesus had BRONZE skin as if BURNED in a FURNACE. Do the "so call" Jews of today have bronze skin? I thought so. Go back to the caves and relive your history.

  • Jews are Brothers of the arabs and middle-easterners, Black people are definately not middle-easterners.

    We are welcome you to our People Man, There is nothing like Israel and the Jewish Culture, you cant compare this to the empty Western culture, drugs, drunk, stabs, rape, corruption etc etc.

    Aku...your roots in africa, you need to respect your own roots and not try to steal other people cultures while you insult them.

  • @Yahoodi1 You identity thieves crack me up! My roots go THROUGH the land of Ham & right into the land of Israel & all the way back to the garden of Eden.

    Yasharahla is black! Exo 4:6, Gen 50:7, Sol 1:5, Job 30:30, Lam 5:10, Lam 4:8, Acts 21:37, Dan 7:9, Acts 13:1, Num 12:10, Dan 10:6, Rev 1:14

    You're red & hairy like Esau.

    And why aren't black people middle eastern? Wasn't Canaan a son of Ham, Nimrod a son of Kush? You either know very little or lie very much.

  • I'm a knicks fan, but Taylor Mays is definitely the chiller black Jew.

  • Jews are the Killer and the Unbeliever of the Prophets

  • Yasher Koach!!

  • @waz221221 you are right that originally ruth was a moabite, however if you read the book of ruth closely, she accepts judaism as her religion when she tells naomi that "you god is my god". so she was also jewish when she gave birth to obed.

  • @natanoy2 Ruth didn't accept any "judaism" or "religion". The Most High didn't give Israel those things. And she wasn't "jewish" or a Jew or an Israelite when she gave birth to Obed - she was a Moabite. Any nation that cleaves to Israel will be what they are.

  • Comment removed

  • He's a fan of history. That's good. Maybe he'll learn that the jews are a fanatical race of thieves and cutthroats. Always have been always will be.

  • gevaldig!

  • Amare has some spiritual connection and feels a better person for searching out & discovering his roots. If a person becomes uplifted and positive and means no one harm everyone should all be happy for him. All you people quoting the bible to make some screwed up comment are screwed up yourselves. Way to go Amare!

  • remove that evil star from you hand you TRUE HEBREW!

    The whites in Israel are no descendents of the ancient Israelites, the african americans are..

  • Vote on Amare Stoudemire's Jewish Streetball Name on twitter @bringitinisrael

  • Comment removed

  • Amare,

    I think what you are doing is phenomenal. I feel that most people in the US are not cultured enough to want to re-connect and discover their roots. Not only did you travel, learn, and discover - you were able to understand, and find meaning in true history. Jews are a minority in this world, and are hated by many; and as a major sports figure, I want to say thank you for standing up for what your believe in. I wish you all the best, and go ball it up in NY!!

  • @GILI680 religion...that explains why then....

  • I think this makes Amare seem so retarted and has no clue what he is talking about. Let him keep his opinions to himself, which one was "through history, we all are jewish". I mean i have never heard something more ignorant. And what is he wearing that hat for, or whatever its called?

  • @barab3 The hat is a kippa. Kippa is a from the word kafuf that means "under" or "bowed down before..." basicly a person who wears it says "god is above me".

    I think it's the same as wearing a cross for a christian.

  • @TalkBack01 Honestly , no offense i really dont care about what the hat means. I just said why is he wearing it.

  • @barab3 Oh, i thought the qestion mark was there for the kippa thing...

    I think he explains his reasons in the vid...

  • Awesome testimony about him tracing his roots! It gets deeper! Pasted up chance to purse professional football to follow the Elohiym of Abraham, [Yitzchaq] Issac and Ya'acob [Jacob]. The Elohiym of the Hebrews. יהוה [YaHUaH] is His Name... and יהושע [YAHUSHA] from the tribe of Yahudah is His Son...

  • his father is an israelite so he's an israelite

  • lol is he straining his forehead or its just like that?

  • @VIDAMANii he has a little scar right between and a little above his eyebrows.

    But the rest of his head..above the eyebrows, is just like that naturally. He has a very expressive forehead lol

  • Phoenix will miss ya amar'e!!

  • Man, I use to manage a best buy in phoenix and this fucker would just buy a ton of movies on history, he should try reading something for once... As for a basketball player, no heart, talent, but NO HEART, only played hard for us when it was time to pad his resume for free agency.

  • Ran into him right outside of the Western Wall last week, and let me just say what a great guy. Constantly asking questions to his tour guide and showing such an interest in the city of Jerusalem, yet took a minute to let me and 2 other fans get pictures with him. So impressed by this guy.

  • call me crazy but i can see the Jewish resemblance in amares face.

  • I think its cool that he doesnt mind putting himself out there like that. Good for him. Now if only he could play solid defense haha

  • what a good guy. that's impressive that he took the initiative to pursue spirituality. i was in israel. its gorgeous

  • Keep it up Amare, you'll find out that it get's even deeper than judaism. Hebrew Israelite is the goal Ahk

  • Fuck that motherfucker Amare.

  • All you Jew haters listen to him.

  • From the book The Latter Days Of Judah and Her Fall...archive dot org

  • After the return from

    captivity Judah existed for five hundred years,

    having her own rulers and governors still swaying

    her sceptre, though under the dominion of first the

    Persians, then the Greeks, and lastly, the Romans.

    She never relapsed into idolatry \ her children with

    all their crying sins remaining true to the faith of

    Israel.

  • At length the Shiloh, the Messiah, the

    Prince of peace, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,

    appeared, and shortly afterwards the sceptre of

    Judah departed, but only to melt away into a

    'kingdom not of this world,'* a kingdom purely

    spiritual; *a kingdom which cannot be moved.''

  • well the nose is jewish...

  • Jew and Black that's the only reason why ppl keep watching this

    i'm muslim and i hate when ppl get interesting cuz of they religion

    i'm really nice with jews i guess with everyone on the planet

  • The only Israelite in the room is Amare Stoudemire.

  • @spizznat121 i agree his mom look nothing to a jew and his mom looks scary to

  • L'chaim!

  • that is so nice of him and Israel so he can look into his spirituality. I wonder if he had a chance to get spiritual in Gaza or by the WALL. And see what his ZIONIST friends are doing to innocent civilians. I wonder if he saw how Palestinians are living compared to Israel people. Too bad he couldnt go with me there, I would of showed him the reality, not the Matrix.

  • Comment removed

  • first of all if his mother isnt jeiwsh this whole thing is for nothing. this might just be a spiritual feeling ,but once he comes back to america , lets see how long he will keep this up. also unless he becomes orthodox its pointless bc by judaism, u cant just pick and choose wat u want to believe its either everything or nothing.

  • @spizznat121

    Judaism is not an all or nothing proposition. You can believe in everything, but find it hard to do all of the mitzvot in the beginning...this is why you got step by step...little by little...otherwise you go off the deep end.

  • Comment removed

  • @DeepHauz for sure, but as long as one knows that whatever he is doing is not just that and no more . rather im not doing certain things(bc its hard) but i know im required to . and i am trying to do better .

  • @spizznat121 Why do JewISH people say they are Jews thru their mothers when the scriptures say you are who you are thru your fathers? (Num 1:18)

  • @waz221221 thats what jews believe (there is a reason why jews follow the mother). you dont like it , u wont be accepted as a jew , by jews. but he can always convert , but then again jews dont encourage conversion.

  • @spizznat121 it not about what I like or you like - its what the scriptures say. you say there is a reason why so called jews follow the mother..so what is it? do you know who Abraham Issac and Jacob Are? Do you know what a "seed" is? I dont want to be accepted by no fake jews who are jewISH and follow Judaism. The Most High didn't give anyone Judaism.

  • @waz221221 I applaud Amare. Anyone can see he is a spirtual intelligent man. If only more people of the world had the opportunity to learn Torah and Judiasm, the world would have more peace and less antisemitism. But the world is full of false hoods propogated by hate groups. G-d bless Amare. Avraham brought people to torah, Ruth was a convert and thus the Moshiach will come from such roots, as was Unculus, the major commentary on the torah. The list is endless. Many Tannaim, etc.

  • @michaelfr613 rabi (rah-bee) Akiva was a convert as well

  • @michaelfr613 Ruth was a Moabite. The Messiah sprang from the tribe of Juda not Moab. She cleaved to Israel, but she was not an Israelite. She gleaned the fields after the reapers as a stranger (Ruth 2:15) as in the law (Deut 24:21) and Boaz did not stop her. She was used as purpose to raise up seed for Israel. Boaz was kin to the Elimelech. So was Obed a Moabite? Being a Jew from the mother is straight nonsense (Num 1:2, Num 1:18, Ezra 2:59)

  • @waz221221 Everyone learned in Torah knows that King David came from Ruth, a convert to Judaism. You can read the lineage written plainly in the scriptutre. You are either not Jewish or an ignorant, unlearned Jew. You are mixing apples and oranges by quoting census passages. Tribal affiliation is patrilineal. For example a jew with a father from Judah and a mother from Asher belonged to the tribe of Judah. Although Jewish determination is according to the mother, any sincere person can convert.

  • @michaelfr613 Nationality goes by the seed. Boaz went into Ruth who was a Moabite and produced Obed. Obed was an Israelite because of his father. Likewise to Jesse and then to David. Yes Ruth was Davids great great grandmother but David is who he is by the fathers.

    Ezra 2:59 - And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their FATHER'S HOUSE, AND THEIR SEED, WHETHER THEY WERE OF ISRAEL:

    Is that a census?

  • @waz221221: Are you kidding me? The whole section you are referring to is once again part of counting of the returning Israelites (those that ascended from exile in Babylonia) by family name. When returning to Israel, the count is according to family name, tribe, in order to reclaim the land (which was divided according to father's tribes). You can quote English out of context all you want. Come to Israel (no sarcasim intended) and I'll help you understand the real meaning (in Hebrew).
