Iraqi actor Aryeh alias in museum of Babylon jews memories

[biapchamp]

هاهاهاهاهاهاها هذا الحجي غير لوتي خربني ضحك الله يحفظ العراقيين بكل طوائفهم وين ما چانو

[oumkulthoum]

פשוט מרגש...איזה שחקן גדול והאמת היא שעדיף לו לשחק בערבית-עיראקית מאשר בעברית, מתאים יותר

[rsadurian]

الصداقة والمحبة والمساواة كما كانت في العراق في أيام الزمان. الأحترام للدين والعقيدة كان أساس البنية العراقية عندما كان العراقي يعتز بعراقيته قبل قوميته ودينه وهذا صحيح بالنسبة يهود العراق ولحد اليوم حنينهم للعراق ما زال قوياً

[iraqiangel80]

hahahah i like this man he is so cute ,,, which nice life they had before ,,,,, he told us about Baghdad when Muslimes and Jews lived togehter and who they were like music and songs and dance ,,,, the Iraq lost nice people like this actor

[albey8100]

اين التكمله الحفله جميله

[IRbaghdadAQ]

و الله العراق قبل احلة من هسة

[salahmounirsalih]

He is fascinating for an 82 years old (young) it just shows how wonderful life was in Iraq before religion became the main identifing mark for all its citizines. The same can be said for all countries that identify themselves as Jewish, Christian or Muslim.

[hadil80]

i don't think he is mocking the iraqis - in fact i am iraqi and i am proud that some of the best iraqi artists (singers, musicians, painters, writers and etc.) are jews. they are iraqis and what are their religion is not important. when u feel as an iraqi and after 60 years you continue speaking in iraqi speech, then your background is less important than the way you feel.

[aabdulahad]

This is an absolute treasure. Thank you so much for posting the clip. Please, please can post more clips of this genius of an artist?

[fadishabella]

هههههههههههههههههه جميل جدا

شكرا الك

[Godweeps4iraq]

This rabbi looking man is mocking Iraq and the Iraqi people. He's claiming that all musicians of Iraq were Jews.

yes very nice to see the jewish iraqis , that during bad times in our history sadly were banned from iraq.

[mustafaal3zawe]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nice 7lwa

[lbeedhamid]

wonderful to see the jewish Iraqi culture continuing and kept alive by the generation who lived and enjoyed life in Baghdad with their muslim and christian neighbors. Enjoy and keep it going. Unfotunately that tolerance and harmony are lost now and would be great to bring it back.

[haimon33]

hope soon peace will come and we could again go and visit iraq

[TKOH1985]

as an assyrian and christian iraqi I can tell u we love jews and have al respect for them...

I hope that one day we and you go back to iraq... we miss it as much as u do...

[Nourasker]

very nice!! and iam looking voor my three uncles ghazi yousef hisqeel .semah ,hisqeel, and aunt noor , any body knows please contact

[nir766]

why dont  you go and ask the iraqians jews senter in "or yehooda "? thay can help you .!

[tearnet]

when I watched this video I started to cry because I discovered how much we wasted from our country, and the most important social component of our society; the Iraqi Jews, the most wonderful people. shalom friends I take off my hat for you.

[alialiraqi11]

I second that

[saefali]

هذا يتحدث بلهجة يهود الموصل ههههههههههه

[2912770]

I understood hahahaha at the end, but what did you say?

[saefali]

i saY he speak like acsent musil city langugh

[MementoExpose]

hes really cool

love israel and iraq

[geva90]

איך אני אוהב את השחקן הזה..

שיעשו תרגום אבל

[fsroor]

haha achla haoool kteer . this a beautiful thing to be an arab im glad the th jews of iraq are proud of their orgines shalom to the iraqi jews from bahrain :)

[aziz1005]

do they still speak Iraqi Arabic in Israel! this dude speaks mouslawi isnt it?.... its good 2 kno that iraqis in israel are still proud of their iraqiness.

[Yahoodi1]

its not maslawi, its the dialect of baghdad jews (which sound familiar to maslawi's one)

[haimon33]

is it close to the iraqi accent?

[2912770]

It is the Iraqi accent, no doubt about it!

[2912770]

arye bdalak we love u!

love u from ur fans in Baghdad, Iraq!!!

[fsroor]

i love iraq and this guy is so funny hehe

[hadil80]

what the abbasids did is not what the people think. many of the islamic dynasties killed muslims with different ideas too. and if the young people don;t get over these stupid prejudjes about religion and ethnicity we will never unite. we are first iraqis and after this we are arabs or assyrians or kurds or christians or anything else.

[JANAALIRAQ]

to Ineas .. yes the Moslems kick out the christains (if lived in Baghdad then you know (al.Dora) the moslems forced the christains niether become moslems or pay the money jezya) so please you should read the history becouse from the Abasi age the christain where foreced to where a chain to be recocnized so one will talk or deal with them

[drsamin]

This is very funny and many thanks for the museum of Babylon jews for preserving this tradition. I have listened to Aryeh Alias and I enjoyed it so much and wish that other contributions can be posted so the people of Iraq can appreciate the loss of such cultural work.

[legatoemc]

Thank you for posting this clip. Do you have the rest of the show? It would be great to if you upload more of his work.

Thanks again...

[49ahmad]

i remember the memory of miss bell the first secretory in embassy of UK in bagdad 1919, she accompained sir percy cocks the first UK army guide in iraq. miss bell said that 1/3 of bagdad population was jews, sason hisqel afandi was the first iraqi finnential minister. so please will you put another funny music of bagdadyan jews? for the same monolojist. thank you a lot..

[amerainer]

Jews+ Muslims+ Christain+ Mandaian(saba) = iraq. we are unlike other arabs we love each other

[haimon33]

shukran ya akhi, do u understand the jewish dialect?

[waelalt]

This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing this, it did remind me with the few good days we had back then.

It is so sad that good people were forced out from their homes in the name of God.

I wish I can meet and talk to old people just so I can hear some stories in those days.

I hope peace will prevail one day in that region.

[barhook]

Us Iraqi Jews and Muslims should stick together and rebuild our ravaged towns

[MementoExpose]

Yeah

[babylonian85]

Wow this is really cool. God Bless Iraq and God Bless Israel.

[MementoExpose]

And Kos Om ''Falasteez''

[lattoofi]

(2 of 2):

In fact, some old Muslim Baghdadi families had their spice/herb mix that they used to send to the araq distilleries to produce special family batches. We were that sophisticated in those good old days. We all wish that these days come back and that Iraqi Jews can come back to their rightful homeland and live side by side with their fellow Moslem, Christian and Sabii Iraqi to rebuild Our Iraqi.

[RapeblyFresh]

Wow I love this and enjoy it, well done,Iraqi

Mslimes,christians, and jews are all brothers.

I am proud of my cusines the Iraqi jews who still speak our langude play our songs, and proud of there routs.

Kamal

[jaelh75]

what Arabic dialogue he's speaking?I cannot understand a word he's saying...I don't think he's that good anyway -actually,I wouldnt consider him a singer ,a performer maybe.If anyone here wants to listen to good Arab Jewish singers youtube the name Laila Morad ,she's amazing .also try and youtube the name Natacha Atlas

[INEAS]

To jaelh75 Also youtube Salima Murad and Saleh al-Kuwaiti (al-Kuwaity). Jewish Arabs of IRAQ produced more than Jewish Arabs of Egypt and they still are. Ahmad Sousa was one of the greatest scholars on the subject of Arab history with regards to Jews. His reasearch and writings must be read. The performer above is talented in his comedy and the fact that he is funny remembering interesting anecdotes and songs from decades ago. I will send you a video clip we posted four days ago of Salima Murad.

[flafeem]

To INEAS,

With all due respect, I just want to draw your attention to what's called "Jewish Arab", they should be called Iraqi Jews or Egyptian Jews, not Arab Jews, the two words don't go together, it is like saying an Arab Kurd, do you agree?

[Pinturicchio77]

Thats a bit wrong, because just because you are arab doesn't mean that you are muslim. Arabs can be Muslims, Jews, and Cristians.

Arab is an ethnicity. Just as kurds. Judaism is a religion just as Islam and Christianity.

[2912770]

correct. but judaism is the only religion recognized also as a race!

[TKOH1985]

to Pinturicchio77.. u're wrong brother Christians or jews in iraq have never been arab .. Christians are assyrian or cheldan.... so please dont mix..

[mazoona]

flafeem don't brother with INEAS. He/she is a typical product of pan-arabism that is so fossilized and which assumes that everything in the middle-east is Arab. The Jews of the middle-east are one of the oldest indigenous NON-ARAB NON-MUSLIM populations who predate the Arab-Islamic conquests, like the Assyrians, Copts, Imazighen ("berbers"). The problem with pan-arabism is the conflation of speaking Arabic with Arabness. There is a distinction between being an Arab and being an ARABOPHONE.

[Ever1221]

its called maslawi accent from Mosoul norther Iraq...very difficult and weird accent

da7a8 for example means shoof

I*3shi3toono means I saw it shofto ya3ny....and many other funny sounding words

[Yasmina1983]

khaleeji i think.

thats what they speak in iraq

[FameoM]

lol no Yasmina Iraqis don't speek khaleeji.

khaleej = the gulf only. Iraqis have a unique accent, of which the khaleejis have only SOME similarities to.

[Yasmina1983]

sorry my mistake

[JANAALIRAQ]

not khaliji is just arabic plus we have more than one Lahja

[jasaahae]

The problem that every country faces with the jews is that their real allegiance is to the zionist state of Israel, not the country that they live and work in. If you look at the history of Jews in Iraq or Jews in America, they have always worked against the interests of the country that they reside in. In the 1940's & 50's hundreds upon hundreds of Iraqi Jews were spying for Israel and the UK. They were lined up & killed one by one & displayed to the general public as a message against treason.

[INEAS]

to jasaahae: thank you for shedding light on some of the truth that many Jews hide. I want to add that in Israel some Jewish Arabs (including IRAQIS) were forced, others chose, to spy on Palestinians; a matter mentioned and acknowledged by Iraqi Jews such as writer Naeem Giladi, Prof Zvi Ben Dor and others. It is so sad that under this comic piece of art, we are discussing religion and politics. Read all the comments from the start and see who started it; certainly not the Moslems.

[alawee767]

I Think you who related this historic great relations among Iraqi Arabs,Kurds,Jews,,Sunies,,,she­'ats,,,with current situations ..YOU ALL WRONG...

IRAQ big loveing land was and still home for all,,,Regadless what is going on....Now with your comments ,,you again stirring the differences,,,,,,,we lived happy as one family,,regardless who has his own way 2 enjoy life,,,,give us a chance,,, or you are scared that we will show the world how we love each others NO matter what...Respects to all

[drah800]

Not only Christians are being targeted after 2003, 4.5 million Iraqis (Muslim Sunnis, Muslim Shiites, Christians, Kurds...etc) are displaced inside and outside the country by extremist radical groups in that have no any relation to Islam.

I hope that we can return home to our beloved country and live peacefully together as before.

[INEAS]

well said drah800. They dare to forget mentioning the role of white Christian westerners in creating the problems of killing and sectarian bashing including the killing of Christians and Yezidis. The USA-UK-Iran-Israel collaborative trained militias and mercenaries, not to mention the armies of Britain/USA and the over twenty countries that invaded IRAQ under the sloagan of liberation. The 1950 law gave the option to Iraqi Jews to stay or leave, not forced them to leave. Let'em do their homework

[SasokiBazarung]

INSEA and how did the americans land on Arab soil? Who brought them into Saudi Arabia and who fabricated the facts and created the pretext for them to invade a nation if it wasn't for the filth like Chalabi, Jaffari, Maliki, Sadir, Makiya, Sistani and the likes of the muslims that served those same white christians and betrayed their own muslims in Iraq. We are talking about the brown faced christians in Iraq and not the white ones in the USA!

[SasokiBazarung]

continued.

so we blame the white christians now as if your muslim house is pure, clear and wasn't part of the problem

[SasokiBazarung]

and why not include saudi arabia, kuwait, egypt, jordan, syria, qatar aren't thise arab, muslim countries that helped the united states and harbored the current government of iraq when they were in exile? or are you still hung on your arab history?

[AlBaghdadee]

Very well said. I appreciate the fact that you comprehend this is not a religious or sectarian civil war, but rather a war for political dominance -- coincidentally some backward "religious" leaders (I'd prefer not to name names) use their authority as a means of influence for their personal political agenda.

No one is working together for a common goal -- for a sovereign, unoccupied, peaceful Iraq.

Thus the country cannot function through democracy.

[INEAS]

to AlBaghdadee: I think before you "very well said" SasokiBazarung, you should have read all his posted comments to realize that he contradicted himself and that he bashed on Islam and Moslems making it at least indirectly a religious confrontation. Why don't you bring to his attention that the Farhood of 1941 for instance was not religiously motivated as many Jews say about Moslems, but rather politically motivated due to the German-British confrontation and who allied with them then?

[INEAS]

I wrote, "and who allied with them then," it was not meant to be a question, so there is no need for the question mark, which was typed in error.

[AlBaghdadee]

To INEAS: Agreed. I'll be absolutely frank with you and plead ignorance on the history of Jews in Iraq - and would be quite interested in learning, as I noticed you were offering yasm2002. The only thing I know about any Arab Jews not from North Africa for that matter, is that the state of Israel carried out attacks on Synagogues in the region to try to persuade them into migrating to Israel - this is a well established fact, but other than that I'm completely clueless and thus neutral.

[Anoutta]

To INEA, I know the iraqi law.& the low u r talking about is(an INK on a paper),reality is they were kicked.My Dad accountant & best friend, in one night he was dragged out of his house with his child & wife and nothing with him, and do u know how did he left his country ? on a DONKEY ?to Jordan maybe u could try it instead of using aircraf, he warned my father that our turn (Christian) will come,and yes it did with this ethnic cleansing, as SASOKIBAZARNH comments.enjoy the clip.

[SasokiBazarung]

This comments if for INEAS, the ethnic cleansing that's taking place in Iraq is being done under the full konwledge of the current Muslim government. The christians who have been assasinated who lived in Dorah, Basrah, Mosul, Baghdad you name, have been killed by both Shia and Sunnis. The reason that a Muslim like yourself who chose to live in the USA rather than Iran, Turkey or any other Muslim country for that matter tell us enough that you prefer Christianity over Islam.

[INEAS]

To SasokiBazarung; What a funny conclusion! I choose not to comment further because you have made up your mind that Moslems and Islam are bad and that we live in the USA because we love it and prefer Christianity over Islam.LOL. I don't think any of you, bashing on Moslems and Islam have more tolerance than the Moslems you are criticizing.

[INEAS]

cont. to SasokiBazarung

In fact, all of you who bashed on Moslems and Islam are more intolerant and hateful than them, and the proof is that you couldn't even listen to am enterntaining sketch without turning the matter/opportunity to political discussion and bashing on Islam. PLEASE do your homework before talking about something you know little to nothing about, and more importantly listen to the humor of this talented performer and stay away from this hobby of insulting Moslems and islam.

[salam77]

How genuine is this, very nice , I love all Iraqis regardless of their religion or background, just keep it clear and don't talk politics here, enough , just enjoy these beautiful people.

[Anoutta]

Really funny and hillarious, his accent is so nice ( more masllawi -from Mosul ),,, Yes the Jews had kicked from their homes and country .

My parents used to tell me they were v nice and v clever people. My Dad used to say after Saturday comes Sunday (for Christain ) and how true is this now our churches were burnt, priests & bishop killed and we have no where to go and no one from all the nations cares. But we have our Lotd Jesus Christ with us to protect us.

[JANAALIRAQ]

hi I'm Iraqi Christian the moslems kick us out just like you .. but the big deffrence that we don't have a place to go like you (Isreal), dad's always says they werer ggod and nice people, GOD Bless all jewish

[INEAS]

When did the Moslems kick Christians out in IRAQ? Can you provide a time and some details of at least one known event please? You and yasm2002 cann't seem to enjoy art without messing up with senselss misinformation about politics and religion. Cann't you just enjoy the clip without insulting others?

[JANAALIRAQ]

you know why we can't enjoy anything becouse when you kick us out I can't see my family anymore I'm in sweden and they are in USA so that's why I can't enjoy anything.

[INEAS]

Why are you using the pronoun 'you'. Who is 'you'? Why are you using such accusing and emotional vocabulary? Were you kicked or escaped war? There is a difference.The few fanatics who did so took orders from the USA-UK-Iran-Israel collaborative, working tirelessly to divide IRAQ. Christians have never been treated unjustly in IRAQ. This is a plan by the Judeo-Christian West to devastate IRAQ and force Christians to leave and live in their countries, they did the same to the Jews. READ HISTORY.

[259726]

Ineas, you know factual events. Some organizations didn't comply with the USA-UK-Iran-Israel connection, so they were driven out of the land. Their doing the same to the Palestinians but more aggressive. Peace

[yasm2002]

I agree with you 100%.

[yasm2002]

Im Iraqi and my parents told me the Iraqi Jews were very nice people but Arabs muslims kicked them from their homes.

Look how they still love Iraq.

[INEAS]

That is not true. Moslems did not kick them out. You need to do your homework yourself and listen to what your parents are incorrectly stating. If you truly care about Iraq and Iraqis, then you should learn the facts, and not rumors. We will happy to email you details on what happened and why the Jews left or forced to leave. Again, the Moslems did not kick them out, PLEASE enough disinformation.

[yasm2002]

I prefer to know the reality from Iraqi Jews not from you.

Islam say about them "Awlad Al8irada wa Alkhanazeer"

If someone want to leave the country they will sell their homes and leave...but they didn't.

[INEAS]

Islam does not say that. This is very childish. This is what some Jews have came up with in accusation of Islam. You need to read the 1950 law that was passed by the Iraqi government. The law gave the choice to Jews to stay in Iraq or leave. It did not kick them out of IRAQ. PLEASE do your homework before posting such misinformation. I'll be happy to send you a copy of the law if you care to learn, but if you chose to insult and misinform, this is my last comment.

[yasm2002]

dont talk about the law. Even in Iraq now the law doesnt say kick the Christians...but bad muslims who want to kill (Alkafara) doing that from the teaching....I saw a clip of 3 years old girl saying I hate hews because Mohammad asked us to do that and he r parents were proud of her. If you are nice with jews and christians that is mean your a very good person and not deep in Islam.

[JANAALIRAQ]

that sooooooooooooo right

[promisemesomething]

איזה מלך אריה אליאס.

you will always remain iraqis as long as you still love iraq and its people

[shkshook]

This is hillarious, This old fella is the funniest, he is true Iraqi and his accent what amaizes me the most.
