Hey dr
Peebles welcome back to flag
Fan Friday Man It's Been a While since we've done one of These Got a Lot of catching Up to do i actually Got this
New Lapel Mic i hope It Works all right i hope It works
AnyWay The Israel video is Finished and It Was Such a hard script to write i talked to a lot of You israeli and Palestinian
Geography i know that Whole debate Section in
Demographics took a long Time but I felt like i had to Address it i couldn't Just Brush it off so Anyway we're gonna talk
About Israel's
Symbolism and We Got a Lot of Fan Packages to open Up They've Been Piling Up over the past few weeks so without further Add
to you
So before we Jump in i Just want to mention a Few Things that didn't
Quite Make it into the video i didn't Really Talk too much about the fact that there are yes arab and muslim Israeli Citizens With
Full Citizenship There are about two million of them Which Makes Up about a fifth of the population
i didn't Say anything about traditional Jewish Food you Got Things like Latkes
gefilte Fish
Matzo ball soup i Actually Really love Matzo ball soup but a Really cool thing i didn't get to mention Was the fact that they
Actually had to revive the hebrew language before it came to Israel this guy Pretty much made the entire modern-day Hebrew Dictionary
prior to that the Hebrew language is Pretty Much Only Known and taught by Rabbis and the Clerics in the synagogue but once Again the
Dream Was to revive it with an entire population
Speaking It i thought That Was Pretty cool so Anyway Let's Jump in the flag Is a White banner with two blue Bands on top
And Bottom with a blue Hexagram in the center the flag Was Designed by the Zionist movement community in the late
1800s the image is supposed to resemble a tallit or
Traditional Jewish Prayer Shawl Which usually has Black or blue stripes the star in the center is the star of David an Image that has
Historically Been Acknowledged as a Symbol of The Jewish People and Judaism the blue and White colors were suggested by Ludwig august von Frankel and
Austrian Jew in His poem Judas Colors in Which he stated that White is the color of radiance and blue for splendor This of Course
Was Taken With some controversy in the Beginning Mostly By muslims as It Was Seen As an
Exclusive
Religious Symbol to which the israelis responded Well so What i mean in religious symbols are used on a Lot of Other Flags Like The
Crescent and star for muslim countries the Cross on Christian countries But Anyway Yeah the coat of Arms Moving on the coat of Arms Is
A blue and White Shield depicting a Menorah
Surrounded By olive Branches on each side with The hebrew Word for Israel Written Below at all The Menorah is based off of the menorah
Depicted in the Arch of titus Built in the first Century Showing How Jerusalem Was destroyed as The Romans took the spoils of war
Including The temple artifacts The Menorah Being One of them the
Real Menorah has Been lost since Then and this is the closest depiction that They Have for reference
It sits on an octagonal base with ornate designs on the sides and the Branches of The Menorah each complete with flower Buds and Blossomed
The Menorah Symbolizes universal enlightenment Based off of What the scripture Says in the book of isaiah
Nations Will Come to your light and Kings to the Brightness of your Dawn and the olive Branches stand for peace
Possibly an homage to what the biblical prophet Zechariah Said in Which he described seeing a Menorah Flanked with two olive trees so basically lots
of History Lots of scripture lots of artifact Stuff Applied to this Flag and coat of Arms done with that being Said
Geography Real time ok so there's where i have to apologize i actually filmed Myself?
