- In the first episode of our new podacst Yalla! Alon and I have a conversation with the amazing composer, lyricist playwright, and anti-Zionist self-hating Jew Daniel Maté about art, activism and bringing peace to our land. He also acts as our Sensei and gives us important advice in our quest to master the art of talking to Zionists.

As your Canaanite Muslim Palestinian brother we appreciate you and we need your voice.. Thank you!
Whateverian is a great way to cut through the nonsense !!
I’m politically homeless as many are these days. Peace ✌🏻
I came for Daniel but I got courageous, sensitive Israelis waking up in real time as well. Inspirational energy. Thank you
He is great❤but this 2 guys who are in the middel of the demons.
Follow both of them. The it hehr account is “THE HEBREW CANAANITE” I think these COURAGEOUS MEN DESERVE THE ABSOLUTE WORLD!!
Does anyone else feel their heart warmed every time Daniel says inshallah?
❤️
Securing Daniel Mate as your first guest is legendary!!❤
👍✌️♥️🇪🇭
I wish you guys luck with the podcast! I would ask you as a Palestinian to look for and reach out to Palestinian leftists to have conversations with
Yes! Hearing voices from people whose voices have been muzzled. Same with impoverished people...the need to be heard.
Thank you so much for this conversation ❤ l am a white, English, non-Jewish grandmother of two beautiful little American/English Jewish boys and l feel the need to educate and inform myself as much as possible about the Israel/Palestine situation. Your words and spirit give me hope amidst the horror and the angst of the moment 🙏
As an Arab American I admire the Mate family’s courageous work. Daniel what you’re doing is courageous, I’m sure you get a lot of backlash. Also it’s nice to hear young Israelis speak other than the ones flooding TikTok with JennaCidal messages.
I am 70 years old and while I'm still alive, I'd like to see things starting to turn around, with Israel. Palestine, with the world powers cooperating, with us making a dent in climate change.
Brilliant, insightful, inspiring, especially as a non jewish who’s newbie to the whole palestinian situation so thanks again!!
Love this version of fiddler on the roof 😉
I have gotten buried so deep in the Palestinian issue, and I have forgotten my love for the beautiful humans I grew up around.
Daniel is right. Being authentic is attractive for getting your messages out. I see that in you both!
Foof, that was epic. Thanks CZcams algorithm and thanks to everyone on this podcast.
It is wonderful to hear that so many Jewish people are breaking away from the prison of old culture, which, like all cultures, have poisoned our minds. Exploring one’s mind is not selfish, on the contrary, it is the only way to dismantle the poisoned structure of the past. That is the only freedom that can connect us to humanity and life. So “Be light to yourself”. J. Krishnamurti.
I love you all guys, in Israel and Canada, thank you so much for doing this! I am in Bulgaria EU, totally - I don’t know how to say it - moved, heartbroken, devasted - about Palestine. There is no discourse in art or media that I can relate to until this genocide stops! ❤️❤️❤️
מדהימים כל הכבוד!!
Three beautiful people sharing wisdom. Thank you
So beautifully put, such pure and passionate energy. Plant the seeds :)
Listening to your talks means a lot to me. As a left wing German i am being confronted with zionism since i was a teenager. I was literally writing IDF on my table in high school. Later i watched "Waltz with Bashir" i studied arabic and persian and even some hebrew and went to Israel and Palestine for half a year, when i was 22 years old. I backpacked through the place, also Westbank and worked in a Kibbutz Close to Elat in the date fields for four months. I flirted myself into a settlement not far from Jerusalem. That has been my first real Happy relationship and it gave me so much but at one Point i had to Break up because she was too racist... That whole experience was so intense and changing for me and i think i can pretty exactly understand the vibe of Daniels summercamps. I even hang out with such summer camp youth from LA some times. Since those days 13 years ago i was regularly frustrated, confused and insulted by how crooked is the view on the Region in huge parts of German people. I was called Antisemite multiple times, deeply disturbing for me as a german who was an active antifascist since teenage days. Today, a demonstration of students for Palestine with banners which say 'never again means never again for anyone' was shown in a big german newspaper with the headline 'hate marches- antisemitism in German universities'... Like, i totally understand that you consider people from other countries watching 'spectators' but we also are being profoundly effected by zionism. Some politicians recently discussed if they could make a law, that people who want the German passport have to sign that they support Israel. I wish that there is a window opening now so the world finally understand the extreme violence and abuse that Israelis commit to Palestinians for decades.
If you want to become naturalised as a German in Sachsen-Anhalt you have to support Israel and Zionism, that is, you have accept its right of existence, and its so-called right of self-defence against the Palestinian "terrorists", otherwise they won't give you the German passport.
I don't read German, Austrian, and Swiss mainstream media anymore. They are so biased.
Your comment is quite interesting.
In my case this whole Israel mania totally passed my by as a teenager.
I had a bestie at grammar school. She was protestant but her surname was very Jewish. So, one of her ancesters had converted to Christianity without changing its surname. Her older sister went to Israel to a kibbutz.
When she came home my bestie told me, whilst beaming all over her face, that her sister got special treatment in Israel because of her very Jewish surname, because she was considered to be one of the CHOSEN ones. I didn't like my bestie's reaction, and her sister's neither.
I felt sort of repelled by this overt philosemitism, this uncritical cheering of Israel and its citizens, whilst totally blocking out Palestine's history and the existence of Palestinians in the occupied territories. I found it sort of pathological and definitely not fair and not just as to Palestinians' rights.
I remember my father once cheering Israel and Israelis agriculture. Their achievements and their superb farming skills that made the desert bloom, whilst my whole family was watching a documentary on Israel.
To me, and I was very young then, the documentary seemed very racist, it reminded me very strongly of a Goebbels propaganda film made by Leni Riefenstahl.
Very manipulative, very partisan, and very biased, showing Israelis as the CHOSEN people in their PROMISED land and just leaving out that this land where all these kibbutzim with their orchards and orange groves were, was stolen land. Land that once belonged to the Palestinian before the Nakba, before 750,000 people where dispossess and expelled, and a further 50,000 killed.
That this land on which the state of Israel exists, is originally Palestinian land. That this land was and is ancestral Palestinian land.

Well said. As a German I am ashamed to see how few people recognise our countrie's responsibility to the Palestinians. We are responsible for a devastating trauma, which is being past on and on. Thanks for your courage
You're doing deep good in the world.
❤Elik’s singing voice, esp. the lower notes👏
Thanks for this. I’m a queer JuBu nourished on diaspora Zionism now living in Spain and searching for Jewish sanity at this critical moment for Am Yisrael. Really appreciated the challenging intelligence that shines through this conversation ❤
Thank you for this uplifting honest video! I'm def subscribing to support you on your path to shining the light on what is factual... Keep bringing awesome speakers such as brilliant Daniel Mate.
Lastly, please know that your message and your song soothed me in so many ways I'm grateful to have co-created with y'all.
Great talk, thank you Alon, Elik and Sensei Daniel 🙏
Thank you for inviting us to the Dojo! You three bring hope just by being and sharing your beings with the rest of us.
As an ally from a distant land who has flipped one or two Z’s views, I wanted to share what has worked for me. My approach is asking questions instead of telling them facts or views. I poke holes on the structure that supports their views. It is actually incredibly easy cause the whole system is built on lies… so by asking a questions I bring precisely what has has been missing all this time (critical thinking) and has allowed the virus to take hold of the body. By asking questions -as opposed to telling them the truth- I make them connect with and realize that what they don’t know. So I let them talk and then ask questions about things they said that I know are not true: “do you really believe that? Why? How are you so sure? Did you check if it is true? Do you know what Israel has been doing to them? No?”
Even if they fire back with being absolutely convinced of their own vision I go back at it again and ask: “but how can you be so sure? Have you fact checked that yourself? Cause I don’t think it is true… there are many things that have happened but haven’t been told” I share a few facts… not a lot and I tell them don’t believe me, don’t believe them, go check. Even if at the moment they still hold on to their views, my questions linger on and they go with that in their minds. Usually they come back wanting to know more… so by asking questions we make the structure shake like taking out the foundational blocks of a jenga structure. It falls down easily.
Brilliant. The Socratic method is perfect. A question I ask is if you heard of a Palestinian going into a synagogue and started shooting people then they fought back and killed him with their bare hands. Would you say they are justified? Yes? I agree
Well let me tell you the story of Baruch Goldstein who moved there from Brooklyn then one day walked into a mosque and started shooting people who then fought back and killed him
Would you say they are justified? Or just savages?
A simple litmus test in a way
It helps me to understand how much prejudice I’m talking to
It’s like our conscience becomes stolen away and then there’s a calcification of comforting lies that form to protect ourselves from the truth
Peace y’all ❤
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. You guys are amazing. I also follow the One State Solution podcast. Thank you for this contribution, thank you for this courage.
I love this. We need more people like you. You are people I would love to have as neighbors.
Thank you for your Humanity 🙏🏼❤️
I listen to your conversations which are healing. It's a little light in this dark situation. My family is also into the cult, therefore I can relate. Thank you.
I, as a total outsider to the issues but interested in them for years , wish you all the best for your podcast and I’ll follow to see where it goes.
Love these young brothers. And they got an OG for their first episode: “That lightness of spirit that’s necessary to lift people”. Yesss! That part. More please 👏👏👏
Fantastic!! Well done Daniel for helping these guys grow their audience! I have been watching your recent discussions about a one state solution and have been so inspired by you both. May your voice grow strong and fast!
That was brilliant guys. I had many ideas and got a lot of insight listening to you.
Please do more on Israeli music! The good the bad and the unicorn. I am an Arab new subscriber, and I have no idea about that.
The ’ nothing can stop us now’ is great ❤ I hope Katie will talk with you guys too also with humzah saadah, sammy abeid and so on❤. You guys are just next level ❤

Can we please make many, many copies of the 3 of you and spread them around the world? Thank you for all your work and courage!
כל הכבוד לכם על האומץ לדבר ולעלות את הדברים. נפלא שהזמנתם את דניאל מאטה לשיח הפתיחה שלכם. הלוואי היה לי חצי מהאומץ שלכם לדבר בפומבי את דעתי. מכול מקום אני לגמרי במקום דומה בעמדותיי. דווקא הייתי רוצה לשאול אותכם על עניין העבריות הכנענית. כן אני מכירה את העמדה ההיסטורית של המחשבה והזהות הזו. מעניין אותי מדוע אתם תופסים את עצמכם ככאלה. ייתכן שאתם חושבים שמבחינה אתנית אתם שייכים לקבוצת העמים שישבו בחבל ארץ זה בזמן הקדום, בגלל מוצא יהודי ״והרי היהודים מוצאם מיהודה וישראל שלפני כן הייתה ישות כנענית״. אם כן, ואינני יודעת מה התשובה שלכם , אתם בולעים את הנרטיב הציוני והאוריינטליסטי. הנקודה הזו מאוד חשובה במאבק נגד האידיאולוגיה הציונית. לעניות דעתי דווקא נקודה זו ייתכן ותהא עקב אכילס בכול טענה שלכם נגד התנועה הציונית. שמי תמר ואני ד״ר לפילוסופיה, אם תהיו מעוניינים אשמח לדון איתכם ולשאול שאלות יחדיו אודות הנושא.
As a PhD you should know that the Zionist narrative is impossible scientifically... additionally... and therein lies a major rub... the Bible itself belies the Zionist narrative too even if we were utterly irrational to take it as true.
So the Bible negates Zionism... and so does REALITY too.
Bertolt Brecht's poem, "In Dark Times", speaks directly to your quandaries about the role of art in times like ours. You are not the first ones to wrestle with them!
I’m a pro violinist myself, focus on jazz, but loved seeing the violin in this context. ❤
Amazing conversation, three wonderful people with brilliant minds
Love it 🤩 1:20
Chapeau meastro !!!
Great interview! Thank you for your voices for Peace ✌🏻
Great interview guys 👏🏼
Very proud 🙏🏼
This is the kind of conversation that will uplift the frequency of energy from merely revenge fighting, to a state of consciousness that is about unity and tolerance and peace.
I watched it all ! Loved it thank you so much . ❤
Brilliant discussion! I've been following Daniel for a while but the questions you guys asked him brought out his Sensei and it was a pleasure to see him share his process. Thanks to the three of you, you are wonderful and courageous human beings prepared to do what's right even if it's currently unpopular. History will prove that you guys are heroes
Great interview. Really love your style of violin playing too
Good to see Daniel Mate. Thank you all
Daniel is such a wise man, thank you for facilitating such an absolutely fascinating conversation with him. Also I absolutely loved the song, you are insanely talented.
pheww good to hear some sane things around this issue. i start to feel insane with all the propaganda.
Well done guys! Keep going! Thanks from 🇬🇧 🙏🏽✌🏽
Touching video! My best for all of you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great first ep guys!
I think it's great that you guys are brothers and support each other
Thank you guys for this Great conversation.
Very interesting conversation and man, how awesome is it you got Daniel on for your first episode! Really enjoyed listening to the three of you!
I don`t know if you heard of him and if you would be interested, but it could be a great oppurtinity to have another great conversation if you could get Alon Mizrahi on your podcast. He is also a very interesting and wonderful person who has a lot great things to say...
Daniel Maté is an awesome guest
Can't wait till the next episode!
48:46 - Learning to emotionally regulate is very important. One great USA Palestinian guy said, when he meets Israeli in USA he just allows him to talk talk talk, and then after one actually was interested in finding out more about his village in the West Bank and looked for more info on how they live and called him. They have their talking points, just let them go thought it...
Thank you this is insightful and brilliant conversation. I’m conflicted about Standing Together. I do believe in meeting people where they are and as Greg Stoker recently said ‘no gate keeping’ but I worry it’s a bit of two steps forwards three step back judging from some of the problematic posts they made and criticism from Palestinians in the diaspora. I hope I’m wrong and I respect what they are trying to do. Anyways thank you for doing this important work of unpacking under discussed hard issues.
When Alon is talking about radical vs a more moderate approach like Standing Together it reminded me of an article I read about polarization in politics and activism. The spectrum is not a straight line that simply moves back and forth. It is a pendulum. When it swings far to one side, it will swing back the other direction even farther. The importance of moderate voices it is to bridge the gap between the two sides and bring them together into better understanding, finding solutions, and making real change that isn’t the result of something forceful that will cause the pendulum to then swing the other way again and we end up going backwards. This type of thing is very clear in American politics. We have lost all the voices in the middle who do the work to bring the sides together and we have a political pendulum just swinging back and forth. We take a big leap forward toward progress, only to then be sent flying backward again in response.
It can also be seen in nearly every revolution ever fought. Societies often end up back where they started or worse.
Real change takes time and hard work. Radical change is often short lived. It is like instant gratification. We don’t want to wait and take all the necessary steps to ensure a long lasting result. And so often that instancy creates something incomplete and the effects and results don’t last.
I grew up with this story all my life, but what I’ve seen is that the brutalitarian side is always pushing hard, and makes big, fast changes that we need to push back hard against, but the moderates say “but wait…” Dr. King spoke up about the danger of negative peace decades ago. Going slow toward progress is not any safeguard of progress, just of slowness.
What a combo! You guys are rocking it and really nice violin and song.
I didn’t know there are still Israelis who believe in peace!!❤❤
As a pro-Palestinian, non-Jewish, Anti-Zionism, retired Irishman, I hope you guys represent the tip of the Iceberg, although I know you'll understand that it's difficult to believe that today, March 31st 2024. But let's be optimistic, we don't have the right not to be, only the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have that right. Yalla!
Elik nice song powerful lyrics too.. i love your podcast with daniel mate..keep on going with what you do thank you for awakening a lot of people!!!
Happy to come on the show
You're the Israeli Vanguard boys! Katie would have you on her show and so would the Vanguard boys.
This was such a pleasure to watch ❤ thank you
Beautiful. Much needed. Thank you.
Churr u fullas 😊 keep joy alive !! I like that.
from aotearoa nz kiaora ❤
Great episode and subbed! Love from London x
In regards to the climate change conversation I recommend the CZcams channel Climate Viewer
these dudes are fabu!
great talk , constructive speech.keep the faith guys
Good music came out of America in spite of America. There was a way for it to sneak past the corrupt power structure because America was built on greed and there was money to be made. Now the power structure has found that it can produce its own mediocre music and do enough mass-marketing to convince people to buy into it. Good music is now mostly silenced in America.
Israel is likely too much of an ethno-fascist state for much good art to come out of it. A power structure like that would be very restrictive and oppressive of such things. Although not as cruel and brutal as the oppression of the Palestinians, Israel also oppresses the Jews in many ways. That's the nature of such state...it exists within the confines of falsehood and injustice.
Good luck with the podcast ❤🎉
Hi Everyone . New subscriber here .
Thank you for this!!! ❤❤❤
Hey Brothers, love your channel and podcast. May I just comment on the pronunciation of Yalla where you say it as if it is just one /l/ but actually it is stressed and doubled where you hold the /l/ sound longer (also called a dark /l/ or heavy /l/ sound) before pronouncing the final vowel /a/.
Thank you all so much!
💜
From river to the sea Palestine will be Free!
Violin!!!!
Wow, I'm putting Habiluim on my playlist
Hopeful and inspiring
This was excellent!
You guys need to have a conversation with Steven Salaita.
1:39:25 Unless it is like in Myanmar. Spiritual bypassing and religious abuse has no boundaries. Human nature is human nature, regardless what religion one is practicing. Facing the dark side and taking responsibility.
My spiritual abuse is Buddhism related. It is not pretty, not compassionate and very hypocritical practice that has been used more like a weapon to gaslight and not to "cutting through illusion".
It ruined my life.
Yeah you got Daniel!!
Exceptional..
Violin solo 🤩😇🥰
Great song!!! ❤❤
❤
Wouldn’t we say the IDF was created from traumatized people or the nakba.
The focus may go to what will the Palestinians do but what I’m curious about is the Jewish healing.
Yes! 🤙
It a viola❤…..i think
❤ i hope to see you guys in a free palestine ❤
You did it! Yay!
❤❤❤❤
