[00:00:00]Hidden history shows Jewish life across the Arab world lasting centuries and revealing resilience amid upheaval.

[00:00:07]From the 7th to the 20th century, Jews lived as dimmies under Islamic rule paying taxes while building enduring communities.

[00:00:15]Empires rose and fell, yet the land's sovereignty remained contested while Jewish presence persisted in cities and valleys.

[00:00:23]In 1948, about 850,000 Jews from Arab lands fled or were expelled as Israel declared independence.

[00:00:31]The claim that Palestine was an ancient sovereign state is historically unfounded, shaped by imperial redraws rather than independent Arab governance.
