I’m Glaswegian born and bred but my ancestors are from Pakistan. Every time my relatives in Pakistan ask about the Scots people, I tell them that most Scottish people are the true embodiment of the word ‘brave’. Here is an example of that.
I agree. brave Scottish heart. This is my experience with Scot’s people over the years. Palestinians face such aggression and hostility many times every single day though.
Nelson Mandela told TeD Koppel on 21 June 1990 : 'Your enemies are not my enemies'; ' We identify with the PLO, because just like ourselves they're fighting for the right of self determination'. Well said, Cullum, like Mandela, you are a man of integrity.

@@katehe1en224 Jesus pbh was a Palestinian. What is your point of your jackonory? I suppose you support the killing of innocent people by the illegal state of Israel? Yes illegal that's what the majority say.....shame on you and by the way before you jump on your high horse I have no issues with the Jewish race b4 you play the anti semitic card
Israeli here, these questions sound standard to me, especially for unusual travellers. Even as an Israeli citizen, when I was living overseas I'd get questioned and even detained (especially when I mentioned staying with an Iranian family on one of my trips). The questions they ask everyone include why you're coming, how long you plan to stay, did someone give you something etc. If you have been to an "enemy" country or certain areas considered a potential security risk, you'll get more questions. Also probably if you present as Muslim (although not necessarily). I think the main reason they detained you for longer is because you didn't have a return flight and you'd recently been in several "suspicious" countries. In any case, there's nothing to fear and while it may be uncomfortable, if you're coming legally and don't have anything to hide, just be honest and patient and all will be fine. There's no reason for visitors with Pakistani heritage etc to fear.
@@onyx9943 Zionism is the National Liberation movement of the Jewish people. The movement that spearheaded our return to our homeland. So that now HALF of all Jews in the world live in Israel. Don't like it, then come to Israel and try to do something about it. You will find that we no longer live undefended in a ghetto anymore. Things won't be as easy for you as it was for your ancestors when they attacked us.
I’ve been there Callum it happened to me in USA and it’s not nice. I am Muslim and was denied entry when I had been going there 2-3 times a year prior to that. I booked for 3 months and eyebrows were raised. Respect to you for being so truthful and showing is Muslims respect and love ❤️🥰 Stay safe and keep on creating great content you have many supporters Mashallah 🙌🏻💯🎉
I'm Israeli citizen. It's really dad's they have too do this. Their are so many terror attacks and they were all Muslim. The Israeli people love most everyone but it's like a war zone over here right now. Just a terrible situation for everyone.
I live right near the Al Aqsa mosque. 10 minute walk. Muslim and Arab ppl are just like anyone else. With terror is just a really messed up situation right now esp. Israelis are good ppl too. It's the govts that are fighting. Salaam.
I am travelling to Jerusalem later on today, I was bit shocked that why Israeli security officers are holding so much negativity in their hearts and minds. But I really appreciate you for being firm and steadfast during the interview and they way you answered. I have Lots of respect for you brother
Everything with you is about hatred and racism... There's a thing called "national security". With the way it looks you Arab don't know the meaning of it...
@@toassistindotold me as born and bred Brit, that Pakistanis can’t speak English and to speak English when I clearly was speaking English. More examples than that.
@@faisalkhan786fk first off I’m sure there’s a bit of context to that convo. Second I’ve personally travelled with and have seen others with south Asian backgrounds like Bangladesh be treated totally normal as one would anywhere. So to claim Israelis have hate in their hearts and minds because you might have met some a**hole is generalizing to fit an agenda or world view. If you want to look for trouble with the police you can definitely provoke it and find it

@Goat Mapper There has never been a state called Palestine, Palestine was the name of a region! When the Romans conquered Israel and expelled most of the Jews, they decided to change the name of Israel to Palestine to destroy any connection to Judaism and changed the name of Jerusalem for a time to Cathelina. They named Israel Palestine in honor of the Philistines, who were from Europe and came to try to conquer Israel and lost. That happened 600 years before the religion of Islam was born. The name Palestine has always been a name identified with the Jewish people. You can see old maps, coins, place names registered in Palestine and nearby registered in Hebrew Eretz Israel. Israel is mentioned in Roman writings, ancient Greek books, ancient English literature, and more. Always in his name like Israel and Palestine. Today's Palestinians are descendants of 7th century Muslim conquerors combined with descendants of immigrants from Arab countries who arrived during Ottoman rule. The Arab population in the area adopted the Palestinian identity in 1964! And the State of Palestine was officially declared a state in 1988! They are the conquerors not Jewish. Jewish people are indigenous to this land, Israel is Jewish homeland
@@Adi-gh9du The truth is that he sent up multiple red flags going into a country that has to be very careful about who it allows entry. Trained professionals detained him, but eventually let him into the country. He then used his videos to complain about that experience, but guised it in nice words. How does that interpret into “stood his own ground”? And don’t be so sure regardless of what he says and how appealing his accent is that he didn’t know that he was going to be tagged.
Actually it was his honesty which was appreciated. He did the right thing about telling the truth. However it would have been better if he had a return ticket.
This was bound to happen at least it’s over with and you had nothing to hide so you have nothing to worry about. Is what it is!!! Keep doing what you’re doing Callum 👍🔥

I can tell you that a famous Israeli singer who immigrated from Iran when she was little was refused a visa by the US. Security is a bi*ch in many countries (western and democracies and all).
No reason they won't let you in, unless you have dealings with a terror cell or something. If you're just a tourist and have a visa you're welcome regardless of your background.
I've been to Palestine as a British pakistani as part of a group from the UK. ALL of the MEN were harassed and held at the airport upon arrival, but later released. Nasty lot, they are!
@@tranquilbeing1715 no. Just doing their Jobs. Now imagine if you were a Jewish Israeli trying to get into Pakistan for a visit. The Pakistani border security would do the exact same thing.
Very similar experience. I am Palestinian and I went with a French friend and his sister. We got separated, to compare stories of course. After hours of questioning, one of the interrogators told my friend’s sister “ if you are with a possible terrorist, me, you’re a suspect yourself”. She filed a complain after returning to France, I am sure it was tossed in the trash.
@@FahadFSA I have dual passports. They are obligated to respect European passports, but they will let you know directly or indirectly “ we know who you are “
This actually gave me anxiety. I got stopped one year traveling to Japan. The questions were non stop and I was kept for ages. Whole suitcase unpacked and strip search.
@@TL.... I was travelling alone to visit my ex bf who was working there. I was the only tall blonde caucasian on the plane and they stopped me. Asked me if I was a mule and searched my bags umpteen times. I was crying because I genuinely got worried even though I had nothing to hide. Looking back I can laugh now haha.
@@CallumAbroad You are always welcomed to Pakistan there are plenty of beautiful churches in Pakistan especially up north in Murree and Nathia Gali. All people belonging to all religions are invited in mosques around the world, some of the mosques are very historic with beautiful architecture that's the reason why most tourists visit these mosques.
Well, you'll just have to understand that is not easy for them either. Be truthful, patient and calm, things will be okay. Their security comes first (that's for every country). You fit a "profile", so the interview is to dismiss it. There you go!
Just imagine the oppression our muslim brothers and sisters are going through in 🇵🇸 plus plenty of people from the uk who are born and bred here and not travelled to any of the 'High risk countries' you have travelled to, when they go to palestine are questioned for hours on end. Most oppressive regime in the world
Thinks that an exaggeration . They let him in , didn’t stamp his passport so he can go to countries that don’t have relations with Israel , let him travel to West Bank and let him record throughout Israel . Try convincing me Israel is the most oppressive regime in a world which includes North Korea , Afghanistan , China , oppression of women and gays in many middle eastern countries
If the Palestinian people didn't commit tones of terror attacks against Israeli civilians for more than 100 years, there wouldn't be a need for strict security in Israel's airports.
@@shed101 a lot of people refer to North Korea, do you have any examples of personal experiences involving North Korea?? Or even any of the other countries you mention?
I am sorry you have to go through this. I was put in a waiting room because my background is Palestinian. Born and raised in the United States, they ask about my background and family members. To be honest. I wasn’t comfortable giving out my personal info to completely strangers. When they saw my last name Abdallah, they thought I was Muslim. I am a Palestinian Christian.
They did the same to me and my parents especially my mom the last time we went in 2018 because she had a Palestinian ID when she left and they asked me for my email and phone numbers too. We are also Christian Palestinians.
Great content Calum. I've enjoyed watching ur videos as they are informative and show ur real experience. Glad you were able to get in and show us that it's not all war there. Very sad for the people who are suffering on both sides.

@@CallumAbroad hey callum I saw the video I am Israeli I wanted to say why the agents were suspicious and interrogated you, basically when you visit countries that are enemy’s with Israel etc. you might go into a interrogation with agents etc. Israel takes security very seriously because you don’t know if your terrorist or not israel is basically banned from the countries that you were visiting or planned on visiting like Syria Lebanon and iraq etc. but anyways pakistan and Israeli relations are horrible there basically enemy’s with Pakistan and once Pakistan threat israel by dropping nukes on major cities, so basically israel bans Muslim enter for some countries like Libya Syria Lebanon iraq Yemen, Pakistan iran etc. also the same for israel these countries also are banned from entering Israel, and more safe travels.
If you think that's bad, try going back to any of those countries with an Israeli stamp on your passport. The authorities in those countries won't be as nice.
They werent mad at you for going to their enemies, they suspected you were sent to israel for some reason. btw, israel doesnt stamp your passport when you enter so you can go to lebanon or any other "enemy" country without getting in trouble so yea you're welcome.

New to your channel mate. Loving the content. Must've been a nerve-wracking experience dealing with the Israeli security services. One day you'll laugh about it. A story to tell your grandchildren. I got held for several hours at Orlando airport. I was marched from the customs desk to a holding room and told to wait for an interview. Eventually I was called to conduct an interview and the person interviewing me had no idea why I was called in and immediately released me. 🤷 Anyway, Extremely happy they let you enter and see the holy land.

@mars mars There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, Palestinian culture, or Palestinian language, or Palestinian history. There has never been a Palestinian state, nor any Palestinian state. Not a Palestinian archeological find nor a coin. Today's "Palestinians" are Arab people, with Arab culture, an Arabic language, and Arab history. They have their own Arab states from where they came to Israel about a century ago (Egypt, Lebanon, etc). This fact is revealed if you study the family names of about 80% of the "Palestinians" you will be able to see that they are actually not natives to the land - A huge families go by the name "El-Masry" (The Egyptians) and "El-Soraney" (From Tyre in Lebanon) others from Saudia-Arabia and so on. This is the historical truth.
Callum, I’m rooting for you in your future endeavours. Living in London my whole life, I’ve slowly come across more and more Irish and Scottish people, especially in the past four years. And due to my experiences with the few I know, I see lots of common grounds and genuineness. To the point, two of my closest friends are now from those regions. I’m thankful in many ways as I grew up with a predominantly South Asian and black community but now my horizons are slightly broader. I would love to be able to travel and experience the world like you. But I’m hitched with two kids and a mortgage to pay 😂 Subbed

It's how the State of Israel works I think. They don't the people coming in and going out. Threatened from almost every direction, they gotta do everything possible to keep disruptive visitors out.
pretty common experience for people that don't have an Israeli passport. had cousins come over from Russia, they were interigated for hours. really sucks that it is that way.
Hi Callum.thanks for sharing. Had the same experience with my sisters.we are Muslim. We went to Jordan in 2019 and wanted to do a day visit to Palestine to visit Al Aqsa Mosque. They took our passports and kept us waiting for about 5 hours! In the end we were questioned briefly and then were let in.we didn't have much time so we quickly visited Al Aqsa then returned to Jordan.

I used to get questioned at the airport as an English woman. When I was asked where I'd been staying and I answered honestly - in an Arab village in an Arab household, that was it! Why hadn't my fiance come to the airport with me? He has! He's there! So he got questioned too. Luggage tipped out, stuffed back in. Taken away, told by female to strip down to my underwear, metal detector passed up and down my body. One time my calculator wasnt working - it was rubbish - told me to show them how it worked - it wouldn't! Taken away to look at it. To be fair I learnt after calculators could be used as detonator. I was eventually let go to get my flight. I didn't mind that much, I understood why they were doing it but some are better than others. Another time, totally different approach. I still remember him today.
Hi, as in Israeli I appreciate your honesty and fairness telling your story. Unfortunately, those kind of interviews are basically forced upon Israeli security since there are a lot of threats coming from those parts of the world. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time and hopefully you’ll come back again!
Thanks for taking time to watch the videos and leave a nice comment. I have zero ill feelings regarding being stopped and questions. I believe it’s important to stop any potential threats. I think some people think I’m upset, I’m simply just documenting my experience. Met some amazing people from different communities ✌🏻 Have a great day 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@Danny Al It's not israel that said they want to do a holocuast , it's not israel that said they want to nuke Iran and it's not Israel that said that hitler is the role model of the country. The previous leader of Egypt Anwar saddat that said hitler is his role model, it's palestine's current leader that said he's proud to be the person that killed the most jews since hitler and it's Iran's regime that said they started the nuclear program to nuke Israel.
@@salemtully7055 You'd be surprised how many people that look innocent did horrific things when they travelled to Israel, what they saw is that his passport was in several enemy countries so they made sure he's not doing something bad in Israel. Yes you can be cheesy and say "tHey Are YouR EnEmiEs NoT MinE" that's kind of the point of the interview, these country's leaders say they should do a second holocuast, so you'll get interviewed in case you wanna do an attack
Callum I understand where you are coming from in this video. I was stopped for 17 hours when I went to Israel in February 2018. Mind you, my questions were more intense - background, passport, my phone was taken to be searched, body searched, blood sample plus mouth swab. All in all, a fantastic experience for me 💯
I am Israeli. I live in Israel. As long as you're honest about your travels, you're not going to have an issue. If you're still here, let me know how I can help. PS: Always have a return flight.
My wife is romanian , christian, she has been only in EU countries all her life, she HAD a return flight, but still we had the same process and even worse. Guess what, im her muslim husband :)
@@gendermapper5995 I don’t disagree with you on that. I also think he needs to be clear that he wasn’t “detained”, but put for questioning for obvious reasons. Anyone that doesn’t know that this will cause issues obviously hasn’t researched their destination.
@@wpkrock95 I do not think that this should be representative on all Israelis, though. You seem to forget or not know about the Hindawi Affair. If you understood or knew about this, you might have more sympathy as to why they take things like this seriously. Should it be taken as every Muslim is bad? Of Course Not. However, whenever there’s security or regulations in Israel, there’s obviously a reason for it.
Definition of Detained - keeping someone or holding them back or making claims on their attention. So unfortunately you are incorrect on this Thanks for checking out the video tho, it’s genuinely appreciated ✌🏻 all the best
Good vlog. I'm a Brit (Atheist) who lives in Malaysia. Sadly of course this goes both ways, when you try to enter certain Muslim countries with an Israeli stamp you will also get questioned. All we can do is continue to ignore the politics and religious extremist groups and enjoy the world and the (mostly) wonderful, friendly people in it.

Hey Callum , I’m not surprised by your experience.I understand your perception of a strange line of questioning , however, I know their security have experienced scenarios which would prompt them to be suspicious of your travels.Also I am interested in your demeanour while being questioned.That is what they focus on , where you so calm and collected at that time as any nervousness would alert them.I have a cousin who is a bit highly strung , they removed her from an El Al flight under suspicion and she is Jewish.
it’s your calm persona that carry’s you Callum Yes every Country has the right to protect their interests however, one only has to see anyone of your videos and see your no threat to anyone. Callum you keep going and showing us the world as it is. Bless ya son ❤️💕❤️💕
Israel has good reason for security. Theres a procedure in place. If you fit a certain profile, they ask certain questions. You answer a certain way, there’s protocol on what to ask or do next. It’s unfortunate there are so many people out there who would love to do harm.
I'm born in the uk, parents Pakistani. I went via Jordon to Palestine to visit aqsa. I was held for ,5 hours on the coach, and the female soldier followed me in and out the toilet. Evil people oppression against Palestinians. You can see the fear in their eyes. I wore western clothes and was stopped twice and passport checked. Muslims also have a separate queue at border crossing
Many enemies of israel completely deny people who were in israel to enter their countries, Israel had many terrorist attacks so it brings sense they interogatted them if he was in many hostile countries
So basically they questioned you because you had traveled to countries that have direct and public hostilities with Israel. Then they let you in because they deemed you weren't a threat. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
@@kiwihorne1969 Save yourself some more time. He whined about it in every other following video. There are much better YT sites if you want to see Israel.
Israeli person here. While I might not agree with my countries leadership and such, at the end of the day we are bordered by 'enemies' at all sides, so we must make sure that nobody with malicious intentions enters the country. I do think they are a bit harsh regarding such topics, as at the end of the day people just wanna see the world and tour many places, regardless if those places are enemies with one-another. I'm Israeli, and I really wanna visit Egypt to see the great pyramids and the ancient ruins there, but because of where I live, I cannot go there, which I think is very unfair. Governments and security should judge people not by the places they went to or by their place of origin, but by their intentions and motives for visiting.
With all the political problems in Pakistan right now with Imran Khan not favoured as a leader by the West and Israel our nation is on the watch list for sure
One teacher used to say, that the only time he will visit our third holy site is liberating it. Anything less is humiliating. Imagine how they treat us Muslims when we visit
There are tones of Muslim tourists visiting Israel. a young man who visited countries that are not exactly tourist destinations but are hotbeds for Islamic terrorism, and did that even more than once, surely raises suspicion.
And where is your third Holy site? Because there is nothing Holy to Islam in Israel. The al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was not named or built until 70 years after Quathem's death. There was no Muslims in Israel until Umar. And there was a garbage dump on the temple mount he cleared in order to build a small mosque. The real al Aqsa mosque that Muhammed had prayed at is in J'irrana, Saudi Arabia.
Hello everyone i need some advice i am a muslim/arab person who really wants to visit the holy land of jerusale any advice for airport security questions ? should i be careful
Hey, no its not really that bad you are gonna ask questions so they know you didn't come to terror, so just be chill and everything will go smoothly, the people in the tlv airport are be read for long lines tho
This parallels my experience in Israel. By the way, I'm an American who's half scotch and Hungarian, and I've never been to a Moslem country. Please let us know (if you can) if misadventures magically befall you in the UK or elsewhere. This inludes landlords wanting $10,000 US every month for apartments where the toilets and sinks back up. This is after telling one the rent is $1050 per month. Of course the landlord will conveniently neglect to send one a contract.
This is why I like watching Callum’s videos, he’s a genuine guy making videos of his travels. Just imagine if you had brown skin and a beard you still would have been there 😂😂 Keep up the good work
You're comment is pretty racist since most Israeli people do have brown skin and a beard.. Let me remind you that many Jews migrated from Morroco, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria and Egypt to Israel. There's an Israeli actor called Tsahi Halevi who was voted as "most handsome man" a few years back (and he's married to an Israeli Arab woman)
@@HackingWithPanda I’m sure he meant if the person was Muslim. And let me remind you that the mizahri and Sephardic Jews themselves are discriminated in their “own country”. don’t forget about the Ethiopian Jews that were sterilised by the Israeli state with forced injections.
@Mohammed Naseer The original comment was about looks. The following comments were about that racists comment. The majority of Israeli men look exactly like that. It’s the truth, not a “default attitude”.

This is our security protocol. If you don’t like it, don’t come here. Respect our security needs. Respect our people. Respect our country. In Israel, security is the most important thing. We don’t care who you are, or where you come from. If there’s alarm bells around you, you WILL be checked. We endure terrorist attacks every single day, and we take every single precaution to prevent them. And yes, asking if you are a Muslim IS a valid question. 99% of the terrorist attacks here are executed by Muslims.
Hi Callum, fellow Glaswegian here. I follow you on TicTok. I've been living in Tunisia for nearly 3 years. You weren't asked strange questions by the Israeli guards, it's VERY strange for you and anyone who wants to travel to these countries. Even though we are free to do so and our intentions are pure. But they don't see it that way. You have to just roll with it. Stay safe happy travels
" our intentions are pure" ! So if your intentions were to help the Palestinians or shed a light on thier suffering or showing solidarity with them then these intentions would not be pure? My intentions are pure ,I am here for sightseeing ,I will just overlook the ongoing persecution, who cares anyway ,all is good, don't worry. Human beings never fail to disappoint.
'Are you Muslim?' 'Do you intend becoming Muslim?' 'Why did you visit so many mosques?' 'Why do you visit the enemies of Israel?' Are these not STRANGE questions? It smacks of Racism, Paranoia.
From a nation that has elements who delight in killing Palestinian children, I am not surpised to hear your experience. Glad to hear you met some great jewish, Muslim and Christian ppl. I hope one day Palestine will be at peace again.

@@CallumAbroad I have travelled to Israel without problems and most people who do, get a general profiling to make sure people are not entering the country with some hostile intent that can cause genuine security problems. Many Muslims will have no problems entering the country and usually those who openly enter as Muslims will be allowed through if they have an address like a hotel or invitation to be there eg. on business or seeing friends and relatives.I know an Iraqi born friend who was Christian with his Iranian born wife who went to visit. They had questions , but were with an organised group and had no problems after being questioned . And so it is horses for courses and I'm glad you emphasised that you were treated with respect and cleared security to enjoy the country. Interesting and honest of you.
@@katehe1en224 Before the Babylonian Empire there was the Assyrian Empire who Ruled Supreme over all the Land from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea......... Israel and Judah had neither polity, hegemony or any type of sovereignty as tribute paying vassals [ vassal : A state totally dominated by a Superior state.. A holder of land by feudal tenure on condition of Homage and Allegiance] The Israelites paid huge tribute of Gold and Silver to their Masters and Overlords the Mighty Assyrians, and when the Israelites got greedy and withheld their tribute /rent the Mighty Assyrians kicked them off THEIR Land. When you don't pay your rent to your Landlord........ You get evicted.
I hope you enjoy everything in Israel!! You have to understand the situation we are in Israel with all the enemies in the Middle East and especially in Afghanistan. Both Muslims and Christians live in Israel, so that's not the problem.
Wish you wellness and safety - from Palestine 🇵🇸 Btw, look at the number on the sticker on your passport. It indicates the level of security threat you supposedly represent. 1 is lowest, 6 is the highest. I am guessing you were a solid 6, no doubt.
when palestine was establish? who was its first ruler? when was jerusalem the capital of palestain or any other country? th-cam.com/video/xYEzXyy8PWs/w-d-xo.html
@@MrColey786 on your passport, once you check in, officials add a sticker either with the individual number (1-6) or something like a barcode (the rate would be the last digit)
I understand what you're feeling a friend from France also got questioned for quite some time regarding his visit but you need to understand that it's tense here and Muslims are sometimes using Europeans to disturb the country to say the least, it's just for security reasons I wish we wouldn't have to do that but sadly we have to
Hi my name is Idan and I am in Israel citizen I am very sorry for what they have done to you in the airport . The situation is very very complicated in terms of Homeland security .If you want we can talk and I will explain you What was the incentive of asking all these questions. Next time you visit Israel you can say you know me if you want
Also from Glasgow, had same happen to me in Boston, usa - 4 hours asking about ethnicticity, had I been to x country, had family been. I started becoming cheeky in that Scottish way, told the officer Murphy isn’t a American surname what’s your family history. His boss had to step in and I was freed
This is what I was waiting for. You'll notice they'll have a completely different tone in the comments section but the reality is that they don't allow people free, who can potentially expose their true nature so instead they interrogate anyone and everyone coming in and out, and its 1000x worse for Palestinians. Journalists get similar treatment so it's still very limited and restrictive for anyone who wants to show transparency. Every youtuber I've come across so far has had a similar experience but the only time you'll feel completely humiliated and degraded was if you were a Muslim. Have a look at what happened to Jay Palfrey 😳 👀
If the Palestinians weren't busy committing heinous terror attacks against Israeli civilians for more than 100 years, I assure you the security scrutiny in Ben Gurion airport would have been very different.
@@paksallion It's very true that Israel isn't even 100 years. I didn't want to add the Jews in this land so not to complicate things. But since you're informed I would rewrite my comment - If the Palestinians weren't busy committing heinous terror attacks against Israeli civilians and Jews before 1948 for more than 100 years, I assure you the security scrutiny in Ben Gurion airport would have been very different. If you think that the Arabs in the holy land started murdering Jews only after there was Israel and these Jews were called Israelis then you're dead wrong.
@@abcxyz8787 obviously youre wrong, if you dont understand how long a countries existed then youve fell at the first hurdle and lost all credibility sorry. You show me heinous crimes commited against Jews in Palestine prior to 1948? I'll wait.. remember heinous means it's odious and extremely wicked against that demographic.
Thanks for this vlog, Callum, I'll send it to my Muslim friends so they are forewarned if they wish to visit Israel. I think it will put them off though. I visited Israel about 8 years ago and upon arrival at Tel Aviv airport I was just asked if I knew anyone there, which places I was visiting and why. My sticker that they gave me started with number 1. The only Muslim country that I'd previously visited was UAE. TH-camr Jay Palfrey, a recent convert to Islam made a vlog detailing how he was slapped about a bit during his interrogation at Tel Aviv Airport. Congrats on reaching 10k.
@@CallumAbroad dude Israel does this for everyone I am a Israeli citizen and they would do the same to me because it’s for a security measure has nothing to do with apartheid or with Arabs it’s has a lot to do with the second intifada but i hope you enjoy your stay after u should go to Haifa it’s beautiful there
@@annablack3126 well looks like you never been in a situation where your a black man stopped by police man and make you feel like a suspect while your just a innocent guy
Hi Callum! I don't know from which country you belong but you are a very genuine person.i love the way you praise Muslims, my country and Pakistanis🥰 keep spreading love.may Allah always protect you from such evil people...
They're just doing their job, nothing evil about it. If they didn't then the real evil people would be doing a lot of rather avoidable disasters in Israel
Much love from a Palestinian brother it’s much bigger then just “enemies” they oppressed my people and lands and so they are always on edge since they know they are in the wrong
It’s has nothing do with apartheid or Arabs I’m a Israeli citizen and they would do the same To me it’s manly because of the second intifada with the suicide attack back in the early 2000s has nothing to do with being in the Wrong
If your people haven't been murdering Israeli civilians on a regular basis., there wouldn't be strict security at Israel's airports. In away, you can blame your people for that.
@@_mo_aj_ yes they do if you go to Ben gurion airport they will always do this especially if you are a tourist they do this to even Americans especially if u visit other countries that don’t diplomatically recognize Israel I mean if u actually been there or are from the land you would know this
Hi Callum, Israelis are very direct with the way they ask questions in general so it’s nothing out of the ordinary given all the countries you’ve been to. The truth is the main threats to Israel come from Muslim extremists, and sometimes they use westerners to try and evade suspicion. For example an Irish girl back in the day went to Syria and met an intelligence officer there who gave her a “gift” to take on a flight to Israel, which turned out to be a bomb. That’s why they wanted to know who you had met and if you were thinking of converting to Islam. Hope you had a great trip otherwise, cheers
there is a difference between being direct and arrogant behaviour of selfishness and suppority and put others down. In honesty isreal real enemies is itself .
Muslim person here I went here on 19th December and yes you are correct we had to wait 6 hours for the interview and so on eventough our group was only group there as was during graveyard hours. They check all your social media, ask many questions, interrogate you as much as they can but eventually give you your visa.
As an Israeli I can tell you that you are just complaining!!! You speak from the eyes of a foreigner who suffers from zero security problems. Israel is surrounded by enemies and must be protected from them. I would like to present a certificate of excellence to the security personnel at the airport.
I can relate to that .. we were made to exit our vehicles before we even reached the terminal for our flights back home and were made to wait in a room … for hours, with cameras of course .. whole idea was to make us agitated so that we do something silly out of frustration ! My husband specifically told me to keep my face straight 😀 Oh and yes they went through our luggage without us being informed
Salam calum I can see that the seed of Islam has been implanted in your heart, I have no doubt you will embrace ISLAM the truest and most beautiful religion
Israel is surrounded by Muslim countries that don’t recognise it as a sovereign state. I’m not getting into the political situation, but given that I could totally understand their line of questioning given your travel history and not having a return ticket.
I expected to be questioned. I didn’t expect them to say it’s weird that I visit mosques as a non Muslim… is it weird that I went to the great synagogue as a non Jew?🤔 Anyways.. loved my time in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem 😀 met some wonderful people and great food ✌🏻 Have a good one
If it's any consolation I have dual UK and Israeli citizenship, and I've also had some weird interactions with airport security when travelling alone. Hope it didn't destroy your visit. Incidentally my best friend in UK was Pakistani. Sadly died of cancer last year.
Trust me Paul it would pale in comparison to what I experience when travelling to Israel, my visits are normally 5 days and at least 12 hours are spent at the airport. same repetitive questions, worse on the way out especially when they have to take every individual item out to scan it and test it. then off to the body scanner, and after that no exit slip comes out the machine so I have to see numerous people who question me again at every stop, until I’m given my exit slip .
If you understand what Israel has to contend with, you'd understand. They don't stop someone without a good reason. There are people trying to cause harm to Israel and its civilians. The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens. Going to Syria, which is a war zone just doesn't add up. Same for some of the other very dangerous countries. No one in their right mind goes to these places.
Sorry to hear you had to go through this unpleasant experience - let me try to explain why you were hit with the questions you received: Israel has a long line of enemies who are openly calling for its destruction and are going to great lengths to do so. Because of this danger, Israel has become incredibly good at sniffing out people that are a potential danger. As a young man traveling alone without a return ticket, no apparent contact person in the country and a history of visiting basically every enemy country (of Israel) you are a prime target for questioning. Israeli border and airport security follows a differenct concept than that of most, if not all, other countries. When looking for the danger, we're not searching for the weapon, we're looking for the terrorist. During the questioning, they are looking for any discrepancy in your story. For any sign that you might not be telling the truth or that you might have a different motive than traveling. You would be surprised by the number of Europeans and Americans that come to Israel to travel to the West Bank to "help" the Palestinians, but in reality just want to take part in riots agains the Israeli military and then go back home and feel like they are freedom fighters and did something to further the Palestinian cause. I'm happy to hear that you were let in at the end and had a great time. Israel is an incredible country with some of the warmest and nicest people in the world (also some of the worst, like anywhere) and a week is definitely enough to see even a fraction of it. We are multicultural, multireligious, multiethnic country with its fairs share of problems, but when you manage to see past what you hear in the news it is an incredible place and there are plenty of places where Jews and Arabs coexist as neighbors and friends. Hope you can come back sometime soon and explore more
I am sorry for your experience, be mindful that your biggest mistake is not having a return ticket. Some countries will make you prove that you have one, or they will send you back where you came from without questions.
I'm a British Jew and have been through Israeli security many times. I've got to say that I've often noticed how certain types of people are targeted for more questions than others. People travelling alone definitely stands out, having stamps (and videos) from Muslim countries will also make them nervous (because they don't know who you might have met in these countries that may wish harm on Israelis/Jews), and to me the biggest one of all (which no-one seems to have mentioned yet in your comments) is that you didnt have a return ticket. I think security in any country, not just Israel, would look at that and be rather concerned, as that doesn't fit the bill of a regular traveller. You seem to have taken your experience calmly and maturely so well done to you

Israelis don't hate the pakistanis..
Why should Israelis care? We are not their enemies. Even if we're not their friends.
Israeli here, these questions sound standard to me, especially for unusual travellers. Even as an Israeli citizen, when I was living overseas I'd get questioned and even detained (especially when I mentioned staying with an Iranian family on one of my trips). The questions they ask everyone include why you're coming, how long you plan to stay, did someone give you something etc. If you have been to an "enemy" country or certain areas considered a potential security risk, you'll get more questions. Also probably if you present as Muslim (although not necessarily). I think the main reason they detained you for longer is because you didn't have a return flight and you'd recently been in several "suspicious" countries. In any case, there's nothing to fear and while it may be uncomfortable, if you're coming legally and don't have anything to hide, just be honest and patient and all will be fine. There's no reason for visitors with Pakistani heritage etc to fear.

@Goat Mapper There has never been a state called Palestine, Palestine was the name of a region! When the Romans conquered Israel and expelled most of the Jews, they decided to change the name of Israel to Palestine to destroy any connection to Judaism and changed the name of Jerusalem for a time to Cathelina. They named Israel Palestine in honor of the Philistines, who were from Europe and came to try to conquer Israel and lost. That happened 600 years before the religion of Islam was born. The name Palestine has always been a name identified with the Jewish people. You can see old maps, coins, place names registered in Palestine and nearby registered in Hebrew Eretz Israel. Israel is mentioned in Roman writings, ancient Greek books, ancient English literature, and more. Always in his name like Israel and Palestine. Today's Palestinians are descendants of 7th century Muslim conquerors combined with descendants of immigrants from Arab countries who arrived during Ottoman rule. The Arab population in the area adopted the Palestinian identity in 1964! And the State of Palestine was officially declared a state in 1988! They are the conquerors not Jewish. Jewish people are indigenous to this land, Israel is Jewish homeland
You stood your ground they probably appreciated that more.

If you think that's bad, try going back to any of those countries with an Israeli stamp on your passport. The authorities in those countries won't be as nice.
They werent mad at you for going to their enemies, they suspected you were sent to israel for some reason.
btw, israel doesnt stamp your passport when you enter so you can go to lebanon or any other "enemy" country without getting in trouble so yea you're welcome.

@mars mars There has never been a state called Palestine, Palestine was the name of a region! When the Romans conquered Israel and expelled most of the Jews, they decided to change the name of Israel to Palestine to destroy any connection to Judaism and changed the name of Jerusalem for a time to Cathelina. They named Israel Palestine in honor of the Philistines, who were from Europe and came to try to conquer Israel and lost. That happened 600 years before the religion of Islam was born. The name Palestine has always been a name identified with the Jewish people. You can see old maps, coins, place names registered in Palestine and nearby registered in Hebrew Eretz Israel. Israel is mentioned in Roman writings, ancient Greek books, ancient English literature, and more. Always in his name like Israel and Palestine. Today's Palestinians are descendants of 7th century Muslim conquerors combined with descendants of immigrants from Arab countries who arrived during Ottoman rule. The Arab population in the area adopted the Palestinian identity in 1964! And the State of Palestine was officially declared a state in 1988! They are the conquerors not Jewish. Jewish people are indigenous to this land, Israel is Jewish homeland
@mars mars There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, Palestinian culture, or Palestinian language, or Palestinian history. There has never been a Palestinian state, nor any Palestinian state. Not a Palestinian archeological find nor a coin.
Today's "Palestinians" are Arab people, with Arab culture, an Arabic language, and Arab history. They have their own Arab states from where they came to Israel about a century ago (Egypt, Lebanon, etc).
This fact is revealed if you study the family names of about 80% of the "Palestinians" you will be able to see that they are actually not natives to the land - A huge families go by the name "El-Masry" (The Egyptians) and "El-Soraney" (From Tyre in Lebanon) others from Saudia-Arabia and so on.
This is the historical truth.
Callum, I’m rooting for you in your future endeavours. Living in London my whole life, I’ve slowly come across more and more Irish and Scottish people, especially in the past four years. And due to my experiences with the few I know, I see lots of common grounds and genuineness. To the point, two of my closest friends are now from those regions. I’m thankful in many ways as I grew up with a predominantly South Asian and black community but now my horizons are slightly broader. I would love to be able to travel and experience the world like you. But I’m hitched with two kids and a mortgage to pay 😂

pretty common experience for people that don't have an Israeli passport. had cousins come over from Russia, they were interigated for hours. really sucks that it is that way.
Hi Callum.thanks for sharing. Had the same experience with my sisters.we are Muslim. We went to Jordan in 2019 and wanted to do a day visit to Palestine to visit Al Aqsa Mosque. They took our passports and kept us waiting for about 5 hours! In the end we were questioned briefly and then were let in.we didn't have much time so we quickly visited Al Aqsa then returned to Jordan.
We were also held on the border for 5 hours in 2019: it is their spread of hatred and genocide that makes them paranoid

I used to get questioned at the airport as an English woman. When I was asked where I'd been staying and I answered honestly - in an Arab village in an Arab household, that was it! Why hadn't my fiance come to the airport with me? He has! He's there! So he got questioned too. Luggage tipped out, stuffed back in. Taken away, told by female to strip down to my underwear, metal detector passed up and down my body. One time my calculator wasnt working - it was rubbish - told me to show them how it worked - it wouldn't! Taken away to look at it. To be fair I learnt after calculators could be used as detonator.
I was eventually let go to get my flight. I didn't mind that much, I understood why they were doing it but some are better than others. Another time, totally different approach. I still remember him today.
Proud of you Callum well done
Respect fr u u r really brave . Thanks to being a honest showing the reality of every county
That many people who enter israel try murdering israelis..?
Hi, as in Israeli I appreciate your honesty and fairness telling your story.
Unfortunately, those kind of interviews are basically forced upon Israeli security since there are a lot of threats coming from those parts of the world.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your time and hopefully you’ll come back again!
Thanks for taking time to watch the videos and leave a nice comment. I have zero ill feelings regarding being stopped and questions. I believe it’s important to stop any potential threats. I think some people think I’m upset, I’m simply just documenting my experience. Met some amazing people from different communities ✌🏻 Have a great day 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@Danny Al It's not israel that said they want to do a holocuast , it's not israel that said they want to nuke Iran and it's not Israel that said that hitler is the role model of the country. The previous leader of Egypt Anwar saddat that said hitler is his role model, it's palestine's current leader that said he's proud to be the person that killed the most jews since hitler and it's Iran's regime that said they started the nuclear program to nuke Israel.
Poor excuse for what is unfair detention of an innocent person who is clearly a travel vlogger.
@@salemtully7055 You'd be surprised how many people that look innocent did horrific things when they travelled to Israel, what they saw is that his passport was in several enemy countries so they made sure he's not doing something bad in Israel. Yes you can be cheesy and say "tHey Are YouR EnEmiEs NoT MinE" that's kind of the point of the interview, these country's leaders say they should do a second holocuast, so you'll get interviewed in case you wanna do an attack
@@salemtully7055 the facts speak for them my friend. Have a great week.
Great video pal ! Really interesting to hear about your experiences .
They’re you’re enemies, and not mine 😂 that was brave
1st hand experience of who the real enemy of the free people is... well done for standing upto it.
Well done mate. It’s tight doing these countries. But keep up the great work!
Cheers mate! Very much appreciated as always! It doesn’t go unnoticed ✌🏻
Very brave of you, I was stopped and interviewed when I went to Amsterdam it was very uncomfortable
Callum I understand where you are coming from in this video.
I was stopped for 17 hours when I went to Israel in February 2018.
Mind you, my questions were more intense - background, passport, my phone was taken to be searched, body searched, blood sample plus mouth swab.
All in all, a fantastic experience for me 💯
I am Israeli. I live in Israel. As long as you're honest about your travels, you're not going to have an issue. If you're still here, let me know how I can help.
PS: Always have a return flight.
A bloke that’s gone to Syria and has no return flight is a massive red flag travelling anywhere, the mishmar hagvul was entirely correct to be afraid.
My wife is romanian , christian, she has been only in EU countries all her life, she HAD a return flight, but still we had the same process and even worse.
Guess what, im her muslim husband :)
@@gendermapper5995 I don’t disagree with you on that. I also think he needs to be clear that he wasn’t “detained”, but put for questioning for obvious reasons. Anyone that doesn’t know that this will cause issues obviously hasn’t researched their destination.
@@wpkrock95 I do not think that this should be representative on all Israelis, though. You seem to forget or not know about the Hindawi Affair. If you understood or knew about this, you might have more sympathy as to why they take things like this seriously. Should it be taken as every Muslim is bad? Of Course Not. However, whenever there’s security or regulations in Israel, there’s obviously a reason for it.
Definition of Detained - keeping someone or holding them back or making claims on their attention.
So unfortunately you are incorrect on this
Thanks for checking out the video tho, it’s genuinely appreciated ✌🏻 all the best
Good vlog. I'm a Brit (Atheist) who lives in Malaysia. Sadly of course this goes both ways, when you try to enter certain Muslim countries with an Israeli stamp you will also get questioned. All we can do is continue to ignore the politics and religious extremist groups and enjoy the world and the (mostly) wonderful, friendly people in it.
Beautifully said
But do they give a stamp on your passport?
Israel hasn't stamped passports in decades

Hey Callum , I’m not surprised by your experience.I understand your perception of a strange line of questioning , however, I know their security have experienced scenarios which would prompt them to be suspicious of your travels.Also I am interested in your demeanour while being questioned.That is what they focus on , where you so calm and collected at that time as any nervousness would alert them.I have a cousin who is a bit highly strung , they removed her from an El Al flight under suspicion and she is Jewish.
it’s your calm persona that carry’s you Callum

I'm born in the uk, parents Pakistani. I went via Jordon to Palestine to visit aqsa. I was held for ,5 hours on the coach, and the female soldier followed me in and out the toilet. Evil people oppression against Palestinians. You can see the fear in their eyes. I wore western clothes and was stopped twice and passport checked. Muslims also have a separate queue at border crossing
You are evil, they should have denied your entry.
@Yusuf Talib Likewise my brother, Ameen ya rabb
Mate thanks for sharing ! I was thinking of traveling through Tel aviv to Jerusalem, but your experience now make me doubt !
Many enemies of israel completely deny people who were in israel to enter their countries, Israel had many terrorist attacks so it brings sense they interogatted them if he was in many hostile countries
So basically they questioned you because you had traveled to countries that have direct and public hostilities with Israel. Then they let you in because they deemed you weren't a threat. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Israeli person here. While I might not agree with my countries leadership and such, at the end of the day we are bordered by 'enemies' at all sides, so we must make sure that nobody with malicious intentions enters the country. I do think they are a bit harsh regarding such topics, as at the end of the day people just wanna see the world and tour many places, regardless if those places are enemies with one-another. I'm Israeli, and I really wanna visit Egypt to see the great pyramids and the ancient ruins there, but because of where I live, I cannot go there, which I think is very unfair. Governments and security should judge people not by the places they went to or by their place of origin, but by their intentions and motives for visiting.

With all the political problems in Pakistan right now with Imran Khan not favoured as a leader by the West and Israel our nation is on the watch list for sure
They are just paranoid, asking so many questions... interrogating you. But you answered all questions brilliantly. Not everyone is a terrorist
One teacher used to say, that the only time he will visit our third holy site is liberating it. Anything less is humiliating. Imagine how they treat us Muslims when we visit
There are tones of Muslim tourists visiting Israel. a young man who visited countries that are not exactly tourist destinations but are hotbeds for Islamic terrorism, and did that even more than once, surely raises suspicion.
And where is your third Holy site? Because there is nothing Holy to Islam in Israel.
The al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem was not named or built until 70 years after Quathem's death. There was no Muslims in Israel until Umar. And there was a garbage dump on the temple mount he cleared in order to build a small mosque. The real al Aqsa mosque that Muhammed had prayed at is in J'irrana, Saudi Arabia.

This parallels my experience in Israel. By the way, I'm an American who's half scotch and Hungarian, and I've never been to a Moslem country. Please let us know (if you can) if misadventures magically befall you in the UK or elsewhere. This inludes landlords wanting $10,000 US every month for apartments where the toilets and sinks back up. This is after telling one the rent is $1050 per month. Of course the landlord will conveniently neglect to send one a contract.
This is why I like watching Callum’s videos, he’s a genuine guy making videos of his travels. Just imagine if you had brown skin and a beard you still would have been there 😂😂
Keep up the good work
You're comment is pretty racist since most Israeli people do have brown skin and a beard.. Let me remind you that many Jews migrated from Morroco, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria and Egypt to Israel.
There's an Israeli actor called Tsahi Halevi who was voted as "most handsome man" a few years back (and he's married to an Israeli Arab woman)
Lol, so racist. I live in Jerusalem and I see nothing but brown Jews with beards.
@@HackingWithPanda I’m sure he meant if the person was Muslim. And let me remind you that the mizahri and Sephardic Jews themselves are discriminated in their “own country”. don’t forget about the Ethiopian Jews that were sterilised by the Israeli state with forced injections.

This is our security protocol. If you don’t like it, don’t come here. Respect our security needs. Respect our people. Respect our country.
In Israel, security is the most important thing. We don’t care who you are, or where you come from. If there’s alarm bells around you, you WILL be checked.
We endure terrorist attacks every single day, and we take every single precaution to prevent them.
And yes, asking if you are a Muslim IS a valid question. 99% of the terrorist attacks here are executed by Muslims.
Hi Callum, fellow Glaswegian here. I follow you on TicTok. I've been living in Tunisia for nearly 3 years. You weren't asked strange questions by the Israeli guards, it's VERY strange for you and anyone who wants to travel to these countries. Even though we are free to do so and our intentions are pure. But they don't see it that way. You have to just roll with it. Stay safe happy travels
" our intentions are pure" ! So if your intentions were to help the Palestinians or shed a light on thier suffering or showing solidarity with them then these intentions would not be pure? My intentions are pure ,I am here for sightseeing ,I will just overlook the ongoing persecution, who cares anyway ,all is good, don't worry.
Human beings never fail to disappoint.
'Are you Muslim?'
'Do you intend becoming Muslim?'
'Why did you visit so many mosques?'
'Why do you visit the enemies of Israel?'
Are these not STRANGE questions?

@@CallumAbroad I have travelled to Israel without problems and most people who do, get a general profiling to make sure people are not entering the country with some hostile intent that can cause genuine security problems. Many Muslims will have no problems entering the country and usually those who openly enter as Muslims will be allowed through if they have an address like a hotel or invitation to be there eg. on business or seeing friends and relatives.I know an Iraqi born friend who was Christian with his Iranian born wife who went to visit. They had questions , but were with an organised group and had no problems after being questioned . And so it is horses for courses and I'm glad you emphasised that you were treated with respect and cleared security to enjoy the country. Interesting and honest of you.
Thanks for taking time to watch the video and leave a reply. It’s genuinely appreciated ✌🏻
@@katehe1en224 Before the Babylonian Empire there was the Assyrian Empire who Ruled Supreme over all the Land from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea......... Israel and Judah had neither polity, hegemony or any type of sovereignty as tribute paying vassals [ vassal : A state totally dominated by a Superior state.. A holder of land by feudal tenure on condition of Homage and Allegiance]
The Israelites paid huge tribute of Gold and Silver to their Masters and Overlords the Mighty Assyrians, and when the Israelites got greedy and withheld their tribute /rent the Mighty Assyrians kicked them off THEIR Land.
When you don't pay your rent to your Landlord........ You get evicted.
I hope you enjoy everything in Israel!! You have to understand the situation we are in Israel with all the enemies in the Middle East and especially in Afghanistan. Both Muslims and Christians live in Israel, so that's not the problem.
Wish you wellness and safety - from Palestine 🇵🇸
Btw, look at the number on the sticker on your passport. It indicates the level of security threat you supposedly represent. 1 is lowest, 6 is the highest. I am guessing you were a solid 6, no doubt.
I will check this now
@@CallumAbroad What number we’re you?
when palestine was establish? who was its first ruler? when was jerusalem the capital of palestain or any other country?
th-cam.com/video/xYEzXyy8PWs/w-d-xo.html
What sticker where ???
@@MrColey786 on your passport, once you check in, officials add a sticker either with the individual number (1-6) or something like a barcode (the rate would be the last digit)
I understand what you're feeling a friend from France also got questioned for quite some time regarding his visit but you need to understand that it's tense here and Muslims are sometimes using Europeans to disturb the country to say the least, it's just for security reasons I wish we wouldn't have to do that but sadly we have to
Yea I know of people who delete their apps from their phone before travelling there.
Yes I’ve heard of that a lot. And this is a country the world supports without question
@@hmmmmm2634 lol I wonder why.
Hi my name is Idan and I am in Israel citizen I am very sorry for what they have done to you in the airport . The situation is very very complicated in terms of Homeland security .If you want we can talk and I will explain you What was the incentive of asking all these questions. Next time you visit Israel you can say you know me if you want
🆓 🇵🇸
Also from Glasgow, had same happen to me in Boston, usa - 4 hours asking about ethnicticity, had I been to x country, had family been. I started becoming cheeky in that Scottish way, told the officer Murphy isn’t a American surname what’s your family history. His boss had to step in and I was freed
It’s pretty obvious why they questioned you. The line for questioning is as normal as it gets.
You are a great person . A rare gem who is honest
This is what I was waiting for. You'll notice they'll have a completely different tone in the comments section but the reality is that they don't allow people free, who can potentially expose their true nature so instead they interrogate anyone and everyone coming in and out, and its 1000x worse for Palestinians. Journalists get similar treatment so it's still very limited and restrictive for anyone who wants to show transparency. Every youtuber I've come across so far has had a similar experience but the only time you'll feel completely humiliated and degraded was if you were a Muslim. Have a look at what happened to Jay Palfrey 😳 👀
@@w0lov sorry but these videos are evidence enough.
If the Palestinians weren't busy committing heinous terror attacks against Israeli civilians for more than 100 years, I assure you the security scrutiny in Ben Gurion airport would have been very different.
@@abcxyz8787 I mean Israel isn't even 100 years old so. That's a clear cut lie.. 🤣🤣🤣
@@paksallion It's very true that Israel isn't even 100 years. I didn't want to add the Jews in this land so not to complicate things. But since you're informed I would rewrite my comment - If the Palestinians weren't busy committing heinous terror attacks against Israeli civilians and Jews before 1948 for more than 100 years, I assure you the security scrutiny in Ben Gurion airport would have been very different. If you think that the Arabs in the holy land started murdering Jews only after there was Israel and these Jews were called Israelis then you're dead wrong.
@@abcxyz8787 obviously youre wrong, if you dont understand how long a countries existed then youve fell at the first hurdle and lost all credibility sorry. You show me heinous crimes commited against Jews in Palestine prior to 1948? I'll wait.. remember heinous means it's odious and extremely wicked against that demographic.
Great video mate. Very very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this vlog, Callum, I'll send it to my Muslim friends so they are forewarned if they wish to visit Israel. I think it will put them off though.
I visited Israel about 8 years ago and upon arrival at Tel Aviv airport I was just asked if I knew anyone there, which places I was visiting and why. My sticker that they gave me started with number 1. The only Muslim country that I'd previously visited was UAE.
TH-camr Jay Palfrey, a recent convert to Islam made a vlog detailing how he was slapped about a bit during his interrogation at Tel Aviv Airport.
Congrats on reaching 10k.
Thank you Terry! I can’t believe I’ve hit 10k. Mind blowing. Well I certainly wasn’t slapped about 😅
@@CallumAbroad dude Israel does this for everyone I am a Israeli citizen and they would do the same to me because it’s for a security measure has nothing to do with apartheid or with Arabs it’s has a lot to do with the second intifada but i hope you enjoy your stay after u should go to Haifa it’s beautiful there
Dam that's deep bro. I hope it doesn't affect you long term. Great response your a legend
Why should it affect him? He needs to understand Israel has to protect itself from its enemies.
@@annablack3126 well looks like you never been in a situation where your a black man stopped by police man and make you feel like a suspect while your just a innocent guy
Hi Callum! I don't know from which country you belong but you are a very genuine person.i love the way you praise Muslims, my country and Pakistanis🥰 keep spreading love.may Allah always protect you from such evil people...
They're just doing their job, nothing evil about it. If they didn't then the real evil people would be doing a lot of rather avoidable disasters in Israel
if you wasn't so obsessed with your weird religion, there would be less hate and conflicts in this world!
Much love from a Palestinian brother it’s much bigger then just “enemies” they oppressed my people and lands and so they are always on edge since they know they are in the wrong
It’s has nothing do with apartheid or Arabs I’m a Israeli citizen and they would do the same To me it’s manly because of the second intifada with the suicide attack back in the early 2000s has nothing to do with being in the Wrong
If your people haven't been murdering Israeli civilians on a regular basis., there wouldn't be strict security at Israel's airports. In away, you can blame your people for that.
@@Jake-tw8pd no they don’t
@@_mo_aj_ yes they do if you go to Ben gurion airport they will always do this especially if you are a tourist they do this to even Americans especially if u visit other countries that don’t diplomatically recognize Israel I mean if u actually been there or are from the land you would know this
@@Jake-tw8pd lol 😂 you don’t know who u r talking too I am from Palestine you idiot
Hi Callum, Israelis are very direct with the way they ask questions in general so it’s nothing out of the ordinary given all the countries you’ve been to. The truth is the main threats to Israel come from Muslim extremists, and sometimes they use westerners to try and evade suspicion. For example an Irish girl back in the day went to Syria and met an intelligence officer there who gave her a “gift” to take on a flight to Israel, which turned out to be a bomb. That’s why they wanted to know who you had met and if you were thinking of converting to Islam. Hope you had a great trip otherwise, cheers
lol....No....they r the new era nazis and scared af thats y they do it...dont justifye israhelli oppressors....
there is a difference between being direct and arrogant behaviour of selfishness and suppority and put others down. In honesty isreal real enemies is itself .
Muslim person here I went here on 19th December and yes you are correct we had to wait 6 hours for the interview and so on eventough our group was only group there as was during graveyard hours. They check all your social media, ask many questions, interrogate you as much as they can but eventually give you your visa.
How do they check your social media?
As an Israeli I can tell you that you are just complaining!!! You speak from the eyes of a foreigner who suffers from zero security problems. Israel is surrounded by enemies and must be protected from them. I would like to present a certificate of excellence to the security personnel at the airport.
How is this called complaining, you just don't want your country to look bad lol
I can relate to that ..
we were made to exit our vehicles before we even reached the terminal for our flights back home and were made to wait in a room … for hours, with cameras of course .. whole idea was to make us agitated so that we do something silly out of frustration !
My husband specifically told me to keep my face straight 😀
Oh and yes they went through our luggage without us being informed
Salam calum I can see that the seed of Islam has been implanted in your heart, I have no doubt you will embrace ISLAM the truest and most beautiful religion
Israel is surrounded by Muslim countries that don’t recognise it as a sovereign state. I’m not getting into the political situation, but given that I could totally understand their line of questioning given your travel history and not having a return ticket.
Damn, they know how to pick the right people from the crowd. Solid security protocol.
You go to all their enemies countries... what did you expect?
Mate stop being an idiot
I expected to be questioned. I didn’t expect them to say it’s weird that I visit mosques as a non Muslim… is it weird that I went to the great synagogue as a non Jew?🤔
Anyways.. loved my time in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem 😀 met some wonderful people and great food ✌🏻 Have a good one
Separation only bring fear. People should not be afraid of each other.
If it's any consolation I have dual UK and Israeli citizenship, and I've also had some weird interactions with airport security when travelling alone. Hope it didn't destroy your visit.
Incidentally my best friend in UK was Pakistani. Sadly died of cancer last year.
Stop lying you deceiver.
Trust me Paul it would pale in comparison to what I experience when travelling to Israel, my visits are normally 5 days and at least 12 hours are spent at the airport. same repetitive questions, worse on the way out especially when they have to take every individual item out to scan it and test it. then off to the body scanner, and after that no exit slip comes out the machine so I have to see numerous people who question me again at every stop, until I’m given my exit slip .
If you understand what Israel has to contend with, you'd understand. They don't stop someone without a good reason. There are people trying to cause harm to Israel and its civilians. The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens. Going to Syria, which is a war zone just doesn't add up. Same for some of the other very dangerous countries. No one in their right mind goes to these places.
So sorry you had to go through this. Love your content bro👌. Hope your relationship with Islam and Muslims strengthens further👍
so they had a problem with you not having a return flight? I plan to go there without return flight too
Sorry to hear you had to go through this unpleasant experience - let me try to explain why you were hit with the questions you received:
Israel has a long line of enemies who are openly calling for its destruction and are going to great lengths to do so. Because of this danger, Israel has become incredibly good at sniffing out people that are a potential danger. As a young man traveling alone without a return ticket, no apparent contact person in the country and a history of visiting basically every enemy country (of Israel) you are a prime target for questioning. Israeli border and airport security follows a differenct concept than that of most, if not all, other countries. When looking for the danger, we're not searching for the weapon, we're looking for the terrorist. During the questioning, they are looking for any discrepancy in your story. For any sign that you might not be telling the truth or that you might have a different motive than traveling. You would be surprised by the number of Europeans and Americans that come to Israel to travel to the West Bank to "help" the Palestinians, but in reality just want to take part in riots agains the Israeli military and then go back home and feel like they are freedom fighters and did something to further the Palestinian cause.
I'm happy to hear that you were let in at the end and had a great time. Israel is an incredible country with some of the warmest and nicest people in the world (also some of the worst, like anywhere) and a week is definitely enough to see even a fraction of it. We are multicultural, multireligious, multiethnic country with its fairs share of problems, but when you manage to see past what you hear in the news it is an incredible place and there are plenty of places where Jews and Arabs coexist as neighbors and friends.
Hope you can come back sometime soon and explore more
you are out off your mind
No you
I am sorry for your experience, be mindful that your biggest mistake is not having a return ticket. Some countries will make you prove that you have one, or they will send you back where you came from without questions.
I'm a British Jew and have been through Israeli security many times. I've got to say that I've often noticed how certain types of people are targeted for more questions than others. People travelling alone definitely stands out, having stamps (and videos) from Muslim countries will also make them nervous (because they don't know who you might have met in these countries that may wish harm on Israelis/Jews), and to me the biggest one of all (which no-one seems to have mentioned yet in your comments) is that you didnt have a return ticket. I think security in any country, not just Israel, would look at that and be rather concerned, as that doesn't fit the bill of a regular traveller. You seem to have taken your experience calmly and maturely so well done to you
Traveling alone shouldn't be a red flag, but it is for some reason
