Since early October, Israel has been at war with Gaza, which has captured the world's attention and brought attention to the Palestinians' struggle. But Gaza is only one part of the story. The West Bank, a place full of famous Biblical cities like Bethlehem, Hebron and Jericho, is the other half of Palestine. And ever since the conflict reignited into this latest war, things have become more difficult than ever for the people there.
I was told I shouldn't go there. It could be dangerous at the checkpoints, which are now everywhere in the West Bank. But I had to see for myself what was going on. And to do that, I went to the holiest and also most controversial city in the world -- Jerusalem, to begin a journey across Palestine.

Thank you for typing Palestine instead of the Palestinian Territories that they type I’m Palestinian and I am really loss for words I can’t describe how my people are being massacred and genocide for over the last 75 years thank you so much for this video and please ignore the pro Israeli this video shows inside the occupation praying freedom of Palestine 🇵🇸
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre site has been recognized since early in the 4th century as the place where Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose from the dead.
What Currency do they use in the West Bank and Gaza? Btw this video opened my eyes about how Palestinians people are. I didn't know there are good number of Christians there. The Western Media are liars. Ahsante Sana.
@@jenBaker707...but he was a very naughty boy.
Because of ppl like Tommy.. the truth comes! Thank you for sharing Tom and thank you for sheltering him ... Much love and peace for you
Walking around epic historical sites by yourself without the big crowds has to be a one of a kind experience.
I traveled during COVID! It was spectacular 🎉🎉🎉
I was in London during the 2021 lockdown and standing at the Tower of London with absolutely no one around was surreal. It really felt like the opening scenes of 28 Days Later in the City of London area. Towering skyscrapers with no one around and ghost buses stopping to let no one off.
I randomly stumbled into where Jesus had the last supper and was walking around the roof of the Church of The Holy Sepulcher without knowing what it was lol. These places in Israel can be shockingly peaceful and also full of life. Just depends when you're there. What's also cool is the density of sites like these, literally everywhere has had people living there for thousands of years.
I agree must be an amazing feeling
...right, as a war rages on not so far away in case you havent heard
The shop keeper has a wonderful sense of humor. His mother is Roman Catholic and his father is Palestinian Muslim- he says "I guess that makes me Jewish, idk." I got good vibes from him.
Noticeable American accent too. He probably has studied abroad
You are Woke lunitec just all, it wasnt even funny
@@ori1676womp womp
@@tusk4339 Sorry I dont speak Wokish
@@ori1676Aww c'mon man. Buddy was lols at himself & at his situation. If we even lose our sense of humor, what do have left. Dont let this 'woke' crap eat you up so go live & be happy. Most of all learn to respect other ppls views & opinions even if we disagree
11:12 when the man is imploring you to pray for peace and for innocents to stop dying either side. You can hear in his voice how heartbroken he is and that really got me.
I know. My heart ached and I felt in my heart how I would have expressed a most sincere sentiment with him. He was pleading for a voice to hear. Idk if I could've moved on that fast.
I also would've expressed a deep appreciation for the food and room offered by hotel owner. I just think that's an intimate thing, to invite a stranger for dinner. Then again, what do I know about the culture? It might've been inappropriate to express my gratitude to the host for all I know, lol. But it would've been my reaction, good or bad. 🤭
@@treesab yeah I mean he has to be careful with what he does and what he posts but I agree with you.
came here to say this. it's just so heartbreaking.
praying for the innocent always
The true sons of Jacob are the Palestinians, whatever their religion. Whoever wants to refer to the heavenly books will see that. The Samaritans live, and they are the oldest sect in the world. They lived in Palestine when they fled from Pharaoh.
Eastern European threat, they took over the Jewish religion in the 8th century. This does not give you the right to seize someone's land
The gentleman at 11:15 touched a nerve and was a little goose-bump moment as he asked that you pray for peace and the way he said, 'everybody we are so much in need of peace', for all sides and the innocents. It was a global plea. I volunteer in Ukraine and have done for two years and the things you see are horrific and now Gazza, we have so much senseless killing going on and the world on the precipice of another global conflict with so many knife edge hot spots. That was a nice moment in the video, so I will join with him and pray for an end to all this conflict and the loss of innocent lives.
Yeah, really we need to have a war on violent Islam. It’s the most destabilizing force in the whole world. It’s nazism 2.0
That hotel owner was a real g for letting you stay.
"My moms Roman Catholic and my dad is Palestinian Muslim, so I guess that makes me Jewish, I dunno" - That was a line that had me in stitches 😅
Bro ur cant be a palstain and muslim palestain was a land who controled by greace in the 12 cuntery and thay hate muslims
Follow your dad
@@ulugbekvlogs6991 what
Nah follow your mom.
Or better yet, follow your heart
I was watching this on my head on
my phone and I had to stop after 15 minutes. I thought this is just a fantastic vlog that’s well put together. It’s got history, geography, current affairs and humanity etc without political agendas. So I have subscribed and liked and will watch on my big screen to give it full justice. Respect and appreciation.
As a young man figuring out where I fit in the world, how to understand the present and the past, and how I can be a part of something larger than myself, these videos really inspire me to educate myself and seek knowledge authentically.
The media is so overwhelming and biased. TH-camrs like Sabbatical and NickIndigo have shaped the way I view the world in many ways.
Thank you for the unbiased work you do. Peace and prosperity to all innocent people around the globe.
You may be interested in reading the Bible, all the Best for you.
@@user-gk6rf8ls1dI have read it…. I prefer to form my own perspective… it has some good stuff though. Thank you, be well
Absolutely go and see things for yourself. In other countries and in different areas inside your own country. Don't let journalists define the world for you, go experience it yourself. You will change your opinions on many things and that is good!
Of course it takes a lot of time to really understand the historical contexts. One side and the other will omit history from one point to the other. For example, one thing I notice here is that Palestinians always talk of Jews coming from Europe after WWII. They never mention Jews living there before that but it is a fact that Jews were a majority living in Jerusalem during Ottoman rule and that was documented through an Ottoman census done on the region. Jews and Arabs have lived there for hundreds of years and some Jews never left and have been there since Roman times, Arab conquests, The Crusades, etc. History is more complex than to say it all started in 1948. Perhaps many Palestinians today are descendants of Jews forced into Islam as well. There are god people on both sides. And there are evil people. One more on one side than the other is my opinion. You work hard to figure that out on your own. Good luck.
@@TRYCLOPS1 with respect, the sephardic jews only made up about 5% of the population under Ottoman rule, didnt they ? It was 90% Arab, 5% Jewish, and other communities
Don’t sell yourself short man. You may be the most unbiased journalist I’ve seen in a very long time.

HE'S NOT A JOURNALIST! he is a youtuber!
I just enjoy his travels and openness. I can vicariously travel with him.
@@donaldobrien9171 Yeah thats true as journalists are not honest
This is not journalism. Please learn proper terms.
The exchange around 39:00 minutes when the man lets you stay in the hotel which is closed, very touching. Even in wartimes you can still see humans as we all are, just people hoping to live in peace. He opened his doors and fed you after seeing you had no allegiance to any enemies. Those of us who understand this (that people deserve to be fed, housed, and educated) should be ruling the world.
I agree
Yeah very nice man. But it's not that simple to just feed the world like you say. It's too many factors involved.
further proof it's one racist hole where you can't even get a hotel room if you're from a western country, Palestinians stuck in medieval times, 100 years behind normal, civilised humans
Yes they should, but they never will. Because the only people who have the drive to get into power want all of the power and money for themselves.
Itulah jiwa sosial Orang Palestina sperti mereka lakukan pada tahun 1933 ketika Orang Yahudi German Kabur dari Germany Ketika Nazi Ingin Membunuh Keluarga Mereka ,,Orang Paletina Yang Menerima Mereka dengan Tulus Hati dengan Memberi Mereka makan dan Tempat tinggal Layaknya keluarga sendiri, tetapi Apa daya Setelah Mereka Sudah Banyak di Palestina Dan ingin miliki semua Seluruh tanah palestina bahkan orang palestina Mereka usir,, itulah di istilahkan Yahudi German dan Amerika Adalah Zionisme
I been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and you just earned so much respect from me. Loved this!
I wouldn't say the "atmosphere is very excessive," being that there are constant terror attacks not only in that area but across all of Israel and Palestine. They're simply being cautious.
And yet it took the IDF over eight hours to respond on Oct. 7th. 🤔
@@danbarron8072i dont think anybody doesnt believe that the IDF is abusing oct 7

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

Brilliant documentary, thank you for your bravery! This is the best personal insight I have seen into the war.
The Western Wall is not a remaining of the Jewish Temple - it’s a wall which surrounded the actual Temple, where the mosque is right now.
So, the Western Wall is the closest a Jew can get to his most holy place. In comparison, Muslims have their Mekka and no one is holding them back from visiting it.
except all the times where israeli forces invade and unlawfully enter what is not theirs. which happens often..
I was super excited to see this after your previous video. Really great job I think you've shown, whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Israeli, or Palestinian, people are just trying to survive in an insane world. People will blame whomever they want to blame, but I think everyone just want to be able to go home.
The Palestinians proved they are above all that murdering for profit nonsense.
Here here
Israeli here, the average Israeli has no problem with Palestinians who want to live peacefully.
But most Palestinians don't recognize us legitimate
Home where. They think that they are indigenous of the land. That's their problem and this will never happen. They need to get over it.

Great channel. I love the way you travel, with a sense of curiosity and an open mind. I have done it in the past and found that people were incredibly generous everywhere. I had a few mis-adventures with my planning and people always took me in and treated me as part of the family. In some place, I know it was because I was an American. In other places, it was in spite of being American. I always knew a bit of the local language to show respect, and I always tried to learn as much as possible. In a few cases I have witnessed the person who treated me so well turn around and be abusive toward a family member or someone else (directly or indirectly). It really makes you think about the masks people wear and appreciate those rare individuals who treat everyone as they want to be treated. Imagine a world where we treated everyone we encounter with the generosity with which we treat people we view as guests.
Stay safe ... thank you for your brave reporting! Your humanity is what is important
Humanizing just one side in this video.
- Sabbatical made it seem like Hamas atrocities of Oct 7th was justified by voicing Hamas' bogus reason for the attack at 8:52
- Palestinians gave their deluded version of history and events without an Israeli response.
- He highlights how hard it is to get between Palestinian cities without explaining that it is a time of war and attacks on Israelis are happening, and that checkpoints on those roads were put into place to stop Palestinian suicide bombers which murdered 803 Israeli civilians over 15 years.
- When referencing Jew's holiest site he said it was "so they say" the original spot of the Jew's temple which was destroyed.
To be fair he did make another video in Israel, so he tries to be balanced.

That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

wow brother you are by far one of the bravest caucasian person on social media traveling alone to places that people.have gotten killed, robbed, mugged, etc. Kuddos to you but stay safe out there. Also amazed you spoke so many languages too. I spoke 5 only but dang you probably spoke like 20 plus. Mad props bro.
Tommy, this has to be one of the most fascinating films I’ve seen about Palestine/Israel in a long time. I can’t thank you enough.
It was so interested to get a look into the everyday lives of people whilst this awful war rages on.
I found it equally interesting because I too was there in 2005/06. What a strange feeling it was to see you walking along some of the same alley ways, and driving along some of the very same, roads that my dear late husband and I did all those years ago. That sense of tension that we experienced came back into my chest as you were experiencing the same.
Whilst we were there things were very tense. The check point process was definitely something I recall with some intrepidation. Being ‘encouraged’ by Israeli soldiers not to go, or to go to certain places in some towns, like Jerusalem is also something that stays with me.
I also remember the shock I felt at the explicit racism of some Israeli people, Particularly those in positions of authority, towards Palestinians. We found that so hard. Oddly we did not see that hate being displayed in reverse. To see how that situation appears to have deteriorated, due to recent events, is very sad, but to be expected.
But overriding most of this, was the generosity and kindness shown to us when we were in Palestine. We too were met with curiosity, yet utter kindness. Nothing was too much trouble for those we needed help or advice from.
Palestine was so starkly different in affluence and living conditions from Israel. But this never deterred anyone over the border in Palestine to remain friendly and kind. This was a very pleasant surprise as my husband was infact Jewush.
The visual recordings of the tragedy that is continuing is vital for us to see, however hard it is to look at. But it’s also important that we are reminded that people in both Israel and Palestine are doing what they can to continue with their lives. They have no choice but to do this. But nevertheless it must be so very difficult.
So again Tommy I thank you for showing us the complexity of living in this environment, whilst the most awful events are taking place within such a short distance away. It was really fascinating, but so very sad.
Can I also offer my compliments to you for your courage. My guess is that there are few that would have travelled to the region at the moment, with so little formal ‘backup’, given the continuous bombing etc. You are really very brave to have done so, but I do hope
That you will be very careful if you are still there, or if you are planning such trips in the future.
My very best wishes to you,
Teresa.
Man, what a great documentary this is and what a open minded person you are. This is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for your genuine and honest content. My boyfriend showed me ur vids and now we watch them together :3 Hello from Isabel and Albert across the world 👋 Stay safe friend ! 🙏
This is the most stressful video of yours that I had watch, be careful bro.
Agree! scared for your safety but grateful for your bravery ... love is stronger my friend ...believe in the goodness of humans around the world
Absolutely incredible video - you are amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Captivating journey... thank you for sharing!
As an Israeli, this was the first time I've seen footage from Ramallah streets. Thank you for this. Unfortunately, no peace is coming here anytime soon, but at least you help some of us see the people on the other side.

And the ones who did decided to give foreigners to the land the right to claim nationality and residenceship.

The hotel owner in Jericho was very welcoming, they really looked after you.
Really glad you made this video. No matter what lies the media spews, watching videos like this show the undeniable truth. This video especially showed how hospitable and truly kind Palestinians are. I was also so shocked to see how tightly-controlled everything is. I pray for peace soon ❤

I would give you 10 thumbs up, if I could. There are good people everywhere, and the media is nothing but lies. The problem is too many good people listen to the media in the locations in which they live. Bravo on your confidence in humanity.
Exactly. The main stream media hasn’t covered this genocide for 75 years. The horrific atrocities that are only coming out to many of us because of social media. Many journalists privately say that they want to cover the stories that are happening to the Palestinians in Israel, the their bosses say no. I guess the bosses are tied to Zionist Israel somehow. Check out: “Britain Rises for Gaza: Lowkey exposes Israelis waning grip on politics” . He explains how Israel is tied to main stream media. Justice for Palestinians. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Palestine was the most peaceful laconic place on earth until the Zionist Jews arrived from Europe in 1948.
Yes agree ..it’s good to see the good people and not just the bad ones that MSM shows us …..
You should be the role model for every American. You are always so respectful and kind to the people you come across with. :) you are a good man

I agree with you.... Tommy is a gentleman here in this video. I've just subscribed to his channel. 👍
He is antisemitic, don't support Lazy haters
@@Rachelforpeace1who cares 😂 Jews cry that while having hate for Muslims it is what it is. All religions are corrupt and are there for control and money
Idk about that. Where is he being antisemitic?
I was in Jerusalem over Easter. I went to the Western Wall twice as I was trying to visit Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount.
Israel had blocked off access to it.
The second time I tried, there were a massive number of police and IDF at the Western Wall and on the walkway to access Al Asqa Mosque. There were more police and IDF than civilians.
It was unbelievable.
A week later, Israel sent in drones with tear gas, plus injured and kidnapped some Muslims who were at the mosque
this is the most transparent and honest coverage ive seen in that area. thank you!
u know u can shoot someone with a camera or a communication device and its not a war crime this is very interesting i think be careful
Thanks man I'm saving this for a bed time video watch. Always enjoyed your videos and calm narratives in explaining controversial topics. Stay safe and may there be peace.
Thank you! Praying for everyone!
The hotel owner and his family are so lovely and welcoming. And it is so interesting to hear from them directly what life is like in these difficult times.
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. The humanity is truly felt throughout this video. Also I don't think I'd ever have gone to these places my self so I learned a lot and saw a lot and I sort of feel like in a way I was there along for the adventure. Looking forward to the next!
That was so sad seeing the man pray for peace. It hurts beyond words.

Palestinians have been peacefully living at exactly where they are, but European NaZionist fake Semites came to steal their lands which they claim their religion has right to the those lands. H!tsler also used the same excuse to invade others.
Hate.
Many people have it inside.
They could, but there's people with power who would like for them to keep hating on each other.
Above all things Tommy your videos make me love humans more and more.
We may have geographical, religious or political differences, but we are more the same than we are different.
Big love.
Love what you said ...yes the human heart is full of love no matter what ... Stay HUMAN ❤
We probably share a lot of the same dna ✌️ we look alike that's why it tears my heart to see us at war. 😢 we all lose, and the All mighty is also crying , may we find a peaceful solution for the future of the children .
It sounds good, but the real world has never been true. Someone has to stand on the wall so others may sleep.
This was a good documentary, brother. Glad you made it safely through it.
This was great to see. Thank you, for putting yourself out there for the rest of us to get a great understanding of other cultures
The part with the hotel owner was very heart warming. It also made me sad seeings such decent folks like that caught up in all this mess.
Your vlogs always hit different. Makes me feel like i'm actually there with you thanks man. Stay safe out there.
Absolutely a fascinating video you got here.I have always wondered what it was like in the Palestinian territorys.Good work
"It will take 5 hours to pass the checkpint"... 5 mins later -> "It took 25 minutes from Jericho to Jerusalem"
Depends on their mood once it took me from 2 PM - 10 PM from Jericho to a village near Jerusalem ( without the checkpoint is 30 min ride) a pregnant women had to use the bathroom, kids were hungry me personally I got my period and was in a shitty situation also my parents could not come pick me (thankfully my friend's family picked us up) bcs they were allowing people to leave Jericho (with humiliation and 8h delay ) but closing the checkpoint for people to enter it. all of this while not having enough sleep and coming back from the airport leaving from Italy to Jordan crossing 2 bridges then a checkpoint for 8 h then finally home.
It's so eye opening to see your experiences, how the people react to you, and just everything about this. Thanks for educating us a little on the way too
"Are you a political blogger?" wtf
the hotel owners are so kind, i hope they can withstand all this chaos...
from a portuguese anthropologist here, thank you for this video!
Fact that he asked first if you're Muslim, means they kicked you out because you weren't one.
Thank you Tommy for being a great vlogger. I love how you deliver it, just facts and not sensationalised. Keep up the good work!
You said it well, the difference between Tel Aviv and Ramallah is insane, did not expect that
Do you know why they have checkpoints ? It seems like nobody knows what is going on over there , specially if you are just a tourist , maybe stick around a bit longer .
Your channel is incredibly authentic massive respect to you Sir🙏
I absolutely love your channel. Thank you so much for being brave enough to visit these places and show us true humanity. ❤

Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin.

Thank you for REALLY showing what’s going on there right now. Very informative and obviously entertaining. Makes me want to visit the same areas one day.
I’m curious about why you can understand so many different languages . Amazing and respectful ❤thanks for sharing
When you went to the church, compared to the mosque, nobody asked wether you're Christian or not.
Its Not Usual in Mosques to Ask netheir , You Can See in Saikuse Vlog in Ramallah he Even Slept in the mosque
Yeah Muslims are extremely hostile towards other religions unfortunately 😖
That mosque in Jerusalem was different because of the political situation. The Israeli government limits access.
because the political situation surrounding christians in israel/palestine is not the same. You must not be very sharp if that isn’t blatantly obvious. shame for trying to use that to imply something nasty, honestly.
That one mosque specifically has a lot of tension around it politically. I have visited multiple mosques in the Middle East and they have always been extremely welcoming.
30:20 The English word "hookah" originates from British India, it ultimately derives via Hindustani from the Arabic "huqqa" (pot/jar).
The Arabic term "arjilah" apparently comes via Persian "nargil" from Sanskrit "narikela" (coconut, the material presumably used to make early waterpipes)
The other synonym "shisha" is from the Persian "shishe" (glass/flask) via Ottoman Turkish

It is us who in the west bank are actively being attacked by our own Israeli funded Palestinian Authority as well as Israeli occupation soldeirs themselves. The reason it feels like a different universe is because of the occupation and apartheid we live in on a daily basis.

The instant stress i could see set in when he learned he might not be able to get out was visible. Really helped to understand the situation
I was a border checkpoint soldier back in 2016, and i hated working in Jerusalem because of the way the people coming in and out of the west bank were treated (the Jerusalem soldiers were just not nice people in general) - very tense all around, all the time, but for the most part the people just wanted to come in and work.
I worked a lot on the west bank border checkpoints and those were significantly better than the Jerusalem ones, as our battalion commander was much nicer and understood that we should not interfere with the Palestinian lives - so make sure their crossing into israel was as smooth and quiet as possible. and even other units in the surrounding area that I worked with were just nicer altogether, they didn't want any beef with the palestinians. one thing to note between the areas is that soldiers outside of Jerusalem meet the same workers/etc again and again, so we were able to get to know them way more on a personal level and it made dealing with everyone much easier and an overall nicer experience. the palestinians want quiet on the border, so they also made sure to keep themselves in check by pointing out trouble makers and informing us of anything that may be talked about in their communities.
no one likes a snitch, also no one likes murder and instability my man. Palestinians should not have to go through checkpoints in the west bank because travelling between Palestinian cities should not be restricted, I was treated like shit by a 19 years old soldier on checkpoints and he can even shoot you and not be held accountable, if that would happen in America, I'll be able to shoot back and protect myself, but I salute you for treating people nicely and speaking up because a 19 years old can ruin someone's day everyday and wreck their family and kill someone's father with no law to protect them.
Is this the part where we should pity you, and play world's smallest violin?! Everywhere *you people* go around the world, you guys are hated! (And I am not talking about the Palestinians) "So we should make their crossings into Israel as smooth as possible" ===> Yet the crossings WITHIN the Westbank are designed to make their life a living hell... Every country in the world recognizes Westbank to be Palestinian territory... You people really have something special waiting for you on Judgement Day, God doesn't stand on the side of the occupiers...

I love watching your videos!
My family visited Israel in 1999 and Israel, Egypt, and Jordan in November 2000. I remember that there were boulders everywhere and there was a conflict at that time. The roads into Bethlehem were closed and we had to take back roads. All these places that you visited, I remember visiting even though I was only 6 and 7 when we visited. But it had such an immense impact on me and my life. I remember the people in this region being SO kind. They gave me things everywhere I went. I also remember thinking how odd it was that it was such a militarized place. Our bus driver was Muslim and he gave me a stuffed ram. There was also security everywhere! Our hotels even had X-ray machines like the ones in the airport. Our tour guide was Jewish. Even though there is conflict with people, they got along. I think it’s so different being there than just reading about it or seeing it on the news.
A (French? I think?) camera crew actually followed our tour group around for a bit, but I’ve never found the footage. It would be neat to see.

Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
(2:136 / Translated by Community)

arab is better and crazier
@@ImGlitcherTV
Crazier? Yea. Better? Well, I'd love to hear what you Arabs contributed to the world.
@moshco23 the denial of history is astonishing. Jews were always welcomed by the Arabs while they were getting killed in Europe, that's one. The scientific method, algebra, alchemy, improvements on surgery, mathematics, influence on Europe that led to the rennaisance, do I need to add more. Stop downplaying a civilization just because they're the so called enemy.
@@mooiamacow
It's a genuine question.
Holy moly! This is awesome coverage!!! Thank you!!!!
You did a great job with your videos from what you saw and heard. To clarify,: over 100,000 Muslim and Christian Palestinians (there are no longerJewish Palestinians - see why below) come into Israel daily to work, but must have work permits. When Israel governed the West Bank, Israelis could freely visit West Bank towns and historic Jewish sites, like Abraham's and Sara's tombs.. However, after Israel gave autonomy to Arafat to independently govern the West Bank and Gaza, the Palestinian Authority blocked or made it very unconfirtable and unsafe for Israelis and Jews to visit the towns and Jewish historic sites. The Palestinian Authority also proceeded to rewrite the West Bank history by usurping the Jewish sites and obliterating remains of Jewish communities that were there into the 20th century ( not just 20th century settlers) calling them Palestinian and even brainwashing the West Bank residents, Western bleeding hearts and students that Jews never lived in the West Bank - which is definitely not true!
How many false claims can you put in one comment? "Yes!" Start asking how many Palestinian or Palestinian Israelis can move freely in Israel, or even the West Bank 😂 It's easy to talk when you have no evidence
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for taking this trip and bringing us along.
Your video proves what I believe from traveling to so many countries. People are people. At the end of the day, the nature of people are pure and kind. If more people can resist external factors (gov, media, politics), the kindness is the same everywhere you go if your intend is as kind as well. However, "now you know what it's like to be Palestinians".
Seems quite normal
@eden5260 You must be blind then.
@@samara6041 just not brainwashed
@@eden5260You forgot the part where he said we go do protests everyday.
The woman at mosque said they weren't allowed everyday.
You forgot the part where the guy said most of the people were refugees cause they were displaced by Israelis.
You forgot the part where the guy at the barbecue said it takes 3 to 5 hours in the checkpoint, and the checkpoint is in palestine. You forgot the Israeli checkpoints in Palestinian territory.
@@eden5260you also didn't watch the part where he said the Israelis as the checkpoint shoot the Palestinians in their own land.
He said it's 3-5 hours to cross the checkpoint no? It was instant. Also all the cars pretty much drive through. Good that you show the truth
He had to switch to crossing on foot and he is not Palestinian. I wouldn't discount the lived experience of the Palestinian hotel owner so quickly.
