I have been a lifelong pro-Palestinian (inherited views from my father). After seeing your videos I would like to visit Israel for myself. I have only heard one side of the story until now. Thank you for sharing your perspective. EDIT: I discovered a brilliant podcast on the history of the conflict recently called "Fear and Loathing in New Jerusalem". It has been incredibly eye opening. I *highly* recommend it to anyone wanting to further understand the conflict like me.

I don't get people who are pro anything when they don't live in either of those countries, like have you guys got notihng better to do than to waste your time meddling with other nations affairs?? Both sides will have very convincing facts to use against the other side, either truths or lies but no one can know for sure how everything is 100% and anyone who's pro anything doesn't even know a single fuck about how much is true of what they know. For all we know this guy can be telling lots of false information aswell. Jews lived there a long time ago before they were driven out, this is overall common information but no one is old enough to know if any of the source material is true so no one can claim they know for sure. Muslims have been living there for the next 1000+ years, Nazi's happened and instead of wanting to give up their own land, the US and Western countries saw a historic link with an area where Muslims live and just put the Jews there. I don't know if anyone living in the area was literally driven out forcefully to make place for the Jews but if it was like this then it's fucked up and not okay. Neither sides are at fault and both sides are at fault depending on hich topic we're talking about, all I know for sure is that the U.S. is a big country with areas where nearly not a single soul lives and that IF they drove away the Palestinians from their homes then all this could've been solved by giving a small part of a U.S. state with nearly no one living in it to the Jews instead of driving people away from their homes somewhere on another continent. And I'm not siding with the muslims because I hate Islam as a gay person and seeing how violant and disrespectful many muslim men are in my European country. I'll never treat someone different because of their religion or ethnicity so everyone is treated equal as long as they're nice and respectful, but I'm biased against Islam and think it's a fucked up doctorine (most religions are actually) with a very brainwashed extremist mass adhering to it unlike other religions where more people have enough brains to no stone someone to death because of some ridiculous rules in their holy book.

That would be advisable! Don't know what or where would be recommended, currently; but, Israel has its hands full at the moment. The US state department wasn't much help to tourists from America, telling them they could do an extraction, but would require being reimbursed afterwards. Wonder what the cost of military extractions go for these days? One dear senator from Florida did go in and extract (last I heard) over 80 American tourists at his own expense. G-d bless that man. When you go, and I pray it is sooner than later; if you can arrange it at all to fly El Al ... you won't be disappointed. They have a brief interview process for security and they know what to look for. It's amazingly humane compared to our own invasive (one size fits all) process. They are also the only airline equipped with a missile defense system. Something I didn't know when I traveled with them over a decade ago. Do yourself a favor and get a tour guide for part of your stay, like Oren. He is very informative on so many things. Leave some wiggle room to explore on your own, too. There's so much to experience! It's a whole different world: I don't travel for food, but the fresh Israeli cuisine has changed that. It is so fresh and everything (I mean EVERYTHING) grows there! You'll feel so healthy from all the good food and walking; and good vibes, especially around Jerusalem! I am sorry to learn from this video that my favorite Israeli instant coffee is so ill thought of by Mr. Oren 😲 ... I'm a complete coffee nerd, outside of the land. I cannot imagine what went wrong. It must be one of those psycho-emotional triggers(?) I had so many good experiences over a cup of: קפה נמס עלית in kibbutzim, and around different hotels, that I insist all my friends bring me back a canister of it whenever they go! Of course any fresh strong Israeli coffee is better than instant. When I return, Oren and I will have to have a sit down over Israeli coffee, I insist. Hope this helps motivate you to be prepared when the door opens on your own adventure. It is definitely a calling!

Love your videos. I grew up in Germany and learning about WWII every year in school, made me pretty much immune to antisemitism. I visited concentration camps and even had the honour to meet a Holocaust survivor, which added a real human experience to my knowledge on the suffering of the Jewish communities on Europe. I also watched many documentaries on the Jews in Arab countries, particularly Iraq. I will never ever understand what is going on on streets in major Western cities today. I honestly believe that no sane person can portray Israelis as colonisers. I am sorry you have to live through this but I will always support you vocally and speak out against antisemitism.

We Christians eat non kosher items because of what is written about what happened to Peter in Acts 10:9-15... Quote, "The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again."

Thank you for showing daily life in Israel. I've NEVER seen a TV-program in Norway showing how people live in Israel. I don't know why I have always supported Israel. But I remember that as a child back in the 70s I saw Norwegian TV reporters on NRK reporting one-sidedly about Israel as the attacking part when I as a 12 year old child clearly could see that this was not the case. There was NEVER any condemnation of the PLO and other terrorist organizations. I like Israeli people and would like to apologize on behalf of Norway for the way we refer to Israel and the way Norwegian politicians steal our tax money and send it to finance your enemies. I don't understand how you manage to constantly being unfairly hated not only by your neighbors but by large parts of the world. I would really like to visit Israel one day. Even a simple act of hatred like palestinians children constantly throwing rocks on your roof is worse than gunshots fired at you. Everybody can hear a gun being fired, but only you can hear and feel the silent hatred from your neighbor.

When you pulled out the ice cream bucket, I had to laugh. Among the Lakota (an American Indian tribe in the US) we call those wateca or wateca buckets. At feasts we over cook and guests are expected to bring containers to take home the leftovers. There is a joke that every Lakota woman has tin foil in her purse (to wrap leftovers). My prayers are with you and your people during this terrible time.

I also have a suggestion for a video: signs in Hebrew. When I watch videos of the Shuk, I can’t read the signs. I also notice that some signs seem to suggest religious affiliations. It would be interesting to learn some of the common words on signs and what they might mean to different peoples in Israel. Thank you again for your videos, and most of all, for honesty and wit.

Srugim shows the life of modern orthodox, the kind that wear crocheted kippot, srugim. Those were typical Friday night prayers. The husband reads a poem praising his wife. The children are blessed. The candles are lit and blessed. Kiddush is said over the wine, Hands are washed. Then the challah is blessed. You eat, and then comes the benching, birkat hamazon.

Very relatable in the Filipino culture. - That ice cream container? Man, it is also used to store leftover food whenever there's a lot of it during birthdays, weddings, you name it. Although, some Filipinos are more prepared. They bring plastic bags! It's easy to carry and you can bring a lot of it. 😂😂

A fun upload! Soup nuts however, despite the Israeli urban myth, are a traditional Ashkenazic food. They used to be called "mandlen" - almonds. Growing up in 1960s Canada they were manufactured by Streit's brand (American) and called soup nuts.

Mandlen are different from Israeli soup nuts. Mandlen are big and puffy. Israeli soup nuts are small, dense and crunchy (at least at the beginning before they get mushy in the soup). I grew in Montreal with both.

@@condovo Hi! When I was young the big, puffy ones you describe were referred to as "einlauf" both on packages and by older folks. For some reason, the older name was dropped and now both are called "mandlen". But it wasn't always so, certainly not when I was growing up (I am a grandmother). We referred to them as egg drops. You make a runny batter with eggs, flour, water and salt and drop from a spoon into rapidly boiling soup. For mandlen - you make a dough, cut chunks and roll into long, skinny ropes. Cut the ropes into tiny pieces and deep fry in schmaltz. In Israel they add turmeric (for colour) and starch (so they float longer and don't get mushy) and sugar (Israelis put sugar in everything) and fry in vegetable oil. Shoyach!

Bamba is the size of a little hand - perfect size and easy to grab it. It's easy😅 for babies to proniunce -"ABBA, IMA, BAMBA" was once an ad. ( Mommy, Daddy, Bamba) It's an excellent hand-to-mouth coordination exercise for very young children! Bamba is very soft with slight crunch, but nearly melts quickly in your mouth, meaning babies won't choke on it. Then when you are older you "graduate" to Bisli, with its more layered taste.😂 These two are associated with school parties and picnics and school trips. The fun association of these two Osem snacks continues through an Israeli life...kinda like Coca Cola, actually.
