The Other Side of Palestine | More Than Just a War Zone

An American here who spent a month on the West Bank back in the late 1990s. All Americans should go there in order to understand the realities regarding the region. When you pointed down the hill and said it looked like there were interesting things to see but it was too hot to walk down, those are more Israeli settlements. Thanks for visiting!

You can watch Part 2 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paW3eGSle6qXp7s A few things: My comment about no planes overhead didn't really make sense. I was trying to say no planes shooting missiles or dropping bombs right then. Those were probably military jets that you could hear. Point being, it isn't always a war zone in Palestine, regular life goes on despite the very real conflict that of course flares up at times in unfortunate ways. As for King Herod, my point was that if he died in 4 BC and Jesus was born four years later in 1 AD (which is what our calendar is based on) then there's something wrong in the timeline of the story in the Bible about Joseph and Mary fleeing Israel with Jesus in order to escape Herod's massacre of babies in Bethlehem. It's widely believed by historians that Jesus was not in fact born in 1 AD but a few years earlier, likely sometime between 3 BC and 7 BC. So it's certainly possible that there was an overlap between when Jesus was born and when King Herod died. But either way, there are doubts by historians about the story of King Herod actually ordering the killing of all male babies around Bethlehem. Also, to confuse matters further, there are two different King Herods. When King Herod or Herod the Great died in around 4 BC, he was succeeded by his son, Herod Antipas. Herod the Great is who supposedly ordered the killing of male babies, whereas Herod Antipas is the King Herod who is mentioned in the Bible as playing a role in the deaths of John the Baptist and Jesus.

Because it is forbidden according to PA law. Jews are not allowed to live, work, buy land, visit, move around in the areas transferred to the Palestinian Authority following the Oslo Accords in 1995.

It's hard for me to say but if you have any doubt then hiring a guide is probably a good idea.

Traveling with a local by taxi is a great way to go, but of course it isn't cheap. You can also do day trips from Israel into the West Bank and see a lot. Hopefully my videos will give an idea of what it's like and whether it's somewhere that people feel comfortable traveling. If it doesn't look like your place to be then don't go.

It is not known how Dionysius established the year of Jesus's birth. Two major theories are that Dionysius based his calculation on the Gospel of Luke, which states that Jesus was "about thirty years old" shortly after "the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar", and hence subtracted thirty years from that date, or that Dionysius counted back 532 years from the first year of his new table.

The Herodiam can't really be classed as being in Palestine as it's in the Biblical territory of Yehuda (Judah) and is in area C which divide the West Bank into area's A, B and C, with Area C being under Israeli Military Authority since the Oslo Accords in 1993. Herodium is 758 meters (2,487 ft) above sea level. The site is in Area C of the West Bank, formally under the jurisdiction of the Israeli Civil Administration, a body of military officers, and in practice it is administered jointly with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. If it was under Palestinian Authority Administration you might find pieces of it all over the black market and within the antique shops of Jerusalem's Old City as it is a site that reminds them of the Jewish history in the land.

Thank you for this response! 💖💙💜 By the way, only I think this clip was offensive, insulting and anti-Semitic. He simply took the rich history of the Jewish people in Judea and Samaria and threw it in the trash by giving a title as if he was in the Palestinian Authority, which is a different place than what you see on television. Although it is found in an archaeological site in Israeli Judea and Samaria.

I always wonder how long it would take to dig these cisterns and wells back in those times. The amount of manpower needed to dig and continually draw water is mind boggling.

Gabriel- thanks for your guided tour of Palestine, the Nativity Church & King Herod’s fortress/palace. Absolutely riveting! I look forward to seeing your coverage of Jericho! Jenni (Sydney). 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@patriotsforisrael3610]

Hebron, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Shechem (aka: Nablus) and even Jenin ("Ein Ganim") are *Hebrew cities* with a rich Jewish history of thousands of years (!!!). Wherever you dig in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem you will find Jewish archeology. 😊🕎

very cool, about Herod died 4BC, So Jesus was born before that, maybe 7BC, the dates are a little messed, no big deal...enjoyed seeing Herod's stuff, thanks for posting so much

[@Pookasita]

I think there's a lot of confusion between Herod and his son, Herod Antipas. Wikipedia didn't help me understand any better but I believe the latter was the worst of the two. He definitely was responsible for killing John the Baptist according to historical records.

Well, Christians and Muslims seem to live peacefully in Palestine amongst each other. The problem is the 3rd side that wants it all for themselves. The ones that we cant even name in the video because we get banned from youtube.

But he is not in FAKEstine. He is on Jewish side of Judea and Samaria (ISRAEL!!) at a Jewish archaeological site (Bar Kochba Revolt, etc.) that is maintained and funded by Israel. Because the so-called Palestinians are systematically destroying Jewish archeology in the Holy Land, as happened in Joseph's tomb, the altar on Mount Ebal, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, etc. Israel is responsible for (most) heritage sites in the Holy Land.

@GabrielTravelerVideos There was more than one Herod. There was Herod the Father and Herod the son, people often confuse the two.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Correct, see the comment I pinned at the top clarifying that.

[@thechubbytrekker8603]

What I learned during my confirmation years is that Jesus was born around 6-4 B.C. There was a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in 6 B.C. which caused the North star to shine brightly so the Magi could find where Jesus was born. Also, Herod died in 4 B.C. and there were numerous Herods.

[@Simonsvids]

The nativity is only mentioned in the gospels of Luke and Mathew so may actually be later additions which are completely fictitious because why would Mark and John not even mention it?
