As an American I cry over what we have done. Not my fault as I was 100% against going there and it did not even make sense. Some crazy terrorist paid for my Osama Bin Laden kill us in NYC and we go to Iraq? ? So many dead for no good reason. Saddam was not our problem.

[@rzadigi]

What an amazing couple of dudes ❤ they just randomly meet an Israeli in their Muslim country and then they decide to drop everything and give him a special tour. How many people would do this in their country? Especially to a guest from a more or less hated country. This is a wonderful example of the brotherhood that actually exists in our strained world. These types of stories make me want to be a better human🙏❤️

So emotional! Maaaann, you are so inspiring. We are living in the last generation when the final redemption is at hand, and probably i would comment something similar in the videos in Palestine, it's has been tought and we have been learning that in every jew is the sparks of Moses, so in every jew not only has the potential of becoming the anointed one, but right now with the acts of kindness as you are building bridges of brotherhood, it's like every israelite is becoming a mini mashiach. We have came to a point where in the whole middle east and others parts of the world too, we knew the violence and bad things of the past and we are ready to cut the chain of the evil, the cycle.

Hi Saluki, nice video. There's one question that comes inmediately to my mind. Maybe they assumed automatically that if you had the balls to be visiting their land as a normal tourist is because you disagree with zionism and the state of Israel. Like you were born in Israel just by chance but that wasn't your "fault", something like that. Do you think every thing would have been the same if they knew that you are a zionist?. Thank you for the video

[@theSalukie]

Hey Juan, how are you? If I was explicitly telling them something like that they would probably think I'm trying to pick a fight. It would be a rather awkward statement to make out of the blue, and would probably be translated as hostility, and they obviously wouldn't be so hecking nice to a guy who is clearly trying to be a menace. Let's say I was famous or something, and they came to think that without me having to tell them. In that case, I reckon they would probably not want to talk with me in the first place. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
