What surprised me is that twice a purse was left in a highly tourist areas for many hours, and when we returned to retrieve it, not only were they still there, but nothing was missing. Not a single shekel. ❤️ Israel so much. Been there 6 times and planning my next. I represent millions of Evangelical Christians in the US, Canada, and around the world who love and support Israel. It does feel like home, in a way. However, once outside of the typical tourist areas and without a tour group, it can feel a little lonelier, especially if one does not know Hebrew or have friends/family to eat Shabbat dinner with.

The last question at 21:05 is something people should listen to as it is an extremely common feeling among non-Israeli Jews. Our history, our culture, our holy book, our stories and (most) of our genes originate from the area of modern day Israel. That feeling cannot be fully described but it is something deep that cannot be erased, and that a lot of people don’t want to understand. Praying for peace in Israel/Palestine, salaam, shalom❤️

[@sheilanixon913]

The Askenazim, as well as the Sephardic Jews also Have genes which show that they are Middle Eastern and not European.Their ancestors migrated north from Italy into what is now Germany.and then east towards Russia.over 1200 years ago. Their strict marriage laws meant and still mean that they do not intermarry with non Jews .The Christian Arabs in the Holy Land are the Descendants of the Samaritans , who were part Israelite and part ASSyrian , who were brought to the Holy Land after 727 BC.Modern Jews all have their ancestry in Judea , and Galilee , the real""Palestinians "" come from Samaria/ West Bank , but the Muslim Arabs come from Saudi Arabia, the Yemen and Oman. DNA studies are showing that these facts are correct. The Iranians allege that there was no Holocaust , and that 6 million European Jews migrated to Israel after 1948.The full lists of all the jews who were murdered , were found in the Government Offices in East Berlin, in the former East GErmany , in 1991. This has enabled the tiny remnant of Jews who survIved the Camps , to go to the International Court in Geneva, and claim their ancestors' money and property back , from The Germans and the SWiss, who were not as neutral as the yalleged in World War 2 . Also the British Government did not allow any Jews into the Holy Land from 1917 to 1948 as The British Foreign Office was and still is pro Arab. This is why we have Anti Semitism , because our Government will not crack down on Anti-Semitism properly.The Germans also murdered 900.00 Roma or Gypsy people in Europe , who hqave never received any compensation, plus 2 million Germans who were mentally ill. The Mental Hospitals were emptied from 1941 to 1944. There can be forgiveness but the Germans have to always bear the guilt about the people murdered by their grand=parents and great grandparents. These guilty people DID KNOW , biut kept their eyes and mouths shut.

[@sandrad9695]

I believe there is a special connection between all Jews and the land. I believe it is a spiritual connection even for non-observant Jews. For some reason, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob chose these people and this land for His purposes. There will always be Jews in the land from now on. The people who fight against this will only bring trouble on themselves. Doesn’t mean Arabs can’t live in proximity with some type of self-government, but the Jews need to be in charge for their own protection. How can anyone deny God’s hand in the modern state of Israel? They came from all over the world back to their ancient ancestral homeland. The Hebrew language has been revived. They’ve been victorious in so many wars when they were outgunned outmanned. They now control their ancient capital Jerusalem, and are slowly filling up Judea and Samaria. So many in the world have turned against Israel because the older generations who knew about and understood the Holocaust have passed on, and the new generations have only heard Arab propaganda. The UN singles out Israel for the most amount of resolutions every year condemning it. But it doesn’t matter. The Jews are back in the land and will remain so, and I rejoice at this. ♥️

In fact, the share of Indonesian Christians is such that tourist companies in Israel complained to their government when they halted Visas for Indonesians.

I've visited Israel as a non-jewish tourist, mainly visiting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. I can say what really surprised me: - I felt so safe everywhere I went, from Israel to A zones in P.A. - The segregation in Jerusalem without any walls and hard borders (Old Town and West/East Jerusalem) - The difference between two cities, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in just 50km is astonishing. Feels like they're capitals of two different countries. - Rav Kav system - Military in Jerusalem everywhere, 18yo cadets roaming through the city with weapons everywhere - How building facades in Tel Aviv and roads/sidewalks are unmantained. For a rich city like that it's a shame - How tall the segregation wall is - How dirty the palestinian territories are. Trash everywhere, shame - Palestinians still have a smile and go on day by day even if they have so many difficulties in their lives - I head that Israelis are direct and they have no problem talking with you, but I didn't imagine that they could be so open. Not even southern Italy is that open - Internal flights from TLV to Eliat. Why?

The thing is, israel got very rich very fast and the development of the serroundings comes with a delay when compared to the actual growth of the economy.

In addition, israel helps the US further its interests in the region without having to put an american boot on the ground because the israelis can fight the wars themselves. Add to that the fact that the tech giants in the US are dependent on the israeli tech sector for a lot of their R&D and cybersecurity services. 20% of the fortune 500 companies have R&D centers in israel, which means trillions are on stake here. *Israeli* companies alone, in NY alone generated around 30 billion dollars to the local economy.

As an Israeli, the worst thing about living in Israel is the political situation, internally and externally. The terror attacks are just a symptom but they are scary to deal with even if they are not as often as they used to be during the Second Intifada (although there is a growing fear in me of a third Intifada..) I also fear that the country will no longer be democratic if Bibi passes his machiavellian justice reform, which sucks. But overall the country is considered very safe. Most people are kind and welcoming, and they go out of their way to help people in their communities. For example, a cars repair shop burned down one time in my small town, and people in the community created a fund to repair it. I love this country and I wish the best for it.

[@zbigniewmaleszak1310]

Do you understand that terrorists attacks are just the response? I’m Polish, when Poland was occupied by Germany or Russia, terrorist attacks against the occupiers were often the only way of fight. Polish Jews fought against Nazis too , they were also labelled “ bandits or terrorists “.

A custom of Israel can become religious law as declared by the Orthodox Rabbis. The way an Orthodox Jew dresses is a sanctified tradition of their ancestors. Wearing a kippah (skullcap) has been practiced for 800 years before that it was never worn, but now it has become an actual man-made law that has its own rules and regulations. It is forbidden to pray without wearing a kippah. However, the Torah specifically forbids adding new laws. Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. Deuteronomy 12:32 Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do. You shall not add to it or take from it. Proverbs 30:6 Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. If you follow these man-made laws you are being obedient to man and not to God. These man-made laws have made it impossible to keep the Torah. The Orthodox Rabbis have made void the word of God.

No one cares if they call themselves Palestinians or not, that's their right, but there are facts on the ground. Even in fact if you say that Jews came from other countries most of the Jews who live in Israel like my family came from territories controlled by the Ottoman Empire so that still means that my family was here first...
