Where the Jordan River enters the Dead Sea - Monasteries, Zionism & War (RARE FOOTAGE)

In this video I’m going to show you some places in Israel that you’ll never have seen before. There is a lot to talk about in this area and I will be focusing on three topics: the monasteries you can find here, the Zionist settlements in the area, and the border between Jordan and Israel.

I notice you pronounce Joshua and Jesus in english but in hebrew their name the same.

[@user39h2j8il]

@Travelingisraelinfo I love your videos. Please never change your stance of giving us your viewers the truth and your perspective. The only thing I don't like is how catholicism has infiltrated Israel with their creepy churches with the creepy depictions of Jesus and Christianity. Catholicism is just a continuation of the Babylonian mother/child cults and has ZERO to do with Christianity that is in the Bible. Catholicism is a religion, Christianity is a relationship with Jesus who is God.

All of Oren's videos turn out to be fascinating and fun to watch (especially with an upcoming first trip to Israel in sight) but this one, in particular, was really worth watching. Oren turns out to be terrifically charming and likeable and knowlegeable and generous with his knowledge! Todah rabah, Oren

[@brewcityrckr]

Thank you for your honesty, Oren. I've watched many videos in preparation for our upcoming trip to Israel and find yours to be the most enjoyable. I enjoy hearing your perspective and your love for Israel is obvious in the time and care you've spent in making these videos.

[@barbaraconnolly9000]

The level of hatred that some people are capable of is truly staggering. Hatred makes you incapable of learning and seeing differently, it makes the mind small and closed.

Excellent, excellent; especially the commentary at the end. You are absolutely right. Here is a novel case where governments want peace but the people (of Jordan) do not. It says alot about the culture of Islamo-fascism.

We'd love to travel with you, if we ever get to return to Israel (we are unvaccinated Australians, we may make it into Israel, but at this time, we would not be allowed to return to our own country).

"Palestine" is a Hebrew Word, Plishtim, from the Hebrew Bible for ancient israel's arche nemesis, who weren't even Arab, and the word literally means "invaders".

[@arnoldzilban8274]

It's rather sad that compared to ancient times of its ecology the Jordan river, probably was very green, rich and life inspiring. It now looks sapped, tired, neglected and devoid of beauty. It is understandable however, that because it serves as a border between nations mired in memory and tradition of hostility the Jordan river is not given the deserving chance needed to thrive. But despite the sadness, great job that you brought this area and its history into full public view.

[@ericjoblutherjansen7954]

@@generaljg4373 wasn't the name Israel changed by the Roman Empire to Palistine? Just wondering 🤔 💭

[@salyluz6535]

@@ericjoblutherjansen7954 Yes the Roman Empire did this in order to humiliate the Israelis. They found it especially funny to use the name of the Philistines, whose giant Goliath was killed by David when he was still a young boy. The Philistines also used the woman Delilah against the Israeli Judge Sampson. They captured him and gouged his eyes out. Knowing this history, the Roman Empire thought it was quite amusing to choose the name of a small group of extinct people who had formerly lived around the city of Gaza, to appropriate that name and apply it to the larger Promised Land, promised by God to Abraham, Isaac and Israel’s descendants forever. When part of the land was returned to the Jewish people as a homeland on their original territory, the name was returned to being called Israel. God changed Jacob‘s name to Israel in the Bible, and his 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel. So it is proper that the Holy Land is known by the name that goes back to its founding, Israel! The original philistines are also seafaring European people from the Greek islands, and were not an Arabic people. After the Philistines were killed off, within the last millennium these Arabic people moved in and appropriated their name. But this is the Promised Land that God gave to his people, rightfully named Israel. Look up online and see the size of the kingdom of David, and the Kingdom of Solomon. All that land belongs to the Israeli people, but they gave up rights to very much of it in exchange for peace. The nations of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are on part of this land today. So where is Israeli peace right now? The only Arabic people who want to live in peace that we know of for sure, are the ones living within Israel now, who are very glad they live in a democracy! A recent survey of them shows that they do not want to live in Gaza or any other surrounding Islamic nation. They appreciate that in Israel they have good infrastructure, good schools, the opportunity to attend university, many opportunities to get ahead in life, opportunity to start their own businesses and be a success! They have the opportunity to become a citizen of Israel and be part of the political process, even running for office if they wish! And an increasing number of Muslims, Christians and Druze are choosing to voluntarily join the Jews in the IDF! They don’t have to (like the Jews do), but they are choosing to. If you don’t believe me, look up Major Ella, Formerly known as Captain Ella. She is an observant Arabic speaking Muslim woman who is a Major in the IDF!
