And now, after October 7th, her grandparents' homeland of Palestine is now also being destroyed. How she remains positive and even a shining light in her corner of the world is awe inspiring.

As a westerner who no longer sees Syria in the news, this video has been a stark realisation that we as westerners have never truly known Syria. And it’s because of this that we have missed out on its utter beauty, and the loving kindness of its peoples.

[@HelloOnepiece]

It actually scary how much knowledge people lack about the region (middle east) , like my classmate did not realize until last year that the Persia and the persians from history books are Iran and its people

[@adonia8508]

I'm sorry, but the people of the West, especially the Americans, are as responsible for the war in the Middle East as their government. How can you keep quiet about the atrocity that has happened in the Middle East? Not being curious or completely indifferent to your own country's policies in war zones means you approve of what they are doing or you just don't care about the future of these people or this country you don't even know. How many Americans could locate Iraq or Syria on a map? How many Americans could explain the country's religious differences, its past, the reasons why there are conflicts? Rare...and yet the Wikileaks affair proved that the US got involved in this war for economic reasons only. The irony is that Julien Assange is convicted for wanting to speak the truth and Bush/Obama end their lives quietly without any problems. You are as much responsible (the western people) not because you agree, I know that the majority do not agree with their decisions, but because you do not give a damn about this region, that you keep silent and that you see this population as terrorists when they are the main victims of these religious extremists.

[@ToumaBittar]

As a Syrian, I can assure you that there’s so much more to Syria than what’s being shown on the news.. but like I said in the video. International media won’t be like ((Breaking News)) a totally normal day in Syria. We make headlines only when something awful is happening🤷‍♂️

Knowing that I will never return to the same Syria that I so desperately miss and adore and that it will take decades to repair the physical damages and eons to heal the emotional damage breaks my heart, with that being said I know that Syrians are strong people and they will persevere and they will build an even bigger and better Syria for future generations to come.

I am from Iraq living in Sweden, but I have travelled to Syria when I was young before the war started and I can say Syria was so beautiful. I remember going on a road trip to different cities in Syria with my family and relatives. We travelled in a van and saw so many things, the nature, waterfalls straight out of a disney story and Bedouins (people living in the deserts). Although my memory is not clear from then because it was about 12 years ago I remember so clearly the time we went to an outdoor restaurant around mountains and greenery. It was so beautiful words cannot describe it, it had a river going through the restaurant and the comfort I felt there was unreal. There was an old man with a tabla (a kind of drum) and all the kids were singing with him and having fun. Syria was full of liveliness and laughter. I cried so many times while watching this, it felt personal even though I am from Iraq and not Syria. It breaks my heart how the media view us from the middle east, but I hope more people will see this side of Syria and the whole middle east. Behind every war, trashy governments and politicians we are still humans just like everyone on this planet, we are just people trying to live and exist. Aside from that like said in the video, we from the middle east have hope for a brighter and better future. I hope one day I am able to contribute to rebuilding the middle east for its people, traditions and culture. Thank you so much Yes Theory for showing a side of the middle east many people have not seen, you are making a much needed change by doing this.

The amount of time, planning, effort, and determination to just fly down and arrive in Syria is beyond admirable on its own. But to produce a masterpiece. To capture so many emotions, moments, and history that the world is yet to even discover. To share stories of human beings who are living in pain, heart ache, yet have so much patience, so much positivity and will power to spread love to a stranger that is an outcast in a country that has lost everything. The strangers still choose to share their love, their time, their food. This documentary that is so well put together, is the epitome that anyone in the world that has a roof above their heads, electricity and a stable job should count their blessings on their hands and to think twice before complaining about non-sense, and to thank god and to be grateful for every day you wake up to see your family, neighbours and the echoes of children running and playing in the schools down your road. God bless every one of you in the video shared and to who ever is reading. Tell your family you love them. Smile at all the simple things in life that we are so blessed to witness.

If this youtuber didn't not take a permission from the dictatorship regime, he wouldn't been able to enter the country, thats why he never mentioned the regime’s crimes against its people when they demanded freedom. Unfortunately, there are a lot of scum on KZbin and social media who promote visiting the country that was destroyed because of the mafia regime who killed and tortured people in prisons (search about Qaisar photos on internet). This regime killed journalists were trying to tell the true story of the Syrians, and bombed cities with chemical weapons, and all this is documented on the Internet, and everyone knows that the problem of the Syrians is not only ISIS or al-Qaeda because the leaders of these terrorist groups were in Syrian prisons and they were released to give a wrong image about the Syrian revolution. The problem of the Syrians is the head of the mafia who inherited power from his father And he wants to pass it to his mentally handicapped son. I just wonder how this youtuber would sleep after this disgraceful video he made to polish the image of the regime and promote coming to a country that even its people do not want to return to as long as the asshole Assad who murdered his own people is still in power! The girl who accompanied him on the trip said about the place which the protests against the dictator's regime started: "From here the problems started." but she didn't say that there were peaceful protesters there and were faced by guns.. she doesn't want to go back to her neighbourhood because she would remember the frightening thing that happened there, and she did not mention that Bashar al-Assad besieged her neighbourhood and starved civilians because they rose up against his oppression. You can search on internet about "the Siege of Yarmouk camp" Bashar Assad is the one whom destroyed the city of Palmyra and stole its antiquities in order to take revenge on the city because its people rose up against his oppression, so he sent ISIS and cooperated with them to loot the antiquities, and all of this is documented on the Internet. The Syrian regime is the one who bombed schools and destroyed hospitals over children heads in Homs and all the Syrian cities with the support of Iran, Hezbollah and Russia, but unfortunately all these information were ignored in this cheap video!! I am from Daraa, the last city that was visited in this video “Busra” I'm a former detainee and now I live in Europe. I witnessed the massacres that the regime committed in my city against my people before ISIS was existed.. and I will never return to Syria before Bashar al-Assad is killed. like me, there are 12 millions of Syrians refugees all over the world. To those who believed these kind of videos and started thinking to visit this country before the fall of the ruling mafia..

As a 20 year old Palestinian who’s lived the past 16 years in Syria, I can say I’ve benefited a whole lot from this well-made documentary.

As we’ve always run away from our dark realities and tried to distract ourselves by any means possible. Growing up in a war-torn country and pushing through the challenges which the war presented was never easy, and is forever traumatic. But at least it’s forced us to grow a thick thick skin that will help us dramatically throughout our futures(Ghaidaa is a great example for this).

[@basharasadi8986]

@@michaelreid8857 So what happened after we got kicked out of our land in 1948 is that millions of Palestinians were scattered all over the Middle East(mostly Jordan, Syria and Lebanon), and a handful stayed in Palestine. Now legally and practically Palestinians are treated differently as opposed to the country they refuge in. So Palestinians living under the Palestinian State in Gaza and the West Bank(the people who never left Palestine) can get a Palestinian passport, which is still a weak passport. However we as refugees can’t go back and enter Palestine(even the free lands) since we’re considered a “threat” by Israeli forces who still forcefully control the borders. So at the end of the day refugees like Ghaidaa and myself are considered stateless, and are limited to whatever passport or legal work the countries we live in offer us. In the case of Syria we’re offered a passport that can only get us to a handful of countries around the world, since the Syrian passport itself is one of the weakest passports in the world… and the one issued to Palestinians is even slightly worse. So that’s what Ghaidaa spoke of in the video.

Hey thomas, I am currently living in Lebanon and was surprised when i saw you passed by. You stated that it wasnt the focus of today’s video but there was so much to learn about Lebanon. And ao, if you ever decide to come visit, i can hook you up with my old history teacher, that is the wisest and most aware person i’ve ever met when it comes to our country’s history. I know her well enough to tell you that she’s be more than happy to show you around and teach you everything there is to know. If you ever pass by, leave me a message :)

I hope he does check this, I’m a Lebeanse who studies a lot of history and I think maybe it could make people more aware about the state of Lebanon itself.

One of the saddest and most poignant documentaries I've ever seen. I watched this intently, hoping beyond all hope that by some stroke of chance I might see my friend in the background somewhere, my best friend Hadeel Al Ali, whom I have not heard from since she returned to Syria from America and the Arab Spring began. I. don't know if she went underground, but she grew up in Latakia, and since she returned to Syria, she disappeared from facebook and none of our mutual friends have heard from her. My heart breaks for her country, and I pray that she is ok. She hasn't been heard from for over ten years now.

I'm half Syrian and I grew up in syria, I left in 2005 when I was 17, the best and happiest memories in my mind are from my home country Syria, it was a happy peaceful place where we felt like a big family, we all came together friends, family, neighbours, you never had to worry about your safety or security, no one had to worry about food as it was dirt cheap, my mother is Hungarian and a christian, everyone treated her with love and respect, she never wanted to leave syria as she felt like home, the last time I visited syria was in 2010 before the war and now seeing these images of distruction it broke my heart, I want to visit my home country but I am terrified of what I will see, it will destroy all the happy memories I have from my youth plus knowing that all of my friends I kept in touch with have left the country....I don't think it will ever be the same and I am heartbroken for the people of syria because they are the most kind and generous people I have ever knew
