- We went to Huwara, a Palestinian village and talked to a few locals. Shortly thereafter, we visited Kfar Tapuah, an Israeli Settlement, and tried Johnny’s sister’s hummus joint. Join us!

I am amazed by this casual expression of racism when the solider told him "they are not Arabs, they are Jews". I imagine if the Arabs were filming the soldiers, the consequences for them would be very dire.
They wanted to enter the West Bank, and it's dangerous for Jews to be there. That's why they said that. You can see that they were confused because it's not every day a Jew asks how to get inside, it's dangerous for him.
Stop trying to create wrong situations. 🙏🏽❤️
Yeah, almost like they have a history of filming soldiers positions to plan attacks on them... Try filming soldiers anywhere in the world and see how it goes for you.
i am amazed that you dont think that arabs propose much bigger threat to soldiers than jews
the army does not want Jews to go to these arab cities in the west bank because the chances are very high to be abducted or killed.
there have been many incidents like this. this is not racism. it's protection
You should watch more of his videos where numerous Palestinians are overtly racist against Jews. It is a constant theme, though the narrator is treated well.
We’re all brothers and cousins at the end of the day. Peace and love to all mankind 🙏
Peace and love
@@theSalukie really respect your work brother. I’m an “atheist” jew as well, with many many Muslim friends. Well, I’m not entirely “atheist” as I am spiritual, just not religious. Keep up the great job in connecting us humans to one another 👍❤️
0:26 the soldier acted like he didn’t hear lol it’s an apartheid state 🙄 justice for shireen
@@theSalukie 🤦♂️you stupid? He didnt wanted you to film him cuz thats can make those arabs in israel to expose where he is and they can use it to harm them , you are just an stinky antisemitic liar
@@theSalukie lol dont tell people you are atheist in arab lands
Really fascinating watching somebody show real life in the places most don't get to see. Cutting out all stigmas and very informative. Keep up the good work ✌️
This is a great example that we can live together if we get over our prejudice. The guy in the coffee shop with the black shirt clearly didn't like the fact that he's Israeli at first and was staring at him, but after hearing that he doesn't hate Palestinians and has no problem with them then he realized it's just another human being like him. This is the problem that on both sides people demonize the other side without actually knowing regular people
God did not kill the original Jews
we truly need to give these wonderful, kind people the support to achieve statehood. its a crime their land has been occupied for 75 years with huge settlements being built in their cities on on their farm land, after the original act of dispossession made them refugees. They are just people, like us. They need a home to care for, that they actually own.
They were scared rather than prejudice. They thought these guys could be Shabak or undercover Police.
@@kromkindkaroo Or surveyors maybe
Except one side demonizes with gun and the other side is mistrustful because they’re family members are being murdered. Both conditions are a pathology but one comes from the imagination ans the other from lived experiences
That solider was very aggressive for no reason. And you can tell he's always that way with Palestinians cuz his friend was saying they're not Arabs they're Jews like being aggressive is only exclusive to Palestinians
As a previous soldier, you can't allow Israelis to enter 'A' areas. As you saw, the soldier pretty much gave him instructions on camera. The veteran soldier, while being more aggressive, is in charge as he's an officer - so if somebody knows that the other soldier was helping him enter A area they could be punished badly. Hence why they wanted the camera.
Imagine if something bad happened and that footage was found. I guess the officer was yelling at his soldier plentiful afterwards.
That being said, I can't deny the fact that Israeli soldiers have bias against Israeli citizens - I find it only logical. A Palestinian soldier would say the opposite thing.
@@dBO123 with all do respect .. I wouldn’t think that the Palestinian soldier will treat them the same way .. with all the tragedy they lived the people are still not discriminating Israelis .. they distinguish between a good and bad which unfortunately can’t say the same thing with Israelis soldier
@@TR42000 Well, I had a fair share of encounters with Palestinians. Some were nice, some were not. This is the nature of people. I've been called a dirty jew by a guy I just helped, and a dude came in to apologize right after. I can't be butthurt about it.
@@dBO123 yeah because Palestinian soldiers are saints and can't do anything wrong lmao... Like generally muslim society is much less tolerant in every way globally especially arab countries where clan society is key.
@@huntinginpoland2396 Says the false Jews Torah
You’re an amazing human who makes everyone feel comfortable. Thank youu
I found your channel yesterday. I subscribed immediately.
You are showing the world that Israeli and Palestinians share a lot in common and can get along.
I was impressed on other videos with the resentment and distrust but also with the willingness of many people to get along better. The two girls (one American) who practically ran away from you when you were looking for a disco show how much prejudice there is on both sides. The Christian Palestine at the bar who had lived at AUE and told you that no Israeli would go there almost scared, and finally the barber and his brother who knowing you are Jewish and having had their business closed many times by Israeli soldiers still offered you coffee and water show a side seldom seen. There is so much ignorance between Israelis and Palestines and you are closing the breach. We need more people like you!
You really should be a diplomat one day in the near future. We need more people like you in this world who can find the common humanity among all people.
Love your videos. Your experience with the Palestinian guys in the cafe was very genuine. By the way, what camera are you using?
Thank you, I appreciate it :) Dji Osmo Action and iPhone XS Max for b roll/zoomed it shots
Oh and in this video I also used Johnny’s iPhone 12
The person I spoke with at the café in the town of Hawara is some crazy thing because he went through a very difficult psychological state of his life, and I am from Houra himself. We welcome you all the time
Thank you!
Johnny’s sister’s hummus joint looks absolutely 🔥 . I like how salukie is holding the kid like “what do I do with this” hahaha
Never gonna happen in Islamic countries. If what you say happens, then Muslim countries would progress faster than non-Muslim countries. But that's not the case. 57 Muslim countries and they all rely on non-Muslim science and technology, inventions, discoveries, etc. No chance of progressive thought in Islamic countries, unless they declare themselves as "Secular Democracies".
I found her naturally very attractive too! Yummy with her hummus
The look on the kid's face was like Ido's in the Arab cafe 😂
Ido, take care man. Don't be reckless.
Thank you Ido for coming, you’re welcome anytime !
And we sure will make some more videos around the world one day ❤️❤️
Take care of yourself and keep making some great content
Thanks for being the videos man, much love ❤️
We'll definitely team up again for a few more sometime soon!

@theSalukie - Aren't you afraid for your safety when you enter the Palestinian areas?
You guys are what everyone should be like. No more hate!
I love you bro, you kept me up all night watching your stuff.
Love you too buddy

Great video man! Well done!
Thanks man, nice to hear it from you
This is a refreshing content. Thanks!
I would love to try that hummus one day. Keep the great videos coming. Much respect
Thank you! Sending love and respect
If you want humus, buy it from an Arab

Keep up the good work..... you show the real deal i get your message loud n clear ❤i admire your work very much ❤
thank you my friend
I really salute your courage to show that people are all the same. Hoping you can make it one day to my country, Syria and I can make it to yours, beautiful Israel
Thank you for posting, the "smoke" coming out of the ceiling in Tapuah was interesting too , I thought of water vapour to cool the air
Its pretty crazy how deep into the west bank that israeli settelement is. It is apparently noted for its concentration of followers of Meir Kahane who was convicted for terrorism and was a strong proponent of Israeli settelements
Thanks for your authenticity
Came here from Random Dave, glad I found you. Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing and welcome aboard mate
Great episode man
thanks mate
Your video is very refreshing🥤 keep spreading love✨💕
Thank you so much 🤗

palestinian that sat down with you .. he had you shook … you know exactly what he meant by “what’s your side”
It’s crazy how a lot of you guys look related, beautiful people of the levant.
Man! 😂 Things got pretty tense in that Cafe.
I love these videos.
Thanks Daniel
It's funny, the name of the cafe on "the way to Nablus" is literally "the way" (الطريق)
I love how johnny went from throwing rocks at arabs in yasuf and huwarra in his youth, to drinking coffee and eating cake with them 😂😂
Hi Salukie I hope you see this comment as I’m commenting on an old video. It would be really cool to see a video on what it’s like to immigrate to Israel and what kind of life to expect and to be aware of. A lot of us in the diaspora feel the home land calling and I think this would be great content today
That coffee shop looked amazing. If I could go out there I would try. Everyone in the video are Lovely people
That guy was a funny dude, he'd be great to work with, as always great video the humus looked amazing.
hi-nice video) greeting you from Slovakia
Greetings! thank you
I can't think of any other food in the world I would rather eat than the hummus at this place. Such wonderful people.
I really enjoy your videos and your positive attitude regarding interacting with Palestinians. It is just sad that there are so many forces (on both sides) that are standing in the way of peace.
Thank you 🙏
@@theSalukie peace to you achi. I wish i could do the same as you because i feel the same for it. But i don't know how to do it.
There isn’t so many force, just one force the occupation by Israel.
@@sadiagee1191 With all respect brother, anyone who reduces this conflict to one group, one side, one anything is not looking with 2 eyes, or simply fooling themselves.
@@come_explore_with_me_IL if ur seeing clearly u would know its not a conflict and its not a of equal magnitude. There is an aggressor and an oppressed.
the interaction with the shopkeepers is so sad, they know how hated they are by so many isrealis. just for being palestinian. when he says he doesn't hate them they immediately say welcome. man these people need a state
Another insight into a place most people will never get to visit. Bravo.
Thanks Dave, looking forward to our collaboration
@@theSalukie For sure mate. 👍
"will never get to visit" why's that? it's not exactly blocked to say the least.
@@ryderwilson7955 I said most people, most people will not be taking their vacations in a place like this.
@@RandomDave I personally am not so much into traveling so I wouldn't get the point of traveling to a country like this, or any other one for that matter, if I travel, then it would be only to eat food in different countries heh
6:35 It was great to see this man sit down and genuinely want to know about your views. "what's the story of your side". I wanted to hear your side as well.
5:45 Assuming there was actually an army vehicle, it's very sad that their main interactions with Israeli people are with the military.
1. I am truly neutral. I’m not just saying that for the videos. I don’t live in Israel for years now
2. There definitely was
@@theSalukie tbf tho while i understand why you answered why you did you probably could've told him the other side of the story and he'd listen and you could have a constructive conversation about it
Seemed like he was interrogating him. That was a precarious situation. Only by distancing himself from Israel/Judaism did he placate those guys. The guy in the black T-shirt in particular had such a look on his face.
@@tzvi7989 If he had detected any justification for the existence of Israel, there could have been trouble. Wise to distance yourself from Israel in that situation.
Johnny is the kind of guy you want to have as a travel buddy
And I was lucky enough to have him as one in Thailand a few years ago :)
I thought the coffee guys were going to confront you but you handled that very well!
they did confront him, but he didnt pose any threat, like zero in his behavior.. he tried to be nice, so they had no reason to be offended.
I started loving your videos now, although I am from southeast asia, I am very interested in middle east affairs, especially Israel and Palestine. Hope to visit one day.
I also have a series in Vietnam if you're interested in SEA. I love that part of the world, where are you from?
0:26 the soldier acted like he didn’t hear lol it’s an apartheid state 🙄 justice for shireen
@@moon-uh5kd No apartheid. Israelis don't want Palestinians to enter Israel, and they are right. Who wants a Terror?
You should try to get a druze on your channel to talk about their prospective on the whole Israel Palestine issue, as a druze who is watching this and learning new stuff every day since I’ve moved to Jerusalem I think it would be fun to watch
MUCH RESPECT TO YOU
Seeing his sister made me want to learn more about the different Israeli and Jewish styles of dress and head wrappings since they are so unique. Would you consider doing a documentary on that? 🙏🏻
Me too, I’m really interested - please make a video on this!
Be glad to know what is the name of the song in the beginning?
Thank you for being so neutral bro!
Hey Salukie .. i just found your channel .. you're welcome to visit Egypt anytime ..
Hey bro! Egypt is definitely on my bucket list :)
@@theSalukie what happened at 0:58 after you stopped filming and the soldier started walking tiwards you? Can you explain what happened behind the scenes?
Only religion is humanity and Allah exists in each and every heart of human
✌️
Such a wonderful person Johnny
Love him
Middle Eastern and Arab Muslims seem 100000x better, more polite, tolerant and calmer than "Converted" Asian ones though.
Hope these videos you make reduce the stereotypes about both sides. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
I hope so too! Muchas gracias
turkish coffee is not arabic, not sure why you keep saying this? if a brazilian chef makes chinese food, it doesn't change that it's origins are chinese!
Hello brother.I just discovered your vids!Its awesome.In one vid you sed you come from Romania,please explain.Im romanian and i love everybody around the globe.Peace.
Welcome to the channel bro!! My grandfather was born in Romania and immigrated to Israel, so I have a Romanian passport, but I'm not really Romanian. Merci
I always sad when think, people are just people. Whatever your side, everyone practically the same, live their lives.
But, on the other side, we human have always the tendency to hurt each other, for many different reason. Something that can actually can be avoided if people want to understand, coexist, share and respect each other.
I can feel this is something you want to build. And that's asome man.
Tell that to arab 1920 attacking jews
I look forward for the day we all have peace, Jews, Arabs, Christians and Atheists
We all do :)
Yes, let us all live in peace with no attacks on one another or telling each other our religion is right over the other.
You’ve got balls bro, they weren’t happy at the Coffee place as soon as you said you love both sides you de escalated the situation, you’re good at reading people and are very entertaining, I’m Sicilian from Italy it’s interesting to see how others live..Been binging on your vids Good stuff..
When you learn about the history of the Palestinian struggle and the subjugation of the Palestinian people, you'll have a different reaction to the "I love Israel" sentence
@@user-cc2zf5ht5w I don’t remember saying “I love Israel” anywhere, I don’t support wars because it’s the innocent and poor that pay the price while the wealthy and powerful make money and benefit from it, the only thing I can do is 🙏 for both sides, we need more people like Salukie who try and build bridges because he understands we are all human and how can you hate or want to kill someone you’ve never met? Anyways if your country is in war I am sad for you and will say a prayer for you, some of us in this world support only peace but if you choose to fight I understand that too only this is not my fight i can’t hate or love people I’ve never met..
@@user-cc2zf5ht5w I do understand that Palestinians have had a hard time nobody can deny this..
you have to consider many in the West Bank quite literally have immediate or extended family dead or imprisoned without trial because of military aggression, so of course they'll be stand-offish
@@humblecrabd6981 in hindsight I don’t know how they do it I could not be so civil with my enemy also at the start I thought Salukie was doing well but once again this guy is reckless he shouldn’t be doing this as these vids can get innocent people hurt and start more trouble than they’re worth..I’m sure he won’t be doing any vids like this in the future as it’s not worth it for everybody’s sake.
AAAAaaaaawwwwsome Video Clip.....Best Wishes. Keep Up the Good Work .......Cheers! from India.
Johny’s face at the end 😂
Bro, your videos make me wanna visit Palestine❤Great people, great food, great scenery👏👏 The Israeli soldiers are too uptight, they should relax a little bit, live and let live. Love from Canada. Cheers!!!!
U were supposed to say the humous was the best 😂
Haha yeah I felt bad afterwards Im just so used to being honest in my videos 😂
14:34 the look Jonny he gives him when he says “I can’t say it’s better than palestenian humous”😂😂. If looks can kill.
Interesting video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
“they’re not arabs, they’re jews” 😬
Yeah, what's the problem? Israeli jews dont often go to Nablus, so it looked odd to him that a Jewish intrested in visiting there, and if he 100% would've know that he is Israeli, he could've stopped him because it is illegal from safety and security reasons.
@@StanzArtz1 that's not the problem, the problem is that he was filming and that's when the soldier said ''they're jews not arabs'' meaning that it was okay for a jew to film but not for an arab.
besides the soldiers got really aggressive when they thought he was an arab.
@@amerladfor their propaganda many Palestinians go interact (or even clash) with soldiers and secretly film to get a reaction.
Once they learned he's Jewish, they wiped that possibility off the board.
He wasn't aggressive in the beginning, only when he realised his convo is getting recorded.
@@ipoopalottm5979 oh shut the nonsense up, that guy should’ve said he was arab to see the reaction the solders would’ve gave. They probably would took the camera out of his hands and searched them or some shit. But no he trusted him when he claimed he was a Jew and showed respect. It had nothing to do with fear it’s simply racism that these terrorists where giving.
@@yousefalshiekh4074completely natural to trust one of your own more. As if Palestinian cops don't trust Palestinians more...racism?
The word ‘tense ‘ is used so many times, makes me think a person living in their own land, what would make them tense ?! Having someone restricting your movement and eventually your life !! That would make anyone tense !
In regards to the lead-in commercial: If you see people smiling while working in an Amazon facility, you are seeing people who are high.
Salukie the soldier of freedom
✌️✌️
They probably thinking these random Israelis are Shabak/Shin Bet and had to sus you guys out. The power dynamic is so obvious.
"Why are you filming?" Very clever israeli soldier, G-d bless.
What does betselem means?
I can't believe that I would be watching an Israeli UA-cam but you are different You do not hate anyone it's refreshing. But still, we love Palestinian people
Love you both, hope their is more peace between Muslims and Jews again❤
Johnny's english is very good
man why do i think when both Palestinian & Israeli people actually talk to each other without any judgement, they can actually live in peace. the dude at coffee shop was guarded at first, knowing you were Israeli, but once you spoke like a normal person, he seemed more relaxed
07:12 You're neither half Arab nor half Kurdish though.
You're 1/2 Ashkenazi + 1/2 Mizrahi (probably Levite) = 100% Jew.
And so are most of the Palestinians - they are Arabized Jews not indigenous Arabs.
You should start here and ask them, where were the "Palestinians" and "Canaanites" when the Jews defended their land and fought the Romans:
ua-cam.com/video/p2obtCz2JuM/v-deo.html
Maybe Israelis should learn Arabic as first foreign language in school even before English.
well arabised jews and samaritans but the genetic analysis also shows that palestinians cluster closely with druze and one of the bedouin haplotypes as well. in reality tho we're all a big mix anyway regardless
especially families like the al-Kahen family
Just started watching your Channel a few days ago!! Thank you for showing this beautiful part of the world!
My family is from Mexico 🇲🇽 and love middle eastern food, culture and history. ❤
Much love and safe travels from Chicago Illinois!! ❤❤❤
I buy "Sabra" hummus, expensive ... but good and slightly crunchy
How do you seek for peace if you put the israeli flag next to the West Bank in the title?
where is johnny from?
He explained in the video 😉
@@theSalukie yesss i saw when i kept watching :)
I didn't understood the relation between the architecture construction guy and Johnny, I assume both of them are friends, but do they live with each other?

Great … at list u got the hummas right 👍
can anyone recommend other channels with people travelling places in a similar way?
Yeah I could

Hi
I am very impressed with the way you conduct things and your honesty.
I believe moslems Christians and Jews lived in harmony and peace before the creation of the state of Israel. There are ways and ways to live together. When Jews were massacred in Europe they fled to Palestine and were welcomed and protected by the Palestinians. But whoever created Zionism was a selfish individual who only thought of materialism. I am a Palestinian and I have lots of Jewish friends whom I adore because of the way they look at things when it comes to enjoy life rather than fight to please someone. The west did not serve anyone but their interest. In reality they want to get rid of the jews form Europe and they helped them migrate and create their state so they can live in it away from Europe.
I am a Palestinian living in both Jerusalem and Jordan where I ran a business.
Good luck my friend and keep up the goodwill
Go back to school. Jews were living in Israel before Muhamad was born
very not true, look up hebron massacre, jews were treated horribly in our homeland you are very uneducated.
Is Johnny Yemenite ?
I used to buy Israeli hummus in London all the time (yes I'm a traitor) and it saved me from British humus so I'm very thankful. I agree that its not quite the same than the traditional one but its still pretty good, I think there is some change in the ingredients and the texture is rougher but more watery at the same time. Its also possible that the Israeli one is made from canned or frozen hummus beans when the traditional one is made from re-hydrated dried beans. I dream one day of trying hummus made directly from fresh beans.
hummus is arab origin not israeli dude,
@@jamie05-xc3yr I know that but in the supermarket they only had hummus made in israel or made in UK.
You can make it yourself
Huh? 😂😂The best part 😂
Love the videos!
Thank you Nisha!
It's so good to see videos giving people a different perspective on the entire situation. Too many UA-camrs who cover Israeli try to wash the occupation away or simply deny it. Thank you so much for being honest and for doing what you are doing.
As an Arab I say steal my land but don’t steal my hummus😂😂😂.
Nice videos, greetings from Arad!
Arad, Romania or Arad, Israel? Thanks anyway ;)
Romania, and i want to go in the other Arad maybe we'll meet, next time in Romania, or Israel, I had an jewish grand mother in Bistrita, born in 1921
You are brave my brother please come to South Africa
I’ve lived in South Africa 5 years in my childhood, definitely want to visit!
It's way too sunny there. I would hate the weather. I like cooler weather, trees and at least sometimes rain. Like Europe or the northeastern US. This totally reminds me of Southern California.
I don’t like that weather either unless I’m at the beach
fast forward to now, it's kind of sad that the quiet streets of what looked peaceful here is now possibly destroyed.

What handsome Palestinian men in the coffee shop...
Marshallah!
Unfortunately, since both peoples do not get along, they get angry if you say that you are coming to the Palestinian side and my council never charges the army, they feel intimidated and, honestly, it is understandable, I hope one day there will be peace ✌️
0:20
1) How did it make you feel when the soldier told you "They're gonna think you're Arab or something" ? You responded by saying "Okay and what if I'm an Arab?"(in a pissed off kind of way), but after his response you changed "Arab" to "tourist". Did you feel threatened or uncomfortable in any way?
2) What is your impression of the checkpoints as an Israeli, do you think Palestinians would be treated different from an Israeli?
1) I think soldier #1 told soldier #2 that they are Jewish because they are not allowed to
Mistreat Jews while Palestinians on the other hand are treated as 2nd class citizens. For example I guarantee the camera/footage would have been confiscated if they were Palestinians.
2) obviously sir, Palestinians are living under apartheid. Checkpoints should be illegal.
@@politicomans3123they're obviously allowed to mistreat jews if they're a suspect of a crime
Since Palestinian leaders have called to kill any Israeli civilian, all Palestinians who enter the checkpoints are suspects.
Should also answer on point 2 on why they installed the checkpoints after arafat's set of trend to stab & bomb civilians.
@@ipoopalottm5979 nice propaganda.. Israelis discriminate against palaetaians on a daily basis. One is a military superpower the other has rocks. It doesn’t matter what any idiot leader claims if it’s a mismatch. Israel is still
Committing crimes against humanity.
@@politicomans3123nice propaganda... See? I can avoid what you're saying the same way, are you gonna reply or ignore essential points.
Btw rocks, stabbing, shootings and explosions,... or from civilians, missiles from hamas. I think you've the wrong picture of what Palestinians are capable of and actively doing
@@politicomans3123also ofc it does matter, the day after such calls for civilian attacks, many Israelis get killed. Checkpoints minimise that.
You don’t find the license plate thing kind of weird. Definitely interesting
I do, that’s why I pointed it out
@@theSalukie I’m American and Im not a fan of Israel because I have my own opinions, for treating people with respect and not fanning the flame, I appreciate that and would buy you lunch or a drink if we ever cross paths. Best of luck in your travels.
@@ashfifidontcare4064 It's weird in America how different states have different licence plates. Kind of apartheid. But then America is a European colonialist entity with a history of segregation, so...
