according to the bible the most high says in revelation 2/9 I know your works tribulation and poverty but you are rich and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are jews and are not but are a synagogue of satan
Wait until I have an opinion about you....So far my life of more then half a century ...... I have to think 🤔 to compliment anyone -- means......I have not remembered anyone yet.
You're going to find pay toilets all over Europe. It isn't only Israel. On the best boulevards in Paris there are pay toilets. It doesn't cost much and you have are given a cubicle that has just been freshly (and automatically) washed.
@@bayvlogs8945 Yes, but people are telling you paying for toilets are common in Europe. it is not unique to Israel. One should find a cafe or somewhere in Israel to go the bathroom. In Manhattan, there is no fee but it's hard to find a toilet. Cafe, many Starbucks, markets do not allow customers to use the bathroom. It never returned to normal post-COVID.
bargaining is restricted to bazaars and open street markets. Same goes for any other country on the Mediterranean including Spain, Greece and Italy. same goes for street markets in southern France. do not expect to be able to bargain in a mall for instance. that won't happen. not even in Jordan.
We also just got back and affirm all you've said. Making sure you have a good tour guide and good accommodations can make all the difference in your trip.
I had to pay the used bathroom in Chicago years ago. I'm talking like, 35 years ago. Don't know if it's still like that, haven't been back since.And when I was in Jamaica they had men standing around with a big gun strapped on. We are going to Israel in November, can't wait.
After my son and I finish our move and get settled, we will be saving for him to take me to Yisrael. He has been there on tour with our Rabbi a few years ago and wants to take me on that same tour. I already enjoy flat bread with hummus and falafels. I already understand that there are a lot of vegans there, so most places have foods for that. Most of the food I eat is spicy anyway. It is a good thing I like water. After my morning coffee, that is all I drink for the rest of the day. I also already dress modestly so that won't be a problem for me and I cover my hair by wearing a wrap. The problem for me is needing to use a bathroom before I can get any shekels. I have incontinence problems and am always rushing to a bathroom. Maybe need to use the bathroom before departing the plane and hope for the best. Hmmm.... I may need to carry lots of shekels. It may take a couple of years to save up, but I will eventually make it there. If the heat is a dry heat, I will love it. I miss the dry heat I grew up with in the Sacramento valley of California. So I know the need for hydration.
You do get a passport sticker, a big one, if you go there for work. It covers a full page of the passport. And the countries banning visitors to Israel are only Israel's enemies, like Iran etc. European countries don't ban travelers to Israel.
Towards the middle of the video, you probably meant 'to bargain', not 'to barter'. It's common practice to bargain over prices of goods (to haggle, to negotiate) in small privately-owned stores in Israel, but not in department stores and apparel chains in malls, and certainly not in grocery stores or supermarkets over the price of groceries. In English, the verb "to barter" does not have the same meaning as "to negotiate," "to argue," or "to haggle." "Barter" refers to a specific type of economic exchange where goods or services are exchanged directly without the use of money. It involves trading one item for another without the involvement of currency. For example, if someone trades a cow for a bag of rice with another person, that would be considered a barter exchange. In a barter system, both parties involved in the exchange have something the other party wants, and they negotiate and agree on the terms of the trade. In short, there's absolutely no ‘bartering’ in any Israeli stores or market place, so maybe you should insert am erratum in your video. Thanks.
Always do research before you go to a country. Some people who not in the IDF carry guns because they have a right to protect their country. When I was in Israel I didn't have to pay to use the washroom. Also in the IDF when people get out of high school the guys have mandatory 3 year service and the girls have two year service.. Some places you barter. I never had to. My niece went to two Arab countries before Israel. She was on a multi country tour. When she got to Israel they gave her a hard time. If you want to go to Israel go to a country that accepts Israel first. i wear support socks when I fly. They also inflight movies, etc. Greetings from Canada. I have been to Israel three times.
Well they do the same in Houston,Tx: I remember going to a burger King on Holcomb Street near the MD Anderson Hospital we ordered something to eat and before leaving we went to use the restroom but we couldn't enter unless we put 50 cents in the door slot machine in order for the restroom door to open!..🤯 we we're so shocked.. 😲 with disbelief
In America you absolutely DO see armed men and women... the police. Also, for those of us who live in Military areas (think anywhere we have military bases) it is quite common to see.
So East Jerusalem is under a military occupation, and next door, like in Bethlehem, there’s an apartheid system with segregated roads, checkpoints, two different legal systems (one military legal system and one the regular system). Under the military system children imprisoned without trial…etc. Half the residents in East Jerusalem have no right to citizenship and to vote even though their presence there is even before the state was created, and the presence of the military there is to police those who are supposed to be living under the apartheid.
Having traveled to Israel several times I was surprised to hear about pay toilets. I never had that experience. I'm curious about where you had to pay for toilets.
Hello! Traveling with my 7 year old and I know her so well that I already know she will be asking for restrooms a lot, are there a lot of accessible bathrooms? I heard there wasn’t many
I have been to Israel several times but not recently; I never experienced pay toilets. When I first went to Israel, I encountered Israelis who did not understand English and I had to go to the toilet. I had heard the word "sherutim" (services) but I did not know it in the context of toilet. I thought they were sending me to the shared taxis. In Egypt, there were bathroom attendants who expected a small tip.
Glad you enjoyed your trip, I’ve been there a few times also, going back again in 2021 (was intending to go this year, but that won’t be happening due to COVID). In relation to your point on the passport stamp, the are no European countries which will bar entry based on a trip to Israel. The countries which you will face problems are all Islamic majority (not all these countries bar entry, but many of them). Also, It’s not a hard and fast rule, would depend on the person checking your passport.
Like your delivery it was your honest comments on what you experienced. For a first venture abroad it must have been quite some trip. No doubt everybody has latched onto your paying for the rest room bit which is most rare but no doubt for warned is for armed. Yes, Israel is a special place to visit especially the holy city of Jerusalem contrasting with the open one that is Tel Aviv - which is a truly fun place. Yes, it is a country in a troubled neighbourhood but nonetheless it is welcoming to all and a glorious destination
Interesting story about paying to use the bathroom. I converted US dollar to Euros for a trip to Italy. You do not get coins. Off the plane and straight to the coin operated bathroom…it required euro coins! And no machine to convert bills to coins.
Thank you for the video. Out of all the videos I've been watching recently, I found yours the most informative. 😃 I will be in Isreal in November so I'm glad I found you. I did notice you didn't recommend getting a converter. Do you think I should take one? I got the adapter for my phone just not sure about the converter because they can be a little expensive.
Hey! I'm glad you found my video so helpful, I wanted to make sure it wasn't just general information that you could find anywhere! I don't think a converter is necessary as long as you have an adaptor for the wall outlets. I would just plug my normal charger into the adaptor and everything worked fine. I also used this in small villages, in Palestine and truly all over so it should be enough!
Thank you for sharing those information..We visited Jordan, the next day we didn't get to visit Isreal b'cos of covid-19..Hope things get better,so my grp can visit Isreal..thank you again.God bless
@@bayvlogs8945 I found yours the best as well : unfortunately : i have arranged and decided everything already before seeing your video : but still this video makes me feel safe : so i can enjoy this trip more........You did not explain about how and where to buy day- pass (ticket) public transportation...
@@keepcreationprocess glad to hear that! To my knowledge there wasn’t public transportation- if there was more likely a simple bus system or taxis. I didn’t use public transportation so not able to recommend anything
How about exchanging money at a bank? It is known that airports and hotels would be worse rate. There are specialized Exchange stores in certain malls in USA that is based on the international market so you don't get ripped-off. It's god to have a little cash on you since you will need something for transportation from the airport to hotel. I don't mean to sound harsh, but you really need to do reading and prepare beforehand, and not wait until you arrive at a foreign country to learn about these things. I hear now you have not travelled abroad previously. Bargaining is not arguing. Bargaining is common at flea markets in the USA.
I’m sure you saw my comment on your earlier post but again it is extremely weird to comment such rude things to someone you don’t know on the Internet from a video from years ago. I did lots of research before I came, but these were things that I’m sharing with people who did not come to Israel for their own learning purposes. If you don’t have anything nice to say, there is no reason to say it.
or the shawls, can they be thin/see through ones to help with the hot weather? or do they have to be thicker so that you can see through it? also should you exchange all of your money? if so whats the best place to exchange your money? or is it okay to just use your debit/credit card everywhere?
As for the shawls they needed to be thicker, not see-through. Doesn’t need to be a blanket or anything intense but definitely as modest as possible. I didn’t exchange all of my money but I did most of it and just kept going along the way. To my knowledge you can’t use credit cards or American cards there. If you can you want to confirm with your bank. I was exchanging money at exchange post, they’re all around the city!
Usually you can use foreign credit cards (not sure about American ones but my German one worked just fine) for changing money I would recommend to go to an Israeli post office they accept Euros and US-Dollars and offer you much better rates then private places, which are mostly rip offs. You can find a post office near Jaffa gate in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Nothing makes me feel like I'm in Israel more than getting on the light rail in Jerusalem and looking around to see 7 people with massive guns, someone else with a pistol, and a double stroller all in the same train car.
Yes because there’s an apartheid system there and the army is to enforce the system on the residents of East Jerusalem, and the rest of the West Bank. I hope you know that east Jerusalem’s residents have no right to vote and no right to citizenship and face a different legal system. They have to carry a different ID and don’t have the same rights. The armed citizens you see there are called settlers. Under international law their presence there is illegal. They live on land that was unjustly confiscated from their owners, so they are frequent targets of angry resentful people who are also subjugated to an apartheid. Hence the states provides them with arms and military training to be able protect themselves and leaves a heavy military presence.
You do know that people who live in East Jerusalem have the right citizenship at any point if they so choose, right? Most of them choose not to, but that doesn't mean they aren't given the choice to get citizenship and vote in elections and be subject to the normal legal system if they want to. The west bank isn't actually part of Israel, because Israel hasn't annexed it. Just because there are Israeli citizens who live there, and Israeli soldiers who police it, doesn't mean that it's part of Israel. If they aren't living in Israel, why would they be granted Israeli citizenship?
The presence of IDF in East Jerusalem is because the area is under a military occupations and there’s also an apartheid system imposed on the resident, which you will be able to see when you cross to the West Bank. Segregated roads, checkpoints etc. That’s why the country is under constant threat and soldiers are present everywhere. Under the apartheid system, you have two different legal systems: one operates using the military court and the other is the normal court. Under the military legal system, children are imprisoned without trial and even tortured.
I went with a policy advocacy group so our itinerary was very different from most. We had periods of free time but most of our day was very structured. But that’s not the same experience for everyone
I don’t know too much about those options, but I found it was best at a local exchange market once you’re in the area. The hotel and other places charge
Best way is to get a Capital One checking account and debit card and use atms to withdraw money. You get the best exchange rate and Capital One does not charge foreign transaction fees.
an ad popped up on youtube for a free trip there and i just turned 21 and im really enjoying discovering myself and exploring life and now i really want to start doing more traveling should i trust this free trip ad thing? or how should go about this it might be my very first time traveling alone i may bring my friend not sure . any tips would be appriciated
I would definitely not trust that free trip ad… Lol… Go to the classic way and just look up inexpensive flights to Israel and places to stay. It’s a fabulous country to travel in and I think you’ll really enjoy it!
@@bayvlogs8945 Yeah well my mom told me that the money i was gonna try and use to travel there with has been the money for my rent and grogeries. so i guess i gotta wait awhile til i can get a new job and save up. i really wanted to start traveling cause i wanted to explore more of the world.
Do you have any notes about Palestine? I want to meet the Palestinians. Are there Palestinians in the Israeli lands you visited, or are they considered occupied territories, or were the Palestinian pushed into the confined areas, such as west bank, or Gaza Strip I have heard about? I was in Jerusalem once, when I was a kid, and I heard it was more free to roam, but I heard ever since Israel and Trump tried to push Jerusalem as a part of Israel, it’s not easy to travel to Jerusalem now, what’s the deal with that?
YOUR VIDEO WAS GREAT AND HELPFUL. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BE DIPLOMATIC OR REALLY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE REASON THAT ISRAEL DOEN NOT STAMP PASPORTS. IT IS BECAUSE THE ARAB COUNTRIES DO NOT ACCEPT THE EXISTANCE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND THEY WANT TO PUNISH ISRAEL IN ANY WAT THEY CAN. EVEN IF THE INNOCENT TOURIST IS JUST GOING TO VISIT AND IS NOT AN ISRAELI CITIZEN.
I have only viewed 7 minutes, but it is clear to me that you did not read about the Israel beforehand. Buy Frommer's guide books. It's worth reading print rather than thinking you get everything online. It is well-known that the Jewish and Muslim holy sites require modest dress to various degrees depending on the religion and sect. Even in America, one is not supposed to dress in short skirts, sleeveless, sandals in a synagogue, although these days codes of dress re not enforced. It is a sign of RESPECT for G-d. It is also a known fact that Israeli military personnel (men and women) are very present an-in society and wear weapons. Israel has been forced upon via missiles, rockets, etc. since it's democratic estb in 1948. The presence of the military is why people and tourists feel safe. I see your tape is 4 yrs ago, so now it will increase b.c. of oct. 7th. Paying for bathrooms is annoying from an American perspective, but it is common in some countries in EUROPE, like Italy and France.
@@MONIKKA5389 that’s something you’ll probably want to do your own research on, I’m sure things are different now with the ongoing pandemic and other foreign influences. I believe I needed paperwork for my passport and potentially a few other things but I went with a political group so they handled most of it
With respect, there is a lot of inaccurate information here. Your trip was very short, so I do understand that you could not get to know our complicated country in so few days. Possibly you were not aware that Israel is not a Western country. We are in the Asian part of the Middle East. We are prosperous and technologically advanced. That doesn't make us Western. But rather that criticize, let me just say that no one can characterize any country after only a few day's visit. Not speaking Hebrew or Arabic doesn't help. Or knowing at least a little accurate history. So maybe travel by staying for maybe two months. See fewer places, but get a more accurate and in depth picture. Too many vlogs with misinformation about not only Israel, but many countries. Break out of the pack! Israel was not really even presented here. Only rushed quick-trip pass through. If you return to Israel you will probably revise almost everything your said. I mean no personal offense whatsoever. Israel is my home. Haifa. I would love to see better vlogging all around. In a two month's stay, you will just begin to get a small sense of this quite varied country. שלום ! Shalom
This is an innocent Vlog meant to characterize a few days of a trip for those planning a visit, not acting as an expert opinion. I don’t appreciate you trying to assume anything about my experience or saying that my experience is invalid because I wasn’t able to stay for multiple months. Never did I say I was an expert on this and you’re pressed for no reason. If my videos are an issue, you don’t need to watch them.
@@bayvlogs8945 You missed my point entirely. I will assume that I simply did not get across my good intentions with my level of English. My watching, or not watching, a video addressing my country, my home, is not the point. Very short trips which misrepresent Israel, or any other country, on UA-cam are public matters. I should hope you would at least attempt a small rethink of the matter. People who spend serious time abroad almost always radically revise their early impressions. I apologize if you have been offended by a public critique of a public video. May I be allowed a small bit of discomfort when my country is misrepresented? I have no other home. Hopefully, you will consider the opposite tack and consider longer stays abroad, including in Israel. Again I regret my inability to use your language effectively. I was addressing the vlog. Never assumed or suggested that you claimed expertise. Accuracy still counts. שלום Shalom
@@davidsiegel9847 שלום? Geez, that's a very patronizing ending to a patronizing article.

You are sooooo adorable :-) Oh, and thanks for the travel tips.
Very useful video, going there soon
or the shawls, can they be thin/see through ones to help with the hot weather? or do they have to be thicker so that you can see through it? also should you exchange all of your money? if so whats the best place to exchange your money? or is it okay to just use your debit/credit card everywhere?
As for the shawls they needed to be thicker, not see-through. Doesn’t need to be a blanket or anything intense but definitely as modest as possible. I didn’t exchange all of my money but I did most of it and just kept going along the way. To my knowledge you can’t use credit cards or American cards there. If you can you want to confirm with your bank. I was exchanging money at exchange post, they’re all around the city!
Usually you can use foreign credit cards (not sure about American ones but my German one worked just fine) for changing money I would recommend to go to an Israeli post office they accept Euros and US-Dollars and offer you much better rates then private places, which are mostly rip offs. You can find a post office near Jaffa gate in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Thank you, i'm going to Israel in 3 weeks :)
Do you know the number of the charger you bought for the rooms?
Have a great time! No I don’t, I just looked up the type of chargers used in Israel and bought on Amazon!
@@bayvlogs8945 thank you 😊
Nothing makes me feel like I'm in Israel more than getting on the light rail in Jerusalem and looking around to see 7 people with massive guns, someone else with a pistol, and a double stroller all in the same train car.
Yes because there’s an apartheid system there and the army is to enforce the system on the residents of East Jerusalem, and the rest of the West Bank. I hope you know that east Jerusalem’s residents have no right to vote and no right to citizenship and face a different legal system. They have to carry a different ID and don’t have the same rights.
The armed citizens you see there are called settlers. Under international law their presence there is illegal. They live on land that was unjustly confiscated from their owners, so they are frequent targets of angry resentful people who are also subjugated to an apartheid. Hence the states provides them with arms and military training to be able protect themselves and leaves a heavy military presence.
You do know that people who live in East Jerusalem have the right citizenship at any point if they so choose, right? Most of them choose not to, but that doesn't mean they aren't given the choice to get citizenship and vote in elections and be subject to the normal legal system if they want to.
The west bank isn't actually part of Israel, because Israel hasn't annexed it. Just because there are Israeli citizens who live there, and Israeli soldiers who police it, doesn't mean that it's part of Israel. If they aren't living in Israel, why would they be granted Israeli citizenship?
Can you tell little about the security questions while exiting the county ?
Don’t remember much but from what I do it was a lot of “ what did you do while you were here, where did you stay, did you go to XXX places”
Are u going back it safer to go with someone that has been there god bless you
Yes went with an advocacy group so I had a guide!
The presence of IDF in East Jerusalem is because the area is under a military occupations and there’s also an apartheid system imposed on the resident, which you will be able to see when you cross to the West Bank. Segregated roads, checkpoints etc. That’s why the country is under constant threat and soldiers are present everywhere. Under the apartheid system, you have two different legal systems: one operates using the military court and the other is the normal court. Under the military legal system, children are imprisoned without trial and even tortured.
Thanks!!!
Thank you very much 😅
Will be visiting Israel next April.
Thank you
Great video I leave end of July for my trip. I hear how packed the itinerary is, but how much free time is there?
I went with a policy advocacy group so our itinerary was very different from most. We had periods of free time but most of our day was very structured. But that’s not the same experience for everyone
Would you recommend exchanging the money at the airports in USA or buying it online from Travalex?
I don’t know too much about those options, but I found it was best at a local exchange market once you’re in the area. The hotel and other places charge
Best way is to get a Capital One checking account and debit card and use atms to withdraw money. You get the best exchange rate and Capital One does not charge foreign transaction fees.
Great video! Thank you
Hehe, the Mecca for Islam is actually 'Mecca'. Love the video though, great guidance, thank you.
I am sajjad Ali from Pakistan how I visit Israel 🇮🇱
an ad popped up on youtube for a free trip there and i just turned 21 and im really enjoying discovering myself and exploring life and now i really want to start doing more traveling should i trust this free trip ad thing? or how should go about this it might be my very first time traveling alone i may bring my friend not sure . any tips would be appriciated
I would definitely not trust that free trip ad… Lol… Go to the classic way and just look up inexpensive flights to Israel and places to stay. It’s a fabulous country to travel in and I think you’ll really enjoy it!
@@bayvlogs8945 Yeah well my mom told me that the money i was gonna try and use to travel there with has been the money for my rent and grogeries. so i guess i gotta wait awhile til i can get a new job and save up. i really wanted to start traveling cause i wanted to explore more of the world.
Thanks for sharing
Do you have any notes about Palestine? I want to meet the Palestinians. Are there Palestinians in the Israeli lands you visited, or are they considered occupied territories, or were the Palestinian pushed into the confined areas, such as west bank, or Gaza Strip I have heard about? I was in Jerusalem once, when I was a kid, and I heard it was more free to roam, but I heard ever since Israel and Trump tried to push Jerusalem as a part of Israel, it’s not easy to travel to Jerusalem now, what’s the deal with that?
Might be better to talk to the students at universities in the US cause going into Gazan areas is not the usual.
Can someone use tourist visa get a job please advise me please
Nicely done.
Woah all the way to your ankles? What about calf length?
Shekinah 46 Some places won’t allow it but for the most part as long as you have your shoulders and 3/4 of your legs covered it’s not a problem
Bay vlogs I see, thank you
1:28 Israel is the Mecca of these religions.
Actually, i'm pretty sure Mecca is the Mecca of Islam.
In did but also for the judes. We believe that one day this is holy place and the beit hamkdash will built there
I think that we should live together Muslim and jew in peace and love
Ramadan carim
let'm have mecca Jesus lived in Israel! Jews and Christians pre-date Islam by hundreds of years.
YOUR VIDEO WAS GREAT AND HELPFUL. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BE DIPLOMATIC OR REALLY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE REASON THAT ISRAEL DOEN NOT STAMP PASPORTS. IT IS BECAUSE THE ARAB COUNTRIES DO NOT ACCEPT THE EXISTANCE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND THEY WANT TO PUNISH ISRAEL IN ANY WAT THEY CAN. EVEN IF THE INNOCENT TOURIST IS JUST GOING TO VISIT AND IS NOT AN ISRAELI CITIZEN.
What tour group did you go with?!
I was invited with a political advocacy group
I have only viewed 7 minutes, but it is clear to me that you did not read about the Israel beforehand. Buy Frommer's guide books. It's worth reading print rather than thinking you get everything online. It is well-known that the Jewish and Muslim holy sites require modest dress to various degrees depending on the religion and sect. Even in America, one is not supposed to dress in short skirts, sleeveless, sandals in a synagogue, although these days codes of dress re not enforced. It is a sign of RESPECT for G-d. It is also a known fact that Israeli military personnel (men and women) are very present an-in society and wear weapons. Israel has been forced upon via missiles, rockets, etc. since it's democratic estb in 1948. The presence of the military is why people and tourists feel safe. I see your tape is 4 yrs ago, so now it will increase b.c. of oct. 7th. Paying for bathrooms is annoying from an American perspective, but it is common in some countries in EUROPE, like Italy and France.
Very weird of you to comment such rude things on a video from so long ago. Take your negativity elsewhere.
Here's a tip for you please remake this video and speak louder I can barely hear you and I've got my volume turned all the way up
I like the Canadians and Québécois and Mexican people were nice. Yes Judaism and Islam are very conservative areas. It’s not NYC!!
Afraid stop in Germany
Mon plus grande cest daller a israël
Hi
2 shekels is closer to 60 cents. overall good video!
Ah gotcha- thanks!!
Beautiful you
Guns are not big deal love seeing people with their guns. a lot countries you have to paid for use the bathroom that's why America is a great country
Amen!
@@bayvlogs8945 I'm planning going to Israel what paper work i need? just my american passport?
@@MONIKKA5389 that’s something you’ll probably want to do your own research on, I’m sure things are different now with the ongoing pandemic and other foreign influences. I believe I needed paperwork for my passport and potentially a few other things but I went with a political group so they handled most of it
@@bayvlogs8945Thank you
Rest rooms in Israel are free
Go 🏡
This was posted years ago you’re weird
With respect, there is a lot of inaccurate information here. Your trip was very short, so I do understand that you could not get to know our complicated country in so few days.
Possibly you were not aware that Israel is not a Western country. We are in the Asian part of the Middle East. We are prosperous and technologically advanced. That doesn't make us Western.
But rather that criticize, let me just say that no one can characterize any country after only a few day's visit. Not speaking Hebrew or Arabic doesn't help. Or knowing at least a little accurate history.
So maybe travel by staying for maybe two months. See fewer places, but get a more accurate and in depth picture.
Too many vlogs with misinformation about not only Israel, but many countries.
Break out of the pack! Israel was not really even presented here. Only rushed quick-trip pass through. If you return to Israel you will probably revise almost everything your said.
I mean no personal offense whatsoever. Israel is my home. Haifa. I would love to see better vlogging all around. In a two month's stay, you will just begin to get a small sense of this quite varied country.
שלום ! Shalom
This is an innocent Vlog meant to characterize a few days of a trip for those planning a visit, not acting as an expert opinion. I don’t appreciate you trying to assume anything about my experience or saying that my experience is invalid because I wasn’t able to stay for multiple months. Never did I say I was an expert on this and you’re pressed for no reason. If my videos are an issue, you don’t need to watch them.
@@bayvlogs8945
You missed my point entirely. I will assume that I simply did not get across my good intentions with my level of English.
My watching, or not watching, a video addressing my country, my home, is not the point. Very short trips which misrepresent Israel, or any other country, on UA-cam are public matters. I should hope you would at least attempt a small rethink of the matter. People who spend serious time abroad almost always radically revise their early impressions.
I apologize if you have been offended by a public critique of a public video. May I be allowed a small bit of discomfort when my country is misrepresented? I have no other home. Hopefully, you will consider the opposite tack and consider longer stays abroad, including in Israel. Again I regret my inability to use your language effectively. I was addressing the vlog. Never assumed or suggested that you claimed expertise. Accuracy still counts.
שלום Shalom

Geez, that's a very patronizing ending to a patronizing article.
She can add the length of her stay, and areas she stayed at, to limit those thinking she lives 20 years in Israel.
I don't imagine such article-writing from an Adar\Masada\downtown resident.
That's too much jumping on a guest.
@@manubishe - maybe next time , if the young lady so wishes , she can tell us all the joys of making aliyah !!!

That , along with previous texts, sounds Evangelical to boot.
Go away until you come with honesty.

Nice, more people going to steal more land 🤣🤣
That makes 0 sense
Mehdi....ISRAEL is JEWISH property COZ HaShem said so. Period.
@@samsilverman824 lol he said actual Jews don’t have a country. Good try though Zio, love how you east Europeans think you’re middle eastern. 🤣🤣
@@tergoum Read my lips: ISRAEL belongs to the Jewish people COZ HaShem said so. Period. Not that it matters but even your Quran agrees that ISRAEL is indeed Jewish property. It says that. "From the river unto the SEA....ISRAEL will always BE!" Chump. GO TRUMP!
@@samsilverman824 ass clown zionist propaganda. Thought maybe Uganda and Patagonia were promised as well no? Imagine lying about tracing your heritage to 3500 years ago. Just say it, we want to steal land!!! The world isn’t falling for the victim drama anymore, they know the lies the East Europeans are selling in the Middle East. 🤣🤣
