This isn't the first time I've needed to mention Safed in a video, and please believe that I have tried several times to figure out a way to talk about it that doesn't draw criticism from someone. However, I've tried a few different approaches, but no matter what I say, I seem to get angry comments about it. I'm really just trying to acknowledge the disagreement that exists. I assure you that there are people who are willing to argue with you about this - I'm just not one of them.
@josemonkey the only approach is the truth. Safed is a city in the UN recognized country of Israel. Many people would want Israel to not exist, and well... okay. But the fact of the matter is that Israel does exist, is a member of the UN, and Safed is a city in it. By giving up facts in order to avoid some trolls on the internet, you're perpetuating a post-truth environment where yelling the loudest makes you right. Which it doesn't. I mean some people think the US should not exist. Never seen you stipulate your findings in that country.
Safed is in an area that is indisputably Israel. There's a lot of territory that Israel controls illegitimately - Gaza, Golan, West Bank.... This is one of the few places that is not disputable
@@BoredSquirell Not few. Most of Israel is undisputed. The only disputed areas are those you mentioned. Although even with the west bank, Israel doesn't exactly control it but has an agreement with the PA regarding those areas (Oslo accords).
YES! a new country! I love it when you can cross another off the list! 57/197(ish) ain’t bad!
Looks like that old square sailed boat was in the picture too.
Nice job & congrats on the new country 👍🏻
Cheers🍺🍺
You keep adding to your list of new countries... perhaps you should do another International Week to add more countries to your list.
like many, I''m still waiting for my video 🙂 but I think it wouldn't be a new country, just uncommon so far
It is not disputed in any way. Safed is a part of the sovereign nation of Israel, who is a UN member.

That list isn’t going to fit on the screen soon 😜
@josemonkey how many more countries before you conquer the world 🌎
I noticed the lack of registration sticker and number on the hull towards the bow which says not in US. 🚤⛵️🛥️
