While there are many misconceptions about Israel and her inhabitants, five common stereotypes center around Israeli culture, religiosity and politics.
In a country with a richly diverse population including Jews from all over the world, Arabs, Christians, Baha’is, and Druze, among others, Israel may be guilty of more than a few cliches... but maybe not the ones most would assume.

I know what is not an stereotype: You murdering children and babies! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Background music is annoying and high
Tantura documentary shows us a lot bout what Israel is..
There is no Israeli falafel. It’s stolen from the Palestinian culture. Overall this video is just a lousy Zionist propaganda 😂😂😂😂
You’ve proven to have no credibility so no, I’m good thanks. Enjoy your further indoctrination, children. La-Land must be nice ☺️
I'm Israeli and unfortunately Israelis being rude is 100% accurate.. The fact that there are some friendly people doesn't mean that either locals or foreigners don't experience extremely rude and unpleasant people on a daily basis. In my experience way more than most countries I've been in
Even my Hebrew teacher was very rude.
Just be rude back :D
Kindness doesn’t always come with good manners
Yeah they missed the mark with this video. Being nice and rude can go hand in hand. These videos are useless.
IMO they just have the strongest accent ever
Let me just mention though that once you have visited Israel you shall you will easily realize that these are simply unfounded misconceptions.
Good that you got ridd of the picture with that terrorist as a thumbnail
Let it be known to all:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins!
I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 13:26-33 KJV
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.*
27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.*
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.*
30 *But God raised him from the dead:*
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,*
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
1 Peter 3:22 KJV
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mark 16:16 KJV
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 8:24 KJV
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
No, plenty of people visit and leave with the realization they're shithead racists over there.
Quickly see the sickening racism
Most Israelis are Sephardic Jews from the middle east.
I'm an African American Orthodox Jew,who has lived in Israel for more than 20 years.I first came to Israel for a One Year study program at Hebrew University in 1979-80.
I would never have left,but I had responsibilities in the States,and could not returned until 2006.I have been here ever since,and pray I never have to leave again.

I spent my 84 birthday in Israel last year. I’ve used to travel, and visited several countries but never felt so safe and well serviced as in Israel. I’m not Jew. Thanks to all the people that helped me.
What about christen palestine n musilm
Israel is filled with amazing Jewish people, but it is also an apartheid, racist state that will treat you according to your race. What you are writing is dishonest propaganda. Can't fool me sorry.
@@sweez_playz7625 Thanks for writing this. They are not treated in a humane way
@@sweez_playz7625 What do they have do to with this?
@@sweez_playz7625 These people are invisible in israel or/and persecuted
Rude? American politeness doesn't mean much. We know "let's do lunch" just means "see ya whenever". But when an Israeli invites you for Shabbat, it means you can ask to come for the whole 25 hours, with meals and a bed. Watch a woman with a baby in a stroller getting on the bus--some stranger will jump in to help. Rather have rude!
"Techies in sandals, soldiers at checkpoints, and men with long sideburns and beards buried in holy books" sounds like it could apply to India as well as Israel 😳😅
The greatest misconception that I had about Israelis is that most of them are religious! Percentage wise Israel is a very secular society! They party like Americans do!
And that is exactly what is going to lead to a split. Israel still very much has a religious population (in particular Orthodox and Haredim) who differ ideological and by lifestyle/culture so much from their secular counterparts that they have begun to despise one another immensely. I would honestly propose 3 countries in that land. The three countries will be Israel, Palestine, and Judea. Israel will be the Israel most of us know as being pro western and full of secular non religious Jews. Palestine will maybe begin to have full autonomy and may remain peaceful (except Gaza). And for the interesting one, Judea. Judea will be primarily controlled by the Rabbis. It will be a Halachic state that forms it’s ideas around Torah and Talmud. Datum and Haredim will make up the wide majority with around 80-90% of the population. To ensure the threat of Iran is contained, Israel and Judea would sign a military pact to ensure that they would have their militaries work together to fight any threat.

Israel is the second most Atheist country in the world.
@@MrJoebrooklyn1969 Nope. They definitely have a large atheist secular population though. They actually have 61% atheists while countries like China, UK, and Canada rank higher percentage. You are wrong period
+ The religious Jews in Israel are the fastest growing population in Israel and are quickly overtaking the seculars.
@Moi Suomi nope, Sweden has 67%. China is hard to count because it's a totalitarian country so no one will say how they really feel and UK does not have more than 61%, you're nuts. 39% of British are Atheists. Don't confuse people who say they have no religion to Atheists.
Depressed, complainers, doomsday promoters, money grubbing, belief that they are the only people who matter and land is only for them as opposed to other countries where land is for its citizens....no one needs "tell it like it is" if not going to be constructive. Not a very flattering video
You’re not a very flattering person..
Yes, so true! I visited Jerusalem in 2017 and was struck by the sheer diversity of people, I’ve never seen so many different nationalities, ethnicities, faiths and cultures all rubbing shoulders. It’s a credit to Israel that it accommodates so many different varieties of human beings. As we say here in Scotland where I live “we’re all Jock Tamson’s bairns”!
im scottish as well! you cant say with a straight face this ' different nationalities, ethnicities, faiths and cultures all rubbing shoulders.' thats just false, theres apartheid everywhere extra judicial murders, crazy weird settlers c'mon hen its not a credit to israel at all, look at the place now theres allways big human rights issues than ben gvir freak show..im being as polite as i can only because your scottish xo

Yes I had some of these misconceptions when I visited Israel for the first time last Oct., after having been to about 40 countries. They were all debunked. And I completely fell in love with the country and want to go back.
Did you witness the Palestinian Genocide?
No, went to Bethlehem and saw tons of Palestinians. I disagree with the Israeli occupation, but to call it genocide is absurd, and does a complete disservice to the Jews who died, as well as the legitimacy of the Palestinian cause.
Stay off the bomb busses.

Israeli speaking here. Odd that when you mention secondary religions you don't mention Islam! The majority of non Jews in Israel are Muslim
She doesn't wants to remind people of them and to keep everything positive about Israel 😅 even if every country has it's dead and buried corpse and this country jas too many dead and alive ones😢
She did mention though that after jews, the second most common demographic is "non-jewish arabs" at 20%, and well, most arabs are muslim...
Also, she mentions later that "muslim bedouin" serve in the IDF...
Oh, I think it goes without saying, no?
She said Israel is home to all Abrahamic religions and more. Islam is an Abrahamic religion.
The late great Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz said the Torah like a hologram, for wherever you stand, it appears different. One could say Israel is very much like that as well.
I went to Israel in 1972 when I was 25. I loved it and I loved the Israeli people. Spent 15 months there. Many many beautiful chicks there!
The direct speak is my favorite part of Israel honestly. Hate beating around the bush here in the US
Damn it. That's so true.
Thank you for making this profile. I am an American and Lutheran, of 54 years. I have visited Israel twice -in April 1990, when I was studying in Europe. And, again with members of my church, and my Dad, in Dec’2011. Both experiences were different, and locations had changed. A friend’s daughter just returned, from a college group tour, and we’re going to compare photos, and perceptions.

I wish this terrific accurate material would reach a wider audience, the ignorant irrational haters might even rethink their bias.
I love the transparency and honesty of Israelis. It is a fabulous country I am always sad to leave. I’d make aliyah and live there in a heartbeat if not for the intense summer heat, I love a very warm spring day and love the extreme cold of winter, but anything above 28°C (82°F) I begin longing for snowfall!

Having lived in our Holy Land for eight years now, I would say you were spot on with the info you provided. One of the "misconceptions" you described was helpful to me as it was the only one I couldn't figure out on my own. Thank you for explaining this rudeness phenomenon. I have been wondering how this evolved ever since I can remember. I love it here so much but I am a very sensitive person and the culture from that perspective can be triggering. I have been working on not taking it personally because I don't want to be one to contribute to a lack of loving kindness toward my people. As Jonathan Pollard's wife (z"l) told him before she passed away: they don't look like you and they don't act like you but they are still your brothers and you have to give them respect.

Great video!
The fact that Hebrew language doesn't have polite verbal structures also affects how Hebrew native speaks talk other languages (e.g English), talking in a very direct and blank way, giving the idea of rudeness 😂😂
Modern Hebrew *does* actually have a formal/polite way of saying things, it's just not used as much (or at all) anymore because of cultural shifts between 1950s and today. Almost no one says I would like (הייתי רוצה), most everyone says I want or give me (אני רוצה, תן לי), with a pleasant sounding intonation and a smile or ***maybe**** a please affixed at the end of the sentence. Saying *I would like* puts too much distance between two speakers and makes the one speaker sound too full of themselves to Israelis. To most Europeans, on the other hand, "I would like" is perfectly normal and "I want" sounds somewhat rude. This is why Israelis who don't speak other languages fluently sometimes come off as rude because they translate directly from Hebrew to whatever language they're speaking and end up, unintentionally, violating non Israeli social norms.
There are no helping verbs in Hebrew as well.
@@tomr5803what about using ‘I’d like …’
May I is another. Is it better sounding rude and off putting which also makes it appear that the speaker seem above the other person and a put down?
Say that Israelis don’t use phony manners (like the French, English, etc.) if you like, but when I arrived with $200 in my pocket, Israelis helped me with transportation, food, clothing, lodging-everything. Real help, real care, not phony manners. P.S. I worked, studied, traveled-stayed for almost 2 years.
Lady you're swinging a bunch of BS maybe a hundred years ago that's the way they were but not now
lol now it’s the devils land
1:58 What?! What a delusional idea about Hebrew! A comparison of dictionary vocabulary counts between different languages is a somehow a method to compare linguistic *richness*?! The official number of words that exists in either language is related to the length of the sentences?! who wrote this script!? This beyond-superficial explanation is so frustrating to hear not only because it's monumentally wrong in every aspect! but because it actually teaches that Hebrew is some kind of a 'shorter' language than English because it is poorer in vocabulary... unbelievable! how outrageously ignorant! The reason that in Hebrew you ***CAN*** say just ”?חשבון„ instead of ”?אפשר לקבל את החשבון בבקשה„ ("can I have the check please") is a STYLISTIC choice! a sociolect! used by certain types of people in Israel! certainly not everyone! It's not a limitation of the language nor the vocabulary!!!... Wow. This is one of dumbest pieces of misleading information to come across. A video that comes to disprove stereotypes but creates worse new ones.
Maybe… maybe! It was intended to point out that in everyday speech, Hebrew may not sound as indirect and passive as is sometimes acceptable in English or other languages, because there's this nuance in style that may sometimes come across as 'rude' to a non-native speaker. for example, let's say "the window was broken by the boy" is normal sentence in English that describes an event of causing damage, but worded in English so that the responsibility or blame for the person who caused the damage is somewhat reduced; "The window *was broken* by...X". such sentence, if translated into Hebrew word for word - could be technically correct, but would sound very weird and unnatural. A typical response in the listener's mind may be: "What the hell do you mean 'broken by'?! Did the *BOY* break the window or didn't *HE*?!". When speaking Hebrew, generally, there is this 'feel' that arises, of 'impatience' for ambiguity or indirectness to soften or sugar-coat things - and even this would be a very general and stereotypical observation, just about a style of communication, not really about the language itself. of course You can be as gentle and as extremely polite in Hebrew as in any other language of the world. In this interpretation I probably give far too much credit to whoever scripted this bizarre "explanation" in the video.

Ahhhhhh Israeli gov paying itself😂😂😂😂
I just figured that y'all were as diverse as any country. Stereotypes are a way to categorize people. That's just not fair to lump everyone under one umbrella.
Hebrew has 85,000 terms while English has 170,000, so mathematically Hebrew has 47% less than English, while 20,000 words are used by each individual person in English, Hebrew speakers use 10,000 to 15,000.
English has a lot of redundancy due to absorbing words from French (Latin) in parallel to its Germanic origins. English has quite superfluous words to insinuate instead of saying which in Hebrew would be considered not speaking straight.
Excellent Video
Your military built concentration camps in southern Lebanon and the golan heights yet you want to claim that it isn’t racist?
And Arabs killed Jews first why not mention that mister brain wash by media.
So according to you, china, is also racist? The Arabs murdered Jews since the start of time, your time's over
bro is the oxford dictionary meaning for racist
Bro I think comes from their Yiddish word brohiem we get it from the Jamaicans. And also we think it means brother and it does wich is what the word brohiem means. We talk alot about what the Israelis do but what about the 1 million Arabs we killed in Iraqi and we never say[anything]except God bless our brave warriors have a good day.
Look, about the first point... Sorry, but no. As a guide book I once read put it, 'It is not that Israelis have bad manners, they simply have NO manners." You can either like it or lump it.
Have you ever sat next to Israelis overseas when they do not realise you can understand them?
Ever tried to tell someone not to queue jump?
Ever been crushed by someone giving an UNASKED opinion?
Ever politely asked for service on a day when the person was not in their best mood?
I could go on.
Not to say they are bad people, often kind and friendly, just only ever polite by accident.
Also 'חשבון' and 'check' are near identical in length.
To those people we call Arsim. They are one of our biggest problems, and the worst thing is that they have money and they are hedonist - a very dangerous cocktail, so they love to go for vacations abroad, and by doing so they bashing Israel overseas, especially in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and Romania. And our educational system doesn't make any better. I hope this problem will be fixed in the near future.

Human beings always have their own perceptions - which are rarely accurate.
And they want to feel right - while the reality is not.
And people sometimes believe what they are told (just like this video tell us), but never doubt what they conclude - the conclusion that could be from the truth.
We just need to have an open minded without judging whenever seeing things that we don't really know about.

On "Israelis are White," you actually deal with the myth that Israel is a condensed form of American Jewry.

What’s the difference between Mizrahi culture and Sephardic culture?
Good question! Check out some of our videos on that: ruclips.net/video/Y4NjZBD9fW4/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/M-TjGJ9bgKQ/видео.html
Those videos compare anshkanazi vs Sephardic, but not Mizrahi vs Sephardic. Sephardic culture seems similar to Mizrahi culture, especially the henna.
I wonder if accent is a little different. I was told that Sephardi hebrew sounds like french arabic to an arabic speaker. I wonder if the mizrahi hebrew sounds more like Iraqi arabic.
Mizrahi are Jews from the Middle East whose ancestors were not primarily descended from Jewish Refugees from Spain or Sepharad in Hebrew i.e. Iraqi, Persian, Afghani, Yemeni Jews

This is not aging well, what’s going on in Gaza is painting an awful picture of Israel’s government. I like to believe that Israelis themselves aren’t the same.
I’ve tried to speak about the current situation, which my son is currently deployed defending Israel with long time friends and found I was unable to finish a single sentence they thought would be critical of Israel, though it wasn’t going to be. To me I didn’t find that open minded at all. Here my family was sacrificing everything and far more than their families and I couldn’t even make a comment. That’s in the US.

I always apriciated Israel at any forums, such a small nation with a small country saving their people from the BLOODY BEASTS, every neighbor of is jealous because of his talent .
I've been watching a few of your videos, and I believe you're trying to present a fair and nuanced view. Therefore I'd like to ask you a question. How do you address the fact that Hebrews were *not* the indigenous people of Palestine - that this land was in fact occupied by people whom we call Canaanites - and that referring to it as "The Promised Land" highlights that it was *not* the ancestral homeland of the Hebrews. There are bibilical accounts of wholesale slaughter, sanctioned by the God of Abraham, during the conquest of the Land of Canaan. Ancestral homeland given this context is an over-simplification. How far back should we roll history, in any part of the world?
That is a good question. And thank you for the compliment
A few points of response:
- The fact that others lived there previously does not mean that Jews aren’t indigenous to Israel. Jews built a homeland, a culture, a religious identity, a national identity, and a language rooted in that land for thousands of years.
- Who gets to live in any land? Where did the Cannanites comes from? What gave them the right to take over the land from whoever was there before them? Yes there were wars and conquest, as most lands in this world throughout history have experienced. It’s interesting that unlike other nations, Israel didn’t try to become an empire with expansive territories and colonies, but stayed within the boundaries of the land of Israel
- There are no Cannanites today (or any of the other nations around at the time) so it’s sort of a moot point, if Cannanites were to show up asking for some of the land
- Assuming we’re going according to the Bible, there are several stories where Jews legally and evenhandedly bought land from the Canaanites, including Hebron, Jerusalem, and Shechem - which ironically are some of the most disputed places in Israel.
- Israel’s claim on the land is not simply that their ancestors lived there 2,000+ years ago, but also because they bought, settled, built, and defended the land over the last 100+ years
@@UNPACKED Thanks for replying so quickly. I raise this question because of all the current discussion about colonialism, and other disputes about who has the right to claim certain lands. [Because I'm of UK origin but living in Canada, I'm cognizant of this issue from multiple points of view.] With advances in ancient DNA, it is possible to establish that some residents of te area of Palestine and the Levant (using old terminology) are descended from ancient inhabitants. True, we don't know if the Canaanites were original, but we do know they were there before the Hebrew pastoralists invaded. I want to point out that if we say the claim of the current State of Israel is legitimated by right of ancient conquest, then what other claims are legitimated? At what point in history do we draw the line for everyone?
You’re right that we don’t base countries now solely on ancient times. Though it’s interesting that there are not really any remaining nations from the ancient near East - except for the Jewish nation.
The State of Israel’s claim is not solely based on what happened 3,000 years, but also on the end of colonial Empires (including your very own UK) - the same thing that led to the creation of India and Pakistan and Jordan and Lebanon, etc - and the UN’s resolution of 1947, and having won the land in defensive wars in 1948 and 1967. That, plus the ancient continuity and indigeneity make Israel among the most well-established of any countries around today.
@@UNPACKED I don't understand why you keep insisting on Hebrews being indigenous to Canaan. The accepted definition of indigenous is "original inhabitants". Regardless of who the original inhabitants were, whether Canaanites or peoples they overcame, according to the Torah, the Hebrews invaded the Land of Canaan and took the land by force. Unless you don't believe the Torah?
Indigenous doesn’t have to mean the first people to live somewhere. Because then the Canaanites aren’t indigenous, it would be the people who before them, or the people who came before them, etc. There is no one definitive definition of indigenous but here is one, and you’ll see that it apples to the Jews and Israel: www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii/documents/5session_factsheet1.pdf
'Great video, thanks for sharing. I'd certainly like to visit one day. :)
Very interesting.
I'd love to visit Israel but that no-lines thing really puts me off. Afraid I'd starve.
“Stereotypes” is another word for “group characteristics”
Thankyou for this video~ I quite liked and found it informative.
The only American 🇺🇸 thing I have heard about Israeli’s was that they are very honest 😮!
Lololololololol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Falafel! Just told a still frustrated Arab to get heaps of it 😏 Also mentioned to another clown about $tar$ War$ 🤪
My favorite phrase from Hebrew class:
מי נתן לך את הראשון?!
Who gave you a license?!
מי נתן לך רישיון?!
Almost :)
its רישיון - license (pronounced Rishayon)
a common phrase when someone cuts you off at the road.
ראשון means first (pronounced Rishon)
Almost correct 😁
מי נתן לך רישיון?!
@@oribt1 אני גר בראשון
Living here for 3 years and being pretty immersed in the culture I dont feel that Israelis are rude or even pushy , this is a behavoir of Jerusalemites or people of lower socioecenomic class
What Americans call rude others call direct .In a way its even more honest than any other.
Being to friendly is seen a being fake or plastic in many cultures

"Should the bus go vrom vrom on saturday or should state and church be one like in the inquisition era?" Such natural objectiveness.
Thank you so much for illustrating this truth so well!
Ironically October 7th brought me here
I think Israel would be my top pick for a country to visit. I love the deep community and the warm religion I see in Jewish community in NY. I wish I could join them
It's not like this. The Jews in the US are extremely different than the Jews in Israel. Keep that in mind. They are minority in a non Jewish country and most of them are left wing Ashkenazi and we are the majority in a Jewish country and most of us are right wing Mizrahi. Totally different mindsets.
@@Jewish_Israeli_ZionistYes, and I would choose to be with the people of Israel 🇮🇱❤️
They sound alot like us in the u.s.a especially with that whole seeming being rude and brash cause I always hear Europeans say we Americans are brash or rude.
Funny how all those comments say and talk the same way. Bunch of spammera trying to clean the image of the worst apartheid racist terrorist ppl.
"Apartheid" be careful what you wish for..... no apartheid (which we all want) means Jews are allowed to build houses and create communities anywhere in the world, including anywhere in the Arab world, and also in Judea/West Bank living and thriving right next to Palestinians.
Anti Zionists are the only ones who don’t want that.
So much more than hating arabs ?
Israelis speak their mind. An Israeli who came to live in my city temporarily to be a teacher was fired suddenly. He gave no explanation. Then he told me there was a child in his class who "couldn't learn, she shouldn't be in the class, she shouldn't have be promoted, she is stupid." When he said these things, he was fired. These are true and very Israeli to say, but they are unacceptable in America, where we try to make allowances for disabled children. So yes, Israelis speak their mind, but if you speak your mind in America, you may be fired from your job.
This Israeli isn't a very example of Israelis are.
No Israeli teacher in their right mind would say such thing. Otherwise the parents will immediately file for this teacher to be fired.
Sorry, but he was just an ass. Children have different reasons for how they learn including disability and neurodivergence. Don't go out of your way to normalize that man's horrific ableist garbage. Any child in his care deserves more support than theat.
Wowwow wee-wow!
why ? one more time, why rockets are raining down? is it because more than a million people besieged and imprisoned with no exit or gateway to the outside world.
I'm lovin it! I mean this Video 👍🏻 & not McD 👎🏻
The Druze are the equivalent to the Puerto Ricans that are big about military service!
'DUGRI' it's an Arabic word-originally, 'Dugri' it's-mean *saying it-as-is* or the *saying-the-real/truth*
during the years Israel adopted-the word-as-a 'street-talk' or a 'slang-word'
Absolutely love and appreciate this and all other of your videos. Thank you for making them ❤
Fun fact, Jerry Seinfeld is one 😊
one what ?
No
I love our Israel.
I am an Iranian and I have a deep respect for lovely people of Israel. You are the light of the earth. Soon we and others grab your sleeves as Hashem is with you. He has promised you. Shabat Shalom my brothers and sisters ❤🎉
Am israeli and not white
Nice video..
Israel is a beautiful land. The modern israeli culture, now that is a different story.
The land became beautiful under the modern Israeli technical culture. Many people have written about the desolation before the Zionist movement.
Brilliant as always .Love you guys .. We are like no other - B"H
I've worked with Isralies. They were very nice, entertaining and welcoming. There's nothing wrong with being religious btw.
Excellent video- so well done and accurate!
Propaganda.
Blaming the government? If you are showing Gvir, you're not worth listening to.
I dislike religion fanaticism, nationalism, love for money, family values and conservatism in general. So Israel and Arabic states are not my priority for vacation.
