    I’m originally from Alexandria, Egypt. When I was young one of my best friends was a kid from Palestine whom lost all his family due to the war. His name was Ali. That was 40 years ago! Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all over the world for work and now I live in Hawaii. Watching this video put tears in my eyes, right from the moment the host Omar walking down the street said “Sabah Ilkher” translate to “Good Morning” the reason is it just breaks my heart that in this age and time people are still hating on each other because race or religion or what ever. When it comes down to it most people just want to live a good life and peaceful life, all over the world.
    People should just live and let live, it’s much nicer to share culture and food then to hate on it. Much respect to Mark Weins for going to these places and sharing these videos from all over the world. Just like Bob Marley says “One Love”
    Much respect and love to the Palestine people all over the world, and much love and respect to who ever reads this. Aloha and Salam

    I can't thank you enough for going on a tour of Bethlehem, the hometown of my family--glad you got to see the Church of Nativity (where my parents got married ;) And impressed that you braved it out to go to Hebron and go to that legendary glass factory, I still cherish the incredible pieces I bought from there many years ago. If you and your beautiful family ever visit California, I invite you to an authentic Palestinian meal at my home anytime! God bless, B

    The family meals in many middle east countries are very similar to ours in Mexico, the whole family seats at the dinner table to share and have a good and private time together, by the way the food looks simply delicious I wish I could try it out one day, they use a lot of ingredients that we use here in Mexico too, and they eat a lot of bread that we call wheat tortillas which are very popular in northern Mexico. And the most important, people are very kind and excellent hosts.

      It's same here in India. Mexican and Indian food is also similar. And Indian food and cooking has huge middle eastern influence, so our dishes are also similar.

    Long live Palestine… the rightful name of a sacred land blessed by a people so generous, so graceful, so adorned by God’s light. These are the angels of the earth… their bravery, their resilience, their strength is unmatched. FREE PALESTINE until it is free from genocidal occupation, free Palestine from the ethnic cleansing being perpetrated on them… it will forever be PALESTINE
