@@shachafroitman1561 I hope so 🙏 but sadly you can't because of Hezbollah taken over the south and shia religion and controling their minds but there is still some shia brother that see the truth and try to make revolution against Hezbollah and want love and peace
I wish you all the luck :) its must be painful to become from Christian country to majority Muslim and with terrorists like Hezbollah above your head. Hello from a city 6km from ur border :) haha@@terrybogard2023
I was touched by your message to Lebanon, Iam a lebanese canadian who haven't been in Lebanon for 32 years, drinking coffee on the streets of Beirut, listening to Fairuz😢 . Thank you for spreading love and peace instead of hatred and discrimination in this greedy ugly world.
As a syrian who left his country because of war, I can tell you that the most ordinarily people in the region are fed up with wars and conflicts and just want to live peacefully with each other. I would also wish to have a coffee in Jerusalem or maybe go out in Tel Aviv.
Israel is the source of war and created all conditions of hatred that keep war going on and on... Syrian Assad regime over the 60 years served Israel interests... They do not even dare to get their lands, the Golan heights, back neither shoot a bullet in Israel direction... Such pussies and filthy quislings... Hate Syrians supporting Assad regime and their allies starting form Hezbollah the captagon cartel.
Brother, I am so happy to hear you say this because all I hear is calls for hate and violence. I feel like we are just players in politicians games and it makes me so angry. It’s been enough. I want children to worry about normal things like what they will wear to school today not is it safe to go outside 💔
Im Syrian and my wife is Lebanese, we were so grateful to be able to visit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem before covid! Hoping for peace so we can all visit each others lands once again. Damascus, Beirut, Tel Aviv. Say no to war. Let us all live together in peace.

As an Israeli, I greatly appreciate all the soldiers who serve - on duty or in the reserves (I also did) - but it is important to emphasize that the political position the two soldiers presented, which speaks of a "Greater Israel" and a return to the settlement of Gush Katif area, is a political position that only a certain part of Israelis believe in and support. I, and many like me, do not. There are various reasons for this, which I will not go into here. The terrible situation that Israel found itself in, following the brutal massacre that Hamas conducted, resurfaced more prominently these ideas. This does not mean that they are justified - morally or security-wise.
Whoever doesn’t support conquering Gaza in essence is supporting the policy of “having mercy on the cruel”, which is in practice being cruel to your brothers. You should be ashamed that you prefer pandering to world opinion over protecting your brothers
I think after October 7 many Israelis started supporting this view - "thanks" to Hamas. Before that I would also prefer some peaceful solution, but now it just seems too dangerous.
Just with good people like you we can have Peace bro, please lets stopp this extremists in our coutrys and just make peace, thats the best for all people. I am an Palestinien.✌️
Greatings from Germany. Found this channel just a few days ago because of the obvious reason...the attack. Thank you for your work, dude. In my eyes you've got balls of steal. Stay safe!

As a Lebanese Shiaa Canadian from southern Lebanon, I hope that all these wars will come to an end one day and that we can live together as brothers. The saddest part of all these wars is that it's a family conflict, since we're all related (Jews and Muslims), especially today's Shiites of southern Lebanon, the vast majority of whom are Mizrahi Jews who converted to Islam.
I am Mizrahi jewish israeli from north israel. (City of Nahariya) where saluki was filming. You are 100% correct. I don't see Lebanese as enemy. I did my genetic DNA testing and 88% of my genetic was Levant (Israel/Lebanon) the other 12% was turkish (probably from ottoman empire colonization period of our 2 countries). We are for sure brothers from different mothers. I think many nights how will my life be different if only I was born 15 km north of My house today, that's already inside Lebanon. I live closer to Beruit than I live to Tel Aviv. Our people were all phonicians many years ago; and stupid poltics and borders divide us! Shalom alcheem (peace be upon you in hebrew) to you in Canada and any family you still have in Lebanon. One day, we will see peace between our beautiful countries.
Interestingly, a genetic study found that more than 50% of Palestinians have some Jewish DNA. During the Arab Conquest, a lot of Lebanese, Canaanites and Jews were converted to Islam and lost their identity.
I'm interested in the last statement of your comment. I was always under the impression that Lebanese Shia Muslims shared roughly the same genetics as their Sunni and Christian neighbors. I'm aware of Canaanite ancestry in Lebanese people, which Jews and Palestinians have in common with the Lebanese, but I've never heard that the Shia Muslim population specifically descends from converted Mizrahi Jews. Do you possibly have any sources pointing to evidence of mass conversion from Judaism to Shia Islam in Lebanon? I would really appreciate anything you can offer.
@cospway The southern Shiites literally do the same style prayer songs as the Mizrahi (tonality, rhythm, melody) its litteraly indentical - what's more I did a test of taking a Shiite song and a Mizrahi song and I couldn't tell which was which before they start speaking Hebrew and saying Israel... Then there is the DNA - all the Shiites I know who took a DNA test discovered that they were at least 20% Mizrahi.
@@alichahadi5788 I was going to say the music in prayer could be just a result of cultural diffusion, but the DNA result really surprises me. I'm a Damascene Jew in the US, and the Syrian Jewish community here includes many Lebanese and Egyptian Jews. When I tested with AncestryDNA my results were estimated at 72%-100% Levantine and 0%-2% Sephardic Jewish (from the Iberian peninsula). These services are known for not adequately testing Jews from Arab countries, but judging from my family's lack of Spanish customs, I probably descend from Musta'arabi ("Arabized") Jews who have been in Damascus for 3,000 years rather than Spanish Jews who fled the Inquisition, who tended to immigrate more to Aleppo and the rest of the Mediterranean. I'm currently reading a book called "Wadi Abu Jamil: Stories of the Jews of Beirut" by Nada Abdelsamad, and it's fascinating how diverse Beirut's Jewish community was. There were Musta'arabi Jews who lived there since forever, along with Sephardic Jews who fled Spain, and Ashkenazi Jews from Germany (most notably Dr. Shams, who was a German-Jewish doctor famous for charging patients only what they were able to pay). Lebanon has 29 Jews still left in Beirut and many Lebanese Jews living elsewhere visit occasionally. I pray we all overcome divisions manufactured by colonialism and heal from Zionism and its false promises.
I am also Lebanese form Shia religion and hate Hezbollah for their actions and i want love and peace for everyone especially for both sides Israel and Lebanon. Peace my brother
Palestinian Israelis like me are just stuck in the middle, most Jewish israelis see us as enemies living right next to them and the war has made the racism against us even worse, and palestinians in the territories are expecting us to do an intifada 💀💀
Bro I feel SO SORRY for you guys right now.. I hope you can "understand" why the level of racism (which was already high to begin with) now gone to the roof.. not that it helps you, cause it doesn't justify the psychotic comments I read online.. some soccer player's wife wrote something about "how she's sorry for kids on both sides" or something like that and good lord the loonies went out of their mind for this lol
Can we appreciate for a moment the Israeli Arab community for 0 (ZERO) incidents? As far as I know, no emergencies, no killings, no pogroms, no fires, no nothing. I live in Haifa and since 2017 all or most of my neighbors were Arabs. I saw no hassle, no threat to my person here EVER, and frankly I cannot really comprehend, I cannot fully imagine my city and my neighbors going nuts burning wheels and killing people. My doc is Arab, the whole Downtown is full of Arabs every night, you can cin-cin with Christians and share a good phat blunt with Muslims (if you're up to, it's not a necessity) and have a conversation. I understand that if I will see an intifada I will not be able to erase it. My perception most likely will be changed by that. But since I never saw it, I never saw Israeli Arabs as enemies. And I'm grateful for that.
You are the gold of this nation, your clips lift my spirit up, I can't really explain it...I guess when shit hits the fan, its nice to embrace our diversity and our people, for better and for worse. As an Israeli Im glued to the news and I dont go out much lately, but with you its almost like Im going out. Let's get through this mess quickly, it will be ok.
I live in this usually quiet small beach town which is about 10 km from lebanon border. As an israeli Jew living in north israel, we live with many muslim arabs, Christian, Druze and Bahai and we are all Israelis! when Hezballah (in the north) or Hamas (in the south) shoots rockets, they attack all of us equally. I often think about what if I was born 15 km north of me (inside Lebanon) how would my life be any different. I wonder what is life like for people there?. These poltics, wars and hate due to religious differences are so stupid. I think what If we all just got along. We can drive to eachothers countries, try different food, see different ways of life. Laugh together, watch football teams play against eachother. Children can play with one another. What a wonderful world this can be. This is not our conflict, our generation didnt start this, we inherent these stupid circumstances. If we continue on this path, we will all get old and our children will have to deal with the same bs we did. We may not started this confict, but we need to end it as our Legacy and as a gift to our children to live in a more peaceful world. To all my Arab neighbour's in Lebanon, i know your life has been hard with your corrupt politicians, bad economy and terrible bomb accident in beruit all in the last few years. But stay positive, Shalom alcheem (peace be upon you), and stay safe through these hard times. Don't let's Hezballah destory your beautiful country!! Shalom from your neighbors in the south.
Will. In the USA and all of Europe. They hate whites in there own country and even giving are history to others. That is not peace. The world is in hell. I won’t the hate that is giving to my people to stop world wide. We don’t won’t to mix with other we won’t to stay are selfs just like the Jews do. And all other country’s. I won’t are country’s back…. The world is like living in hell there no peace at all all day long you here whites are racist ya even on the news no one else just whites. You can’t get peace with hate.
Salukie ... Your channel showed up in my recommendations about a week ago. I am so glad that it did. You have given a whole different perspective to what is actually happening in the day-to-day lives of the Iraesli Citizens. Shalom
Salute brother, love your content and to get to know about Israel from normal guy and normal people you meet .. and not the stupid shit they show on Tv here @@theSalukie
I’m very flattered you accepted my genuine compliment Please continue There is too much hate we need to counteract it as Arabs & Jews through beautiful videos like these
I support palestinians and I believe they have the right to a state But I also don’t think that supporting peaceful channels like Salukis is a barrier to that What is a barrier to peace is extremists from both sides: Zionist racist extremists and Islamist Palestinians Jews & Arabs need to make a compromise Anyways Thanh’s for your comment
@@wiwal2192 It's not just Islamists, though. Before Hamas and PIJ, secular Palestinian groups were the primary driversof terrorist attacks. In fact, some of the most prominent figures were not even Muslims ( e.g. George Habash, founder of the PFLP, Nayef Hawatmeh, founder of DFLP, Luttif Afif, who commanded the team that lead the Munich massacre, etc.)
Glad to have found your channel last week. I think I've gone through almost all your uploads! The perspective you are able to provide is immense. Keep up the great work man!
As always, I'm loving the honesty of your platform man. Not trying to hide or silence the reality of the diverse views to serve a narrative. Whether or not we agree with something, until we acknowledge it, we'll remain static in the same reality.
2:22 - Terror Attack in Nahariya - 1979 At this place on the 22nd of April, 1979, a group of terrorists snuck into Nahariya. After a short battle on the seaside road in which policeman Sgt. Eliyahu Shachar, aged 24 was killed, they broke into the house on 61 Jabotinsky St. and took Dani, aged 31, and his daughter Einat, aged 4, as hostages. The mother, Smadar, hid together with her daughter Yael, aged 2, and a neighbor. During the escape Dani and Einat were brutally murdered. Yael perished during her mother's trial for escape through hiding them in secret. Two of the terrorists were eliminated. Over the years, the terrorists and their operators were killed for different reasons. Smadar was the only one who survived the attack. The simple answer for why soldiers on the beach is to defend against an invasion or other terrorist threats coming from the ocean.
@@SO-pd4wr yes peace if a serious thing, no mroe people dying for a small ass lands like israel, fucking desert in the middle of nowhere, "holy land" fosho fosho...
It's so interesting to watch your videos man. better than any media reporting. Do your thing and stay safe. we pray for you and your people. greetings from Germany
Yeah, but do you see any Muslim youth doing the same thing that Salukie is doing… that’s the problem. There is no one on the other side to befriend who shares the same perspective for coexistence.
Those soldiers seem really naive. I almost feel bad for them, like the Americans that came home with PTSD after they bought into the whole "Fighting for Freedom" bs.
@@AyKlay Sorry to hear that. War is so ugly it brings the worst out of us. Unfortunately it's the young man that gets exploited for the old rich men to play a selfish game. How many more lives need to be sacrificed before we realize our real enemies are the ones that wish to sacrifice us instead of finding peace. Peace should always be a priority.
everyone needs to watch you. you humanized palestinians for me, and others i think are having israelis humanized. please stay safe and keep doing what you're doing. im american jewish and everyones fighting here, this is a nice reminder to me that not all is bad. you're a beacon of light!
Greetings from Poland! I found this channel about a week ago completely by accident. you make excellent documents. I am particularly interested in your current materials from Israel. I also congratulate you on your knowledge of so many languages. Keep doing it and take care.
Crazy how nobody in the comments picked up the soldier saying “Greater Israel” if you don’t know it is basically referring to occupying all of Lebanon and Jordan and a part of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey. Evil people
bruh i was looking for a comment that has some sense! i honestly got so scared of how they were talking? thank god there’s still people with common sense
Hey Man, I'm from Egypt love your videos. If only more people like you peace can be made.. I know you just present all views from everyone, but it's sad what this solider said about Gaza and the whole situation I know it's just one person view, but I hope one day we all live in peace and people can visit and enjoy the "opposite" side
I found your channel randomly a couple weeks ago. I love the content, the dry humor, exploring places I've never been, and your personality. I'm always excited when I see you posted a new video. Thank you!
Actually so cool seeing you in your hometown. You are the most nonchalant and non dramatic war reporter in the world! 😂 Falafels and missile siren's . Only on TheSalukies channel.
I’m not in Israel right now, but Even before the withdrawal many Israelis didn’t really care if Gush Katif went to the Arabs, to hear them say it should be returned to Israel I was like wtf.
It should absolutely be returned. Why let a population of Nazi supporters stay there. There are Palestinian polls done periodically that shows consistent 80% support for Hamas in Gaza. An Arab from Gaza who left and converted to Judaism said 99% of them support killing Jews. This is the land of Israel we will not tolerate Nazis amongst us any longer
Thank you The Salukie. Hopefully, your dream will be true one day. Where all people in the region regardless of their creed, color, and race will live in peace and harmony. The warmongers on both sides should be stopped. The people in the region had suffered a lot and for long.
Well, both Hezbollah and Hamas are supported by the Iranian government. So really it’s a proxy war between Iran and Israel. I don’t include the Iranian people because they are separate from their government and most of them are very good people and they don’t want this war. At least the Iranian’s I have spoken with. Israel supported us during 9/11. I support Israel. Mostly I pray for PEACE!!
Bro, I'm sending you love and good energy from California, I hope to god you stay safe, please don't put your body in harms way for these videos. I know it seems exciting and you're eager to cover the news on the ground, but your life is much more important, you have a greater purpose, don't throw it away for videos. God bless.
Much love from Serbia for all good people struggle out there in these bad times. And Salukie you are doing great job to inform us here what is really going on.
My grandma used to tell me stories about living in palestine before coming to Lebanon, with jewish christian and muslim neighbours, she told me stories of peace and neighbourly love.. i pray for peace
Really great videos man, you remind me bald and bankrupt in your gonzo video style and some people know how to talk to the camera and people in a natural way, I could totally imagine hanging out with you. Also respect for the message you sent to Lebanon at the end. Saw a video where you bloody slept under a tree, takes big balls to live like that. Keep it up big fan!
If you elect an extreme far right government in Israel You know it's not gonna end well, C'mon people this is not the Israel that I use to know.. Big up to Salu for carrying the torch 🔥
Israeli people voted right wing government most likely because of security threat (Palestinian terrorism) towards them. Had Hamas not terrorized Israel last October 7, there would be no war. Its a cycle actually, Palestinian will terrorize Israeli civilians, IDF will fught back. Palestinians will have more grudges against Israelis, Israelis will have more fears so they will tighten security. Then the Leftist media will magnify the situation and pro-Israel will support Israel and the cycle will go on. Hamas and Palestinians should stop terrorizing Israelis so that Israel would trust them.
I have come across your YT channel while browsing for some Israel/ Palestine solo travel videos. So far I have been impressed. You showed courage, integrity willingness to listen to both sides of whats going on at the minute. I have just find out your X account but you have not posted as yet. Take care and thank you !
God bless you, Ido, and stay safe! You're one of the few, who still pushes for and promotes peace between jews and arabs, who have so many things in common!
I just found your channel and it's really, really awesome (especially enjoying it from the perspective as oleh). You're channel is gonna be huge someday, no question.
I'm a Lebanese American and I have pro Palestine views, but I just want to say I hope nothing happens to your city. I don't ever want to see people suffer and I surely don't want to see our countries fight. I hope that one day all people can live in peace, and maybe we as Lebanese will accept the Jews that left/exiled after 1948. Peace and love to everybody.
Theres something so.....uniquely sweet about these IDF guys who are dressed so tough ready for a fight...they are tzadikim and we are grateful and pray for their safety daily❤❤ 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇱

I volunteert in Shavei Zion for a year, i have been often to Naharija and Rosh Hanikra, crazy to see this. Thank you for the work man! Greetings from Germany
You are an uncontainable spark in a world too often dimmed by caution-you're audacious, irreverent, and gloriously unapologetic. It's spirits like yours that have the power to weave together the frayed fabric of our shared humanity. Let's remember, we-Semitic people of the Levant, whether Arab, Muslim, Jewish, or Christian-are not just neighbours in geography but cousins in lineage. We all originated from the same cradle of humanity, a cradle set in the heart of Africa. Millennia have passed since our ancestors journeyed from that shared starting point, scattering to different corners of the Earth. But in the process, we've forgotten the undeniable truth of our common ancestry, our intrinsic human needs for connection, empathy, and love. Reclaiming these truths, living them daily through acts of kindness and love-that is the key to fulfilling the promise of our collective humanity and peace on earth.
I recall coming across your channel some years ago, I'm not sure why I did not subscribe but I am thankful that the algorithm has pushed your content back onto my feed and I made sure to subscribe this time! Keep doing what you do and keep staying true to peace!
Notice how that soldier says they want the west bank. How can you have peace when they want all the land. And yes in the Quran it does mention Jews were given the holy land, but it also says it was taken away from them for turning their backs on God. It’s also mentioned in Old Testament.
hey Salukie been following you and your travels for a year or so ...love your content in all countries ...and now very relevant to real world problems and you unbiased view on it all ..stay safe and peace in the middle east ,,much lvxx

Palestinian Israelis like me are just stuck in the middle, most Jewish israelis see us as enemies living right next to them and the war has made the racism against us even worse, and palestinians in the territories are expecting us to do an intifada 💀💀
As an Israeli, If you're an Israeli Arab that wants to live in coexistence, in peace, and you do not support Hamas, I won't see you as an enemy.
Bro I feel SO SORRY for you guys right now.. I hope you can "understand" why the level of racism (which was already high to begin with) now gone to the roof.. not that it helps you, cause it doesn't justify the psychotic comments I read online.. some soccer player's wife wrote something about "how she's sorry for kids on both sides" or something like that and good lord the loonies went out of their mind for this lol
אין "פלסטיני" ישראלי. יש ערבי ישראלי. פלסטין היא מדינה שהמציא עראפת.
Can we appreciate for a moment the Israeli Arab community for 0 (ZERO) incidents? As far as I know, no emergencies, no killings, no pogroms, no fires, no nothing.
I live in Haifa and since 2017 all or most of my neighbors were Arabs. I saw no hassle, no threat to my person here EVER, and frankly I cannot really comprehend, I cannot fully imagine my city and my neighbors going nuts burning wheels and killing people.
My doc is Arab, the whole Downtown is full of Arabs every night, you can cin-cin with Christians and share a good phat blunt with Muslims (if you're up to, it's not a necessity) and have a conversation.
I understand that if I will see an intifada I will not be able to erase it. My perception most likely will be changed by that. But since I never saw it, I never saw Israeli Arabs as enemies. And I'm grateful for that.

You are the gold of this nation, your clips lift my spirit up, I can't really explain it...I guess when shit hits the fan, its nice to embrace our diversity and our people, for better and for worse.
As an Israeli Im glued to the news and I dont go out much lately, but with you its almost like Im going out. Let's get through this mess quickly, it will be ok.
Wow man, that's a beautiful comment. Thank you
Really find your content fascinating and adds a real view of the different experiences of this region in a real and natural way. Refreshing content
Thank you!
Your videos have given me comfort in these difficult times. Thank you. You have a brother here in Los Angeles, now. Stay safe.
Glad to hear it mate! Thank you :)

Thank you brother!
Welcome habibi stay safe!@@theSalukie
I live in this usually quiet small beach town which is about 10 km from lebanon border. As an israeli Jew living in north israel, we live with many muslim arabs, Christian, Druze and Bahai and we are all Israelis! when Hezballah (in the north) or Hamas (in the south) shoots rockets, they attack all of us equally. I often think about what if I was born 15 km north of me (inside Lebanon) how would my life be any different. I wonder what is life like for people there?. These poltics, wars and hate due to religious differences are so stupid. I think what If we all just got along. We can drive to eachothers countries, try different food, see different ways of life. Laugh together, watch football teams play against eachother. Children can play with one another. What a wonderful world this can be. This is not our conflict, our generation didnt start this, we inherent these stupid circumstances. If we continue on this path, we will all get old and our children will have to deal with the same bs we did. We may not started this confict, but we need to end it as our Legacy and as a gift to our children to live in a more peaceful world. To all my Arab neighbour's in Lebanon, i know your life has been hard with your corrupt politicians, bad economy and terrible bomb accident in beruit all in the last few years. But stay positive, Shalom alcheem (peace be upon you), and stay safe through these hard times. Don't let's Hezballah destory your beautiful country!! Shalom from your neighbors in the south.
Will. In the USA and all of Europe. They hate whites in there own country and even giving are history to others. That is not peace. The world is in hell. I won’t the hate that is giving to my people to stop world wide. We don’t won’t to mix with other we won’t to stay are selfs just like the Jews do. And all other country’s. I won’t are country’s back…. The world is like living in hell there no peace at all all day long you here whites are racist ya even on the news no one else just whites. You can’t get peace with hate.
Salukie ... Your channel showed up in my recommendations about a week ago. I am so glad that it did. You have given a whole different perspective to what is actually happening in the day-to-day lives of the Iraesli Citizens. Shalom
Awesome bro, welcome :)
Love and peace to our neighbours from Egypt.
Shokran habibi

Dude, like are you real? I never seen such heartwarming videos.
Saudi girl here. please be safe
shalom to eveyone
NO POLITICS
Aw, thank you :)
I’m very flattered you accepted my genuine compliment
Please continue
There is too much hate we need to counteract it as Arabs & Jews through beautiful videos like these
@@wiwal2192 As a Palestinian, all I could say is "fear Allah". Don't support colonization and apartheid
I support palestinians and I believe they have the right to a state
But I also don’t think that supporting peaceful channels like Salukis is a barrier to that
What is a barrier to peace is extremists from both sides: Zionist racist extremists and Islamist Palestinians
Jews & Arabs need to make a compromise
Anyways
Thanh’s for your comment
@@wiwal2192 It's not just Islamists, though. Before Hamas and PIJ, secular Palestinian groups were the primary driversof terrorist attacks. In fact, some of the most prominent figures were not even Muslims ( e.g. George Habash, founder of the PFLP, Nayef Hawatmeh, founder of DFLP,
Luttif Afif, who commanded the team that lead the Munich massacre, etc.)
Your channel is going to explode the algo showed me your channel but your content and style is serious next level stuff. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that very much! Thank you, i will :)
im Lebanese, and I like your attitude and the way you approach life. I hope your dream can become reality without violence.
Thank you bro :)
Glad to have found your channel last week. I think I've gone through almost all your uploads! The perspective you are able to provide is immense. Keep up the great work man!
Thank you man! That's awesome, welcome to the channel
As always, I'm loving the honesty of your platform man. Not trying to hide or silence the reality of the diverse views to serve a narrative. Whether or not we agree with something, until we acknowledge it, we'll remain static in the same reality.
Thank you man!
2:22 - Terror Attack in Nahariya - 1979
At this place on the 22nd of April, 1979, a group of terrorists snuck into Nahariya. After a short battle on the seaside road in which policeman Sgt. Eliyahu Shachar, aged 24 was killed, they broke into the house on 61 Jabotinsky St. and took Dani, aged 31, and his daughter Einat, aged 4, as hostages. The mother, Smadar, hid together with her daughter Yael, aged 2, and a neighbor. During the escape Dani and Einat were brutally murdered. Yael perished during her mother's trial for escape through hiding them in secret. Two of the terrorists were eliminated. Over the years, the terrorists and their operators were killed for different reasons. Smadar was the only one who survived the attack.
The simple answer for why soldiers on the beach is to defend against an invasion or other terrorist threats coming from the ocean.
Love Israel from Lebanon

Thank you brother
i found your channel two days ago, please keep making videos like these, they are really interesting
I am a Libanesen,i will be glad to have you as a Gast in my country,and y r Always Welcome...
Hope you get a million subscribers ASAP. Praying for peace in the region.
Love the videos, stay safe. People like you give me hope that people can coexist but after after so many years i don't see it happening.
Yeah, but do you see any Muslim youth doing the same thing that Salukie is doing… that’s the problem. There is no one on the other side to befriend who shares the same perspective for coexistence.
been watching you for awhile bro good to see your growing you deserve it!
Appreciate it, thank you brother :)
Found ur channel a week go, watched all ur vids. amazing channel, hope it gets the the views that it deserves ! Much love Salukie
That's amazing! Probably took you days. Thank you brother :)
Those soldiers seem really naive. I almost feel bad for them, like the Americans that came home with PTSD after they bought into the whole "Fighting for Freedom" bs.
Yep, exactly. 2 of my friends killed themselves after they came back from Iraq.
They are being brainwashed.
@@AyKlay Sorry to hear that. War is so ugly it brings the worst out of us. Unfortunately it's the young man that gets exploited for the old rich men to play a selfish game. How many more lives need to be sacrificed before we realize our real enemies are the ones that wish to sacrifice us instead of finding peace. Peace should always be a priority.
everyone needs to watch you. you humanized palestinians for me, and others i think are having israelis humanized. please stay safe and keep doing what you're doing. im american jewish and everyones fighting here, this is a nice reminder to me that not all is bad. you're a beacon of light!
Awwww this message to the Lebanese are so heart warming ❤😢🕊️🇮🇱😍
Greetings from Poland! I found this channel about a week ago completely by accident. you make excellent documents. I am particularly interested in your current materials from Israel. I also congratulate you on your knowledge of so many languages. Keep doing it and take care.
Thank you very much! Welcome to the channel.
Greetings from England your a top guy keep up the great vlogs but more importantly keep yourself safe 🤝
Thanks, will do mate :)
thanks for doing this brother
love from italy
Grazie 🫶🇮🇹
Crazy how nobody in the comments picked up the soldier saying “Greater Israel” if you don’t know it is basically referring to occupying all of Lebanon and Jordan and a part of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey. Evil people
bruh i was looking for a comment that has some sense! i honestly got so scared of how they were talking? thank god there’s still people with common sense
I thought the top comments will be all about those two young fasc... I mean IDF soldiers.
But nothing. Scary.
@@basicallyaleftist3407 truly.
even though I am Egyptian but I like watching your videos and you look like a decent nice guy be safe
I appreciate that! Thank you
The way you spoke arabic sounded really cute 🫠❤️❤️
Shokran ^^
Hey Man, I'm from Egypt love your videos. If only more people like you peace can be made.. I know you just present all views from everyone, but it's sad what this solider said about Gaza and the whole situation I know it's just one person view, but I hope one day we all live in peace and people can visit and enjoy the "opposite" side
Thank you my man
I found your channel randomly a couple weeks ago. I love the content, the dry humor, exploring places I've never been, and your personality. I'm always excited when I see you posted a new video. Thank you!
It’s a true journalism! Thanks, keep going
Thank you!
Hello from the south of Lebanon!
merhaba!
Actually so cool seeing you in your hometown. You are the most nonchalant and non dramatic war reporter in the world! 😂 Falafels and missile siren's . Only on TheSalukies channel.
Hahaha I just had to go visit Eyal.
@@theSalukie yeah and your non existent gf . Lol!!!!
Just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching everything 😂 love from south africa.
Thank you, much love!
The opinions of the two soldiers are not representative of the Israeli people at all, just wanted to put that out here.
I’m not in Israel right now, but Even before the withdrawal many Israelis didn’t really care if Gush Katif went to the Arabs, to hear them say it should be returned to Israel I was like wtf.
That’s how they all are, bunch of cowards
It should absolutely be returned. Why let a population of Nazi supporters stay there. There are Palestinian polls done periodically that shows consistent 80% support for Hamas in Gaza. An Arab from Gaza who left and converted to Judaism said 99% of them support killing Jews. This is the land of Israel we will not tolerate Nazis amongst us any longer
Thank you The Salukie. Hopefully, your dream will be true one day. Where all people in the region regardless of their creed, color, and race will live in peace and harmony. The warmongers on both sides should be stopped. The people in the region had suffered a lot and for long.
Stay safe brother. Sending love and tefillot from New Jersey. You need anything over there let me know, tons of family all around Israel.
Thank you brother
Nothing would bring us more together than good will and good food.
Thank you for your videos. Liked und subscribed.
Shalom wa Salam.
Excellent video. Its interesting to see the life at border towns of Israel
Thank you!
Well, both Hezbollah and Hamas are supported by the Iranian government. So really it’s a proxy war between Iran and Israel. I don’t include the Iranian people because they are separate from their government and most of them are very good people and they don’t want this war. At least the Iranian’s I have spoken with.
Israel supported us during 9/11. I support Israel. Mostly I pray for PEACE!!
It's was probably Iran trying to sabotage the Israel-Saudi deal.. nothing much more than that.
We also as Lebanese people from all religion we are spreated from Hezbollah and we want peace and love

Really great videos man, you remind me bald and bankrupt in your gonzo video style and some people know how to talk to the camera and people in a natural way, I could totally imagine hanging out with you. Also respect for the message you sent to Lebanon at the end. Saw a video where you bloody slept under a tree, takes big balls to live like that. Keep it up big fan!
Be careful about what you are reading in the comments "As a syrian", "As a palestinian",' As saudian"... hasbara is on fire as hell !💥
There are all reasons for Lebanon and Israel to live in peace!
If you elect an extreme far right government in Israel
You know it's not gonna end well, C'mon people this is not the Israel that I use to know..
Big up to Salu for carrying the torch 🔥
Israeli people voted right wing government most likely because of security threat (Palestinian terrorism) towards them. Had Hamas not terrorized Israel last October 7, there would be no war. Its a cycle actually, Palestinian will terrorize Israeli civilians, IDF will fught back. Palestinians will have more grudges against Israelis, Israelis will have more fears so they will tighten security. Then the Leftist media will magnify the situation and pro-Israel will support Israel and the cycle will go on. Hamas and Palestinians should stop terrorizing Israelis so that Israel would trust them.
I have come across your YT channel while browsing for some Israel/ Palestine solo travel videos. So far I have been impressed. You showed courage, integrity willingness to listen to both sides of whats going on at the minute. I have just find out your X account but you have not posted as yet. Take care and thank you !
God bless you, Ido, and stay safe! You're one of the few, who still pushes for and promotes peace between jews and arabs, who have so many things in common!
I swear this guy is unhinged in the best way 😂
From a Puerto Rican Jew!
Gracias hermano!
your videos are so special man
I just found your channel and it's really, really awesome (especially enjoying it from the perspective as oleh). You're channel is gonna be huge someday, no question.
I love Lebanon. I want to visit in peace. :)
Stay safe and thank you brother God bless you
Thank you, I will!
I'm a Lebanese American and I have pro Palestine views, but I just want to say I hope nothing happens to your city. I don't ever want to see people suffer and I surely don't want to see our countries fight. I hope that one day all people can live in peace, and maybe we as Lebanese will accept the Jews that left/exiled after 1948. Peace and love to everybody.
Great message in this video From south Lebanon ❤
Theres something so.....uniquely sweet about these IDF guys who are dressed so tough ready for a fight...they are tzadikim and we are grateful and pray for their safety daily❤❤ 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇱
Bro, your aproach is so spontaneous and natural, keep spreading peace and love that what the humankind need the most...we pray for peace and love to middle east and the whole wold from Macedonia. God bless you all!

You are an uncontainable spark in a world too often dimmed by caution-you're audacious, irreverent, and gloriously unapologetic. It's spirits like yours that have the power to weave together the frayed fabric of our shared humanity. Let's remember, we-Semitic people of the Levant, whether Arab, Muslim, Jewish, or Christian-are not just neighbours in geography but cousins in lineage. We all originated from the same cradle of humanity, a cradle set in the heart of Africa. Millennia have passed since our ancestors journeyed from that shared starting point, scattering to different corners of the Earth. But in the process, we've forgotten the undeniable truth of our common ancestry, our intrinsic human needs for connection, empathy, and love. Reclaiming these truths, living them daily through acts of kindness and love-that is the key to fulfilling the promise of our collective humanity and peace on earth.
I am your biggest fan and support Israel 100%.
I recall coming across your channel some years ago, I'm not sure why I did not subscribe but I am thankful that the algorithm has pushed your content back onto my feed and I made sure to subscribe this time! Keep doing what you do and keep staying true to peace!
Notice how that soldier says they want the west bank. How can you have peace when they want all the land. And yes in the Quran it does mention Jews were given the holy land, but it also says it was taken away from them for turning their backs on God. It’s also mentioned in Old Testament.
But they wanted it back 😂
Is your family Jewish iraqi? Amazing videos. Part of the world I don't have much knowledge about except reading history and news. Much appreciated 🙏🏽
Thank you! My dads side is Iraqi, my mom eastern european
