- This video documents my journey out of Palestine through the night. A lot of hitchhiking and a lot of strangers' generosity can be seen here. This concludes the Palestine series, so until next time - peace in the Middle East ✌️

Hello! If you just found my channel through this video, and you only want to see content from Israel/Palestine/Middle East, please DON'T subscribe. If you want to see adventures from all around the world, please do :)
bro that first ride you got was sketched af.
i am talking about the one where you told those guys that you are a british tourist.
like idk if those guys were asking honest questions, but i feel like if you told them you were an israeli tourist, then they wouldn't have taken where you wanted to go, they would've either made you get out of their car, or they would've dropped you off in a bad area, or they would've attacked you themselves.
the way they were asking you those questions and how one guy was immediatelly translating your questions to the other.
but then again, they could have been totally innocent and just curious.
Like you don't sound british at all to me and i wonder how they believed that lol.
be safe dude.
I live in Israel and I never get to see the good on the other side, I'm happy you bring to light the goodness and kindness of peopls on the other side of the border, it enlightened me.
I agree with what you wrote. 👍
...And this is why, in spite of everything, there is still hope for mankind: There are good hearted people *Everywhere!*
I guess to know your neighbour is to love them..peace
I love how you get straight to the content without any intro, and this simple style is just way too good. Truly a hidden gem of the internet. Rock on brother!
Thank you brother !
I agree. Intros are low class. Thank you for being real.@@theSalukie
That highlights you added from Palestine was awesome when that person with you was singing. Made me cry, there are nice people as well as sinister people in this world. The people in power have brainwashed people into hatred
Wow, I’m glad it touched you. You understood the point I was trying to illustrate
@Right On And On I’m not in the Middle East anymore
Well it's easy to say that but if they knew he was Jewish he wouldn't of seen day or night. He took a big risk and he had a Romanian passport so....
@@Hannah-zt4jb Kind of like what happens to a Palestinian that get cornered in Jerusalem by a group of settler youth that decide to go out hunting. And of course the police are very helpful when it’s time to make the kill.
@@Hannah-zt4jb😂 ok i know that there was 3 person know he was jew n why he can came back? 😊
Love the way you present things without any stigmas .. keep up the grind .. you have great potential
هاد اسرائيلي يا سمعة 💔
الى مزبله التاريخ يا سمعه
Right after when the guy said Ramallah is the most dangerous city in the world, the guy started singing and you showed highlights of the kindness of palestinans. Man I literally had goosebumps at that scene!! Thank you for this experience and hopefully one day the people of Israelis and Palestinans learn to live together by overpowering the brain wash capability of the media and governments
He meant the place were I crossed, the city itself isn’t that bad. Thanks for watching, and yes hopefully 🙏
Ramallah dangerous!?
Lol no try miami or chicago haha
You can’t hitchhiking in america you will get killed haha
@@datingandlifeadvicechannel7534 You can't be bombed in Miami or Chicago, it's like telling miami is more dangerous then afghanistan.
Man, it’s amazing to see that you were able to show the good people, the human side and all the struggles in the Palestinian territories. Without judging or giving heavy political opinions. Just with a lot of sensitivity. Kol hakavod for not falling in the dehumanizing brainwash that our society installed against Our Palestinians neighbors and brothers.
Thank you Motty. I just showed reality. When I had uncomfortable situations like with the American girl in the previous video, I kept it in as well. This being the reality it's far to conclude that they indeed are good people.
Normal Palestinians and Israelis just want to live in peace really.... it's just politics....
Bro you deserve an award.. there are undercover agents who can’t do what you just did
Thanks man
Damn right habibi !.
I was nervous watching as an Israeli - Qualandiya is no joke sheesh.
@@jonstnr
that first car ride, where those guys were asking him questions like, "where are you from", "why are you here", do you agree that this was the sketchiest part?
I was nervous watching that part, even though its obvious he came out of it fine.
he doesn't sound british at all, so i wonder how the palestinians believed that.
@@Hello-ig1px Most people whose first language isn't English can't hear the difference between dialects. It's the same with every language, in fact. That's why they couldn't hear his accent.
It's like you have a superpower to make every single person you randomly meet like you and even start singing songs for you 😂 how do you do it man
Lol I dunno mate, I just like people I guess
LMAO@@s_mavi
Must be hard walking all day, carrying a pair of gigantic balls of steel.
😆😆
Epic cross over with the beautiful "serenade" that dude sung for u and all the Arabs/Palestinians that u met! That touched my heart! That's the true heart of God right there! Pure love for all people! I hope all the people who are imprisoned with hate or wrong mindsets will see your content & see, we are all the same!
You need to win Vlogger of the Year if there is such a thing. Absolutely no one is doing it like this. Criminally underrated.
Thank you my friend
It's also literally criminal, it's illegal under Israeli law to enter those areas for Israeli citizens
@@Skonmonlir ahahaha yeah I guess that’s true
Damn Vinnie Paz out here lol
@@az6802 I doubt Vinnie Paz actually watches my videos lol
Man your stress tolerance is on another level i swear, glad to see you safe ❤
This could have ended really badly, glad you’re safe.
Mmmm
yes an apartheid isreali IDF officer could have shot him
Wallah I have been so homesick I haven’t been home in 12 years and I have such a big identity crisis since I grew up in palestine and lived remainder of my life in America. This video shows me how loving and happy people are there and made me feel at home.
@Niro Pattar No he wouldn't have been killed. In one of his previous videos everytime he told the Palestinians he is from Israel they did nothing but welcome him. The pnly reason he hides it if anyone snitches he can get in trouble because he isn't suppose to be there.
There is no such thing as Palestine it is all Israel the faster you learn that the easier it will be for you to leave stay out there is no room for filthy goyim in Israel.
A question I wanted to ask about the whole Israel - Palestine situation. Unfortunately i’ve never met anyone from these countries, i’ve met a few Lebanese people and I always ask. The people, the Palestinians, what do they want? Do they want peace and coexist with the state that stole their home or do they fight to get their home back? What does the majority want? Most Lebanese people I know don’t recognise Israel, what about Palestinians?
@@iwillfreezeyou we want peace but at the same time too much has already happened,like so many people in Palestine have been killed,even kids.So to take all those lives lost,and sign a paper and forget abt it is Kinda hard.Especially when no one is being held accountable,so we went peace but it won’t change how many lives have been loss,we can’t just forget about them.

I very much enjoyed watching your videos and admire your chutzpah. I am from the US and in March 2019, (at age 68), I traveled solo for 2.5 weeks in Ramallah, Jericho, Nablus and Bethlehem. I found transport and places to stay as I went and walked all over. I had a blast. At least 40-50 times a day I heard “Welcome” and met so many warm, friendly people. I spent an afternoon at Balata Camp and met a man there who invited me for tea with his son and a friend. Palestine was Great.
Amazing work you’re doing bridging this gap between Israel/Palestine! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you! That’s the goal
Hey Man, huge respect and great videos. Can send a few Penny's t- shirts (It's an Irish "thing") as you have same t-shirt on. SHALOM From the People's Republic of Cork in Ireland.
@@liammulcahy9506 hey Joey I really appreciate the offer! I wear the same t shirt kind of like a meme, I do have other t shirts I just find it funny to wear the same one like a cartoon character. I do wash it between videos :)
This was an awesome series bro. Your videos will definetly build bridges. I hope for peace in our lifetimes. Love from the Philippines.
Love to the Philippines. I hope so too
I love the fact that:
a) Despite your best efforts, many people have figured out that you're Israeli / Jewish (I hate to say it but... looks are a thing). But also that
b) So far nobody appears to have cared.
looks are a thing, he legit looks like an arab in palestine, unless you're ashkenzi, its not easy to tell us apart, I get mistaken for ashkenzi alot even though im arab.
@@severalizer4749 and not all ashkenazis look pale-skinned either but then again, conversely, not all arabs are really tan either haha
@@severalizer4749 we're all cousins anyway and inshallah there will be peace soon
Love palestine 🇵🇸 from UAE 🇦🇪. I like your videos you respect others opinion . You wanted to show us palestine real image. Your channel will be big very soon
Thank you brother, time will tell inshallah
Yeah, I discovered him yesterday and I immediately liked his open attitude so I subbed to him. 👍
@@Theodisc thanks man appreciate you 🙏
As an Indonesian, I really hope there will be peace between Israel and Palestine in the future. Living peacefully side by side, respecting each other, and working together.
@@tobiascabrejas5154 in your dream...
Thousands already do.
@@kashoutlenox well, please wake up and stop terrorizing innecent people or kill military personels. I know how they want to play victim by starting attacking and terrorizing people and after government response them, then they play as the victims.. what a BS.
They are cousins and yes I agree with you that peace is better than the violence imposed by the Occupier and so called Settlers that are protected by the IDFs
@@ihs51 you all have it all wrong Islam has usurped all native religions and peoples of the middle east and occupied our lands
Can’t wait to see what’s next bro! Keep it coming!
Thank you mate I will
Wow you are so brave!!!
Hope you returned home safely ✌️
Crazy how quick the girls’ attitudes changed when they figured out your Israeli/jewish
Thanks you for your interesting content, learning a great deal. Seeing things compared to reading them has a greater impact for sure. The hope that someday there could be peace in the region is fading due to the conflict but people like yourself will keep my hope alive. Stay strong ❤❤ and love to all affected
The part where the chap was singing and you were showing clips of Palestinians you met was so cute :')
haha thanks :)
Man, Palestinians have to use that checkpoint everyday! It looks like a maze made for cattle, and you were freaked out just that one time and with a foreign passport, imagine what they feel every damn day ... Kudos for you for being curious and walking in another person's shoes
hey man! Idk if you remember me but I just wanted to say that im happy to see your channel growing and I love your videos!
I do, you've been here since day one! Thanks man
I got mad respect for you bro
Keep spreading the truth about how both people can be amazing
Watched all of your videos already. Keep it up and be safe. I seriously loved how you added clips from previous videos while that guy was singing. A very good touch indeed.
Wow, there's like 70 something! Thank you so much. I saw it fitting, the end bit. Stay safe
I watched every episode of your journey. It was awesome to watch. Thank you for your content, stay safe.
Thanks for watching Denis :)
@@theSalukie wish you all best, and many more trips
@@xdenox91 you too, all the best :)
Respect from Dublin, Ireland your content is class
Thanks, I appreciate you
Never give up man this channel will grow :)
Don't worry I'm stubborn haha
@@theSalukie Good Job 👍 😁
I have to admit, Johnny..
It's the boldness of your videos that I love.. getting with these two Palestinians who you never met at 1 AM was super bold and a fucked up thing to do..
Glad you are finally safe.
Haha thanks bro. My name is Ido by the way, Johnny was a fake name cus my real name is too Jewish
Tip for next time: hitch a ride with a yellow plate taxi and ask to go via Hizma to Bab al 3mood. Usually not hard to find. Occasionally you'll find a checkpoint at Jab'aa but usually not. Much easier than Qalandia which is a stressful balagan at the best of times.
Best series so far. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Chris! some cool things on the horizon
מלך!
אהבתי את הקטע ששמת כל מיני קטעים כאילו המחשבות שרצות לך בראש ❤❤❤ אתה השראה
תודה אח שלי ❤️
You are very brave! I would also love to visit both Israel and Palestine one day, hugs from italy
Gratzi, big hugs !
@@mikemichael5591 he lived his whole life in israel, but then he moved to romania and now travels the world
Oh my God .. I was anxious watching this video. You are a brave guy. Makes me sad.Most People irrespective of religion are good. If only we could all live peacefully as human being
He risked his life to bring us this footage. Amazing stuff.
great as always achi
Thank you bro
This was amazing. I love your humanity and honesty. Alot of peope commented about the girls but it also seemed like they where trying to protect you. They seemed concerned. If they had bad intentions they could have blown your cover but instead told you to be careful. You have to admit it was a dangerous situation. They could also put themselves at risk by talking to you. I think they knew you where sincere which is why they where not treatened by you but just warned you to be carful.
Thank you for the kind words.
About the girls, one of them made a TikTok about what happened. I assure you that she was not trying to protect me according to what she said there.
@@zoeyork8454 would rather not. I don’t want to give that racist lady clout
@@theSalukie did she make hateful comments? Could you repeat what she said or was it to offensive? A follow up video explaing that situation would be interesting. I noticed certain people you told, you are jewish and certain people you did not. What made you tell them the truth. Just curious.
Beautiful montage at the end.
Thanks man
Colondia is the most dangerous place on earth? For who? There were two young women walking their tiny dogs at 12:30 am. Looks safer than baltimore, chicago or detroit.
Wow bro.... it was amazing episode, i had a feeling that I lived it with you.
Thank you brodie. Glad you're liking them
Excellent videos! I love the way you share without trying to build too much of a narrative. Letting the video do the talking. It would be interesting to see these types of videos inside Israel. Perhaps visiting some of the smaller cities and towns that most have not heard of. I for one don't know much outside of Jerusalem.
Thank you! You will see videos like this in Israel, they've already been filmed and I'm editing them
@@theSalukie can’t wait to see more of 🇮🇱
Great video. Nice to see people just getting along

@thesalukie : you just got a new subscriber.wish there were no governments and just lovely people living together. The world would have been a very beautiful face however people like you make it a wonderful place to live.Keep spreading love brother. Allah hafiz. Cheers from india.
Man you're crazy 🤪 these videos are so stressful, they are nice until you meet that one person who isn't.. glad you're safe
Good videos btw
That was very awesome going through all the flashbacks of all the nice Palestinians that helped you in your visit while that guy was singing….someday hopefully you will win the Nobel Peace Prize 👍👍👍
Wow means a lot, thank you
Thanks for your awesome videos the Palestinians and hope the peace come the truth for them and everyone.
Unfortunately corruption, religious extremists and political fanatismism destroy on this world.
Well said Hector, well said. Thank you for watching
@@theSalukie now you are lucky, these guys does know the real British accent 😆 I do not know you did not tell you are Romanian lol
@@hector5203 because I don’t speak Romanian lol, better to say Latino actually
@@theSalukie my dreams to learn Romanian to be more Latin guy lol, I listening Romanian music.
Sii, tu eres bastante latino , papi 🙂☺️
What nice, lovely people. I'm so happy you made it home safely.
Kinda addicted watching your videos,so entertaining 😍❤️
I appreciate you !!
Respected bro just saw your channel now ... Became a fan... you deserve noble prize .... You are the best human in recent times. May god bless you..
When you spoke in Arabic I could still hear the israeli accent, I felt so anxious and that they would find you’re an israeli lmao, thankfully nothing happened
Yeah dude the Israeli accent is very hard to conceal in Arabic for me. I can fake an American accent at least
@@theSalukie you gotta hang out with the yemenite jews more haha and start pronouncing hebrew like they do and then it won't be as easy to be distinguished
We the Jordanians stands with Palestinian people 🇯🇴❤️🇵🇸
Then take them back to Jordan and out of Israel
@@roei89 🍌🍌🍌
The two guys that gave you a ride to Qalandia, they seem like really nice people.
They were great :)
I found you a bit late, but i love it that you show the world the good people of Palestine and be an example of a good Israeli jew. It made my day a bit better today.
Your videos are amazing!... keep spreading love and light!!
Thank you, I will :)

Thank you brother
It's beautiful. Crazy and courageous at the same time. There's a lot of love mixed up with the extremist fanatics. I wouldn't go there, unless God told me to! You going there shows me you have a lot of love in your heart. Love has no fear. The world would be a better place if we were all like you!
Thank you brother!
Friend, I wish you well with your particular audience, showing them the real goodness that exists in the other side. When I lived in Israel, I knew many good Arab people and I even visited their homes. I even had an Arab neighbour who I used to chat with from my balcony. Can I say something that won't help towards you getting your million subscribers, but it needs to be said. No need for you to reply, you can even delete my comment after you read it, no problem. since this war (starting October 7 2023) I think that something has switched in my heart and I believe it has switched in the heart of most moderate Israelis. We now understand the pure evil behind what took place. "Travelling Israel" (also RUclips channel) has said: "no one ever asks Palestinians what is their view of Hamas". I challenge you to ask them that question. How many of them will outright say that they do not support Hamas. What percentage of Palestinians would not vote for Hamas? When you go into these places like the West Bank, you go now as a "Brazillian" (I think, or maybe "Argentinian"). But I think that if I, as an Ashkenazi-looking Jew, went into the same areas you go into, I might not come out alive if one of those millitant fundemalists caught sight of me (if I'm wrong, I would not put that to the test!). Yes, to my previous comment, "love has no fear", but I think that I would have to sacrifice a lot to demonstrate that kind of love to these people, because they might just not look at my heart (love of God to all sinners), but they would only notice my Ashkenazi looking Jewish face. So where is the solution? I guess your answer would be "non-political" or "non-religious". OK fine, continue to get your subscribers that way, but where is truth? Where is absolute truth?
Yes man. Lovin the vids. Keep up the good work
Thanks Paul I appreciate it 👌
Again amazing video man, proving us again that people from both sides just want peace and to live their life.
Thank you man ✌
אחי אתה משוגע, אתה השראה אמיתית שלי, אם היה לי דרכון זר או חבר לעשות את זה איתו הייתי עושה את זה
תודה רבה מלך, תראה זה לא חובה - אתה יכול גם לטייל בירדן או מצריים ולחוות משהו דומה
I love this small sample of open and neutral mind regardless their identity and their ideologies ... That kind u belong would help bridging the gap ( different dimensions ) between Israelis and Palestinians or between other nations ... Ik it's a little bit tougher to break down the propaganda machines of governments ( and religious foundations for the fanatics )
But I hope having this kind of videos to show what others channels show up ...
I guess the two state solution is the unique and fair solution for both sides ... Giving concessions but I guess the Israeli government is not keen to restore negotiations back sadly .
I hope peace , freedom and safety for all the nations
Ay it's Ur alpple junction boy again , happy to see that ur out and safe .
It was a great series and it was a interesting point of view , tbh the Palestinians look chill for the most the worst person in the series was the American girl lmao.
Haha apple junction. Thank you, glad you liked it. Nice people indeed
Salukie Bro greetings from Macedonia. You did a great job whit all the last videos. It's just question of time when your chanel explodes with subscribers
Cheers to Macedonia! Thank you. I hope it will, I could use some extra $$$ lol
I feel bad for all the Palestinians that have to constantly go through checkpoints.
i´m Syrian and love your videos 👍👍
I'm from Palestine and i love you bro
Love you too!
This was beautiful
It's interesting to see you zig zag in the area that is no go zone for Jerusalem. All these complicated checkpoints with rules of its own and you came out in one piece and safe.
You have some huge balls bro. Good job showing the world what it's really like.
Thank you Austin 🙏
I loved the song clip!
Amazing summary of your trip!
Thank you :)
Is it forbidden for a jewish Isralian to go to Palestine (yes) but is it also forbidden for any Jew (i don`t know)? But i think you have both citizenships so this might be the problem.
So is it illegal for Israelis to go into Palestine or is it illegal for them to enter Israel through normal checkpoint ?
Its illegal in general
@@theSalukie 😬 but i did not understand why it is so dangerous ?
Im happy you made it alive!!!!
This was a really insightful video series. There are places in "developed" Europe less rich then "poor" Ramallah. The media image of a hell on earth over there is a lie.
Going to Palestine as a Jew is not dumb, I've done it one million times. But going with zero plan or escape route is so dumb. It would be so easy for this guy to avoid a situation like this with more careful planning. I don't know why he doesn't.
Same Brother We Love Both Peace 😃 🇹🇷♥️🇮🇱🇵🇸
I love how generous the Palestinians are🥺❤️
get a mini ebike with at least 25amps battery, it will save you a lot of time and you can carry it in the bus when you decide to go home
Mannn I really enjoyed this video series, as a Greek from Australia. I know a lot about these places and conflict, but found your take very fesh and I feel like I learnt so much. Thank you! What do you feel like you learnt from going to the West Bank illegally and back into Israel?
I’ve learned a lot, I’ll tell you now when I respond to your DM on Instagram
Nice man... I live in Ramallah and hopefully I will randomly see you there one day
Balls of steel... It was fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you!
he is successful because physically he can pass as a palestinian
This is such a warm video G-D bless
Great videos! Greetings from Germany
Danke schön!
Hahaha I could not watch I fast forward the videos to were he is in safety my heart was in my throat, thank God he went home safe, I pray for peace for all
Imagine going through there checkpoint everyday and getting up at 5 to get to work at 7
Sad reality, but Israeli citizens are not safe without those checkpoints. Hopefully in the future, it won't be necessary.
@@StanzArtz1 they're not safe because of those checkpoints
@@cfmoe5234 Haha nonsense. The opposite is the truth, they are safe because of the checkpoints. Explain your claim.
@@StanzArtz1 kids aren't safe because of the oppression they feel everyday waiting 2 hours to cross the checkpoint try it once and tell me what u feel after and imagine doing it everyday for 10 years
@@StanzArtz1 that's literally humiliation all this cause anger issues to a person not to mention even after you cross and they check ur Id they close the fucking barrier or whatever it is and make u wait for nothing just to cause traffic intentionally. And this is by car now imagine going walking u have to go through 3 of those spinning shit idk what it's called in English it's like an airport and they let 3 by 3 pass only then they close it there are like 4 of them but they open one only again to cause traffic and let people humiliated and u tell me what does that do to someone's psychology now u can write about this in an article and see how people would react
Well that brought back memories. I've been through the Qalandia crossing many times...but not as a Jewish guy😀
haha nice
One should look for the etymology of the word "Palestine"! It was never used before an event when roman emperor Hadrian, in 135 AD, created the word, as a provacative manner to try to bury the name "Israel", replacing it for "Syria Palaestina". Hadrian hated the Jews. According with historians and scholars, the term created by Hadrian comes from an ancient people, the Philistines, who were also fierce enemies of Israel.
