Phil does a good job of a day or two around Jerusalem. A city I visited only in 2017 and loved. I think this Phil guy, who I didn’t know until today, does a pretty good job of showing us around, without any gratuitous politics or religion.
The city is multi-ethnic, multi-religious, multi-cultural. All of which is not known by the Hamas-nicks in the U.S.. In American colleges. In the western media. Who continue to push the “apartheid” lie, and that it’s a story of White Oppression against the Brown Oppressed. Look at the people! They’re from all over.
It’s Jerusalem that’s the melting pot of the world. Where people make an effort, a successful effort, to be tolerant and kind to each other. It’s something they have to work at. And doesn’t come easy. But it does come and it does show the bright side of Israel.
Israel, especially Jerusalem: a place in the middle east I could live. Whereas there’s nowhere else I could actually live, as opposed to visiting. Not Egypt. Not Jordan. Nor Lebanon. And certainly not Syria. Not even Turkey. All of which I’ve visited, by the way.
Ask any person, ask any Muslim living in Israel, where they’d rather live. If Israel is a choice, then they’ll choose Israel. People are not stupid. They can see how much better Jews run a country than Muslims do. Fact. Uncomfortable as it may be. Fact.
Phil does Tel Aviv. Another place I’ve been to, and could live in. Where I would live in preference to other places I’ve lived in: Rome, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, New York, London, Sydney. ‘Nuff said?
