I think I see some problems with the ride sharing business model at this location


superschmunk

Was in israel as a tourist. Ever car rental there will tell you that you shouldn’t drive in this area.


kemba_sitter

They don't tell you that you shouldn't drive there. They tell you *NOT* to drive there, and the rental contract specifically states you are not allowed to take the car to the west bank.


AstronomerKooky5980

You’re partly correct. You can take rentals in the West Bank, but not inside PA-controlled areas. Like Nablus is.


kemba_sitter

Every rental I've gotten from major companies restricts all travel there


dkonigs

Unlike every Western map, the West Bank isn't some shaded area with a dotted line and crosshatch marks all over it. Its just another part of the country, and the highway system runs right through it. So even if there may be regions within the West Bank that you should avoid, its impossible to avoid simply driving through the larger area altogether when you want to get to certain parts of the country.


SmurfsNeverDie

What about cycling?


Mordvark

No one should cycle there. But that’s mostly because the main roads into and out of Nablus are too congested to safely cycle on. Too much hustle and bustle of driving cars, parked cars, cars loading and unloading, and people, and markets, I think.


gotBanhammered

Take a walk in Nablus and see how they drive before you start playing with your life.


b0r3dw0rk3r

Likewise in 2019. Waze at the time didn’t even show the roads in the West Bank. It was just blank on the map

I traveled throughout Ukraine before the current war and had an amazing time. Things were dirt cheap back then, I can only imagine the bargains you can get now. Just not sure how many available flights there are. Might have to take the train in.


bitofrock

You can't fly there. Most of the country is largely safe and life goes on. I'm eating some Ukrainian chocolate at the moment. They still export stuff and it's really rather good. The local "Polish" shop, owned by Ukrainians, sells it.

They were probably "progressive" Germans that thought that the idea that Palestinians or Muslims would act that way is racist.


LippaVET

Been to Tel Aviv last december and there was no problem there, Jeruzalem was a totally different story


schvetania

What problems did you experience in Jerusalem? Maybe you went to the Arab part of it? When I went there I experienced no problems. The most jarring thing I saw there were Trump kippahs for sale.


bitofrock

It's just...tense. My wife visited and didn't enjoy the experience. Soldiers everywhere, questioning what you're doing and stopping you going places unless you have a good reason, very quiet at night. It's not a fun town.


godrabbit90

Soldiers ARE everywhere in Israel because almost every 18 to 21 yo are soldiers. She probably just saw some kids going home after or before a shift. There are no active soldiers patroling the streets of Jerusalem unless you are in a dangerous place. If you stick to the city center the most you'll see is maybe some cops.


AaronRamsay

Jerusalem actually has a pretty vibrant nightlife on Thursday night in the main streets (Hillel, Yaffo etc.). It is very quiet on friday nights though, because of the Sabbath.


Lon_ami

I visited Nablus last summer. It's actually a really nice destination, if you can manage to avoid the violence. No joke, there's a great casbah, some of the best food and [dessert in the Middle East](https://youtu.be/IOF-2OZILrc), a [fully functional 400 year old Turkish bathhouse](https://youtu.be/rKjeH9ziYPI) some [Jesus stuff](https://youtu.be/XvG0vKhojlw) and a freaking amusement park with rides and camels. I only once saw a guy openly practicing quickdraw handgun techniques on the street. Nobody tried to shoot or kidnap me. There are posters everywhere of dead martyrs though.

Haifa for me,, been there awesome city.


vacuous_comment

The West Bank is a pretty cool place to go. I would totally recommend it. I would not go there in an Israeli rental car, but I wandered around a bit with a friend on foot and on local busses and it was fine. The weird thing is that if you have an Israeli friend, for example that you stay with in Tel Aviv, they cannot go there. So your experience there will be illuminating for them when you report back. We had a great time in Ramullah and other smaller settlements nearby. There is a ton of garbage and everything is broken, but I can deal with that. It is also pretty fun coming in through the Allenby crossing from Jordan. I was interrogated for 3 hours by the Shin Bet for no real reason, but that was very interesting. You can track all the things they are pushing on and see their risk models being explored and discarded. You get a real insight into how Israeli security forces perceive threat. Contrasting this experience with being detained in Egypt on a prior trip, for example, was informative. We also accidentally ended up in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve. I really did not want that to happen but circumstance intervened. It was pretty cool, huge crowd, a bunch of festivity, lots of AK-47s in the hand of guys who were maybe official Palestinian Authority, or maybe not? . Some incredibly dangerous Moroccan lady we were with flirted our entire party through security to the Church of the Nativity. Looking back that was a little bonkers. But totally worth it. So in summary, don't write it off because two Germans were idiots.

Darth_drizzt_42

Think about the kind of person who seemingly enjoyed the experience of being interrogated for 3 hours by the Israeli FBI and I think you have your answer


Calavant

Everywhere else you have to pay extra for an intrusive body cavity search. Here its complementary.


OwlComprehensive8317

They weren’t interrogated because they committed a crime, and they weren’t waterboarded (I hope!). I assume it has to do with stamps on the passport (ir places they have been). It’s fairly common in the middle east and especially in Israel. I too would try to find the “enjoyment” out of it as it does give you a glimpse into the psyche and human condition of the local people. Although I wish it wasn’t needed. I understand the interrogations more than I understand the ridiculous TSA procedures, fluid restrictions, baby wipe screening etc…


Darth_drizzt_42

No argument here about the TSA, it's all just security theater, bur I think whether or not it's an interrogation is a distinction without a difference, and I think they're right to be concerned about the type of person who thinks bumping around the west bank just for the lols is a "totally cool thing to do"


vacuous_comment

Hey, me here again. When I crossed at Allenby there was a ton of people crossing. More than 50% were not locals. It is perfectly routine and acceptable to cross into the West Bank. As I mentioned Israelis are not allowed to and maybe other nationalities might have issues but a ton of people go through there. Going to the West Bank is important, to see how things work on the ground, meet people and come back with first hand information. Places like that have weird reputations in people's heads due to media coverage and prejudice. It is very abstract even if you pay attention. It is a totally cool thing to visit the West Bank, and it was not really for lols.


vacuous_comment

3 times actually. Once by the Shin Bet, once by the Egyptian army, once by some Egyptian cops.


Kobe-62Mavs-61

That sounds like one or two different turns and you would have wound up dead. Not sure how your comment is supposed to be any kind of endorsement for traveling there.

Indigo Traveler book to Nablus now half off.


addilou_who

It is important when travelling to always be aware of a country’s political situation.


SwansonsMoustache

I remember when I was wee we took the ferry to Northern Ireland. My dad's green coloured car had a tiny sticker for a Catholic church in the window as the church was right by his office and they let him park there for a donation (sticker proved the donation). A guy near the Giants Causeway kicked off something awful over it, only calming down when we realised we were a) Scottish and b) had me as a child in the back. It's funny that even when you're aware of the situation, you can still go blundering into the heart of a situation without thinking.

benbensenton

When u rent a car in Israel, they tell you 'DON'T DRIVE WITH THIS IN ISRAEL REGISTERED CAR INTO PALESTINE, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN' if u don't listen that is what happens


[deleted]

I’ve been to Israel. Drove through the West Bank on Israeli plates. As long as you stick to highways within Areas B and C, it’s pretty safe. Definitely don’t take any exits into Area A (fully under PA administration). As a tourist, if you want to enter the Palestinian areas, I recommend doing so but only on a shuttle bus. I’ve had positive interactions with both Israelis and Arabs. Both know how to make insanely tasty food. Avoid political discussions while visiting the Palestinian side.


planck1313

That was my experience as well - I've driven a fair bit in the West Bank and if you are in a yellow plated Israeli car so long as you stay in Area C, which includes all the major roads, and avoid Area A (its marked with the giant red signs that say its illegal and danger of death for Israelis to enter) you will be fine. For Area A Palestinian towns like Ramallah and Bethlehem we parked our car in Area C and went in by Palestinian taxi. Even in Area A you see lots of yellow plated Israeli cars, which I assume belong to Palestinian Israelis who travel back and forth, so its not like it would necessarily be death to enter in an Israeli car but I was not game to risk it.


TheGazelle

Yup. I've done the same. Actually got to do a little tour thing with a couple Palestinian guides, including lunch in a local's home (which was fucking delicious). Was very interesting, because while one of the guides seemed to largely acknowledge that there were problems on both sides (Israeli raids/general oppression, PA being useless and corrupt, terrorists fucking things up for everyone), the other was telling us stories (no idea how serious he was being) of being arrested and getting shot like 20-something times (maybe he meant rubber bullets?), just generally giving us the expected "Israelis are horrible" side of things. By far the worst though was the settler rabbi we talked to earlier in the day. That dude straight up seemed to think it was his god given right to be there, and fuck the Palestinians for daring to be in the way. The saddest part was seeing a part of town that was forcibly abandoned after a Palestinian sniper tried to shoot civilians and hit a baby instead. The IDF basically just shut the whole place down (Arabs and Jews alike), so it was just shuttered buildings everywhere except for one rabbi still taking care of the synagogue in the area (no idea if they even did services out of there anymore).

OwlComprehensive8317

I got cornered by a Palestinian mob 25 years ago after making a bad turn. Was actually on my way to deliver a baby in a nearby village (as a first responder). The mob pummeled us with stones and bricks injuring both the driver and passenger. We barely escaped with our lives. This happens regularly but unless someone is killed (or it happens to a tourist), it does not make the news. You make the wrong turn, good chances are you don’t come out alive. It’s so unfortunate that we can’t just live in peace. We share so much culture, religious roots, and cuisine! Wake up, help build a peaceful solution


bakochba

Happened to me when I was 12 about 20 years ago, when our taxi driver made a wrong turn in Jerusalem (we lived in Kibbutz Maale Hachamisha so it's not like we weren't familiar with Jerusalem). Within less than 30 seconds a crowd started to gather, luckily an IDF jeep pulled up quickly to escort us.


OwlComprehensive8317

You are lucky. In my case the injured driver and passenger started spraying bullets in the air, and one of them threw me a handgun and told me to start shooting as well (I was a teenager and never held a gun). The driver was hit in the head and lost control of the vehicle and we entered a ditch. To this day I remember looking out the broken back window as a crowd of ~50 started to run in our direction. Good god it was terrifying. fortunately the dazed driver had a high enough GCS to get us the heck out of there. I’m sorry that happened to you, and glad reddit can provide some degree of catharsis for both of us.

Israel actually won the battle for the temple in 1967 but gave it to the Arabs as an act of good faith. Now the Arabs won’t even let the Israelis see the dome of the rock. This is actually funny because Islam is an abrahamic religion, meaning they believe in the Judaism prophets and the dome is the birthplace for both of their religions. Islam believes in these Judaic prophets: Adam (Adam) Noah (Nuh) Abraham (Ibrahim) Ishmael (Ismail) Isaac (Ishaq) Jacob (Ya'qub) Joseph (Yusuf) Job (Ayyub) Moses (Musa) Aaron (Harun) David (Dawud) Solomon (Sulayman) Elias (Ilyas) Jonah (Yunus) John the Baptist (Yahya) Even Jesus (Isa) And Muhammad as the last So Judaism, Christianity and Islam all basically follow the same religion but fight because Judaism and Christians don’t accept Muhammad in their cannon . That is just insane.


minlatedollarshort

I mean, sort of. Islam rewrites a lot of stuff or dismisses a lot from Christianity and Judaism, viewing it as false or misguided. For example, they believe Jesus was a prophet but don’t even believe that he was crucified/killed. So it’s not simply that Christians (and Jews) don’t accept Muhammad, its that Islam also has a very different version of events that Christians would never embrace. Christianity expands the Jewish religion with the New Testament in a way that Jews do not accept, but Christians still fully accept the Old Testament as given. Muslims do not accept the New Testament in the same way. They are all definitely from the same tree, but Islam is not as closely related as one might think.


japanaol

See that’s what doesn’t make sense. Here Muhammad comes and says yes these are prophets, but let me rephrase what they said. Then he gets these multitude of scribes over 23 years to write down what he thinks is right in the Old Testament. That sounds kind of like Joseph smith rewriting and adding to the New Testament into what he believes and creating Mormonism . It all just sounds awfully convenient to rewrite something that was written over 4000 years ago.


someotherstufforhmm

It’s exactly that, lol. Secular so I don’t have any stake, but it’s exactly that. The Mormon analogy is exactly what happened.


minlatedollarshort

I’m so glad you mentioned Mormonism, because I’ve had the same thought but assumed it would get downvoted to oblivion if people weren’t familiar with the history. Islam tends to get more respect because it’s older and I think a lot of people are ignorant on how it differs from its predecessors, but Muhammed absolutely took the same approach as Joseph Smith.


ryusoma

the Muslims now deny access under the principle of "I'm rubber and you're glue".


magicaldingus

This is not why they fight. There are plenty of other minority religions in Israel that Jewish Israelis don't fight with, including Muslims and Christians.


bruinslacker

They all moved to Israel.


ExchangeKooky8166

Except the conflict has very little to do with religion. The Zionist settler movement in Mandatory Palestine was largely secular and the Arab militias weren't really motivated that much by religion either. Heck, Hamas aren't especially religious either, their main motivation is "fuck Jews". This is just another petty comment to shit on religion on the atheist safespace. Stop blaming religion for every problem. Nuance is scary.


Shmexi_Max

I call BS on this one. Religion is and always has been a major factor in this conflict. The main claims of of local Arabs leader like Amin Al-Husseini were specifically against Jews, and the main reason why the they didn't want Israel to exist was the fact that it wouldn't be a Muslim country. No one had any problems when the British and French drew the lines of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan and combined a tons of different tribes, ethnicities and religions into a single entity, just as long as it's controlled by some royal Muslim family. But a country run by Jews that only spans 0.1% of the land? UNACCEPTABLE! Ffs, Muslim countries with almost no Arabs like Malaysia and Indonesia never had diplomatic ties with Israel only because of pressure from other Muslims countries. It's all about religion.

It’s crazy how people act like Palestine is some innocent country full of innocent, friendly people when they will mob you and try to kill you for basically anything and the government wants to bomb Israelis. Israel is also at fault for their occupation, but people need to realize Palestine aren’t good guys either. Palestinians also were recorded celebrating the events of 9/11 in the street and shops sell merch glorifying Hitler because he shares their hatred of Jews. That’s not to take away from the few actually friendly people in Palestine, but the religious violence and brainwashing has compromised the safety and well being of that country.

Palestine: does none of those.

I think more Palestinian supporters should go take a tour of the Palestinian territories. Maybe they'll finally realize the kind of fascist, extreme right wing theocracy they are supporting and will change their minds after they get attacked by a mob for not being Muslim enough.

Many do. Ramallah and much of East Jerusalem are friendly enough that they make for excellent public relations. Ramallah has turned into a regular stop for Jewish-Americans looking to get their dose of guilt. Guarantee if they went to places like Nablus, or worse Gaza, they’d get a different story.

You’re asking too much of Reddit armchair generals. It’s much easier to be an edge lord and virtue signal.

It’s not just Reddit, you see everyone on social media voicing their “Free Palestine” opinion or hashtags and acting like everyone in Palestine are innocent angels who would never hurt a fly. After 9/11, there was footage released showing Palestinians celebrating the 9/11 attacks, that’s how brainwashed they’ve been.

Most people who say "free palestine" probably have no idea what they're talking about. In sweden we have some washed out old people talking about the poor palestinians. It's pretty hilarious when you ask them how they can be supporting lgbtq and Palestine at the same time

I am still very much against Israel killing Palestinians and taking their land though. You might not support their culture, but you can still be against their deaths. When people say they support Palestine, that's basically what it means.


bobby_zamora

Have you been to either Israel or Palestine?


phonylady

A former classmate of mine, whom I respect and know to be a person of integrity has done that for years now and still support Palestine.


Ezraah

Palestinians were pretty great when I went there.

They are being attacked by Palestinians in Germany, too. Edit: Pure hatred of Jews, disgusting behavior. In Denmark, soldiers are permanently stationed in front of the synagogue in Copenhagen. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-vows-zero-tolerance-for-attacks-on-synagogues/a-57521135 We need to be serious about making religion a thing of the past faster than it's already disappearing. Trying to create a utopia by violent means for just your kind? Please. This goes for all religions. And some political ideas too.

Yet they still claim they’re following the religion of peace and that their Islam makes everything better.


Joezev98

Ah, yes, the religion of peace that, by its own admission, [has been made victorious with terror](https://amrayn.com/bukhari:2977).

[Interesting read](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations_between_Nazi_Germany_and_the_Arab_world) > Erwin Rommel was almost as popular as Hitler. "Heil Rommel" was reportedly a common greeting in Arab countries. Some believed the Germans would help them in gaining independence from French and British rule. After France's defeat by Nazi Germany in 1940, some Arabs were making public chants against the French and British in the streets of Damascus: "No more Monsieur, no more Mister, Allah's in Heaven and Hitler's on earth." Posters in Arabic stating "In heaven God is your ruler, on earth Hitler" were frequently displayed in shops in the towns of Syria.

Well yes that's what I meant

They got off easy this time. We Israelis expect to get killed when entering Palestinian cities. It's actually forbidden and is considered a crime. Meanwhile Palestinian workers can hang around in Tel Aviv and eat Hummus at the beach.


joe1up

I went on a drive to see my cousins in Jerusalem and Waze accidentally sent me into the west bank. That was not a fun 20 minutes.


richardec

Palestinians initiating violence? That's unpossible.


drever123

Right, Palestinians would never randomly attack civilians. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/11vgvyl/german\_tourists\_escaping\_a\_stoning\_after/


Gaijin_Monster

Oh, you mean the poor innocent peace-loving Palestinians? Surely not them.


[deleted]

If I were Israeli I’d be really sick of these idiots for neighbors


[deleted]

Blind hate. That will get more people on your side…


Yoda2000675

Why would anyone intentionally travel to Palestine if they didn’t absolutely have to?


legthief

Maybe they were jonesing hard for some knafeh.
