The Unknown Lives of Palestinian Christians // Behind The Wall
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2022
- It’s widely recognized that the majority of Palestinians are Muslim, but what many people don’t know is that Palestine is home to Christians as well.
Therefore, Palestinian Christians are often lost in the background of a conflict that is painted as being only between Muslims and Jews.
I got a chance to explore Bethlehem, a Palestinian city that is home to many Christians, and meet a local Chrisitian Palestinian, who told me what his life is like there.

I'm a palestinian Christian and there's no difference between us and palestinian Muslims , we are brothers
Together against Israeli oppressors! (And not against normal Jewish people!)
exactly, love you brother
love you bro ❤❤❤
@@sheriefelsayad5578 love you too brother
Hamas leaders wants to build a Sharia state. This means that the Palestinian Christians should be converted to Muslims in the future .
I'm palestinian christian! my family is from Akka and Nazareth! so cool to see us getting some recognition :)

@@machinegunlament it’s factual, those cities are in Israel, not palestine
I am a Muslim from Thailand. Palestinians Christians are my brother and sisters. I will always stand for Palestinians rights to be free from Israel occupation.
Palestinians consider themselves Palestinians first before considering themselves as Muslims and Christians. They are all brothers in blood that's why they love and respect each other.
As a Palestine and you are a 100% correct. I'm a palestinian Christian, Palestine being first. Are blood and roots run deep.
@@thecanaaniteYou should be a Christian first and Palestinian second.
Local Palestinians are very kind and hospitable, same as Filipinos. Looks like media really showed different side of Palestine. The mutual respect with different religions really matter.
I'm Yemeni and agree with you, Filipinos are kind people too.
as Polish are
Peace & love for all humankind.
But btw, why many Philippinos supporting israel? I was talk to many Philippinos in omeTV, they was supporting israel even teenages (14-19).
@@mhr0909because they are Christian
@@mhr0909 i’m sorry if it’s what you hear about filipinos.. i believe the main reason is because the philippines is a predominantly christian nation, so they know very much about the holy sites and the holy land that is in palestine. ironically, that’s where their knowledge about the land stops, they only know about, say, jerusalem being in israel, and don’t bother knowing about the establishment of israel. honestly and sadly speaking, when it comes to religion, we are collectively blind. i for one only had vague knowledge about israel-palestine before, i only knew about the racist construct of zionism. but i really educated myself on it, but frankly with what’s happening now it should be obvious how much the palestinians are being made to suffer. rooting for justice for palestine. palestine will be free.
It was great to feature Christian Palestinians in the video. This is really what we need in order to understand and value tolerance amongst people of the world. Continue to have such content, Wes!!!
Exactly, this is what's supposed to be. Thank you for watching!
@@NomadicWes Do u have email address I can reach out to?
Palestinians are so well educated. May God almighty bless them
It’s sad that the Christian in my country couldn’t even see the discriminations that Palestinian Christian endured. I read some articles about Christian Family from Yaffa and Tel Aviv was the first to get kicked from Israel. 😢😢😢
same sis.
Thanks for this video, it exposed me to a different point of view of a Palestinian Christian living there. An Indonesian who used to live there for 13 years said the samething, both of the Moslem and Christian communities are supporting each other. May Allah protects all of our Palestinian brothers and sisters there, every human count 🤲
Meanwhile Indonesian radical Christians are supporting israhell and killing their own countrymen in Sulawesi
It’s important to also highlight a thing people forget about always that Christian Palestinians and muslims are united in their struggle and resistance theres many Christians that have always been part of the Palestinian resistance as much as muslims also including irreligious freedom fighters such as leila khaled it was never a religious conflict
Also like shereen abo aqla
As a Lebanese this is very true. In my country their is a divide between the two religions unfortunately (and stupidly into politics). But in Palestine, the people do not have religious division. It is a shared struggle for freedom
as an irish person i know all to well how true this is about how national liberation struggles are always just painted with a broad brush of religious extremist conflict. they tried to say the ira just hated protestants despite having a minority of protestant fighters. pulling the religious extremist card to shape the narrative is one of the oldest tricks in the colonial playbook
George habash lives on
Muslims and Christians in Palestine are one hand and live in a big hermony❤.
I've just returned from being in Palestine and Israel for the third time. I spend time in the Aida refugee camp. So much compassion for the catastrophe happening there.
You should have zero sympathy for them. $40B in aid since 1994 to the Palestinians and they STILL have refugee camps? Where is the money going?
So happy To hear this from the christian of palestine, I'm a moslem Indonesian Really proud of you, I hope you safe from this current conflict that happens right now
What a lovely informative video I'm hooked to your videos I love watching your Palestine series, well said my Christian brother I totally agree with you colonization has harmed our progress. We Christians love our Muslim Brothers, I pray Palestine will get it's freedom from oppressors n the lovely country and it's people b blessed, I'm a poor man but god willing my desire is to visit the church of nativity in Bethlehem.
Thanks for showing the beautiful blessed country Palestine.
Respect Bro 👏🏻… greeting from Muslim 🙌🏼.
❤❤❤
I’m glad to see a Japanese person get involved in matters, especially this important.
Praying for all the good people of Palestine, Jews, Muslims and Christians who believe in the same morals and rights of fellow human beings, and against apartheid. Praying to God that you have your own state to live peacefully together soon.
Greeting from a muslim from Indonesia. We are brothers and sister in humanity. Wether we are christian, muslim, jews, atheis, hindu,budha. We all have equal right.
yessss❤❤❤
I know the man in the video and many more Palestinian Christians. They are the most friendly, passionate, amazing people you’ll ever meet.
The besieged Gaza Strip is home to a small Christian population of around 1,500 people. While international tourists and religious pilgrims can travel to Bethlehem freely, the Christians in Gaza must apply for lsraeli permits in order to visit their holy sites.

Sad very sad

Europe think they own Christianity. These Christian people are people from Jerusalem the birth of Jesus 😅

Thank you so much for this video. As a Palestinian, I appreciate your interest in getting to know us first-hand.
Thank you for showing this important video to the world. This is a documentary of the reality there. Could you please consider providing the full extend of his conversation to allow this gentleman a chance to speak out for his people, especially when freedom of speech is not given there. Thanks!
you took so much footage of palestine, thank you! im hope to see it myself one day but this is amazing until then xx
may the 7 year old palestinian boy rest in peace Amen 🤲🏽
If you listen from 8:40 you'll see how the Muslims are treated by Israel. And this is told by a Christian not a Muslim, thank you Saleem!
Thanks for the timestamp. Shocking. But not shocked at what that terrorist state does anymore.
im in tears about passing car checkpoint, where the christian palestine allowed to pass and they muslim friends got punished, so the idea to make jealous and hate each other by dividing them, divide et impera at work, like he said colonialisation strategy
Thank you much for these honesr videos and giving insight to those who have not visited. I really pray for the Palestinian people and hope to visit one day🙏❤️
Excellent and educational video. I am a teacher and will show your video to my students!! Thank you!
Wes, you are hero. You showed us the right thing.
Thanks. Heart wrenching to know the way a person expalined by example that israeli soldiers may clear christian to travel while may stop muslim for 2 hours ( in a bus) before travelling further
If the travellers holding a Philippines passport in West Bank (border wall) soldiers or immigration didnt asked any questions. They let u in like Israeli jews.
Yes, they are very wary of terrorism (like on Oct 7th).

I'm also a Christian catholic Christian and met a Palestinian Christian at our mall in the US He was selling handmade catholic arts made in Bethlehem. I loved it we bought two gifts for my sister for Christmas. I'm chaldean catholic my family was originally from Iraq. Iraqi Christians.

Wes that was fascinating. I could have watched for 2 hours. If you have more footage from this conversation, I urge you to post it.
Sad truth of Palestine. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸Free Palestine. Palestinians are very Patriotic, you can tell by This Christian man interview. They are resilient
I really appreciate this content to see what life was really like for them. Thank you for sharing. I hope for a miracle and god intervenes to bring peace.
The best Moslem-Christian relations in the world are in Palestine. Palestinian people are the best humans today. Greetings of love from me❤️🇵🇸❤️
Great video wawou. And I am impressed by how cultured and smart the Palestinian man is.
Thank you for your real informative video ❤
Wow thank you for this tour 😮
❤FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
Wonderful work Wes.
Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this 👍🏻
I would love to visit Palestine, but I’m scared of Israel and how they’d treat me.
Zionists are very racist
I'm from Philippines.
Appreciate your effort filming the truth of Palestine
This palestinian man is very smart. He noticed how they tried to use devide and conquer.
Thank you for sharing this video and thanks for learning and seeking the true stories of people. May peace and calm descend upon the Palestinians.
Come to Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei. There a lot of Muslims living in peace with other religions.
How good the video! Thanks Wes for uploading a new video from Palestine, I've been waiting for that 😅. Thank you very much for letting us know Palestine through your amazing videos. Greetings my friend.
Thank you, personally it was a very interesting experience to talk with Palestinian Christians
Interesting videos, I learned a lot about Palestine and Israel. I definitely subscribe this channel.
TQ for opening everyone eyes
The whole need to watch your video❤
this video deserve millions view !!
the bond between Christian and Muslim Palestinians is so strong, that in the first raids of the Nakba, the Israelis used to burn Muslim villages and killed a lot of them, some of the Muslims hid in the Christian villages, and when the jew told the Christians to hand over the Muslims they refused, because the Christians Palestinians refused to abandon the Muslims, they are both now facing indiscrimination by Israel and trying to erase their existence to always make it look like Muslim vs jews
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free ❤ thanks for your amazing content!
#Free Palestine #Free Gaza e Cisjordânia🇵🇸🕊🇧🇷
Love this ❤❤❤
❤❤❤ we stand with our bros and sisters in Palestine 🇵🇸
Love your video.
Thank you so much for making this
I am Muslim and have been to Palestine and know this is absolutely true even to the extent where I went to a Muslim shopkeeper in Jerusalem and he encouraged me to support the other shops of what he called his Palestinian Christian brothers. Problem is they all speak Arabic and you don't know who is Muslim or Christian because they are so integrated and have so much respect for each other. Unfortunately in my country most Christians here don't see it this way and give unwavering support to the oppressors because to them they are the chosen people.
4:12 This bow with the key upon ist now destroyed by israeli soldiers. Its so sad. Its the symbole of returning home one day because since 1948 they've kept their keys to their homes.
It’s the same if you visit Madaba in Jordan. You’ll find christians living alongside Muslims with no bigger problems
As it should be, and because also we both respect Jesus but the Jews don’t
Awesome video 👍👍
Palestinians are still Palestinians. Insya Allah you'll all be free someday ❤
Cristian in Indonesia should watch this cuz they are literally illiterate there were many Christain in Palestine who are also suffering from israel occupation
0:27 correction it’s between the world and zionists
great video ! I hope your friends in Palestine are safe
People said that "the more you travel around the world, the more you know that you didn't know"... really appreciate ur video Wes 👍
This is the reality on the ground
FREE PALESTINIANS AND GIVE THEIR LAND BACK.... 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
The Portuguese parliament has overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution recognizing Nakba Day or “Day of Catastrophe,” when Israel was created at the expense of the forced expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homeland.
The parliament also praised the Palestinian struggle to obtain the right to self-determination.
At the same time, the Portuguese resolution condemned the Israeli regime’s expansionist and annexation policies, emphasizing that the practices are in blatant violation of international laws.
what a beautiful society they live but those who shall not be named try to ruin it!
To all the palestinians who have suffered, I'm sending love
The Dutch used the same method when they colonized Indonesia, they gave different behavior between Chinese, Muslims and Christians, this is still difficult to cure, suspicion, sentiment and anger seem to be passed down from generation to generation.
Interesting conversation you had with your Christian Palestinian friend.
I have been a volunteer in the West Bank and have seen and experienced the reality of the occupation. Your videos are very interesting and well-balanced. I met Japanese tourists in Bethlehem who are totally shocked at what they saw as they do not receive any information in Japanese media of the reality in Palestine. Being an American in Tokyo I definitely spread the word.
I hope you can do the same
What's your opinion on the whole situation? Have you visited Israel too?
hello sir next time you go let me know i have a beautiful house in a beautiful village in palestine
What is well balanced about this? Where are Israelis shown in the videos he takes?
Indonesian Christians and the whole world should see this video.
こんな面白いトピックを選んでくれてありがとうございます！ ヨルダンからよろしくお願いします。🌷🌷
very interesting
Verry intelligent prospection documentary, made with hearth and love.
Thank you from spain
Palestinians stand together regardless of religion. That's a very smart thing to do.
There Is NO Diffrence Between Palestinian Muslims OR Christians , We Are All Palestinians and Have Bigger Struggles
Love Palestine people❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou
I’m also a Christian. I don’t think that Israel is trying to deliberately put a wedge between Christians and Muslims by different checking. I think Israel knows that Christians never harm Israelis by ‘martyr operations’ like Muslims sometimes do.
Eeeh yeah you kn more than them I guess lol
@@ghofraneoueslati7258well,, yeah.. I’m a Christian, married to an Israeli so, yeah! I have my own experiences with it..
I also have experienced that Muslims do their utmost to give Christians the same so-called 'discriminatory' feeling that they experience. If there is even one Jewish fool who is rude to a Christian, they are more than happy to make a big deal about it and emphasize it enormously. This while there are lunatics all over the world who are racist or extremist. The vast majority of Jews in Israel are very welcoming to Christians. Even in places holy to the Jews... while under the name of Christianity, Jews have not always been treated well... that is different with Muslims. Christians are welcomed in their shops when they come to spend money, or they are welcomed when they speak out against Jews, but as soon as a Christian wants to visit the Temple Mount, for example, that tolerance quickly turns to hatred, discrimination and exclusion. Christians are always welcome to visit, pray, read their Bible or show emotion at Jewish (and therefore also Christian) holy places.. Try to visit the Temple Mount as a Christian. You will notice that it is almost impossible to visit it as a non-Muslim.. And if you manage to visit, try to pray, read your Bible or show any emotion towards the place. You'll have a whole different experience than.. The Muslims guards there send you away and will scream to you as if you were a pig..
Apartheid at its finest…

Very nice
Palestine 🇵🇸
9:24 yep i definately believe that now
I’m Palestinian Christian from nablus 🥰
2:52 , if i may add, the low main entrance for it to be pretty low looks like some ottoman buildings i have encountered in Turkiye, and it was said that it's intended to be built low like that so that people who entered it will bow and enter the grand building with humbleness by bowing and lowering their body, its pretty much like the japanese, right ? 😊
Yes I thought of that as well
dont be surprised, indonesia have 6 religion in comunity and we never have any problems with our diversity 😊
nice journey to the Holy Land
I wonder if any of these people have survived this genocide.

This was such a great video for showing us how little we know about the real Palestine
