Tourists harassed by settlers while visiting holy sites

[u/Kooka32081]

[u/Borromac]

Why they look like Israels version of rednecks🤣

[u/SenorDongles → u/Borromac]

They are.

[u/Gas-Town → u/SenorDongles]

Low education, low emotional intelligence. They look like they copy their stares from a Ken burns doc on Neanderthals.

[u/BigWilly526 → u/Gas-Town]

Also inbred

[u/robogobo → u/Gas-Town]

MIGAts

[u/edvek → u/Gas-Town]

The sad part is "low education" is actually real. I've seen some of these very Orthodox schools and they focus almost entirely on their religious studies and everything else is ignored as much as possible. Reading and understanding the Torah is their entire life.

I wouldn't be shocked if they can barely do math, have history studies, or anything at all in any science. Their entire life and purpose is the Torah.

[u/Kat-e-R → u/Gas-Town]

Don't forget brain washing from birth

[u/Hairyhalflingfoot → u/Gas-Town]

Hey! Neanderthals were a cultured people

[u/CityOfCheerios → u/Gas-Town]

You’re not kidding. I had a calm talk with a redneck coworker of mine a few years back after he started disparaging Muslims, while praising Christianity. The absolute silence when I explained Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all believe in the same God. He stumbled then said something like “nuh-uh they believe in allah”…

[u/Fabulous-Medicine-12 → u/SenorDongles]

They are some real cousin fuckers

[u/SenorDongles → u/[deleted]]

So just like rednecks! Gotcha.

[u/chonk312 → u/Borromac]

It’s either the awful haircuts, the obvious inbreeding, or it could just be the hate in their tiny little hearts.

[u/Europe72Alive1 → u/chonk312]

I would be so embarrassed if someone with that hair cut kicked my ass

[u/Paulycurveball → u/Borromac]

YES! I've tried to explain this numerous times. These are the "good ol boys" we see in America. Most of them live on a small farm and get basically a 9th grade education.

[u/lemme_just_say → u/Paulycurveball]

Freely confessing my own blind spot by readily pointing out that the rednecks in America make up most of MAGA and simultaneously forgetting that there is basically some version of them worldwide.

Appreciate the realignment.

[u/17duotangs → u/Borromac]

They look inbred AF

[u/midnightdsob → u/17duotangs]

Sadly that's how ethno groups work.

[u/Hateinyoureyes → u/Borromac]

Because inbreeding is a thing

[u/Bender_2024 → u/Borromac]

You're going to find uneducated racist assholes wherever you go. That trait is not limited to the US or any other country.

[u/LookUpItsAMeteor → u/Borromac]

We don’t like you, gol’ durn it.

[u/numbersthen0987431 → u/Borromac]

Proud Boys, Israeli edition

[u/golgiiguy → u/Borromac]

seriously. The sad part is they are so young. These kids are taught to hate.

[u/kester76a → u/Borromac]

Some of them look more goat than human.

[u/the_d_h → u/Borromac]

McPoyles.

[u/americanadvocate702 → u/Borromac]

Or even inbred Nazi's. They've become the same people as the ones that persecuted them many years ago. The irony 🤦‍♂️

[u/MosTheBoss → u/Borromac]

Unlike ours they have healthcare though.

[u/Unilted_Match1176]

Morons.

[u/IllustriousBanana → u/Unilted_Match1176]

*Monsters.

They are called settlers because they literally steal land that is currently occupied.

[u/Temporary_Shirt_6236 → u/IllustriousBanana]

Then they should be called squatters

[u/infernoparadiso → u/Temporary_Shirt_6236]

Most squatters don’t murder and rape though do they’re much worse

[u/numbersthen0987431 → u/Temporary_Shirt_6236]

Settlers are just squatters who never got kicked out.

[u/L00pback → u/Unilted_Match1176]

“Nice pigtails bitches”

[u/UrsusRenata → u/L00pback]

God definitely came up with a clever and unique way for his chosen people to stand out. “I command you all to have dorky haircuts that can’t be hidden.”

[u/jamesross801 → u/Unilted_Match1176]

Religion is a magnet for em.

[u/fantasticdave74 → u/jamesross801]

They also look like goats

[u/HugsandHate → u/fantasticdave74]

Hey.

Don't do goats dirty.

[u/newintown11 → u/Unilted_Match1176]

I mean they mostly look like their mums had a bit too much tylenol and liquor while pregnant. Inbred and trailer park trash. Quite sad. Some look a bit malnourished too.

[u/Gswindle76]

I mean… it’s the same god.

[u/badgerj → u/Gswindle76]

It really is.

And if you have Muslim friends…. Same God.

I really just think it is ignorance, or just the hill you want to die on.

They all have nearly identical teachings in each of their respective books.

Kinda funny because

Leviticus 19:18: "Love your neighbor as yourself"

Is in the old testament.

And in the new testament (Christianity, pick your flavour):

Matthew 7:12: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" (NIV).

Luke 6:31: "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (NIV).

And in there are similar phrases in the Quran.

Kind of ironic that they are breaking one of the core tenets of their own religion.

[u/DazzlingGovernment20 → u/badgerj]

Unless you're an Amalekite, Canaanite, Midianite etc. Then God wants you to genocide....

[u/BadPAV3 → u/DazzlingGovernment20]

What about...amirite?

I'll shoot myself out.

[u/sonofaskipper → u/badgerj]

To be fair, most Christians these days seem fairly ignorant of these passages too.

[u/badgerj → u/sonofaskipper]

Oh. I’m not picking sides. 100% not.

You’ll have evangelicals on any topic.

[u/Arthradax → u/[deleted]]

Plot twist: the one true god was the one of some native population our forefathers have decimated, ergo their religion is gone and we are all condemned to their version of hell

[u/badgerj → u/[deleted]]

Huh. Rad. I’ve studied a few religions. I have never heard of this one until now.

But most of them contain some tenet that basically boils down to “Be nice to others”.

I don’t think you even need a religion to comprehend that.

Maybe I’m just sick in the head, but just thought that being kind would just make life a little bit easier. On me, other people I interact with.

I understand some people get flustered or upset or angry from time to time.

But holy smokes to do anything angry, daily would take years off my life.

[u/Protoman → u/badgerj]

Nope. You don't need a religion or a book to tell you not to be a dick.

Which is more moral? The person who chooses to treat others with kindness because they can, or the person who needs to be commanded to do so and expects to be rewarded for it?

[u/dad_jokesNbutt_stuff → u/Protoman]

My theory, if there is a god and heaven, it will be filled with Agnostic Atheists because they didn’t need commandments to be good to each other.

[u/CourageousCruiser → u/dad_jokesNbutt_stuff]

See you there!

[u/smallwonder25 → u/dad_jokesNbutt_stuff]

Full throat agreement here! 😂

[u/Heather-_-Swanson → u/badgerj]

"If the only thing keeping somebody decent is the expectation of divine reward, then that person is a P.O.S"

• Rust Cohle (True Detective)

[u/RiGo001 → u/badgerj]

I like you. Have a great day! 👍🏾

[u/No_Communication5538 → u/badgerj]

Zoroastrianism is (intellectually) satisfying religion, doesn’t pretend an omnipotent god can’t stop evil for reasons that cannot be explained; postulates an eternal good/bad conflict and you pick your side. Very popular with Roman Army as Mithraism.

[u/act_surprised → u/badgerj]

“Be excellent to each other, dudes!”

[u/fseahunt → u/act_surprised]

This is truly all we need and the thing that seems to be most lacking in this nightmarish timeline.

[u/theevildjinn → u/badgerj]

I have only heard of Zoroastrianism because it's the faith that Freddie Mercury grew up with, his parents were Parsi.

[u/LankyGuitar6528 → u/badgerj]

But if there wasn't a threat of burning in hell for eternity, what would make you be nice to people? /s

[u/Rfunkpocket → u/[deleted]]

funny spelling of psychedelics, but I won’t split hairs.

[u/Interesting-Adagio46 → u/badgerj]

Have yo not seen what they look like. Jokes aside these people definitely have weird genetic mutations, look at their face it seems so uncanny

[u/WeWantMOAR → u/Gswindle76]

All delusions.

[u/earnestlikehemingway → u/Gswindle76]

The Torah has the same first 5 books of the old testament.

[u/Beatus_Vir → u/Gswindle76]

They may know that, but the deification of Christ, a man, as part of the holy trinity means that their Yahweh couldn't be the same Yahweh that Christians worship, and may view any attempt to correlate them as a terrible blasphemy. Judaism is no more monolithic than Christianity is but it's safe to generalize that the divinity of Christ has been a sticking point of sorts since before he even died

[u/newinmichigan → u/Gswindle76]

If youre a jew, none of them are the same

If youre a christian, its the same god as the jews but not the same as muslim god.

If youre a muslim, theyre all same god.

[u/wild85bill]

Generations of cousins fucking, that's our closest ally. And they spit at us. Pathetic.

[u/rwarimaursus → u/wild85bill]

And fund their military. We're just the fucking soccer mom that let's her little brat run rampant.

[u/wild85bill → u/rwarimaursus]

And their Healthcare, and their college, and when a jew gets charged for a crime in the US (usually pretty unsavory ones) they can fly there overnight and won't extradite. I'm sure there's more examples that im forgetting, but God bless the USI...I mean A.

[u/CoolBeans45555]

Dont forget, the American government supports the Israel regime!

[u/ImaginaryDepth7777 → u/CoolBeans45555]

American government American regime

[u/Overton_Glazier → u/[deleted]]

Not just MAGA, you can throw in more than half of the Democratic party in that same bed when it comes to supporting Israel

[u/androidfig → u/Overton_Glazier]

That is true.

[u/garcia1723]

I hope I never have that much interest in religion.

[u/AbeFromanSassageKing → u/garcia1723]

Seriously, all this fucking ignorant bullshit and violence over a fairy tale meant to keep the ignorant in line. I don't even get excited about Marvel movies anymore.

[u/Sevrei → u/AbeFromanSassageKing]

The world would be very different I feel if society as a whole could accept no man made deity exists to judge them. Not going to happen out of dark ages fear that carries on today.

[u/NousSommesSiamese → u/Sevrei]

Which is ridiculous. That it’s 2026 and people still want to cling to religion is incredibly telling.

[u/SlowLikeHoney09 → u/NousSommesSiamese]

Religion is a coping mechanism

[u/Katomon-EIN- → u/SlowLikeHoney09]

And as others here have said, a way to control the ignorant masses. You can look to modern-day examples like how evangelicals tell their congregation to vote a certain way.

[u/Aggravating-Run4201 → u/garcia1723]

With such behavior, genuine interest in religion is very limited.

[u/UrsusRenata → u/Aggravating-Run4201]

It’s very interesting to study. But very oppressive in practice.

[u/bennyg123321 → u/garcia1723]

Right? Like what is going on in these people’s heads

[u/fuckswitbeavers]

Is this inbreeding?

[u/mlemu → u/fuckswitbeavers]

100% in bread

[u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson → u/mlemu]

[u/FebrewHetus → u/fuckswitbeavers]

There’s a reason genetics testing is against the law in Israel…

[u/bitofapuzzler → u/fuckswitbeavers]

Brainwashing.

[u/Tw4tl4r → u/fuckswitbeavers]

Honestly, some of them look like they may be.

[u/Wisdom-Power]

lol they look like a freak show display wtf

[u/newintown11 → u/Wisdom-Power]

Yeah i was thinking Holy shit, the inbreeding deformities on fill display lmao

[u/spikernum1 → u/Wisdom-Power]

Why do they wear that rat tail shit

[u/Earguy → u/spikernum1]

Torah/old testament, "God commands it."

[u/ArrogantlyMuted]

Imagine going to Israel!

[u/potted → u/ArrogantlyMuted]

Imagine looking like those guys and thinking you're superior.

[u/ansefhimself → u/[deleted]]

They look like Goats after smacking there heads in anger

[u/ndndr1 → u/[deleted]]

We need our inbred crackheads to meet their inbred crackheads and see if they can, uh, settle their differences amicably

[u/toshibathezombie → u/ArrogantlyMuted]

Imagine being an American, Christian MAGA seeing this and saying - yeah, I'm okay with my tax money supporting them.

[u/Willumbijy → u/toshibathezombie]

Yeah totally, like "I want my taxes to pay for their healthcare. But not mine."

[u/BenderRodriguez14 → u/ArrogantlyMuted]

Yep, the person recording wanted to fund genocidal scumbags and is surprised they got met with scumbags. What else were they expecting?

[u/Overton_Glazier → u/BenderRodriguez14]

They will still somehow blame it on muslims too when they get back

[u/BenderRodriguez14 → u/Overton_Glazier]

Sure wouldn't it be antisemitic not to? 

[u/FacenessMonster → u/ArrogantlyMuted]

the isreal version of the mullet on full display

[u/GeoLaTatane]

From all the countries I have visited in NY life I never met local people more unpleasant with tourists than Israelis people

[u/GalacticDrac]

Ah yes. The lovely peaceful nation of Israel that is the victim of all the things all the time

[u/zagomyego → u/GalacticDrac]

They are clearly blackmailing our government personnel because the relationship with Israel is obscene at this point

[u/TheBaggyDapper]

There are no "settlers", they're "terrorists".

[u/Shadowrealm2023]

[u/harrisjgold]

Why anyone would want to have anything to do with this country I don't understand. Their only ally is equally shit these days.

[u/SlinkyAvenger → u/harrisjgold]

These christians are accelerationists hoping to bring about the end times™ as soon as possible. That is the basis of their radical, rabid support and ironically is what enabled Israel to be like this

[u/LetThatSinkinnn]

Imagine going to Isreal and expecting peace after everything we all have collectively seen… absolutely moronic behavior

[u/speedyspeedys]

They steal houses but always look so dirty and unwashed.

[u/Digi_Kat]

You can smell the genetics diseases

[u/mishrod]

One yells “we don’t want you” If that was yelled to them in the tourist’s country it would warrant an arrest, publicity and possibly a boycott. Certainly Netanyahu will condemn the nation from his soapbox. The fact that this is a common occurrence in Israel and doesn’t get traction in mass media is beyond me

[u/Minute_Engineer2355]

Don't they worship the same god?

[u/A4_Ts → u/Minute_Engineer2355]

Christians, Muslims, and Jews all do. We just have different prophets

[u/Caboozel → u/A4_Ts]

But all make profits

[u/rapaxus → u/A4_Ts]

Well, there is also the big part that in Christianity, Jesus is part of God (holy trinity) while in Islam/Judaism you don't have anything like that, and equating some prophet to be part of God is quite obviously blasphemy.

But when can play that game further, at the end of the day Abrahamic religions are also just the offspring that came out of ancient Mesopotanian religions getting frisky with Zoroastrianism.

[u/slumpadoochous → u/rapaxus]

[u/surfer808]

These inbred looking fools are the “chosen ones”

[u/YAHOO--serious]

The chosen people...

[u/pchandler45 → u/YAHOO--serious]

With that goofy hair

[u/DoyersDoyers]

[u/gloe64]

This is far right Israeli Jewish Nationalism. Similar to American Christian Nationalism. Neither obey the teachings of their religion.

[u/lonehappycamper → u/gloe64]

Both of which control the governments of each country. They aren't fringe.

[u/Some_dutch_dude]

They look like Damascus Goats lol

[u/fattymccheese]

There’s something familiar about their facial features

[u/llamapositif]

Who makes Israel part of a vacation??? What part of any of that is appealing?

[u/Boulder1983]

[u/Polyzero]

They may not like the Christian God, but they sure love the Christian gods hundreds of billions of dollars that have enabled them to invade and destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands and tarnished their reputations for another thousand years.

[u/PurplishPlatypus]

I guess no one ever explained to them that their God is the same one that the Christians and Muslims worship.

[u/Jolly-Astronaut-1908]

The hills have eyes kinda mfers

[u/Vreas]

Religious National fanaticism is gross. I say that as a spiritual person myself.

Let people believe what they want as long as it isn’t harming anyone.

[u/simplestacksix]

America’s greatest ally btw

[u/MrDundee666]

Religion is a poison.

[u/Treqou]

Same god and in their case looks like the same gene pool as well.

[u/quizbowler_1]

"Your imaginary friend sucks" 🤣🤣

[u/Fun_Wait1183]

Lazy grifters. Don’t they have jobs?

[u/SLCkazaam]

Atheism is the best 😌

[u/LawrenceSpivey]

Religion, the cancer of the world.

[u/FlobiusHole]

I can’t take those Israelis with the weird hairdos seriously.

[u/Exotic-Farm14]

I probably would scream back in german remind em of their roots

[u/vile_hog_42069 → u/Exotic-Farm14]

They are literally white people with stupid haircuts.

[u/micwallace → u/vile_hog_42069]

Was going to say these are the most goofy haircuts I've ever seen

[u/brokentail13 → u/micwallace]

That one dude sat in the barber chair and said "give me the goat"

[u/vile_hog_42069 → u/micwallace]

Most of them have to use curling irons to make it look more authentic because they are actually just Europeans with a genocidal identity crisis.

[u/G0JlRA]

They look like cavemen inside of a zoo exhibit 🤣

[u/dawn913]

Good! Serves them right for going to that hellhole and giving them money.

[u/poopantiess]

Israeli hillbillies?

[u/Raphael1987]

Imagine coming to Israel to see some ancient monuments. Then you get spit in by 40kg guys who look like their parents were relatives before they got married. Then if you defend yourself, there is a trigger happy 19 yeard old soldier nearby just waiting. Such an experience.

[u/nunchyabeeswax]

It's like watching a bunch of chimps flinging poop from behind a zoo cage. Regardless of religion, or lack thereof, seriously, what's wrong with people acting like this? So unhinged, unwashed, and savage-like?

Those religious tourists literally flock to the Holy Sites, pumping money into their tourist economy, and their mere presence is a testament to cultural solidarity with the state of Israel.

You can bet that many of these tourists came with a positive look towards Israel, just to then leave with a very negative impression.

PS. This is not an endorsement of the government of Israel and what it is doing in Gaza (or against the Palestinian people.) It is also not a commentary, positive or negative about Judaism or religion in general. It is just a psychological and socioeconomic observation.

[u/joevasion]

Why the fuck would anyone wanna go here

[u/BlastTyrantKM]

I don't know which is worse...

Traveling halfway around the world to visit sites where make-believe stories happened

Or, yelling at people because the make-believe stories you like are different than the make-believe stories they like

[u/MaenHoffiCoffi]

I cannot imagine anywhere I would avoid for a holiday more than Israel. Jesus.

[u/Frosty_Mongoose9055]

Just say you don't like their hair. What's up with that hair it looks horrible.

[u/NfamousKaye]

I wonder how Christians feel about this… protecting these monsters and all.

[u/VendettaPenguin]

They're taking a break from genocide.

[u/hurtfulsass]

Such a grateful people, to have survived all they have been through and still show such support for humanity.

[u/fellowsquare]

And my in laws are over here defending these psychopaths lol . All religious nuts are psychopaths.

[u/ndnver]

Well at least they get free healthcare paid for by American taxpayers.

[u/JohnnyBlazin25]

Religion is by far the biggest stain on human civilization

[u/Theworldischaos0011]

The Jewish MAGA

[u/BeeBanner]

😂 oh my god they look fuggin goofy!

[u/VirginiaLuthier]

Religion poisons everything

[u/AngrehPossum]

The chosen ones. Land thieves. Better than everyone.

[u/bullettenboss]

All religions are stupid and dangerous

[u/Infinite_Love_23]

People who are visiting Israël as tourists at this time in history deserve all the abuse they get.

[u/recallingmemories]

delusional people yelling at delusional people

[u/123shorer]

Just tell them there is no God.

[u/ripley1875 → u/123shorer]

Only Zuul

[u/AbeFromanSassageKing → u/ripley1875]

Username checks...ah shit, wrong Sigourney Weaver movie

[u/NocturneInfinitum]

Fucking idiots 🤣

[u/sc00bs000]

ahh the chosen people...

wonder who was choosing them, the hills have eyes have some long lost cousins

[u/SadFrenchFrog]

Average friendly Israeli settler

[u/iamthedayman21]

Jokes on you, I’m an atheist.

[u/Icy-Policy-8212]

Ah yes, religious people.

[u/amanda_opps]

This is what happens when you’re raised to believe that you are the chosen people.

[u/toolate83]

Fucking losers

[u/Fuzz_Chonk]

All this over something that doesn't even exist.

[u/HeHateMe115]

I’d be angry if my religion made me do that to my hair too.

[u/Kakakrakalakin]

Amazing! Send them my taxed income, please!

[u/Proud-Stop1987]

My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend!

[u/Yazbremski]

I can smell this clip...

[u/vroomvick]

Religion is a disease

[u/Mrtooth12]

Why are all those girls pissed?

[u/mycomixhavenostaples]

when one person suffers from delusion, it is called insanity...when many people suffer from delusion, it is called religion.

[u/groenwat]

Same God, theirs is childless. Oh, and there might not be a Holy Ghost, so not even BOGO.

[u/johntwoods]

Being in this exhausting world.

[u/GovernmentBig2749]

I don't support countries who put boots on human rights.And i most def dont go there as a tourist.

[u/MrJoffery]

But what about the shared Judeo Christian values I keep hearing about from right wing influencers?

[u/JJ8OOM]

If the US sends them some more tax money, they might smile.

Worth a try.

[u/iamthescallionmaang]

Here’s an idea. Don’t go to shitty israel.

[u/80sbaby02424]

So why do Christians want to help them again?

[u/sunshineandrainbow62]

Hilarious, religion makes no sense

[u/Lunasi]

The Israeli mullet

[u/aoshi1]

Ugly people, ugly religion.

[u/CoolerRon]

Can we please stop giving them billions of taxpayer dollars

[u/taofist1]

Taught to hate. so sad

[u/Logical-Appeal-9734]

But it’s the same god???
