same, it will stay with you. The place is really really special, if it was still the Palestinian territories as a whole, you'd have Jewish quarters, Christian quarters, Muslim quarters across a vast wide area. Places like Jerusalem would have the best mix of Abrahmics, and not only would you have gotten perspectives from everyone there, you would have been able to enjoy all the different variations or styles of the same foods, like Hummus etc.

Now it's just all "Israel" and then to make up for that robbed vibe, they literally steal recipes and cultures to try recreate it.

Real shame.

ah man, imagine being able to wander from one side to the other, just roaming around unscathed or worried about being shot or bombed by some radical zionist?

Eating your falafel while you walk the ancient streets of Jaffa or Ashkelon or wherever tbh, just looking for "God" or whatever.

Honestly, I really would love to visit the entire region. Pretty much anywhere Israel wants to colonize is likely a great place to visit from a historical perspective. Hell, not a Muslim, but even the whole 'Pilgrimage to Mecca' always seemed like a very interesting thing to experience.

You should go in disguise and bring this as a guidebook - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4657

Capt. Richard Francis Burton was a lunatic, in the finest British tradition.

"Entering the holy city of Mecca disguised as a Muslim, Burton undertook this journey amid considerable risk to his life as a Westerner. His pilgrimage, part of the hajj required of Muslims, involved not only a physical journey but a deep commitment to understanding the cultural and religious practices of the region. He meticulously prepared for this venture, studying the Arabic language and customs, and even undergoing circumcision to authentically embody a devout Muslim.

During his six days in Mecca, Burton visited numerous sacred sites, including the Kaaba and Mount Arafat, while documenting his experiences and observations. His accounts later culminated in a three-volume work that gained widespread acclaim in England, making him a notable figure in the field of travel literature. "

Im a red head. Could prob pass for a Muslim from The Caucuses. A Georgian perhaps🤣

The thing is, now you need a special visa to attend pilgrimage, you can't just attend freely like before.

I dont even have a valid ID or a passport right now. I couldnt even board a commercial flight🤷‍♂️
