The Oldest City On The Planet: Jericho // Behind The Wall
Have you ever wondered when and where the first city in the history of mankind was founded?
Well, you’ll be able to find your answer in the West Bank of Palestine.
Situated by the Dead Sea and the border of Jordan, Jericho is known as one of the earliest continuous settlements in the world, dating back approximately 11,000 years.
It’s mind-blowing just to think about this number.
During my Palestine trip, I got a chance to stop by Jericho, so in this video, I’m going to share what this ancient city is like.

As a Palestinian, I am very grateful to you for showing people the Palestinian side through your platform. I come from Ramallah. My heart breaks when I think about Gasa and what has been done to us Palestinians for years (since 1947). Palestine is a holy place for so many people where Christians, Jews and Muslims are supposed to live together peacefully. You can see it in the faces of the people. We welcome everyone and only want peace and freedom. Please don't be fooled by the Zionists and the media. I live in Germany and know how manipulative the media can be. So please do your own research and form your own opinion. Thanks to the people who stand for Palestine 🇵🇸❤

As a Palestinian 🇵🇸 I think Victor is not telling the truth when it comes to our customs As he does not seem to portray an accurate perspective on our cultural values, especially when it comes to marriage. I can assure you that forced marriages are not a custom here. Victor here seems to have a huge misunderstanding As what he described is very uncommon and very untrue. I do not think he should associate any bad experiences he himself may have had with the whole of Palestine as at that point it is a form of generalisation and misrepresents the true beauty of our culture.

*Jericho* was occupied by Jordan from 1949 to 1967 then fell under Israeli rule until 1994 when it became part of the Palestinian Authority West Bank. Thanks to Jericho's good relations with Israel it is a popular tourist destination included in several tours. If all that, by the way, Jews today are not allowed to enter Jericho. Any area in the Holy Land that came under the control of the Palestinian Authority. Jews are not allowed to enter, move around, buy land, etc. Any area that is under the democratic Jewish state - *everyone is allowed,* Jews and Arabs, Christians and Muslims to do anything.

(The third is Safed & the fourth is Tiberias.) Jews are *only allowed* to travel around Hebron in 3% of the city. That is, 97% of the city of Hebron is closed to them. Arabs can walk in 100% of the city. If Hitler was alive today. He would probably have loved this city.. *Jericho, Schem (Nablus), Bethlehem,* where there is Jewish heritage and history of thousands of years - are now FREE of Jews.

The Jewish people are *indigenous* to Judea - Land of Israel. 🕎🙌 After over 2 millennia of forced exile, persecution, and genocide, the *(re)establishment* of *Jewish sovereignty* in our *ancestral homeland* is a remarkable story of *national liberation.* Jewish claims to the land are far more than biblical accounts. Our *religion, language, culture, holidays, rituals, liturgy, history,* and even the words Jew and Jewish are all inseparable from *historical Judea* and our collective longing to *return to the Land of Israel.* The land of Israel is where Jews became *a people* and the *oldest monotheistic faith.* It is where Jews *achieved sovereignty* before losing it and regaining it several times until much of the *indigenous Jewish population* was either killed or forced into exile following the *Roman Empire’s* brutal suppression of the heroic *Jewish revolt* in the second century of the Common Era. Though the Romans subsequently *renamed the land* Syria Palaestina, the Jewish people *never left* our homeland physically or spiritually. *Archaeological evidence* of Jewish life can be found in more than *30,000 sites* in Israel with antiquities dating back centuries. Even when we were massacred and persecuted by Christian Crusaders, Arab and Ottoman *invaders,* the British-led Jordanian Arab Legion, or more recently Hamas suicide bombers and rockets, our attachment *never* wavered. It is in this same land where Jews miraculously *revitalized* the Hebrew language, *rebuilt* the institutions necessary for independence, *re-engaged* in rituals that are uniquely observed in the land of Israel, *redeveloped* the land and the economy so that by several magnitudes the Jewish and non-Jewish populations grew, and offered refuge not just to the remnant which survived the Holocaust, but also millions of Jews fleeing persecution from the Muslim Middle East, Ethiopia, and the former Soviet Union. Today, Israel is a *rich tapestry of diverse citizens,* including over half of Jewish Israelis who identify as Jews of color and 20% of whom are Arab citizens. *Peace Not Hate!* 🇮🇱💙

Shut up no one cares we all know you lie and distort facts. 2000+ years ago is when jews tried to kill Jesus christ after denying him as a prophet. You don't get to claim its Jewish state while indigenous Palestinian Muslims and Christians both lived there in harmony. And I'm 100% positive we too have Jewish blood in our DNA, as most Palestinians actually came from the land. Unlike those imported from Europe to artificially inflate Jewish population since there were hardly less than 1% jews. The rest were Christians and Muslims

The Jewish people have an *unbroken presence* in the Holy Land of thousands of years. *Over 850,000 Middle Eastern Jews* made up the state of Israel. The *Hebron Massacres* and other pogroms of Jews by Arab Muslims throughout the centuries testify to their existence and the need for a two state solution which was *rejected* by the Arab Muslims.

'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it".* - Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937. *"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not".* - Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946. *"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria".* - Representant of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956. And after the *Six-Day War* the Arabs declared: *"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel".* - Zuhair Muhsin, military commander of the PLO and member of the PLO Executive Council.

The exile narrative in of itself is part of the problem. Jews resettled in Israel after their exile from Spain in 1492. According to the Ottoman census of 1848 Gaza and Jerusalem were mainly Jewish. All Urban centers in Israel today were at least 50% Jewish, even before the Jewish exodus from Europe. The ottomans loved settled Jewish tax paying citizens more than nomadic tax dodging Muslims. 50% of the Jews in Israel are exiles from other former ottoman countries like Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Egypt. Jews made up 5 % of the population of the former Ottoman Empire and the state of Israel got 5% of the land of the former Ottoman Empire. Sounds like a fair deal to me.
