ATTENTION THIS IS HAPPENING BEHIND DAMASCUS GATE JERUSALEM!!!!
Damascus Gate (Arabic: باب العامود, translit. Bāb al-ʿĀmūd, Hebrew: שער שכם, Sha'ar Sh'khem) is one of the main entrances to the Old City of Jerusalem.[1] It is located in the wall on the city's northwest side and connects to a highway leading out to Nablus, which in the Hebrew Bible was called Shechem or Sichem, and from there, in times past, to the capital of Syria, Damascus; as such, its modern English name is Damascus Gate, and its modern Hebrew name, Sha'ar Shkhem (שער שכם), meaning Shechem Gate, or Nablus Gate.[1][2] Of its Arabic names, Bab al-Nasr (باب النصر) means gate of victory, and Bab al-Amud (باب العامود) means gate of the column.[1] The latter name, in use continuously since at least as early as the 10th century, preserves the memory of a Roman column towering over the square behind the gate and dating to the 2nd century AD.[1][3]

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

Visit to Kever Yosef - Shechem, Israel
This is a very short visit to Kever Yosef - Jews came from around Israel for a few hours to pray to G-d at the graveside of Yosef HaTzadik (the Jewish patriarch Joseph's tomb). In the last moments of the video you can hear the prayers of the men turning in to a scream to G-d to protect us and allow us to freely visit this most holy Jewish site.
The agreement that the Arabs agreed to in Oslo was that they (the Arabs) would provide safe access for Jews to all holy sites if Israel gave the PA autonomous control over certain cities. That means that the Arabs agreed that they would provide safe access for Jews to visit Kever Yosef that is located in the city of Shechem, Israel (also sometimes referred to as the city of Nablus).
However, true to their lies, the Arabs there completely destroyed the tomb site in 2000 and Jews have extremely limited access once a month after midnight, under the heavy guard of Israeli Defense Forces. Jews have been stoned, shot at and killed by PA soldiers soley b/c the Jews were going there to peacfully pray. The world and the UN have not condemed these Arab actions even once!
In contrast, the Israeli government has allowed access 24/7 to the Arabs to all of their holy sites in Israel - for example, the Arabs come and go freely to their mosques on the Temple Mount (site of the Jewish Temples / Beit Hamikdash) in Jerusalem, Israel and in the Ma'arat HaMachpelah (Cave of the Jewish Patriarchs) in Hebron, Israel. In fact, it's the Jews who are heavily restricted from visiting the Temple Mount site, which is the most holy site for Jews in the entire world.

Israeli Independence Day in the anti-Zionist neighborhood of Jerusalem,
On May 2nd, 2017, on the 69th Israeli Independence Day, Meah Shearim, the anti-Zionist neighborhood in Jerusalem, mourns the 69-year existence of the State of Israel. Black flags are hung out on the buildings, as a sign of mourning. In the synagogues, special prayers are held, relating to the tragedy of Zionism.
The Torah scroll is being carried to the center podium. Rabbi Meir Hirsch leads the congregation, in reading the special portion of the Torah, recited on fast days, pleading with G-d as follows:
“Turn away from Your anger, and change Your mind about the punishment, You planned to bring upon Your people.” (Exodus 32:12).
So says the Lord, Keep justice and practice righteousness, for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Fortunate is the man who will do this and the person who will hold fast to it, he who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it and guards his hand from doing any evil.” (Isaiah 56:1-2)
The Torah scroll is lifted up for all to see. Worshipers kiss the Torah scroll as it is returned to the Holy Ark.
A crowd gathers in front of the synagogue, preparing for a march through the streets of Jerusalem.
Slogans are called out in Hebrew:
“The Jewish people bitterly mourns 69 years of Zionist rebellion against G-d and His Torah.”
“Jews are not Zionists”
“The Zionist state is an anti-religious threat to the Jewish people”
“Just as in the story of Purim, Mordechai refuse to kneel and bow before Haman, we Jews who are loyal to G-d and His Torah have no part in the heretical Zionist state.”
Banner reads: Judaism Rejects Zionism and the State of Israel”
