Visiting Syria & Palestine

[LordJames]

Historic and blessed land with lots of upheavals and likely to play an important role in end times according to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Has anyone visited and what are your thoughts?

Been to both...

Never been to either country.

I would love to visit Al-Aqsa mosque but not sure if I will face any harassment from IDF.

Everybody gets harassed and you have to be mentally ready to answer a 1000 questions and be interrogated.

Israelees question everybody and relentlessly but they also need Tourist dollars for their economy so they go out of their way to try to be nice to "Tourists"

People are still visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa even now. Gaza and West Bank are pretty far away from Al-Quds.

Palestinians are banned from visiting Masjid Al-Aqsa but Tourists are allowed. Israeless split Palestinian nationals into:

1. 1949
2. 1967
3. Later

3rd category of Palestinians are not allowed to visit Masjid Al-Aqsa except for last week of Ramadhan and even that gets closed down.
