(Haipo) – A tour around the Sea of Galilee on Saturday, October 3, 2026, reveals a bleak picture: the shores of the lake are empty of people, the motorboats have almost disappeared from the water, traffic in the Lake of Galilee area is very sparse, and tourism in the area is taking a hard hit. The reason – the amoeba that kept the public away from the beaches, in the midst of the Sukkot holiday.
Empty beaches and boats that have disappeared from the lake
The tour around the Sea of Galilee reveals that the public is voting with their feet and avoiding the shores of the lake. The beaches, which on normal days are full of bathers and fun-loving people, appear completely empty of people. Even the motorboats, which usually glide across the lake on Saturdays, are almost invisible. The tour managed to count only about three boats in the entire southern area of the Sea of Galilee.
I'm trying to find something positive in this situation: the motorboats pollute the lake with fuel and oil, and this is a lake of drinking water – so their absence may be a certain blessing for the water quality.
A hard blow to tourism around the Sea of Galilee
The blow suffered by the tourist sites around the Sea of Galilee is very severe. This is an entire system that includes hotels, commercial beaches, water parks and beaches open to the public. This entire complex was damaged precisely during the Sukkot holiday, when the weather is the most perfect for swimming in the lake – a period that usually constitutes the peak season for tourism in the area. It is still difficult to estimate the full economic damage that will be caused to all those involved in tourism around the Sea of Galilee. Time will tell whether the public will return to swimming in the Sea of Galilee or whether the exclusion from the lake will continue for a long time.
It's better like this..Nudity on the beaches is disgusting and bestial and primitive at the highest levels..There's enough nudity on the streets. In the sea, it's really naked. With Israel. A little modesty is better!
All the Kaplan netizens who are disturbed here in the comments – you have really gone off the rails. People need to be looked at and calmed down.
The care and protection of the lake is under the authority of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection… The damage is covered under the direct responsibility of the government. On the day of the ballot box casting
Everyone who makes a living, and now does not make a living from the Sea of Galilee, should remember this and come to terms with this incompetent government.
Now it is clear how the Babunists were created. They were sensitive, humane, moral, and conscientious people until they entered the Sea of Galilee.
Only bibists are allowed to bathe in the Sea of Galilee. They are so brainless that even an amoeba won't come near them.
When everyone flocked to Tiberias, there was disdain and exorbitant prices in restaurants.
The service was bad and the city was terrified.
Nothing to look for there
Maybe this is an opportunity to carry out a serious cleanup of all the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Cleaning up plastics, bags, toilet paper, discarded barbecues, abandoned chairs, abandoned tents, mattresses, glass bottles, and all the residue that the people of Israel leave behind after visiting the shores of our only Sea of Galilee.
Happy holiday
It might be good to let the lake heal itself. People are fleeing the Sea of Galilee, but if they fly from Dubai, Israelis love and live in danger, and everything, they will return very quickly.
Haredim keep tourism away from Amoeba
It's fine. I'm not Haredi, but modesty is better than primitive nudity on the beach. Today, girls wear shocking swimsuits. Animals look like that, not humans!
Everything related to the surroundings of the city of Tiberias is indeed empty of people, but not because of the amoeba, but because Israelis are distancing themselves from areas where the Haredi are present, and it is evident that on the other side of the Sea of Galilee, the Haredi have no contact or interference. It is fully occupied, and there are plenty of activities going on, and businesses are flourishing.
Obviously it's empty.. Who would want an amoeba eating their brain?
At least there is no urine and unpleasant surprises in the waters of the Sea of Galilee.
The amoeba attacks the brain. Bibists and skunks can enter the water.
They didn't investigate how the amoeba bacteria got to the Sea of Galilee. Someone damaged the Sea of Galilee, you didn't know. There was already an attempt to damage it once, what's happening today?
