Default Utah vs Israel

I am israeli lds citizen and just got back from the states. I spent 2 weeks in Utah and was amazed how similar the land of Utah and the land of Israel are! the only difference is that israeli land is more diverse and more beautiful than the land of Utah, your mountains get extra points but there's no Red Sea, Mediterenian sea. You only got "Dead Sea"(which is your Salt Lake) it kinda stinks too and no one ever swims there, the Dead Sea is saltier and you can swim there and lotsa people do cos its healthy. Another simlarity your Utah lake near Provo which stinks too cos of polution from that factory. Galilee sea doesn't stink and is our only water reservour we drink from. So I was amazed to see these similarities.

Did you make it down to Southern Utah which has the Lake Powell area? Or the red cliffs?

There is diversity but not the history of the Mediterranean area.

I was actually referring to fake posters.

I see. My bad.

Still, it's not very often when an outsider props Utah over California. We take what we can, ya know?

Well, maybe there is somebody lame enough to pop in and pretend to be the guy in the youtube video but I doubt it. Not exactly an exciting or controversial dupe. Add to that the fact that he disappeared until the subject of Israel came up again and I have to say there's a good chance he's real.
