Sorry Israelis, but the passports were promised to the trash bin 3000 years ago so unfortunately there is nothing we can do

Sometimes passports just do that
why the hell did hotel staff have their passports? I feel like we're always taught to keep our passports in a safe place and not to let someone else take it (unless they're inspecting it). Like this is the kind of thing that human traffickers do.
Exactly. These tourists may as well walked around wearing shirts that said "traffic me". You don't just give your passport to people.
A lot of hotels in Europe hold your passport when you check in.
WTF. Why?! If someone asked to keep my passport I would be expecting an abduction van to roll up at any point. What reason could they have to take your passport?
In Cuba, the "casa particular" hosts would just check the passport and log it in their logbook (Cuban govt. requirement). Which I guess is the same thing. Weird that they would do it for any extended period of time though. But maybe it just takes too much time and there's to many to do it immediately on check-in.
Yeah I've stayed in those. In China they just photograph the passport
Gravity is hamas 
oh wow it actually did just fall in the trash. Before I thought they threw it themselves and cried
amazing how literally everything hates israel, from gravity, birds chewing on the flag and that wildfire earlier this year
If that's not a sign you're not in divine favor, I don't know what is
i have so many questions though. All 50 passports were in that bag that fell in the trash? why the fuck would they all be kept together?
Why did the hotel staff have them in the first place?
Some hotels collect the passport of tour groups and put them all in a central safe to prevent passport theft
The hotel is so close to the top of the list of organizations I’m worried about scamming me or fucking me over when I’m traveling, that sounds absolutely insane to me
That’s where they belong, I don’t know why people carry passports for a fake country around. At some point these folks need to grow up and stop playing make believe, gravity just made it easier for them
Good belly laugh at this. My passports! 
That is some act of god event. Thought it was an euphemism initially.
Shit after hearing how some migrant workers are abused in countries once they give up their passports ain't no way I'm giving them up like this
When I’ve travelled out of the country I’ve kept my passport on me basically the entire time
Even in very safe spots. I've seen the headache of losing a passport or travel documents. Its a sleepless ride
Same. I would have one of those bags that go under your shirt for that. I get paranoid about being stranded.
Isaac Newton did not condemn Hamas.
The Israelis also belong in the trash. 😎

Too bad the Israelis didn't fall in the trash
those passports were hamas
I feel like it could have still been set up that way on purpose but idk.
I will note that it's quite reckless on their part to leave their passports in that position even if gravity had some help. Sometimes the universe is just funny like that though and no setup happened at all, such as https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Fjm4a5XU15s (did not vet the uploader)
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That video is an act of god if I ever saw one
Poor Bosnia

bosnian hotel staff have a right to defend themselves
