This reminds me of some movie I once saw where the oppressed becomes the oppressor. Oh what irony that the victims of the WWII holocaust ends up creating a holocaust of their own. Maybe it's just inevitable human nature to do so however it would be nice to see a race of people become the exception to this case.

Moving this video to geo321's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*quality

The situation is unacceptable, and for some reason it persists.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Throbbin.

Israel seems like a cop using a tazer on a one someone whilst yelling "Stop resisting! Stop Resisting!"


The electrical currents cause the muscles to contract, thus the person "resists".

I have to read articles in order to figure out why, and when they started fighting. I'm still not sure. If you forget why you are fighting, and some propagandists' idea hasn't taken root in your mind, then perhaps it is time to stop fighting.

If no one can agree on who's piece of land it is, why don't we move them all out and leave it barren and uninhabited?

If you can't play well with your toy, I'm taking it from you.

It is indeed a lamentable plight. But Gaza is controlled by Hamas - an ultra-violent terrorist organization that openly uses deadly force and refuses to acknowledge Isreal as a state. Isreal just might have a good reason to want to blockade such a violent organization.

Y'think? Isreal started building walls in the mid-90s due to spates of vehicle bombings, suicide bombings, and other atrocities. The walls were effective and by the mid-00s had reduced terror attacks to historic lows. Before the walls, Gaza rocket attacks were crude. In 2006 after the walls went up all of a sudden MAGICALLY the Palestinians started getting long-range rockets. So Isreal blockaded Gaza to keep Hamas from getting these long-range weapons. Gawlee Sgt. Carter! The long-range attacks went down to a trickle.

Quite clearly the Isreali policies are EFFECTIVE at providing security to Isreal at the cost of decreased living standards in Palestine. There is a simple, obvious solution here... Arabs & Muslims need to take strong action to control their own people and remove Isreal's need for security actions.

I won't hold my breath... As long as Arab/Muslim violence is justifed by biased media coverage then nothing will ever change. This is exemplified by things like this video, the news media portrayal of the "violence flotilla", and crones like Helen Thomas. Good riddance to bad rubbish with that particular specimen getting a stake driven through her anti-semitic heart. Senility? Alzheimer's? Dementia? Who knows what finally gave us this peek at her true heart. But the same sentiment of hatred exists more cleverly wrapped in the bulk of the leftist news media.

That would be great. Give them their own islands thousands of miles apart. But both the Palestinains and the Israelis want those holy sites. As did just about every neighbor.>> ^gwiz665:

So like children. "I want it" "no, I want it"

If you can't share, we're going to nuke the damn place, then none of you can have it!

And by "we" I mean, the US. So I can protest them at the same time. It's called "having your cake and eating it too".

Yes. No holy sites for you.. Hands off the holy sites and walls. No, I don't think that would go down well. I think the answer to that would be war. The answer to everything is war first there.>> ^gwiz665:

While we're dreaming, I like my solution of turning the entire Isreal/Palestine area into an international museum managed and run by Switzerland.

Interesting fact that highlights the extreme overreaction that has caused Israel to lose most/all of its allies: there were more protesters killed in the floatilla headed to Gaza than have been killed by Hamas rocket attacks in the last 10 years (the reason for the blockade). There comes a point when common sense should take over and you go "wait a minute..."

Since 2001 there have been 34 deaths from Palestinian rocket attacks plus injuries and damage. Why artificially limit the rocket fatalities only to ones linked to Hamas? Who knows how many splinter groups of Palestinian militants are involved? It is ridiculous to suggest that Isreal could only blockade 'Hamas' and not all the others.

The peace process has to start with the Muslim world. The Palestinians and all Arab states & religious leaders must acknowledge Isreal as a legitimate state with the right to exist. They must condemn all violence and imprison or execute any of their people who commit acts of terror. They must stop praising the actions of violent militants. They must stop supporting terror groups with arms and material. They must stop teaching their children to hate others. Until these things happen then the Muslim world has no reasonable grounds on which to expect Isreal to ease up on their efforts to provide security to their citizens by any means necessary.

i think you took that out of the the AIPAC brochure verbatim.
yeah..palestine should just sit down,shut the fuck up and ignore the 8 ft dildo rammed up their ass and anyone who doesn't?..kill em.
HAMAS is a violent terrorist group.and?your point is?
they are also the democratically elected leadership,who just happen to not be too american friendly.
and if we are going to be sticklers on definitions..america is ALSO a terrorist nation,by definition.
your solution ignores 100 years of history,human rights violations and violent atrocities perpetrated by isreal.

how about we go back to kindergarten since we are using such banal and un-imaginative choices...
play nice with the other kids and SHARE, otherwise we are taking all your toys away.
