I can't tell how much of her responses are sarcasm, and that is the determiner for judging her responses. However, this Horowitz fella seems to be a pretty hardlined zionist. He places her in a situation where she can't state a middleground and sets up a false dichotomy. Hezbollah is responsible for some mean shit, but look at what their actions are against. Folks say that Israel doesn't want to exterminate anybody. Thats bullshit and shows a lack of study or critical analysis of the situation. Israel's entire existence is contingent on Imperialism. They are a modern example of "Manifest Destiny v. Native Americans". Fuck Israel, and fuck Horowitz for defending a racist, apartheid system. As far as the woman is concerned, her sarcasm was the incorrect approach to the situation, and she shouldn't have responded to the false dichotomy. Easy to say these things in my shoes though, not her's, at that moment n all that.

Say it with me now. A-part-heid

Why do I say 'Fuck Israel'? Because Israel is colonialism. Israel is Imperialism. Israel is apartheid. Sorry folks, but those people living in that country that shrug their shoulders and say 'shitz crazy' are just as much to blame as the United States tax payers whose money goes to pay for the bombs dropped on the American School in west bank, a school built by U.S. $ and destroyed by U.S. $.

Neutrality is siding with the oppressor. Fuck Israel
Israel is an Apartheid state

Ownage. Excellent clip. I'd upvote 10x if I could.

I have no problem with the Israeli people. I however have huge issues with the government and the apartheid they commit. Lest we not forget. The US endorses it, otherwise they wouldn't send billions to the Israeli government every year, and turn a blind eye as Gaza is blockaded and suffering.

Unfortunately the citizenry of our respective nations all too often blindly follow our governments without question, or if we do question, our governments often ignore us and silence us through propaganda. As if -everything- your government does is purely good and in the best interest in EVERYONE. No it isn't. Often it isn't good, and it is in the best self-interest.

That was pure own. I'm so glad that somebody has finally spoke up about the hypocrisy of an apartheid nation state calling on atrocities of the past to justify its own oppression of a specific ethnic group.

Fucking Rocked

Ooops. It looks like Obama has got the ZIONISTS angry. Who else goes around calling other groups Nazis ? I have a feeling that part of this Nazi backlash is Jewish Zionist who just want to vent against Obama and his stance against the APARTHEID state of Israel.

Mashiki, what metrics are you using to measure racism? I think your saying one group or another is most racist based on nothing but your feelings and anecdotes is ridiculous. What tangible, measurable results were there from blacks hating blacker people, for example? That's how I determine who is the most racist.

And in the US, whites are able to and do enforce their bigoted sentiment on other groups quite often and quite easily. Look at redlining, the criminal justice system, job discrimination, hate violence, etc. How have american blacks oppressed american whites? Sure, you can dig and find a some very rare cases of individuals doing this, but show me where the average american white man gets the bum deal that the average Zimbabwean white man would get from their black (or latino, or asian) countrymen.

It's not a perfect world for american whites by any means, but I don't know any american white crazy enough to trade places with an american black. Maybe you do, since you think minorities get a "free ride". It-is-to-laugh.

As I said pp, racism is a matter of perspective. The countries I cited are making demonstrable efforts to be egalitarian with respect to ethnicity, just like we in the US are. In Singapore, a chinese was jailed for posting a racist anti-malay website; if america had the same standards, how many would be jailed? In Malaysia, several ethnic and religious groups take part in the government; while Americans have only recently seen their first muslim congressman. South Africa has shown great restraint to the white population there in light of the history of apartheid. Kenya is actively making strides and overtures to its Muslim population and for reconciliation of its various tribal groups; even african whites fled there from Zimbabwe. And finally, like it or not, in 20 years blacks will dominate brasil; the demographic math there is more pronounced than for arabs in Israel. Even now brasilian blacks are fighting discrimination and making measurable gains.

All of these examples still don't help your flimsy racial theory that puts whites as the most angelic beings in the universe. A Singaporean chinese will say the same. A Kenyan black will say the same. A Malay Malaysian will say the same. Any number of ethnic people who dominate their respective countries sing the same tune. Hell, even the arabs in this video would say the same.

But, only a cursory glance at (even recent) history would show that is simply not the case for any of these groups.

I wanna make a super virus
Strong enough to cause black outs in every single metropolis
Cuz they dont want to unify us
So fuck it
total anarchy and can't nobody stop us

You see late in the evening
Fucked up on my computer and my mind starts roaming
I create like a heathen
The first cycles of this virus i can send through a modem

Infiltrate and hit your station
No microsoft or enhanced dos with mp
Society thinks theyre safe when
Bingo hard drive crashes from the rending

A lot of hackers tried viruses before
vaporize your text like so much White-out
I want it where file replication is a chore
Lights out shut down the entire White House
I don't want just a bug that can be corrected
I'm erecting immaculate design
Break the nation down section by section
Even to the greatest minds
its impossible to find

I wanna develop a super virus
Better by far then the old Y2K
This is 3030 the time of
global unification break right through their
terminals burn em all
slaves of silicon
corrupt politicians with leaders and their keywords

FBI and spies stealin bombs
dissipitate their plans
and (?) catch the fever

Everybody loot the stores get your canned goods
Even space stations are having a hard time
Peacekeepers seek to take our manhood
which results in a form of global apartheid

ghettos a trash dump for gas pumps
exploded and bunt out just before the great union
the last punks walk around like mass monks
ready to manipulate the database or break through em

human rights come in 100 hundredth place
mass production has always been number one
new earth has become a repundant (?) place
So its time to spread the fear (?)

Ah....."modern, westernised, african culture". That burst of fresh air that produced black people disappearing during apartheid, people tortured in tanks of sulphuric acid. School children being massacred, Steve Biko, Sharperville--really wanton killing. I am also reading a book about the great job the british colonial judicial system did in Kenya called, "History of the Hanged". Among the British civilizing accomplishments there was forcing thousands of Kikuyus into concentration camps. Thousand were massacred in Nyadzonia in Mozambique, Chimoio, Zambia, innocent refugees including women and children.

Yeah, western values practiced in Africa can be called anything but brutal and inhumane. Not to mention rape. The right of a white man to rape a non-white was as sacrosanct as you say it is in "traditionalist" cultures. A good portion of the mixed population is testament to this indulgence.

It seems to me that if we want to reduce crime as well as the violent and inhumane attitudes in South Africa, western culture is the last place Africans should look.

The west institutionalized brutality against black people and de facto made rape against black women a right. Shaka didn't have anything on the British and the Dutch.

25% of South African men will rape a woman.

Combine the declining ruins of a prosperous nation and African ethics and you've got South Africa today. World leader in rapes and murders.

Look at the South African flagship airline after Apartheid: http://www.amren.com/ar/2003/03/index.html

Everybody should be able to post things from Vimeo. The quality is so great.

Videosift is based and functions on a voting system. Allowing only higher ranked members to submit videos from certain providers that people from the lower rank cannot is unfair.

Videosift is like an apartheid video linking site.
LOL. okay I'm being dramatic. Maybe there shouldn't be a tribunal for the time lapse music video I wanted to post.
Maybe I'm rambling but my wish for videosift is to allow all members as much opportunity to sift all videos from all areas of the web equally. And that's my happy drunkin' Saturday night rant.

Israel is an Apartheid state.

>> ^grinter:
Though it may exist, I'm not aware of any post-colonial nation founded by the previously enslaved or greatly oppressed that has grown economically powerful. Sure, there are examples where members of the 'master class' succeeded from an empire to found a new nation, but that is a very different situation.

Please share an example of the latter.

Colonialism would be an nonviable practice if it's central purpose was anything other than exploiting the natural wealth of colonized lands and the hard work of colonized people. That, however, doesn't mean that all colonized peoples start from the same place. To ignore history and to argue that many liberated African peoples are suffering today because of their own ineptitude is sheer ignorance.

Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, Canada, South Africa (before apartheid ended) are all ex-colonies and none can deny their success. I think colonialism certainly leaves an imprint, however it's up to the inheritors to use it to their advantage. In fact, South American natives inhabited Haiti prior to the arrival of any invaders and I'm certain they were quite well fed.

If you're trying to argue with me that Haitians are capable of feeding themselves, perhaps you need to view this video again.

Next time you're peeling a potato, look at the little crevices (the so called "eyes"). These are in fact potato seeds. It would be quite easy, wouldn't it, to plan some potato skin and reap a harvest?

As a matter of fact, I'm quite certain that a five pound sack of potatoes would be enough for you or I to start a little garden. Sure we'd need to roll the field and plow the ground, but after a few years, we might even have enough to feed a few families.

Why am I telling you this? Just to demonstrate how utterly hopeless these people are unless they get their hands dirty and PUT SOME SEEDS IN THE GROUND THEY ARE NOW EATING.

Individual citizens should be free to buy land and then develop it as they see fit. The Oslo accords were apartheid.

^seriously?
one, because it's about South Africa,
two, because Spitting Image ran during apartheid,
and three because they mention Breyten Breytenbach.

um, what does this have to do with apartheid?
