kulpimssays...*promote
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 2:34pm PDT - promote requested by kulpims.
misterwightsays...I'm no fan of the country's behavior as a whole, but it should at least be said that this sort of clip only tells one kind of truth, while not necessarily telling a representative truth.
For example, we have videos like this on this site: http://www.videosift.com/video/Racism-at-the-Palin-Rally-in-PA
but that doesn't mean that it's representative of the majority of Americans, thank god.
Pprtsays...I wonder how Jewish-interest protesters would be treated in Gaza?
demon_ixsays...I'd love to see his out-takes, of people who give coherent, intelligent responses.
billpayersays...The rest of the news is full of the so called 'other side' of the story.
This report addresses the LACK OF BALANCE IN THE MEDIA on this topic.
oblio70says...hmm...party atmosphere + alcohol[presumed] + video camera [with a dash of foreign anonymity] ≠ coherent, intelligent responses
I suspect the outtakes [if any] went to the other extreme, by way of MobMind mentality. No one there looks up to reaching for honest and thorough thought; not about the individual in such an environment. Its more Us vs. Them, and no rationality resides in such a venue. Just listen to the one hesitant being goaded by peers, and he begins to cave in.
It seems this video is only for shock purposes and not about probing the climate of a particular group of people, otherwise more care would have been taken in choosing the context to ask such questions. I cannot see these as true/complete points of view.
Sorry, no upvote.

That justification is also valid for Fox News.
Kerotansays...Obama is a Muslim Nazi.
I love to see how that would pan out.
Asmosays...The 4th Reich is alive and kicking in Jerusalem...
Just for the record, the elected government of Israel is more in line with these idiots than the moderates. The fact that the many Israeli protests over treatment of Palestinians are banned from television is evidence of the government's lent and that these racist fuckstains are not representative of the whole, but are still part of a significant portion of the population.
demon_ixsays...^ If it wasn't for the 4th Reich part, I could upvote your comment.
kymbossays..."To protect democracy, you can't let people protest". George Dubya would be proud.
I think the debate about whether it's representative or not, or tells the whole story or not, is mute.
To me, this video is about the conflict inside every Israeli, and especially every young Israeli, between their ideals for freedom and democracy, and the ugly reality of thier current situation. Whether you think Israel's position is justified or not, this conflict exists within every Israeli.
As for the drunk morons - whatever. It's not a uniquely Israeli condition.
blankfistsays...Don't forget the *fear channel was designed for this kind of racism and fear of differences.
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Fear) - requested by blankfist.
Truckchasesays...*NSFW
siftbotsays...Invocations (nsfw) cannot be called by Truckchase because Truckchase is not privileged - sorry.
rychansays...As an American, I take this more to heart than I would the same behavior from any other country because we have so much invested in Israel, monetarily and policy-wise. I might ignore it in many cases, but since I'm enabling this behavior with the US's massive military aid to Isreal, it makes me feel pretty dirty.
Maurusays...I think it is rather understandable to see these opinions on display in Israel. Both parties in this conflict have been shooting one another for along time and given the fact that just about every young Israeli has served in the army at some point in time or knows somebody who did/does makes it pretty easy to believe a propaganda machine which has been grinding its gears for this long.
Finally, similar views can easily be found on the other side of the table.
Hence, I am not really sure if the logic of "but they should know better" is a sound one, unfortunately it doesn't make watching these videos any less bitter : - (
Smugglarnsays...Most are racist boneheads, but if I was an Israeli security guard in a mall, I would definitely be mindful of any woman wearing a hijab ocr burkah.

at 6:23 - Sadly, as a Swede, I can confirm his statement.
quantumushroomsays...YAWN. Looking to the wisdom of college-aged students in any country will yield results like this, no matter the subject.
iauisays...Yeah, QM. People go to college because they're stupid. Lol.

Same could be said about Republicans.
dystopianfuturetodaysays...I think most of us understand that these conservative dimwits are not representative of the entire country, but that doesn't mean that these ugly, obviously prevalent lines of thought shouldn't be exposed and confronted. I'm more than happy to see American idiots put through the ringer. Same goes for Israel.
G-barsays...Unfortunately, many Israeli people are of the same opinion. Too bad the whole world gets to see how some of us are like that.
ForgedRealitysays...HAHAH!! How the fuck is this NOT *nsfw ?!?! The first word in this video starts with F.
siftbotsays...Invocations (nsfw) cannot be called by ForgedReality because ForgedReality is not privileged - sorry.
