Why, because he tells the truth? We had a peace activist from Seattle, Rachel Corrie, who was run down and killed a few years ago by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to prevent it from tearing down the home of a Palestinian pharmacist and his family.Witnesses said the bulldozer actually backed up to run her over again.

Israel and those who try to justify their actions ought to be ashamed.

Sorry, but it's not an OPINION, it's a fact.
Also, are you saying that by talking about the crimes of the Israel nation against Palestines is being anti-semitic? Tell that to my Jewish grandmother!!! She'd tell you different.

I'm saying that the guy's 'video' casts the Israelis as 100% wrong, and the Palestinians as totally innocent victims...

The truth is closer to the middle - so Yes, he sounds exactly like an Anti-Semite...

What has the israeli's done to be attacked by rockets and to have their civilians blown up by suicide bombers directly aimed at their civilians? Its the same old story that you pick sides and then suffer the consequeneces as in all times.Any nations first responsiblity is to preotect their citizens.Have you seen any protest on their side of the attacks on Israel;no. But you have seen the celebrations;just like 9-11.They even kill journalist if it suits their purpoase as we have seen.

I will readily admit that I'm not very up to date on anything to do with Israel nor with Hamas,but a question does come to mind while reading all of these frantic sounding threads on the subject.

Why would ANYONE oppose a country defending itself from attacks?
My understanding of the situation(tho' very limited) is that Israel is just returning to Hamas what they deserve.Have I missed so much about this conflict that I'll never understand it or what?

I guess sometimes it's nice to be isolated in the midwest

They have a perfect right, and obligation, to do so...
