  • Start playing Metallica's "One" in the background at around 6:00 ...I think this speech and the song really come together.

  • Brought me to tears. He put that shit so fucking well. When you look at what war does to human beings and pain it causes. Fear or Love?

  • 7:29 "Nyeah!"

  • OUT OF ISRAEL. ALL THE JEWS. Not just the ones who persecute the other jews, because they're not "elite jews," ALL OF THEM. America welcomes you. Stop persecuting not only the inconvenient jews, but the true descendents of the Hebrew.

  • I am so glad that eyeearbrain.webs.com sent me here. Best talk ever!

  • i really wanna know how the soldier is now

  • this is the definition of having GUTS, ladies and gentlemen.

  • Henry for President.

  • I went to this show and it was awesome. Words cannot describe how awesome it was.

  • good but no bill hicks. check out robert newman.

  • @vtzerosix Hicks is overrated. He alienated more people than he converted.

  • @vtzerosix He's really not a comedian. He's more of a spokesperson type of guy. He just tells about his experiences. Some of it is funny though...

  • Your emotions are there to help you, including anger!

  • Jim Carrey on Steroids?

  • If there's no such thing as islamofascists, why are US soliders getting blown up?

  • @LennyG108 Because their countries have been invaded.

  • "Anger is a Gift" Malcolm x

  • I watched a news show were michael moore praised the guy who leaked wikileaks--because he was not like the other 'German soldiers just following orders'--he basically compared our troops to nazis--I, immediately cringed and from that point on, i began to hate the fat douche.

  • @VredesStal That's because Michael Moore doesn't take into consideration anything but his own opinion. He isn't doing it for any reason other than self-promotion and to force his opinion on what he thinks. Henry doesn't filter, he doesn't edit, and he doesn't refuse perspective.

  • Israel is a terrible mess. Are the Israelis gonna fix it, or are they gonna keep taking our money to fund them?

  • Just jizzed my pants...

  • I want to have a conversation with this man. He's one of the few sane famous people in America, he actually has a brain which he uses and actually gives a shit. He has to be a very interesting man to talk to.

  • Jeeeeeeez. From 7.30 til the end I was having one solid cringe....

    Who the hell does he think he is?

  • @Kalapeno he wasn't trying to tell these people what to do, he was pleading to them to do the right thing

  • *The Israeli film Lebanon was nominated for 5 awards by Europe Film Academy

    *Israeli innovative technique to plant crops 4 times a year lead to 400% output increase in South Africa,Senegal,Niger

    * Israeli Dr Fontanini has been honored by President Obama and recipient the USA Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists for his research on the  brain neuroscience

    *A USA delegation of 30 business leaders traveled to Israel to learn how to fund,promote,advance high-tech start-ups

  • @Gonko100

    I didn't say anything contrary to that. Check my statement.

  • theres no one out there with greater balls.

  • rock out buddy. soldiers are hard as nails

  • there's not any geniuses in the army

  • What balls to have a moral lecture to Israelis

  • @Tsaucci I don't like your comment cause it's suggests that all Israelis need to be lectured with morals. not really, if anything, you should look at the fact he is speaking to a full hall of Israelis, who were probably there cause they share the same view as henry. I wasn't there, but in general I'm 99% sure henry didn't persuade anyone, all were probably already persuaded.

  • @Tsaucci For me, the importance of speakers like henry is encouraging the people who are already trying to change things - to continue. it's very easy to get frustrated around here (because of political factors from within Israel, but also factors from "outside") - and that I'm afraid you don't seem to understand.

  • @Tsaucci

    It's one of the only countries in the region where it doesn't require balls.

    Try lecturing on sensitive topics in Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Lebenon. It would be physically dangerous.

    People are getting shot in Bahrain and Lybia right now.

  • one of his best.

  • I thought a guy like Henry would boycott going to Israel because of their bad human rights record.

  • @jgcfc58 a guy like henry rollins would speak up in isreal BECAUSE of their human rights record ;)

  • what do you mean?

  • 16 assholes disliked this video

  • Hmmm

  • Henry could talk about pissing in his own mouth and it would be funny. He rocks!

  • He's freakin awesome!

  • This man is one of the Great ones. What he does and how he can turn a shitty situation around is just outstanding. Really everyone should take a little something out of his book. Thank you Henry.

  • @J4YM5

    Poor you for being blind.

  • @TheOtium carry on killing your sand niggers

  • The best most intelligent man I have ever seen. He has dragged me out of Post war stress just with his talking and inspired me so much. This man gives a damn, and we need more of it. Fantasic

  • This is an incredible piece.

  • The best clip I've ever seen.

  • This is why I admire Henry. Awesome perspective. Thanks for posting!

  • The audience probably hardly understood half of what he said.

  • damn, they didn't like him.

  • Henry is fantastic his eloquence he has both child like abandon and wise twisted cynisism, he's really carrying on where the late bill hicks ended

  • 8:50 I'm definitely part of the ''it's right here...''.

  • Israël did 911 you shithead!

  • @nikonekro Haha fuck off!

  • why make he jokuing about third world countrie????

    He not man!

  • wow awsome speech at the end

  • Henry is the fucking man.. no one understands people and has such a respect for life as he does

  • dont go to war if u dont wanna lose an arm ,fairly simple idea

  • @thursrune What, so because his friend was killed by a black guy he should hate ALL black people? What, I suppose if it was a white person who killed his friend you'd expect him to commit suicide for being white? I don't completely disagree with the fact that he hasn't made much of an effort to represent the Palestinians but, still, you just made yourself look like a total douche.

  • It's amazing how he kept his mouth shut so far during the Obama presidency. Even though he didn't listen to the word of the people and it will cost his party dearly in November.

  • If you want to show how smart you are start a blog and cite your sources (Common knowledge is not a source). So everyone that happens buy this video does not have to be exposed to your misplaced and dismissive rants.

    This is one of the bits I love best that Hank does. If you have been exposed to war you can appreciate what Hank does with the USO. I am going to see him tomorrow in Somerville Massachusetts and I cant wait. Peace and be well. It is not difficult to be nice.

  • That is really sad ,some fun ,but sad to think about that guys parents seeing their son to change kid again. All that pain that we have caused for false things, its just so wrong and ppl. don't want to face it, most ppl. are too selfish to understand ,they think the pain wont reach them and we don't have to care then. Its all over when we say so .

  • To that guy who said Al-Qaeda was not organized...check your facts, it's the low level Taliban you're thinking of. AQ is a group of respectable fighters with a level of organization befitting of a very potent military force. I've been at the receiving end of their fire, they're pretty good.

  • @iParatroop yeh of course Al-Qaeda is organised and of course they are good fighters, they were trained by the CIA after all. Irony, don't you love it.

  • @TheAgonyOfVictory *facepalm*

  • @iParatroop

    AlQuaida was founded by the CIA and Brzenzinski. Check your facts.

  • @Gonko100

    No. It was founded around 1988 by Bin Laden, Egyption Islamic Jihad and Abdullah Azzam.

    We had a common cause, fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. But Micheal Moore had common cause with Al Queada in Iraq. That doesn't mean Moore founded AQI; he didn't.

  • First, I currently serve in the Army. Second, I really dig Rollins, and I respect his views. There's a right way, and a wrong way to present your case, and to make your arguments. Rollins gets it right, whereas guys like Sean Penn and Michael Moore get it all wrong. Henry deserves thanks for what he does for our guys that didn't come out of all of this in the same shape they started.

  • @iParatroop True words. And respect to you mate.

  • @iParatroop Hank is friends with Michel and Sean.

  • @iParatroop

    dude, well said.

  • Henry Rollins Rips evetything a new anus.

  • Best work Henry ever did.

  • HELL!!!

    RESPECT!!!!!

  • Your kids will inherit the war you did not stop.

  • i don't think i respect any else more than henry..what a great man he is

  • @lfctwentytwo I couldn't agree more.

  • Wow. I just discovered Henry Rollins about an hour ago, and I must say that I have more respect for him already than for people I've known personally my entire life.

    For the debating people: Can we please stop this senseless idiocy? Comment on what you think about the video, don't argue over who's country is better. There is not a single government on this planet that is altruistic in any sense of the word. So shut your fucking mouths.

  • same..i never even heard of him before then i watched wrong turn 2 and loved him in that movie

  • Henry makes amazing points in every spoken word show he does. and no dweed draconianrush isn't a commie, he is way to much of a pussy bitch for that, he is a shallow sad excuse of a human being. what a douche. and besides... we should support our troops to the fullest extent we can, its not their choice to be there fighting but it was their choice to defend our country, and anyone who would defend a complete stranger against that kind of horror is an extremely brave man or woman indeed.

  • @sycobilly1 no offence, but i think you missed the point of henry's speech

  • yeah? well i would love to discuss the point. i take no offence to that. everyone interepts things differently

  • well, simply put...of course you should support your troops and henry rollins does that, too. however, your troops are not defending your country (USA), they are mostly poor people going to war for money, fighting a war that has no noble cause. unfortunately, they are invading another country and causing a lot of pain and suffering in the process. many americans are brainwashed by the media, which exploits their patriotism in order to gain popular support for what the your government is doing...

  • anyway, what he is trying to say in this video is that war is fucked up, and i am sure he doesn't support the invasion of iraq either. there is a distinction between caring for your fellow countrymen who are exposed to pain and death and supporting an invasion of another country.

  • Comment removed

  • Henry Rollins is badass

  • Rollins is right, truer words have never been spoken!

  • draconian is a COMMUNIST!!!!!

  • WHAT A FUCKING BADASS, as if he said that shit about israel and palestine war.... henry is the man.

  • I hate the whole patriotic American shit-trip. The American Government started most of these wars and the whole population is very, very dis-illusioned.

  • dang

  • So, few realise.When Russia remained in Latvia in Europe,after the war.They embarked on a programme to increase the size of the concentration camps the Nazis had left.The numbers of people detained continued to increase until Russia left.

    And Europe remained silent....

    A `member of the victorious countries` of WWII could not be tried for `war crimes`.Think of this. Latvia remained under Russian occupation until 1991.

  • Thanx for putting it "out there" Henry!!

  • WOW i just read a lot of the comments from months ago and... really? maybe you guys should read more and study the history of the areas where these wars are going on. some of its right and some is just plains silly ,the comments I mean,. for example did you guys know that america armed the taliban in the eighties to fight the russians. I mean check the facts before you make yourself look stupid. at least rollins sticks to his princables

  • Jello Biafra told me that the CIA armed the taliban in the eighties to fight the russians.

  • ah jello. terrible singer just like henry still love em both though.

  • Rollins rules!

  • rollins is a badass mother fucker

  • henry is truely the coolest. that what was amazing, what he said to that guy. that probably made more than his day.

  • the girl @ 3:02 is just in shock at the story.

  • Holy shit, you fucking imbeciles, you actually believe all that fascist propaganda? Wake the fuck up. What, the media lies and is owned by those who profit from hatred and death and environmental destruction, this cannot be!!! Wake the fuck up.

  • Youtube the movie "IN LIES WE TRUST"

    Time for americans to learn our true past.

  • This video choked me up. Henry is a hell of a guy.

  • Comment removed

  • How much did they pay you to say that?

  • What a great man!

  • i'm curious why you disabled the ratings

  • I haven't disabled any ratings.

  • oh wow, him recalling the soldier's story is pretty impressive! the story, that is

  • He believes in questioning your government's actions for purposes of future peace. But i think he still believes in order, democracy and government.

    Just that the power should be in the hands of the people, government should fear its people etc.

  • all he said is truth! the only way to stop wars in the world is to say to your goverment: FUCK YOU, I WON'T FIGHT YOUR DIRTY WARS! FUCK YOU, I WON'T DIE FOR YOUR PERSONAL INTERESTS AND FUCK YOU I WON'T KILL IN YOUR NAME...henry is a real anarchists, i salute him...fuck states, fuck masters, fuck bloodthirsty politicians, fuck fascists...NO PASARAN!!! SHALOM, TZEDEK VE HOFESH LE KULAM! ADOM/SHAHOR-ZE MASHE HASER BA ARETZ!!! peace to middle east! lehaim!

  • I wouldn't call him an anarchist really, he definitely supports democracy & the Bill of Rights. But I DO like that he knows how to channel his anger at the right people & in the right direction!!

  • its america who starts the wars so i dunno what your on about

  • are you kidding me? The Taliban are the ones that start it! They're killing their own people! They're driving planes into fucking buildings! What the hell is America supposed to do? Sit there while we get shit thrown at us?

  • they dont send troops over to fight

  • They can try, but it wont work. Even they know that. It's basically impossible.

  • thats not the point.every war seems to revolve around america.its no coincidence

  • Every war seems to revolve around America because America is one of the most targeted countries by terrorist organizations. Also, America has so many alliances with other countries that its basically impossible to stay out of wars.

  • the american governmant craves war

  • Proof? that could be highly opinionated. If we didn't fight take action in the war in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. etc. we would be getting complaints about not doing anything. The U.S gov. is trying to help... atleast that's what I think. You can't trust the mainsteam media these days

  • going to war isnt helping,no matter what its against

  • So we're going to sit there and not do anything? Its highly unlikely that it will work. The opposing armies will only get stronger. I'm pretty sure that they won't just sit there.

  • ther is no opposing armies.the war is against a terrorist group

  • Thats not the point... I was talking about any war in general. I should have clarified that. Al-Qaeda could maybe be big enough to be an Army even though they aren't very organized.

  • @dudesons441 you are a very ignorant and uneducated person, in other words a sheep...you can have any opinion you want, but at least read some books for fucks sake

  • How am I uneducated?

  • i can see it from your comments. you seem to believe that there is some kind of an epic battle being faught between good and evil, while in reality your capitalist empire is spreading suffering and misery around the world. you need to be informed (i'm not talking about Fox News or CNN), as well as have knowledge in politics to be able to debate about a certain topic. thats what i meant by "uneducated".

  • Sorry son, but America isn't a capitalist country.

  • what do u mean? what is it then?

  • 'Tis a mixed market economy.

  • mate ur spliting hair, all countries are mixed economies (even Cuba). america is the bastion of capitalism in the world.

  • If they're all mixed market, then none of them are Capitalist.

  • you're completely right, now go to sleep child.

  • but I'm not tired.

  • America is an oligarchy.

  • Comment removed

  • So I guess the USA shouldn't have defeated the Nazis?

  • incase you didnt notice it wasnt only america that fought against and defeated the nazis

  • so it's okay for the USA to go to war if other countries tell us it's okay? The "other countries" were all but defeated and would have lost without America's help.

  • we all won it with each others help.why are we arguing over who defeated the nazis.the fact is they wer defeated either way and we should be happy that is how it went

  • we are arguing because you said "going to war is not helping, no matter what it's against". Part of the point is the USA defeated the Nazi's, England was losing, France surrendered(naturally), The USA was the only country that could stop Hitler. Sometimes going to war is needed and it is helping.

  • @IAMTHEEND666 ur soo full of shit man fucking pussy americans joined last and Russia lost most amount of soldiers and Russia was there when hitler "supposedly" shot himself which is bs they took his skull and it belonged to a woman

  • @IAMTHEEND666 but u sir are an american degenerate who is to pussy to put his own government in place,,,just keep waiting until they take all ur rights away from under ur feet...

    It will become like North Korea

    Did u know u have the country that is soo broke its not funny its scary

  • Bollocks.

    First: America had fuck all to say 'till Japan started messing with you.

    Also: It's well documented that the failed invasion of Russia marked the downfall of the Nazi's...Battle of Stalingrad ring a bell?

    Typical that an uneducated yank would know nothing. Britain wasn't defeated by the way, the RAF stopped Nazi expansion into Britain...

    Please don't open your obese inbred mouth when there is nothing of value coming out of it in future...

  • that's not at all what he's saying, we ended that war but now we're not only in war we're in the business of war, perpetual war.

    Some battles need to be fought but the root cause of war is desparation and we could do a lot more good with a lot less violence by spending the money we throw away on munitions on improving the standards of living at home and abroad.

  • damn right!

  • Stay out of? Don't you mean start?

  • The last time i checked we didn't start WW1, WW2, or the war in Iraq. The Taliban has been at war with America since Desert Storm. After Desert Storm we didn't take any action until '03

  • True, true... not true. Come on man, nothing was going on in Iraq that concerned the average American at the time. Why go to war with Iraq when we still had unfinished business with Afghanistan? Was Irag really a threat at the time? It's almost 2010 now, what have we gained from all of it? Can't even get cheap gas!

  • dude you cant compare WW 1 -2 to Iraq, that is the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard..... hold hands?

  • You can compare them, but I wasnt.

  • No you silly piece of penis... you cant, i don't care if you were or weren't you sound like a..................

  • Yes you can! It's physically possible! It may not be a good comparrison, but it is possible.

  • i heard that 9-11 was a inside job

    but idk

    but i agree about that they kill their own people

  • whered you hear that from?

  • yea right 9-11 was an inside job! you are either stupid, crazy or you have a secret agenda if you think so.

  • either that or you're living in a country run by lieing fascists

  • well i am not so it must be one of the other options

  • I think you kinda missed the point...

  • I loved Rollins before and I knew about his USO involvement, but this has given me a whole new respect for him.

  • this guys a great person

  • i love how you stick it to yourself everyday without even realizing. cuz that's what being a fascist is - sticking it to yourself more than anyone else.

  • you may have been meaning to the power structure of isreal, but really that is an uncalled for statement

  • favorite video I've ever seen. Henry definitely had me in tears here...

  • Just hanging out, searching the web for some comedy and then BAMM!! Henry jumps into your face and makes a common well known problem your problem.
