God's Chariot - Episode 2 - 14 May 07 - Part 1

[djomercohen]

there's no myth the that this tank is invincible, there is a fact that it is the safest tank in the world and that only missiles and advanced anti tank devices that can destroy any tank have managed to destroy

this movie is stupid, it contains distorted interviews \ facts and made out of propaganda against Israel out of pro Palestinian delusions.

now Israel has developed new technologies that protects its tanks and APC's against anti tank missiles with a smart and cheap method.

[jackiebaron]

Gotta love the underdog. The Israelis rolled into Lebanon and limped back out. And all they can say now is that the bastards who gave them a bloody nose are "terrorists". Awww, boo-hoo. They're like a guido who kicks a puppy and then calls animal welfare when he's bitten back.

[flahr1]

no proof. Propaganda.  A couple of empty shell casings

[Maphisto86]

I gotta say it is impressive how Hamas and other guerilla groups in the Gaza strip can manufacture not just crude IED's but heavy anti-tank weapons.

[poonjoo]

in fact this whole documentary is meant to just bash the IDF. Everything from their air raid to land warfare is targeted as failure failure failure failure, doesn't talk about the battle where the merkava fought syrian tanks and kicked their asses. The video title instantly says "myth" of Israeli invincibility, so obviously it tells you the producers stand point

[poonjoo]

You don't hear of these massive fails for the abrams, just damages or mobility kills

[rocketman784]

Kentan2202, you miss the point. As Israeli-American technology improves, so does that of the righteous.

[kentan2202]

the merkavas today have anti-missile rockets installed on them

[JDGillis61]

It doesn't matter, the Merkava is still a piece of crap designed to occupy a civilian population to enable IDF terrorists to murder innocent women and children so Zionist bastards can steal their land. Israelis are evil people who I pray some day will be brought to justice for the many crimes against humanity they have committed against the indigenous population of Palestine.

[kingeliran]

watch the news right now 29.12.08 Gaza is in ruins!

btw any tank in the World would be destroyed from an anti tank missile or a heavy mine.

and the vid shown here is from where israel first mastakes taken and learned. today you wont see anything like that.

[highchief42]

The Arab scum can't defeat Israel. All they can do is fire rockets and hide behind their women. Fucking cowards. Muhammad would be proud.

[Cyrax44444]

now you tell us about cowards! all what the useless israeli scum can do is to bomb civilian palestinian areas.

never seen such cowardice in whole human history...

[highchief42]

So you are saying that it is cowardly for Israel to retaliate? I suppose firing rockets from these civilian areas is not cowardly. Good point dipshit.

[Cyrax44444]

retaliate for what exactly?? for being invaded and slaughtered? or for being thrown away form their homeland?

and those puny water pipes you call rockets and that some civilian palestinians try to use to defend themselves are the only way to retaliate against swarms heavy tanks and attack planes. and i'll tell you: it would be a miracle if it kills a mouse.

[Cyrax44444]

and yes it is cowardy to hide behind high walls, oppose angry children behind armor and kill them by shells and bombs.

so go and have some history lessons for your own good and don't be stupid.

[siyu313]

Cyrax44444 let's get into a little History shall we? Remember Arabs went to war with Israel just a day after their(Israeli) independence and they were DEFEATED ! Few years later they are back with the 6 day war, then the war of attrition, then yom kippur war. Face it man, in the same situation as Israel Arabs would do the same(maybe worse). I don't blame th Israelis for being paranoid. The price of peace is eternal vigilance!

[Cyrax44444]

Well no one forced them to come and steal lands from their rightful owners in the first place. They are the invanders remember?

So whether they fight wars for 'independence' or 'safety', win or lose, etc ; doesn't matter as is it temporary for them.

[siyu313]

Invaders? They guys own the Land from biblical times! How can they invade their own lands?

[Cyrax44444]

I see.

Well if you speak about the jewish descendants of Abraham, they were already living there anyway ages ago with non jewish semitic people. The others that represent more than 80% of the jewish population of "Israel" are from non semitic regions of the world. They are mainely ashkenazis, sons of Khazars, from europe. This is why they are seen as invaders.

[siyu313]

In your previous comment even you had trouble distinguishing between the two. You see the problem with this Arab "liberators" is that they fight all Israelis in general not the Ashkenazis in particular and wat do they get for that? A pretty serious beating.

[Cyrax44444]

No trouble at all. Zionism which lead to "Israel" colony was a product of atheist germanized anti-jewish Ashkenazis (Herzl & co.) for the Ashkenazi people. The other ethnicities whether jews or not are just minorities. If it wasn't for the AIPAC that rules america and supports colonization there could be no Zionist entity in Palestine at all. That's it.

[siyu313]

well it doesn't matter much to the Israelis does it? they have a home, Ashkenazi or Falasha(Ethiopians) it don't matter to them. What they remember id=s that when the Arab armies invaded Israel they didn't wanna attack Ashkenazis only, they wanted all Jews! For that small but significant lack of clarity in intentions they are condemned to fighting against a united Israel. commend you for your knowledge in history, this is a truly educating debate for me.

[siyu313]

By the way what about the Abrahamic Jews who lived in Iraq? Didn't saddam hussein slaughter them by the numbers? Frankly i find it difficult to see how jews(indeginous) would ever learn to trust an Arab's intention!

[Cyrax44444]

Nope. They simply left from Iraq since 1948 to fulfill their "alia" (exodus). The jewish neighbouhood and market near Nadjaf along with the tomb of Ezechiel remain always there as historical heritage. It's all the same for all Arab countries from Morocco to Syria and Jordan. Few of them still there even after all these "Arab-Israeli wars" some of them facilitate even the the jewish immigration and transfer of wealth to "Israel".

[siyu313]

But there was a time when the Israeli govt was brawling with the Iraqis coz of Saddam's killin of Iraqi Jews, that eventually led to that Iraqi pilot fleeing the country with a Mig-21 to Israel! Know about that?

[Cyrax44444]

During the cold war, that pilot was seduced by a female Mossad agent. She convinced him to defect from Iraq and to bring them the new soviet Mig-23 (not 21). It was considered the most advanced plane at that time and all western powers wanted to study it.

The rest about Saddam killing the jews are just Zionist false accusations to legetimate the gulf wars. They do that quite often actually and Saddam wasn't that dumb to give them such a wonderful opportunity to invade him.

[micheltariq]

@siyu313 Actually saddam never killed any Jews and the stolen air plane was mig 23 and the guy who stole it wasn't a jew he was a Christian and he stole the plane because his son had cancer and he didn't have the money to treat him and israel offerd him millions of dollars to do it his name is moneer rova ... i am an iraqi

[jackiebaron]

Stupid arrogant Israeli assholes. You think that Arabs are animals yet they blow you to bits with a tenth of the firepower. They seem to me to be a lot more intelligent than you morons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[an1792]

now all the arabs know how to fight Israel specially Syria, good luck israel

[marioar1987]

aljazeera is for gays look at them they cover their faces cowardly and built ides instead of fighting with honor that is why the arabs are so fucked up they are primitive idiots that dont respect even their own women and childs thay the garbage of the earth

[an1792]

(aljazeera is for gays ) i am sure u love Fox news.

[ayzmani]

Why does anyone ever tune into Aljazeera, they are tools of Muslim petrodolar interestes, they are completely biased, this is such a load of crap. They use very eloquent speakers too sound intelligent but behidn them are the same whak job terrorist idiots, stop watching them.

They refer to Hamas as fighers and guerillas, are you kidding me.

[an1792]

what do u think of Fox news i am sure u love it hahahahahhahahah

[collision934]

and western media refers to the idf as soldiers so the question is are you kidding me?

[siyu313]

Ask why people tune to C.N.N and you'll get your answer. Is C.N.N. the unofficially official media house of the U.S. government?

[bbproductionsLA]

excellent

[supajc]

I just noticed this series is from AlJazeeraEnglish. Propaganda mouthpiece of terrorists of the world.

[Zyamaman]

Stupid? Says the guy who can barely spell!

And they gotta be so bright - planting a huge land mine under the road! They sure were the first ones to ever think about it!

Besides, as gorf here pointed out, the second wasn't even a Merkava, just a lightly armored APC!

And prove that Hezbollah have actually taken out so many Merkava's in one day, because I heard they managed to hit only thirty through the whole war...

[EasyEs]

The Merkava is a great tank. Any tank getting hit from all angles by Heavy ATGMs is going to eventually get penetrated and the ammo will cook off. The Palestinians using Russian weapons don't deserve much credit for leaning not to fire at the front.

[gorf1]

The story about destruction of Merkava in back door on 5th minute of the video is complete BS. In fact it was M113 of enginering corps.

[kamuzu1]

stupids...the tank in 6:40 min is not merkava...

[Ac1899]

you're right...it's a merkava upside down!

[Zyamaman]

Just one question - who claimed the Merkava's to be indestructible?

Jees, you can destroy a tank by hitting weak points with anti-tank rounds and by planting huge land mines under the roads! I'm shocked!

[barak219]

you can also defeat it with a nuke!thet proves its not invincibele

[Zyamaman]

Yeah, pretty much!

Some idiots think that if device A is not 100% perfect in all fields it gotta be useless and therefor doesn't worth the money and/or effort of acquiring it!

For some reason those idiots always happen to be either complete ignoramuses when it comes to military, or deliberately trying to portray the device as inferior because they have personal interests.

Lets' guess which one of those best describes AlJaseera...

[LePePeLePub]

Its funny how obsessed Arabs are. From a logical standpoint, when you fight a war, you want to destroy the enemy to the point where they aren't capable of fighting anymore. The Arabs have given actually winning for real, and instead are making whole documentaries on a perceived or small and insignificant weakness in the IDF to assuage their inferiority complex. What contrast of attitudes from 1967 where the Arabs thought the Israeli would just roll over!!

[Zyamaman]

I guess they (the leaders that is, the common Arabs are just as rabid as they used to be fifty years ago) have given on trying to beat Israel in an open conflict, which is understandable given they've failed six times... And back then they had some advantages over Israel!

I'm not really sure what purpose does this video serve , to tell you the truth.

[spallzaheer]

great clips, thank you:)
