  • Lets take religious of off this. I am from Sweden . We like too lissen the MUSIC... Not the words

  • @TheMalcom72

    If you don't care about words, why would you be a fan of an artist like Steve? I am sure Steve wants us to listen to the world and prompt discussion. Nothing wrong with respectful discussion of religion... but there is a lot wrong with a society that won't allow it.

  • @TheMalcom72

    Also, I would argue that most of the discussion below is about politics, not religion. The conflict in the middle east gets marked as religious, but like anywhere else the real issue is a history of colonialism and economic issues.

  • Top Song. Great Man. God Bless Him.

    The poison of one is the lifeblood of the other.

    and a race of armed men arose from the earth and exterminated each other and then it was quiet again

  • @fishmole

    Welll maybe they just thought that enough is enough... most of their relatives got killed in the holocast and they came to their own country and then all countries around them attacked them... and maybe then they thought that enough is enough... we wont let other people decide our faith.... And it was a war.... and the jews won..... what do you think would have happened to them if they lost?

  • someone should tell Jordan to give the Palestinians back their land

  • Comment removed

  • I can hardly believe that I'm sitting here reading comments by people advocating genocide and supporting the massacre of jews...I think we are still in the dark ages in spite of all the bells and whistles.

  • My father was a soldier,he saw the camps,piles of bones and corpses,mass graves,roads paved in jewish tombstones,the ovens...all of it....people who try to downplay what happened are delusional,it was all very real and millions died horribly just for being born.....Why would you want to lie about it and try to pretend it wasn't exactly what it was...an abomination....

  • May God bless Palestine and my family that are living under illegal occupation. We love you and will never forget our beloved Falasteen. <3

  • there will always be war over there..... right? no, wrong? maybe so but its what is it

  • Ana bahmoot fyicki Falasteen <3

  • May God bless Palestine and our families that are living under occupation. We love you and will never forget our beloved Falasteen. <3

  • who does Israel belong to? the jews it is their land and they dont fight the Palestines it is the Palestines who fight who throws the bombs? who wont return prisoners? and when they return them they come in a box. look at the prisoners israel returns, they are so fat they can not close their pants. and fishmole what do u know about Ausschwitz?

  • peace on earth very festive

  • The fate of the world will be decided in the Middle East. Do we want as Mankind to go on with the endless killing of wars?

  • Why will we not force change? Just read

  • Regardless if you agree or disagree with the Zionist movement, I know that most people want peace in all of the middle east.

  • Son of a bitch !! This page has more hatred and fucked up comments than any other page on YouTube. A battle going on right in front of God and everybody.

  • @FatherTimeST1300 ...Yes, nobody is listening to the music.

  • this is prayer at its finest -- if you don't believe it will ever happen it won't

  • Dude this is a place to discuss PEACE, not arguing about whether Israel is bad or not!!!

  • I love Steve Earle. He is a living vehicle for peace.

  • @bleumoon2u you are right, my friend, Steve has been my hero for years and years. A great man and a continuing inspiration to so many of us out here who struggle with our own demons. 

  • Comment removed

  • No you're not the only dreamer Steve. Thank you for never selling out. Thank you for your intestinal fortitude to give us truth during a time of mass deception.

    Blessings to you and your lovely wife Allison Moorer---"A Soft Place To Fall." Keep feeding those of us that thirst for truth, you beautiful troubador, you. Peace and Blessings~

  • The American Conservative: "How Israel helped create Hamas".

  • youtube won't allow links,so search "HAARETZ:Israel helped create Hamas".

    Don't believe lying traitor banker scum who try to brainwash you, stinking rat fake historians like Sageofhistory!

  • PRAY FOR GAZA

  • maybe I'm only dreamin' ♫ maybe I'm just a fool ♪ but I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school ♫

  • @LHudson73 that's because your teacher never taught you the bible!

  • My Husband and I had the privilege of seeing Mr. Earle in concert and he is a true talent!

  • what a beautiful song. all we have to do is come to Jesus, embrace peace, and there wont be any nasty people erecting walls. the Israelites should wake up and start welcoming their murderers with open arms. Then Mr. earle could go back to his opiate inspired bliss, and good , peace loving people will live happily ever after. ..

  • That's a good question Fishmole2, which I wish he would answer.

  • Well austinzman, not everyone is a fundy asshole Christian Bible thumper. I love Steve's message. But Bible-thumping Christians are responsible for things like the Crusades, slavery, Jim Crow in the American South. And they still view women as second class citizens everywhere. So yeah, I have read the Bible and alot of it is WRONG, especially when St Paul tells the slave to go back and be a good slave, things like that. Oh, and for women not to teach and be silent. Stuff like that.

  • Jews ran the Slave Trade, owned the ships, financed the auctions.

    Auctions were closed if they fell on a Jewish Holiday.

    The shipping manifests of ship ownership is at Carnegie and is Jewish. Period

    Jews also introduced smallpox blankets to indians-Jacob Amhearst his name.

    Crusades was 2 empires vying for land,one reclaiming lost land.

    Men and women have their roles and place, Paul was correct.

    That is why we were created differently, each compliments the other.

  • @StSimonOfTrent I'm sorry, but no. You need to brush up on your history and get your facts straight friend.

  • I love this song. It is a great prayer. I don't think it's ever going to happen. I hope and pray that it will, but man is an angry, hate filled, and prideful creature.

    When we could say words of love and comfort, we say words of hate. When we could preach peace, we preach war. It is sad and It has always been like this. But men and women of faith have been fighting the tide for millenia and we won't give up

  • When will they learn that they killed their last king?

  • Amen. We give so much aid, so many weapons to a country that persecutes fellow Christians. I hope that one day all the Children of Abraham will march together in peace, It won't happen until He comes back though because we are a willful prideful fallen race.

    But that said, It doesn't give us permission to slack off on the duties of being a citizen of the Kingdom of God. To pursue peace, love, and justice.

    God Bless you sir

  • Watch my video.

    It's about Earth shift. Continental Drift: One huge supercontinent, became 2 continents, then 5 (or 6) continents and then?

    I wonder, did the Middle east and its region were exist when the continent were 2?

    watch?v=j7I_eFoIk64

  • I long for the day when Jerusalem is surrounded by troops as the Lamb said 2000 years ago would happen.

    Then I see the World Court of Daniel 7 sitting for Judgment. And yes that Man with hair like wool who takes his sit there is a human being aging hippie right now! Bet for ever on that!

  • PM Netanyahu, may I suggest to you that not a single humanist cares about the exact numbers: whether it was one or four millions Jews who died in Auschwitz, no one doubts that the camp was a horrible place. Yet, one question must be answered once and for all: how is it that the Jews, who suffered so much during that war, managed to get themselves involved in a colossal racist crime against the Palestinians (1948 Nakba) just three years after the liberation of Auschwitz?

    Gilad Atzmon.

  • Awesome comment! Also, why should we mourn the Jews when more Russians were killed in WWII by far?

    Are dead Jews more important than dead Russians? I think not!

  • @fishmole2 you ask a retorical ? because people like you that dont believe in The Truth and inerrant nature of the Bible.Its all there if you choose to believe in what you read.Read Innocents abroad by Mark Twainand you will see that During the turn of the century that no one lived in this " God Forsaken place " until the Returing Jews Drained the Malaria infested swamps and built the county back up Israel has been the Home of the Jews for over 7000 years and will always be.You need a History L

  • @austinzman Sorry, but when Jews started arriving in Palestine around the turn of the century, there was one leaving for every 2 that arrived, because they were disappointed that they had been misled, and the land was not empty waiting for their return, but was actually inhabited, by Palestinians. There is no doubt that they led the advancement of the region in the area of scientific progress and such, but the moral decline has been substantial, to say the least, esp the uneven body count.

  • Wrong

    Land was called Palestinea, Syria Palestinea, British Mandate of Palestine for 2500 years

    Abraham came from UR-Babylon/Iraq, migrated TO Egypt, stole the Egyptians silver and Gold and then parted the sea to Palestine, ethnically cleansing the indigenous people

    90% of Israeli Jews are Asian Mongols, 7th century CONVERTS, former Phallic Worshippers with no tie to the Holy Land aka Khazars

    Thats why Woody Allen and Alan Dirtshitz dont look Semitic or Arabic, they arent.

    Read 'The 13th Tribe'

  • @fishmole2

    Let me remind you that if the Arabs had accepted the partition plan in 1947, there would be not one refugee today.

  • @RaananVolesPianist wtf?idiot

  • @fishmole2 see you have it backwards because of the zionist propaganda.

    Jews have always acted like this,and they have been hated thoughout history for it.

    Germans knew who starved their children and started WW1 and they wanted revenge.

    You don't have to look any further than the Torah or Talmud to see the horrible genocidal racism disguised as religion known as Judaism.

  • @fishmole2 How is expulsion of one's enemies in wartime in any way comparable to the attempted murder of an entire race?

  • @fishmole2 it was their land long before that....

  • @fishmole2 hi gilad. if i'm not mistaking, in 48 there was a war between jews and palestinians in israel. i dont care who started it. but what is certain is that the jews eventually "won" and they live and control israel to this day in reletively democratic manner. the events of 1948 did NOT have a racist character(at least it wasn't intended). it was simply a war, a civil war in which on side was jews, and the other was muslim arabs. I'm willing to doubt what i learned at school if you are.

  • @fishmole2 Jews were Palestinians too mate, the 'palestinians' aka Jordanians refused a state of their own in 48.

  • I was there! Steve did a nice set. This was a great treat after miles of marching with 300 or so thousand of my new peaceloving friends.

  • I think steve's doing the best work of his life right now, his early songs got him fame , fortune and a story..but this is the stuff

  • Nice sounding song - after that its meh

  • Thank you Steve for doing your part to call attention to the atrocities that the Palestinians are forced to endure every day of their life. God bless Palestine and the children with the stones.

    Ana bahmoot fyicki Falasteen!

  • @Sayklly So every rocket launched by Hamas and the rest that kills a person who is just trying to live, has no right to live?? Fuck you. And Fuck the terrorists that you love. And as a matter of fact, the "Palestinians" as you call them, took that name From the British Mandate, 1917 or so, from the extinct people call the Phillistines. Piss off asshole.

  • Fuck you, buddy-Khazarian "Jews" have no historical claim to Palestine. Their homeland is 800 miles North at the southern tip.

  • You call those that resist Occupation, 'terrorists', rather than those that Are The Occupiers.

    Very Talmudic of you.

    Those 'rockets' have no explosive charges on them, and resemble those we use on July 4th.

    Few if any casualties in the last decade.

    Hamas was created BY Israeli Mossad to counter PLO and Arafat.

    They are The Political Party in Palestine

    Israel wants 'peace' the same way a robber wants you to be peaceful while he robs you of your possessions and life.

    And F*CK You, Bagel nazi

  • @StSimonOfTrent

    Before you go making remarks about the Talmud, you should go study it. It's one of the greatest intellectual accomplishments of mankind.

    And just because Hamas isn't very competent doesn't mean it's any more benevolent.

  • Intellectual indeed.....

    Jewish Talmud:

    "All Gentile Children are Animals"-Yebamoth 98a

    Jesus was born a Bastard & his mother, Mary, was a Whore (Mishna Yebamoth 4,13

    A girl of the age of 3 may be Violated... (Niddah 44b)

    "When a Jew murders a gentile there will be no death penalty. What he steals, he may keep." --Sanhedrin 57a

    Death of Gentiles by Beheading is recommended (Pesachim, 49b)

    Baba Kamma 113a. Jews may use lies ("subterfuges") to circumvent a Gentile.

  • hmm. haven't thought of "women in black" in a while.  wonder how they're doing.

  • This is a very powerful song. I'm forever hoping for Israel and Palestine to stop fighting.

  • God wills it!! you cannot deny god!! or you'll burn!! or so I'm told. it all sounds like nonsense to me.

  • @ArgyllRanger123 There will never be peace as long as zionist terrorists hold power.

    It's not fighting,it's genocide,

  • @dieyoubastards Oh, yeah, I suppose those rockets which come sailing into all points in Israel fire themselves. No provocation at all. Sure.

  • @SageofHistory tell me something sanrt-ass,do you know who admittedly created Hamas?

    No you don't because you are a brainwashed moron.

    It was Israel.

  • @dieyoubastards What's a "sanrt-ass'? Sheik Ahmed Yassin, an Arab, as are all Palestinians, created Hamas in 1987. I am an historian. I know the history of the region. Sell bullshit somewhere else.

  • @SageofHistory you are a moron.

    Listen to Dr.Paul for a minute,he knows what he speaks of and doesn't lie.

    video reesponse just for you

  • @SageofHistory search: Ron Paul Israel created Hamas you believe the manufactured lies of "history" you are no historian you are a brainwashed moron.

  • @dieyoubastards LOL You're a mildly retarded conspiracy theorist. Say hello to Elvis for me, I'll stick to peer reviewed, documented, historical and eye-witness accounts. If you or Ron Paul produce a primary source and lay it out for scrutiny I'll listen. Until then your slack-jawed, unsubstantiated, anti-semitic bile will fall on deaf ears, as well it should.

  • @SageofHistory fuck you piece of shit traitor banker brainwashed idiot scum.

    Israel admits this,it is mainline history,but you know the moronic public is too stupid to realize the facts.

    Scum-sucking pigs like you are the reason America is no more.

  • @dieyoubastards I'm not in America you limp-dicked, redneck, revisionist, conspiracy theorist. Go jerk off and cry in your closet as per usual. Aren't you late for your lot-lizard job? I'm sure a trucker somewhere needs a blow job, and toothless hillbillies like you are the cats pajamas.

  • @SageofHistory you talk like a coward lying baby killing Israeli scum.

    Real brave when you can hide behind a computer screen,or mow down innocent kids with your machine gun.

    But you would never say one word to my face you fucking parasitic worm scumbag.

  • @dieyoubastards I love internet tough guys. "Real brave when you can hide behind a computer screen" <- That's what you're doing. I didn't insult you until you insulted me, so deal with it like a man, instead of throwing a tantrum like a child. If you want to talk rationally, I'm happy to oblige. If you want to spout bull shit, slither down the drain with the rest of your kind. You dish it out, I'll dish it right back in a double portion.

  • @SageofHistory DUDE GROW A PAIR!

  • @greenwooby How exactly was I not?

  • @ArgyllRanger123 There is no, and never will be palestine. And until that is realized, and I don't expect it to be, the fighting will never stop.

    

  • Good call, steve..

  • Worst places in the world... like jeruselem.. he got that right... a desert rockpile stupid humans have been fighting over for millenia....

  • kdshfksdjgf, Jerusalem is at the heart of and a metaphor for the conflict between Israel and Palestine... And just 'cause it's visually beautiful doesnt mean it isn't torn a part on the inside, not unlike some of the most celebrated and esthetically pleasing people in the word often are... Listen to the *whole* song or read the lyrics, its replete with biblical imagery... You know stuff like the Lion and the Lamb laying in peace another metaphor

  • kdshfksdjgf, Jerusalem is a metaphor for the conflict between Israel and Palestine... And just 'cause it's visually beautiful doesnt mean it isn't torn a part on the inside, not unlike some of the most celebrated and esthetically pleasing people in the word often are...

  • u r a d-bag

  • He talks a lot but i like him. Saw one of his sold out shows a while back, Awesome.

  • My imaginary friend is better than yours... It's the same on all stupid sides, they will forgive themselves and condem their brothers in the same the breath. God's not away on business. We are right here...

  • Comment removed

  • This is my new favorite song. Thanks for posting it.

  • I liked the young Steve Earle, but his life experience have developed him into a truely great artist in middle age. He sings with passion and integrity. You sense that the best is yet to come from this brave representative of the common man.

  • "I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham

    Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem"

    amen bro,amen

  • IMO this is one of Steve's greatest songs. That's saying a lot; he's a wonderful tunesmith.

  • i began watching the wire a few weeks ago, and this guy popped up in it. he's got a great zen-like persona. a brilliant voice. he looks fucking cool. i love especially his version of way down in the hole. and now i hear his other music i will definately be listening to him on my ipod.

  • Nice stuff, no seriously though nice

  • Steve Earle has quite possibly one of the worst hair styles. Why doesn't he just shave it off??? It especially is screaming to be made fun of in "The Wire"

  • who cares.... just listen to the music.

  • Has it occured to you that Steve Earle doesn't care what you (or The Wire) think about his hair?

  • Ouch! Hey corn-hole...message board Rule #1 states: If you ain't got nothing to say, go after their grammar and sexual orientation.

  • What if I am a peter-puffer?

  • My apologies.

  • Comment removed

  • @SargentAnus

    Rule #1a: spelling mistakes aside, even if you do have something to say, it's hard to resist making fun of people who can't organise their thoughts well enough to make correct sentences... especially when you've already pointed out where someone's train of thoughts went off the rails.

    Alas... if the only point to make is "you're a fag and your spelling sucks", it indicates a way of thinking that doesn't even have a clue where the rails are, or what rails are to begin with.

  • @Bietel

    I can only assume you are referencing a post made months ago. If I cared enough to search for what you are talking about, I would. Since I don't, I'll simply point out that you spelled "organize" wrong.

  • @SargentAnus Fair enough. I stand corrected.

  • People people...why hate so much?? Listen to the words of this song about Jerusalem. The end of our world is near. We sit on the threshold of really terrible times. Turn your hearts toward God. Accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your heart and life. There is a hope for tomorrow but only through Jesus. On our own we are doomed. The entire world is watching Israel & there is where the end will play out. Love one another there is enough hate in this world. Join God's army...be a winner!

  • Dude, God made this world, and -the great He - has left us to our own machinations, there is no End of Days, we are what we make ourselves, this is the point. You excuse your actions by carrying them out in the name of God, but you are undun because God has set this as a trap for your hubris.... think on that... EVERYTHING is what God willed, you cannot see it is all

  • Beautifull piece from great Man.

  • Got anything intelligent to say, nakedbison69?

    Seriously?

    Or are you just a sloganeering, vapid Right wing imbecile?

    Prove to me that you're not...I'm waiting.

    (sounds of casual whistling....)

  • hmmmmm first off Chthon128 I am not a christian if I was I would love those false Jews(Edomite Jews.) Maybe next time try to thing before you speak it might work a lot better for

    Anathema Maratha

  • fact: limitUp58 was actually born with no brain whatsoever

  • chthon the shitler-loving, gay antisemite spews volumes of hatred and scatological language. chthon the blind hypocrite loves to commit crimes against the Jewish State of Israel. chthon is an extremist antisemitic freak

  • LOL!

    You're as original as a bagel, Schmoolie!

    Long live the Palestinian cause.

    Death to the terrorist nations who support violence against a peaceful people!

    Terrorism by ANY NOTION is still terrorism; don't forget that--whether Palestinian, Ieraeli, Jewish, or Arab.

    Shibboleth akri balakia shvullethia

  • What a superb, cynical commentary on the utter ridiculousness of America's unconditional support of Jerusalem, and of Israel's heartless campaign against Palestine.

    Having said thus, limitup58, you're a fucking retard. Plain and simple as that. You can stick your Christian bullshit up your prejudiced ass.

  • what an utterly ridiculous, shitler-loving, gay antisemite that chthon128 is. having said this, chthon is a fucking retard. fucking plain and simple as that. chthon can stick his shitler-loving bullshit up his antisemitic ass

  • Got anything intelligent to add, NakedBison69? Obviously a Jew who thinks his bison shit doesn't stink?

    The support for Israel is the ROOT CAUSE for the hatred of Muslims against the USA. DO some research, asshole, outside of the Torah, OK?

    Israel is consistently on the top 10 list of Human Rights Abuses by Amnesty International, bisonforeskin. Israel is a terrorist state to Palestine.

  • chthon has nothing intelligent to add. chthon's shit stinks especially badly. the hatred against the Jews is the ROOT CAUSE of islamofascist terrorism around the world. chthon never does any research. chthon loves the way the islamofascists practice human rights abuses. chthon hopes the entire world becomes one huge islamofascist terrorist state

  • fuck u

  • I love the idiot who cheers when he says the fate of the world will be determined in the worst places in the world. No doubt they're cheering because they like the song. But it was a funny awkward applause.

  • I'm just discovering Steve Earle but what a GREAT GREAT song. If his other stuff is half as good I'll be really happy.

  • i've a decent playlist on my page of his stuff if you wanna check them out.

    dave

  • pray for the destruction of limitup58

  • Its ok

    nakedBison69 the false Jews days in Jerusalem are numbered YAHWEH WILL CLEANSE the land making way for the new Jerusalem out of heaven

    your nothing more than a false Edomite Jew

    Anathema Maratha

  • limitup58 is nothing but a false ape pretending to be human, but is fooling nobody

  • steve earl is a versatile musician and i have no political dog in this race. god bless america . and the world for that matter

  • listen up

  • Long live Jerusalem, our Jewish capital.

    41 years united!!!

  • He's actually sining against the occupation and settlements and violence...

  • the islamofascists are indeed illegally occupying the Jewish Land of Israel

  • Long live Jerusalem - capital of ISRAEL !!!

  • I think you missed the point of the song, Hammermaher.

  • drGerbils missed the point of the Bible

  • I love when people's comments get minus ratings when they show support for a U.S ally.

  • yah its totaly the worlds fault for not seeing americas forced greatness! if they dont like American they can DIE! LOVE LIVE AMERRRRICAAAAA!!!

  • See thats the thing with you yanks, 99.9% of you are sound but that 0.1% are twats, like you.

  • lol, I think the percentage might be a bit higher. Unfortunetly it's the same all over the world. Whotta place.

  • that is because there are leftists all over the world that hate freedom, hate economic prosperity, hate individuality, hate America, and hate the Jewish State of Israel

  • Let's face it NB69--you really don't have a clue what "hate" really is, do you?

    "Hate" is how the Jews treat the Palestinians. They corral them like sheep into slums, refuse to let them work, occupy their croplands, slaughter their women and children and crush them with bulldozers.

    The Jews of Israel have become the Nazi's of the Middle East.

    "Never Again!"?

    Yeah--apparently "only for Jews"!

    HYPOCRITES and MURDERERS.

  • chthon is hateful and clueless. hate is how chthon treats Jews.  chthon the shitler-loving, gay antisemite has nothing good to say about the Jews and nothing bad to say about the islamofascist terrorists. chthon is the adolf shitler of the middle east. no wonder he loves the islamoNazis of the middle east. chthon is a hypocritical murderer

  • nakedbison69--what a moron!

    Turn off Shaun Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, and maybe read something like Thomas Friedman, and maybe you'll know what "freedom" is.

    Criticizing your own government when that government is as corrupt and criminal as ours is right now is the most patriotic thing a citizen can do!

    GO OBAMA!

  • chthon the moron reads the koran, mein kampf, and Al Jezeera to get his views of the world. putting "freedom" in "quotes" adds absolutely "nothing" to chthon's "arguments" or lack of them. chthon the shitler-loving, gay antisemite is a corrupt criminal.

    GO JOHN McCAIN/BEAUTIFUL SARAH PALIN!

  • It looks like you just missed a big opportunity to suhut the fuck up, dude.

  • amen!

  • im seein him soon. its gunna be cool

  • same

  • That clapping is annoying as fuck.

  • What, you don't like people who can't keep time? BTW, I agree - it's pretty irritating.

  • "Jerusalem hero",

  • Simply awesome.

  • I'm seeing Steve Tonight in Amsterdam, Paradiso! Im so happy right now...my first Steve Earl concert!

  • You are a lucky mother then, he is a great talent and not fooled by the zionist greed that controls the world.

    the heroin keeps him busy in jail but he is a great talent and activist, america should get out of the middle east NOW

  • He was great!!!

    He sang little rock and roller, guitar town, someday, lay this hammer down and a lot more new songs.

    He also said that from up there in the sky you can't see the fucking lines!!haha, that was great!!!

    His wife Allison Moorer sang change...wow!!!!

    And in the dutch paper (volkskrant) the reporter was very pleased about steve..but gave him only 4 of the 5 stars :P the basterd:P

    (don't mind my bad englisch;))

    Hilde

  • What a great town, you're a lucky man!
