Controversial Cellcom Soccer Commercial

[theflamingredone]

I'm pretty sure this is a demonstration of us overcoming the barriers which separate us. This is a great commercial.

[desertari]

Love it! Humour and human nature together. Bravo Cellcom!!!

[Awsmization]

If you were normal people there wouldn't be a fence. you had your chance and you decided terror.

[NoSharia4UK]

@Awsmization

According to the UN and 'international Community' The Jews building a wall or having checkpoints is worse than Jews being blown up by nail packed bombs as they travel by Bus.

Perhaps they think the Jews should have thrown flowers at the terrorist scum that attack innocent civilians instead?

I love that defensive wall could do with a minefield in front of it and a few gun towers though.

[moshikon44]

When left wing movie makers and peace activists show that Palestinian terrorists are like Israeli soldiers. Or that Arabs civilians are just like Israeli civilians(although they want to kill every Jew in the whole world -alright, at least their leaders do-) Then its alright, but when its made the other way around, then its not?!

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

love the outrage from the left. lest not we forget this wall was built AFTER SUICIDE BOMBINGS! but arab lawmakers are more upset at an ad then violence and murder.

us and britain bomb terrorist a million miles a way. israel builds a fence. and the un says israel is nazi germany.

LOL.

Ya, LOL, isn't that rich?

[Maxariez]

Stupid people you all are. Only one point of view. The media one.

"Israelis are bad, Palestinians are good"

Before 1991 we had a greatest deal of peace.

There are garbage in every nation, no matter who they are - Jews, Arabs, Welsh or Native Zimbaweese.

[Zylo587]

Hooray for separation?

[matildetp]

This is disgusting.

[capnron77]

Any cynic who says this kind of moment is impossible is only paying attention to the media and the extremists on both sides. Look into the One Voice Movement and then try to tell me there aren't thousands - even HUNDREDS of thousands - of a new generation who refuse to "drink the Kool-Aid" and perpetuate the hate their elders are trying to pass on to them. There are more than enough people who want peace, they're just not loud enough to drown out the pundits... yet.

[ForeroFlower]

This is their way of softening everything up...

[supdawg9999999]

apartheid is so fun :)

@supdawg9999999 LOL !

[SelfHatingWhite]

it's so nuts that a real human being designed this commercial

[heintron]

Did goebbels make this commercial?

[Thiagonm1984]

FREE PALESTINE!

Free Palestine

This add really makes me want to by the a cell phone.

[cboshHDtv]

instead of arab children going to school and getting educated like real humans. they use them for protection. who needs this bullshit terrorism. thats why i moved out of israel, cuz of the fucking arabs.

i dont understand how this commericial is offensive. great commericial. good music.

[SwordPengy8]

I kinda like the commercial. Its adorable.

[Rookietop]

it's a hopeless situation for these 2 races. Just let them keep fighting for nothing

[cafeturkie]

Palestinians don't kick balls over the wall, they shoot rockets...

[NdrIsr]

Wall around our future border- nothing illigal about that. We did a few small changes in the borders for security and settlement issues.

If the Palestinians hadn't blown up thousands of Israelis,they might have had a say about the border- they lost that right when they blew up innocent wemon and children.

[gloomyoutlook]

Arguing reasonably with a person who twists facts and declares outright lies with a condescending self-righteousness is impossible, so I will be equally unreasonable. The only thing the Palestinians did wrong was lay down their arms. Israel deserves to be driven into the sea. You have no right to be there, and I dearly hope for your early and painful demise at the hands of the victims your country has created to the ignorance or apathy of people like you, you fucking disgusting kike.

[Excelsoft]

/watch?v=Et8VGyCDt10

[Excelsoft]

this racist apparthied wall is illegal, as state of israel is.

[IcyNove]

first of all the wall was prevented from suicide attacks from that side, and preventing from israelis to go there and do what they did then.

The commercial it self represent a friendly and amusing peace idea, but sadly you people get it in a wrong way and you should be ashame of yourself.

want to have a politic whoo ha? go to a forum for it you will even get a red carpet.

[zsoahlaeiebm]

I don't know what to say after watching this ad. But it made me feel sad for Palestinians living within that "prison"

[maxwell153]

bane of your existence. It's ok, us on the other side of the field can't imagine people like you ever getting it together and getting your head on straight. It's at this point that I say goodbye to you cousin fucker, I can't waste any more of my time beating this over the head (as much as I'd love to get 3 minutes face time with you). Just remember, we'll be watching you.

[maxwell153]

place between Israel and Palestine is so morbidly fucked, yet in the same breath it defines just how completely corrupted an individual you are. You completely personify the emptiness between what is good and bad in this world. 58 million in Russia, 3 million in Armenia? All our fault or did we actually carry out the killing ourselves? There's a reason why your life is an pathetic as it is, why you are as awkward and sheltered as you are, and why "the Jew" is your life blood and also the...

[maxwell153]

"This"? What the fuck is "this", running around in circles with a nervous, neurotic, jews are our slave rulers, dummy? What satanic website do you subscribe to that feeds you all this bullshit? You think I am apart in some way of this fairytale you have woven in your mind, that my day to day life is somehow instrumental? When the death count in Palestine reaches 6 million, let the world know. And the fact that scum bags like you equate the biggest tragedy in human history with what is taking...

[maxwell153]

as hopeless as yours you have ANYONE here convinced? Cousin fucker, ive been to Israel MANY times, have friends in the military, friends in politics, and yet there you are writting from the confines of your mothers basement acting like you know something! YOU KNOW THE NEGATIVE SQUARE ROOT OF DICK ON EVERYTHING! Now run along before I place a call to Steven Speilberg, Joe Leiberman, and Mark Cuban and have you black bagged and disappear.

[maxwell153]

discrediting us. WHAT DO THE PALESTINIANS PROVE? That they are leaderless, savage, hopeless people with a bleak future at best? They can't stand 1/1000th compared to what Israel is and gives to the world. And yet here you are, ON YOUR ISRAELI DEVELOPED COMPUTER, USING A WEBSITE OWNED BY JEWS WHO PROFIT FROM EVERY MINUTE YOU SPEND ON HERE, telling ME what time it is? Do you honestly think that aside from your boyfriend, your cats and all the other shit brained followers who lead lives as....

[maxwell153]

Merkeva. And what about the Lavi? Too expensive to build, thats the ONLY reason that project didnt get off the ground. Instead, the designs were sold to China. Does that qualify as a failure? Have you ever flown a fighter jet? Since when did you become an expert on military technology? I mean, where does a dumb hick like you have time to educate himself on such things other than the jewish plot to rule your lives, which we seemingly do with such ease considering how devoted you are to...

[maxwell153]

Are you back for some more cousin fucker? Mr. Subverted Nation himself wants another dose? GLADLY. By Jews who stole nuclear technology, do you mean Mr. Nuclear Technology himself, Albert Einstein, the Jew? WHAT FAILURES ARE YOU REFERRING TO? MRI machines? Intel Pentium software? Googles search engine? Drip Irrigation? What of ours has failed exactly when a country of 7 million people is one of the worlds biggest arms exporters? The M1 is of no use to Israel, thats why they developed the...

[antonberk]

nice one.

[maxwell153]

time do I have left before America wakes up? How much time do I have before Republicans and Democrats decide to change face, and align themselves with arab countries that do NOTHING for their economy and abandon its biggest strategic partner in the Middle East, one of its biggest tech providers, and a country that happens to share the same faith with some of its smartest and most productive citizens? You are a fuckin donkey and nothing more. OWNED. OWNED. OWNED.

[maxwell153]

from the torah. Israel hasn't lost ONE war and we're always getting our asses kicked? By who? WE RUN BUSINESS. WE RUN POLITICS. WE RUN HOLLYWOOD. AND THE YOUNGEST COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST HAS COMPLETE MILITARY SUPERIORITY. Like your computer? Software developed in Israel. Like your cell phone? Developed in Israel? Like going to the hospital and getting all patched up when you fall off your cousin? Medical technology 2nd to none comes out of Israel. And you think you got us beat? How much...

[maxwell153]

What is your people exactly? White, unemployed, violent, cousin fuckers? YOU KNOW DICK ABOUT JEWS. And tell me, who is going to lead this intellectual revolution against us? You? Subverted nation? Your dad, I mean brother, I mean uncle, no wait, is it possible for your son to be your father when you inbreed like you do? We always get our asses kicked? I'm kicking your ass as we speak, and you're telling me what exactly? That you know the torah? They wouldn't let a toothless bum like you 10 ft...

[maxwell153]

How does it feel to cross your own moral picket line? You're as pathetic as they come. 109 Exiles and fuckers like you still can't beat us! You think we're going ANYWHERE? We're your doctors, your lawyers, your politicians, your teachers, your business owners, directors, producers, actors, soldiers, YOUR SUPERIORS IN EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE WAY. You think your words mean SHIT to me? You're just another arm chair hater in this world, fed up with the reality of your uneventful life.

[maxwell153]

By my count we've been exiled only 103 times, but I guess I'm taking to an expert on how to hate jews here; you people often have your facts straight as a knife. Genocide? Pedophilia? Bestiality? YOU ARE SO FUCKING OUT TO LUNCH ON THE REALITY AND YOU'VE SHOWN EVERYONE HERE AS MUCH. You know nothing about me and my people, only how to hate us and come up with some incredibly weird claims. And yet, the hypocrite you are comes on to spread their hate on a website owned by jews!

[SwordPengy8]

There is no "my people". We are ALL human.

[maxwell153]

BAHHAHAHA!!!! Since you seem to be such an expert on us Jews, tell me, where in the Talmud does it endorse sex with 3 year olds? Rabbis were caught picking up children? - and in how much of a greater number are we finding this same behavior coming from priests? And a couple of crooked rabbis get caught for harvesting organs, and what about the Italian mafia and their connection to all of that. I don't consider non jews cattle, but I guess your knowledge of the torah trumps that to, right?

[rankshifted]

What a disgusting ad; you only see through the eyes of the Israeli troops.

[ZaraOver]

thats suppose to be nice?

[esponert105]

i dont get it wats so bad about this commercial?

[MonkeyBarn]

YAchkLa Backhla, CELL PHONEE

[MistressMitra]

Muzzies upset me!

[maxwell153]

"arab lawmakers" - now THAT is some funny ass shit. Leave to an arab to find ways to kill fun at every corner possible. Great commercial - FUCK the "lawmakers" and their bullshit. Only in their world can the marry a girl at 12 yrs. old, keep 5 other wives, and call this "bad taste".

[RubberDucky999]

I wanted to see their faced if a bomb were throw over instead of the ball

[juice797]

Isn't it so much nicer interacting with those lesser peoples when there is a wall between you?

[danielscutt]

Heh. I have to agree. It implies peace between people based on a love for a common sport.

Oh. Damn. It just hit me. Sports is heathenistic and evil! That's the whole point! Don't you see guys?! Stop playing soccer!

[chayars]

wats the song???

[indiancricketfansNY]

What is controversial about this ad ?

Stupid arabs

[SwordPengy8]

Stupid arabs? Right because if 2 arabs didn't like it then EVERY arab hates it. Its an israeli commercial, which is why they don't show Palestinians. Its a cute commercial.

[blue12silver]

okay you guys need to stopp bullshitting around this is the strongest ad that i've seen in a long long long timee i dont understand why people think its shocking or whatever honnesltyi was tearing when i saw this on tv !!

[tyndaleffect]

What doesn't upset Arabs anyways

[elterrible77]

this commercial is trying to make you think that having a big wall is good and that the palestinian are happy with it but they should tear that wall down and play soccer without barriers jew propaganda to make their wall likeable like nothing is wrong with it but you wont fool me and the millions of people who know the truth

[backtublive]

without that wall the palestinians would be all dead by now.

[carguyinok]

Sounds like some Arab lawmakers need to pull the sticks outa their ass's. More then anything I find it's a message of a unity above and apart from politics.

[khrl09]

Don't give a shit about this ad..

Just another propaganda from the creatures (Israeli)

[ClericLordLeo]

If this was real life, I would have expected many checkpoints to be raided and a grenade to come back over the wall.

[infinity217]

yeah this is actually what happened when after seeing the commercial some Palestinians tried it... 'saw it on TV

[infinity217]

of course here they think that "jews" are all the same and that there is no distinction between People who burnt children alive and any other "Jew" out there

[alexei3333]

I know only one religion it's burn children alive it's call islam.

[infinity217]

your brain is in its 80s

[oudooo]

burns children alive! where ?! ur mouth is full of shit,fucking idiot liar

[Kazhstanley]

hey calm down

[alexei3333]

In darfur kosovo and iraq.

[Yoshuayovel]

You are not going have the ball back in these two places

[alexei3333]

It's look like you are now is full of shit,fucking idiot liar .

[infinity217]

it is a commercial for Israelis and what i see is a wonderful message for peace meant to reach israelis

it depicts israelis soldiers who do not understand the reason of this conflict (and by soldiers they represent the population) , do not understand their government politics, they just don't care about it a great message from the director of this video to his people, and it say to people isn't it wonderful that way?

[infinity217]

first i am Arab from Algeria the side is set

next about this commercial i really do not understand why people think it is provoking or shocking

i actually know what they think "they want to show the world they are peaceful" no...

[M00shu]

I see what they were trying to do...

... But yeah, as many have said... it just comes off a super uncomfortable, like a Berlin Wall soccer/football match.

[MTossian]

I kinda like it

[RuflessRecords]

Look out, the Religion of Peace will probably fill it with explosives next time they send it back over. Although that isn't a bunch of civilians so they might not be brave enough.

[GamingDude12]

this seems like a peaceful ad? showing that both sides can be friends? why is this so bad?

[Valo212]

um maybe because they're showing a shot of the apartheid wall which is cutting off not only the palestinian economy, but making their daily lives hell (among other factors)...it's exploiting the situation and making it seem like oh yeah the palestinians just love to play soccer with their oppressors over a symbol of oppression. bad taste for sure.

[CarryANationIII]

Why are Israelis so racist?

[PObserver]

Because, ironically, they are 100% convinced that Ashkenazim intelligence despite their physical and genetic defects, are truly God's chosen people.

[panthera50]

disgusting.

[jomomo]

what does this have to do with cellphones?

[omerion]

It is as cool as an adversitement about nazis playing with jews in a death camp with happy music playing in background.

[manaiish]

loooooooooool

[slimshadythe2nd]

@omerion that is the best way to explain this commercial

[scspurs1992]

@omerion

no actually its a symbol that you don't have to fight about everything

[FullTangViper]

oh god this is so horribly sad. it's like having a berlin wall football match. just wrong.

[ElectricGnuOrchestra]

Way to patronise the people you're persecuting.

Geez, the South African apartheid government should have done this ad back in the 80's. We could have had the police stop shooting black protesters and playing soccer with them instead so that we could all feel warm and fuzzy about oppressing them. We really missed an opportunity there.

[c9dw2rm8]

wE ALL SEE HOW SOUTH AFRICA LOOK TODAY ???

4 WORLD COUNTRY

[ElectricGnuOrchestra]

Clearly you haven't been here and, to our credit, we do know how to turn Caps Lock off.

Screw you Gnu!

[MistressMitra]

Israel has always be and always will be in existence.

The mess called Islam was only created in 7AD!

[MistressMitra]

:o)

[stevedexteruk]

Every inch of Israel is occupied territory - stolen from the Palestinians at the point of a gun.

[MistressMitra]

F**k off you ragheads. The wall is there to keep the homicide bombers out. Excellent commercial.

[MistressMitra]

The commercial is great!

[Sharon1000000]

the commerical is not ok?- so what about that :

watch?v=xKDXGX-d4Ko

[falas6enyeh]

"it's showing people OVERCOMING the barriers, the hate, the separation. They're beating the fucking wall,"

Well Sir, how come they are beating this fuckin wall and Israel is the one who built it?

[ieventure]

they're actually trying to pu tforth a good message - they're sying, "yeah, there's a war; and yeah, we had to pu up the wall - but there are real people on the other side, too. and they're really like us..."

how's that offensive? just because the wall is shown? well, the wall is real, and it's there because there's a war going on. it's there to stopp suicide bombers from arriving in the Israeli cities...

[annamar7]

This is not a war - it's a military occupation. I'd like to see the cellcom ad with the soldiers bulldozing the wall down to play a game of foot ball.

[engelolo]

say that this was a wall of a ghetto, with Jews living inside and Wehrmacht soldiers playing ball outside to the sound of the cheering German maedels...

[Deltaego]

How could you possibly say its the same thing? Palestinians still have the right to vote, they still have the right to everything, except cross into Israel. The wall there is for the Israeli's protection. Israel would prefer if Jew-hating radical Muslims weren't crossing over into Israel.

Take note that it also isn't apartheid. 15% of Israeli's are Arab-Muslims. Only 73% of Israel is ethnically Jewish. So there is no discrimination based on ones race.

[lebanesehummus]

Deltego you're so naive and racist. The fact that there are 'Arabs' living in Israel (and mind you they are not all de facto 'muslims' and the right word for that minority is 'Palestinian') does not exclude discrimination and racism: for a brief introduction check Amira Hass, David Grossman, Gideon Levy, Ilan Pappe and other Israelis thinkers.

And besides the wall separate 'Palestinians' (and not so-called 'Arab-Israelis') from Israelis!!! You need a serious intensive course in history.

[engelolo]

sorry, but the Palestinians behind the wall do not have the right to vote, they are held hostage to the whims of the IDF and the savage settlers who burn their olive groves, throw stones at their schoolchildren, insult their grandparents and humilate their women every day. Have a look at the videos posted by btselem if you want to learn something about the middle east conflict.

[Deltaego]

Wow, talk about ignorance. The West Bank is an autonomous region within Israel. It has its own government, where the people vote. The Palestinians don't vote for Israeli leaders, but for Palestinian leaders.

You clearly know very little about the middle-east conflict yourself. Everything your saying is absolute rubbish.

[engelolo]

Autonomous region indeed, with hundreds of checkpoints and roadblocks, comprehensive days of closure and curfews that lead to high levels of unemployment, poverty, and even fatalities, restrictions on the use of water, demolition of houses, destruction of agriculture land, revocation of residency rights, separation of families, administrative detention without trial (even minors), torture that end in fatalities.

This is the freedom that Palestinians enjoy in their "autonomous region"

[thenewrapstyle]

you are a comcplete douchebag with no real knowledge of the situation in Israel/Palestine. kindly fuckoff

[kouxai]

I gave a you thumb up or something but remember those rocket that tossed back the attempts to drive the Israelis into the sea in the 40-60's. in come from both both sides. I think there will only be peace when they both get sent to bed without dinner.

[engelolo]

The problem of this argument (and the video) is that it promotes the illusion that there is a symmetry between the Palestinians and the Israelis. It seems that all they want is just to have fun and play ball as equals. But Israel is a powerful political and military entity with planes and tanks and phosphorous bombs engaging in a cruel occupation of civilians.

The "symmetry argument" is dangerous because it plays into the hands of one side:Israel and because it distorts reality.

[mgdhighlife14]

fair argument, though I saw it as maybe the two sides should just forget about military occupation and warfare and just play ball in peace? While they're at it maybe they can drop the wall and play a real game? Maybe I have too much optimism for the media...

[monsta123x]

@engelolo wonderfully said.

[scspurs1992]

@engelolo if only you understood the reality of the situation, israel is not fighting Palestinians its fighting groups such as hamas which are not only accepted as terrorist organisations by the un but are also proxies of a a very powerful enemy, Iran.

[engelolo]

@scspurs1992 If it was fighting Hamas, why is it targeting civilians, civilian industry, power-plants, sewage systems? Why are they not permitting for Palestinians from the W-Bank to visit relatives in Gaza? Why are the not letting pregnant women access ambulances? Israel is not only fighting Hamas, but the whole civilian population

[manaresi1]

Dieses Video ist super. Es zeigt die verbindenden Elemente zwischen den Menschen. Die künstlich errichtete Mauer ist die Mauer in den Köpfen, die das Zusammenleben nur erschwert.

Als "ausländischer Beobachter" kann ich nur sagen, dass ich den Eindruck habe, dass die Politiker in eurer Region sich selbst zu wichtig nehmen. Dabei vergessen Sie, was die Menschen eigentlich wollen: Spaß haben und in Frieden leben. Es gibt für jeden Konflikt eine Lösung.

[ilan219]

@malletman241

"By kicking a ball OVER the wall, as opposed to dismantling it and giving Palestinians even a fraction of the rights they deserve as human beings?"

a) That would be very difficult to show in a one minute commercial

b) That wouldn't really sell telephones

c) You're ridiculous. This is a message of fun, peace, and dialogue.

[sjmads]

I find this ad is really cute and well done. It is a feel good ad that is trying to promote communication or interaction between Israelis and Palestinians. It says at the end: "What do we all want? Some fun, thats all." To me that's a harmless message that is trying to say "Let by gones be bygones and let's all just get along." People can read into this all they like but it's so typical to take something innocent and positive and to try and attack Israel.

[joerobbi2]

Sorry, but I'm with mrdevious. This ad is only about hate or segregation if that's what you want to see in it. This whole controversy is another sad commentary on our society. Everyone wants to be offended because that makes them a victim, and victims get sympathy. It's too bad people can't drop the self-centered whining for five minutes and just enjoy an entertaining advert.

[malletman241]

No, it's racist garbage is what it is. Notice how there's not a single Palestinian on-screen? Notice that the Israeli's are the ones who built the Apartheid wall?

"A great message of overcoming segregation and cultural differences!?"

By kicking a ball OVER the wall, as opposed to dismantling it and giving Palestinians even a fraction of the rights they deserve as human beings?

You're a deluded individual if you think the people who recognize this for what it is are "touchy."

[mrdevious]

I can't believe this ad is upsetting people! It displays a beautiful spirit of friendship where two long-warring peoples play together despite the wall separating them. It's a great message of overcoming segregation and cultural differences. People are getting WAAAYY too touchy, and completely missing the point.

[adibzaher]

missing what "point" you idiot... is it the one that shows how "good" to have a high walls between neighbors, so high you can't even see or hear?? or is it the great "fun" these soldiers are having with the "others" locked in a cage that no one comes in or out?? what a stupid and sad thing to say that this add shows "spirits of friendship"... yes ppl get touchy when an outrages ad like this broad casted on national TV and give the wall such a legitimate grounds!

[mrdevious]

You normally go around insulting people, calling them "idiots" just for having an opinion?

The commercial never indicated that the wall was a good thing; it's showing people OVERCOMING the barriers, the hate, the separation. They're beating the fucking wall, nullifying it's intended purpose of separating them.

And you sir - along with malletman241 - are a couple of pricks.
