[TheA340guy]

[GanEdenAustralia]

Very true mate

[alpharomeo]

[lovelightlucidity]

fucking drones, robots, have no idea what your protesting..you make me sick

[tamer270]

shutup free palestine

[AYesod]

My name is not Igor(WTF?) and Im not talking to you but to leftie andy.

[dudemantwo]

where is the sign saying free the world of dirty Zionists?

bastards...bad immigration policy in Australia...

[dudemantwo]

andy are you gay? You sound gay...

The video I see here indicates to me that Australia is letting too many immigrants from dangerous Third World nation...

there was a time when Australia had tough immigration laws...

[AYesod]

a real australian at last!

[BestLyyf]

What makes you more Australian than any of us? I was born in Australia from Arab parents and I count myself as much Australian as any1 else living in Australian. Different cultures or values does warrant for an attack on any minority. This is not a protest against Australia but a dreadful situation that affects the whole of Arabia deeply. What happened to the great multicultural nation that is Australia?

[sophiahaq]

@dudemantwo Racist much? There was also a time when European convicts came to Australia and slaughtered the Indigenous population.

Just because you don't know anything about them, doesn't make them more dangerous than someone with your racist mentality.

[dudemantwo]

sophia haq...what did I say that was racist?

Stop making ad hominums...

Some Polack here is making racist remarks like calling Israel Hitle's Nazi Ghost...

I find it rich...since many Polacks collaborated with the Nazis...

Polack...if you hate Israel...go join Free Gaza Now...

I am sure when you get Israel...you will soon collaborate with Arabs to get "Christ-killers"

Polonia = Collaborators of Nazis

[NAWAHA08]

Brother even your opinion is the majority, the USA supports the evil, they cannot liberate themselves from the powerful jewish community, though many jewish are turning these jews are minority. So long USA will not liberate themselves from Israel and judge on base of truth, we are on the path to a incredible mankind killing war. Only if USA stands up and does not allow Israel this siege and mass killing and this genocide

[noplanesforsure2]

These rally's are gay, we need to inform the world that 9/11 was done by Jews as has every act of terror since ww2, wake up...these jews even supplied the explosives in Bali, they did Madrid and London 7/1, these 'Hamas' rockets are manned and fired by Israeli proxy agents..wake up please..stop your slumber, these animals have unlimited budgets, the zionists are even in charhe of these rallies..wake up pleassssse. Look up Israeli terror groups..just do it..wakkkkkkkkke up!!!

[takvera]

Lets not go into conspiracy theories, please. Or I shall be forced to remove posts.

[beyzasaunty79]

the orthodox jews always say that its the zion jews that is causing all this ..dont get it mixed up.leave the poor rabbis alone,

[patriotoz]

palestien is being. treated like a concentration camp isreal didnt exsist for 1900 years and the people who live there are descendants of ashkenasi jews that took on judaism around 800 a.d their land was a place called khazaria and were known as khazaars there land was around southern russia/ north of turkey.. jews christians and muslims lived in the area in peace before isreal

[askrem1]

The scumbags in the united states are going bankrupt, with all the money they spending on wars trying to contain Muslims around the world, anyone with half decent brain knows they spending billions every year supplying israel with there latest weapon so they can use them on defenceless women and kids. usa and israel are pure evil.........

[AYesod]

fuck off red scum, as the matter of fact green and brown too.

[takvera]

I really don't need to delete this. It tells the world all it needs to know about you.

[AYesod]

Rather about you. The fact is what communists, nazis and islamists are most genocidal ideologies in the world.

We talk about more then hundred millions victims here

[takvera]

Yeah, but we are talking about Israel here! Not about Stalinism or Islam or Nazism. Israel is committing the war crimes in Gaza.

[sophiahaq]

@AYesod

The Crusades...have you suddenly forgotten about that? Jeez.

[AYesod]

@sophiahaq Im not, many jews were slaughtered during Crusades

[andybsan]

Thanks for this. Good for the people of Melbourne who turned out to protest the slaughter by the rogue Israelis.

[AYesod]

its not a "people of melbourne" just a local coalition of islamists and commies.

[takvera]

Oh, so you were there at the rally, then? If you don't like my report of the rally, you can always Google the report published in The Age newspaper, or SBS News. But I fear whenever there is opposition to the State of Israel you see "islamists and commies", and jewish hate. You are blinded by your ideology.

[AYesod]

I dont like the rally itself. It soo wrong. I feel like these people personally attacking me and my right to exist(and they really do).

[askrem1]

Jews killed jesus do you they will care if they kill women and children.

[Diablo45dem]

gotta love ignorant fucking youtube comments like these

[AYesod]

What an example of who supporting such rallies.

So if you nazi, racist or just hate Jews - you're certainly fill in next anti-Israel rally.

Zionist and Proud.

[takvera]

Christians, muslims, Jews were all at this protest. It is the Israeli state that is demonstrating racist and fascist tendencies in the dispossession and settlement of palestinian lands and homes, and the seige of Gaza since 2006 as punishment for the democratic election of Hamas to power.

[AYesod]

Oh you even brought few Jews over there. Did they wear yellow stars on sleeves or you have more advanced technologies now?

No matter what you say, its a fact - if you participating in such rallies, you either very naive misguided person or Jew hater.

Theres no alternative.

[takvera]

There are many alternatives, but I think you are too blind by your ideology to see them. Whether you like it or not many people around the world, including many jews around the world and in Israel, oppose the military and settler policies of the Israeli State. 10,000 people protested in Tel-Aviv the other day against this most recent attack on Gaza.

[AYesod]

Pot calling kettle black. You're one who censuring and deleting my comments, so don't even dare to tell me about being blinded.

Once again where were you and your buddies when arab bomber killed 21 teenager at dolphi disco? If you're not brainwashed zombie or little goebbels, give a honest answer - its ok to kill Jewish children and women? If not why you not protesting against arab militants also?

[takvera]

As far as I'm aware I have not deleted any of your comments. Where does the terrorism and war from both sides end, AYesod? Maybe when the palestinians achieve some social justice for their forced relocation and dispossession from their homeland? When people like yourself pressure your Government to meaningfully negotiate a long term resolution, yes even with Hamas.

[AYesod]

if you not paid propagandist look on how many anti-Jewish hate your video is provoked. If you just a naive misguided persone, stop now and think about what you have done, about all anti-jewish violence which is going on in the world right now partly because of people like you. Why oh why you hate my ethnicity so much?

[takvera]

I see some anti-Jewish hate and a lot of anti-Israeli State comments. So what are the death stats for the last two weeks? About 600 palestinians and how many Israelis? 10, 20? Israel's use of military force is out of all proportion and is being condemned around the world! Why do you hate resolving the issues and negotiating a long term peace between Israelis and Palestinians?

[andybsan]

"Anti-Jewish"? There were Jewish people there too you twit. Being anti-Israeli policies or anti-Zionist is not "anti Jew" so just STFU already. That lie has run its course.

[AYesod]

Oh c'mon its like people ain't have their own eyes. Just look on the comments already. Maybe few self-hatign Jews were on this rally it ain't change a fact what its nature is virulently anti-Jewish.

[andybsan]

Er, so any Jew who protests what Israel is doing is a "self-hating Jew"? How deluded can you get?! Again: anti-Israeli policies vis-a-vis their violence towards their neighbours or anti-zionist school of thought does NOT equate to being anti-Jewish. Your argument is completely retarded and you look like a fool trying the same old lie.

[dudemantwo]

andy...oh shut up...

[andybsan]

How, er, intelligent of you. Can't argue against a point so its "dot dot dot shut up."

Thanks for the video, takerva. The more this genocide in Gaza is put in front of people like some of the posters here and the more they squirm and contort their arguments into knots, the better.

[AYesod]

Of course it doesn't equate but very close to it. Dont be such a blind fool, just look on the comments already or google "anti-zionist". Theres a huge bunch of antisemites in disguise of antizionism and you know it.

Now, are you australian? If so when you gonna give back all land stolen from native population? Its about hundred gazas you got there bitch.

[takvera]

And the current war and massacre in Gaza just creates more hatred of the state of Israel for many people. It's time to resolve the stolen land and palestinian dispossesson for long term peace between jews, muslims and christians in the middle east.

[zahraa31]

If you were intellegent enough to actually listen to the video rather than look for random vidoes and comment underneath.. you would have know that this is no racist rally.... we arnt against the jews .. its the country you call Israel that is at fault, its the government that is committing these acts not the religion. It seems your the one who is racist considering you were angry enough to resemble us to nazis.

[AYesod]

They are not random. It cold hard truth and its proved by life - every anti-Israeli initiative sooner or later become an anti-Jewish.

[AYesod]

And yes you're much worse then neo-nazis, because they at least honest about their intentions while you need to covers you in a sheep's fur of lies about protecting children and other bullshit.

The blood of civilians killed by hamas in Sderot on your hands too...butthe innocent small children only good if they ain't Jews right?

[takvera]

Every palestinian and israeli death is a failure by the Israeli state to come to terms with the dispossesion of the palestinians and their right to return to their homeland, compensation for dispossesion, and peaceful existance, rights that you claim and mostly enjoy.

[AYesod]

Thats a lie, are you really that brainwashed to the point of oblivion? When terrorists blow up children and women its their responsibility not Israeli state. Its have nothing to do with ideology. Admit it, delete your stupid video, leave the ranks of protesters and better go help local community. Go distribute food among homeless it would be much more positive and helpful.

[takvera]

The Israeli State and you are wrong. Wake up and do something about the injustice created at the time that Israel was established, and continues with your settlement programs on occupied palestinian land. You could always join the peace movement in Israel you know, something positive.

[AYesod]

How about injustice created at the time Australia was established? I assume you're no aborigine australian so how about give back all land stolen under "terra nullius" edict? Or if you're not Jew you can do whatever you want to?

[mastercapyton]

They need to quit rallying and running there mouths over here and go over there and try to do somthing about it i'm sick of seeing this shit here.

[AndreXtra]

I saw Pali Mickey Mouse Farfal teaching kids 2 hate israel. Maybe 1 day u will love your kids more than u hate jews. If u wantstatehood & peace maybe 1 day u will kill those who r putting arming u & using u as cannon-fodder 4 their war.

[ElmiZulkarnain]

What the F*&@ are the Israelis thinking??? With the bloody US using its Veto power to outrule any security sanction against Israel, this Jewish state continues to KILL and KILL.

[SexyeIegant]

Where is now the world to condemn Israel for excessive use of military force?

When the Russia attacked Georgia whole world is condemning russia for excessive military force?

let's shame world, hypocrisy is present on your every step.....

STOP killing and slaughter of civilians in Palestine by the IDF-Israel Devil Forces

[aussieslasher]

Why isn't the United Arab governments doing something? Why cry out to western countries for help, when you will accuse us later of putting our nose where it doesn't belong. All Arab Governments talk and talk of destroying Israel, well, here is the chance, why not get up and act instead useless theatening, your people are crying out.

[zo1dberg]

"Why isn't the United Arab governments doing something?" - because they want Palestinians to remain in the shit hole they're in - they're political pawns in this sick game. If Israel looks bad, that's bonus points to them.

There will never be a free Palestine - if Israel disappears, the land will be under control by the neighbouring Arab states or it'll simply be annexed. It's a race/religious issue - it offends the arab leaders that jews control a small part of the middle east.

[MakedonsKapRiNcEzSa]

well belive me jews will never be extinct

[SuperCoolPaki]

Israeli military is full of pussies, why don't they try fighting REAL armies???? Like the Russians?? Too afraid huh?!? I think yes.

[studentforever01]

Isreal the evil of the planet.

if u missed this one then:

Rally Sunday Jan 4th, 2009

2pm

State Library of Victoria, Melbourne.

Support the brothers and sisters

[triumphsoul]

I hate how the mainstream zionist controlled media states it's only islamic ppl protesting which is false!

[takvera]

Sometimes they get it right - see my quote from the Age newspaper below which detailed the diversity of people at the Melbourne protest. Mainstream corporate media have their biases but it is a mistake to generalise too much and label them all as "zionist controlled" - they are not.

[studentforever01]

yes it is only, only Christians and Muslims were there.

[takvera]

No. The rally "included Palestinian Muslims and Christians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Muslims from other countries, and Australian-born protesters, including Jews." (the Age) The people carrying the red flags were probably all atheists! The point is, it was a broad cross-section of concerned people from different ethnic and religous backgrounds in solidarity with the people of Gaza and justice for the Palestinians.

[zo1dberg]

"The people carrying the red flags were probably all atheists!"

Heh - what would they prefer? A socialist Palestinian state where religion is illegal?

How do i get off this planet?...

[GanEdenAustralia]

communists?

[something2]

All of the people there are against the idea of the Israeli state itself, not its actions taken against the Palestinians. This is only an excuse to gather around and shout hateful slogans towards Israel.

[takvera]

Many people attended for different reasons. Some against the idea of the Israeli state, many for justice for the Palestinians, many to express outrage at the brutality of the Israeli state as an occupying power, and many out of compassion for people suffering in war.

[something2]

Too bad I can't see any anti-Hamas signs in the video, that is a one-sided biased demonstration made by hypocrits if you ask me. It is only reasonable to think that there would be another side in the story.

[takvera]

There was a broad spectrum of people there which "included Palestinian Muslims and Christians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Muslims from other countries, and Australian-born protesters, including Jews." - from the Age Dec 31, 2008. Yep, thats right. The military assault on civilians in Gaza horrifies Jewish people here in Australia, Israel and round the world. Checkout Israel IMC to find out about protests there.

[something2]

That's strange, really, because when Hamas slaughterd Fatah members and innocent Palestinians in Gaza I don't recall there were any protests or demonstrations against it in any country. Not one word from "activists" world wide. Are you pro-Palestinian or simply anti-Israeli?

[takvera]

I'm pro-social justice, and at the moment the palestinians need my voice to speak out in solidarity against the brutality of the attacks launched by Israel in the last week. You might be interested that the Independent Australian Jewish Voices has come out condemning ongoing Israeli military attacks on Gaza. Google them.

There are many many people, muslims, jews, christians and atheists around the world opposed to the inhumanity and brutality of the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

[something2]

Look, I respect your opinion and I know there are many Jews and even Israelis who condemn the raids in Gaza but it seems to me you are not so educated with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict otherwise you should have known that a greater threat for the Palestinians is Hamas whose members took the government by FORCE. Not to mention that Hamas also controls the Palestinian media, police and arm forces in Gaza so no Palestinian living there could speak up against it. What do you think about that?

[takvera]

When Hamas was elected to power in 2006, Israel started the blockade of Gaza in punishment. I am not a supporter of any palestinian faction. The Chief of police in Gaza was a Fatah appointee who chose to stay on under the Hamas administration, He was killed when Israel bombed the police station.

Why is Israel destroying medical infrastructure and personnel in Gaza? As reported by Physicians for Human Rights Israel

[regretfulflyerxxx]

Maybe they blockaded it because Hamas to many countries is a terrorist orginaization. The USA , UK, France, Germany, Canadia, Mexico and many others consider hamas a terrorist group. Look at how Al-Quadia dress, and how hamas dress's..Look how terrorist attack and how hamas attacks. How do you see any difference?

[zo1dberg]

"When Hamas was elected to power in 2006, Israel started the blockade of Gaza in punishment"

Punishment or self-preservation?

You and those who speak the same words as you can scream "democratically elected government" all you want, but it doesn't stop the fact that Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel in its charter.

[freshmintburst]

That is precisely why the Israeli Ambassador to the UK encouraged the offensive on Gaza. Naturally, as in any war, there will be civilian casualties! But when it is all over and Hamass have been eradicated from the Gaza Strip, then peace can be ushered into the Middle East.

[regretfulflyerxxx]

Collateratal damange. Hamas hide in civlian areas. Yeah the USA would still persue you even if you hide in populated civlian areas, as would Russia. Israel is no diffent. Isntead of hiding like a coward why not fight in front of your civlians to protect them. Hmmm because they're a terrorist organization thats why.

[regretfulflyerxxx]

If the terrorist elected goverment decicdes to attack other countries like Afghinstans Al-Quadia elected goverment. Then we'll go in and clean out the CannonFolder. Rules of war, don't kill women or children, Only engage targets that engage you first, Never target civlians like hamas does. But I wouldn't expect a terrorist Islamic extreamist to follow international law for rules of war and engagment??? I don't think you have to add extreamist to islamics becuase they all are.

[Diablo45dem]

DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED.... you must be actually retarded do you know what Hamas is? I guess not. Hamas is a terrorist organization who uses terror and fear to control it's people

[zo1dberg]

"just go around murdering other peoples elected leaders" - Their elected "leaders" call for the destruction of Israel in their charter. Hamas will not stop until either they are stopped, or until they've killed every Jew. Read their charter and you'll see.

Now tell me, if a bunch of people voted for your destruction, would you not ensure that you, and your people, are kept safe?

[IMANSMUMMA]

yes, ther r many ppl worldwide that r against the way the israeli state was built on the backbone of a pre-existing indiginous ppl>>>> its not so much ther existing an israeli state, its how it was formed and the location on which it was formed, and the consequences that resulted on the existing ppl of that land>>> need i say more.

But ofcourse, ther r those racists out ther who still rant about ther not even existing a palestinian ppl....reminds me a bit of the holocaust deniers actually;)

[LePetitGrosse]

@IMANSMUMMA if you want to talk about pre existing indigenous people, then the Jews are the real indigenous people, it was mention in the torah, the bible and even the quran itself.

[ramio1983]

This was POWERFUL. What an amazing turnout!

[aussieslasher]

Or, ask Iran to help - oh that would be good.

[aussieslasher]

Why don't all of you concerned people, get on a plane and go help fight- if you are so worried about freeing Palestine.

[perazh]

Israel started the massacre during the new year holiday when people are not ready for reaction.

They say that was a respond to rockets but now was revealed they had the plan since 6 months ago. and you can not justify selfdefense in occupation.

The Zionist media is working along with corrupt governments for minimiziong the event

Good job keep up the nice work

[takvera]

I don't agree with you in labelling the corporate media as Zionist, but certainly there is a bias there.

The Age used a photo of the Melbourne protest in their printed edition that really didn't evoke the true character of the protest. The photographer took many photos, so I suspect it was a sub-editor who selected the pic they used to carry a subliminal message that it was only angry young men at the protest, rather than a broad cross-section as seen in my photos and video.

[perazh]

The main stream media belongs to Zionists with no doubt FOX,NBC,CNN,ABC,CBS,,,,

(96% of All)

Have a look at "Zionist mass Media" here in Tube

Peace

[perazh]

Thank you for sharing the video footage.

Please put this video as a response video to mine which was the protest of the people of the Brisbane.

The Zionist media didnt even mention it in the TV

and they call all the protests was by Areans and Muslims but what we saw was different.

[ProudYid]

what a bunch of sorry low lives & wankers - either just misinformed, stupid, plain bigoted or all of the above.

Hamas openly declared war on israel and even sent rockets into israeli towns even when there was a so called "truce."

if islamist superamicts attack u or a fellow western country, you would apply a different set of standards and rules. you accuse Israel of occupation...is that mr pot calling mr kettle black?? Wankers!

[takvera]

Thanks for commenting. 46% of Israelis oppose the war on Gaza. The President of the UN General Assembly, Miguel D´Escoto said on Dec 27 "The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war." Violations include "collective punishment", "targeting civilians", and "Disproportionate military response".

[zo1dberg]

"46% of Israelis oppose the war on Gaza." - Well, it's great that Israel is a free society where its people are allowed to be vocal on such issues.

"Miguel D´Escoto said on Dec 27..." - exactly right - Israel really should wait around until Hamas gets better weapons to kill Israeli civilians with and they should wait until Hamas kills a lot more Jews in order to make it fair. More Jews need to die for it to be legal, right? These UN elites are such humanitarians!

[62SaRa62]

I Know they had one here in adelaide the other day but does anyone know if they are going to have another one?

[perazh]

we one in Brisbane on Saturday

[perazh]

*we have one...*

[IMANSMUMMA]

You dont throw rocks at man with a machine gun

[c732martel]

"Bring a friend, bring several, bring your neighbourhood.. We want everybody to turn up and show their compassion and support not only for those killed and injured during the present Holocaust in Gaza but through out the occupied lands of Palestine/Israel."

Holocaust injuries?? Get real, it's an unfortunate conflict like many others at present, not a holocaust. How do you propose peace, when you instill in peoples minds that a holocaust has happened in Gaza. Stop the moral equivalency.
