My thoughts go out to the suffering Palestinians.

[McGanhanSkjellyfetti]

Israel Zionism is the political Jew movement that supports the reestablishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine which, 1. does not belong to them and 2. they are stealing and 3. they are killing for it. Israel is a rogue state created by ethnic cleansing, specializing in terrorism and humanitarian crimes.

This savage state has no right to exist. It never had any legitimacy, was set up on a racist and ethnic basis.

[Pseudologic]

I wish I could come from Asia to live on Native lands in Canada and then pass judgments on people "occupying" someone's lands. Oh wait, I DID. Except I have enough brains to not be a hypocrite.

[mightyoak11111]

It's unfortunate that the world is being misled and misguided by all the one-sided anti-Israel propoganda. How many Jewish deaths would the world need to witness in order for them to feel that Israel is justified in defending itself from attacks.  Both PalestiniansandIsraelis deserve to live in peace. Shame on Hamas for targeting Israeli women, children, and the elderly and for using the Palestinians as human shileds. Hopefully, Hamas' capabilities will be reduced after the war.

[soisthetruth]

Holocaust survivor, Hedy Epstein: "The situation, especially in Gaza, is so awful, I feel I must continue to be a moral voice, must continue to have the courage to take a public stand against Israel's crimes against humanity and the misinterpretations provided by the media. Israel would not be able to carry out its crimes against humanity without the United States, world, permitting it to do so and the mass media..."

[531kd]

you may need more research, like reading Avi Shlaim( Oxford professor of international relations, who is a jewish man and served in the Israeli army),and another great expert on this issue is Noam Chomsky who is also jewish,listen to what they say , forget about the media. find out the truth.

[LionCome]

Does Israel not have responsibility for using their children as human shields when they settle them on stolen land in order to make it more difficult for the land to be reclaimed by the owners who are now in concentration camps?

[Pseudologic]

@LionCome You can't steal land that is yours.

[11KmPerSec]

I feel for the Palestinians too, but a sentence like this, " Since 2001, fewer than twenty Israelis have been killed by Qassam rockets, leaves me to question your ability to truly feel compassion for the people, any people, you claim to.

You are talking ratios, that is just creepy.

[davedaveturntable]

i notice you show all these amazing sources!!! why dont you try being so passaonite and live there and experince it before you shoot your mouth off

[Adam031]

Thank you Dark, our hearts and thoughts goes to the poor Palestinian nation living under this terror since 1948.

Your last argument was 100% logical ut only to oss human and not to the fillthy zionist rats.

[evilstrawberry106]

Just wanted to let you know im glad there are people like you out there, trying to tell the truth to everyone.

For all you haters, can't you see the truth when it is facing you straight in the eye?

[balterok]

What is she talking about? Basic rights?

Maybe Israel should hold their hand? Their rights are our respinsibilities?

About water. GAZA and the palestinian authority completely destroyed coastal aquifier, I understand they dont care about all Israel system, but they did it to their own water. Now, its our fault again?

You know, I wonder what is her motivation? She is definitely not trying to marry jewish.

What drives all these people? Can anyone answer?

[balterok]

I think it would be so great for all of us to get involved, msDarkSide. (sitra ahara) with our own problems. Jews with jewish problems. Palastinian ppl with their problems, without advice of brotherly help from the Great Muslim world. And asian people with asian problems. We could so much better if you keep in mind knowing exact problem should be great help in fixing it. Dont you think so?

I hope u do at least that much.

How about Tibet? Or human trafficking in Asia. Thatsanicehot'issue'4ya.

[darksideofthenation]

And for your information, i consider words like "botherhood" to be sexist , as it is not inclusive to women. The same reason i dislike words like "mankind", anyways, i wil make videos about "asian problem", but part of the problem is so many people like you see problems as "racial problem".

[balterok]

What is your business in this? Are you jewish, palestinian? What do you know about history of these people?

Feeling the heat of the issue, trying to drive traffic to your sites?

MASSACRE? this is war. and far cleaner than any country ever bothers to fight

U dont think Israel is acting in self defense?

U dont think.

Right to pals to exist? They were too many chances to exist. Too many more than they give jews.

[darksideofthenation]

I am human, which gives me a right to talk about human affairs.

[JOROSS2]

@darksideofthenation Dear dark side of the nation From your title I think you would be talking about the dark side of YOUR nation.

[Sharma19801]

Balterok, only 2 dead from rocket attacks, that were provoked by Israel after killing 6 Palestinian guards at the tunnel. Now, the whole world (except USA) is against Israel. This process will not win Israel any war....I can assure you, this war will generate a whole bunch of Muslim super terrorists, who will avenge this massacre of innocent civilians. I am not a Muslim, so best of luck to Israel. They will need a lot of it.

[themountainviewguy]

You are too young to know anything about this, so why are you reading someone else's words? Can't you discuss the subject on your own? You have a muslim boyfriend or something? why don't you quit getting all of your information from hamas and at least think for yourself a little bit. hamas just uses ceasefires as opportunitites to sumggle weapons and kidnap soldiers. they put their own children as hostages, and they shot their own people to make sure they would not revolt.

[khallaghi]

Corporations arms industry are behind the worldwide Conflict we are witnessing now in Iraq , Palestine , Afghanistan .

were behind the rise of Hitler, and were directly responsible for World War II.

[tthatsrightt]

***oh and hopefully with obsama's leadership, More good people will take part and finally help,and,free,,the oppressed people of the world,,like the Palestine's,,and others.

**ideologically good and fair people of the world, (the jimmy carters of the world) stay on the side of goodness,fairness and truth,, like in,who is the real "David and Goliath.

[Falastiny]

GOD BLESS YOU !

Look at my latest video, showing that israel's killing CHILDREN in gaza.

[CameraManly]

Your argument seems to be that because Israel are able to defend themselves, that they shouldn't. This is absurd.

Israel's only goal is to eliminate the threat to their people and their nation. If Hamas force them to take lives to do so, that is regrettable military necessity, and in no way "punishment". Stop asking for people to lie down and let you kill them.

[darksideofthenation]

I am asking people to respect the cease fire and tried to come up with a peaceful solution, and i don't think Israel tried that hard enough.

[jackson32]

80% of the palestinians in gaza descended from or were people who lived in Israel proper and had they're land stolen from them by the Israeli's. More "defensive measures" by Israel.

[masoudnaz]

What occupation? The Gaza was part of egypt lost in war to Israel> The gazans came to existance 1967 war.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Gazana are carpet baggers from egypt, There is and never have been a palastine in gaza. Hamas chose to wage war by importing weapons, terrorizing, kidnapping Israelis.

When USA won war against Mexico it annexed california, new mexico, Why USA did not give it back? People in gaza hate peace , that is why even Egypt did not want them after sinai.

[darksideofthenation]

The establishment and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have been described as "having no legal validity" by the UN Security Council in resolutions 446, 452, 465 and 471

[darksideofthenation]

The European Union considers the settlements to be illegal,and an April 21, 1978 opinion of the Legal Adviser of the Department of State concluded that "[w]hile Israel may undertake, in the occupied territories, actions necessary to meet its military needs and to provide for orderly government during the occupation, for the reasons indicated above the establishment of the civilian settlements in those territories is inconsistent with international law."

[dearborn303]

oh yea, did you hear about the protests in asia, so much asians were protesting, i thought thats was very thoughtful =] - there are protests all over the world!

[dearborn303]

i agree wit you 100%, some ppl need to really understand whats happened

[OverdueChange]

Happy 2009. And thanks for all the links. Never back down from telling the truth.

[jackson32]

We don't have any real journalists in the the US or Canada - real journalists with a spine are quickly driven out of the zionist mainstream media - so all we hear is Israel's side. We have to become the media ourselves, so tell everyone you know about the racist apartheid ethnic cleansing state of Israel.

And let everyone know that Obama is a complete fraud, he has filled his cabinet with hardcore zionists, and will never question Israel.

[KazukiSeirei]

Agreed, Israel's waving of the "self-defense" flag is a lame excuse at best. People fail to realize the gross violations of human rights brought about on the Palestinians by the hands of the Israeli Government, but are quick relate to the notion of "self-defense." An air-stike is an air-strike, and the starving and marginalizing of a people for decades is much the same, but remains unfortunately unimportant to the general public. A shame and tragedy...

[darksideofthenation]

What Israel is interested in is "regime change", the west and Israel did not like the democratic result of the Palestinian people, so they will kill the elected Hamas.

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

America's Mainstream Media is all pro Israel. If Faux news is for Israel, then yes they probably committed first strike. China........DOLL:D

[Eddiepsp]

Well I hope Dr. Kings dream becomes a reality and humanity hold hands. And for one day say free at last, free at last, free at last. Piece to the low class citizens of the world. The GOV of the world don't care about anyone. All they want is M.A.P. Money And Power. They will lie to stay in power. All GOV of the United Nations! darksideofthenation even you can tell me Canadian GOV are been a ass hole. Just like any other GOV.

Know the question will be, WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP AND FIRE THERE ASSES?

[Eddiepsp]

I almost forgot

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!^_^

[darksideofthenation]

Happy new year to you too! May your dreams come true.

[kyeot]

Who the hell digs a tunnel to kidnapp people. They dig tunnels because of sanctions, because there starving and need to transport food. The medias and isreals justification for this violence is bullshit.

[yeahwotevaman]

Nobody 'well knows' anything about what is going on there. I would somewhat trust reports from people actually inside Gaza, but I wouldn't trust the pro-Israeli corporate media.

[darksideofthenation]

well Israel has alot of weapons as well, in fact, they have a very powerful military forces, as we can see. If they intend to really keep to the ceasefire agreement, they would not go and murder hamas members simply because of the assumption that they might be stockpiling weapons.

[darksideofthenation]

* Since 2001, fewer than twenty Israelis have been killed by Qassam rockets. In three days, nearly 400 Gazans have been killed by Israeli state violence. This is a ratio of 20 Gazan lives for each Israeli life, with the death toll in Gaza certain to increase.

So i wouldn't blame Hamas for wanting to stock up weapons in the name of "self defense" as well.

[z500022000]

not so may have the guts to tell the truth, before the Israiles came from all over the world, we had peace in this regoin, but since 1930s the palastinies are geting killed because the are alive, not dead yet.

[yeahwotevaman]

"Isn,t building tunnels to kidnap Israeli soldiers breaking the ceasefire?"

No. The tunnels are an attempt to bypass the economic blockade.

[Defender40]

exactly, Israel blockades gaza because they are constantly being attacked from there and they are preventing easy access to weapons. It's interesting how palestinians didn't exist until Israel did.

[yeahwotevaman]

The latest round of rocket attacks were a response to Israeli assasinations. Hammas has a great deal of popular support from Gazans so I guess the IDF will have to kill all those people as well.

It's funny how there wasn't all this trouble until the British government decided to carve up the Palestine mandate according to the wishes of the European zionist lobby.

[yeahwotevaman]

I mean, if all you are going to do is regurgitate the same ignorant opinions you receive from Fox News then why bother commenting? Most people are familiar with the lies and distortions used to justify Israeli aggression and it's collective punishment of civilians. More and more people are just not buying it anymore.

[Defender40]

LOL, of course. It's typical that everything that would be in opposition to your argument is a lie. The truth of the matter is that both people have historical roots in the region. I don't think this can be a who is responding to what argument. This is a both sides need to stop, or one needs to destroy the other. The palestinians make it clear that they prefer the later. So, if you were Israeli, what would you do?

[yeahwotevaman]

"typical that everything that would be in opposition to your argument is a lie"

No. It has already been pointed out the rocket attacks were a response to Israeli assasinations of Hamas personelle. It is the Israeli aggression that breached the ceasefire. The economic blockade was imposed in 2006 due to the election of Hamas to the leadership of the PA, not becasue of rocket attacks from Gaza.

I don't support zionism or the jewish state for the same reason I don't support the BNP in Britain

[yeahwotevaman]

Jewish nationalism is no better than any other form of nationalism. I would say that if you support the right of zionists to control a territory, define who is allowed to belong to the national group and to assign secondary status to or drive out those who don't belong to it, then I don't see how you can oppose British nationalist doing the same here.

[Defender40]

In Britain? I don't know anything about british nationalists, nor do i care what people in that country do. I think they have the right to their opinions. I'm sure they have their reasons. I also have no problem with Israeli's determining who should be in Israel. Afterall, those who wish to kill others do not have a right to do so. It's unfortunate that Palistinian civilians suffer poverty but it seems they chose Hamas as you said. That choice came with consequences. I don't mind nationalism

[Defender40]

If there was not a perceived need for nationalism, then nationalism may not have the popular support it currently enjoys. However, that is probably a conversation beyond the scope of YouTube.

[Defender40]

"It has already been pointed out the rocket attacks were a response to Israeli assasinations of Hamas personelle."

These assasinations, I'm sure, were a response to something Israel believes Hamas did to them. Like I said, this is not a matter of responding. If it were, we would need to go back to the return of Jews to modern day Israel and the "wonderful welcome" they received or perhaps even further. There will be no peace there until there is a victor, mark my words. Neither wants to lose.

[darksideofthenation]

which is why a ceasefire is very important, and Israel did not take special consideration to honor the cease fire and try to keep to it as much as possible , so i think they share the responsibilities , i think they want this current killings/ crisis to happen.

[Defender40]

I agree that both sides are responsible for continuing conflict but I would not expect Israel to sit and take rocket fire from Hamas. Which it's my understanding has been continuous even during the cease fire. I will agree that Israel wants Hamas and it's leadership out of commission. It's unfortunate that Civilians on both sides continue to be killed or wounded.

[darksideofthenation]

speculation is not good enough to break this important cease fire , which is the best peaceful solution we can hope for in the immediate future..

[Defender40]

Which of course are in retaliation for the killings of Israeli civilian. If you'd like, we can go way back in history to determine who belongs where but the truth remains that the term "palestinian" was not in use at until Yasser Erafat popularized it. The Mandate which you refer to was established to deal with the collapse of the ottoman empire, which I assume you'll agree is different, although inclusive, of those people currently referred to as palestinians.

[darksideofthenation]

they weren't kidnapping Israeli soldiers though, it's a claim, an assumption that they might be doing that in the future, according to the Israeli.

[UBAI1982]

Thanks for supporting palestinian people!

[darksideofthenation]

peace !
