Bethlehem checkpoint, 4am

[GWC1975]

Janba32 = self-hating Jew, suffering from leftist/Muslim Stockholm Syndrome. 

[ssPsPYESHUA]

why their goverment don't give them jobs?And make it beautifull too?With trees and flowers to cover the walls...

[GWC1975]

@rowwad

Life for these people is definitely harsh, but this is a one-sided video. Now that you've posted this (and, yes, these people are human beings, but they're not the only human beings in the equation) can you post a video of a suicide bombing's aftermath in Israel to show why this checkpoint exists in the first place?

[Janba32]

@GWC1975 There were checkpoints in the West Bank long before the first suicide bombing. In the late 1970s when Israel and aparthied South Africa were close allies South Africa sent their military to learn from the Israelis how to better their checkpoints so as to control their black population. The two aparthied countries were like birds of a feather blocking together.

[GWC1975]

@Janba32

Palestinians were committing terrorist acts against Jews way before they started suicide bombings. The checkpoints have been there always to keep Arab terrorists at bay.

[Janba32]

@GWC1975 And who kept the Jewish terrorists at bay when they were bombing Arab market places, Arab theatres, Arab homes, the King David Hotel etc. etc? The Jews did not have clean hands and yet they never had to go through checkpoints. BTW, the apartheid South Africans who were buddies with aparthied Israel came in the late 1970s to learn how Israel controlled the Palestinians. They used Israeli techniques to control the blacks. Two aparthied regimes together. One gone now. Good riddence.

[GWC1975]

@Janba32

Laughing at you, fool. Arabs and Muslims are the biggest source of terrorism in the world. Period. Against Jews, Christians, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and even other Arabs and Muslims who aren't in the exact same sect of Islam as they are. Why don't you fix your own before you start complaining about others who are just reacting to the evils that your people bring.

[Janba32]

@GWC1975 Hey Bud, my own are the Jews. My relative was an ethnic cleanser as a member of the Palmach in 1948. There are trees planted in my name and in the name of my family by the JNF who planted those trees on stolen lands. My great grandfather was a rabbi. I want to fix my own and that is why is respond to people like you.

[GWC1975]

@Janba32

You should just convert to Islam; sounds like you're halfway there already with your self-hating ideas.

[Janba32]

@GWC1975 LOL You are just like the rest of the pro Israel gang who call those Jews who are upset with Israel se'lf hating. You can't stand the idea that there are more and more Jews around the world who say that Israel is not our homeland and that we stand for justice and not for occupation. We have no reason to convert to Islam, Christianity or any other religion. We want Judaism to stand for what it once did. Zionism is not Judaism.

[RachelBartlett]

This is the role model for the new TSA pat-downs.

[TownofJesus]

I stood here 3 years ago.

Part of me is still standing there.

Israel continues to dehumanise, not the Palestinians, but rather its own Israeli citizens.

Israel - your children will reap the evil you sow...

Salaam.

[eliezer017]

Israel is the only country in the Middle East controlled by its original people, the Jewish people. The Arab occupation ended. The Islamic imperialism is threatened and reacts with terror.

[rachidlocke]

@eliezer017

The opposite is true: The Hebrews were occupiers the first time they came there. The Kanaanites and others were the original people, and the hebrews came to expel them. This is at least what the bible says. Then the Romans finally expelled the Jews from Palestine and did not allow them to come back for hundreds of years. It was only after the arrival of the Muslims that jews were allowed to come back and live in Jerusalem.

[tifius]

I remember walking through here in 2009. It feels like a slaughterhouse. Such a disgusting thing to force people through everyday. Airport-security to get to work. The humiliation is total

[salgamripper]

HAIL TRUE DARK METAL!!!

[elallaharzt]

One would wish, that both sides came to their senses. In 21st Century Man should know better.

[ZZ009966]

Well, that's what they get for the suicide bombings in pizza parlors and restaurants in Jerusalem... the Palestinians EARNED their fate !

[petersz98]

The wall was first planned in 1973 there were no suicide bombers then moron. The name of the Wall is the Apartheid Wall in Hebrew. Israel is an Apartheid state. Boycott Israel and bring it down like we did with SA.

[Dengatube]

The zionist terrorist started bombing market places and arab busses in the 1940s. Two of them became prime ministers.

[elgoikon]

I love violinman. Who is he?,playing music for this people? He Looks he knows nazi cams and want teach brotherhood amongst nations. God bless them!

[pittyittymini123]

wow. the Juish people are so haraam. they would go to hell for what thay are doing. Frick!!!! Just give the muslims some space. if u dont like arabs, then too bad. we are always gonna be surrounded by them

[avenitonel]

The film talks better than any empty talks. Palestinians suffer under the brutally Apartheid fascist regime of Israel. In checkpoinds endless hours of humilations, in their villages isolated by the wall and by the assaults of Israel soldiers, of the blockade. The latest unbeleivable for their cruelty massacres of the people in the prison of Gaza, was the pick. ANd the situation is going on. Freedom soon will come.

[arashmets]

The reason there is no more suicide bombings is thanks to these checkpoints and the separation wall. Yes, it does suck for them to wait in lines like this, but when u vote hamas, a terrorist group who hides behind women n children, then u kinda get what u ask for. I bet israel would rather spend man power and money on other things besides check points. Do u realize there would be at least 100 suicide bombing terrorist attacks if ALL checkpoints were closed?

[avenitonel]

If Hamas is a terrorist group, what about the gov. of Israel? How is called Olmert that massacred 1500 people? Non terrorist? Yes it stucks to be humiliated in lines, but there is worst. There is killings, there is starving, there is demolitions of homes, there is ethnic cleansing. Why should we always deal with Israeli's fears? What about Palestinian nightmares? What about occupation in their HOMELAND?

[habbsterr]

fuck palestinians. they can go rot in their own piss

[fahd1951]

If you are man THE WORLD FUCK don't suit you...

But Hell yes you now your self "Fuck"

That's what I have to say MOFO

[habbsterr]

you do realize that what you just said makes no sense what so ever right.

go suck on mohamed towel head

[amirasssss]

@habbsterr  fuck you

[fahd1951]

Thanks for this Video

And thanks for showing the world who is the reall Terrorest [Isreal]

[habbsterr]

haha thats what you think

[fahd1951]

We Are Palestinain For who does Not know And We Love to be Palestinain...And for whom who think We do not have to deffint our Land...And they Call us by name Terr****** If I love me land and this is the reson why they call us this so be it I am what I am and I love my country..And My soul for my country

[PibedeOro28]

I dont understand how peoples who where killed and treaten like animals can treat other ones the same way. How stupid and cruel are the humans.

[yonataneshel]

if you're seriously comparing the holocaust to this you're an idiot, nothing more. if you can compare standing in lines to work and standing in lines to gas chamber - man, you're beyond redemption.

[yonataneshel]

harsh footage. yet, let's keep in mind that these are PALASTINIANS, citizens of a foreign (and currently hostile) entity, requesting permission to enter the Israel. this is no different from the US-Mexico border crossing.. hundreds of terrorists have passed through these checkpoints and commited attacks on Israeli, therefor every one must be checked. this is as simple as that. Israel have the right to screen people entering into its territory, wouldn't you agree?

[mcrentoe]

Yet, lets keep in mind that Israel pushed palestinians from the lands they had lived for ages, and still continues on pushing them to a smaller and smaller area. Palestinians have a right to be mad about their homes bulldozed and their olive tree farms ripped off the ground, wouldn't you agree?

[yonataneshel]

mcrentoe- you people just LOOOVE telling yourselves those fairytales don't you? sure, it's much more comfortable than admitting to yourselves how your grandparents simply and shamfully fled the country on first signs of war.. (and those who didn't, those who chose to stay, were'nt harmed in any way- they still live INSIDE ISRAEL, on THEIR OLD GROUNDS like always.. those who lost their lands are only those who ran.. what do we owe them exactly?

[yonataneshel]

and one more thing mr. mcrentoe; you say "Palestinians have a right to be mad about their homes bulldozed and their olive tree farms ripped off the ground".. sure, be mad. but when your definition of "mad" is wraping your body with explosives and bomb yourself in a shopping mall, or on a school bus, or a restaurant, well.. that's a bit of a problem. YES, even if your precious olive farm was ripped off. that makes you a terrorist. wouldn't you agree?

[flprocess]

they're land is not getting smaller and smaller, Israel withdraw all the settlers from the gaza strip and did not conquer any other land insted so that makes it bigger, not smaller. the homes who get bulldozed is sad but it belongs to terrorists - that is our law. you go bomb yourself while killing innocents(children and woman) - your house get's demolished. yep, it's not fair for us but we are peacful nation.

[mcrentoe]

So, you're honestly stating, that all the millions of Palestinians are just simply...terrorists? Either you're ignorant, or hopelessly brainwashed. I honestly think neither. You're just closing your eyes from the misery Israel is causing to Palestinians.

[flprocess]

ROFL, I didnt said all palastiniens are terrorists, I said and I back my word - THEY ALL SUPPORT THE ARM STRUGGLE AGAINST ISRAEL. they cause eyes of misery to themselves.

[mcrentoe]

I don't state that all the soldiers of Israel are the executioners and torturers of innocent Palestinians, and I don't state that all the Palestinians are terrorists, killing innocent people of Israel. You're blinded by anger and misled, Yonataneshel. Open your eyes. We're all human here.

[mcrentoe]

And one more thing: The land IS getting smaller. The settlements are spreading as we speak. They connect with each other and cut Palestinian territories in smaller and smaller Islands. And you know its not easy or fast to hop from these islands to another.

[flprocess]

palastiniens can use these roads and more: there are special roads designed to make palastiniens life easier and jewish settlers are not allowed in them. how's that?

[1michelleandrade]

this is really sad on what the Palestinians have to go though i meat a parson from Bethlehem and hes really nice i couldn't imagine what pain hes gone Though

[flprocess]

as a formar IDF soldier who served in Betlehem I can say it is very sad. it is very sad they support the terror, participate in the morning's stone throwing on soldiers, hide terrorist in they're houses, throw molotovs on soldiers and the worst - they think it will help them against Israel. all the things I just said - is things I remember from my time there in 2004-2005.

[LeftReader]

ALL WALLS MUST FALL! I hope to be there when this wall is being smashed to pieces, just like the berlin wall.

[lordbemylight]

I just walked through there a week ago! I toured Israel with a group first thing this year and Bethlehem was part of the tour, and we had to walk through this checkpoint.

[USAFalling]

Welcome to the Aparthied cattle grid.

[nooocooo]

However he is neglecting to show why these checkpoints exist and without them what happens. If anyone wants to help end this then instead of protesting the checkpoints and walls, protest Hammas, Fattah, Hezbolah and other terrorist organizations who are subjugating there own people to this situation. Get rid of terrorists controlling Palestinian neighbourhoods and then we can get rid of the security measures in place as a result. Unfortunately a few bad apples spoil the entire batch.

[faraskan]

if you really think the way you are writing, then i feel sorry for you.

Occupation creates resistance. As long as israel denies an indipendent palestine, there will always be groups like hamas, Fattah.

Hezbollah is not palestinian though.

Violence creates counter-violence and only israel can stop it. but the israelian government doesnt want to.

[nooocooo]

The money went into the pockets of there corrupt leaders and into the means for smuggling weapons. The societys speak for themselves and after 60 years look what Israel has accomplished and built.. and then look at what the Palestinians have done when they could have been investing there time and efforts into building infrastructure and social institutions instead of trying to destroy Israel and harbour terrorist.

[LeftReader]

No justice, no peace. Israel consistently blocks consensus at the UN.

[seanindubh]

How sad you think this way. You know the IDF were formed from Haganah, a proscribed terrorist organisation? Israel only accomplished what it did with the help of the US. Recent UN reports on the conflict in Gaza? It's fine to have an opinion, but try to think before you post it somewhere. Peace in the middle east, for all.

[flprocess]

You know what Haganah means? "Defence". Wiki: It was a small group of Jewish immigrants who guarded settlements for an annual fee. At no time did the group have more than 100 members.

You know what Islamic Jihad means? "Islamic Struggle". Wiki: Their goal is the destruction of the state of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Islamic state.[8]

[nooocooo]

It's sad what these people have to go through. The old lady is right, it shouldnt be that hard to get to work in the morning. Unfortunately without these checkpoints suicide bombers are sent into public schools, malls and market places blowing themselves up along with innocent Israeli civilians. Those videos are sadder beyond comprehension. If this film maker is trying to prove a point by showing what the INNOCENT Palestinians are going through then he has done so, well.

[wrubs]

maybe go work in your own country and you wont be have to pass any security checkpoints ... ever thaught of that ?! oh i forgot, theres no jobs in your country because of your stupid mentallity which blames israel for all your problemes. and still you come back to israel for their help !!

[bravo45]

Jerusalem is Occupied Palestinian territory. Intl Court of Justice has already deliberated on that. So get your facts right.

Israel will pay for its crimes!!!

[Beatnut2k]

really bad, so u never change anything, u have to be lucky to live there and you think its only your country, cant believe this.

Peace

[Beatnut2k]

really bad, so you dont change anything. its not only your country and u dont let them any chance to work for themselves.

Peace

[Yashar2]

You want the chip of the antichrist Phreeolo? The best thing to do is read a Bible. (check for end time prophecies) Even if you don't believe cause at least when you see the prophecy being fulfilled,you would know what you got to do.

But whatever you do, don't miss out because you didn't know. Educate urself. Hope you see where im coming from.

Respect

[phreeolo]

the chip of the anti crist, anti-buddah, anti-(write the name of your favorite god) , i just want to know why, if we are brother in the eye of the CREATOR, right? why HUMANS do this to other humans, im not talking about a prophecy, see god doesnt have anything to do with human behavior, so if the solution of erradicating that behaviour its to become a ROBOT, then I´ll take that, instead of being a mute witness of this evil, wonder if you ever care about someone disregarding their faith

w/love

[Dunkelseele]

Better have a solid concrete wall around you when all around you sucide-bombers are swarming. Nothing wrong about that.

[sasabe121]

boring.

[phreeolo]

this world right now its insane, i cant wait the get my chip implanted, and just follow... see, no one deserve to be treated like that... nor here or sberinica, or Colombia, or Timor, Darfur, you name it; on that check point its missing the sign,

ARBEIT MACHT FREI<<< google it, i want that chip now!!! maybe then the whole world could live in peace... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!

lets get fatter and fatter, and watch youtube the whole day..

[palesbosnie]

RIEN A DIRE TOUS EST DANS LE FILM!!!!

[Malakina1964]

Why are not convert all in Jewism ?! - Be vegan, no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes, no TV, not killing animals nor human beeings, single-marrige....and than making babies.

...and we all will having peace on earth.

[sanamdp]

Not Killing animals may be. Not killing human beeings????? you should turn on your TV now my friend.

[MitzvaMobile]

I see the dificulty, was there on holiday and tried to pass a checkpoint, make war a last option,

jew from brooklyn

[ushamir]

These s.o.b's get what they deserve. If they stop their suicide idiot bombers and stop killing innocent people maybe they also be able to live a better life. They are all bloodthirsty savages whithout morales and deserve to be treated as such.

[freedomfighter84]

to Ushamir

you called them Savage, bloodthirsty, without morals and deserve it.

When i look at the died people figures i can clearly see that the number of palestinian civilians have been killed are 10 times more than the Israeli civilians.

Figures taken from Israeli peace groups.

The occupier is Israel.

10000 palestinins in israeli prisons.

since the beginning of 2008 israel have killed over 130 palestinian children.

how do u call the savage?

i can see that the israeli army is savage.

[freedomfighter84]

Every time i see this video, or pass through it, or look out of my window i remember the humiliation, insulting,and apart hide wall.

If i write 50 books about the suffering that palestinian see in their daily life, im sure it wouldnt be enough.

This wall confiscated and separated the palestinian agricultural land.

those people have no power to change anything, and at the end of the day they are called terrorist by the (peace maker) USA.

no justice in this world

Free Palestine.

[Palestine677]

god this pisses me off so much, Fuck jizzrael to hell

[dracov6664]

fuck palestine fuck muslim.

[fightback201]

dracov6664: Go fuck yourself Zionist. your going to hell sooner than you think.

[dracov6664]

he he he,fuck heel

[superbein]

It's unbelivable to me seeing that film and that people. I hope that everything will be okay for them in future.

[nreznic]

Kahanezadak, as convenient as it was for the story there were more than 29 people in that mosque and more than 29 people killed in all of Palestine, including women and children...I am sure before bombs were thrown Israel has criminal dossiers on ALL of them as well? In the end killing someonecan NEVER be justified by saying they were going to attack because just saying "going to" leaves a window of uncertainty, and anything pre-emptive (not during physical combat) is just plain MURDER...

[KAHANEZADAK]

The true story of Dr. Goldstein: Dr. Goldstein was informed that the Arabs were going to massacre hundreds, if not thousands, of Jews and that they were meeting in that mosque. He researched this and found out that it was true. He went to try to prevent that massacre and took care of 29 of the murderers (fact: every one of the 29 had committed prior acts of violence). In the mosque were discovered weapons and plans for the plotted massacre of Jews.

[nreznic]

There are three sides to every story. Palestinian pain, Israeli pain and then the truth. Truth be told, BOTH sides are acting like quarreling siblings, except Israel is like the Older brother who weightlifts, and Palestine is the 9 year old brother who is throwing rocks. At what point do you blame the 9 year old for resisting, and at what point do you blame the weightlifting brother for bullying? Both need a parent to step in and be "impartial", and that certainly won't be the US...

[BlackAdder6]

right "Israel" those checkpoints open up into more of palestine or into illegal Israeli Settlements within occupied Palestine

[bozik405]

well.. as much as it painfull for me,there is no other choice, without this barrier hunderts of terrorist will go inside israel and blow themself up in the city!

[silverdread]

fucking pigs, treating palestinians like they are animal, seems like you did learn anything in Germany.

Jews are doing the same thing hitler did to them.

[RealityCheck9807]

you r amazing i saw that to everyone i know if only the world could hear us it would be so much beter peace for palestine

[Soamsie]

Heartbreaking, particularly in the Holy Land -don't know what else to say, except keep on praying for peace - for everyone.

[redelman431]

This reminds me of the airport post 9/11 in 2001. At least they let the seriously ill pass.

[TownofJesus]

Good work Aida camp in exposing the disgraceful inhumanity and greedy expansionism of the Israeli occupation to the world.

Israeli security can not be had at the expense of Palestinian freedom.

East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank deserve to be free.

Coexistance not occupation!!

[Blossie]

The ignorant in inhumane comments here from the apologists for Israel's apartheid regime are as heartbreaking as the video itself.

[ramineu]

Very sad situation. The sad truth is' that the moment these restrictions are removed, terrorist organizations will send suicide bombers to blow themsekves up in Jerusalem' killing dozens of innocent people. This is happenning every day in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and happened many times before in Jerusalem, if not for these barriers.

[PCproductions]

There was an article about this on this month's national geographic magazine.

[sviaborgskaya]

The comments below seem to have it all backwards.  No other place in the world is allowing these folks to come in and work - yet Israel is willing to take the risk, knowing (from experience!) that anyone of these men could possibly be the next suicide bomber. The P have chosen not to remove the jihadists from amongst them, so that forces others to do it for them, and they all suffer in the process. P's have complete control over this situation - the ball is in their court to solve this prob.

[jimmyjoemeeker]

Losing your jihad sure does suck. Then again, nobody forced you to choose that path.

[IbnAlajnoub]

Unbelievable, How easy for the Victims to become the victimzers and the oppressed to become the oppressors while the rest of the world is just watching!

Incroyable, combien facile pour les victimes de devenir les victimzers et opprimés pour devenir les oppresseurs tandis que le reste du monde observe juste !

[PinkoPapist89]

Agreed, I have just seen a picture of some very poignant graffiti sprayed upon the Aparthied Wall. It said: "Israel- have you become the evil you deplored?"

[aminehayyad]

Fida, Murad and Mohammed, NICE JOB! Thank you.

[amirasssss]

@aminehayyad you are welcome

[colonspazm]

Response to Jayezzo: I am an American Jew, totally opposed to Israeli policies.

Israel was deeply involved in the false flag terrorism known as 9-11.

But The Holocaust DID happen. I only met my Grandpa and Nana because my other relatives were all killed by the Nazis.

There are MORE than ample atrocities to hold Israel accountable for. Denying the Holocaust insites hatred of ALL Jews and detracts from the credibility of those of us who oppose Israeli oppression of the Palestinian people.

[waltcol1]

I totally agree with you! It is totally wrong for anyone to deny the Holocaust. Your statement here is to be applauded. The only reason I can think of for anyone denying the Holocaust in this discussion is because they see others denying what is happening to the Palestinians and not recognising what is actually happening. Congratulations on not being one of them. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I am British with neither Arab/Jewsih decent.

[nancyalmendras]

This video is an excellent example of non-violent resistance to Israeli brutality. Thank you!

[lindamansour]

Is there a reason the video with French subtitles works and the English version no longer does? Is ir possible it has been censored?

[dreamerjs]

I'm a bit biased as I'm related to the violin player. something I don't think people realize is that he is a retired Catholic priest. Pre 9/11 the clergy had body guards to walk them around. Since then no one is safe. He is risking his life to do this. This moved me & gave me more of a view of what goes on over there. Thank you for the video of my uncle. Thank you so very much. God Bless and be safe.

[i2ad10head]

great vid.

I never knew how horrible the Israelis treat Palestinians...the Media here in the U.S. is extremely pro israel...this needs to be shown to every American, and see if any of them agree with it.

[McArtRidge]

May the zionists break the bread and share it with the palestines! All walls must fall and oppression stop

[aelkhour]

Thank you for this look into the reality of these the lives of these resilient people. Justice for Palestine. The violin was beautiful. The zionist racist ideology will fall, just as the wall.

[tidebreaker837]

May the Zionist take and keep Jeruselem.

FREEDOM for the Zionist.

[jayezzo]

I learned on the Internet that the Holocaust didn't even happen. They (the Zionists) faked it in order to take Palestine. No surprise here from those criminals.

[eileenfleming]

Thank you for this!

Beautiful film, some awesome very artistic shots.

Thanks to the crew who has the courage to film this daily humiliation with dignity and let it be known to all.

[hannaElias]

very great film, thanks.
