A. D. Godley's 1920 translation of the crucial line states, "This part of Syria as far as Egypt is all called Palestine", while Robin Waterfield's 1998 updated Oxford translationrenders the passage this way: "This part of Syria, all the way to the border with Egypt, is known as Palestine."
"...they live in the coastal parts of Syria; and that region of Syria and all that lies between it and Egypt is called Palestine." (VII.89) The above translation by Harry Carter is featured in the 1958 Heritage Press edition of Herodotus' famous work. Both older and newer versions corroborate the accuracy of the reference.
Specific references to "Palestine" date back nearly five hundred years before "the time of Jesus." In the 5th Century BCE, Herodotus, the first historian in Western civilization, referenced "Palestine" numerous times in chronicle of the ancient world, The Histories, including the following passage describing "Syrians of Palestine":
Around the same time of Ovid another Latin poet Tibullus wrote of "the crowded cities of Palestine" in a section "Messalla’s Triumph" in his poem Delia. We can always pay a visit to public libraries....
,Israel's claim that the change of name of Judea to Palestine was done after Jesus Christ's death is a BIG LIE! Because contemporaries of Jesus were already mentioning the word Palestine in their works, for instance in the first decade of the 1st Century, the Roman poet Ovid mentioned Palestine in both his famed mythological poem Metamorphoses and his erotic elegy The Art of Love. He also wroteof "the waters of Palestine" in his calendrical poem Fasti.
I am not sure if this video is fake or not, but 1 thing I am very sure of is PALESTINE or SYRIA PALESTINE as some ancient people called it, IS NOT A FAKE STATE! I am not against the Jewish People but I hate what they are doing to the Palestinians. Im no Muslim nor a Judaism follower,but if you,people who claimed Palestine is a fake state and never existed, better read all History Books, from Herodotus, Chronicle of the ancient world down to the oldest to the newest bibles, PALESTINE IS THERE.
@O51887 Yes the name Palestine has been used, this however does not mean that there is or ever was a state called Palestine, there is no evidence to suggest that. The name "Palestine" was used to refer to a region, not a country, Palestine is merely a geographical term just like Scandinavia.
We keep hearing that people are starving and eating grass. But some of the people you filmed were enormous! And it sure looks like there is plenty of food around.
@halcyon0830 this is about a month before the war genius. and 3 years after the IDF pulled its troops and defense posts outside of gaza into israeli land to settle a peace deal in 2005. Look up Gush Katif it was an israeli settlement worth billions that had to be destoryed and the 8,000+ people that lived their were forced out by the army, in Israels unilateral disengagement plan, in gaza and the west bank for peace. A peace which never came.
Thanks for sending this to my mailbox but hey, no matter if you can show me chic stores or something like this, the fact is Isreal must stop act against UN Resolutions and talk about "peace" by killing civilians or destroy hospital in the same time. Period. As an atheist my only wish is to see people live in peace. But liars are the ones who make war in the name of peace.
@acolyte27 (And I mean, even my own country, France wich is sadly making some kind of war in Lybia...Anyway, I hope that this conflict will finaly end someday.)
virtually every humanitarian aid agency in the region, including red cross, amnesty international, and human rights watch, has declared the situation in palestine a "humanitarian crisis". when 80% rely on foreign aid, around 50% are unemployed, there is "chronic malnutrition", hospitals get up to 12-hour power cuts daily, water and sewage infrastructure have fully collapsed in some areas, etc. etc.
keep in mind the video is before Cast Lead took place.
all of thse organizations are not really "in the region". Amnesty international, as well as human right watch and red cross reaports are fully based on PCHR, a PALESTINIAN human rights watch organization, not on independent reaserch. Gaza strip has no humanitarian crisis, the Hamas have a lot of money, the problem is that it uses it to buy rockets and dig tunels rather than caring for it's civilians as well as in the west bank- Arafat was one of the richest people on earth.
Gaza is not heaven, but there is surely not a humanitarian crsis in there, there is high poverty, and this is because, and only because Hamas, while Israel, how absurdic it could sound, does the best that Gaza civilians will not starve, as giving them aid in food and water. they use the fact our soldiers gives food to the people of Gaza to attack Israeli civilians.
This video is from an Israeli Tourist company (Road90) which tries to make Israel seem a lot better than it actually is to induce tourists to visit.
Keep in mind two things, they selectively show footage from the best parts of Gaza and make a big deal out of the fact that Gaza is on the ocean (no shit).
Secondly, this video was shown before Israeli Operation Cast Lead in which virtually all of the Gazan infrastructure was destroyed or damaged.
This is the way they choose to live in, even inside Israel. they dont pay any taxes, the partially build houses for the same reason, becaused an unbuilt house is tax free..they steal property, they deal with fake industry and drug dealing..they get cloths, food and supplies from Israel, and get even more from israeli arabs trading with companies like "Fox" and "castro", which is what they wear..
@Entaruadunexecutor It still looks the same, been there this month actually,, the bombed houses were mostly rebuilt, and they live in huge tax free building, all supported by the TAX PAYING CITIZENS OF ISRAEL
@oldmcbran yea, tell that to all the Palestinians still living in tents because Israel still won't allow reconstruction material into the Gaza strip.
I know being a Zionist is tough these days oldmcbran, I mean supporting ethnic cleansing, apartheid, a brutal military occupation, and a medieval siege (as described by the UN) must be tough on the conscious.
But seriously, don't mock the Gazan people, they're suffering intensely and don't need your bullshit.
@Entaruadunexecutor Palestinians living in tents? they have bigger homes than I have inside of Israel. but it's so easy for people that are not AWARE OF ANYTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, or kids that never stepped outside their own country to judge other places and people. if you want proof go to gaza, I have not more to say about that- GO TO GAZA, the enterance is free..by land. been there, done that.
@Entaruadunexecutor Now about them suffering, yes they are suffering BUT not by the hands of israel, but by the hands of hamas that siezed the area after a short civil war with the fatah. Everyone can tell you that, and you can ask arabs inside Israel and in the west bank and they will tell you that. Hamas takes all the money Israel gives, and all the supplies, and use it for weaponry and tunnels.
As an Israeli I wish hamas will perish, not the palestinians.
@Entaruadunexecutor They are great farmers, and most of them are great people But when someone cries out "itbah el yahud" and fire rockets near my home, am I going to sit still or do something about it? the siege is legal, and it's our right. hamas is a terrorist movement and the people of gaza suffer daily by their hands, while some of the palestinians Hail the hamas and call them Shaahids- martyrs of allah--here lies the problem.
have a great day, and dont judge what you dont see 4 yourself.
@oldmcbran and when Israel drops 2000lb bombs on Palestinian homes in Gaza, enforces a brutal blockade on 1.5 million people, and continues to fire thousands of artillery shells, tank shells, kidnaps thousands of Palestinians from their homes in the dead of night, and kills thousands of Palestinians in their homes, do you think they're going to stand around and do nothing about it?
Did you not expect the Palestinians to fight back after you stole their land?
@Entaruadunexecutor Is that the new arab pride? lying and then believing all the nonsense you imagine in your sick head? Hamas is the only common enemy palestinians and israel share, because we ourselves are not enemies. Hamas took over gaza, and keeps firing at israel, not the palestinians- but HAMAS. hamas keeps taxing the citizens of gaza and stealing valuable supplies.
But then again I wouldn't expect someone like you who just repeated old Israeli lies that are not even accepted by Israeli historians anymore like the "Palestinians left their homes because the Arabs told them to" when the Israelis were ethnically cleansing them from their homes to create your ethnic supremacist state.
Also how are Palestinian citizens of Israel living good when there are 20 laws that discriminate against them?
Hamas is the democratically elected government of Palestine. They removed the call for the destruction of Israel when they became a political party, accept the 2 state solution, and renounced suicide bombing all in 2005.
Furthermore, even if they did want to "kill all the jews!" as you claim they do, how would they do it? With home made bottle rockets that use sugar as a fuel source?
Again, when you steal someones land, they will fight back.
@Entaruadunexecutor he who comes to kill you- kill him first. they started jihad on us because of jealousy and hate, not because we stole "their" land. this is a jewish land and nation and they should accept it, and hamas was no elected legally it seized the chair by force after a short civil war with fatah, but you probably going to deny that as well. and the fact that the hamas rules of cunduct mention killing the jews, even today.
No one started Jihad on you. The Palestinians fought you, and many continue to fight you because you ethnically cleansed 90% of them from their homes, massacred their people in mass, and force the remainder to live under a brutal military occupation, apartheid, and siege.
They will continue to resist you until you begin to see them as human beings and grant them their human rights.
@Entaruadunexecutor yasser arafat admitted that palestinians are not natives to this land, and that they are refuegees from lebanon and parts of syria, those who used to live here and abandoned when the arab armies wanted to "drive israel into the sea", now leave inside israel and are called israeli-arabs, and they hate hamas as well. how come the west bank is not sieged? how come every arab lives his own life? living good!? how come?!
@Entaruadunexecutor strange an "ethnic cleansing" yet the population count is still the same and keeps on growing..I wonder what that could be..
I do see them as humans, too bad they see me as a pig, according by their precious holy book and holy men..So it's ok to kill me, thats swell..
but there's no point of talking to the likes of you, its better talking with someone who has some sense in him and is not brainwashed by muslim fanatics..
@oldmcbran and you didnt answer me, why dont you go to gaza? why dont you go and see for yourself if you are so dedicated? take a plane, go to the south of israel, its a 2-2.5 hours train, enter gaza and see for your own eyes,,the markets, the people- go there.
when i commented the phrase (muslim bastards), i was refering to a relgion not a race as islam is a relgion so would you like to explain how exactly my comment is racist?
okay wow . ur just digging a deeper hole for youself. lol are you dum. i rather be a racist than curse at a religion. cuz tis way your making fun of god. please keep your thoughts to yourself.
thanks for the insight, even though the Israeli military had entered parts of Gaza before that date, the violence got really intense between Dec 20 and Jan 10, that's when the media really looked into it and Israel copped a lot of flak for that
"some Gazans" ? in a territory of 1.5 million people, you picked up few minutes of pictures from 2 places in Gaza city, a usualy crounded street and the place where live the families of the Fatah officials. Read Amnesty or UN reports if you REALLY want to know the situation in Gaza today. There IS a chic center because as usual in History, occupation and blocus affects most of the people, not all of them. Remember about Iraq ? and road90 is a nice site of pure propaganda... nice references !
En fait, la caméra reste posée en 3 endroits différents, au débouché du centre-ville (principal lieu de passage) puis dans le seul quartier chic de la ville (Rimal). Pas d'images rue Nasser, ni rue el Jala, ni Zeitoun ou Darraj, rien sur le camp de réfugiés de Shati, ni sur le quartier populeux de Sheikh Redwan. Et je ne parle-là que de la ville de Gaza, on pourrait se promener aussi à Jabalya, à Khan younis ou à Rafah, des temples de la misère humaine.
Thank you for this extra information. This video is not a denial of a misery some Gazans are/might be living in, but showing you that it's not all misery in the first place (as you might believe when watching television nowadays).
Tell me, e.g., how come there actually IS a "chic centre"?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
israel is just suck...n also american...
1) the reason why they (israel)attack palestine is bcause they jealous because the last prophet(Nabi Muhammad) not born from their race.
2) N secondly is becoz they afraid tahat Islam(the HOLY religion) spread..becoz in america,the religion that spread the fast is Islam...Islam is a peace religion..
people who say that Islam suck or all the palestine should die is the most stupid people i ever known...
Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?
We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians.
When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out.
Hamas is firing rocket becaause the israel zionist(Hitler ideals) regime never stopped building jewish settlements on illegal occupation from PALESTINE TERRITORIES
and Hamas doesn't want to kill the Israeli civilian..their objective is to open up blocked supply lines so that they can bring food and oil into Gaza. the rockets hit the civilian area because Israeli soldiers were hiding in residential area."
Jordan occupies 75% of what would be considered British Palestine, yet no one considers them an occupying nation.
There was never an Arab country called Palestine. As the eminent Arab-American historian Philip Hitti described the common Arab view to an Anglo-American commission of inquiry in 1946, "There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not.
that is quite a stupid saying I have to say, the Jewish people exsist something as 4000 years, some scholars belives that even more, and considered one of the most old nations on earth, wich borned in the land strip of Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories, and for ever lived there, from 1000 BCE until 1948, although in some parts of this time most of this ethnic group was in forced exile. the Palestinians started exsisting, defyning themselves as diffrent people from 1967.
or maximum, if beliving some of unrespected Arabic scholars, hundred of years and not more. however, this opinion isn't accepted in historic comunity and it is much more accepted to think hat the Palestinian people start exsisting in 1967, when Israel occupied the west bank and Gaza strip and made those people diffrent than the other Jordenians and Egyptians. later, this comunity grown biggerby Arafat's ideology and began to include all people lived in British mandate of palestine in
@Yamisrael Well I agree that the jews existed from long ago... But the arabs existed before the jews...and they have an older tradition And history than the jews... Go and get a new history teacher....!!!
I think the one who need to learn history is you. you don't know how ridiculos your claims are. the Jewish people had a kingdom in Israel before the word Arab, as well as the Arabic nation had exsisted. do you know king David? do you know the judges that were before him? do you know Moshe, the great profit of god that exsisted even before them 3000 years ago? the Arabs exsists from 600 years after Jesus's death, and their religion was based on Judaism.Arabian tribes though, are quite
ancient (the paganic ones) but not as the Jews, and the Jews also can trace their history much back, to the Hebrew tribes and to ancient Mesopotamia. your claims are real entertament though, to think that the Arabs are more ancient than the Jews- Muhamad had established the Arabic nation, it is wreeten in the Quran also, under the religion of Islam, wich is a religion that is based on Judaism partly. this is such a basic fact that I thought every human on earth know it, I guess that not
apart from this, this basic fact those not apply to our disscution. you talked about the Palestinian nation, and I sayed that not only their exsistance as a nation is disputed, the first time they started to call themselves a nation in in 1967, if to be based on the mainstream in history reaserch and if to be based on Palestinian and Arabic historians in a few hundred of years, not more.
I mean, I respect the Arabic culture a lot, they have done beautiful things, but if you mean music, and Architecture, it is worth to mention that those things were borroued from the sorrounding nations, as Persians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Berbers, Egyptians (not the Arabic Egyptians of today), Pheonicians and, yes, Jews.
@Yamisrael I agree. Arabic culture is truly wonderful and full of so much inspiration.
Sadly it's been held back by corrupt radicals. How do the Palestinians spend the £1.5 billion they receive in aid each year? Suha Arafat inherited an awful lot of money from Arafat.
I don't know if the Arabic culture itself is being held by corrupted men, but there is a movement that grown for years without the notecing of the west and now got to it's peak, the movement of Juhadi fanatical Islam, and that's put a big shadow on the beautifl Arabic culture, so not anyone can see it sadly right now. a man is needed to be smart and to seperate the culture of the Arabs and the culture of fanatic Islam.
@AdultAlchemist All arab countries were not existent until recent years in the past century. Before they were occupied, they were just considered part of the ottoman empire. However, that does not deny the fact that people actually lived there, and it doesn't deny the fact that Palestine was some sort of sacred land that had it's own significance. I think it's Pathetic that people justify the killing of Palestinians and the oppression just because they believe Palestine never existed. Fair?
@dxbblackwolf Nobody in there right mind can possibly say that killing can be justified because Palestine never existed. However, the so called occupation in Israel today is nothing compared to the ILLEGAL occupation the Jordanians commit everyday. All of the British mandate of Palestine (which included present-day Jordan) was supposed to be for the Jews. they were swindled out of 75% then the west bank and Gaza....a call for justice must take that into account to.
@bryanfla93 Well, yeah. It's well known here that 90% of Jordanians are actually Palestinians. Is it really considered an occupation when they were just running away from getting killed initially? Just because the Jews were legally given the right to occupy a long time ago, doesn't make what they're doing to the Palestinians until this day any less of a crime. Legal or not, who's doing the harm is very obvious to me.
@AdultAlchemist 'Jordan occupies 75% of what would be considered British Palestine, yet no one considers them an occupying nation.'
Jordan hasn't set up hundreds of illegal militarized religious settlements outside of it's territorial boundaries. It hasn't taken over it''s neighbors capital like Israel has in East Jerusalem to mention just two of the reasons the world is so critical of Israel. Just because terrorists are criminals doesnt give Israel the right to collectively punish so many
Out of nearly 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has not been absorbed into their own peoples' lands.
Arab nations still maintain generations of the descendants of refugees in "refugee camps" under squalid conditions with the hope that someday they will dislodge the Jews in Israel. Lebanon maintains nearly 1/2 million refugees in conditions that are 1000 times worse than muslim Palestine yet the world remains silent for these poor souls.
the US also put Saddam Hussein in power in the late 70's/early 80's to fight Iran, meanwhile the US was also funding Iran's Shah (which means King) to fight Iraq. The US played both sides, killed countless thousands, and never once promoted democracy as it claims to have. Nothing has changed. Do some more surfing, and you too might uncover some truth!
But you dont see it do you? ISRAEL is acting like that now, they are suppresing a small group of people, they have created in Gaza a ghetto. If you do your research you will find that HAMAS waas created by Israeli intelligence to combat the threat of the PLO, it backfired of course much like the Al Quada USA friendship.
moeb i agree with u, i only know that osama bin laden and exttemest muslims are like that, filled with hatred and killing, i should know since im a sunni my self
im a muslim and i love all u guys! THIS IS OUR RELIGION its not about hatred and violence its about loving caring but u ppl think of arabs as terrorist just because of some of those crazy maniacs who kill inocent ppl by bombing there selfs but muslims in general r good ppl. and about wats happening in Gaza i mean 1070 ppl dead 3675 injured and 450 r in bad condition and they r all inocent helpless pll and still the israelis r kill more now who do u think r the terrorists?
I think the people of gaza are the terrorist, they elected the criminals in the first place and they knew what hamas would do. Hamas only wants one thing, the total destruction of Israel. It is not going to happen guys because the world is behind Israel and hates all you islamic terrorist.
It is time to stop being stupid and start to think about what is the best for your children and hamas is not the answer.
These people don't seem like the evil,terrorist,babyraping monsters stuck in the stone-ages like all the Zionists try to portray them as.They seem like normal well adjusted individuals going about their productive lives.Hell this looks a little like my old neighborhood.Why does the Israeli government have to kill all these people?
Because they are all murderers and insane. If you don't see it, you are insane also.
Hamas instead of buying food and medicine, buys weapons and rockets and then cries that Israel is evil.
Well the people of gaza are insane and retard and stupid. How can you support these criminals, how can you put your children through this all the time. Why don't you grow up and do the right thing for your children.
Stop this stupidity now, get rid of hamas before it is to late.
"Well the people of gaza are insane and retard and stupid"You do understand how racist you sound,don't you?Also,unless your willing to "grow up" and make an intelligent arguement.People won't very inclined to listen.
To do the same thing over and over and expect a different result each time is insantiy.
The people of palistine have gone through this cycle how many times now?
Only insane people would fire rockets into Israel when they know what will happen to their people. Hamas does not give a shit about their people, they are only interested in the fight against Israel no matter what the cost. The strange thing is the people support them, so they must be insane as well.
I don't agree with Hamas,I never said I did.The Israeli government is just as morally corrupt,only they are far more dangerous to the world for the fact of their shear firepower.Use of chemical weapons on a civilian population is insane also.
Your president saw the danger of the axis of evil and attacked it. Islam is a clear and present danger to the free world and terrorist splinters like hamas and hezbulah must be ground into dust.
I don't agree with anything Bush has done.He has helped destroy this country.Islam never attacked America and neither did Iraq or Afganistan,so please save your brainwashed,delusional justifications for killing innocent children.
The saudi arabian terrorist that did 9/11 trained in afghanistan. By the way, they were muslims.
Iraq was a freebie.
There are no innocent children in gaza.
Every terrorist attack in the last 20 years has been by islamic terrorist.
Prisident Bush saw the danger but his friends were the saudis, they should have been bombed back to the stoneage, however I think he must of had oil interests there.
All in all, it is still islam that is the clear and present danger for peace in the world.
1-Hamas cannot lose this conflict. Militant movements feed off martyrs, and Israel is delivering the maimed and the dead by the truckload. Hamas fighters, armed with little more than light weapons, a few rockets and small mortars, are battling one of the most sophisticated military machines on the planet.
2-And the determined resistance by these doomed fighters exposes, throughout the Arab world, the gutlessness of dictators like Egypts Hosni Mubarak, who refuses to open Egypts common border with Gaza despite the slaughter. Israel, when it bombed Lebanon two years ago, sought to destroy Hezbollah. By the time it withdrew it had swelled Hezbollahs power base and handed it heroic status throughout the Arab world. Israel is now doing the same for Hamas.
AND what the Arab governments are doing is absolutely NOTHING.
They sleep long hours, eat good food, take nice warm baths, and fooling around, while their brothers in GAZA getting killed days and nights. Every hour an average of 2 to 3 Gazans died, and 20 to 30 Gazans get injured, with 35% of the injured being in critical condition.
This attack on Gaza is an Israeli push to crush or expel the Palestinians. The images of dead Palestinian children, lined up as if asleep on the floors of the hospitals in Gaza, are a metaphor for tomorrow. Israel speaks to the Palestinians in the language of death, and The Language Of Death Is All The Palestinians Will Be Able To Speak Back With. A small group of brave Gazans are fighting for 325 million Arabs; that never happened in any nation of that size.
The incursion into Gaza is not about destroying Hamas. It is not about stopping rocket fire into Israel. It is not about achieving peace. The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use the lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenseless civilian population, is the final phase of the decades-long campaign to ethnically cleanse Palestinians. The ethnic cleansing of some 800,000 Palestinians by Jewish militias in 1948 was the start.
This is very important ... I want you all to witness the appalling humanitarian crisis that existed in Gaza due to Israels blockade before this war even began. Please watch watch?v=l4g1-HTJYEk
Als de cameraman of vrouw langs de grensposten was geweest en langs de ziekenhuizen en de gevangenissen, dan was er een totaal ander beeld te zien. Het ziet er allemaal rustig en vredig uit in de straten, het lijkt net een straat in jordanie of in egypte. Het is een facade, want als je die mensen die je op straat ziet lopen zou interviewen, dan zouden ze allemaal zeggen: "er is hier geen vrijheid, we leven onder constante bedreigingen" Jammer dat er niet geprobeerd is die mensen te spreken.
Hamas dragged Israel into this conflict by making claims that Israels' blockade was causing an "appalling humanitarian crisis". This video clearly demonstrates how Hamas was lying to the world. They further claimed that Israel fired first in November of 2008. I can prove that's a filthy lie too.
Israel is killing them because Hamas would not stop firing rockets and killing or attempting to kill and terrorize Israelis. If you haven't got that into your head yet your skull must be extremely thick.
I'm all about the love, dude. Your comparison of the Warsaw getto and Gaza just shows your complete lack of historical insight, and it made me quite nauseous.
They are not hungry as they claims plenty of food and happy people only very naughty Hamas fired 1730 rockets and 1528 mortars shells into Israel in 2008 alone. Remove Hamas and non of this war would have happened.
Israel was recreated in 1948 (there was an israel way before, btw - a kingdom; so that's why i'm saying recreated). Before 1948 there were jews, arabs, druze and bedouins (the latter two referred to as arabs sometims as well), persians (bahai), circassians, brits (they were in control, ya know) and many more.
not only english but greeks, romans and the byzantine had conquered the land before the brits...
isreal never had a country on its own before 1948... 50 years of history isnt mush to claim all the land and resources as yours and killing people just because they are not of the same religion...
i am an atheist myself and i dont care whether israelis are jews and the arabs are muslims... all i care is that there is a conflict and i think is unfair... thats all...
Perhaps this video will be of help in answering your question. ----> watch?v=qdH0XxDEjG4
I am unaware of Israel getting taxes and water from Arab lands. If you could source this claim I would certainly look at it. I do know that Israel was witholding tax revenue from Gaza as part of the blockade, but this money has been returned as a gesture of good faith before Hamas broke the ceasefire. I do know that Israel supplies Gaza with water. This flow of water has never been stopped.
i will imprison you in your house and lock the door and all the widows and i bring you the food and water everyday and sometimes i wont birng you food. if you get sick i wont bring you medicine. then i will kill couple of your family members. sure you would love this life, wouldnt you?
I have seen many documentaries on Gaza, showing the refugee camps. This is a tiny portion of the place, one of the few areas still in "normal" shape. What is this supposed to prove? The strangely impassive faces tell us that this is an eerie, chilling environmnet, tinged with fear and doom.
Strangely impassive faces? You get these faces all the time when you just videotape people as a tourist walking in the street in place x - somewhere in the world. Try it out and see for yourself.
0:08 Food seems to be quite plentiful in this supposedly "starving" enclave.

@O51887 Yes the name Palestine has been used, this however does not mean that there is or ever was a state called Palestine, there is no evidence to suggest that. The name "Palestine" was used to refer to a region, not a country, Palestine is merely a geographical term just like Scandinavia.

Daily Propaganda Video from IDF Soldiers in Gaza.
halcyon0830 6 months ago
@halcyon0830 this is about a month before the war genius. and 3 years after the IDF pulled its troops and defense posts outside of gaza into israeli land to settle a peace deal in 2005. Look up Gush Katif it was an israeli settlement worth billions that had to be destoryed and the 8,000+ people that lived their were forced out by the army, in Israels unilateral disengagement plan, in gaza and the west bank for peace. A peace which never came.

Thanks for sending this to my mailbox but hey, no matter if you can show me chic stores or something like this, the fact is Isreal must stop act against UN Resolutions and talk about "peace" by killing civilians or destroy hospital in the same time. Period. As an atheist my only wish is to see people live in peace. But liars are the ones who make war in the name of peace.

virtually every humanitarian aid agency in the region, including red cross, amnesty international, and human rights watch, has declared the situation in palestine a "humanitarian crisis". when 80% rely on foreign aid, around 50% are unemployed, there is "chronic malnutrition", hospitals get up to 12-hour power cuts daily, water and sewage infrastructure have fully collapsed in some areas, etc. etc.
keep in mind the video is before Cast Lead took place.

@zapproowsdower
all of thse organizations are not really "in the region". Amnesty international, as well as human right watch and red cross reaports are fully based on PCHR, a PALESTINIAN human rights watch organization, not on independent reaserch. Gaza strip has no humanitarian crisis, the Hamas have a lot of money, the problem is that it uses it to buy rockets and dig tunels rather than caring for it's civilians as well as in the west bank- Arafat was one of the richest people on earth.

@zapproowsdower
Gaza is not heaven, but there is surely not a humanitarian crsis in there, there is high poverty, and this is because, and only because Hamas, while Israel, how absurdic it could sound, does the best that Gaza civilians will not starve, as giving them aid in food and water. they use the fact our soldiers gives food to the people of Gaza to attack Israeli civilians.

This video is from an Israeli Tourist company (Road90) which tries to make Israel seem a lot better than it actually is to induce tourists to visit.
Keep in mind two things, they selectively show footage from the best parts of Gaza and make a big deal out of the fact that Gaza is on the ocean (no shit).
Secondly, this video was shown before Israeli Operation Cast Lead in which virtually all of the Gazan infrastructure was destroyed or damaged.

@oldmcbran yea, tell that to all the Palestinians still living in tents because Israel still won't allow reconstruction material into the Gaza strip.
I know being a Zionist is tough these days oldmcbran, I mean supporting ethnic cleansing, apartheid, a brutal military occupation, and a medieval siege (as described by the UN) must be tough on the conscious.
But seriously, don't mock the Gazan people, they're suffering intensely and don't need your bullshit.

@Entaruadunexecutor Palestinians living in tents? they have bigger homes than I have inside of Israel. but it's so easy for people that are not AWARE OF ANYTHING IN THE MIDDLE EAST, or kids that never stepped outside their own country to judge other places and people. if you want proof go to gaza, I have not more to say about that- GO TO GAZA, the enterance is free..by land. been there, done that.

@Entaruadunexecutor Now about them suffering, yes they are suffering BUT not by the hands of israel, but by the hands of hamas that siezed the area after a short civil war with the fatah. Everyone can tell you that, and you can ask arabs inside Israel and in the west bank and they will tell you that. Hamas takes all the money Israel gives, and all the supplies, and use it for weaponry and tunnels.
As an Israeli I wish hamas will perish, not the palestinians.

@Entaruadunexecutor They are great farmers, and most of them are great people But when someone cries out "itbah el yahud" and fire rockets near my home, am I going to sit still or do something about it? the siege is legal, and it's our right. hamas is a terrorist movement and the people of gaza suffer daily by their hands, while some of the palestinians Hail the hamas and call them Shaahids- martyrs of allah--here lies the problem.

@oldmcbran and when Israel drops 2000lb bombs on Palestinian homes in Gaza, enforces a brutal blockade on 1.5 million people, and continues to fire thousands of artillery shells, tank shells, kidnaps thousands of Palestinians from their homes in the dead of night, and kills thousands of Palestinians in their homes, do you think they're going to stand around and do nothing about it?
Did you not expect the Palestinians to fight back after you stole their land?
Entaruadunexecutor 1 year ago
@Entaruadunexecutor Is that the new arab pride? lying and then believing all the nonsense you imagine in your sick head? Hamas is the only common enemy palestinians and israel share, because we ourselves are not enemies. Hamas took over gaza, and keeps firing at israel, not the palestinians- but HAMAS. hamas keeps taxing the citizens of gaza and stealing valuable supplies.
oldmcbran 1 year ago
@oldmcbran first of all I'm not an Arab.
But then again I wouldn't expect someone like you who just repeated old Israeli lies that are not even accepted by Israeli historians anymore like the "Palestinians left their homes because the Arabs told them to" when the Israelis were ethnically cleansing them from their homes to create your ethnic supremacist state.
Also how are Palestinian citizens of Israel living good when there are 20 laws that discriminate against them?
Entaruadunexecutor 1 year ago
@oldmcbran also to debunk the rest of your lies.
Hamas is the democratically elected government of Palestine. They removed the call for the destruction of Israel when they became a political party, accept the 2 state solution, and renounced suicide bombing all in 2005.
Furthermore, even if they did want to "kill all the jews!" as you claim they do, how would they do it? With home made bottle rockets that use sugar as a fuel source?
Again, when you steal someones land, they will fight back.
Entaruadunexecutor 1 year ago
@Entaruadunexecutor he who comes to kill you- kill him first. they started jihad on us because of jealousy and hate, not because we stole "their" land. this is a jewish land and nation and they should accept it, and hamas was no elected legally it seized the chair by force after a short civil war with fatah, but you probably going to deny that as well. and the fact that the hamas rules of cunduct mention killing the jews, even today.
oldmcbran 1 year ago
@oldmcbran keep lieng to yourself buddy.
No one started Jihad on you. The Palestinians fought you, and many continue to fight you because you ethnically cleansed 90% of them from their homes, massacred their people in mass, and force the remainder to live under a brutal military occupation, apartheid, and siege.
They will continue to resist you until you begin to see them as human beings and grant them their human rights.
Its really that simple buddy.

We did not particularly mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians.
When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out.

Jordan occupies 75% of what would be considered British Palestine, yet no one considers them an occupying nation.
There was never an Arab country called Palestine. As the eminent Arab-American historian Philip Hitti described the common Arab view to an Anglo-American commission of inquiry in 1946, "There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not.

@AdultAlchemist All arab countries were not existent until recent years in the past century. Before they were occupied, they were just considered part of the ottoman empire. However, that does not deny the fact that people actually lived there, and it doesn't deny the fact that Palestine was some sort of sacred land that had it's own significance. I think it's Pathetic that people justify the killing of Palestinians and the oppression just because they believe Palestine never existed. Fair?
dxbblackwolf 9 months ago
@dxbblackwolf Nobody in there right mind can possibly say that killing can be justified because Palestine never existed. However, the so called occupation in Israel today is nothing compared to the ILLEGAL occupation the Jordanians commit everyday. All of the British mandate of Palestine (which included present-day Jordan) was supposed to be for the Jews. they were swindled out of 75% then the west bank and Gaza....a call for justice must take that into account to.
bryanfla93 9 months ago
@bryanfla93 Well, yeah. It's well known here that 90% of Jordanians are actually Palestinians. Is it really considered an occupation when they were just running away from getting killed initially? Just because the Jews were legally given the right to occupy a long time ago, doesn't make what they're doing to the Palestinians until this day any less of a crime. Legal or not, who's doing the harm is very obvious to me.

Jordan hasn't set up hundreds of illegal militarized religious settlements outside of it's territorial boundaries. It hasn't taken over it''s neighbors capital like Israel has in East Jerusalem to mention just two of the reasons the world is so critical of Israel.

1-Hamas cannot lose this conflict. Militant movements feed off martyrs, and Israel is delivering the maimed and the dead by the truckload. Hamas fighters, armed with little more than light weapons, a few rockets and small mortars, are battling one of the most sophisticated military machines on the planet.

2-And the determined resistance by these doomed fighters exposes, throughout the Arab world, the gutlessness of dictators like Egypts Hosni Mubarak, who refuses to open Egypts common border with Gaza despite the slaughter. Israel, when it bombed Lebanon two years ago, sought to destroy Hezbollah. By the time it withdrew it had swelled Hezbollahs power base and handed it heroic status throughout the Arab world. Israel is now doing the same for Hamas.

AND what the Arab governments are doing is absolutely NOTHING.
They sleep long hours, eat good food, take nice warm baths, and fooling around, while their brothers in GAZA getting killed days and nights. Every hour an average of 2 to 3 Gazans died, and 20 to 30 Gazans get injured, with 35% of the injured being in critical condition.

This attack on Gaza is an Israeli push to crush or expel the Palestinians. The images of dead Palestinian children, lined up as if asleep on the floors of the hospitals in Gaza, are a metaphor for tomorrow. Israel speaks to the Palestinians in the language of death, and The Language Of Death Is All The Palestinians Will Be Able To Speak Back With. A small group of brave Gazans are fighting for 325 million Arabs; that never happened in any nation of that size.

The incursion into Gaza is not about destroying Hamas. It is not about stopping rocket fire into Israel. It is not about achieving peace. The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, to use the lethal weapons of the modern battlefield on a largely defenseless civilian population, is the final phase of the decades-long campaign to ethnically cleanse Palestinians. The ethnic cleansing of some 800,000 Palestinians by Jewish militias in 1948 was the start.

This is very important ... I want you all to witness the appalling humanitarian crisis that existed in Gaza due to Israels blockade before this war even began. Please watch watch?v=l4g1-HTJYEk

Wow, this video has really opened my eyes!!!!
These people can walk and drive and do stuff... that surely must mean they don't have a single worry in their merry little minds!
Now I will go on and forget all these other videos showing Palestinian women and children blown to bits by your ***FUCKING*** bombs!

Als de cameraman of vrouw langs de grensposten was geweest en langs de ziekenhuizen en de gevangenissen, dan was er een totaal ander beeld te zien. Het ziet er allemaal rustig en vredig uit in de straten, het lijkt net een straat in jordanie of in egypte. Het is een facade, want als je die mensen die je op straat ziet lopen zou interviewen, dan zouden ze allemaal zeggen: "er is hier geen vrijheid, we leven onder constante bedreigingen" Jammer dat er niet geprobeerd is die mensen te spreken.

Hamas dragged Israel into this conflict by making claims that Israels' blockade was causing an "appalling humanitarian crisis". This video clearly demonstrates how Hamas was lying to the world. They further claimed that Israel fired first in November of 2008. I can prove that's a filthy lie too.

Israel is killing them because Hamas would not stop firing rockets and killing or attempting to kill and terrorize Israelis. If you haven't got that into your head yet your skull must be extremely thick.
oggzster 3 years ago

They are not hungry as they claims plenty of food and happy people only very naughty Hamas fired 1730 rockets and 1528 mortars shells into Israel in 2008 alone. Remove Hamas and non of this war would have happened.

can you remind me when israel formed a country and gained independence??
wasnt that long ago.
were there arabs in the place before that??

Israel was recreated in 1948 (there was an israel way before, btw - a kingdom; so that's why i'm saying recreated). Before 1948 there were jews, arabs, druze and bedouins (the latter two referred to as arabs sometims as well), persians (bahai), circassians, brits (they were in control, ya know) and many more.
lamalo80 3 years ago
i know very well...
not only english but greeks, romans and the byzantine had conquered the land before the brits...
isreal never had a country on its own before 1948... 50 years of history isnt mush to claim all the land and resources as yours and killing people just because they are not of the same religion...
i am an atheist myself and i dont care whether israelis are jews and the arabs are muslims... all i care is that there is a conflict and i think is unfair... thats all...

Perhaps this video will be of help in answering your question. ----> watch?v=qdH0XxDEjG4
I am unaware of Israel getting taxes and water from Arab lands. If you could source this claim I would certainly look at it. I do know that Israel was witholding tax revenue from Gaza as part of the blockade, but this money has been returned as a gesture of good faith before Hamas broke the ceasefire. I do know that Israel supplies Gaza with water. This flow of water has never been stopped.

$2 is maybe enought in Gaza. In Russia you can live with less than $10/day. Prices of food are smaller than in west.

I have seen many documentaries on Gaza, showing the refugee camps. This is a tiny portion of the place, one of the few areas still in "normal" shape. What is this supposed to prove? The strangely impassive faces tell us that this is an eerie, chilling environmnet, tinged with fear and doom.

Strangely impassive faces? You get these faces all the time when you just videotape people as a tourist walking in the street in place x - somewhere in the world. Try it out and see for yourself.
