Crossing the Gilo Border into Jerusalem

[buraikyx]

We wish that peace and one state will become an option one day soon,.

[ACE7Drew]

awww poor babies, fuck off you bleeding heart cunts, they have to go through a check point because their people are shit. Maybe if the so called moderates did something, ANYTHING, to get rid of the radicals, they wouldn't have to go through checkpoints. I guess Israel should just not protect its people. Fucking assholes.

[rockynanach]

for the love of G-d no one is forcing them to work in jerusalem

[Hiijab]

How sad.

[baabaaer]

Reminds me of Indonesian workers raiding Malaysia for jobs and Malaysia raiding Indonesian workers to make them have proper papers to enter Malaysia.

[platinumpig]

This is almost as bad as the GWB tollgate into Manhattan.

[Treknologist]

I'm Joanne, and this is my new sweater...

[il3bood10]

FUCK ISREAL what they are doing to the palistinians is inhuman, thanks rocketboom for posting this up and showing us what this poor palistinians have to go threw to work and feed there families.

[MoolT]

Fuck you.

The Palestinians wouldn't have do go through this shit if they weren't attacking us.

Look at Egypt's border with Israel. It is not cramped and has much less issues than this one.

The only difference is that Egypt STOPPED attacking us whilst the retarded Hamas continues to attack us.

The moment they will declare peace and chill out we will no longer have to check each and every palestinian who corsses the border.

One mistake and you have a suicide bomber.

[mideastatheist]

@MoolT

then why your government don't want state of Palestine to exist so that Hamas would stop attacking you ??

if Israel would approve state of Palestine and Hamas continue to attack Israel then all arab countries will stop supporting them but unfortunately they have a good reason to fight for

[MoolT]

@mideastatheist

Ehud Barak (PM in 2000) and Ehud Olmert (PM is 2008) proposed to Araft & Abbas to establish a Palestinian state on the entire West Bank and Gaza, those are facts. Do you know why they said no so firmly? For the same reasons Abbas has announced that no Jews will be allowed in the Palestine that is forming right now. They are refusing to acknowledge our existence. They can't even be defined!

* space or territory which has internationally recognized boundaries

* sovereignty

non!

[mideastatheist]

@MoolT

" They are refusing to acknowledge our existence "

yes but you are also refusing to acknowledge their existence !

and what about the settlement in the west bank ?

now Palestinians seeking for UN Statehood Recognition but Israel + USA opposed that . whereas UN Recognizing Israel .

[MoolT]

@mideastatheist

"yes but you are also refusing to acknowledge their existence !"

Not correct,

We refuse to acknowledge their existence over our territory. Re-read what I had said. And regarding the 69 borders - are you aware that it was a not-inhibited land. Nobody lived there, we just took over it.

"now Palestinians seeking for UN Statehood Recognition but Israel + USA opposed that . whereas UN Recognizing Israel ."

UN recognized Israel because we had sovereignty over our own lands.

[slLLyhumans]

And what country do you live in ?

You obviously dont speak for muslim women in Iran , Saudi Arabia , Somalia , Afghanistan , etc .

[gur1337]

she's in new york. well i think...

[MadRecklessLevity]

Thanks to Rocketboom for showing me this daily pilgrimage of people commuting to work somewhere else in the world aside from the world I know and live in. It is very eye-opening to be able to see this first hand via video.

RocketBoom always gives us the best of everything from a wide spectrum of subjects. I appreciate that. Thanks!

[100flyingfish]

this is evenhanded

[NathanHal]

It's intended to invoke antipathy for Israel.

[Anvilcjl]

Regardless of your attitude on whether Israel has a right to exist (I'm not sure myself), it seems childish to do rocket attacks and suicide bombings, and generally be against Israel in every way, and then wonder why there's a wall. I wonder what the checkpoint to go into Jordan or Egypt to work is like? Does this exist? Why do they want to work in Israel, if Israel is so bad? Why not set up the factories in Palestine? I ask these questions because I genuinely do not know.

[NathanHal]

And you're asking questions that RocketBoom will invariably ignore by dint of their uber-liberal bias.

[Cubicleboy04]

I love these reports. You always do a great job of capturing a perspective that can't be found here in mainstream media. I always find myself more appreciative of the things I have, after I watch posts of yours like this. Thank you!

[EhudofGera3]

keep it coming.

[MojaveFly]

While I appreciated the video that Rocketboom posted about Iranian bloggers, I appreciate it more when Rocketboom stays away from politics. You guys do better with lighter fare about Internet memes and cool things on the web.  Videos like this really play to your weaknesses, not your strengths. Leave politically charged and divisive topics to real news agencies.

[bdreamliner]

iranian?!

[riptiki]

I agree.

[BlueSundew]

I love Rocketboom for all this different stuff they do!

Thanks Rocketboom!

[bobharris77]

I find it absolutely amazing that Israel allows ANY of these people to come into Jerusalem. I wonder how many more suicide bombers it will take, before they close ALL the gates.

[slLLyhumans]

Isreal should hire only women from Gaza , no men .

[foninamchara]

why?

[slLLyhumans]

Because in muslim countries the women are repressed .

[Docthewrench]

WOW that gas engine in that yellow taxi sounded pretty worn out or PUT some oil in it lol I know it sounds like a Diesal but I dont think it is sounds like a gas or propane engine

[WambaAlice]

Now prepare, because you are going to be accused of antisemithism. As if arabs were not semithic.

[747dog]

...They have to do this while their arab muslim Trillionair cousins do nothing but send them weapons...

[Deathend]

It's funny because nobody here is willing to actually do something, just complain about it.

Sharing information doesn't do anything, at all.

[FEMACAMPS911]

Actually you are DEAD wrong. Sharing information exposes people to the fact that the media is brainwashing them.

[Deathend]

Then they continue on with their daily lives. Information isn't action.

[Shadowak13]

I love this channel, and Joann, you make

MY ROCKET GO BOOM..

[falafel1995]

What is your rocket (if it is something sick please don't respond)?

[Shadowak13]

Well, one could assume I was either talking about my brain or my rocket in my pants. Which one do you think?...

[NathanHal]

Thank-you for showing us the concrete bunker that Israel must hide in to protect itself.

[Ve3tah417]

Are you some zio-nazi sitting in a chair while the IDF uses depleted uranium and white phosphorus on civilians as i type this? Did you get assigned to propaganda by way of deception this video's comment box for fear of this 8000+ yotubers video reaching way to many minds?

[Ve3tah417]

nathanhal the zio-nazi polluting this video's commenta

Thanks for showing reality.

[NathanHal]

More propaganda for the masses? The cautionary Orwellian tale becomes a reality in these comments.

[LuminousWorld]

These are the conditions in which they live, and then people blame them for retaliating.

[NathanHal]

Why would anyone assume the proposition that Israel holds the key to their economic well-being?

[myfavoriteperson]

I wonder if they are able to bring goods (such as food and other essentials) back across.  And once they are across into Jerusalem, what is the process for reentering West Bank?

[MisterKeitel]

Wow! Here is the US we know so little about the suffering of the Palastinian people. We are also unaware that we in the US unknowingly support all this suffering. Our mainstream news and entertainment media keep this info away from us. There must be a way to support both Israel and Palestine in a fair and just way. Right now we are not doing that.  Thanks RocketBoom for showing us this.

[gurkhaboy]

this was very interesting, I wish they had made the report longer or even a documentary

[ilikedurian]

I thought this was very interesting, I knew there was large numbers of people that commuted every day into Jerusalem and other parts of Israel but I'd never seen any real coverage. thank you so very much.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

I would like to see a lot more like this.

[NathanHal]

Perhaps Rocketboom will show you what what an obliterated Israeli bus looks like after it and its passengers are decimated by a bomb-laden, female terrorist.

[jcdobber]

Will probably look a lot like Gaza now

[ItsDanQuayle]

As opposed to a trained pilot in an Apache gunship?

[NathanHal]

The trained pilot in an Apache gunship is not looking to indiscriminately, intentionally kill and maime civilians.

[ItsDanQuayle]

So what, civilians are more human than soldiers? A human life is a human life, doesn't matter who they kill.

[NathanHal]

Israel, in the fight to protect its citizens, in only engaging and incapacitating enemy combatants, in deliberately minimizing collateral damage, is somehow morally culpable (and even more so), as opposed to terrorists who would wantonly kill non-belligerent men, women, and children, and who would use their own innocents as human shields? You have a particulary odious moral bankruptcy.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

I have seen that before; but the American media never show us this.

[didderson]

First to say first.

[hanivideos]

ok.....

[NathanHal]

RocketBoom, you are nothing more than a glorified propaganda outlet.

[MML2BeachedWhale]

i must detest to your previous statement. Every single country tells their citizens propaganda, its everywhere, and claiming that one tiny videoblogging site has the ability to spread brainwashing which is already being force fed to you beforehand is nothing short of ridiculous and idiotic. And it was a reporter showing what happens everyday for people to get to work. its no worse than traffic getting into new york at 5am. think before u speak

[NathanHal]

I would surmise from your reply that I'm not the one removed from the domain of sound thinking. Yours is a convoluted rant that irredeemibly and inchoately takes semantics beyond the realm of the surreal.

[NathanHal]

Let's make that "irredeemably."

[NathanHal]

This is odd. I make an innocuous correction to a word I misspelled, and I'm voted down? We live in a true Orwellian world.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

You are both pretentious and silly.

[NathanHal]

No, I'm an objector to nearly everything that RocketBoom interjects into the political conversation under the guise of objectivity. RocketBoom is a purveyor of specious propaganda. If I'm able to oppose it, I'll take "silly." RocketBoom refuses to examine both sides of the story objectively, period. I'll continue to forcefully critique RocketBoom until RocketBoom is willing to adopt a doctrine of intellectual honesty. (I'll take "pretentious" too.)

[NathanHal]

And of thinking before speaking, what is the value simply "showing what happens everyday for people to get to work"? I would think that RocketBoom could just point their cameras out their office windows to give us that 'view.'

[TickedOffBoomer]

What guide of objectivity? If you actually watched the show you would know RB has taken on the stupid notion of objectivity in the past and has firmly rejected the notion that they are seeking to be objective. And rightly so, I might add.

Does your bellyaching on this subject extend beyond YouTube bulletin boards, or is this your life?

[ultimatelights13]

I love u guys:)
