This is totally off..but the one translating is so cute!

[CuriousAmerican]

No way the guy speaking is way cuter!!

look at him. listen to what he said carefully. now imagine that you were him. can you not feel your blood boiling? how they manage to remain composed is beyond my fathoming. they deserve our support. when religion becomes the basis for hijacking land and displacing people, maybe we should question religion, imho. we'll wipe each other out, it's almost certain.

[CuriousAmerican]

You get it exactly. I wish everyone would listen to his every word so carefully and put themselves in his position. That surprised me when I was there - how people could live through all of this and not be completely insane.  It's not like it's "just a rough spot" in their lives - it goes on and on and never ends, they have no relief.

I'm american. we see how israel treats the palestians. it's not right. there are many of us who want things fixed for ya'll. prayers

This video isn't about hating anyone. It's about empathizing with suffering & speaking out for human rights. The Palestinian people have been denied their rights & are suffering greatly. Inflammatory racist statements like the one you made changes the subject from Palestinian suffering to "anti-semetism. It also functions to associate hatred of Jews with support of Palestinian rights. So I ask myself "Who do your comments serve?" This gives me the answer to who you are. Please take it elsewhere.
