Op/Ed 1/14/09: Open Letter to the Citizens of Israel

More at http://www.theuptake.org.

The UpTake is opening up a call for Opinion/Editorial videos. To kick this off, we bring you all the first video by Dennis Trainor, who will be providing a regular voice to our media palette. We do not have a name for the show yet, and look forward to hearing ideas for the show's name from our audience. We also hope that more people feel inspired to send us "video op/eds" and will be providing guidance in the near future on how to submit your own opinions to our site.

Terrorist Jews. Who would have thunk it.

What a sick irony of history. From concentration camp victims to concentration camp tyrants in less than a century.

It doesn't help that every Israeli is bound by law to serve in the military. Dogmatic Nationalism.

It also doesn't help that the US has become a retarded apocalyptic theocracy.

PEACE TO ALL!

The ends cannot justify the means... the means must be justified in themselves.

[noonegaf]

calling you a heartless monster because you are applauding the death of Innocent civilians is not a fallacy it is an opinion! and one that i would second, i not sure where you learned to apply logic but i would suggest to take a refresher course!

@baronmorris

Jews still kill less than Muslims, what's their excuse? the Crusades? xD

@thecatfish111

What are they supposed to do, let Hamas fire at them because they;re not Egypt?

[ijitdunn]

Brilliant!

We need to get The Veracifier heard more than 5,000- views. I suggest putting him up on your myspace, facebook, links in twitter, emailing him to friends, etc. It's high time America started thinking outside their own cones of idiocy.

[thecatfish111]

How would my channel give any evidence? Should I just write that i was in the IDF? I was saying I have a much better insight to the conflict than someone who doesnt even live in Isreal.

[clhoyt1003]

Hey thecatfish111. I looked at your channel & saw no reason to believe you ever served in the Israeli military.

And even if you did (just for the sake of argument), that doesnt mean you are right about Israel's tactics. Tim McVeigh won medals & served honorably in the first Gulf War. Then he ended up turning against his country & having a hand in blowing up one of his nation's federal buildings. Just because he served in the US military doesnt mean his opinion of the US was right, either.

[clhoyt1003]

I know all I need to know to know which side to back. And any side with Hamas or Hezbollah on it or supporting it is one I will NEVER support.

[thecatfish111]

they also cant heavily bomb one of the most densly populated regions in the world. The Israeli government still thinks its 1967. They can not figure out that hamas is not Jordan or Egypt. Hamas will not sit down and sign a peace deal after years of fighting like Jordan and Egypt did. It is not right what Israel did and it will not make Israel any safer. I have served in the Israeli millitary so I know what im talking about.

[ctoma7]

No, no, no. . . .I think that's what he was talking about when he said the media in the U.S. fuels the lies from Israel about Hamas and their "thousands of rockets."

It's not your fault, you're saying exactly what the leaders & most of mainstream media want you to say.

You are basically repeating verbatim the talking points of all pro-Israel, anti-Palestine machines.

Just investigate a bit for yourself. Look at the frames used to present news of the mid-east in U.S. media.

[Kazzy0Z]

Wait...are you saying it was those 300 dead's FAULT that they died?

Wow.

Somehow that just doesn't make any sense to me.
