Al Jazeera - Ben Cnaan raving like a madman - 2 of 3

Al-Jazeera (Eng)
Inside Story during the Bush visit to the region in Jan 2008

Updates on the US President George Bush visit in Israel. In the third minute of the film clip is an interesting exchange of views from two Arabs against that of Itamar Ben Cnaan. The Israeli Jew emphasized that the 'Palestinians' invented their history. His case in point is that there was never a 'Palestinian Nation' that revolted against the Ottoman empire.

The Arab filmmaker even raised the issue that the bible period of the Israelites never existed, as no evidence has been found in archeological excavations. He is quoting Ze'ev Herzog in Ha'aretz Magazine nine years ago.

Ben Cnaan, Cultural Editor of Ha'ir Newspaper, confessed that he was a member of the Communist Party, hardline Marxist and Pro-Palestinian. But he now says he is a reborn Zionist. Also, he confides growing up with guilty feelings on Israel's so-called 'occupation' and 'war crimes' which he later discovered to be distorted historical viewpoints

@EmmaYaBasta You yiddish people think calling Arabian people Anti semites and mentioning the European holohoax is giving your Fictional comments traction but Zionist's comments show just how less Educated Zionists have become. Wow you on the anti-Nazi league however your are a big supporter of the Lukud party.

@SSOFFICERWOLFENSTEIN (Sigh) there are times when the internationalist left gets complacent and looks forward to a time when it could spend time fighting the Alex Jones and Michael Moore's of the world, but then you nutjobs always show up to piss on everyone's peace process. i've been an Anti-Nazi League member most of my life -- a few years longer than i have opposed Israeli's occupation and genocide in Palestine. Your fanaticism might be cute if it were just an anachronism & not so worrying.

How about the testimony of Arabian Jews who joined the Zionist terrorist and bombed 3000 year old temples and killed Jews for Zionisms to force Arab jews into zionist occupied territory?? This is why We dont put any time into debating zionists about peace for the zionist entity or a jewish state in the Arabian peninsula, Zionist brainwashed or do not want the truth.Zionist enjoy life today ! fear the day the Arab kings are Eliminated. Zionism Wil follow them.Yiddishstan should be in Europe !

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

I pity the children of zionists because their parents are extremly stupid ! You can lie about the past but the future will not change for the condemed !

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

Zionist shit faces Who u calling a Nazi? , Zionist can not tell lies in the 21st centery like zionist been passing around for 100 plus years. Read Herzl's book and tell us what is said by this yiddish terrorist.

Ben gerion and all them terrorist are the nazis worshipers, yiddish boy! Zeev jabotinisky started the famous Lukud terrorist party the Mad nut Ariel sharron headed for years with his reign of Terror. But Zionist history is all choreograped by hollywood ! Arabia is for Arabians !

You MUST factor in the role of colonialism (which is not, as some right-wing entertainers and racists like the SSWOLFENSTEINSS of the world might suggest, merely something communist academics dreamed up). Zionism was based on a faulty, colonialist world view that the rights of the indigenous inhabitants didn’t matter. The Arabs’ opposition to Zionism wasn’t based on anti-Semitism but rather on a totally reasonable fear of the dispossession of their people.

@SSWOLFENSTEINSS I think this quote has been proven to be one of the many Nazi propaganda fictions. Certainly all those ellipses aren't fooling anyone! This is why we don't invite Nazis to any serious discussion of the conflict.

[Question1981]

Ben Cnaan just called himself a Zionist, so how is calling someone a Zionist "Anti-Semitic"?

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

First lets start with the zionist crimes against jews!Theodor Herzl:It is essential that the sufferings of Jews. . . become worse. . . this will assist in realization of our plans. . .I have an excellent idea. . . I shall induce anti-semites to liquidate Jewish wealth. . . The anti-semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-semites shall be our best friends". (From his Diary, Part I, pp. 16)zionist = false jew!Be warned!
