  • I cried when she cried....at the grievous damage that ignorance and blindness like hers causes. If *normal* average people had the nouce and compassion to think for themselves, in a rational & humane way, there wouldn't be a need for men like Finklestein. People shouldn't need to be told that ethnic cleansing and illegal land-appropriation is immoral. Why the endemic, willful stupidity/blindness?? Maybe turning the telly off for five minutes and using ones mind independently might help?

  • @itsquazart she's asking for people to buy in to her emotions like most people watching CNN would. Unfortunately for her, this man appears to operate with intellect before emotion.

  • someone got owned loooooooooooooooooooooool

  • Her tears reveal either ignorance or manipulation. Ignorance is FORGIVALBE if you change after coming into the truth; manipulation is wrong always. Many members is the audience were not interested in truth, only in shouting down people who disagree with them. Suffering is suffering. Murder is murder. Ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleaning. Finlestein's objectivity about Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians in the light of his personal tragedy, demonstrates courage and righteousness.

  • It's amazing how deeply we as Americans can be hypnotized to think one way, but then I'm not surprised, because all of the media is controlled my the Zionists & you will only see what they want you to see. All out of context. Think man, think & don't act like a cow

  • @vietorkorean My God, that's one of the most unnerving comments I've seen on Youtube X0

    "Nothing is really morally wrong or right in this case" "Reason and righteousness belong to the victor" What is this, a lesson in ultimate stupidity??! Forgive me for being rude, but fuck off with your morally, grammatically, intellectually invalid comment; go and learn to fucking think clearly, before "informing" other Youtubers on matters of right and wrong!!

    Btw, you'd make a great politician

    ><

  • @arcsouljah do u not get what i said? White people invaded the New World and made that "their" land. So the Jews in this case would be much like the Native Americans and the Palestinians like the White invaders. Only difference is the Native Americans don't got no military to retake their land. So like i said, nothing is really morally wrong or right in this case. Reason and righteousness belong to the strong/the victor, it has always been that way throughout history.

  • @vietorkorean With that logic, we should find ethnic groups that share the greatest genetic heritage with the Canaanite people and other groups from the Levant and give THEM the land back, seeing as the people that lived in the land before the Jews were all but wiped out for it thousands of years back. Or we should give it to the people that were around before the people of Canaan et cetera. That kind of thinking gets us nowhere.

  • @vietorkorean The "problem with Israel and Palestine..."? It would be more reasonable to say "the problem with the so-called state of israel..." >:/

    Anyway, you say "it is more complicated than that"; what is 'that', sorry?

    I was simply commenting on the fact that immorality is immoral! Nothing to do with who has the right to live on the strip of land in question. That point is hardly difficult to work out, if the brain is used ;D

  • @Sascopa the problem with Israel and Palestine is much more complicated than that. Thousands of years ago, that land belonged to the Jews. But once they got exiled by the Romans, the Arab Palestinians moved in. So Israel could use that to be their justification of reclaiming their homeland. Then again, the Palestinians have lived there for millenias since the Israelis left so of course they consider that their land and will fight for it. This pattern is ovserbvable everywhere,
