  • It bothers me that these riots are dubbed the 'Peekskill' riots when they occurred 2 miles outside of Peekskill. The riots occurred in the Town of Cortlandt. I'm sure some Peekskill residents were some of the narrow-minded racists who threw rocks, but it really should be redubbed 'The Cortlandt Riots'.

  • @dal4018 WTF does that have to do with The Peekskill Riots were a bunch of KKK style barbarians dressed up as veterans?

  • @utube9000 HALLELUJAH I WAS WATCHING 60 MINUTES TWO OR THREE WEEKS AGO AND SOME SO-CALLED JEWISH HISTORIANS WERE DIGGING UNDER THE HOMES OF PALESTINIANS CLAIMING THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND EVIDENCE OF JEWS LIVING IN EAST JERUSALEM 600 YRS BEFORE MUHAMMAD EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.THIS IS A ANOTHER FORM OF MASS MURDERING THESE PPL AND THEY ARE USING RELIGION AND HISTORY AS A CONDUIT.

  • @dal4018 Yes, well of COURSE we never heard about the Jewish-led Communist atrocities against the Russian people in high school! But we did see a lot of Holocaust movies and read the Diary of Anne Frank, didn't we? Funny how that happens.

    I have nothing against Jews. Pretty smart, creative people. I like most of the ones I've met. But it's time to end the double standard. If Jews want to be respected as a tribe, they have to learn to respect other tribes as well.

    Nuf said, peace.

  • @utube9000 YOUR RIGHT PPL IN THIS COUNTRY ARE TOO AFRAID TO DISCUSS THE PAST

  • @cubasi2010 AGAIN THANKS FOR THE INFO NEVER SAW THIS IN HIGH SCHOOL

  • @cubasi2010 THANKS

  • @utube9000 HEY AS YOU SAID HISTORY IS HISTORY AND WHEN IT COMES TO THEM ITS USUALLY TRUE.READ THE JEWISH NEWSPAPER HAARETZ

  • @cubasi2010 thanks CUBASI

  • SOLIDARITY FOREVER!!!!
