Israel and racism

[kina]

The videos are self explanatory. One of the comments underneath the videos:

"My Jewish father told me never to go to Israel,he told me that he went 30 years ago and it is the most vile racist country in the world and that from what he can make out nothing has changed.

BTW He has not seen these videos

You should check out Yom Yeru 2011(Jerusalem day) .10.000 Israelis chanting "death to Arabs""we gonna burn your village down" + much more and then they attack Arab owned businesses while being protected by the police and army

Of course there are racist people in Israel ...just like there are just down the block right here and everywhere else.

It's a little curious how with all those evil zionists being so bad and the all the country being so viciously cruel towards the africans that they continue to flood in - bypassing countless friendly and helpful arab countries along the way to get all the way up to that puny strip of land. How bizzare.

All I'm trying to say is that is you are not ready to be compassionate, understanding, and tolerant towards those in need then don't expect others to be compassionate, understanding, or tolerant to your issues either.

Rest of the world is actually quite simple when it comes to racism - they don't have it. Racism is purely North American invention, all other nations don't struggle with such stupidity. Especially nations that are involved in a war with another nation. Demanding tolerance from them is like demanding clean language in soldier barracks - ain't going to happen.

I don't understand this point of view. You are claiming that racism is not present anywhere other than North America? How do you figure? And why do you claim that those that are at war are even less susceptible to racism? Wouldn't you think that altercations are what drive them to it?

This isn't about the dispute between Palestinians and Israelis anymore. It's about the Israeli attempt to openly ethnically cleanse the country of all people who look a little browner than them. Only they are not going to use guns as the Germans did on them, they are going to use the law. What I also cannot understand is how in the world the Israelis could even think of doing something like this after they themselves experienced the same on their own skins during WWII.

:137: Seriously ??? From every global news story I've seen on the subject (especially those concerning purposeful genocide) and every documentary I've seen on the subject I find that very hard to believe. Can you qualify that claim in some way ?

[Captain Awesome]

Can you qualify that claim in some way ?

I guess I didn't project my idea this clearly - say here racism is something very negative. There it's just the way people live and think.

[steven lloyd]

There it's just the way people live and think.

It's accepted as just the way it is, it is excused and used as an excuse for atrocities that we over here can barely imagine. We are offended by name-calling. There they masacre, rape and toture and burn.

Ya - racism is different over there and sometimes even goes by the term genocide

(I'm thinking more of places like the Sudan than I am Israel).

Maybe you should check out some of the footage from WWII where large groups of Canadians gathered and sang songs about defeating their enemies at war. Did that make Canadians racist?

yeah - because in all of those African dictatorships AK-47's just grow on trees.

Should we try and stop all the countries that are supplying the Palestinians with weapons and arms as well ?
What about the rest of the region ? Or is it only Israel that you want see weaponless ?

is north america supplying the weapons to the countries you just named ? no . the only reason we do is to try and maintain a connection to god, because it sure is not about peace , or getting along.

So - to repeat the questions you seem to have missed (or don't want to venture to answer): Should we try and stop all the countries that are supplying the Palestinians with weapons and arms as well ? What about the rest of the region ? Or is it only Israel that you want see weaponless ?

and try leaving God out of it :127:
