RadioSalamandra, you are a racist. I suggest anti-oppressive training, it should work.

well… israel is in the picture in many more different ways than say bashirs sudan for many many reasons… one of them being the interwovenness of ashkenasi and western eurpean historiography. Some jewish historian mused from a semitic viewpoint, that most israelis in israel are probably less jewish than the average palestinian muslim. now ponder that… lol… this world is a mess!

@RadioSalamandra Hamas won the election in a fair and free way as confirmed by the US and UN monitors but the israeli gov as well as US gov immediately revoked that democratic victory because the stupid palestinians voted the wrong way in a democratic election! i mean how stupid can these arabs be eh? israel pulled settlers out of gaza because they wanted to be able to bomb at will, for an israeli you are really quite ignorant of basic facts!

@RadioSalamandra air, sea and land borders are all controlled by israel, the gazans have as much rights as prisoners in a prison and as for Hamas, they are resisting occupation which is legal under international law, but occupation and stealing of land as well as collective punishment of a civilian population is against international law. if you want peace then give the palestinians a just settlement and you will have your peace otherwise all this will continue and the world will be against you

It gets attention because “the Jewish country is in the picture”. Please, not the tired anti’semitic argument. It gets attention because Israel is allowed to be above all international laws by certain Western governments. This means it’s left to ordinary people to speak out, who know far more than you might imagine. I’m sorry you feel that it’s about Jews. It isn’t, it’s about Zionism. An Israeli legislator said : you can’t be a Zionist state and a democratic one. You have to choose.

Talking to my arab neighbours, I am ready to go very far with my left wing ideals. Listening and reading all the crap that most western people write about the ‘Zionist occupation’ without a minimum level of knowledge, I feel like joining the Resistance guerrilla. Honestly, you must admit, the main reason 2.5 millions of Palestinians get so much attention among so many ethnic, national, and social catastophers in our world, is because the Jewish country is in the picture…

Human tragedies? Those visited on Palestinians? You missed the irony: YOU said “absurd” Yes, illegal settlers didn’t want to leave Gaza, but THEY were rehoused! Leaving Gaza enabled Sharon to get a tighter grip on the West Bank by increasing the stranglehold there. I’m not against Israel per se, only the policies of successive governments. I have Jewish friends there! You need to broaden your perspective and realise there are Israeli Jews who agree with Invincible and myself!

You are lying man! You should have some dignity before writing about human tragedies that you know nothing about it. Jews were moved from their houses in Gaza in order to give Gaza a chance to develop and become independent. We just got Hamas tiranny and rockets. If the whole world believes Israel’s retreat from Gaza was absurd, then maybe we shouldn’t plan to pull back from other areas as we will only get more criticism and more kassams.

population because of the cruel occupation they are suffering…. BUT there is no more “zionist evil occupation” anymore in Gaza, and as Israel pulled back, Hamas attacked. So what is their goal? As Milbes says here, “wat about the rest of the land” ? So THIS is the issue. There will not be peace for the palestinians till they realize that they will not destroy Israel as they wish. Indeed, from the Middle East, best Salaam and Shalom wishes for both sides, and for those worried westerns here…

Check the facts: all borders are NOT controlled by Israel. Why did Egypt, in the first place (before Israel!!!) closed the border with Gaza? About medical supplies, we should ask the Hamas about it. Why do they import weapons and bombs instead of investing in their own population? Israel DOES let medical help in and many times, is the only place where a palestinian can get medical services. Of course, you’ll say they need to waste their energy building rockets that terrorize the israeli
2-8-2010 at 13:12:40 from 0.0.0.0
ya they pulled out but they still dont let medical supplies in and barely enough food to survive…and wat about the rest of the land they occupy

@RadioSalamandra Gaza is a prison camp, the israeli’s control all the borders and have an illegal economic blockade that has been ongoing for so long Amnesty International and Desmond Tutu to name just a couple, condemn the inhumanity of it and as for rocket attacks, look at the facts, over the past 10 yrs the rockets from hamas killed 20 people but Israel has killed over 2000 during the same period. shalom to you too.

@RadioSalamandra come on..take your hasbara propaganda elsewhere. Keeping a boot on somebody’s neck whilst proclaiming “but I’m leaving them alone” is b.s. More and more ppl are waking up..you can’t stop the tide of truth…

The first person to comment on this video said that Israel withdrew five years ago. Absurd! It moved the settlers to the West Bank (illegally again) then continued with its stranglehold over land, sea and air. Boycott, Divest and Sanction! Brilliant song!

Absurd! You are against Israel and you demand the end of the occupation of Gaza… but Israel retreated from Gaza 5 years ago.. and since then Hamas has only launched attacks and more attacks….. Shame on you! Stop collaborating with the Islamic Regime. Free Palestinians from Fanatism!
Shalom!

Best political and human rights lyrics I have heard in a long time. The truth aint pretty. If they only played this on CNN, the people need to know they have been lied to. Turn off the propaganda TV and support BDS!
