@2haveaniceday I wish you were right; the world would be a much simpler and safer place to live. Unfortunately you’re either ignorant, crazy, racist or just stupid. God save us from the likes of you, whether you’re an Israeli or a Palestinian or an American. Please educate yourself and try to understand that your hatred IN NO WAY elucidates your thoughts or the issue and just makes the whole world a little worse…
Even with the media (ie the American media) squarely on the side of Israel, public opinion vehemently rejects Israel’s actions and yet Israel is free to do as they please and has even been given the US green-light to attack Iran…
Does anyone have a rational explanation for this state of affairs? Please… not interested in the response of rabid antisemites… if you’re dumb enough to judge a whole people on the actions of a relatively few nazis, you’re not equipped to answer this question…
The question was: WHY DON’T THE PALESTINIANS HAVE A RIGHT TO EXIST?
Hasbarats, hasbarats everywhere.
wolf works for cnn hmmmm
I AM JESUS, I AM THE 666 IN REVELATION…
THE MARKS / NUMBERS FORMING UPON MY FACE WILL SOON BE TOTALLY UNDENIABLE
Wolf did not answer the question, “Why are the Palestinians the ones to pay for the needs of the zionists”.
The arabs are master of Pallywood propaganda just like the nazies
The typical fake images of Pallywood are well known !!!!go take some real images of what is going on in the whole arab world …like the murder and torture of 13 year old syrian kids !!!!
why debate finklestein , he is crazy . The arabs have pretended to be refugees for 60 years .enough is enough!!!…why were they not absorbed by their rich brothers .Israel absorbed the 1 million jewish refugees kicked out of arab countries ? why are the arabs more important?
i fucking hate the state of israel, they are jewish nazis, funny how history repeats itself
I have seen this debate before, but the video makes it soo much raw.. very powerful thank you.
The truth is that Jews (not Israel) bought about 7% of the land before 1948. Most of the rest was owned by Palestinians as documented by the British Mandate.
@eyeseethroughyou
Everything you said about me in fact applies? to you. Additionally, you resort to childish name-calling.
You’re ignorant of history and are hypocritical for taking the side of Hamas, a known terrorist regime, while criticizing Israel for launching defensive actions against said terrorists.
For shame.
You are such a weasel, I’d laugh if I didn’t find you so pathetic. YOU GAVE OPINIONS, just as your FIRST statement claims. DON’T EVEN TRY to wiggle your way out of that one. You either give FACTS or OPINIONS—not BOTH. You have presented ZERO facts and ZERO truths; you have provided NO evidence that the made up people called “jews” have “always lived there”; you have provided NO counter evidence regarding human rights violations by Israel—NOTHING. You are a fucking ZIONISTAUTOMATON. Mindless.
@eyeseethroughyou
I’ve given both opinions and facts. That is what I said. You misread what I wrote.
You haven’t provided any logical arguments. You don’t understand why Humas is wrong for targeting civilians and Israeli is right for defending itself by targeting the Humas terrorists.
“Opinions”? sorry, but you were framing your statements as “facts”. Again you display your utter CONTEMPT for honesty. But, you are a Zionist, so this is expected.
HAHAHA! this is funny. Here is how illogical you are. First, you say “You may disagree with my opinions”–key word OPINIONS–then you say “I have given facts”–OPINIONS ARE NOT FACTS, YOU IDIOT.
GO GET AN EDUCATION BEFORE DEBATING ME FURTHER.
@eyeseethroughyou
I have not spouted any lies. You may disagree with my opinions. But my opinions are not lies.
Additionally, I have given facts. Israel does not target civilians intentionally. Hamas targets civilians intentionally. This is the heart of the debate.
The Jews have every right to the land of Israel. Israel exists. It must be recognized. It is not going anywhere.
How dare YOU spout complete LIES and then claim them to be “truth”. And yes, I’ll say it again–YOU ARE AN ILLOGICAL PERSON. Your belief in the mystical “return to the homeland” nonsense espoused by pseudo historians and Jewish centric intellectuals is proof of this lack of logic on your behalf.
Israel can’t last forever in the state it is in. Eventually it will either have to accept a two state solution (laughable) or absorb the Palestinians and create ONE state (not likely) or WITHER away.
@eyeseethroughyou
How dare you attack my “logic”. You don’t know what you’re talking about. You support a non-cause. The Jews will always be in control of Israel. They aren’t going anywhere.
You are not an independent thinker. You aren’t very educated, either—your posts display someone who lacks basic logic comprehension, grammar and historical facts.
If it weren’t so “hard”, then how come none of you have been able to do so? hahahaha! you’re a joke.
Liar. I have not called “the jewish people” anything. You continue to lie and lie. LASrouchon has already kicked your measly ass all over the place, and apparently you still don’t know when to accept defeat. Ah, but persistence has always been the Zionist forte; PERSISTENTLY LIE OVER AND OVER AND OVER and MAYBE those lies will become truth.
