AND WE WONDER WHY THE SOLDIERS WENT MAD?
WE WONDER IF THERE ARE DECENT JEWS IN ISRAEL.
MEET THE MAN ON THE STREET.
It’s about entitlement, stupid.
Max and I went on to the streets of Jerusalem at ten o’clock on a Wednesday to ascertain the feelings of the young population about Obama’s upcoming speech in Cairo. As is often the case, the streets of central Jerusalem were not filled with native Israelis but American Jews.
Doubtlessly anyone who has visited Jerusalem has encountered the droves of American Jewish kids that are sent to Israel to study for a period of time from Teaneck or Westchester.
We asked people a simple question, “What do you think of Obama and Israel?” Most of the people that we talked to were dual American Israeli citizens. The answers in this video reflect the education and worrisome perspectives that many American Jews harbor towards Israeli politics. The sense of entitlement that the American Jewish community has when it comes to Israeli policy is on full raw display in the words of these young adults.
Based on our interviews these people were from high socio economic backgrounds and had developed thoughts about current Israeli politics. The question is why more journalists are not covering this story. All you have to do is walk the streets of Jerusalem and you will find dozens of people that harbor the same beliefs.
As a resident of Jerusalem, I can say that the people represented in this video are not members of a fringe group or simply drunk college kids. These people reflect the sentiments shared by many people in this country and this city.
These people and their families are the core of the opposition to meaningful peace between Israel and her neighbors. This is what Obama is up against.

I lay in my bed all last night thinking about this video. Hatred like this does not sprout up over night in a vacuum. "You've got to be taught to hate like this , it has to be drumed into your dear little ear, you have to be carefully taught". These anerikan jews have parents and grandparents who think like this.(jack Ruby and Mickey Cohn must have been exactly like these kids when they were young so too, were Dutch Schultz and Bugsey Seigel no doubt)
How can haters like this go unnoticed here in Amerika? I know how. Elite Anglo-American and European nobility nurture these people and protect them from public scritiny. They grow them as if in a petrie dish to be used as foot soldiers for carrying outhidden agendas. Watch as the film makers move with ease amidst these haters. They are one in the same. israeli "peace' movement, my arse!!!
scritiny is a typo it should be scrutiny
