Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem

richardvisionontv | 17.07.2009 13:59 | Other Press | Palestine | World

This film, made by award-winning journalist Max Rosenthal, shows the reactions of a group of night revellers in Jerusalem to President Obama's Middle East initiatives. Many of the interviewees are American-Jewish visitors to the city. After 400,000 views on youtube, it was pulled as "inappropriate content", and Rosenthal would like to know why. He has received death threats and been accused of being a "self-hating Jew". His response, in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, was: "I am self-hating, but not because I'm Jewish."
We are following the producer's request to re-publish this film to many sites, including youtube, and let's see if this censorship happens again.  http://visionon.tv  http://maxblumenthal.com/feeling-the-hate-in-jerusalem http:phillipweiss.org

What's the Game?

17.07.2009 19:20

Thanks for putting the link up. I would say the 'israeli,zionist,jew' subject is one of the most difficult and blurry edged of topics to discuss. They said they were jews - taken. Israelis? I would say Americans. Zionists? Not politically aware enough '' Who's BenjaminYahoo??(from the political science major!) And of course no discussion is complete without the H word - which brings me onto the psycological guilt damage many young jewish people appear to carry regarding the holocaust.There's a saying ' a drunk man speaks the truth'. Is this their truth? I read today (jewish chronicle) that to call a jewish person, zionist or israeli a 'nazi' is to be criminalised - I ask what term do you use for people using remarks such as '' white power, nigger,watermelon etc '' in reference to black people, especially in the context of the victims of the holocaust?
With this in mind:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/07/434430.html
i struggle to clearly understand the israeli / zionist game, is it scrabble and monopoly whilst we play kerplunk and buckeroo? I would sincerely appreciate some feedback on this topic - thankyou.
