Shocking and sad.
To see people revelling in the death of innocents.
To dehumanise a people to the point that they are little more than rats and, so, easy to to feel apathy towards, at the very least, and hate.
Here in Ireland we have many variations.
Hatred towards Catholics and Protestants in our partitioned Northern Ireland, this is abating, in educated classes at least, amongst the young and disaffected it is as strong as ever.
Dissadent terrorists stoke the fires of hatred to meet their own ends.
Are Israel and it’s neighbours being manipulated by other forces?
It is surely not the natural way of the jewish people to harbour such hate, despite the crimes committed against them?
The Muslim world then, do they deserve this?
Governments can surely be evil, can certainly have ill intent but ordinary people are just people, they want to be led to a peaceful life, they, be it Iranian, Israeli, Syrian, American or even Irish want that thing.. “security”, that word that just means “safety”.
So, why can’t we all be secure, and stop seeing our neighbours as folk to be feared as “different” and perhaps we can stop youth from viewing the death of innocents as a good thing, as a righteous thing, perhaps these young men will feel shame for their words, I hope so.

Bad enough the kids’ racism. But look how many adult lies go unchallenged.
Pisgat Ze’ev is not a neighborhood, it’s an illegal settlement and the kids of Shu’afat who live across the valley and see Pisgat Ze’ev’s wealth and ease every day, were pushed out of their homes to make way for this settlement.

The footage juxtaposing the haters on each side suggest parity when, in fact, we have an occupier and an occupied.

I live in Israel, and I know the situation, but still, it breaks my heart to watch this video, for all of us: Palestinians and Jews.

The very fact that it is on TV, shows that it’s not representetive of the mainstream and majority of population.

One can only wonder why isn’t there a Palestinian equivalent, ever…

A state that is based on a race and religion and does not allow the people from that land who belong to another race and religion to live there in dignity but imports others from far away lands is simply doomed…

Unfortunately the racism is top-down.

I have to call “racist” those here who think Jews are magically immune from hating people of a race that has an overwhelming proportion of itself wanting every Jew stuffed into an oven and roasted. Under what rock do you bourgeois fools live? I surely don’t advocate the hatred displayed by the teens in this video but to be at all surprised by it smacks of idiocy, if not typical liberal naivete.

Rest In Peace you children of that bus accident…Eternal peace.

These are very important and serious topics. How unfortunate that they are being mixed up with vile Gefilte Fish hatred.
It is a delicious, traditional food that goes very well with with horseradish – red AND white varieties.
Yes, the fight against racism must continue. We can’t afford to divide on the basis of affinity for Gefilte Fish.

It’s really hard to watch, indeed. Even disgusting. Each time I get to know that the hatred is much more profound then I imagine..

Thanks for sharing.
