Yes, and this is why the likes of right wing republicans try to subvert foreign policy some openly, and others using underhanded means like this Canadian extremist Brad Kostynuik, AKA "Wharold", a kahanist likudnik from Calgary he runs this with his wife Brandi Dickman, " target="_blank">http://www.rockpaperinternet.com/brad.html Kostynuik creates anti Obama posters and art which he distributes to his bloggers, like other right wing extremists in the hope of turning public opinion. This is Brad Kostynuik’s professional life website in his official persona " target="_blank">http://www.rockpaperinternet.com/brad.html resume of “Wharold” AKA Brad Kostynuik " target="_blank">http://www.defrost.ca/defrosters.php?action=view&... This is his smear site, at Wordpress where he smears Obama, and Palestinians, and his xenophobia and racism " target="_blank">http://doosmdayclockradio.wordpress.com

"The pervasive nationalism, entitlement, and chauvinism of the Jewish community . . ." The overwhelming majority of whom support a two-state solution and vote Democratic. Grow up, Adam, and get the college idea out of your head that American Jews must apologize for being successful in American society by self-flagellating.

Burston prayed for the children of Gaza after high-fiving the death of Nizar Ghayan's children, because dead Palestinians don't dream of returning home.

So yes, I'd say the whole two-states-for-two-peoples but keep killing radical Islam schtick ought to show Dana, Max, Phil, Adam what not to do.

"And like them I was steeped in the pervasive nationalism, entitlement, and chauvinism of the Jewish community." Speak for yourself, Adam. Don't blame "the Jewish community". That's anti-semitic. Many Jews are not like that at all, and it's not their fault if you don't know them. If I thought that "pervasive nationalism, entitlement, and chauvinism" was what you got from Judaism, I would leave. Not all Jews are shitty people, Adam, and Judaism does not make you shitty. Zionism does, that's a given.

History does repeat itself, over and over again, apparently—worldwide. Native America has been decimated and now they, apparently, depend on money from wasichu casinos. I suppose 'empire' is not racist after all…or is it? Do you think this has no bearing on the subject? Think again. It's the same, exact, thing.

I applaud both your courage and optimism. The haters will make their hay with the video, but it's not as if their minds are either likely to be changed or play a role in breaking the current impasse. The potential progress towards a stable peace that the discomfort and reflection upon fear and prejudice it may force upon well-meaning people far outweighs its short-term negative impact. Thus far, moral timidity by all involved parties has yielded failure. If the political trajectory is not redirected, Israel will soon cease to be both a Jewish and a democratic state. It is for those interested in its preservation in that form that time is running out. before it's too late

Yes. This is precisely the issue: libidinal attachment to a warrior state. The racism is what attracts attention, but it's a secondary issue, it marks the specific enemy, Obama, for what he's done, which is deviate a hair from the position espoused by Zionist, fanatic jingoes.

The more frantic and extremist the responses, the more we see the "special relationship" simply dry up and fade away. "Feeling the Hate" exposes the dual loyalty problem in explicit detail. . . and those of us who don't have dual loyalty don't get why our tax dollars are being diverted to a corrupt war on people we have empathy for.

Hey, Adam, this is a stunningly great post, super-eloquent and an encapsulation of what this website is about: "The revulsion to the video may signal that our critical responses are returning to us, and not only is this mission not worth dehumanizing others to accomplish, it is not worth dehumanizing ourselves in order to carry it out." Isn't that the entire point here? To dehumanize others is to dehumanize yourself. If relegating Palestinians to a subhuman status is synonymous with the Zionist identity, how can tax-paying Americans (and especially American Jews) identify with the atrocities being inflicted in Gaza in the name of a "Jewish state"? We can't. There's a lot more happening behind the scenes in the Israeli-American backchannel dialogue, but the caterwauling of the Knesset suggests that they are unaccustomed to having an American president hold Israel up to obligations it has agreed to under the Road Map.

If you look into the origins of the Boer War in S Africa, one very significant thing you will find is a key player, the Jewish ownership of all the mineral and mines, gold, silver, diamonds, etc. Similar realities as the video shows were splashed across the pages of MSM (by mostly Jewish Americans) to enchance the Civil Rights movement in the USA in the mid-last century; goy whites eventually got the picture. Now, we've had Carter, M & W, Obama, etc; will the Jews get the mirror image?
