VIDEO: "Feeling the Hate": Young Israelis Share their shocking Racist Views

WorldPeaceTV
Resentment of Arabs, minorities and designated foreign enemies ranging from Iranians to Barack Obama is now mainstream in Israeli society.

On May 27, journalist Jesse Rosenfeld and I set out on the streets of Tel Aviv to probe the political opinions of young local residents. We started the day filming at Tel Aviv University, where a group of Jewish and Palestinian Israeli students gathered to protest a proposed law that would criminalize public observance of the Nakba, or the mass expulsion and killing of Palestinians by Zionist militias in 1948. There, we interviewed Palestinian Israeli students about the rising climate of repression, then spoke to another group of students who gathered nearby to heckle their Arab classmates and demand their deportation. A few hundred meters away, two genial business students expressed support for the so-called Nakba law, remarking to us, "If you want to keep democracy, you can't let people protest against the independence of the country."

That evening, Jesse and I took our camera to central Tel Aviv, where thousands were taking part in the annual all-night festival known as White Night. Some revelers took an intermission from the partying to express to us their hatred for the Iranian people. And a group of teenagers launched into a virtually unprompted diatribe against Barack Obama, referring to him as a Nazi, a Muslim, and a "Cushi," which is Hebrew slang for "nigger." When questioned about the source of his opinions, one teenager proudly declared himself a "gezan," or a racist.

    • if the isreali culture is the culture of hate why is it that thier has been literally not one single instance of an isreali suicide bomber?
      in all of muslum and christian and jewish history contemperary or ancient not one time do the jews have suicide bombers. of course they hate arabs, everyday they are told by thier arab nieghbors that they should be killed, if my nieghbors spent thier days thinking up new ways to kill my children id hate them too. but the desire for peace is greater and from that the isrealis use infinate restraint where the arabs resort to terrorism.

    • either way you put it, there is no excuse for this real hate. I'm concerned about the hate and remarks on the USA President who is trying his best to bring peace there. Seems like anyone trying to make peace there are met with criticism and accusations of being biased and antisemitic. That is clearly not the case about these/us peace makers-we sick and tired of the violence from anyone country and we know there is a solution, however, BIG bucks and BIG corporations dictate how to treat people and dictate how politics are carried out. What a pity for humans-what a pity humans do this to other humans

    • to be fair, they are obviously (in the second clip so presumably the first) interviewing a bunch of dumbasses.

      the guys around 3:30. jewish thugs? it's almost enough to make you laugh (their parents must be so proud).

      There are also isrealis who are regularly assaulted (in some cases i think killed) by IDF soldiers and settlers as they try and protect palestinians from assault.

      worth keeping in mind.
