Not so simple...
you have the pro-israeli intellectuals backed by the israeli lobby and government to call jewish academics who speak of israeli's human rights
violations "Self-Hating-Jews". Now if such people/representatives in "authority"
positions embrace such public character assassinating trash talk... what do you think your citizenship is going to mouth? ...exactly what we saw in
this vid... ignorant self-absorbed righteous bull... parroted from the top.

Yeah, I agree: it's not so simple at all. You do have a point there about the character trashing methods. And I cannot argue that the negative
behaviour displayed by influential individuals will not inevitably rub off onto the mindset of the youth. (It undeniably has rubbed off to some of the
youths in this video.)
This whole "self-hating Jew" thing is stupid. It is a hoax imo. Do people born into Catholicism and who go on to condemn Catholics qualify as
self-hating Catholics. It is a ridiculous concept that was invented to demonise Jews who are critical of Israeli policy (I think you implied this
notion before in your post, which again, I agree with.)
It just seems biased to only show the negative comments and not one positive or appraisal don't you think? Without a doubt a lot of those youths are
very ignorant and do harbour anti-Arab sentiments. But, it seemed like there were a few American non-Jews saying those things too. (Also, many of them
seemed somewhat inebriated. Is it fair to ask somebody about racial/religious/cultural issues when they are under the influence of alcohol?)
Is it fair to characterise all young Jews in such a negative context, without showing a neutral or positive aspect to the story? If somebody can
influence you that the youth of a certain type of people are mostly ignorant morons, what stops them from generalising and demonising the entire
population? Not much.

What good name? Have you been drinking from the zionist kool-aid punch bowl?
