What happens in the following video occurs daily and American tax dollars fund it without ever questioning the suffering and misery it causes. It is time the decision makers in the west took back control and stopped funding the Israeli government and military whilst this persecution of the Palestinians continues-
The video speaks for itself, imagine being a Palestinian and having to live with this. It is wrong, we all know it is wrong.
This is not anti semitic, this is simply pointing out what is happening is wrong and it has to stop. One way it can stop is if America starts questioning Israel on how the billions of dollars in military aid are spent each year.
America should say, stop the persecution of the Palestinian people are the military aid stops.

...could this possibly be any MORE obviously set up?
These activists just HAPPEN to be in a closed zone? They just HAPPEN to be with a bunch of shepherds? They just HAPPEN to know Israeli territorial law intimately, and just HAPPEN to have a bunch of cameras (note: not cellphones, but video cameras) with them?
Come on.
Have some discretion.

The reason those activists were there AND with cameras, was EXACTLY because these things occur, and occur often.
I for one think it's great that these individuals take the time and care to DOCUMENT what can be described as nothing other than apartheid like we knew it from SA.
It's despicable that people still insist on turning their back to the Israeli governments wrong doings against humanity under zionists ideals.

Right. So the Israelis are evil, the Palestineans are just... what, 'misunderstood'? 'Justified'? 'Righteous'???

The man is herding on his land and he is being thrown off it.

You want me to lie and make up stuff like you do? Because I have no problem saying I cannot know why for a fact.
But you heard the man yourself - under certain conditions like unavoidable clashes, the areas are to be closed by international law.
There are many clashes between Palestinians and Jewish Settlers, and this I can tell for a fact.
Besides, military closed zones does not mean they are or will be closed for eternity. It can even be closed for a month, a week, or a single day. For all we know, that area could be 'open' as we type these messages, but you wouldn't expect to hear that from the same people who made that video, would you?
Or wait, do you actually believe that the IDF does this on purpose and there's anything at all to gain by keeping a herding man away from his herding zone for the sole purpose of being a suppressive evil conquering force? Honestly, can you work your mind and actually ponder that thought for a second? What is there to gain?edit on 16-10-2012 by IsraeliGuy because: (no reason given)

Well this is the difference between me and many posters on here.
On this occasion, I will 100% admit I was wrong about the video- I thought it was a Palestinian trying to make his way through land that the IDF had closed off.
but the question still lingers as to why this area of land is closed off?
In the video, he states the land should be open unless there is a conflict occuring, but as we can see, there is no one around other than the IDF who confront the 'tresspasers'.
You cannot deny Palestinians have been displaced and suffered incredible hardships since Israel was created in 1948. The situation has caused problems for both sides and it is always the people who suffer- yet the Palestinians are clearly worse off.
