      Hi Gavman,

      Was there something factually incorrect about this documentary that you have issue with?

      Or is it antisemitism to report anything negative about Israel?

      • +10

        the documentary is great, the zio extremists / settlers do the exposing themselves to show who they really are. Louis doesn't even need to do anything except let them speak haha

  • +9

    I am not too suprised of the existence of extremist nationalist views within Israelis - after all they are a small minority compared to the extremist views in Palestine and generally in most arab countries. What's suprising and really quite alarming is that these views are well radicated in the current Israeli government, allowing settlers to steal land that is not theirs and further gaslighting a situation that is already a disaster.

    • -2

      Sure, but the Palestinians doing the same thing in Area C

      • +4

        Area C is also illegaly occupied territory, at least on paper.
        Look, Im not a Palestine sympathiser at all, but I believe in their right of having their own state with no occupation as long as they do not give power to Hamas or any organisation promoting destrying Israel (and to be fair, most palestinian themselves do not want a 2-state solution at all)

        • -3

          Wrong, on paper it is NOT. Go back and look at the Oslo Accords agreement signed by PLO/Israel. There has been no agreement since then - Area C was agreed to be under Israeli control. Yet you find Palestinians are continuing on building illegally in those areas to try and increase its sovereignty over more areas. DYOR.. and for the record i agree with you on your last point there

          • +5

            @Gavman: Uhm the Oslo accord had an agreement that Area C would remain temporarily under Israeli Control but with a plan of gradual transferring the territories back to the Palestinians, which never happened.

          • +5

            @Gavman: The Oslo Accords were never meant to be permanent. They anticipated a final agreement within five years (ending in 1999), which never materialised.

            Why do you think this still has relevance today?

          • +3

            @Gavman: Never were Jews given land in Palestine at any stage without context. The context read' Must not displace'. Once you displace or use violence you forfeit the agreement.

        • -1

          ok and what if they never want to not give power to hamas, or promote destroying israel. Israel should just wait around and do nothing until this population comes to the party?

          • @tottenman: Not at all. But bombing them and having more settlements will not facilitate this at all, obviously, to the contrary it will make this a lot harder to achieve.

            In my opinion the surrounding arab nations like Jordan and Egypt should actively promote a Palestinian government with no ties with Hamas and no intention whatsoever to destroy Israel and these states shoudl guarantee for the goverment to promote peace and prosperity, with total ban of any weapons (for at least a few years). Jordan and Egypt shoudl enforce this with their own army/police in the palestinan territories to prevent Hamas to make a comeback.
            If this happens Israel shoudl remove all settlements, withdraw from occupied territories and recognise the Palestinian state, and also, together with the international community, enact some sort of Marshall plan to promote the economic growth an proseprity of Palestine.

              • -1

                @tottenman: Jews have no claim anywhere apparently. Nobody has a problem with Jews, only Israel, but all the Jews should leave every country they're in.
                But let's not tell anyone that the word Jew comes from Judah which is the original name of Judea. That would just be another inconvenient truth for people's small minds to deal with.

    • im surprised that no one bats an eyelid when China, Turkey or Russia do the same thing but worse

      • +3

        Israel is a country that is aligned in values and has strong militaty, economic and cultural ties with the US and the western world in general. This is the reason I believe why most people are compelled to criticise Israel and how they are handling the war in Gaza, becasue our society sees them as one of us and for a lot of people what they are doing doesn't sit well with that. Aside from this, I acknowledge that for a big big chunk of anti-Israel movements the reason for their actions is just anti-semitism, pure and simple.

        • +9

          Israel is a country that is aligned in values

          Which values? the values that they make up to the public or the values they enacted upon with endless wars and regime change which is Might Makes Right? Don't forget "Leader of the free world" fully backs Israeli actions.

          • -1

            @Creamsoda: The values outlined in the constitution - democracy and equality. I agree often these values are left on the paper when covenient (not just Israel, any country)

            • +6

              @liongalahad: i like the perfect country you are talking about, but where is that?? because in Israel even Jews from African or Yemenies origions are second class and treated like ***, they even gave the ethiopian and yemenies jews who moved to israel shots not to reproduce because of Colour?!?!?! what rights of equality you are talking about? when a palestinian woman had a car crash, car burnt, lost her face and fingers, while her baby in the car, then by israeli police she was rushed to jail,, yes not a mistake, rushed to jail not hospital, and she was in prison for no trial for 7 years with no court, and she was released from prison during last trade with Hamas, and at the same time, settlers in westbank are expanding, not by area only, by KILLING CHILDREN (not in GAZA, in WESTBANK where no Hamas is their), and the IDF protects the settlers, and they left alone, no justice, no trials, no jails. and IDF shoots the dead children parents instead of settlers.

              • @StarGrapper: Some of the things you claim are correct but for example the thing about ethiopinas jews was investigated and stopped back in 2012.
                The woman you talk about, Israa Jaabis, is not really clear to this day if she was a an attempted suicide bomb attack or an accident - but she was sentenced to jail, not imprisoned without trial.
                Settlers crimes are known and IDF complacency is terrible yeah, I totally agree.

                Israel is very far form being a perfect country, we all know it - but I believe part of the reason is the context where it's placed - the middle east, where human rights are generally pretty low in the list of the gorvernments priorities. Honestly, you can't expect to have Switzeland when surrounded by Syria, Lebanon, Egypt etc and thorughout the years they all want you wiped from the map. In this context Israel does pretty well actually compared to the other countries around, with free elections, LGBT right etc. But then again there are plenty of examples showing how some of the minorities are not respected as they should and their rights are stepped on continuously…

                Anyway, my mention of their constitution being based on democracy was mainly to explain why Israel is considered a "western" county in this sense, it was not an assessment on the actual level of democracy and respcto fo human rights they have.

                • -1

                  @liongalahad: First point, is an absolute lie, it was already proved and confessed. cry somewhere else.

                  2nd point, for Israa Jaabis, even her lawyer didn't know what was she IMPRISONED FOR, she had no trials, and she had her baby with her, and wow, 7 years it is still not clear? Israel saw the nuclear facility of fordo in Iran and can't have an answer if she attempted a bomb attack? please try another card.

                  3rd point first of all, arab world which is middle east existed thousands of years ago, and israel is 77 years old, this means its an implanted parasite in the middle east, and regarding the arab world, switzerland and the rest of the western world were learning from the middle east until israel was implanted and then started to destroy it with their agents and money. the exact same reason the painter changed his job.

                  as for LGBT rights in 3rd point, nearly 90% or more from LGBT around the world standing with palestine and being mocked badly and attacked very bad, but when it comes to human rights you start talking about how good you are with them?? please dont make me laugh, this card is burnt, please try another one.

                  4th point, Democracy in Israel is only for the jews, Arabs can never elect, get a proper job, and even talk. i personally know people were jailed because they sent a message on whatsapp to a friend on 7th and 8th of october simple because they asked what happened, or another woman had filmed a kids program dancing for her channel which is teaching dancing classes for kids, and heaps heaps more, countless cases, and so many of them are IMPRISONED until this moment!! democracy my a55. so please stop your propaganda.

                  Israel is a PARASITE, TERRORIST, IMPLANTED STATE CREATED BY THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE ARE BUILT ON HATRED, TERRORISM, THEY CALLING FOR ERADICATING ARABS, CHANTING DEATH TO ALL ARABS AND CHRISTIANS, AND BACKED UP BY THEIR OWNED MEDIA, AND THEIR OWNED LEADERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES, JUST LIKE UNITED STATES OF ISRAEL.

                  so go cry somewhere else baby,, and do your best crying

                  • @StarGrapper: I honestly stopped reading at the end of the first line as you had already spat your dummy - and with a quick glance at the rest of your message looks like you replied to my message with a truckload of vomit. I have no interest in discussing further with someone who talks more like a football hooligan than a reasonable person. You just don't realise whatever is your cause, behaving like a screaming child will be wholly detrimental to it. It's also for this attitude of yours, people like Trump and Nethanyau are elected again and again. Im just hoping you are no older than 15. Have a good life

                    • @liongalahad: nice new shiny card :D :D :D

                      if it is too hard to read, dont write in public, if you can't handle truth, dont lie in the first place, if you can't defend zionism, be an ostrich and dig your face in pig sh!t. if you can't read this, lets keep it for record.

        China has not done anything but be attacked. Vietnam war I think was the last time China was at war. On the good side defending against invaders.
        Russia has killed far less civilians than Israel despite being engaged in an almost all out war for survival. Israel is pretending to fight a tiny militia number no more than 25,000 at any time. How is there 350,000 civilians deaths if not done on purpose?

    All the buzz about Israel & Palestine but not much about Myanmar, Sudan, Xinjiang etc. There's some hectic conflicts going on causing immense misery & displacement of people but zero reportage in the MSM. I love LT content but I think it's pretty obvious what's going on in Gaza at present & why Israel believes it has a mandate to level it (however wrong & awful that is). I wonder is this documentary even necessary or just feeding the desires of a market segment jonesing hard for another reason to hate Israelis / jews.

    • +7

      There's a clear difference, which is the reason this issue is highlighted more so.

      Stop the usual BS about hating Jews. It's hating Zionism.

      So let me get this straight, because Sudan, Myanmar, etc, get less attention, it means this issue should be ignored?? This is the weakest argument. "oh but why not mention this issue and this other issue" Same old crap.

      One of the biggest differences, is that the states commiting atrocities in these other countries are not playing the victim card while dropping 2000 pound bombs on civilian buildings.

      Let me guess:

      "bUt KhAmAs UseS hUmAn ShIeLdS"

      • What is it about Zionism that you actually dislike? Bet you can't actually give a reasonable argument without looking it up.

        You've heard people saying "The zios" (a slur invented by the neo-nazis by the way) did this/did that. But have you actually stopped and researched what Zionism is about? Did you know there are many many forms of zionism ranging from the extreme in this documentary, to those who actually advocate to one-state with no policies based on religion . There are many many Israelis who identify as Zionist who actively protest every day against the war in Gaza.

        It's bigotry and racism. And people like you who repeat it "because it's cool" should be singled out.

        • +9

          Oh let me see, that it's a radical movement that the Orthodox Jews themselves hate?

          I could identity as a cow, doesn't mean I am one. Zionism at its root is fascist colonist settlement movement that advocates for the cleansing of Arabs.

          Nice try with calling out bigotry and racism. Calling out a genocidal movement is not racism.

          It's the idea that is the issue. I have no hate against anyone claiming to be Zionist and that is against the war in Gaza.

          I'm not saying all Zionist are evil, I'm saying the foundation of it, is evil.

          • +3

            @Dreamcast: You couldn't actually identify what it is about Zionism you hate. "Zionism at its root is fascist colonist settlement movement", taken word for word from Anti-Zionist propaganda.

            What element of Zionism calls for the cleansing of Arabs? Anyone who actually knows anything about Zionism would tell you that's not the case.

            Your argument is the equivalent of me identifying Islamic acts of terrorism, and concluding that "All Muslims are terrorists". Really lowest common denominator stuff.

            There is a strong link between ignorance and bigotry. I appreciate it greatly that you've helped prove that link

            • +3

              @Strange1: let me help you out, you are correct, it does not call for cleansing of arabs, it is calling for the great empire of Israel, from Nile river in egypt, to Furat river in Iraq, going south all the way to the arab gulf, and cleansing earth from all non jewish people (thats the zionists goal, not all the jews), and once they are done, god is coming to earth living with them alone on earth so it will be pure god and jewish on earth. and to add to your knowledge, no one can convert to Judism and be an pure jewish, instead, he is considered a second class jewish and will live with them BUT ONLY AS A SERVANT.

              and regarding terrorism, can you please identify terrorism? because its always islamic terrorists of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Qaida, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Lebanon, and what do they do? Nothing, they are all names for the media as a red flag for USA and ISRAEL to attack these countries, let me remind you of some cases? 9/11 and Afghanistan and Al Qaida, then Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, and lastly, Iran (preventative self defense initiated attack, which is another name of initial attack for no reason, causing red flag). so can you please define terrorism? because the only terrorists we can see are israel and all their helpers, as example in here in australia, the entire world consider UK to be terrorists to this land once they colonized it, isnt it?

              so the link you are talking about, applies only to you, however, a very nice topic opened by an ignorant using google which is operated by israeli 8200 promoting their holywood story.

              Israel right now lost all its support from the people, and slowly losing its support from governments starting by Europe. so, good luck with the remaining of Israel, keep in mind, Israel are BURNING FROM INSIDE BY THEM SELVES,

              oh before i go, why Cyrpus are worried? i think because Israeli's are moving to Cyprus and they are worried of an alternative Israel in Cyprus?! correct me if i am wrong. nearly 200k moved to cyprus in 12 days?!? who owns the land again?!?

                @StarGrapper: This is totally off topic and you've hijacked my comment but I'd hazard a guess that attacking a music festival & indiscriminately murdering unarmed civilians constitutes a terrorist act, in the same way detonating a suicide bomb outside of an Aria Grande concert is.

                But your disparaging and ignorant comments about the Jewish religion are appreciated. I don't disagree with many of the pro-Palestinian and anti-settler comments in this post, but it's clear that many are against Israel simply because Jews are involved.

The difference is, when a Muslim commits such atrocities it's not based on Islam. You can't find any evidence to show Islam OK's the killing of innocent, which some ignorant may make you believe.

              Just like any other religion that doesn't condone such actions, but its believers commit such actions.

              The root of Zionism is that they are human and everyone else is sub human.

              Come on mate. The world is turning against it. When the majority are against something, you know it's evil

              Give up.

                @Dreamcast: Zionism and Islam are not exactly the same kettle of fish, but there are strong similarities that the actions of a proportion that are extremely racist and ignorant, tarnish the rest. You can quibble about what proportion, but i've got very little time for the type in the documentary (and some in the Israeli government), nor do I have time for the extremist Islamic types who have put some horrible things in this deal.

                Terrorism acts by Islamic extremists are clearly done in the name of Islam, but nor am I going to blame an entire religion (as one of your mates does above for Jews) for the actions of some twisted few who have swallowed. But that's not Islam's fault. I don't pretend to be an expert on the Koran, but I believe there are some troubling bits of text in there that are blatantly bigoted (I also think the same goes for parts of Jewish and Christian religious texts).

                I also have trouble with your notion that "because the majority think it so, then it is so". It's unfortunately that kind of group-think and discouragement of independent thought, which makes mass propaganda so successful.

                  @Strange1: Completely disagree with anything said. No point discussing further. Other than saying that when Zionism falls, don't be surprised.

                  It's not if but when.

                  • @Dreamcast: People like you with an agenda, have been saying Israel will be destroyed for decade on decade on decade.

                    And guess what…..it's still here

                    And never in all of history has it been so warmly received by it's neighbours. Even today, i just read that normalization with Syria is a strong possibility soon.

                    And let's be honest, your "no point discussing further" means that you couldn't fault my logic. Appreciate your concession.

                    • @Strange1: I'll bookmark this and come back to tell you 'I told you so'.

                      • @Dreamcast: Haha ok. If it happens, please do get in contact. I'll welcome the discussion.

            @Dreamcast: A. It's not a radical movement.
            B. The orthodox Jews as a whole do not hate it.
            C. It's not a genocidal movement.

          • @Dreamcast: Hey @Dreamcast - missed this earlier, but your quote: "it's a radical movement that the Orthodox Jews themselves hate" - has to be addressed.

            Who do you think Netenyahu's biggest supporters are in the government? The Shas and UTJ parties, who happen to be the two biggest political parties representing Orthodox Jews in Israel. Look up their history of propping him and Likud up for many years. They aren't ultra-right wing and racist like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, but they hold sway over Netenyahu and could have pegged him back, but haven't.

            Outside of Israel, have a look at all the mainstream Jewish community groups in US and here. Almost all are aligned with the Zionist cause. Even the minority and very unusual ultra-religious Adass community (the one who had their synagogue burnt down several months ago) are not anti-zionist. To be fair, they aren't exactly ultra-pro Israel, they don't care much outside of their own religious studies. But the lie was peddled that it was the "Zionists" that did it. Community leaders had to come out (while in mourning of their synagogue) to refute that lie.
            There are several Jewish groups that are Anti-Zionist - in Australia, the Jewish Council of Australia might be the group that is most recongizable there. But they are a minority, and to my knowledge, are certainly not more religious in nature than any other mainstream Jewish group.

            It's worth noting that I've seen several social media clips of religious Jews actively demonstrating against Israel and Zionism in general. This is the Neturei Karta sect, who make up a tiny tiny fraction of religous Jews. There's like 5000 of them out of many million.

            I'm glad I was able to provide this explanation to you and others that often use this misconception as an argument against Zionism. I'll note that the prominent speakers i've seen against Israel/Zionism such as Mehdi Hasan would never make this claim you have. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this was a misconception (as i've seen others make the same mistake on social media regularly). Otherwise, it's a hurtful comment to make, and should be withdrawn

      • LOL triggered much? Seemed like a fairly benign observation on the focused media coverage on one situation.

        Clearly there are crimes targeting people based on their Israeli or jewish heritage, it's not just the convenient mask of "anti-zionism", many have happened here in Australia. It seems you are trivialising ordinary people on the other side of the planet being victimised simply because of who they are / might be.

        No one said the Gaza situation should be ignored, unsure how you arrived at that conclusion.

        Not sure why it makes a difference if it's bombs (the Myanmar junta is using airstrikes against its own civilians too) or forced sterilisation, organ harvesting & indentured labour like in Xinjiang. It doesn't even seem to matter that it's also muslims who are the victims. There weren't protests or rappers chanting death to the Burmese Military when the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingyas happened, and absolute silence then & now on the fate of the Uighurs. The odd one out is the fact it's Israel who is the bad guy, which seems to incite such a vitriolic response. Just so we're clear, none of these conflicts are worse than each other, it's all absolutely atrocious.

        let me guess

        Seems that's about all you're doing. I've been unequivocal that I think it's terrible and shouldn't be happening. Civilians in every country (and that includes Israel) should not be targeted by terrorists or authoritarian governments.

        • Your comments on Xinjiang have zero proof. A CIA report is not proof. The Islamic extremists in Xinjiang were CIA trained ISIL returning soldiers from Syria who did multiple terrorist attacks in China at the behest of the CIA. China was forced to crack down on the whole province. The crackdown included re education opposed to extermination in Gaza.

          • +1

            @AdamSmash: That's a really interesting assertion to make…a handful of extremists conduct terrorist attacks and then the entire population is subject to a crack down. Sounds awfully similar to the Gaza situation. The fact you casually downplay "re-education" (what a sinister concept) and try to leverage it to say "hey, it wasn't so bad, at least they didn't bomb them!" provides chilling insight. What else did the crack down include?

            Not sure about the CIA report you're referring to but feel free to peruse the extensive bibliography of the relevant Wiki article for a fairly comprehensive list of sources supporting claims of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. If the PRC have done it to practitioners of Falun Gong they sure as hell have done it to the Uyghurs.

            • @Captain Yobbo: lol, Wikipedia is a proven Mossad/ CIA partially run website. The Uyghars and Zingjang is the same event. Maybe read some more.
              Falun Gong is CIA run by USAID.
              Reeducation with food, medical & then released in full health. Without torture or killing.

              • @AdamSmash:

                Uyghars
                Zingjang
                maybe read some more

                Peak irony.

                Also, is CIA & Mossad in the room right now? Maybe not them but perhaps your PLA handlers.

    Antisemitism has persisted throughout history, and its presence remains visible today even on community forums such as OzBargain unfortunately.

      What part of the documentary is antisemitism?

      Or has antisemitism changed to mean any negative thing said about Israel, even if it's true?

      • Not referring to the documentry, just comments like throwing all the Jews out of Israel, and dumping them in other countries or most Jews are genocidal as they agree with Israel's stance on self defence

        If I was to say let's dump all the aboriginal people out of Australia I think most people would agree that's discriminating, offensive and racist.

        Instead of users thanking the OP finding this documentry which was difficult prior to ABC airing it, many users are ripping into Jews and Isralies.

        Poor Form as I don't see it happening for other religions or country.

          Hmmmmm, I couldn't see anything that was actually antisemitic in your comments so no sure what I anyone can report. You do however seem to have a pretty solid perspective on things that have and are happening.
