[David Green]

Actually, they sound from their accents like drink sodden American youth, or at least ex-patriate or dual citizens.

>Yet, and as is expected people who are 98% supportive of Israeli government policies will be attacked for not being 100% supportive (remember the Pope’s visit?).  So in this Video we see young people in Jerusalem express their opinions (this is not just revealing about Obama but about racism in general)

>A Palestinian friend reacted to this footage thus: “Within the Palestinian Community, I can say that these attitudes translate into an evil apartheid system that has destroyed our communities and our livelihoods and that continues to perpetrate enormous violence on defenseless civilians.  80% of Israelis supported the recent bombing of Gaza, and that 80% support comes out of attitudes that are shown in this footage.  These attitudes also explain how and why Avigdor Lieberman has risen to power in Israel today.”
