I have no idea what the majority of Israelis think about Palestine and Palestinians, but this video is probably just seeking out arseholes to ask their thoughts. Every group of people has arseholes.

I’m British and socialist, but I would think it would be very easy to find 20 minutes of footage with British people saying appalling xenophobic and racist things about just about anyone.

That all said, the people being interviewed in this video are scum.

Versus the interviews aired by the major networks about a mother of three declaring that all Israelis just wanna live in peace and it’s those no-good Palestinians stirring up trouble.

It’s good to get a mix of all the people involved. Especially when assholes like the one demonstrated have more direct impact than the suburban mom.

I don’t suppose you’ve thought about the possibility that the people he’s “interviewing” are saying exactly what they know will generate a response because it’s obvious he’s not an actual journalist and is just looking for gotcha moments for his social media feeds.

Then of course there’s the fact that he could easily have talked to hundreds of soldiers who didn’t say what he wanted, and he’s just cherry-picked the small number of soldiers that give him what he wants for his social media feeds.

But that would require people to think critically. Or at least just think.
