   This video isn’t bad if you use it to encourage dialog about this the worlds most shameful one going human rights crisis. We need all the discussion we can over Israel/Palestine. One thing that the vid did well was using mundane every day actions to invoke the true notion that as long as this conflict is perpetuated (by wacko religious fundamentalists racists from all 3 wester religions and from countries around the globe) no one is safe. What should be pointed out is that if you lived in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories these mundane every day activities would be imposable due to illegal blockades that have left the territories with no electricity, running water, fuel, or phone system. Even if there was electricity or water odds are that you would have had your home (and all your possessions and perhaps several of your family members)bulldozed to make way for a check point, apartheid wall, illegal settlement, racially segregated highway, or just because the IDF felt like it. An other effective vid along these lines would be one which showed the detestation of a young family killed by a rocket attack on an Israeli market. The video could capture the horror, the suffering, the madness, the lives shattered. Then it would cut to an analogous scene in illegally occupied Palestine . The scene would play out faster to be followed by an other even fast and an other and an other. This would highlight the fact that the terrorist death ratio is over 300 Palestinians to every 1 Israeli. Terrorist rocket attacks from the illegally occupied Palestinian territories have killed 13 Israelis in the last 7 years ( more Israelis die by choking on food or falling down stairs and car accidents claim sever hundred times more victims)where as there have been 13 children killed by IDF state terrorism in the last 48 hours. I like this vid if it was made by one of the majority of Israelis (65% according to the latest pole) who want the settlers out and PEACE NOW. If on the other hand it is a bit of propaganda from the racist genocidal fundamentalists who today have promised a “holocaust” in the illegally occupied territories of Gaza then shame on you.
