1. Who is paying for Pal propganda? The EU, the USA or UNWRA?
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE   (09.05.11)
2. non of your business
Sam   (09.05.11)
It is actually non of your business.
3. WASTE OF TIME, PALLYWOOD
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.05.11)
The "bid" will be vetoed by the USA, the USA will be far from alone in the rejection of the bid for statehood. Which violates several past agreements between Israel and PLO. Therefore even the act of making the bid, makes it illegal under International Law. Since one of the requirements for an entity is that it honor past agreements. The bid itself is proof that this entity cannot or will not, honor past agreements, the epitome of hypocrisy.
4. Having listened to this piece of 55 second in each language,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.05.11)
one is certainly reminded of Germany of the 1930s and Egypt's Nasser of the 1950s and 1960s. Sad, sad indeed that the Muslim-Arabs living next door still can't communicate in a rational analytic fashion and need to use some of the ugliest means by which to promote their simplistic message.
5. Sam it is if Iam paying via UN dues or some NGO that
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE   (09.05.11)
gets a tax deduction. How is the zakat from the brothers.?
6. Why dont they speak Palestinian?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (09.05.11)
7. Palestinian propaganda
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.05.11)
I hope they will commemorate about the inventor of the word PALESTINE, roman emperor Hadrianus, nr 2. murder of jews in the history. Also they would remember, comrade Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev, for his significant role in making the word Palestinian well known all over the world.
8. Here is Palestine .... Palestine will be here forever.
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.05.11)
I love this video so much every time i hear it it brings tears to me eyes.
9. How will a terrorist state stabilize the region??
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.05.11)
10. A message from the Future
Muayyad ,   Palestine   (09.05.11)
Our children call on to your children not to miss this historic chance to save the original UN partition plan and salvage what's left of the 2-state solution. There is simply two choices: 2-states, or 1-state. Both of these could, in theory, provide us with a long-term peace prosperity based on justice and equity. Invoke the "Jordan is Palestine" nonsense, or "Live under our occupation in perpetual inferiority=status quo" and prepare for some very dire consequences, of your own making. Salam / Shalom The Land of Milk and Honey
11. The response to the term "Palestinian propoganda" is
seadog1946 ,   Erie Basin, NYC   (09.05.11)
directly relational to your belief in "Isareli hasbara".
12. pal propoganda
Sam M ,   UK   (09.05.11)
Regardless of any slick pr campaign conducted by palestinian thugs in suits Israel has one ace up it's sleeve and that is to simply refuse to allow a second terrorist state to emerge in Judea and Samaria which will turn into a second gaza in the blink of an eye. Israel should annex all land in Judea and Samaria without major palestinian centres of population. Any negative fall out from this move (and there will be plenty) will be far outweighed by the threat posed by a second terrorist entity on the so called 'west bank'. Slick pr campaigns dont change the reality on the ground. Look no further than the fatah and hamas charters (not to mention the scores of other palestinian groups with identical aims) to see exactly what language these trolls speak. And as for peace they turned down the UN partition plan in 1947 and every other subsequent peace proposal made by Israel. They wont even recognise Israel as a Jewish state which exposes their real agenda which is the creation of a new palestinian state covering all of present day Israel which will be one step closer if Israel buckles under international pressure Lets translate the word NO into 26 languages!
13. pal propoganda
Sam M ,   UK   (09.05.11)
Yes of course Israel is responsible for all the suffering that's why she accepted partition in 1947 and the arabs rejected it. The real nakba is the sheer stupidity of the arab and palestinian leadership. The intolerance, brutality and inability to accept the prescence of non-muslims in the middle east a trait deeply rooted in the arab mindset. Propoganda wont change that fact one iota.
14. Palestinian Statehood PR Frenzy
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (09.05.11)
You don't have to be a Jewish Marshall McLuhan to understand that what the Palestinian statehood initiative lacks in substance and permanence they are simply creating out of thin advertising air. Their empty malicious deceitful schemes will only boomerang on them in the fulness of time. Iran will be their only supporter. In words only of course - words they share of hate for jews and the desire to murder jews
15. Propaganda on Air
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (09.05.11)
Why deny PA their finest hour? In for a surprise as they attempt planting their timebomb underneath Israel's future . They will have lost the base from which peace was possible to construct ,as Israel must now annex West bank so idiocy on a grand scale is avoided in future
16. #8;Salma, POOR GIRL, HOW SAD
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.05.11)
I'll post what I've posted before as have many others. Go to the top of your page and type this phrase into your address bar ("Speedy's Media: Questions for the Palestinians"); Then press "Enter". A list will pop up, and click onto the phrase above, and read the article. If you can answer these simple yet revealing questions, please post your response, were all so anxious for the answers. So far nobody has. CASE CLOSED No country, people called Palestinians ever existed.WHOOPS!!!! BTW, Since Nobody has ever been able to answer any of these simple questions, why do you that is? Hmmm.
17. #4 - give them time...
seadog1946 ,   Erie Basin, NYC   (09.05.11)
western PR specialists, adequately remunerated, will eventually create an acceptable PC tone.
18. #2 It is our business, it's not your $$
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.05.11)
Most likely source would be Iran, who has the money and wants the PA to be just another part of the Iranian scheme to take over the Middle East for its own
19. #4 Salma, there NEVER was Palestine
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.05.11)
No independent Government of its own, NO Rulers, NO coinage, NO nothing to represent what one would have referred to as a prior existence As a matter of fact, YOU, YOURSELF are proof that there never was a Palestine, you have continually refused to answer my questions that would have proven that your fictional Palestine ever existed 15 days & counting until zilch Crying towel ready ??
20. Elior Levy: ""Pa launches...."
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MANKINDNATION/LAND   (09.05.11)
the palestinian people and any other people have the right to take such an action, regardless the consequences and repercussions etc.
21. #19 Actually it could be 20 or 25 days to the vote...
Muayyad ,   Palestine   (09.05.11)
You are strongly advised to keep quiet until the vote and the ensuing consequences for your occupation and racism. Palestine will be the 194th member of the UN, 63 too late (better late than never). By the way, I have replied to your curious questions on multiple occasions. Too bad YNET has censored my replies, each and every time. Please take your grievances to them! Perhaps they are afraid of a little dosage of truth and reality.
22. Palestinian talent.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.05.11)
Do not underestimate the talent of the palestinian people. However it is true, that jews invented tens of thousands of innovations in the field of science, medicine, computer technics etc. but also the palestinians have at least one significant invention. A complicated device of wires, detonators and explosives carried by the palestinian suicide bomber !
23. If they want support try stopping the missiles and terror
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (09.05.11)
If they want support try stopping the missiles and terror attacks, would be a good start to show that they are grown up enough to aspire to their own country,
24. ABUNDANCE OF LIES AS HISTORY
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.05.11)
Having listened to an English portion at roughly 13 minutes into the video, I laughed. It started with a lie...of course...that "their people" were "expelled" from the land without mentioning they started a war to destroy Israel. Never telling anybody they ever even referred to themselves as "Palestinians", but as Syrians. Again a well documented fact from public statements by all Arab leaders at the time. Then of course they talk about the 1967 defensive war war Israel was forced into fighting as an "aggression" by Israel..Ignoring all the facts that surround that war. Including numerous well documented public statements reported in newspapers around the world that it would be "a war of annihilation against Israel". I guess Israel was suppose to wait for Arabs to set a perfect battlefield position to destroy Israel, before Israel did a thing. Yea, right. If a guy is pointing a gun at your head, and tells you, he is going to kill you, you don't have wait for him to pull the trigger before you react, do you? This is the silly, laughable Arab logic called Pallywood. The same logic that the Palmer Report just repudiated, BTW.
25. #21 Sure, blame it on YNET, Muyyad.
Yossi G. ,   Jerusalem   (09.05.11)
That wouldn't be the kind of thing they would censor. Try posting your answers in a polite manner and I'm sure they'll publish it (if you can). You folks are always trying to pass the buck aren't you? That's why you're in this position in the first place.
26. Abbas its not the peace process the protestors were demandin
zionist forever   (09.05.11)
The idea of saying will you let your kids stay in tanks all their lives is smart and will appeal to some but I think for most Israeli's they are not going to be interested in anything Abbas dreams up. Up until all these protests began all the polls were showing that Bibi and the right wiingers would not only win the next election but they would take more seats from Labor and Kadima. The people might have decided they want social justice but they haven't all become peacenicks and start supporting Abbas bid for statehood. Yossi Belin tried a stunt like this with his Geneva Initiative .. radio broadcasts, leaflet drops but not only did he not get any support but Meretz are down to three Knesset seats. If an Israeli politician is going to have a hard time then Abbas is going to have an even harder one. The British, French and Spanish will all vote in favor of Abbas so he has them in his back pocket with or without radio broadcasts. Its just a shame Obama didn't bring Abbas under control when he had a chance. All he needed to do was let him know who was boss the way he was trying to do with Bibi rather than act as his puppet because its what the Muslims wanted to see. If he had put Abbas in his place he could have forced him to negotiate three years ago.
27. No. 17 seadog
NYC Girl   (09.05.11)
Can't happen. The so-called Palestinians have this genocidal wet dream about annihilating Israel...and they ain't about to give it up any time soon. And while they'll sound accommodating when they're speaking in English to western audiences, those of us who have followed this conflict for any length of time, know damned well their true intentions are what they reveal in Arabic to their own people...because they've been playing this duplicitous game just about forever.
28. This is my favorite Pallywood clip
Dan Kelso   (09.05.11)
The Palestinians holding funerals for supposedly dead Palestinians in Jenin, then the dead come to the life. This is so funny, its amazing people can believe these lying Arabs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRz5WnHemkw
29. Israel owns the truth. Let's use it!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.05.11)
For decades, we have had incontrovertible proof Judea and Samaria legally belong to Israel. This proof has been supplied by many world leading international law experts, including Eugene Rostow, author of U.N. Resolution 242. Yet Israel's government suppresses the truth. Inexplicably, we allow "Palestinians" to spread their lies unopposed. This is ludicrous. It would take little or no effort or expense for Israel to serve incontrovertible proof, of our legal ownership of Judea and Samaria, on all world governments, media, NGOs etc. There is no excuse for our failure to do so. While we can't, and shouldn't try, to win our enemies' agreement; the proof is sufficiently compelling to greatly strengthen our position, strongly encourage our friends and proof our case to every open minded person. Israel owns the truth. Let's use it!
30. #8. Looming huge fiasco will prove Palestine is bogus.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.05.11)
#8. We are not about to witness the rise of Palestine. We are about to witness the second, and final, absurd statehood declaration of Palestine. It will be an even bigger failure than BDS, the flotillas and the first Palestine statehood declaration. Salma, dear, it will never happen. It doesn't sound like you're ready to make peace with that fact; however, your descendants will have no choice. The looming huge Palestine fiasco will prove, to one and all, that Palestine is bogus.
