    I've a feeling they could be yet sending the IDF home to roost.

    Because he hasn't got two brain cells to rub together I'd say.

    Sorry you're right. Would you like to express your own sorrow regarding the unjustified slaughter of Palestinian children,teenagers and adults?

    Says the poster whose presence in here was non-existent, during some of the worst horrors committed by the Zionist regime. Suddenly, we now have moral pontification because of some lighthearted banter........please.

    Your snipes and attempted distractions sound extremely hollow against the backdrop of the photos of death and destruction coming out of Gaza. Your attempt to link opposition to zionism with anti-semiticism is also a pretty poor tactic

    Why don't you answer the question posed to you first? That's generally how discussions go.

    And now we're in the standard issue no response on the question at all territory. Why the fake quote?

    Alot of people id imagine, Why so negative ?

    If Brands youtube makes one person stop and think about the disinformation that they are used to day in and day out from the likes of Fox well then it as achieved what it was meant to.

    More crystal exposure of this conflict is required and of the lobbied media trash that most of the US population is forced to swallow.

    You couldn't even if you wanted. Trying to boycott nations is pointless. It's like 'lets boycott the evil Russians' alright then, lets boycott their gas when winter comes around.. Not going to happen.

    I just think it's an easy target. He should aim higher. I'd prefer to see him using his celebrity status to make THE celebrity president feel a little uneasy.

    Call out Obama.

    We live in a global economy and most manufactured goods are made in low wage economies and franchises of many food outlets source their ingredients from the cheapest markets they can find. Is there an Irish campaign for the boycotting of Israeli products and do you know what companies they have targeted?.Do you know if they confine their list to those companies who operate in the occupied territories? Can you provide some information if so? Given the complexity of corporate structures and investment how would you advocate for a fair system of boycott? Do you think it would be justified?

    Bigotry, such as the type displayed by Fox News anchor Sean Hannity ia dangerous. The propaganda that he and his ilk are spouting is heinous. The Israel Palestine conflict is extremely complex, but Hannity is attempting to over simplify the whole thing. Painting Israel as the no questions asked good guys is disgusting.
    As part of the interview, Hannity asked Munayyer, “what part of this can’t you get through your thick head?”, before stopping the interview short when Munayyer refused to answer “yes” to the question “Is Hamas a terrorist organisation?” He invites a speaker on to his show to give the Palestinian point of view and then pushes his own agenda on the guy, refusing to let him say anything. He then ask the Israeli speaker a question, who gets 2 minutes of unbroken speaking time. Munayyer, appalled at this tries to retort and is told to shut up.

    Heres Brand's response to Hannity

    People who boycott US products, particularly US military products, would have to include the internet - so you are unlikely to find those guys on here.
