Renegade Jewish Settlers Part 2/5 

To think that a South African immigrant thinks he has a greater right then an indigenous Palestinian is crazy & mind bogling

If I inherited the land that all my 60 generations owned then I would own half the world.

So his parents lived there 2000 years ago. wow 2000 year old people!

I love the logic. Two thousand years ago my parents lived there so clearly it must be mine. Hell, I guess I own the world because at some point in my lineage an ancestor had to have lived just about everywhere.

I was having a snooze this morning & God told me that I could have my neighbours house in my dream. So I'll be going over there shortly to let him know..give him a couple of hours to get his stuff out but I want him gone by 6

Funny how the "archaeologist" kept on saying it's their land before he had actually found anything to back up his claim.

so if i convert to judaism, can i go over and claim a part of west bank, too?

Alright, enough! I'm going back to Sicily and claim back the house in which my ancestors used to live several centuries ago....I will hire some dudes in military clothes who will force the current owners out so I can move in and also enslave those owners so I'll have my own personal servants taking care of all the chores around my new house. Thanks Israel, your criminal genius is truly inspirational

back when vice used to do real reporting

"Our parents lived here 2,000 years ago", apparently their parents have discovered the secret to immortality. Perhaps they should share it with us, the Americans. After all, we're the ones bankrolling their little excavations.

oh word. well im black so I can just move back to nigeria and start claiming land because africa is my historical land? who knew. can white americans do the same thing in germany and britain? i have a feeling the people there wont like it. sorry jews but the moment you left, you gave up your right.

"Our parents lived here about 2000 years ago". Wow! Well in that case... I'm from central Holland, which, two millennia ago, was inhabited by Celts whose ancestors migrated here from the Alps. I think I'm going to gear up and head east. Out of my way, Helvetii, that mountain range belongs to ME!!

"oh yeah so we're Italians and since our ancestors lived in England 2,000 years ago we're taking it back. Thanks for taking care of it though!" Wouldn't that seem ridiculous? This whole situation is a total fucking mess

Their god told them that land is theirs but forgot to tell everyone else. Especially the ones already living there. Smh

Im happy to see Vice covering such a disgusting imbalanced situation

this is freakin wrong.. settlers if they pay for land. buy it from the people who live there.. it's one thing but it doesnt sound like they are doing that it sounds like they are just land grabbing

Hey all my fellow Irish descended friends, are you guys ready go to Ireland and settle some land? Our ancestors lived there so it's legitimate.

I was raised Jewish and support a 2 state solution. I gotta say this is very upsetting, as a people who’ve been persecuted for thousands of years you would think the Israelis would be hesitant to turn around and do the persecution. But here they are doing it. Yes Historically Jews lived there before Muslims but that was over 2000 years ago. Let the Palestinians run the West Bank without Israeli intervention, colonization and over all presence. In the future maybe things will calm down enough that the two sides can cross borders and get along with each other but for now Israelis need to stay in Israel and let Palestine have its freedom.

My grandfather is Greek so I’m guessing by this same logic it means Greece is MINE lol these people are completely out of their minds

ISRAEL'S LAND -- CASE CLOSED! The land belongs to the Jewish people. When two parties to a dispute come to court to settle their difference, the first words the judge utters are, "let's start from the beginning, and present any evidence(s) you have." The earliest mention of the Holy Land as Palestine (probably in reference to the Philistines, a non-Arabic, non-Semitic people from the Greek Isles who invaded the southern coast of the Holy Land in the 2nd half of the 12th Cen. BCE) is by the Greek historian, Herodotus (5th Cen. BCE). In contrast, one of the earliest mention of the Holy Land as Israel is the 9th Cen. BCE archaeological find the Mesha Stele commissioned by the king of Moab (present-day Jordan) which mentions Israel and a king of Israel, namely, Omri. (The Mesha Stele aka Moabite Stone is housed at The Louvre in Paris, France.) The claim that the land belongs to the "Palestinians" should be reflected in the archaeological record. Can someone cite one archaeological evidence for the "Palestinians?"

it's not west bank, it's Judah and sameria

As an Israeli, I’m not saying that the settlers are innocent and I disagree with a lot of their ideas. But, this article is clearly pro Palestinian and even anti Israeli, because the guy is clearly mostly ignoring the Palestinian part in the conflict and only talking about Israel’s fault because it suits him. Since when does he care about some conflict in a far land and what right he has to choose a side. Why do people refuse to stop talking about the past of Israel and try to focus on solving the current situation, whilst all living in country’s that have all concurred and oppressed other people in some part of their history in a much more bloody way. Israel’s policy has always put human lives at the top of the list even it meant risking its own soldiers and citizens. This video may spread awareness, but it spreads awareness to a situation that is much more one sided than In reality, which will only cause more hate for Israel and Israelis

"it was our land 2000 years ago". By that logic we may as well give the Mongols back the land they had? What about the Romans? What about the Persians or Greeks?

If you think that Jewish settlers in the West Bank are wrong then you have to agree that immigrants crossing the Mexican border into the US are wrong too.

SAD & VERY SICK Situation here in Palestine!

“I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back." ISSAC ASIMOV - American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University.

''THIS IS CALLED TRUE JOURNALISM ''GREAT JOB VICE BUT WATCH U R BACK.

One thing that the Jewish settler does not understand is that these Palestinians cannot just go to Egypt or Syria. He thinks of Arabs as some kind of nationality. But Arabs are not a nationality, they are just a pan-ethnicity- they are either Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, etc. This is why these are called Palestinians by the world and not " Arabs". If they go to Syria or Egypt, they will not be accepted there and will be seen as foreigners. This is how they got stuck in refugee camps there. Also, Arab countries ( unlike the USA) have no birthright citizenship so the children of Palestinians in those countries are still not Egyptians or Syrians, etc. And Jews were kicked out of Europe and told to " go back home" . The Arabs who say that Jews should go back to Europe also don't get it. Europeans consider them Middle Eastern Semites and also don't accept them no matter how many generations in the country. This problem may take centuries to solve.

These Khazars have zero claim to this land.

i was a settler once, you need to understand something important, we are allowing palestine people to live the lives they want, i lived close to 3 muslim arabic mini - towns, they had the lives they wanted, palestines live togheter because they are a group, WE NEVER EVER EVER, not let a palestine family not move into a house in our town, EVER. they hardly tried to make a state for a long time now, until just a few months ago, and alot of jewish settlers are slowly moving out.

FREEDOM TO THE LEGAL AND RIGHT-FULL STATE OF PALESTINE! AND ONCE THAT IS ESTABLISHED: PIECE!

this documentaries need to be trending now......... people need to see what was already happening

So sad for the palestinians.

I'm an 9th generation Latino-American from New Spain. But since all the males in my family have served in the armed forces and have been involved in almost every single American war, I'm American first.

honestly this isnt proper journalism, simply due to the way they conduct their operation within the documentary, instead of having a proper neutral stance on the subject, hes looking only at the evidence that proves his view/bias.

The guy with that button up shirt and glasses, owns the whole lands. & Everyone is just casually trespassing..

Most Israelis are not raceist

I am a descendant of the emperor Kuzco of the Inca empire. I guess I am going to evict some Peruvians off their land and make my own settlement in Peru, and who anyone who criticizes me is a bigot towards indigenous people.

great work.

They all have dual passports and can travel around freely, however Palestinians are locked in, restricted, monitored and even have water and food controlled by the illegal occupiers. Squatter attacks on Palestinians are the norm and IDF act as body guards for them, standing by and watching as they shot and murder unarmed Palestinians. This is Apartheid and an open air prison.. currently the illegal occupants are 'mowing the lawn' (Palestinians being the grass) as the openly commit a genocide and war crime after war crime as the world looks on and British and American leaders cheer it on. Looking deeper, it turns out that Netanyahu wants to build the ben gurian canal straight through Gaza, and also as gas has been discovered in Gaza, is the reason for genociding the Palestinians.. Hamas has been used as an excuse, there is no Hamas in the West Bank, yet they are also slaughtering Palestinians there too.

Boycott Israeli goods. Divest from Israeli investments. Sanctions for Israel; end military AID and funding.

VICE continues to show its bias and inability to give balanced reporting.

The Jews are IN MY OPINION the best CULTURE (not race), and I'm at the moment an atheist. I'd love too move to Israel in a couple years

This is the guy Shane Smith had on his trip to the North Korean lumber camps

5:00 since when do jews or middle easterns look like that?

This documentary is viciously unobjective. The narrator/interviewer basically narrates his viewpoint, without any substatiation. The only contact he has with settlers is practically confrontation and provocation, instead of interviewing. The "weapons training" guy in part 1 is the only guy allowed to speak, probably because of his immaturity. I'm sure this "documentary" will be cheered by many.

We're like children on this Earth fighting for toys in a playground.

Interesting to note the archeologist speaking in this video is a former member of the Israeli Parliament his name is Dr Michael Ben Ari

Am Israel Chai!

I thinking to go someone's land and say my ancestors lived here. Now I am here to grab my land back.

Perhaps you should visit the sight of the Immaculate Conception in Nazareth. There is a church atop of this historical sight. It was supposed to left alone. The Palestinians came in, dug up a few bones, declared them to be of a lost leader and proceeded to move right on in! Do a story on that!

Just for the record, these settlers don't represent the views of most Israelis, but their actions have stopped Israel doing what is right, and hand over the West Bank to Palestine.

Step toward terror.

I agree. As my Jewish friend always told me "Up with Torah, down with Israel." The real problem is fundamentalists, whether they be violent Jihadists or Zionists. A secular state is the only way to create peace in the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel.

Great work. Yes, he may be somewhat editorializing, but if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

The religious claim Jews have over the land can be refuted because religion and ethnicity are two separate things. Ethnic Jews and Palestinians to the region have a claim, not a European descendent who moves there that isn’t ethnically tied to the place.

Search "What the Talmud Teaches" and you'll get an insight into what these sociopaths believe.

The study found that contemporary Jews (excluding Indian and Ethiopian Jews) have a close genetic relationship with people from the Levant.The study found that contemporary Jews (excluding Indian and Ethiopian Jews) have a close genetic relationship with people from the Levant. The authors explained that "The most parsimonious explanation for these observations is a common genetic origin, which is consistent with an historical formulation of the Jewish people.

Great job 👍 that's how you reclaim your land. The Romans historically conquered the Jewish land and then after the collapse of the Byzantine Empire the Ottomans conquered the land and kept it after failed crusades, until the colonial British came in. Most Jews by the time either migrated or converted for a better life.

He just said it himself every time they dig and find Jewish artifacts they build a memorial around it and Palestinians get angry cuz they feel like they're losing more land. Land that had Jewish artifacts not Palestinian artifacts

oh for the love of god! i get it you dont like israel can you just say that in an OPINION piece featuring you? What you are doing is so biased and is twisting the truth you are showing a minuscule part of the israeli people an EXTREMIST part of israel this is not journalism this is propaganda!

Alex Collier's andromedan ET contacts once asked him, "Why do you pay rent to live on a planet you were born on?!"

The old man with a kippah is right

Because God did promise you? That is the same that Santa promised me an play station.

The Iranian Air Force is holding a massive maneuver to test the country’s latest military equipment and to enhance its preparedness in the face of potential threats in simulated conditions of real war. Code named ‘Guardians of Velayat Sky-98,’ the military drill is being held over an area of 416,000 square kilometers in the central province of Semnan, simulating the Persian Gulf general area and the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Various types of state-of-the- art missile and radar systems - designed and built at home - will counter different aerial threats during the exercise. Speaking on the sidelines of the maneuver on Thursday, Commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defence Force Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi-Fard said the first phase of the drill features detecting and identifying enemy targets, while in the next phase radar system will engage airborne targets. He warned against any violation of Iranian airspace, which he described as the country’s “redline.” In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defence sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and hardware.

with this reference point. Assuming this reference point the linkage disequilibrium in the Ashkenazi Jewish population was interpreted as "matches signs of interbreeding or 'admixture' between Middle Eastern and European populations"

Before they lived as slaves in Egypt with no land called Judea or Israel and had no previous identity as a people. But because someone wrote a book after the so called exodus was finished these people suddenly have the right to take land which in ancient times was called Canaan.

can we get coverage of this conflict without being fucking one sided? is it too much to ask for media? media y u do dis??

On the Bray et al. tree, Ashkenazi Jews were found to be genetically more divergent population than Russians, Orcadians, French, Basques, Italians, Sardinians and Tuscans. The study also observed that Ashkenazim are more diverse than their Middle Eastern relatives, which was counterintuitive because Ashkenazim supposed to be a subset, not a superset, of their assumed geographical source population.

I am not defending one side or the other. I am not in support of taking things from each other or fighting for materials. I am simply pointing out that if you take the time to connect the dots you will see what I mean.

why so few views???? the whole world should see this. i live in Australia and im Italian, the aboriginals lived here for atleast 40000 years.

Gotta take a break from Vice "News" for awhile. When the reporter throws around words like "crazy and "nuts" you know he's not a pro and he's emotionally involved in what he's reporting on.

this hits hard at the problem. jews do not belong in Palestine, it's not their land, and they have no claim to it.. yet the land reaping and human rights violations are happening as i write this.. they do not want the Palestinians to become a state, that's why they stepped up their land reaping process after the landslide victory Palestinians had at the UN last year. too bad they will have to give it all up when the UN orders them to go back to the original land agreement..

Iranians are very Mainstream American these days, much more than Iraqi americans or Afghani Americans. There are A LOT of Iranians in top positions in the US, and are not hated people at ALL. So the idea of starting a war with their home country for a reason that isn't a threat to the US, is not going to happen. It happened for Iraq and Afghanistan because their population isn't too big in the US or connected with other races. The Iranians are VERY mainstream Americans. I'm German American.

Prefer Shari'ya Law, go to places where that's state law. Russia doesn't need minorities. Minorities need Russia,we will not grant privileges, or change laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland & France, if were to survive as a nation. Russian customs, traditions are not compatible w/ lack of culture or primitive ways of minorities. Minorities are not Russians.” Duma gave Putin a 5 minute ovation!

I think the irony was intentional - in addition to that I can't perceive what pressing your head into the ground and muttering a thousand year-old series of words will achieve...peace is born from the correct action and the correct inaction

It's horrendous to see this, and kind of ironic since the Jewish people themselves were hunted down and were taken away from their homes during WWII. Why would anyone want to destroy someone's home and take it away for themselves. The worst thing is that they believe it's the right thing to do...God's gift.

Whether we agree or disagree, your people came out of Europe into a land with no familiarity for over hundreds of years and settled there without permission. The colonization by foreign rulers decided these matters; with NO regards to the Arabs. Explain your jew ancestry and their comments on the matter. 1. "After we create a state and become strong, we shall move onto Palestinian land" -David Ben Gurion 2. Israel recently admittance to Inoculating Somalian immigrants without permission.

Its not just that, DNA proves that most palestinans who are currently residing in the area have similar DNA to the ancient native inhabitants, in contrast only 20 percent of israelies have that DNA.

I think he is referring to the zionists. Jews are not an ethnic group. They are just a group of people from all over the world. Israel has europeans, africans, middle easterners etc. Its very diverse.

its not your land jews..its palestinian land

This land is your land, this land is now my land. From the Golan heights to the West bank isles. To the sandy beaches to the Gulf Stream waters. This land was made for Jews and me. Israel 2019

I know other ethnic groups HAVE totally lost all their land before. Don't think it's just these Jews. The Native Indian people of the Americas before the settlers came lost their's. They were robbed of it, kicked out, exiled, everything. And given insufficient land in the end. I agree with your message and don't generate strife, but I am saying, do not forget the Indian people. Do not....

Thank you. WE can discuss this and maybe both get a different angle or perspective on things. A lot of Israelis are outraged at what is done in their name. They are the true people of bravery when they speak out.

The name "settler" is a Jewish euphemism for a violent occupier kicking people of their own land if not kills

Kind of correct, the Arab League allows free movement between Arab states - unless you are a Palestinian Arab, or a descendant of one, although there have been loopholes where Pal Arabs gained citizenship. What Israel should do is give those who want to leave a golden handshake and they will be welcomed in whichever country they go to as VIPs. Those who want to live in peace with the Jews should come out and say so - but do they dare to? "Collaborators" have a short life among the Arabs.

Don't worry Israel, the majority of American opinion of your people isn't reflected by these negative comments.

whereas where I live, I hear about 5 mosques making their calls to prayer, 5 times a day, quite literally, surrounding me. Muslim marriage is dictated according to Muslim law (not state law, as in most western countries) and the Arabs are more or less free to live according to their Sharia law. Arabs are so protected in Israel that it even goes to the extent their rights seem legally justified to infringe on others rights. If I want to listen to the radio at home, the majority of the stations

"No picture today". Buddy should go back the next day then.

1. Religious extremists on all sides make this situation completely intractable. 2. Netanyahu recently said he does not want to ever see a two state solution.

if they are stealing land because they got attack and than concord. fine. but they should still be buying that land. it's wrong if they dont

I’m just glad that people are not trying to throw me and my children out of my home and country because they say there ancestors owned the land 2,000 years ago. Zionism is about colonialism, ethnic cleansing and primitive tribalism.

To my knowledge there has never been a sovereign state on that land since ancient Israel, just second-rate provinces of other countries. And there has never been a time in history when the Jews didn't live in the region...

reporter looks like austin powers

Simon is by far a much better Host. Videos by Danny Gold just annoy me and meander pointlessly around with regards to questions and direction.

@Scott Norman Rosenthal I distinguished them as a "group of Arabs" thus not lumping them together. I didn't deny their identity, in fact I gave an accurate definition of what Palestinian means in a literal sense and in the colloquial term. The rest of your comment is merely childish name calling which leads me to assume you have nothing left to say

I love Israel but I don't know why they even signed the 2 state solution treaty? Why not take all of the land? One war and the problem is solved instead of this... So sketchy

M.L.KING "You declare, my friend; that you do not hate Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist'. And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of G-D's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews -- this is G-D's own truth.

Irony is that any group have occupied Jerusalem

its 25 percent of your military. But I think the more important aspect of our relationship is the technology and intelligence.
