Comments by "John Beerschoten" (@JohnBeerschoten) on "US economist Jeffrey Sachs says Israel has a murderous gang in government" video.

  1. Israel does not respect the law. On what legal grounds does Israel base the rights it believes it has? Religion is not a legal ground.

  2. Read: Jimmy Carter: Palestine, Peace not Apartheid; Shlomo Sand: The Invention of The jewish People and: How I Stopped Being a Jew; Rashid: The Hundred Year's War on Palestine; Ilan Pappe: The History of Modern Palestine.

  3. Israel is an illegal state, that's why they need all that military force and American taxpayers money. The Middle East is Arab territory.

  4. The Berlin Conference took place from November 15, 1884 to February 26, 1885, in which Africa was divided among the European powers. Without one African present and without consuling the African people. Thus without their consent. This is called colonization. The same goes for other people to decide over the territory of Palestine without the consent of the people, as in 1917 by the British Crown, is called colonization. The International Community (UN) does not have the right to constitute a new state (Israel) on other peoples land (Palestine). This follows from the one page November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declaration on behalf of the British Crown.

  5. Israel has no right to exist on other people's land. This follows from the November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declartation. When you read it carefully. It states the conditions by the British Crown under which the refugee jews were allowed to live in Palestine. One of the conditions is “‘that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religeous rights of existing non-jewish communities in Palestine”. Continuous violation.

  6. Palestinians are the descendants of the inhabitants of the area known as 'Historic Palestine'. The Palestinians have a fascinating Arab culture.

  7. Let's be enlightend. There are bad and good things written in the Bible yet, that does not make it the Word of God. These books, including the Torah, were written by and for the jews themselves. There is no Word of God other than our conscience, no Chosen People and no Holy Land. The land was and is Palestinian territory in the Arab Middle East. All the Israelites must be moved to the United States because the Israelites have abused, during 75 years, the unique and dubious opportunity for their own state. They will never follow and obey the law, not even after 75 years. God did not speak to Abraham through the burning bush. Study that.
