What an amazing surprise to find this video in my in box. Stanley Goldfoot was a real character and a kind fellow that was never lost for words. Enjoy.

I knew Stanley Goldfoot when I lived In Israel during the 1980’s and spent many hours listening to his stories of Jerusalem and the founding of the State of Israel. He was an amazing story teller and always kept an audience spellbound by his passionate and charismatic character. This video was sent to me and I felt the need to post it on Israelseen. Enjoy.

Good propaganda Video in deed.

Jerusalem should be Neutral and not belong to Israel or Palestine. The video is failing to see reality and fails to acknowledge facts. Such a UN resolutions....

The Video is filed with hate and defamation propaganda. Mixed with Real facts and trues.

Clever.

Paschen Your UN resolution comment is moot at best. The facts are that the arab world rejected 181 which would have created a palestinian state. Hence Resolution 242 requires the arab neighbors to recognize and be at peace with Israel. To date Egypt did soin 1979 . by doing so they received Sanai Peninsula back and denied acceptance of Gaza. jordan also abided 242 got back territories but denied West Bank and East Jerusalem. I would suspect that legally Israel can annex any of the unwanted land left in their occupation. In my opinion israel can carve up what they like how they like and the legality of the arab neighbors of dispute is not valid. Refused 181 and Jordan/Egypt declined their occupation of the above mentioned. Just saying!

Not propaganda my friend but a sincere belief in his love for Jerusalem and the Jews right to keep it open for all. No Uwe, not hate but anger at the world for never caring about what happens to Jews globally. That is the truth. Also, this was written in 1969. Put it into prospective.

I am not sure if I listen to the same video then you here. The tone alone reminded me the old Wochen Schau from 1940 and I did not like that one either.

Thanks for the great video Tikun. I see no hatred whatsoever. It is strange how whatever comes out of the so called "powerful nations" is always considered the ultimate truth and anything else is considered "hatred". Truly, that never ceases to amaze me.
