What about the Palestinian’s right to their self-defense?

LivingHistorySchool says:

how do you sleep at night witchy woman?

MrCati says:

The stark reality of all this insane political and deceptive media blather,
is that when Israel and the IDF responds to Hamas, or anyone for that
matter, it is called an act of self defense, but when Hamas responds to the
IDF, it is called an act of terror? This is like saying to the world, only
Israel has a right to self defense, while all others don’t have a right to
self defense. Seems to me there needs to be some clarity on what is self
defense and who has a right to it and under what conditions does this term
actually apply? If self defense measures only applies to Israel, then it
appears to me that we could have found the “ITCH” of why there is no peace
in the Middle East.

Mephistopheles Lux says:

Thumbs up if you think psaki is wearing extra tight leather panties.

HowToSPS says:

If the West is so concerned with Hamas’ indiscriminate rocket attacks
against civlians

then just like Hamas said numerous times

if Israel stops targeting Palestinian civilians and the world supplies
Hamas with advanced weaponry so they can accurately target military sites

then they will stop firing blindly into civlian areas

DANT333Z says:

80 palestinian civilians have died and she made the whole press conference
about how hamas should stop firing rockets. Palestinian lives aint worth
shit to them.

Alex Mercer says:

I hope someone gangrapes this bitch to death 🙂 

dannyinaus says:

Israel needs to be brought to justice over human rights violations. And
the American people need to realise they are culpable because they allow
these Zionist pigs to control their government.

blackacidlizzard says:

When Jews kill uninvolved civilians, it is “self defense,” and Jews have an
inalienable right to do this. When a White goy is threatened with a gun,
killing the privileged “minority” who threatened him is a “racist” act of
“murder” and he is locked away. “Gun control”? No, my friend, it is goy
control.

Gaidal Cain says:

When the opportunity comes for justice for the land called israel, there
will be no mercy shown. For now, let them continue to make their bloody bed
so that they may lie in it. 

Shabir Ali says:

So if I slap this lady across the face can I call it self defence?

enginekid88 says:

Israel has a right to self-defense but Palestine does not? Syria does not
have that right? 

Smedley Butler says:

The death toll and property damage in this is one sided and sees the
Palestinian children burned alive in their own homes from Israeli White
Phosphorus airstrikes.

J Money On Da Beat says:

Israel has killed hundreds of civilians in Gaza recently including
children. Yes Hamas may be launching rockets but they can easily be shot
down and have caused no serious casualties or damage. These strikes are
unjustified. 

VTSPQR says:

Israel is the a terrorist organization! Not the Palestinians…

MPTCE says:

I agree that Hamas are terrorists, and if i was in the Israeli Army’s
place, i wouldn’t wait a second to take actions, i support Israel this
time.

Mile Jukic says:

What’s with her skin, is it possible that she’s one of those reptilian
shapeshifting thing ??

rivercarper01 says:

So the fact that Hamas is hiding under buildings gives them a right to blow
up the whole building, with civilians inside in order to kill them? that is
ridiculous, what if I wanted to shoot someone hiding behind her? can I just
shoot through her in order to hit the target? 

souria alassad says:

isreal is a terrorist country 

AndrewMacedonia says:

Gingers have no souls like the episode of south park said look at this
bitch like a fucking robot 

maria silva says:

Oh, more of RT trying to slander Jen Psaki. Seriously, RT, I’m honestly
asking you: what is your fetish with this woman?

thug sodier says:

Israel bomb them till Hamas grow some brains. Fuck any one who thinks
Israel doesn’t have the right to retaliate can kiss bin laden’s ass

UgenixK says:

The land that Zionists stole in 1948 wasnt enough. Theyve illegaly occupied
and pushed Palestinians to the brink of extinction in their own land.
Forget religion, this about humanity. If Palestinians don’t resist they
will just be wiped out. If they resist they’ll still be murdered. Wtf
happened to right to self determination??? Fuck the US government they cry
over russia in Ukraine but not a word of condemnation on Israel. 80
Palestinians killed. 0 Israelis killed and they’re the victim. Land
grabbing thieves. Hope Zionists rot in the deepest part of hell. Even
orthodox jews hate Israel. I was at a protest in London and a jewish man
next to me was burning the israeli flag. Even true jews hate their
occupying murdering ways

TheRedCapitalist says:

In reality there are only 2 terror organizations in the world, the US and
it’s little satellite Israel. Hamas, Al-Queda, ISIS etc etc etc etc etc are
all men in the mirror, they sprung up as a result of US destabilization
programs and dirty wars

Vikinger Icelandersson says:

She is talking about Israel have right to defend themselves,what about
Palestine do they have no right to defend themselves also when been
Invaded, so when they shoot back they are called terrorist what bullshit it
that, do people not realize that Palestine have full right to defend
themselves, or maybe if Palestine do not resist then Israel can continue to
rob more land from Palestine as they have always done, the only reason that
Palestine is resisting Israeli occupation is that because this land belong
to Palestine and so many people in Palestine that were used to live in the
countryside now have no roof over the head because Israel have broken their
houses down and now all this people are forced to live in only city that is
in Palestine and so many people live in this city in terrible
conditions many families are forced to live many together in one apartment.

JoeyFaustAGoGo says:

Israel is a terrorist organization, Jews are parasitic murderous invaders
where ever they set foot on Earth, except when properly placed in mass
graves with their own kind, the grubs and maggots, but even then you risk
contaminating the soil.

waqas ur rehman says:

They are all hypocrits, no point talking to these suckers they will support
Israel anyway. Talking about self defences, since when did dropping 400
tonnes of bombs in two days and 11 strike an hour a became an act of self
defence that of against civilian. The reality is these Jews have declare
war on Muslim all around the world and made the word terrorist an excuse to
do so. When Muslim retaliate they are declared terrorists. But when Israel
does it, its an act of self defence. 

RussiasNumber1 says:

“Deeply tragic” about the lose of Israeli children and women. Yet when
Ukrainian army shells them day and night they have “a right to do so”. 

absolutedivine Jones says:

The stupid bitch is at it again

silversobe says:

Still got that screwy look in her eye..

paul heims says:

WHAT!!!!!!!!
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/mar/05/russia.chechnya
RT never broadcast any of their own weekly Russian state Press Meetings,
are the Russian press banned from attending??????????????

seany says:

Hamas has weapons with the technology of fireworks that kill no one, so
Apartheid Israel drops 800 tones of explosives on a city with the highest
density of human life of any place on Earth. There is absolutely not one
redeeming quality out of all Israelis.

ouchyg says:

This goes beyond embarrassing and into insulting. No intelligent American
supports what this woman is saying. If America can’t even get this right
then what the heck do we stand for? 

delawaredistroyer says:

With the white house doing the business as usual routine, and no real
comment from Obama, this has israel garbage written all over it. RT has
become even more important to the people of the US to help us see the
truth. 

mele host says:

Jen Psaki looks uncannily like the people who acted in Boston Bombing
actors event. That type of masked persona. The liar character. Is she
more Zionists or Vatican leaning?
