Egyptian actor a little upset on Israeli TV

[jimnyc]

Not sure I get the whole thing, but apparently he wasn't aware this was being broadcast on Israeli TV. And then it's bad enough that he is going to assault the guys in the studio, and try and destroy the studio - but he also assaults the woman interviewer. What a tolerant bastard! The fun starts after the 3 minute mark or so.

Have Egyptian identification? You're ok then. Broadcasting me to that country full of jews? I must beat you! Watch till the last 2 minutes as well when they do the same thing to the ever so tolerant Muslim actress.

It appears to be an Egyptian version of Punk'd. The reactions speak volumes though.

Yeap. all "candid camera" as they say in the video, more or less a prank on the unsuspecting interviewees. But the first guy still assaulted the woman cause he thought she lied and was Jewish. Then the actress laughed about the holocaust and talked about how Israel is a nation of liars, and spoke of all kinds of crap when told she was on Israeli TV.

All fun and games when its Egyptian, but these people think they have committed major sins when they think they are talking to Jews.

See how quick they were to turn to violence. Sure must to have been muslims for we saw how they love peace so much. What freaking scum rushing over to hit a woman = no honor , no shame but pure hate... All hail the Religion of Peace.. We see how they really are !--Tyr

Its a prank show. They provoke reactions from actors on purpose. The reactions to it from those who don't understand what is going on are blown out of proportion.

Yes, it's a prank, and maybe they are in fact "provoking" for reactions, but I don't see how anyone twisted their arms to react in the manner they did. No one forced the guy to hit the woman and talk about Jews in the manner he did. Before she even knew better, no one told the actress to talk smack about Jews and how it's an entire nation of liars, and nobody twisted either of their arms to make them go nutso when they thought they were being broadcast on Israeli TV.

So yes, a lot of fake stuff going on, but their responses, and words and such before they were notified, seemed real as can be to me. Watch the actress at the end again, before she knew what was going on. Do you agree with the way she talked about Israel and Jews?

[Gaffer]

This is what egyptians think of Jews and Israel. It's a very telling candid example. Would be interesting to see a segment where there was someone who shrugged and said so what when informed they were on Israeli TV. Somehow I don't think there was any.

Of course you would have to defend it jafar. Most of us didn't expect you would do anything else.

I don't agree with ANY of it! He was WAY out of control (as most of them are) and if you listen carefully, you will here what most of them truly believe...that it is NEVER, EVER their fault; another characteristic that they share with the lil' libbie loser lemmings! Blame Bush, Blame Israel, Blame America...the same $#!T from both sides and I'm sick of it. Anyway, and so that nobody will have to view that distasteful footage again....the creep leans to apologize and say: "...YOU brought it upon yourself." How revolting!!!

Yes he was out of line, but they were playing with fire. Firstly by getting someone on the show who is known to have a temper and second for lying to him and provoking him.

There is also the fact that Egyptians hate Israel. You forget that not too long ago they had a brutal war where Israel bombed schools and hospitals in Egypt. The hatred is still there just like the hatred you would feel for Nazi Germany or for Al Qaeda.

Anyway, this is just a TV show that pranks and insults famous people, and provokes reactions out of them.

I agree that their intent was to provoke. But ANY individual has the benefit of self control and the control to act how THEY want, not how someone else wants them to. No on forced this man to act like a sexist pig, and then hit a woman, and then assault others and damage private property. No one forced the woman actress to paint with such a wide brush of hatred and label an entire country as liars and pigs and such.

Yes, they were setup to be a in a position that the others knew would probably make them angry. They took the bait, and showed their TRUE colors as to how they would react if simply presented to be discussing jews, or being broadcast or interviewed by a jew.

Being broadcast on a station, by an interviewer of another faith, and being lied to on top of all that - DOES NOT give one the right to act in the manner they did.

With all due respect, Jafar, you're simply making excuses for a few people who acted like scumbags when tricked into doing so. If that stuff wasn't in their hearts already, the hatred for Israel and Jews, they never would have responded as they did.

You only need to watch Jerry Springer to see the same or worse.

They played on the hatred left over from war with Israel. Much like the hatred of Japanese or the Germans years after WW2 or for Vietnamese after the Vietnam War. And that got out of hand.

Here is another similar setup clip. It's just what they do. The bus is full of actors. The "victim" is the guy getting the phone number of the attractive US tourist (he is married. Naughty boy)

Yes, Jafar, it's pranks. It's all pranks. Every bit of it.

Easily explainable, isn't it, ALL of it, in those terms ?

Jafar, the Middle East is full of 'pranksters', isn't it ? Gaza is full of playful little pranksters, firing 'pranks' at Israeli territory with things that playfully go 'bang'.

And of course, we all know about that playful comedian from Iran who joked about wiping Israel from the map. Those defending him often try to claim he didn't mean what was said. What a jolly prank THAT was ....

Jafar, when you consider all that Israel has had to tolerate from the Arab world alone, wouldn't it just be really peachy if Arab nationals, Egyptian or otherwise, could adopt some humility ?? Instead, that is, of seemingly never-ending displays of belligerence whenever they think they might be able to get away with it, when the mood takes them ?

... or, would that ruin the 'joke' ... ??

You being an infidel wouldnt know why you are so wrong but Jafar could tell ya!
Tell him Jafar, he is wrong because -ALL- every human being on earth must bow down to Allah and the majesty of Islam , isnt that right?
