What a great speech. Loved this guy for decades. Peace is the only way we will survive. We are all one family. Humanity.

Damn. That's some heavy material there. The more I listen to him talk, the more I want to hear. That's a damn rare trait these days. Makes you want to be a better person.

“Do you realize how insane what you just said was??” Henry’s not the kinda guy who gets surprised that easily... can’t imagine what it was like to be talking to that soldier.

ROLLINS is larger than life. He's one of the few popular persons in the world who actually have INTEGRITY. That's a rare good nowadays.

Henry is the man. Solid human right there.

Bravo Henry Rollins!

someone once said "anger is the first step to courage" mr rollins inspires me

Rollins is right, truer words have never been spoken!

Henry Rollins is a true artist. What a speach.

Henry's the kind of guy who can do that for any crowd. He's got that talent.

I've had the pleasure of meeting him on two occasions and he is even nicer and more down-to-earth than you could ever hope for. He takes the time to give everyone a few minutes to talk with him so if you ever get the chance to go to one of his talking shows, do it and hang by the bus after the show. (not before the show, he hates that) you'll have a good time.

Only Henry Rollins could tell an entire audience of Israelis to stop killing Arabs and receive a standing ovation for it.

i wasnt really expecting much but wow badass

I loved Rollins before and I knew about his USO involvement, but this has given me a whole new respect for him.

At a prior job, an older couple came in to have their passport pictures taken. Very friendly, they were. I took care of them, and right after, a younger couple came in for the same thing with their baby. Very friendly as well. Once I was done taking care of them, the older couple started idle chit chat with the younger couple taking about how cute their baby is. As this was going on for a few minutes, both couples were switching between English, Hebrew, and Arabic. What I was able to pick up with the spurts of English was this. Both couples either lived in or near Gaza and saw some shit. Both couples had fled to the US to escape all that. The older couple was Israeli. The younger couple was Palestinian. Before I knew it, both couples were in tears hugging each other and apologizing for the shit their respective people did to the other. They exchanged phone numbers and made arrangements to have dinner together. It was a very heartwarming yet sombering experience. Considering how the death and destructions have drastically escalated recently, would take a miracle for something like that to happen on a larger scale.

Henry walks it, 100%. Rollins for pres.

Brilliant as always, Henry. I've never heard anyone say it so well

I went to this show and it was awesome. Words cannot describe how awesome it was.

hes the man.

An absolute legend of a man.

OMG this man. It would be so aweomse if he was my dad. He's my Dali Lama.

He's freakin awesome!

Hank always tells it like it is. I take my hat off to the man.

It is so humbling to impossible to thank them

Henry Rollins is a personal hero of mine because of what he does with the USO. I've been out of the military for five years, and I was only able to meet Daniel Stern through the USO when we were leaving Sandland in '03. He was nice and everything, but I would love to meet Rollins one day.

My own dad had to process the paperwork for soldiers that were killed in Vietnam. This was the paperwork that the families didn’t get: the graphic descriptions of how they were killed, if they could determine it. Sounds something like what Henry saw when he visited those vets.

Henry Rollins has huge brass ones because of the ending. He is in Israel preaching compassion, my man, what gumption.

He told a story like this at the Rave in Milwaukee. Insane. Henry is awesome.

Henry such a good person. the more i see his satnd up material the more i like him as human being.the greatest thing i have ever learned from Henry is to live life to the fullest go balls out while your here because you only have this one opportunity.

First, I currently serve in the Army. Second, I really dig Rollins, and I respect his views. There's a right way, and a wrong way to present your case, and to make your arguments. Rollins gets it right, whereas guys like Sean Penn and Michael Moore get it all wrong. Henry deserves thanks for what he does for our guys that didn't come out of all of this in the same shape they started.

This is why I admire Henry. Awesome perspective. Thanks for posting!

wow...just wow. he is amazing

“It’s like trying to take the Hindenberg and put it in your back pocket.” THAT is a goddamn profound statement.

That's exactly what I was going to say. He is an exemplary human being.

That tooks balls. He needs to give that speech on this side of the pond now. HR FTW

Henry is the fucking man.. no one understands people and has such a respect for life as he does

Please keep on keeping on Henry finally saw he never died tight bro tight

This is why I love volunteering! Life is too short. Share your smile.

War is a crime committed by the powerful against the powerless.

brilliant guy! he's my hero!

I love this man soo much. I was in tears. He speaks the truth and I wish he could speak the truth in a more public fashion than he already does. Great man.

It's hard to not make certain things from a hundred years ago not happen over again, but then again a lot of it seems to be indirectly in so many ways.

this guys a great person

Henry Rollins is an awesome human. Thanx for this post...

exactly. anger is a very positive energy. hate, on the other hand is what destroys us.

Hes a legend and i love to hear what he have to say. We all know a 3rdWW its going to come sooner or later on the interest of some rich guys

Yup, 'tis exactly what he does! And he turns his own problems into humor. I saw him speak live about 3 yrs ago - NEVER laughed that hard in my entire life and it was 2.5 SOLID hrs!! Dunno where he gets the stamina to speak that long w/out a break! Anyway, met him aft the show & he was more than just down to earth, he really wanted to KEEP TALKING!!

Henry is calling out the military industrial complex, he has balls

Your emotions are there to help you, including anger!

this dude is awesome, a true rolemodel

It had them riveted Perfect At moments in time you have to have an abstract sense To effect change You must be a formidable force

Thanx for putting it "out there" Henry!!

Henry cares about the soldier on the ground. You only have to look back over history to understand the pain and sacrifice of the ordinary soldier. It's why we have Remembrance Day each year. I was really moved by Henry's stories. He's right, whatever the conflict, the only solution is for citizens to stand up and say "no more". Life is precious.

Astounding. And heartbreaking. Thank you Henry for telling the truth.

he should be remebered and more people in this world should see this

1:24, ONLY Henry could make us laugh at a moment like that!!

that was intense

i totaly agree with you.life sould come first,everything else should be put on the backburner.its all greed and pride and old grudgesIT ALL MAKES ME SO MAD.but its good to know theres still some sane people out there with mature minds.respect to you.

Some day the world will reach a new level and things will improve. I think there will always be the element of negativity in life, but ultimately things will improve. It can be hard for people to care about the rainforests and the polar bears and tigers when they are at war, war distracts people from what matters in life, helping others, helping animals, planting trees, making peace, creativity. We are here to do this, but more often than not, we go the other way.

The best clip I've ever seen.

That was a very brave thing for Henry Rollins to say.

Henry Rollins for President!!!

HELL!!! RESPECT!!!!!

I agree..i feel the same..i am an Australian...I think that was the best talk I've seen him do...much intelligence..humour..and INTEGRITY.

Damn that was well said

Great post.

This is true what the soldiers go through men and women

That was great. Thanks shetakaey.

oh wow, him recalling the soldier's story is pretty impressive! the story, that is

In this bleak hour I wish more people had listened to him

Hear, hear! Rollins is incredible.

Henry Rollins, my hero

"Anger is a Gift" Malcolm x

Best work Henry ever did.

truly a great man

Fuckin' Aye. Viva Henry Rollins!

"Yep thats me. Short, grey and angry." Pahahaha!

Henry Rollins is badass

No anger is a natural emotion, just like joy, fear, love, etc. It's what you do in response to the emotion that matters. Just pretending you don't have an emotion you don't like won't make it go away. There is nothing wrong with anger, espically if you use it for a positive outcome.

I meant "ballsy" as in courageous. Hats of for Henry indeed, precisely for the reason you say.

I wouldn't call him an anarchist really, he definitely supports democracy & the Bill of Rights. But I DO like that he knows how to channel his anger at the right people & in the right direction!!

Dear God! Why isnt this on every major network 24/7?

indeed, walk away, to a farm where you grom your own food, drink your own water, breath clean air, and make your own power Welcome to freedom

It’s sad that more of my friends in high school didn’t see though the bullshit and still joined up. 6 left. One came back. Sorta.

yeah, but the thing is, he actually does good and puts effort into his involvement. Most celebrities just find a way to let everyone know their opinions and make it sound like the solution is obvious.

After the first thing he said about anger and the war, I thought, one time I saw this little HBO special with James Gandolfini interviewing soldiers who survived explosions and shit and only 1 out of 5 of them hinted that the war pissed him off but you knew for some reason he wouldnt outright say it on camera. We need every injured soldier who thinks the war is bullshit on major networks speaking out as often as possible. Because nobody can debate with someone whose been there.

I don't know about a church... Henry's just this guy, you know? But I'll sign on for a 'Henry Rollins for President' ticket!

well put

I think it's great that he is trying to reach out to the younger generations of Israel. These are the people that one day may be the voice of change for the people of Israel. I've been to VA hospitals and I have seen some of the things he talks about. It's a rough deal.

Rock on Mr. Rollins!

wow! ok. wish i could see WHOLE VID

Wow how intense! Wake up people wake up world

Henry's a great comedian too. who knew, right?

Genius, pure genius.

that was great henry write on

@Tsaucci For me, the importance of speakers like henry is encouraging the people who are already trying to change things - to continue. it's very easy to get frustrated around here (because of political factors from within Israel, but also factors from "outside") - and that I'm afraid you don't seem to understand.

@Kalapeno he wasn't trying to tell these people what to do, he was pleading to them to do the right thing

i was there.im lucky im here.

8:50 I'm definitely part of the ''it's right here...''.

Henry is fantastic his eloquence he has both child like abandon and wise twisted cynisism, he's really carrying on where the late bill hicks ended
