#Israel #Hamas #Gaza
Why don’t the Palestinian people expel Hamas from their land? Why do they allow these terrorist organizations to rule them! They need to leave the Gaza strip it needs to stay abandoned
All those soldiers will go into Gaza will be dead
I car care alya… my rent high high
💪💪💪🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️❤️❤️
Time to clean the land
God is with u
Israel 🇮🇱
It’s called genocide…
Russia are way more human than Israel, if Russia attacks like Israel did, they would had win long ago
Israel is the terrorist was 75 years
You have all been spoon fed ignorance
so why is no one talking about the crimes Israel has committed against Palestine for decades very odd ? smh
Hamas needs to be gone for good no matter what. Theyvare terrorists. God will guide Israel.
Wow where did hamas get all the wepons???????
We support Ukraine in protecting their land against Russian occupation but here we are supporting Israel keeping Palestinians locked up in a bordered prison? The young generation will not comply with this false narrative anymore.
I only care for the innocent on both sides that’s dying
No more war & no more pro-war propaganda push by media conglomerates.
Love their choice of words to try to make israel the bad guy for even defending themselves… this has escalated beyond terrorism, this is an elected government invading another governments territory, rapeing and taking hostages and wholesale slaughter.
Why are all the wars in the last hundred years about Jews?
Hundred years? Brother, look up the Jewish-Roman wars. The wars around jews haven’t stopped for 2000 years. Buckle up for some history. It’s a mix of social evolution, differences in religion, and an easy scapegoat. After the split between Judaism and early christianity, there were some stark theological differences that began to sow contempt towards one another. This was not helped by the death of Jesus, which was used by Christinaity to hold Jews collectively responsible. Jews, often being in the minority in the societies they inhabited, were ostracized from various roles in society that limited their economic mobility and ability to own land. This led to isolation that fostered a spirit of cooperation among Jews – they had to buy and spend amongst each other to access similar opportunities as the gentiles. This led to the rise of Jewish money lending – without much economic opportunity, Jews amassed wealth and power by charging interest on loans given to gentiles, which is a sin according to Christianity. And Jews getting rich off of the interest they charge to gentiles was not a good look, even if it was a position they were relegated to out of necessity. This evolved to a point where Jews were viewed with skepticism because of their lending practices and autonomous nature. As history as shown, whenever things go south, it’s easy to blame the minority group getting rich from the interest of your loans – even if Jews are never actually the cause of the turmoil. Jews were expelled from different lands very many times over history, which kind of necessitated a homeland. This evolved into the zionism movement, which picked up steam in the late 1800s after the pogroms in the Russian Empire. This kickstarted the slow-but-sure migration of Jews to Palestine. As for the past 100 years, the Zionist-led signing of the balfour declaration during world war 1 was meant to rally Jewish support for the allies by announcing support of the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. It was intended to be a peaceful, negotiated process where Jews and Palestinians could coexist. After World War 1 though, the league of nations allowed Britain to govern over Palestine, which is when the balfour declaration was incorporated. This was not something that Palestinians were told would happen, so it was received as a betrayal and met with fierce opposition. Mostly middle-class Jews migrated to Palestine prior to World War 2. It wasn’t until the holocaust and afterwards that the most significant influx of jewish immigration occurred, and this brought many powerful people. Professionals, intellectuals, established businesspeople. This was also when Israel was declared a nation, which resulted in the Arab-Israeli war. A two-state solution was proposed but not accepted by Palestine. As much as it isn’t a good look to displace people, it also isn’t a good look to murder people when they’re refugees escaping a holocaust. The war displaced even more palestinians and caused more contempt towards Israel, which has not ended. Palestine could accept the two state solution and end their own suffering, but they’d rather die on their feet than live on their knees, so bodies will contibue to pile up. So yeah, that’s why all the wars in the last hundred years are about Jews.
So hasmas are planning to use the Palestinian people as human sheilds too? Booty traps, tunnels and densely populated with civilians?
Israel has publicly stated tjeybare committing war crimes, by saying they will cut off all water, electricity, and starve over 2 million people in Gaza, the worlds largest open air prison. As atrocious and heinous as hamas recent actiims were, the true animals are the israeli forces. They have been assaulting palestinians in the most brutal and inhumane ways for over 2 decades!
Maybe Palestine should have accepted the two state solution, perhaps now they will have no state. History is written by the victors.
@Josh IMaybe Israel should have been serious about the peace talks and stopped building ILLEGAL settlements ?!
Why Americans government help Palestinian victims peoples???!!!
What is going on “behind the scenes”?
As Americans we should be worried. 1st with the border WIDE open for the past almost 3 yrs who knows who is here. 2nd we have depleted our weapons stockpile by sending them to Ukraine (which we should NOT be doing. 3rd with all that China knows this and you better believe they will be thinking about attacking Taiwan cause we are weak. To top it off we dont have the leadership we nees to handle these issues
This’s the first more than thousand of jewish people killed and seems like evrybody is angry including me but three four years ago fifteen hundred palestinias killed no body cared the media was completely silent. Life is life no matter what ethnicity. But this Israeli administration is always hard to palestinias. Sorry for the people who lost their loved onece.😊
Look at all those American tax payer funded weapons on both sides 😍
70%of Gazans were born into that concentration camp, half of which are children. Israel is a rogue apartheid regime that has been ILLEGALY occupying/annexing Palestine for over half a century via US vetoes and worldwide propagated complacency. This is not “war”, it’s prisoners uprising against their captors…
Now people are starting to understand why Israel treats Palestinians the way they do, they have no other choice.
We All should Remember when Hitler killed 6 million Jews, Abused
Jews lady Palestinian gave them shelter. Hitler kick out Jews from
Germany 🇩🇪& Britain 🇬🇧 did not allowed them to settlement to the country. Arab Palestinian peoples gave them land. Now the Jews occupy their lands. Did not let them
Pray at Al-Aksa Masajid. Abusive innocent peoples decayed after decayed. Kick out widow , lady, kids
From their land.
What king David / Prophet David/ Prophet Daud( AS) teach them?????!!!!
Stop occupational of Palestine ✋✋✋
Fact: Israel is an illegal right wing nationalist apartheid colony within Palestine. You are all on the wrong side of history. Russia is Ukraines aggressor and Israel is the Palestinian’s aggressor. You are all swallowing the apartheid Zionist pill. Despite the horrible events Israel is the invader and for none of you to not see the similarities between the struggles of the Palestinians and Ukrainians then this family will never vote again. The world is shallow and all of you will never know it. #AmericansCursedThemselvesForSupportingZionsits
The USA has to be very very careful. It will take 1 russian/iranian anti ship missile to sink a carrier and its empire is over and ww3 starts.
If i was the USA’s enemies, thats what id be worling on. Hitting a US carrier with an AS missile
Biden is a ducking joke
Note: Shame on all of you for supporting Ukraine and not the Palestinians. Israel is a Right Wing Nationalist Apartheid Zionist colony illegally positioned within Palestine. You people who gave into this Zionist BS have truly cursed yourselves. Your gods will see to that. You are all guilty of killing millions by not wearing a paper mask and getting your vacation during a global pandemic and now you are all right wing Zionist condoning the killing of Palestinians while taking of their lands… #YouAreAllCursed
what is the end goal here for israeli? drive everyone out of gaza and add Gaza to its map?
They will never dare and they will never try ground attack.. they have been saying that for the last hundred years.. if they have to come to gaza ground attack then they have say their last words to their families because everyone from Hamas is willing to die for cause and willing to go meet his god.
You don’t have to occupy something, that will no longer exist! 🇺🇸🇮🇱
Keep the US out of this J&w.
Fick isarie fick you
“hamas is holding 150 hostages” – israel is holding over 2 mln of hostages.
Tabloid
When Biden gives a warning saying be careful it’s like a child saying touch my sippy cup
I thought the paragliding incident was a week before the music festival?
The Devil is roaming and he rules the Earth . This is why GOD will not forgive him. This is pure Evil.. Good vs. Evil… God bless the innocent victims and protect them from ALL Evil..
WHY is this crap STILL happening??? I learnt about the Middle East being at war over 55 years ago, AND THEY ARE STILL KILLING EACH OTHER…… Nothing has changed, and it probably never will… They need to grow up and get over it, but they won’t… Pretty sad.
Pls come in ASAP
Why wait..

God bless our world 🌎!
The God of Destruction needs to purge this world.
Hamas doesn’t have a military.
I have flatly refused to listen to this imposter speak unless I need a good laugh. What a global disgrace!
Ground offensive?? I think you mean genocide.
Please remove civilian from this dangerous places what did they do .
I’m assuming they said “Gaza” is the world’s largest prison. Because if you’re born there, or went there, you’re not getting out.
I had the privilege of visiting Israel in 2015 and I will tell you this. The avg American has no clue as to what is going on there.
Okay and
Pretty sure Hezbolla will join the war if Israeli troops get held up in Gaza.
All lies
It’s not the most densely populated
I knows well about this hamass this group their familly had lost lives last war they came only the revenges they thouht that they are dead .
??
IDF, i hope for your success. We must stop these terrorists.
Why are the journalists not asking the people of Gaza, where are the Hamas militants and why they don’t condemn them like civilised people should do?
Palestinians will regret abiding hamas for taking over of they’re government
This is exactly how texas should be handling mexico
Jesus is love
Israel means business this time
Zionism is a terrorist organization that has occupied the land of Palestine since 1948✌️
Well I guess the element of surprise doesn’t apply here.
This is the United States in 24′
I guess…at least animals have a purpose in life ….but what purpose in life do you have when you’re neither animal or human. Then you’re just hateful evil.
