LONG LIVE PALESTINE
FREE FREE PALESTINE
TOO MANY CHILDREN HAVE DIED
WHO DID THEY HARM
ZIONISTS ARE KILLING PEOPLE
WHO ARE THIRSTY HUNGRY HAVE NO MEDICINES
OPERATIONS ARE BEING DONE WITHOUT ANESTHESIA 😢
no, you don’t have to start with the attack from Hamas, you have to start with Israel, attacking and occupate palestinian land.
What you mean not deliberately. Isreal has bomb so many other hospitals during the last few days, since the begining of all this.
I think Israel and Saudi will not come closer. that’s the lack of westerners to read the middle east and the Russian and chinese
Destroying Hamas military capability in one of the most densely populated Gaza without collosol collateral damage is a mindless strategy.
Hamas’s boss lives in Dubai.
Israel & the US empire are the biggest threat to world peace!!!
Solidarity with the Palestinians against this genocide. ☭
How can the world support an OCCUPATION that too such brutal evil and blood thirsty?? Impossible to believe that this could be allowed after all promises to prevent it when Holocaust happen? What will stop evil brutal war machine Israel, another wirld war???
The West is morally bankrupt. Blair killed a million Iraqis and then blamed it on faulty information. The people in the south now realize the futility of subscribing to so called western values. When the West engages in terror then it’s collateral damage. Well no more it seems. The West has suffered hugely in global influence. Hamas is not the equivalent of ISIS. That’s an aberration. Hamas is a political organization. You may not like their non sterile approach but then it’s not for you to determine how their resistance should be packaged. The collective west stood by and allowed the people of Gaza to be starved. That’s unconscionable. Saudi Arabia should ask the Iranians to share their nuclear technology. After this war, the world will be a very different place I suspect.
All the people of isreal are from army except babies
Whatever, Israel must win against terrorism. Uk minister have no right to talk such thing in such situation.
Israel must win against terrorism… at any cost? Even killing over 2 million people? Israel is now paying the price of decades of apartheid. Sadly, they chose this path from the beginning. They were provoked, bu they should have tried to create peaceful co-existence. Now this can cost them a lot–in terms of human lives, reputation, even the future of their state. I feel for them, as I do for the Palestinians. But Israel had the upper hand for decades, and they abused this power. Even in the US there are many voices recognizing that Israel must change its approach.
Shut up Nonsense. Whole britain ruled many countries in world in past & divided people. Don’t talk about humanity.
USA shame on your for Genocide helps
That decision will be made by the people of Israel. It’s not the time to talk about it. Let Israelis decide what to do at war or in peace times. Get out of the way. If you want to support, fine. If you don’t, shut up and do your own bisness!
He’s and absolute war criminal
Isreal should be flattened because of the crimes they have put on palastinians.
They act just like naz is
This gentleman seems to be out of senses or may be mentally ill person or otherwise a biased person
Watch clip after clip after clip of Israeli officials discussing ethnic cleansing, then the clip of the priest in Gaza saying he was warned for 3 days to evacuate that exact hospital before the blast, then watch the clip of the audio analysis showing the munition coming from East to West, then make your own judgement on blame.
Transformation of Hamas to an ISIS like organization is rather logical. Numbers of Hamas fighters somehow slipped through the Gaza “containment” to surface in Syria fighting against al-Assad! Assad is an Iranian ally. Who transported them there, trained, armed and coordinated or commanded them in the war there? How did they get home and what did they take home with them? Who was supporting the opponents of Al-Assad, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, UAE and Qatar. Iran will obviously applaude and support anyone opposed to Israel, but they don’t forget easily and Syria is fresh in their minds. In other words they don’t mind Hamas’ “lawn being mowed” and unrestrained Israeli response gives them opportunity to score brownie/correctness points in the international arena.
One of the few CONservatives who is a decent human being……how extraordinary.
Malcolm Rifkind is Jewish.Just as many Jewish are decent people as are arrogant invaders and murderers and oppressors.Never…EVER …forget this.
💯👍
He should have been the Prime Minister but he does not have a Scumbag gene in his body which is/was a great disability.
It’s not a grievance, it’s the truth. Enemies enemy is my friend does not work. Who is really holding up the aid?
Irony is US and Israel never allow independent investigation like ICC.
Did Israel allow this to happen to take over the land from the Palestinians.
He should stay in office. It’s not fair to have him do all the dirty work of delivering more land and getting rid of the pesky Palestinians and then kick him out. He earned a lifetime of service.
Living in occupied lands of Palestine how are you not politicly involved?
Netan yahoo footing us 😮 America is going to give 100 billion dollars to Israel, similarly Rishi Sunak of UK came yesterday with millions of dollars, Nrtan Yahoo got millions of Euros from the European Union, Germany also gave millions of dollars 😮 America giving arms and amunation to Netan yahoo, he will sell it later he will earn money by selling the ammunition etc. Similarly, Palestine is also getting a lot of donations. A little bit of money has been paid to Hamas by NetanYahoo, that is, all three parties have earned by suppressing it. Now think about what Hamas has done till now. No top solider of hamas killed by Israel died yet 😮 While not only Israel, the whole world knows that Ismail Haniya is living in Qatar 😮 Killing Haniya is equivalent to killing mosquitoes for Mossad 😅 Netan Yahoo’s dominance has been restored in Israel 😅
The Israeli govt has bombed 20 hospitals and today bombed one of the oldest surviving churches in the world, dating to 407 AD. Anybody who thinks this was all an accident like this host is a useful idiot for the genocidal Israeli regime.
Another israeli pawn, hell fodder
When someone elect a representative, then he or she should also take responsibility for the actions of the one representing them. The politicians represent Israelis and pay taxes to enhance their wR activity..
It is unfair to force gazan to bear the brunt of hamas and make Israelis innocent for the attack of idf on gaza
The arrogant conceded ego maniac Netanyahu will never realize and accept responsibility for the role his policies of oppression and suppression of the Palestinians causing this mess – if he is removed, it will take thinking Israelis to remove him and his.
Mahatma Gandhi says that palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs… Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.
India supports Israel.. against Palestine.
But where else can they go? America is for Americans, Canada is for Canada, Europe is for Europeans, etc. Which land is empty and not owned by any race?
@ramtom9882 they got they place(land) there in Palestine 🇵🇸 just the world organisation to aloud them to have they border they proper governmant state army up to atomic bombs as israelis have then you will see they are week up to today ore are more human than zionist israhellis of Hitler.
All world and all Arab world will help them be more beauty thon dubai ore more beauty than all places in our planet earth
Mad war must end. Innocent people are suffering and paying the price.
Crimes were committed by Hitler during WW2 but now Jews and Arabs are up against one another?
Arabs didn’t put the Jews in those concentration camps!
What a tragedy.
Funny how whole Palestine is responsible for Hamas but for Israel only Netanyahu is accountable.
Knew that CNBC would be distracting you from correctness or they would not ‘produce’ this media
If I am not mistaken (I stand to be corrected), the Jews and the Arabs are children of Abraham …. right?
According to the holy books (like the Bible or Quran) and the google search, it was stated that Abraham’s had a first born Ishmael (Ismael) and second born Isaac (Ishac). From the offspring of Ishmael came only one prophet, “Mohammad,” and from the progeny of Isaac came many prophets, including Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus and others (peace be upon them all).
IMO, maybe we can consider this military conflict in Palestine as a civil war (between the children of Abraham) because, after WWII, the British irresponsibly left Palestine without granting independence to the Arab & Jewish Palestinians living under its colonial rule (whereas elsewhere, British had deemed fit and proper to grant independence to the people in India, Malaya etc…)
At this moment, in order to save the lives of the Palestinian civilians (Arab as well as Jewish), trapped in this life-threatening situation, there should be an immediate deescalation of tension and a ceasefire … and I hope any outstanding issues should be settled by peaceful means.
If the West care so much about this zionist state maybe they should take back their european jewish immigrants who they persecuted – It was nothing to do with the arabs – this was the europeans answer to the ‘jewish solution’ – and give the palestinians their rightful land back! Problem is the West don’t want these fanatical nutters in their countries either!!!
I’m sorry but I don’t agree with you that what Hamas did is inexcusable, the perfect excuse was given by yourselves by sleeping for 70 years on the Palestinian issue.
So the Hamas attack is horrific and barbaric but israel blowing up babies, women and grandmothers is not horrific or barbaric even when it twice the casualties
Yup, he needs to be locked up.
How can a people who experienced genocide commit genocide?? Humans never learn from history 😢
And… All the so-called Civilized countries are in with this injustice
Because history is cyclical.
The Arab hardliners were already heard at the UN. POTUS Biden’s expressed mission was to release the American and other hostages, facilitate release of UN humanitarian aid. He requested $105 B from the US Congress, for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the US borders, which is difficult when domestic requirements are too high.
How will he ask Americans to sacrifice?
Jimmy Carter, former US President’s book ** Palestine Peace Not Apartheid **.
❤❤Imagine the US being gradually colonized by the Mexicans, and then, the Mexicans kick them out of the US…..🙄😕 what happens to Palestinians is what jews went through in Germany, WW2. Copy paste. Weird to do the same to others as what you said was unjustly done to you….
Really good interview, I wonder how many are actually listening, though.
I am pretty sure the hospital bombing was caused by Israel. They are the ones doing all the non stop bombing and then blame others for doing wrong doings.Their purpose is to wipe out Palestine people. Story about Hamas attack is also far fetched too i.e slaughtering and beheading of babies, especially since Hamas security system is extremely advanced and sophisticated.
Don’t agree with everything he said but some very sensible points made by Rifkin. Makes me wonder ultimately why Israel was made on Palestinian land🤦♂️
Israel does not want the independent investigation because Hospital has been bombed by the Israelis. Otherwise they would let the investigation done so that they can provide the evidence. Israelis has done similar lies before to cover up their criminal acts.
Iran is only a threat to Israel as long as Israel mistreats the Palestinians.
I was just listening to an expert on Israel this is what he said: every Israeli citizen men and women is a combatants. which means Hamas did not attack civilians but enemy combatants. he also said that if a war break out the economy will shut down and the country will collapse because every one involved in production will have to carry a gun. he also said that Israel will not last a month if that happens. this is why they need Americans to go die for them they simply do not have enough man power for a prolonged war. ……..
the cowards never take responsibility for their crimes, ones a coward always a coward
Yeah!
THIS sir Malcom had forgotten that the British goverment have played an essential role in creating the state of Israel from 1915 on ward when Palestine was undr British Mandate as they encouraged and support illigal jewish europeon immigration to occupy palestin by force masaca and terrorism. All the weopons arms and money come from British army and goverment and they forced palestinian to flee and live in refugee camps sieged and occupied by Israel. This attack and slaughtering of Palestinians continue untill to day. The Hamas attack on nearby millitary intellignt and ciberian bases and illigal settelements was inavoidable as the Israely abondaned the UN resolutions and the Oslo peace talks since 1994 and the occupied Palestinians in Gaza and westbank which amount to 20% of historical Palestin. The Palestinians were under siege blockade and contiinuos bombing killing destruction and humilation never end. Hamas claim that they target IDF and not civillians and all prisoners are soldiers and officers face to face fighting and defeated the IDF and killed 1600 of them ISIS are terrorists who target civillian in Arab and Moslems countries predominantly and did not target Israel in fact they created by CIA Mosad and British intelligence and trained by Turkey and and supported by money and wepons from KSA and Qatar.
Would anyone be able to answer this question please? Is Israel the Boss of the US and the EU?
Israel is an Apartheid Government. The UKs support of an Apartheid is a mortal sin. Shame on the UK
Stop saying islam jihad there is no such a word …. Stop hypocrisy stop colonial. Palestinians must get their land
Not the Nine o’clock News parody.
The targeted hit was perpetuated by Israel who is responsible for all the targeted attacks on Palestinian State! Beyond a reasonable doubt!
Hamas is a resistance organisation and nothing more. They are trying to destroy the Israel Apartheid State!
Ofcourse they hit it deliberately
There must be long term solution to the crisis. We want to see the end of this conflict for good. Give Qatar something to work on, I genuinely believe they have enough influence and trust by Palestinians to mediate to bring the matter to end
The common denominator in the failure of peace is Israeli government, USA government and Hamas (a creation of Netanyahu).
It’s ISRAEL that needs to feel international pressure!
“The Israelis have a right to defend themselves”said the former foreign secretary. By the way, I am jewish myself. That says it all!
No, both Trump and Biden support him, that means US will help him to keep his position.
The whole fake story about kidnapping children by Russia is all British cooked , one of Britain’s despicable climes to demonize Russia and its leader.
Now British are realizing that , if people in west had no idea about installment of Nazi regime in Ukraine, everyone, literally everyone in the world knows what’s going on in Israel.
But your tricks and lies will not fly , not anymore! Now many in US and in UK too know truth about Kiev regime!
You British are old fools to hope that truth will not come out.
Think about what I said.
And by the way, you are simplistic as it can get. But you are more clever than demented US political class.
He does …that is why he now wants to play the hero to the Israelis and say to the Israelis “ look I will protect you …you need me ; I am the only one good enough “
Holocaus children are making an holocaust of their own. Shame on the criminals.
What is the uk going to do with all the conflict except to blabbering nonsense. UK seems to have forgotten their dire strait in Ww2.😮
The israelis want to kill 2.3 million palestines so they can have more land. They are greedy demons.
He is bias
Benji nut da yahoo thinks himself an Alfa DOG
Typical western defensive British diplomats effort going around
You brought the right British Balfour guy in tony blair image of wmd in Iraq. The channel get A for zionist western agenda no reference to17 years of Gaza blockade. Only his comments on beutiful western supported bibi
He does bring some positive input about efforts of zionist to ignore palestinians. Smart man will be an assets to the palestinians
He is one of few Western diplomat s that can pronoune arabic words very well surprisingly
The hushed tone of anchor adds to the seriousness of the topic. Great job.
Above all palestinians could benefit from having Sir Malcom on their side as a spokesman very well versed
Wise words from a wise man.
If you know Iran execute the October 7th attacks in Israel then why Israel killing innocent civilians in Gaza? Instead attacking Iran?
The great blunder UK did was to rehabilitate the Jews after World War II in the lands of Palestine by evicting them from their ancestor’s land and making them life-long refugees. The UK did an unforgettable and unpardonable heinous and brutal crimes. Adolf Hitler indiscriminately and brutally butchered innocent Jews in Germany and other parts of Europe during World War II. The left over Jews were rehabilitated in Palestine. After rehabilitation, those Jews appeared to be as Adolf Hitler and ethnically cleansed the unarmed and innocent Palestine people. Thus, the UK is responsible for all the sufferings of Palestine people.
Why is that Palestinian lives is lesser than the Israeli
Why wouldn’t the Israeli military deliberately hit the hospital?
-There was no mention that an IDF rep tweeted then deleted that the hospital was bombed and “terrorists were killed”
-There was no mention that the Director of the hospital received threatening calls from the IDF to evacuate days prior
-There was no mention that the hospital was struck twice by the IDF, also in the days prior
-There was no mention that Israel has bombed Palestinian hospitals and COVID clinics in the past
-There was no mention that other Palestinian hospitals are getting the same calls, including the Red Crescent Hospital
-There was no mention of testimonies by Palestinians on the ground, including medical professionals, who identified the bomb simply by the sound of the way it struck the building, given they are subjected to the barrage of bombs
Let’s cut it off with the nonsense. The world is wide awake!
There was No Israel & Hamaa in 1947,No occupation, no freedom Struggles . It Started in 1948 because of illegal Occupation & Creation of ILLEGAL state of Israel,Stop occupation & Palestinian Freedom fight will Stop too.
Its deliberate it’s the Israelis period
Setback and humiliations as well.
The purpose of his visit was to support Israel, and he mentioned that very clearly. So, since he came support for Israel to destroy Gaza, what was the point of Bidden to see Arab president?
Butcha incident is the same thing that the Americans cooking up
Damn cowards
Free Scotland free Northern Ireland, free Hawaii, .. free Okinawa Ryukyu,, .
… and vice versa with Hamas, don’t you think?
Uou people will never change. Always blame the oppressed, and jot the oppressors. So peace will wil not happen
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️
Hamas accidentally hit the hospital car park
There is no Hamas or any armed resistance in the West bank but thousands of Palestinians have been killed by the Israelis over the years. The immoral corrupt hypocritical Western goverments are silent. Human rights stops in Palestine for decades.
