#IsraelHamasWar #Hostage #American
💙💙💙💙💙
I guess this fully justifies the +20 000 dead Palestinians already.
NBC news really? So you are not going to mention that Israeli bombings took the lives of two other hostages?
💙💯💯🙏🏻
When they grow up, what do you think they will do to avenge the murder of their relatives . These Palestinians and Hamas supporters , you beware. Hate begets hate. One of you will experience the same thing that happened to their families. .
❤❤❤
There are no words😢❤❤❤❤

Everyday and every single night I pray for the hostages Mt heart physically aches for them. Sending love from Assyrian Christians in America standing with Israel
do you also pray for the murdered children of Gaza? or just the white kids?
what’s that supposed to mean?? ‘what does colour have to do with it…. Get real & realize that HAMAS is a terrorist org. Most Jewish people are of all colours, there are Jews in all countries such as Africa not just Israel.@@MJW173
@@MJW173 The difference is that Hamas targeted civilians : they killed and abducted children and babies as part of their barbaric plan.
The children died in Gaza are dead because Hamas started this war and hide behind civilians.
Why is it so rare to talk about the hostages?! Returning them could end this war, but absolutely no on except Israel is demanding that from Hamas.
Fr. It may be because they are Jews. Unfortunately, people don’t like us Jews.
Not genuine American citizens and of no concern to the U.S.
WHAT?
That’s what I keep thinking. People screaming cease fire. Why not release the hostages and cease fire. They go hand in hand. Doesn’t seem hard to include that sentence while screaming for justice. But somehow it is. And that speaks volumes….
Israel has killed over 20,000 innocent children, some are Israel hostages, they don’t care if they get them back or not, and Biden stands by as would Donald Trump, and allow genocide take place.🇺🇸 Americans for justice
Been away so long, I hardly knew the place
Gee, it’s good to be back home
Leave it ’til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone
I’m back in the U.S.S.R
You don’t know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S
Back in the U.S
Back in the U.S.S.R
Well
The Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia’s always on ..
I pray 🤲 for our hostages to come home in peace with faith 💯 🫶 👏 ✨️ 🙌 🤲
Which country’s hostages?
Tell your Gov. to stop the genocide and that will happen. Why give you the hostages when you will just keep on with your genocide?
@@patbnjthere no hostages in Israel
Don’t takiye us😂
Israel has prisoners from oct 7 who slaughtered children and elderly and r@ped .
To compare those creatures of the devil to the poor Israeli kidnapped is disgusting and makes you a terrorist too
🤮🤮🤮 so much hate and anger in you it’s inhuman
If only Israel had any integrity for me to believe that 😑
shame that you have no integrity
This is why the Middle East is cursed. The world should wash it’s hands of the Middle East. (This includes Israel.) The world should keep focus on creating alternate forms of energy generation, leave the Middle East and close the door behind us.
Such a tragic experience that no child should ever go through. I still do NOT stand with the falsely established israel government.
What new details? NBC News, you are giving details on Avigail that everyone has known for about three months. Misleading titles or labels do not inspire confidence in using you as a source of news. Do keep the hostages from being forgotten, but don’t use them as clickbait or you risk comparison with Hamas, which is using them for propaganda, to manipulate and torment those who care.
Cruel? That isn’t even the right word. There is no word.
idk why but the way you wrote this just now….made me cry even when everything else hadn’t. You’re right. THERE IS NO WORD.
what’s worse these people watch the news see the suffering of the hostages families friends and still won’t release them it’s cruel I even cried thinking what those hostages are enduring there has always been war death through out the centuries yet it doesn’t make it any less horrific
I see you don’t watch real news only this Gov, PR show.
I adive you to see the real news of this world, there are more than 500 children begining with 6 yréars old in captivity in the zionism prison as they considers terrorists without reason or the reason id throwing stones on Occupational, colonial aparthied militant. Have you herard about them. for example a 13 years old boy the settlments shoot him and left bleeding for hours, The zionism militant (who says about themselfs the most honorable army) did not allow the ambulance to take him, when he waked up in the hospital, he was cuffed. then he still in prison no charges, 2 years in a solatory cell, not allow to lawyer or parents to see him. now he is 22 years old.
Well, you are watching too, bot.@@billhaskill6597
Biden and Blinken pressuring israel to reduce military actions. Such pressure should be put on Arab countries and UN which consists of Hamas sympathizers. What a shame that in state departments employees wearing signs and planning demonstration for FP instead of Free Hostages!
“freed by Hamas”??
Freed FROM Hamas. Disgusting
Imagine taking a 4 year old hostage, the religion of peace folks
I try to tell people this but nobody listens Islam is dangerous to all the free world
their prophet married 6 year old what do you expect haha
Narrated `Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for `Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.)
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 6130
In-book reference : Book 78, Hadith 157
I would never called a nation, like Israel, that has a war gad, a peaceful religion. Israel has many more than just the one, they have been working on this for 47 years with the Usa help.
@@PoliceBeUponHimPBUH Wow, that sounds like most European royals and the Usa south.
Why are we not doing more to free the hostages????❤ America were supposed to be the most powerful nation ever. But we can’t get the hostages home?????
We don’t know where they are. Many are held not by Hamas, but by Islamic Jihad and/or private citizens.
Because your not. Every war you start you cry for help from the world. Then you run away and let others fight your battles. You are just feed BS by your Gov., sad.
Many hostages move around a lot by Hamas. Hamas don’t want IDF tracking them if they stay in one place for long periods. So they throw them off by moving to different locations. And many are with private civilians who are supporters or working for Hamas to hold them captive. It’s not that easy as you think!
yes that why we have to accept all of gaza is complicit@@accesstotheredcarpet
Do u know how many 4 years old palastine still missing, or they re not important to you.
Well, they are not less important to a lot of others u probably not important to them.
Would you want Hamas as neighbors ❓️ I don’t
I will always stand with Israel
Shame and disgrace to Hamas ‼️
I don’t want Jewish neighbors. They might declare my property theirs and seize it
then you do not have to occupy, colonis and aparthied their land. stay in your original homeland and do not move to the stolen land.
Not the youngest .. the baby is still in captivity.
Youngest American/ Israeli.
No one talks about the innocent Palestinian children that have been jailed for no wring doing, in the Isreal jails!!! Or how the settlers just come and take thier homes, what about the teenage girl who was trying to retrieve her cat from her roof and got shot because of it.
Compulsive liar
stay on topic, no one talks about the HAMAS terrorists hiding in hospitals & schools and using the children as human shields….do they??
@@janeclayton151what can be done with half of world Jewry now being sheltered by the U.S.?
Yes and why not a free and democratic country like USA support a free and democratic country like Israel. @@patbnj
Can’t handle the truth I see, typical for a Zionist!
Never would have happened with Trump
By backing out of the JCPOA, Trump removed what few restrictions there were on Iran. This empowered Iran, and by the time Trump left office, the threat posed by Iran increased. They increased their involvement in Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon, and increased arms shipments to Hamas. I would say that pretty much encouraged Hamas to begin planning the October 7 attack, and we do know the attack was being planned as early as 2020.
@MFPhoto1 Nice try. Trump was not allowing Iran to sell oil. Joe Biden stopped that, Iran sells oil to Venezuela. Biden stopped American oil workers and buys oil from Venezuela and the money. Iran gets from selling oil is what is sponsoring this terrorism.
Izrahell is the army base for the USA therefore the defending it against the native people the Palestinians. read the real history and how the British mandate bring Zionizn under the name of jews to steal the land of its people same what was happened against the Indio-american
🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱
Sickening to see the two flags juxtaposed
.🇨🇦❣🇮🇱❣🇬🇷❣ I’m from Canada & my husband from Greece…We stand with Israel❣@@patbnj
Hamas claims they are “guests” I stand 100% with Israel and the IDF
Not guests. Shawarma
If the hostages are guests then Hamas are very poor hosts.
What about the 2 dead ones
Insane these guys have such a legacy of terrorism, From the Munich massacre, to the Entebbe hijacking of the plane with Israelis, now this. Don’t they understand they won’t further their goals by doing these inhumane acts?
Watch how many Israelis head for the exits now that the U.S. has waived visa requirements for the other half of world Jewry
She is not an American. She is an Israeli
Did they carry U.S. passports only because it’s easier to obtain visas elsewhere? What makes them loyal American citizens?
There are many citizens from several countries that were attending the Nova musical festival, which is held once a year in Israel and attracts people from all over the world, there are also those with dual citizenships..born in the USA or Canada or other countries, move to Israel and become dual citizens, or israelis who moved to the USA or other countries (landed immigrants) and obtained dual citizenship and were back visiting their familes during this sacred holiday. 138 of the hostages have foreign passports, including 54 Thais, 15 Argentinians, 12 Germans, 12 Americans, six French, and six Russians. There is also one Chinese hostage, one Sri Lankan, two from Tanzania, and two from the Philippines.
@@achatsgpr3294The second passports would suggest, at least for me, that either the holders are at least dishonest or disloyal citizens of the U.S. or the other countries you mention. They appear to be unable to shake the age-old habit of wandering. While on the subject, I believe that any American who shuns voluntary service in the U.S. military and joins the IDF instead should be stripped of U.S. citizenship. Parents who raise disloyal citizens should be placed on an FBI watch list.
@@patbnj United States has granted dual citizenship since the days of Lafayette. Or are you upset that American Jews are joining the IDF? Look at the American veterans that answered Ukraine’s call for arms. Are they responding to a “wandering habit”? . Before Pearl Harbor, about a thousand young Americans joined the British and Canadian armed forces. Are you calling them traitors?
@@MalenaLannister The Marquis de La Fayette fought in the American War of Independence as a Frenchman. He was made an honorary U.S. citizen after the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Only Israelis are permitted to serve in the IDF, and so American Jews who joined the IDF had to take Israeli citizenship. Is there any further proof needed as to which country commands their allegiance? No American or Canadian citizen was required to become a citizen of any European allied country in WWII, nor is any foreign national who decides to fight with the Ukrainian military now.
@@patbnj You got it a bit muddled, but thanks for forcing me to research. The “You have to be an Israeli citizen” clause only applies to the draft. Israel has always accepted foreign Jews in their armies requiring no citizenship. Hey, during their Independence war, the first Israeli army accepted a couple of no-Jews (including a Navaho native). It’s the reason why the South African government is threatening their citizens with prosecution once they return from their volunteering in the IDF. And by the way, why would you think Israel and the USA, that have always shared close ties, would be enemies?
Can the posters come down now?
No
@@Protect_IsraelMaybe a permanent memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., a national day of mourning and images on postage stamps?
@@patbnj sounds right to me
@@Protect_IsraelJust one problem: the U.S. isn’t part of the Jewish ancestral homeland.
@@patbnj there is a US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC 100 Raoul Wallenberg Place SW
I thought they announced the baby being dead. I’m glad he’s not.
Hamas is not just an Israeli problem. They have made it clear that after Israel, they will target the rest of the world. Fortunately, Israel is making sure Hamas in the future will be a threat to no one.
awful…
Clickbait title. There is no new info
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get those babies back NOW!😢😢😢😢
If hamas truly wanted a cease fire, they would return all hostages! Without doing this, they prove this is a game to them to garner sympathy!!
The US and Israel said they would continue the genocide even if the hostages are returned. Why return them?
Genocide Hamas??? Hamas an organization. How can you genocide an organization?
13000 children murd*red by IDF…. pre mature babies left out without incubators rotting … we will never forget… #stopthegenocide. ##freepalestine 🇵🇸 …. we stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 humans stand with Palestine , and devil stand with Israhell…..
Here’s the call for genocide. Read the Hamas Charter 2nd paragraph and article 7 last paragraph https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp The elected government of Hamas is responsible for the people in Gaza. The elected government of Israel is responsible for the people of Israel. PERIOD. Hamas surrenders and releases hostages and it’s over, that simple.
did someone fall asleep in nbc editing room? nbc is hamas supporter. why post anything that even remotely says any kind of truth about the horrors of these hostages and israel?
In allen snackbar countries she’s old enough to marry…and people wonder why we call them bearded animals. 1:24
Terrible
Hamas is evil.
Hey NBC do a story on how much the Red Cross has done for these hostages, how much the UN has done for these hostages and how many Gaza civilians actually took place in kidnappings and sold hostages to Hamas and how much money in aid the US has given to Gaza aka Hamas // real stories
So sad. Hope the hostages come back safe
Thank you for helping that little girl from that horrible day. What about the 10,000 kids killed by Israel?
Were those kids kidnapped out of their homes and dragged across international borders to be held indefinitely as part of a terror attack? No. All the Palestinian children who have died weren’t allowed to leave their homes when their homes were announced as targets. A majority of these children are not 4 and a chunk were 14 or 16 or 17 and were brought into the ranks by Hamas to fight an unwinnable war. Maybe adjust your numbers, Bill. Or know what you’re talking about. I don’t think that’s possible, though.
Ask that question to HAMAS!!
Here we go with the whataboutism again. If people like you were around 80 years ago we could have lost World War II. Over a half million German civilians were killed in American and British bombing raids. That’s just a consequence of modern warfare. Hamas started the war. How was Israel supposed to respond? Do nothing until Hamas launched the next atrocity which they said they will do again and again.
Cant trust Hamas numbers
Yes and horrible people are pro Hamas and they not say anything about the horror and kidnaped people ….
Horrific
😢😢😢 it’s heartbreaking 💔 🙏 🇮🇱
The youngest hostage is the 12-month old baby, Kfir who still has been in captivity. I wonder if he has survived. A baby has fragile health. No one demands this baby to be released!!
Read about the palestinians mother who give birth in prison with cuffed hands and legs, then the baby will be with them for years, not allow to their family to have him.
@@rolasaid1701lol such lies
Stupid Takiye 😂😂😂😂
@@rolasaid1701 Link, please
@@rolasaid1701 the best paliwood story 🤣🤣🤣
@@user-hy2mv1fz3f Read the real history of Palestine before 1948 and about Belford convention, and the false alligation to steal Palestine from its native people. same as it happened to the Indians americans, and not how the holywood present them. Have you seen the danse with the wolf kiven kostner.
There are no two ways to see this confrontation, it is very clear who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. There are no justifications.
Those who support terrorism are anti-Jews. There is no rational justification. The only reason to support what Hamas did is irrational hatred.
Stop resupply the Hamas everyday and we can get them home
The WORLD is suffering because of all this suffering.
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
This is the same type of fear the Palestinian people have been living with everyday for decades. I hope they can now understand that its not ok to do that to other people. That they can find an agreement and live peacefully next to one another like so many of us do.
Когда израильтяне поступали так с теми, кто живет в газе?
Why didn’t you report on how that little baby was treated by Hamas? You cowards!!!
Umm, they killed her parents in front of her eyes. How do you think they treated her?
I pray the baby and the 4 year old will be free and are alive . Im praying.
Всех не забудьте
😢😢😢💔💔💔
😢..thank God she’s released..what about that baby 😒
So now they have recollect all the memory after south Africa sue israel for genocide??
😢
💛💔🧡💔💛💔🧡
Abigail is an Israeli little girl. She is not an American. So she has an American passport by biocratic means..she was born and grows up Jewish Israeli. None of the 240 hostages were kidnapped fir being Americans but rather Israelis ( jews and arabs and foreign workers) . Americans should remember 9/11 Europeans should remember London London Paris Madrid etc etc etc.
American citizenship doesn’t require one to live in America and vice versa – not all living in America are citizens.
Si pudieran, traducir en español si para Latinoamérica, el pueblo cristiano, amamos a Israel, creemos en el Dios d Abrahám Isaac y Jacob , El Dios de la creación! Aleluya!!! El nos dará la victoria!!!!
What kind of barbaric monsters abduct children and babies?!
Hamas is just pure evil and they are much worst than Isis.
And our two brain cell no good for nothing president could care less
Praying for the Bibas family 🙏🙏
But unfortunately, I don’t think the two babies are alive 😭
How anyone could support Hamas or Palestine is beyond me. They are barbaric.
Masterful mass brainwashing.
Can you please bring some stories about some Palestinians Babies, there are more then 7000 children in Gaza who had been injuried, dead still under rubbel. May be these babies are not ahuman or they are terrorists
Why do you expect a video about Jewish babies to also talk about Arab babies? Do Arab videos mention the Jewish babies? Are Jewish babies not human to Arab people?
Why isn’t the world listening when the released hostages say that they were held hostage with Palestinian families? Regular civilian families. Please take note world.
Yeah, they are all into it together, obviously.
All my comments get removed and I support Israel!
I find that when I mention that my comments are being removed, they let my comments come!
Horrible abuse and justified by what? Their Religion !
Horrifying and heartbreaking 💔😭💔
Freed FROM Hamas, not BY, or am I wrong?
Sending love ❤ and prayers💙🇦🇷 for peace for Israel 💙🇦🇷🇦🇺
Yet noone understands Israeli’s & likely don’t care about the hostages now with what’s happening in Gaza:(
It’s beyond horrific that these children and the rest of the hostages are still being held by the terrorist monsters. All the useful idiots chanting “Free Palestine”, what about these hostages? Shouldn’t they be freed? Why isn’t the world screaming for their release???
🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱
Horrifying what human beings are capable of. I’m astonished that human beings can be so cruel. Where’s humanity gone?
Hamas are not human beings, they are savages
They need to come out now!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praying…
O.K. just have to ask, did any Hamas Or Gazan resident ever say why they attacked Israel?
I think all residents of Gaza need to seriously move out, evacuate Gaza and return to their ethnic country of origin. No Israel is named because it is for Israel that is all only those Israel chooses to allow in and that is all.
Hamas is and always was a PLO organization nothing more, they are still attacking people that choose to live differently than they do just like back in U.S.A. when the were known for hijacking airplanes to convince U.S. to play Israel to free captured PLO members by the IDF.
Even if this conflict/policing action were to end today Hamas/PLO would recoup and strike again they will not stop until Israel and all Israelis are dead, this is proven by attacks on Jewish civilians across the globe.
If they want to live and live in peace, leave just leave other countries will allow them in just not the Hamas followers take all the children and families and leave to many Countries are
upset about the conflict and want Israel to stop so they should accept the Gazans. there is a lot of room in Yemen, Sai Ni, Iran, Lebanon, way more un used space in those countries than Israel.
If Gaza people refuse to leave it is because they want the fight to continue.
Marana’tha 🙌🏻
I believe There would not still be hostages if Trump were president. It may not have happened at all. Weakness seen in the current president affects the decisions of people like these terrorist
Please pray for their safe return.
Thank you God, Holy Mother, and Jesus she’s safe now
Praying for Kfir, praying for Ariel, praying for Shiri and Yarden
Sending all these families my strength and love
victim blaming…. so sad….. bring them home!
This is a terrible tragedy, there are also 10,000 innocent Palestinian children and babies dead, thousands more scarred for life. A ceasefire would allow for these hostages to be released. The hostages are also at great risk from the constant bombing.
I pray for the safe return of all hostages in Jesus name I pray 🙏🙏🙏

Where are these hostages countries fighting for their release? I can’t believe their governments are silent? 🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🙏🏻
Why doesnt america care about their people hidden in Gaza biden is a disgrace
They call her American but she never lived here. Her aunt is in the uS and is the rich Democrat who bought ALL Hunter Bidens paintings at the show! Bizarre world
Well you don’t really have to actually live in America to be an American, do you? You’re American if you have an American citizenship and, hey, it’s a globalized world, people live all over. On the other hand, America has millions of illegal aliens living in America and they aren’t citizens.
Also, what does Abigail’s aunt supporting Democrats has to do with anything? Did Abigail deserve to be kidnapped and witness her parents murder because of that? What a bizarre way of thinking.
Hamas said the Bribas family were were killed in IDF bombings so why does Israel still count them all as alive?
Hamas told lies like these before. They claimed an elderly hostage was killed and later she was released.
