Absolutely Anti Isreal and Hamas supporting network!, shame on you!
Here’s a riddle for you: why are Christian’s helping out the same group of people who murdered Jesus, proud of it, and are willing to do it again when He returns?
No one is saying why Hamas is holding hostages Can they talk about what they are demanding for the release of the hostages? and Why haven’t they located where the hostages are being held and go in and rescue them Don’t they have military entail for that kind of issue? They claim to know where Hamas is hiding. they have Pushed the Palestinian citizens to the edge of the ocean. It seems like as far as they can go This entire war is making no sense at all
Fleeing because THEY voted for the suicidal, murderous, genocidal Hamas.
Joe has failed Israel for votes. Shameful!

Hamas has guns. You’re saying that 30,000 hamas members is equivalent to 2 million Palestinians?
@@joshuabarnes7552 they support Hamas. Life is about decisions, and they made some bad ones.
this is sickening 😢
How can that former Israeli suggest a ceasefire is the only way to get the hostages back? The Israelis left Gaza in 2005, and according to everything I have read, four hostages were taken in 2014 and 2015 and are still being held there. That was ten years ago, with a ceasefire. Two of those four are believed to have died.
So no, Ceasefire doesn’t work with Gazans.
What about the thousands of Palestinian hostages held in Israeli gulags without ever being charged with a crime? Why do you think Hamas took hostages in the first place?
@@roostertheastronaut4513hamas took hostages so they could have bargaining power to perpetuate their crimes against israel. They couldnt care less about their own people.
I started using Gazan everywhere i could to distinguish between the 2 million gazans and the 2 million palestinians living in peace in isreal. I’ve been happy to see the usage spread. Not taking credit- others may have realized the same thing about the time I did.
They are raised on a diet of venom and propaganda. They just are not the same as palestinians in Israel any more.
They called it an open air prison for years, let’s show them what that actually looks like:)
such a moral-less comment
They were warned of the consequences if they didn’t leave.
Where are the disabled, elderly, and malnourished children gonna go? The risk of dead children doesn’t matter to you because of consequences?

oct 7th they were cheering like they were winning..
They could released the hostages, just saying
Israel should accept the ceasefire deal. Releasing the hostages does not mean Israel will leave Gaza.
You must’ve missed the memo. Not only did they agree to terms, but the Palestinians people offered to give the location for the Hamas leadership, which is what the administration is arguing behind the scenes. Go after the leaders who are responsible. Netanyahu response: “We will move forward and fight with our fingernails.” This is no longer about hostages, or Hamas, this is political theatre and self-interest.
@@1tonio567source? Never heard any such deal offered. Instead I’ve seen that they offered a hostages exchange with a ceasefire. This is unacceptable and was rightly rejected.

Yeah, it’s a shame they wont just accept the Peace Proposal that has been on the table for 25 years.
Instead they do an absurd “march”, demanding that they be allowed to demographically destroy Israel “Peacefully”.
There is a reason over 90 Hamas fighters died during the “March for Peace”….because they were there sparking the
conflicts too.
As they say…Don’t mess with the bull, you’ll get the horns,
Israel has free healthcare and free university education and yet the US continues to send them billions of our taxpayer dollars while the average American citizen can’t afford to get sick or go to college

Blinken what was the “Civilians” plan in Japan when the USA dropped 2 atomic bombs and murdered 200,000 civilians?
And saved about 10.5 million japanese civilians and 2 million japanese soldiers.
And saved about 500,000 Allied Troops.
Both were valid military targets. The japanese southern defense army head quarters (20,000 officers and staff) was in Hiroshima. It was also an industrial center.
And “The city of Nagasaki had been one of the largest seaports in southern Japan, and was of great wartime importance because of its wide-ranging industrial activity, including the production of ordnance, ships, military equipment, and other war materials. The four largest companies in the city were Mitsubishi Shipyards, Electrical Shipyards, Arms Plant, and Steel and Arms Works” It was the secondary target. The primary was obscured by bad weather.
Israel gave them days to go to safe zones .
safe zone you mean upstate New York
Zionist still defending criminal acts. Do you think it’s easy to displace thousands of people with no infrastructure waiting for them?
There’s nowhere to go. There are no safe zones. There are no more refugee sites. Ppl are still dying and Israel has been failing and have ppl going in circles. You do not see any progress being made.

What happened to ukraine why hyper focus on gaza
Rafah is hotter than Kharkiv.
But relax, the russians are still losing 1000+ soldiers per day… a couple days ago they lost 30 tanks in *one day* including the turtle tank/mine tank leading them in.
The russians… I mean republicans… finally stopped blocking their aid and ammunition. Europe has committed to 2 million artillery shells. UK just committed to 4 million artillery shells. And the actual production has increased 8 fold in the last 7 months. They are now at about 800,000 artillery shells per year.
Why is the news starting civil discord in the west
Because the west let in too many hamas sympathizers. As they reveal their support for the organization, they should be identified and tracked by national security forces.

If Israel blame Hamas Why Izrael killing Palestinians and do Genocide
What happened to the war in ukraine
The children suffer the actions of there fathers don’t cease fire
Why would HAMAS need a ceasefire to release hostages? Do they need an engraved invitation, too?
UN dramatically reduced casualty figures of women & children from 24,000 to 13,000. So, if the overall number is still valid (42,000) that means 29,000 fatalities are fighting aged men (70%). Yet another narrative crumbles.
Send them to Colorado Baaaaa
There has to be an investigation into this. I was onboard with this until Israels’ war cabinet said there will be no permanent cease fire, even when the hostages are returned. Then, the recent leak, saying the US, told Israel that the Palestinians are willing to give Hamas leadership location if they dont invade Rafah tells me this is no longer about returning the hostages or eliminating Hamas. Netanyahu conflict of interest is preventing a resolution. The fact that Israel can admit they’ve killed more innocent civilians than Hamas is just insane.
You’re lying to yourself
WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
MARS?
Israel set up a safe area larger than Rafah, complete with food and medical care available. They gave plenty of warning to get there via 100’s of 1000’s flyers, texts & social media. Why doesn’t the media report THAT??
Other Arab countries don’t want the because many of them are terrorists or terrorist supporters.
No, as the map showed, the IDF has set up safe areas with food, water, shelter and electricity. From another video, there are 10 locations like this.
Basically the IDF destroys tunnels, removes terrorists, captures weapons cache’s and then moves on. Rafah is the last area that hasn’t been cleared at least once.
There are still undiscovered tunnels in the cleared areas but they are slowly being found by engineering teams and when the terrorists come up, they also reveal the general location of a tunnel. The engineers are then removing the tunnels in a variety of ways.
The rafah tunnels are critical because that is a primary path for new supplies. Once they are cut, it becomes a seige.

@lynnienorris5776 the information (with videos of the refugees arriving) are all here on youtube.
But you have to look for them.
You really need to look for videos showing both sides of the war. You have been led to believe in incorrect version of the war and you are out of touch with reality. And now you’re probably in denial to protect your ego.
I’m looking at both sides. I know how terrible things are in gaza, but I also am still capable of recognizing propaganda from both sides.
I knew the casualties were overstated before the UN came out and said they were overstated yesterday.
It’s not 34,000, it’s about 24,000. And of those 24,000 about 13,000 gazan soldiers fighting in civilian clothing.
I know that Israel is trying really hard to save the lives of the refugees.
Viven en la MISERIA..y aun así votan por Terroristas..
God bless those who try to move. Israel should help them move, and feed them.
There is no such god as Allah, only the maker of heaven and earth the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through which Jesus came as well as our Old Testament which follows the people of Israel and their encounters. Open your eyes before it’s too late.
DOES anyone has the balls to say that to Putin? o HAMAS?. OOPS i forgot, they have all the rights to do whatever they want and they wish…. In fact, in any war, does the enemy comunicate and ask the civilians to leave and area because they will attack that area? …. in what universe happens that?
Let say, Mexico intends to get back California and for that they cross the border and slaugther civilians in San Diego, will the USA ask the civilians to leave the areas they will attack? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👽👽👽👽👽👽

Ancient prophecy on Palestine, getting fulfilled, right before our eyes?
Ezekiel 37
The Valley of Dry Bones
1 The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”
One Nation Under One King
15 The word of the Lord came to me: 16 “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ 17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.
18 “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ 19 say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’ 20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. 23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,[b] and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
24 “‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees. 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”
