My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. ”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””” How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, “My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘How can I be better than people?’ I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: +967717126434. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you with good =>[[}>]^{][]/*&;;&;&&;•̥·-`.`.`.`.`.•.,😢😢🎉¸-•.,¸°꒰·̮ &&;:*-g…….,.
Thank you for sharing 🙏 free Humanity free Gaza Palestine 🇵🇸
free paledtine🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
May almighty god guide everyone in this world.
I would argue that the idea of Israel in itself is bad both ‘morally and politically’
Gideon and Haaretz pursuit and publication of the truth is what all news media should do .. yet Israel shows again the lie of its democracy and military, trying to hide its genocide
Israëli’s impunity is visible to the world!
👌😢😢❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
The extent of the freedom of speech
May Allah almighty bless you and give you strength to continue your work iam so happy when I listen to you and news outlets thank you
Nothing of that thing is good, even the creation of this fake state is a bad move.
Israel doesn support freedom of press in their own country and the USA supports that
💯🎯👏🏼
Levy should be israel’s prime minister, if he was, both people could live in peace. He’s an amazing human!!!
Talliban just made a law no person can be filmed at all, while they give their propaganda news only buildings are shown when anchors tell the ” news”, no one can walk down a street and take pics or video of anybody, sound familiar in what Isreal is doing? What you can not see or video the truth will never be applied, only propaganda lies, and cruelty is hidden
Truth
MR LEVY 🙏
Solidarity with every ethical journalist worldwide. Thankyou Mr Levy.
Now all they need is to kindle a book bonfire.
The MEs only democracy? 😂😂😂😂🤬
Thank you, Gideon. This is another blow against the truth in Israel. You have always given us great insight into this terrible rolling story. I worry about your own security. All my best wishes.
They are proceeding to be the architects of their own destruction and ultimately their own downfall.
I will signing up for the digital copy. Yorkshire, U.K.
It’s normal for the only democracy in the planet to banned a newspaper publications right? Right? Like north korea?😂😂😂
I marvel that you continue to live amongst such wide spread immoral people and yet you keep speaking out. I worry about your heart hurting Gideon. Take care.
Isreali govt’s actions prove they are guilty.
Prayers for your protection and safety. The world will see you through this nightmare. ❤️ to you Mr Levy
Israelis know exactly what’s going on. They have full access to mainstream and social media. They’re not lacking information, they just don’t think Palestinians are members of the human race.
Israeli democracy is a clown show…
It’s not a democracy it’s a demoNcracy.
So now Israel hides from further scrutiny about the crimes it is committing. Without reporting news from reputable sources we will no longer see the atrocities they continue to vomit. If that doesn’t send a clear message to the US government that Israel is hiding from its accountability, what will ?
Obviously they will do everything to close you as Aljezeera. Pure fascist politics.
…and Israel shamelessly calls itself a democracy.
At this point, everything they do will backfired. God is Great Planner !
Haaretz is the only ethical source, experienced professionals, excellent quality work, keep it up thank you
The final vestiges of ‘democracy’ collapse – although it could well be argued that the state was never a modern democracy in the true sense – difficult to claim to be one when you occupy 7 million who have no choice in their government
The only person with balls, I love the haaretz newspaper
2 month ago it was recognized as nearly as state propaganda,now its antisemitic ?!
Its funny how the “only democracy ” in the middle east is acting like any fascist state there is and was
Please. Surely things can’t get morally worse than genocide?
How can we donate money to Haaretz?
