  • Sickening to watch the Israeli army eat a feast while Palestinians are starving. Never mind our US tax dollars are feeding/ supporting the Israeli economy while people in the US go hungry.

    They are NOT going against U.S.!! The U.S. agrees with them!! It just has to "sound" like its against them, while shipping them more weapons and support!!!!

    Heartbreaking to see young children and families suffering and dying with hunger. Sleeping under sky from months. I have never seen such tragedy and the worst humanitarian disaster while so called world leaders watching this genocide and enjoying their lavish lifestyle
  • @JaylinB.
    If only the civilians had access to weapons to defend themselves against the occupation.
  • @user-ev8xg2on9v
    How much cruel Iseraili! How much u sympathetic with Palestinians? How much you respond with justice? Justice for children in Gaza ? Justice for ladies in Gaza? Justice for poors in Gaza ? But unfortunately, UN and world are powerless against Iseraili atrocities. Unfortunately, powerful leaders of world , are ,in favour of tyrant Israel! Perhaps it to be dangerous tragedy against human being.
  • @pe3429
    Wake up people!!! This is unbelievable, horrific suffering upon innocent people. Humanitarian ceasefire needs to happen!!! How can the world stand by and allow this to happen?
  • I wonder if Israel has considered for a moment that the attackers from Hamas on October 7 were once traumatized children of Israel attacks from the past, and this is what motivated them to commit the crimes on October 7. OK, so I think it's fairly safe to say that this conflict between the Palestinians and Israel did not just start on October 7.

    Please have Robert Geist Pinfold on as often as possible. He is an excellent analyst!
  • @asidasid2487
    I haven't seen 1 hamas battalion! Have any of u seen this? I don't even think hamas has even been in Palestine since Netanyahu orchestrated the entire event from day 1
  • Hypocritical behaviour by the Egyptian government outrages and irresponsible! FreešŸ‡µšŸ‡ø
