  1. Congratulations 🍺 🎊 hair sniffer and chief voters πŸ‘ endless wars and death πŸ‘

  2. Albert Einstein refused to be the leader of this zionist occupation as he was not willing to legitimise what was to follow. Hats off to him for his stance.

  3. The total destruction of Hamas is the only solution to that. And total subjugation of Gaza strip by Israel.

  5. Wish and Temu weapons vs the world. Naziyahoo = Pol Pot

  6. It surprises me how israel was caught off guard. Hamas should have been monitored 24/7. The israel defense is responsible for this surprise attack. Israel will never get the hostages back because nobody knows where they are except informers will tell israel. Nevertheless hamas will set the negotiations on their term and we will see how israel will respond

  7. President Biden supports Hamas actions. Biden is calling Hamas freedom fighters.

  8. Could APARTIED have anything to do with this conflict? Or no? There are some "internet videos" all the sudden and this is an "unprovoked" attack that happened in a VACUUME???? OK NBC πŸ‘Œ

  9. We are in the end times this is all biblical! Armageddon is rapidly approaching and judgements day is coming soon!GET RIGHT WITH GOD or you will suffer the 2nd death! Turn from you’re sins and ask the lord for forgiveness or you shall certainly be cast out of the kingdom!! So many souls will be lost forever the sheep are being separated from the goats as we speak.

  10. It might have been as simple as bringing the hardware in over a long period of time, and using human couriers instead of the Internet to communicate. It seems certain that a state actor has provided the training and backing, because this kind of shock and awe doesn't come cheap. They have succeeded in paralyzing the best prepared, best trained country on earth. They achieved tactical surprise, although not a strategic surprise because Israel has always known that attack like this was coming sooner or later.

  11. What does this have to do with Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift?

  12. israeli parliament and army were asleep on the wheels and may be money was exchanged w saudi Arabia to let it happen.who got the money

  13. When that peace treaty is signed, watch out😫

  14. Hammas surprise attack? More like tired and fed up with walls and injustice attack.

    Israel has been fought over since 1568 BC when Moses took 40 years for a 2-week journey. 3,591 years later and the Jews still have NO sense of direction.

    US loves to hate and bombed Muslims in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen.

    Take a guess who will be back bombing Palestine next week. US Orange Stupid won't be only dumb news of the week.

  15. Too bad Hamas doesn't have nukes

  16. I assume Iran and China provided the weapons. Hamas used sling shots and rocks in past conflict with Israel. If Israel hadn't treated the Palestinians so badly for decades, this would not have happened. By the way, where was our national intelligence?

  17. Israel is a terrorist state of mentally ill people. This week we saw orthodox Jews spitting on Christians in the old city, as well as desecration of both Christian and Muslim cemeteries and facilities.

  18. I don't give a F*ck, period.

  19. If Ukraine has been occupied by Russia then Palestine is occupied by Israel.

  20. Israel is the oppressor, sadly this is what happens when people are pushed to the edge!
    Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be in prison. God help them all.πŸ™
