  1. Hamas is not an organization to wipe it out. It’s a movement. You will never be able to wipe out a movement by force. A new generation will replace the dead. To solve the problem of radicalization, you need to put an end to injustice and despair. That is impossible for as long as filth like bibi is head of the state.

  2. the veil of appearing benign perhaps?

  3. Whole war game created by China and Iran..

  4. Reminder: Egypt warned Israel 3 days before that an attack from Gaza was coming.

  5. Except the lives of all those hostages.

  6. I cant believe he ask to bring u.s. troops.

  7. Push them back in the holes…and plug the holes.

  8. God will cleanse the land from Esau Khazarians pretending to be the Jews. 12 Tribes will return soon.

  9. Why is Israel the one hurting and not the Palestine people, they are both hurting from this atrocity. 😢😢,we can't take sides they are both hurting.

  10. We are with Israel and against these monster, murderers terrorists!!!

  11. They need to deport all these people to Egypt!!!

  12. Nothing to lose..lol. Ridiculous thing to say.
    After the embarrassing performance of the IDF this weekend I would say they are going to lose a lot.

  13. The Bible says,

    “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him not perish but have eternal life. John 3”16

    “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

    “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is Eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. “Romans 6:23

    “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while were still sinners, Christ died for us “Romans 5:8

    Jesus Christ also states, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6

    …Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household. ”Acts 30-31

    How to be saved and go to Heaven

  14. Taking women and children as hostages, savages

  15. the Name of Hamas will be no more
    after Israel 🇮🇱 wins the war

  16. Let the propaganda roll as Israel commits its war crimes.

  17. The United States will help Israel commit its war crimes, that is clear.

  18. Nothing to loses and a lot of prime real estate $$$$$$$$$ to gain.
    Some people are going to get really rich.

  19. Of all of the Israeli footage being shown on our news networks, I can’t see what any of those defense system missiles were hitting.
    Was there actually incoming fire on day one?,, or is this another hoax by Israel to steal the Gaza Strip??

  20. And when will the israeli regime take full responsibility for the brutal murder of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot in the head by an israeli soldier? Never, probably… This is not normal!

  21. hatreds … hatreds…. hatreds … are on semining????

  22. You could lose your life

  23. Turkey, Qatar, and Iran are terrorist-sponsored states and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas. Dismantle Turkey and kick them out of NATO.

  24. So when Israel has continually killed civilians including children for the last 50 + years while building illegal settlements, that is justified murder. But if Palestinians fight back against their captors that keep them in a prison then they are terrorists?
    So Ukrainians fighting to protect their land are freedom fighters. Palestinians fighting against Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide are terrorists?
    No one with a brain believes any crap coming from these fake media outlets or the morons doing these stories!

  25. Hamas and Israeli goverment
    Are the same.
    Terrorist

  26. 2 M people having lived through 75 years of occupation. 17 years of blockade.

    A nation with 1 of the most advanced weaponry on earth can stop any invasion if they wanted to. What does one do; when the world is vaguely sympathetic towards your enemy; and your Leader is power-hungry & unpopular? How does one unite one’s people behind the unpopular you AND justify an aerial attack & water and food blockade to one’s enemy?

    The world is watching. Loyalties are aligning. Only God, using righteous men & women, can save us. Any moment now… in this dimension… or another.

  27. Does a Gaza ground invasion result in an Israele land grab by the use of force similar to the Israele land grab in 1967 which was then disguised as a need to create security zone by the same use of force?
    🇦🇺💯%

  28. I am a black African. To see real pictures of dead infants and children, innocent young men and women in Gaza due to the indiscriminate and barbaric bombing of Israel in a conflict with the so called Hamas begs a lot of questions. As a militia, Hamas does not relate to the war crimes and atrocities that is associated with this large scale, indiscriminate act of criminality that I am seeing now. I have seen videos of young mothers kissing goodbye to their deceased infants that have been bombed and this has pierced my heart. Israel has blockaded Gaza and the innocent people alive, including those in need of critical care in hospitals do not have food and medicine supplies, no fuel for energy, no electricity and clean drinking water. Guys, does Israel and its western supporters seat in comfort for days and think this is a humane act? How do other western countries and some of their extremist citizens celebrate that this is a victory against Hamas? How shall the world judge you for these acts of war crimes? My heart bleeds. This only fuels permanent anger and division between the western world and the Global south. The scale of destruction to the innocent men, women and children of Palestinians is not an issue to smile or celebrate about, yet we see our colleagues and politicians claim this as victory, someday will come for you. It shall be the most painful days of your lives. I have that conviction and this shall come to pass.

  29. Ukraine , Israel, Afghanistan withdrawal , Inflation , gas prices ,open Borders , NONE of this happened under Trump, FACT ,Biden is a GLOBAL disaster

  30. Hubris. If Israel wages a ground war in Gaza they are giving Hamas what they want.

  31. Hamas backed by China, iran, qatar, Turkey does not want G20 india backed india-mid east-europe economic corridor as it is against china BRI!
    Bharat stand with Israel 🇮🇳🇮🇱

  32. Iran needs to go..the satan of middle east.

  33. I can't wait to give more tax money to Israel!

    more dirty water please.

  34. Killing kids, teenagers and babies in Occupied Land is not bravery 🤬🤬🤬 #FreePalestine

  35. I will pray for Israel's victory
