So what is the answer?
Peace is what we need. Peace is not what Hamas will get.
"We love death like our enemies love life"–Hamas
This guy is an Arab Israeli and he is not a Jew but is a Muslim.
this anchor has an agenda and doesn't want to let the guest speak
Then Palestinian should stop gaza
So is he saying save Hamas so they can kill Israel down the road as they have vowed? Sami Abu Shahadah is a moron.
He who seeks revenge should dig two graves. 🤦🏻♂️
quit shouting death to the jews and teaching your children to be war mongrels-what's sad is they probally won't learn a thing from this-they are war mongrels since bible times
Ceasefire will not happen, war is not pretty and life is not "fair". My heart goes out to all life to seek and find the light… evolve now or die. Its our time, our chance and our choice.
yea right-stop the war and let hamas regroup and come back in two years and start their crap again-pound them into dust
👏 👏 👏 👏, finally a man of Peace!!!!
Head of the Bald party?
To save lives and end war Hamas needs to be removed. There will be cost in Gazan lives to do it . Cease fire now will assure many many more Gazan lives are lost
Leave it to ABC News to gaslight us by interviewing a short sighted pacifist.
At this point it is as usual just about exploiting the desire for revenge and making Netanyahu look good. None of this is going to increase the likelihood of the hostages being released unharmed, and is more likely making it worse for them.
This is 1000% correct. Pray to God more people start thinking like this. My thoughts and heart is with the people of palestine and isreal. The entire middle east actually 🙁
Where are the signs? Can we see these signs? People just say things on the news and online and everyone is supposed to take it as fact. Were the signs hand written? Nobody asking questions about these things, why? You'd think as journalists it would be important to substantiate what you're broadcasting.
How ABC can put on someone who thinks a cease fire is warranted at this point is crazy. What propaganda you report. No chance of cease fire and so many reasons why not to.
What I care about it that Israel is not following international law in their response. A nation cannot indiscriminately throw shells into a known civilian area. One must have reasoned intelligence data that shows a clear Hamas target. Gaza itself is NOT a Hamas target.
Why is there more footage in one week than an entire year of ukraine? Trump was right. I no longer believe any of u
James Longman do your job and explain who the Balad Party is? It is an Arab party in Israel who represent the 1 million Arabs (descended from the 150,000 Arabs who in 1948 decided to remain in Israel) who are Israeli citizens and most consider themselves Palestinians. Your reporting is Irresponsible and unprofessional. A good example of media disinformation. ABC is looking worse than Al Jazeera. Anyway at least you showed that Israel is a Democracy.
that's cool there's a party for bald people
No.
Absolutely passed the point of ceasefire. This man is a complete moron
Never thought America, in all their virtue, would support ethnic cleansing. This level of collective punishment is horrendous and to hear people support this, after all the virtue signalling, is hypocrisy at its best.
Muslim Trojan horse in the Parliament
