You killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
God bless Israel!
لعنة الله عليكم
God Bless Israel. You have a right to defend yourselves against these evil atrocities.
play victim
No words.
What happened over night in Israel turned the entire world upside down.
How can something like this happen to the most vigilant country on earth?
They are always watching, are they not?
Jews are being persecuted for their faith, all the time.
So how can Hamas invade their borders without warning, killing and taking hostages.
Isreal has some of the most advanced technology in the region, how can this happen?
Someone explain the lack of security in Isreal, that put this war in motion?
We haven't been told this information yet, but we run to help our ally none the less.
Is it as if we are blaming when we ask this question?
I'm responsible isn't enough for me, American lives are on the line, my shipmates on the Eisenhower are putting their lives on the line to rescue our American citizens who where trapped in the region when the war started.
What should we tell our service members families?
Now everywhere we go there are fully equipped law enforcement officials standing watch.
We are affected.
Every member of Nato is affected because our Jewish citizens are in all of their countries.
What of the Palestinian peoples and their families?
How can Hamas attack Isreal from within Palestinian territories and the regular Palestinian does nothing, doesn't raise an alarm, doesn't call Isreali law enforcement, just let's Hamas stage an offensive into Southern Isreal?
Where is the communication between Palestine and Isreal?
Does the news work?
Where was the reporting on the high tension in that region before this event took place?
Had the media reporting been quenched for political reasons?
As an American, I am surprised Isreal was suddenly attacked, could be attacked this way.
Watching to learn more.
I am from Russia and I STAND WITH ISRAEL! 🇮🇱 ❤❤❤❤❤
acharri!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shalom sons of isaac its time to enslave the sons of ishamel once more!!!!!!

"日本开拓团"成战场。

I stand with isreal from USA 🇺🇸
Warning to ALL other Western nations…this will happen to you if you let Muslims in your nation…….let this skink in…!!!!!!!
Pity these Israel 🇮🇱
That is not your homeland
It makes you question your beliefs.
Always israyel killing people
Revenge served cold.
Payback
"I want to collect bullets, I want to keep them for feelings" this kid deserves to serve in israel army someday
my heart goes out to those affected by these hamas monsters
Gaza is eager to swallow up the Jewish occupier and take revenge and avenge the lives of innocent civilians that were taken by the Zionist criminals – and whoever stands behind the usurping Israeli entity to support its heinous and racist crimes.
well there are good people on both sides and they are the one sufferring but keep in mind that these settler do not belong to this land, they were brough in to settle these lands and the people who live here for generations are all cramped up inside Gaza stripe and some small pockets of west bank, israilis has made it a pressure cooker of humans and what else you expect when it will explode peace for all but justice for all as well
That doesn’t look like a war zone to me when you compare it to the absolute and horrifying destruction of thousands of buildings boomed by mass destruction weapons the IDF owns, brutally and barbarically murdering thousands of innocent Palestinians including children and women many of those women are pregnant. Why is that ok? Hammas is not an excuse, as matter of fact no excuse can justify these barbaric terrorist action by IDF.
Such beautiful communities. You can see the love, creativity and joy that was there. That is why Hamas targeted the festival, the communities. Evil can not stand to see light & love. That is the reason to shine all the brighter. God bless & keep Israel 🕊️
Don’t let Jews or anyone step over your country
Fight to the death…..
I am absolutely shocked by this; Islamic fundamentalist groups are not usually known for this sort of behavior. Religion of peace. I always wondered why Israel had those walls. I would think to myself, "Why would the jewish state ever perceive any threat from groups like Hamas? Why the walls?" It's all so confusing now. Wow this came out of left field. Shocking
Blessings and love for this boy lost his father and account.
