  1. These people are going to have to pay back the government for travel expenses, let me guess. The expenses are actually $1,800, but the wonder is government is going to say the travel expenses are $383737383839

    America is a nasty freak show of a country

  2. As long as they aren’t Musl#m…They do not want peace. Quran (48:29 ) –
    ' Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are ruthless against the disbelievers and merciful only among themselves "

  3. “These violent delights have violent ends
    And in their triumph die, like fire and powder”
    Friar Laurence (act 2, scene 5

  4. So why wont arab countries, like egypt, accept refugees?

  5. AMERICAN NON MUSLIMS WITH NO ROOTS TO GAZA CAN LEAVE BUT THE ONES IN HIJAB ARE TO TO RAFAA CROSSING AND DIE VIA ISRAELI BOMBING

  6. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THOSE AMERICANS AT RAFAA CROSSING ARE MUSLIMS

  7. they won't hit the hospitals…israel isn't cruel hearted by some kind of ill nature. they did things like that because they wanted the brutal enemy to believe they are as brutal too, its human intelligence and all calculated. they are beginning to show mercy though and after they win this, you will see a true israel…the ones will live next to, work with, and let our kids play with and learn from and teach likewise.

  8. Now close the borders everywhere. Too bad we dont have a special planet just for arabs. From an American Israeli

  9. The boat🤔 yes get on the boat Madea hurrty get on that boat😮🎉🎉🎉❤

  10. How ironic is this?!?? Palestinians must run TO Egypt for survival led by no one……..The Jews had to run FROM Egypt for survival led by Moses. History is fun. 😂

  11. If America vs Israel, I wonder which side dual citizens will chose

  12. This was denied by Hamas- not Israel…your coverage of this has been horrendous.

  13. You’ll have to evacuate a third of the country.

  14. Hamas is using own people as human shields. Israel tried to protect them and told them to evacuate. Palestinians need to wake tfu and realize Hamas wants them dead.

  15. I knew that was not going happen. Yesterday and I’m Canada

  16. Over 33 TRILLION dollars of debt. Desantis brought people back to FL

  17. Hamas is blocking and blowing up bridges/cars trying to get out. They hate their own people.

  18. War is no good, but you did here this wanking during the world wars.. it was war till it was over.. since when does war have humanity…

  19. don't save it in Gaza, it's not USA citizens, I bet they will defame the USA by helping them, they are the same feather of hamas😂

  20. If you look at some footage many are drinking and snacking. What ?

  21. Make sure no Palestinians sneak out. They are not tobe trusted.

  22. Hamas showed No Humanity.

  23. What about Palestenian Americans? Where's their cruise ship?

  24. I guess you can get a cheap Globus (Holy Land Tour) Guided Bus Tour in Israel now? Does anyone know how much?

  25. Never trust 🇮🇱 promise 😡

  26. Hamas did terror attack yes..BUT I feel Israel political leaders getting suckered into humiliating cease-fire!! Killing Hamas isn’t the problem…”I can kick my dog 🐶 pretty hard without consequences” it’s Putin’s anti-Israel comments A BIG PROBLEM!! It’s Hezbollah fire 100,000 rockets a big problem!! It’s the upcoming Iranian nuclear tests a big problem…Iran can dictate TERMS with Israel once they become nuclear power!! Israel🇮🇱 will not fight nuclear holocaust with Iran🇮🇷 the same way 23Trillion dollar America🇺🇸 will not fight nuclear holocaust with 2Trillion dollar Russia🇷🇺 ….You can have an amazing life / live like a king / rock solid economy BUT when the nuclear weapons go off.. it’s all the same MUTUAL DESTRUCTION!! I believe Islam ☪️ more likely to take the mutual destruction path than Christian nations.. hence No one will challenge Nuclear Armed Islamic nations like Pakistan🇵🇰 Iran🇮🇷 hence.. India🇮🇳 hasn’t fought single war with Pakistan since Pakistan went nuclear (1998) Indian politicians very aware if they try to take another bite out of Pakistan it could lead to death and destruction for both sides 🇮🇳 🇵🇰..last war India had with Pakistan (1971) India was nuclear armed nation.. Pakistan was non-nuclear armed nation. FACTS (1998-2023)🧐🧐

  27. Standing powerless, waiting for bombs to drop. Bc you live in Gaza, you are only cannon fodder. Neither Israel nor Hamas gaf. We need UN Peacekeeping troops to help people get out. JFC.

  28. The DUAL PASSPORT game is a JOKE. You want to live in some other country and swear allegiance to it…then RENOUNCE your U.S. Citizenship

  29. Dual citizenship should be stopped

  30. Im getting tired of hearing about 'poor' Gaza…THEY HARBOR TERRORISTS!! They allowed Hamas to live, plot and plan among them, they have brought this upon themselves.

  31. ✊😡⚔️Free Palastine 🇰🇼🫵😡The people of Gaza🇰🇼 are not terrorists, but you Jewish devils are all terrorists who, being residents of Palestine, have been occupying Palestine and torturing Palestine for 75 years. Who has become a terrorist till now?✊😡🫵🫵😡Free Palastine 🇰🇼 Now✊✊😡😡⚔️

  32. Again, the biased news blames Israel. The PLO and the Egyptians control the border crossing, not Israel.

  33. Hamas is also bombing people trying to get out.
