  1. Why don't you talk about the suffering of the Palestinians?

  2. Why don't you show the dead children of Palestine and the genocide of the people of Gaza

  3. Why don't you talk about the tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israel?? Those who torture.

  4. Are the terrorist/Hamas going to release all the hostages?

  5. Hamas knows meaning of humaniterian but Israel refused what about humanity

  6. Israel has 4k Palestinian prisoners, its not even comparable to what they're doing

  7. What about thousand killing in gaza are they not human beings u only matters ur pple so stop ✋ support israel terrorist apartheid

  8. We are praying that this situation will soon be over and all the violence inflicted this organize terrorist will soon be convince they too need to live a life free from violence, its not the desire of the Creator that both tribes will live with recentment memories biblically we are both Esmalite and Isaac, the Son of 1man Called by the make to start the journey knowing that there is a Creator and a God in intire Humanity, 👍🙋‍♀️❤️😔😔, stay strong you Frontliner we are with praying that the Maker will step in this situation we dont know how but believing He can make a way for His children and the His vineyard, 🙋‍♀️❤️😔🙏🏻🙏🏻

  9. Where is the coverage on the thousands being killed KILLED in Gaza. If Hamas is terrorizing these civilians. What is Israel doing to the innocent civilians of Gaza, restricting their access to water, food, medical aid and electricity?? How is Israel oppressed when it can do all that while the people in Gaza have no control over Israel's water, food and medical aid. When the people in GAZA are FENCED. Today you see the hostages being imprisoned but for the past 75 years the world was quiet while the Palestinians have been living and being killed in an open air prison named Gaza. Gaza has been considered the world's largest open air prison by the UN ITSELF.

    You guys act like you do not know what genocide is, what colonialism is, what resistance is. The biased news casting is truly disgusting and disappointing. It shows, who's lives are deemed more valuable and whose aren't.. SHOW BOTH SIDES, SHOW the bloodshed of Palestinians, the hospitals, the churches, the residential homes of people being bombed by Israel in the name of Hamas as well. If Ukraine resists against Russia it's called resistance but if Palestine does the same, if Palestine resists against Israel it's called terrorism?

  10. OHHH REALLY, JUST TELL ME…
    WHAT DID CUSHNER, THE ISRRAELY/AMERICAN & MASTER MONEY HUSTLER HAD TO DO WITH IT…
    SO, SAVE YOUR "DRAMA" CAUSE ALL YOU ARE DOING
    IS ENABLING A FANATIC NUT FROM EITHER "TEAM"
    ANY TIME TO USE THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS FROM BOTH, TO DESTROY THEM BOTH, IN THE HOPE THAT HE WILL BE THE ONLY TRUE VICTOR LEFT.
    SO MUCH FOR ARMAGEDON/3RD WORLD WAR WHICH
    JUST STARTED IN NO OTHER PLACE THAN NORTHERN
    GAZA LOCATED BY THE JUNCTION. OF HIGHWAYS
    65 & 66WHICH STILL CARRIES THE ORIGIINAL HEBREW
    NAME "Megiddo = ARMAGEDON TODAY".

  11. No one is saying why specifically these two are released…

  12. Sounds like NBC News ain't biased like fake news CNN

  13. 3:56 tells you all you need to know

  14. It's insane that you supposed Christians are not defending the ORIGINAL Christian people from Bethlehem

  15. Obviously Gaza isn’t that bad , considering the fact that these women look like they just walked out of a clothing store or something.

  16. God bless those, who still in capture ! It seems that two of those released have muslim roots. May be that's why?
