  1. Family of illegal occupiers! Face the facts!

  2. Just like the family of Isreali taken, Palestine family has also been taken snd jail with out charge for decades by Isreal government

  3. The Red Cross needs to be able to see and care for the hostages. Period.

  4. This was so closed hatred , it was evil and eliminated hamas.

  5. As an American..as far as im concerned if Americans are hostages then hamas deals with American forces..its our job to free them. The heck with those that protest against it because if it was their loved ones they wouldn't be carrying the enemies flag in protest.

  6. President Indonesia Jokowi : "The root of the problem of violence in Gaza is the occupation of the Palestinian territories by Israel".

    Presiden Jokowi : "Akar masalah dari kekerasan di Gaza adalah pendudukan wilayah Palestina oleh Israel."

  7. Muslims are to blame for recent wars so why should they be allowed to be in the West with their hate speech, Israel shouldn't stop until all Muslims are gone from that land. What needs to happen is for the US to step in against Muslims middle east as it's time to remove the most racist hate speech people who have caused wars for over a hundred years as they push hate speech and disinformation

  8. Also Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ terrorists state killed more than 5,000 innocent children and more than 11,000 innocent killed by terrorists state Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ that is not ok. Free Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

  9. Red Cross and UN are useless, they are only interested in making money out of victims.

  10. Im sad for those hostages, and also 5000 imprisoned palestinians in Israeli prisons.

  11. pro palestine where are you ?๐Ÿ˜‚

  12. "Where's the action?" Have you not seen what's happening the Gaza? The IDF needs to careful with the bombardments to allow hope for these wonderful people.

  13. Hi friends !

    the arm's industry.
    Kind Regards.

  14. ask israel govt to release 10k+ Palestinian hostage to safe Israel hostage

  15. Where is tge pressure to get families home

  16. ๐Ÿ˜ข please help them. ๐Ÿ’”

  17. why is it needed to post "american hostages " why is the nationality so important? are they better than other hostages by label of "American" ? how about just stating "Hostages" . how arrogant and nationalistic and narcissistic to state that they are "american hostage"s. people are all humans and to label a person of nationality to make them seem more important. is the reason this war is in the first place.

  18. OMG. these people are so self centered and only think of their own. thousands and thousands are being killed and not one word of how tragic it all is. just centered on their own single family member. sad how these families behave and then DEMAND the u.s. do something about it.

  19. Wake up America! Israel is committing war crimes. Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

  20. hope they come home safe, free palestine and ceasefire now.

  21. Hamas taking hostages is wrong, but Israel has detained around 1000 people without a charge. What's the fundamental difference?

  22. Stay strong, the people of Israel!

  23. Ask Idf they will get them back

  24. They're right. Where is the pressure to bring back the kidnapped people back
