    Hi , from Ohio , hey
    Hey , from Ohio , hi

  2. why would any parent subject their kid to a life in that miserable 3rd world region where they have no right to bear arms??

  3. Western media full of hypocrisy and injustice
    I felt sorry for this little girl but western society feeling sorry only for their people and ignoring the suffering of others

  4. I canโ€™t imagine how Palestinian children are suffering and kept hostages for many years and western Media completely ignoring this

  5. WE NEED TO STAND BY ISRAEL

  6. ๐Ÿคง๐Ÿคง๐Ÿคง

  7. Why does she have thw face of a 20 years old?

  8. What about 5000 children killed by Israelis they cant go back to their families just like this little child ๐Ÿ˜ข

  9. La diferencia es q esta Linda Nina es innocent y los otro son presos terroristas!!!
    Q Hashem mande fuerza proteccion ayuda salvacion y bendicion a todo am Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ amen…

  10. Why israel doesnot allow these hostages to speak in public

  11. ๐Ÿคฎ๐ŸคฎAre these so-called free press members talking about why non-Palestinians in Palestine have been killing Palestinians for years, holding them captive for years, why even their electricity water has been taken away from their administration, and why they are imprisoned in an area with wire fences in their own homeland..?๐Ÿคฎ

  12. May Love & Peace Prevail in The World….

  15. they taken people, on there home..why there is any , exchange of the criminals?…i dont understand

  16. Wow, she is alive but isreali terrorists killed 600infant babies

  17. Isreali terrorists killed 647infant babies… shut your mouth.

  18. Leaving this comment so when she grow up she might search some news of her and know people from all over the world had a big LOVE and support for her..

    Grow up brave and stronger you little one..โค๏ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™

  19. How can people support the brutal abduction of innocent children? How???

  20. Innocent child. Best wishes for her while she grows older. I wish that the media also show the faces of Palestinians children. Demonizing the others and viewing the conflict as good vs evil is not helping. More discussion about human rights, occupation of Palestinian's land is needed. Cant support a super right wing in Israel w/o checks and balances.

  21. The God does not hear you cry

  22. Dual citizenship = US CITIZEN ๐Ÿ˜‚
    still glad she's okay

  23. Israel killed more than 15000 Palestinians in this conflict .a thought for them as well .
