  1. I can see all of the Arab countries are going to war with Isreal. They have US weapons too. Also Russia seems to want to gjve Iran Nuclear weapons or Help them build it. Do Arabs have a right to defend themselves?

  2. And who are you?" The proud Lord said
    "That I must bow so low"
    Only a cat of a different coat
    That's all the truth I know
    In a coat of gold or a coat of red
    A lion still has claws
    Mine are long and sharp, my lord
    As long and sharp as yours
    And so he spoke, and so he spoke
    That Lord of Castamere
    But now the rains weep o'er his hall
    And not a soul to hear
    "And who are you?" The proud Lord said
    "That I must bow so low"
    Only a cat of a different coat
    That's all the truth I know
    And so he spoke, and so he spoke
    That Lord of Castamere
    But now the rains weep o'er his hall
    And not a soul to hear
    And so he spoke, and so he spoke
    That Lord of Castamere
    But now the rains weep o'er his hall
    And not a soul to hear
    and so he spoke
    (That Lord of Castamere) Lord of Castamere
    (But now the rains) weep o'er his hall
    (And not a soul to hear)
    And not a soul to hear

  3. Before October 7, there were violations, arrests, and killings of Palestinians, so Hamas, a Palestinian resistance movement, came to respond to these insults.

    But the Western media describes what happened as an attack and not a reaction to what the Netanyahu government has done since it took office.

    Netanyahu delayed the two-state solution because he wanted settlement out of the desire for land and for the Palestinian people to be subject to him at all times

  4. These tunnels are about to be flooded into a river from the sea! 😂

  5. Bravo Israel 🇮🇱 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  7. We Christians must be about our Christian duty and seek out those who are lost and bring them to Christ to the foot of Calvary's cross so they can find healing for their souls. For this old world is perishing and we Christians are the only ones with the answer, Peter said where can we go Lord, to whom? For only you have the words of eternal life. We are the light of the world the salt of the earth… Ambassadors for Christ Jesus. How dare we sit on our laurels when we should be out combing the highways and the hedges compelling men to come into the house of the Lord to find redemption for their souls. And set them at the feet of Jesus.

  8. Hamas, do you even scuba bro?

  9. Al-Qur'an Surah Hud 44.

    وَقِيلَ يَا أَرْضُ ابْلَعِي مَاءَكِ وَيَا سَمَاءُ أَقْلِعِي وَغِيضَ الْمَاءُ وَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُودِيِّ ۖ وَقِيلَ بُعْدًا لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
    Wa qīla yā arḍubla'ī mā`aki wa yā samā`u aqli'ī wa gīḍal-mā`u wa quḍiyal-amru wastawat 'alal-jụdiyyi wa qīla bu'dal lil-qaumiẓ-ẓālimīn

    "And it was said: 'O earth, swallow up your water, and O sky (the rain) stop,' and the water receded, the command was completed and the ark anchored on the hill of Judi, and it was said: 'Perish the unjust people'."

  10. FREE PALESTINE FOR ISRAELI OCCUPATION!!!

  11. Can you charge Israel with war crimes???

  14. 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡 plan straight out of looney toons. American tax payers are paying for their water park

  15. I dont think these hostages are alive . That 9 month and his 2 year old brother that supposedly was handed off to another terrorist group, I don't believe that. I unfortunately feel their not alive. Israel would not flood the tunnels with hostages down there. They know something we don't.

It’s the rewards of terrorist, China is the same with savage indoctrination to kids.Most Chinese stand the side with the CCP delegates the country government of China, even a lot of Chinese immigrated to a democratic country several decades are not easily to change their attitudes and perceptions.every democratic country ought to drive these Chinese and Hamas back to their own country

  20. Hamas – We don't have Tunnels
    Israel- oh wait
