  1. Israeli with double citizenship. Some of these so called American citizens lived in Israel settlements for over 20-30 yrs

  2. Wrong these hostages were killed by the IDF! Stop the Zionist propaganda

  3. At this point it is clear that US and Israel are in on the same deal. It's US weapons, billions of dollars and Veto power that is murdering innocent people and brutally punishing children. May Gods Grace reign upon this world and grant miracles to those most needed, amen! 🙏

  4. US sentenced thousands to death by blocking a ceasefire. What on earth is Biden gaining from the horrors and suffering inflicted on them? I have so much compassion for Palestine. 😢

  5. U.S.A. is a horrible enabler of genocide whose mask of humanity has fallen

  6. Israel is the one killing hostages in bombing. Shame on israel.

  7. Everything that comes out the mouths of the zionist government is LIES LIES AND MORE LIES.

  8. You need a more generalized title.

  9. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸💔💔

  10. Hamas is holding hostages launching rockets and all we hear about are their suffering society… nothing of the the efforts to demand they give back the hostages and stop firing rockets.
    The UN is sick. This is sick reporting .

  11. isn't it amazing that only women and children are in the soup line?

  12. Perhaps the food is in storage.

  13. Video purports to be about a murdered man and his abducted wife, then quickly switches to Hamas / UN propaganda of starving civilians from whom they take the food.

  14. The reason the civilians in Gaza are starving is because HAMAS has been hoarding/confiscating (read: stealing) it for themselves! They've dug up water pipes in the past to use to make weapons. Look at all the videos from the IDF searches into the tunnels, hospitals, schools, private houses, etc. and see where all the money went that was supposed to be used for the civilians in Gaza: weapons and life support (electricity and ventilation) and other supplies in the tunnels.

    DO NOT blame Israel for this. Blame HAMAS and whoever is supporting them.

  15. The only people who care about the Jewish victims are Jewish people. Most of the world hates us and wants us gone.

  16. I hope all americans can go home

  17. Hamas needs to stop stealing the food and water aid before it reaches the people in Gaza

  18. As for "famine": many more trucks can enter Gaza. Israel doesn't prevent this from happening. The blame is on Egypt and the UN. Go interview them. As for why Gazans purportedly don't get food: that's exactly the duty of the UN to investigate.

  19. I hope Israel is not poisoning the food. I don’t trust ANYTHING they do!

  20. How many bombs are being shipped to Israel?? NBC needs to show us that shipment…

  21. But gee, what about the thousands of children who won't get to grow up??

  22. The UN better stop the Houthis then. Also the Hamas steals it.

  23. Israel has the right to defend itself against the Hostages.

  24. Why don’t you show the 200+ aid trucks that come in through the Raffah gate? Why do you show one sided propaganda? Yes, the Palestinians are suffering, no one wants this to happen. Those same people were the ones that chose Hamas, and have been warned to evacuate a few months ago. Food enters daily, only for Hamas to steal it from their own people. Where is the UN? Why don’t they make sure that the food gets to the people? I can only guess that it’s because their story will end, and they won’t to blame Israel for Hamas evil.

  25. So, NBC, how do you explain trucks of food and water enough to feed the 2 million population for weeks did not reach the intended people ? Looks like you missed an episode in your propaganda story….

  26. He definitely were not american, he was israeli zionist at heart. He lived in israel , paid tax to israel and pledged loyalty to israel.. nothing to do with america.

  27. He explains that HAMAS is stealing the AID & FOOD from the Palestinians People, DUH!!
    But the UN won’t TELL THE TRUTH because the UN SUPPORTS HAMAS, CLEARLY!!
    BAND THE UN, THEY ARE TERRORIST SUPPORTERS!!!

  28. Israel's exaggerated bombings have only caused the death of women, children, pets and hostages.

    The European press has started calling them "dumb bombs."

  29. BLAME HAMAS FOR YOUR STATE NOW, YOU LOVE HAMAS AND HAMAS BRING DISTRACTION TO YOUR HOME

  30. And they still support the humus terrorists, unbelievable. I will never understand this kind of hate.

  31. And Hamas takes most of this to make appeals for more publicity to hate a Israel, just like it has been shown on video that they use their people and children as targets by putting them and running with them into building to be bombed, them leave them there!

  32. That it should have been Biden instead, because Biden killed him.

  33. I don’t get it with 100 plus trucks a day bringing aid which Israel is inspecting is it more a case that Hamas is just still stealing it all?

  34. Why Israeli military and govts speak so rubbish even normal people watching feels devastation hearing their harsh words against Palestinian people,what kind of animals they are,really shameless
