  1. I thought they announced the baby being dead. I’m glad he’s not.

  2. Can the posters come down now?

  3. Did they carry U.S. passports only because it’s easier to obtain visas elsewhere? What makes them loyal American citizens?

  4. She is not an American. She is an Israeli

  5. Insane these guys have such a legacy of terrorism, From the Munich massacre, to the Entebbe hijacking of the plane with Israelis, now this. Don't they understand they won't further their goals by doing these inhumane acts?

  6. What about the 2 dead ones

  7. Hamas claims they are "guests" I stand 100% with Israel and the IDF

  8. 🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱

  9. Never would have happened with Trump

  10. No one talks about the innocent Palestinian children that have been jailed for no wring doing, in the Isreal jails!!! Or how the settlers just come and take thier homes, what about the teenage girl who was trying to retrieve her cat from her roof and got shot because of it.

  11. Not the youngest .. the baby is still in captivity.

  12. Would you want Hamas as neighbors ❓️ I don't
    I will always stand with Israel
    Shame and disgrace to Hamas ‼️

  13. Do u know how many 4 years old palastine still missing, or they re not important to you.
    Well, they are not less important to a lot of others u probably not important to them.

  14. Why are we not doing more to free the hostages????❤ America were supposed to be the most powerful nation ever. But we can't get the hostages home?????

  15. Imagine taking a 4 year old hostage, the religion of peace folks

  16. "freed by Hamas"??
    Freed FROM Hamas. Disgusting

  17. Biden and Blinken pressuring israel to reduce military actions. Such pressure should be put on Arab countries and UN which consists of Hamas sympathizers. What a shame that in state departments employees wearing signs and planning demonstration for FP instead of Free Hostages!

  18. what’s worse these people watch the news see the suffering of the hostages families friends and still won’t release them it’s cruel I even cried thinking what those hostages are enduring there has always been war death through out the centuries yet it doesn’t make it any less horrific

  19. Cruel? That isn’t even the right word. There is no word.

  20. What new details? NBC News, you are giving details on Avigail that everyone has known for about three months. Misleading titles or labels do not inspire confidence in using you as a source of news. Do keep the hostages from being forgotten, but don't use them as clickbait or you risk comparison with Hamas, which is using them for propaganda, to manipulate and torment those who care.

  21. Such a tragic experience that no child should ever go through. I still do NOT stand with the falsely established israel government.

  22. This is why the Middle East is cursed. The world should wash it's hands of the Middle East. (This includes Israel.) The world should keep focus on creating alternate forms of energy generation, leave the Middle East and close the door behind us.
