  1. Ainโ€™t karma . Wonderful I wonder where they left their dancing shoes.

  2. Palestinians defend themselves and their lands from Zionists and terrorism

  3. Love to Israel from the US ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

  4. Dont forget israel didnt exist before 1948..they occupy palestine..Gaza is 1.33%..endless massacres..they bomb famillies under towers..no warnings…ashame on usa. Ashame on germany..ashame on italy. Ashame uk england..ashame france who killed 2millionsalgerian between 1954.1962

  5. Human rights falen in Gaza..western allies with killer and israel brutaluty..ashame on you

  6. President Biden on Wednesday declared that he saw "confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children" only to have the White House walk it back hours later and admit he saw no such thing.

  7. Sounds like pro hamas supporting

  8. The gazans should rise up and overthrow hamas, but when nearly 50% support them…. I dont think they will.

    People don't understand that hamas will even say themselves that they love death like we love life.

    They love the idea of fighting and dying to become martyrs. Them dying isn't as big a deal as it is to us, we value their children more than they do

  9. OK, so Hamas underestimated the Israeli reaction, and now the reaction has become overwhelming, so if they really care about the fate of the people of Gaza, they should surrender, lay down their weapons, hand themselves over to the Israelis, and the war will end.

  10. arabs do not deserve to draw breath, away from your home land or otherwise.

  11. You are very selective in your recollection of events what about all the Arabs league country who have not condemn Hamas and vowing support Hamas should not have started what the cannot finish always using population as a human shield Israel has the right to defend itself

  12. I shudder to think what the israeli soldiers are getting away with in the Gaza strip to their elderly, women and babies…

  13. You harvest what younplant.

  14. If you can't see it's all about war dollars you're a disgusting pod just like 'Seinfeld said! ๐ŸŽ‰

  15. Sorry Yousef, no more tears left for your rhetoric. Pathetic words from the perpetual victim. Fly back home to Gaza and stand with your people.

  16. No need to worry about Palestinians as god is protecting them, they told me so.

  17. Hey yousef munayyer, talk to us about shani louk, and her dead body with hamas parading her and Palestinians spitting on her dead body.

  18. yes, fair publicity from mainstream channel is what we want to witness, there's so much portion from Israel sides that Gaza humanitarian crisis. do not hate Palestinian if you hate Hammas. all Human is Equal, there's no country or people that superior's than other.

  19. Be careful, there are 150 humans on the Strip.

  20. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ the average family that just wants to live a peaceful life where there homes are…. shall not suffer at the hands of the devils. God please save the innocent ๐Ÿ™ Amen

  21. So Israel was providing fuel and electricity and Gaza said thank you by firing rockets. It's almost as if Gaza bit the hand that was feeding them.

  22. I'm supposed to feel bad for them for breeding like ants in a place that the UN considers "unlivable."

  23. We heard this trope in all of the previous attacks by Hamas and the retaliation, which forced Israel to make a truce and maintain the status quo.
    Enough, not this time.
    Israel must ignore this human whatever and keep going until Hamas is gone , and perhaps taking over Gaza and imposing martial law

  24. What did the idiots think? They will be rewarded๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  25. Spare us your Palestinian SOB stories….go complain to Hamas. Civilized world at this point has no sympathy for idiots ๐Ÿ˜‚…

  26. Sounds like foreign DEAMOCRATS

  27. Then they should go to where they get their weapons Egypt and not come back to Israel.

  28. NO TIME TO BE A MUSLEM !!!

  29. Did the people in Gaza question why this situation happened? What decisions the citizens made led to this? Are they questioning the leaders they elected on the actions they took that led to this tragedy befalling them?

  30. Are they still dancing and celebrating ?

  31. WHO came over the borders first?๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿ’”โ€ผ๏ธ

  32. Hello beheaded babies?????๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”โ€ผ๏ธ

  33. What the American ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ people and the world ๐ŸŒŽ donโ€™t know and understand is that America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ the British, the Europeans took Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ to give it a homeland for the Jewish people who were persecuted in Europe , then America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ uses Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ as an advanced military base to bully Arab nations , support Tyrants to keep them in power for itโ€™s vital interests which sadly keep the Palestinians under occupation , oppression , starvation , deprived of their basic rights to a decent life , Palestinians have been suffering under the occupation since 1948 , they were promised their statehood after the Oslo peace accord in 1995 however Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ has always refused to abide by the international laws , keep 7500 political prisoners , Children , men and women , destroying Palestinians homes ๐Ÿก to build new settlements for the Jewish immigrants from Europe and America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Gaza is blockaded which is an act of war , Israelโ€™s army mistreat Palestinians in their homes ๐Ÿก in the check points etc and I can still go on , all this done โœ… with the US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ support ( weapons , planes โœˆ๏ธ, cash ๐Ÿ’ฐ taxe payers )
    However when the Palestinians fight back theyโ€™re terrorists .
    Who gave the US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ government the right to call Hamas terrorist ?
    Why the US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ mingle in the Arab world ๐ŸŒŽ affairs ?
    Why the US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ doesnโ€™t press Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ to stop ๐Ÿ›‘ their aggression, annexation of the Palestinian land ?
    The US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ has invaded Irak ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ and killed 1 million , causing 7 millions refugees and suffering of millions widows , orphans etcโ€ฆ
    Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ is our land , we will defend it till the end , the Zionists entity will be defeated just like the US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ was defeated in Afghanistan ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ .
    What was taken by force can only be recovered by force .

  34. "act with restrain and refrain from violence" …

    too late now for that, we've reached the threshold where no restrain is possible, until Hamas is entirely destroyed.

    After what Hamas did, we've trespassed the limit of compassion.

    People who live in Gaza voted for Hamas.

    There have a way out, they can flee to the Sinai, Israelis murdered by Hamas didn't have this choice

  35. I would like to see one Palestinian, just one who understands that the problem is not the Israelis or the settlers or anything else, the problem is that you have a group of people who are not in a good situation, who are then exploited by a terrorist organization to achieve what they really want, to see the murder and destruction of all Jews.

  36. Oh he wants resolve, that's what Isreal is doing.

  37. Hamas started this! They poked the Bear and now they have created more despair to their people.

  38. The size of DC and the amounts of funding is unlimited towards military operations $$$$)

  39. It is horrible tragedy what Palestinian civilians will face, but there is absolutely no one to blame but Hamas. They brought this on those people

  40. Blame Iran, Hamas not Israel.

  41. What is the definition of Consequence? Does the word exist in Hamas/Palestinian Language?

    Israel, come and teach them.

  42. Hamas is getting its own people killed.

  43. Tragic for everyone. Arabs are to blame.
