  1. The American media is an accomplice in war crimes, and you will pay the price for your bias in the future. The disgusting morals of the white man

  2. Your Channels its job is spreading lies without evidence or propaganda. You can see clearly that Israel is killing people and you are circulating about who to blame for that today is Hamas. tomorrow maybe Palestinian killed themselves. Wooow you are creative in lying ๐Ÿ˜‚

  3. The European/British people have committed the most violence, murders, and theft on this earth than any other groups of people. They conquer, steal, murder, divide and dictate and give what they do not want to other Europeans and British freely without any conscience, very animal like behaviors. You must wonder WHY Caucasian people were born and WHY they murder, steal, and commit atrocities? Always WHY do Europeans and British people live off from stolen land, resources, and murder people? All they have ever done from the time of their existence caused sufferings and continuously cause suffering with NARCISTITICS mindset and purpose. The European and British have killed and stolen land, resources from all the 6 continents. North America, Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa.

  4. Not terrorists but just standing up for their people which are being oppressed for decades.
    Revolutionaries are not terrorists.
    Same as che Guevara

  5. Hamas clearly recognizes that it's inhumane to take hostages. If it's humanitarian to release hostages, then what is it when you continue to hold hostages.

  6. Humanitarian reason? What happened in Israel?

  7. "I will BLESS them that bless thee, and CURSE him that curseth thee: an in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed" Genesis 12:3

  8. Listen up people!!!!Let me explain something when THE HAMAS take American hostage they become insurance policy used as BARGINING CHIP AS CONFLICT EVOLVES NEVER GO ONTO ANOTHER COUNTRY THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO BE SAFE YOU ARE TAKING A RISK!!!!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ THIS IS THE TRUTH NOT A JOKE IT VERY SCARY TO GO INTO ANOTHER COUNTRY NOT KNOWN WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF DOING

  9. The reason is to convinced US to talk to Israel to have ceasefire that's so basic.. Hope Palestinian people learned a lesson never let terrorists governed your city or they just put into that situation where they have no choice but to obey.. Sad fact..

  10. I guess the 100million dollars from America is the reason.

  11. For HAMAS TO ATTEMPT TO PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS HUMANITARIAN IS TRULY SICKENING, THEY ARE TERRORISTS PURE AND SIMPLE.

  12. Humanitarian reasons ๐Ÿ˜‚

  13. Jewish refugees entered ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ด in 1947, with banner proclaimed :

    "GERMANS DESTROYED OUR FAMILIES AND HOMES"
    "DON'T YOU DESTROY OUR HOPES"

    After 76 years, in 2023 :

    "WE ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ DESTROY YOUR FAMILIES AND HOMES"
    "WE ARE DESTROYING YOUR HOPES"

    Release all prisoners and hostages immediately. Sign this treaty for peace. UN and Hamas agree to do this then this treaty must be signed today. Send hostages near to nearest refugee and later send the prisoners. This will take a few days only. There must not be any more demands about anything else as that can be later discussed with UN mediation. This is the right way ahead after all return to their countries safely.
