  1. UN🇺🇳 must end Israel occupation in West Bank & Golan. UK🇬🇧 responsible in Palestine conflict. Balfour declaration issued by UK (1917), which announced for establishment "national home for jewish people" in Palestine. At that time, Palestine was teritory Ottoman Empire & jews in Palestine were still Minority.

  2. There not worried Israel has no chance of winning urban warfare

  3. It is attitudes like this NBC that delay the peace process.

    You are not strategists, political strategists, or even legal strategists.
    Do the Zombie American audience you have a favor and stick to puff pieces about "Mermaiding" because for War you are only good for Propaganda 🃏

  4. Headlines of Arab newspapers
    *Cyanide gas is an Israeli lie that exposes itself… and weapons of mass destruction are not in Gaza
    *"Isolating Gaza"… The communications and Internet conditions are dangerous in the Strip after the Israeli raids
    *Tarek Fahmy: Successive American administrations dealt negatively with the Palestinian issue with double standards.
    *Kirby: We want to see a safe passage for the Americans to leave Gaza… and we do not impose conditions on Israel regarding the ground attack.
    * Broad Western support for Israel since the start of the war on Gaza
    *Jamal Zaqout: Netanyahu seeks to mislead Israeli society and evade judicial accountability in corruption cases
    *Israel announces Hamas' intention to release 50 detainees holding foreign passports. Will the deal work? What is the return?

  5. The weakness of the Biden administration is responsible for this war and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia! All Biden cares about is confusing children on gender and letting the border get overran.

  6. What do you get when a shark dresses up like a U.S. President for Halloween? Jaws Washington

  7. Of course, all combatants posturing for effect.

  8. Of course its a tactic (not a strategy) designed to delay Israeli invasion and gives Hamas more time to prepare. It is also designed to inflict more terror in the form of psychological damage to hostages and their families.

  9. Of course that's what it is
