  1. In 2023 an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 0:27

  2. The Monster and the Mouth

    20.08.1990

    There are people in this world

    who try to stand apart

    with their group, their race or their creed.

    There are people in those groups

    who are adept in the art

    of rousing anger, hate, lust and greed.

    For talking is the weakness

    of the listening body

    and is the strength of the speaker.

    It doesn’t take much nouse

    to find a cause for a crowd

    when the people in the crowd are the weaker.

    Most of us have witnessed

    a bully at school

    or the drunk with the mouth in abuse.

    We’ve noticed how his ego

    intoxicates his rage

    and helps to set a monster on the loose.

    Other orators have led

    to civilized existence,

    they’ve set the goals and standards of our world.

    With inspired speeches

    they’ve hastened us to work

    and fight towards a freer life unfurled.

    If talking is the force

    behind our armies and our mobs,

    we must make a vital choice indeed.

    It rests on recognition

    of what is right and wrong

    and should not be carried by our pride or greed.

    But when through the years you have heard

    of all the cowardly deeds,

    of hostages and hijacking and bombs;

    when you hear of the innocent

    killed or threatened by some group,

    then on this earth that group does not belong.

    Our only hope, ….. this violence

    and these gross inhuman acts,

    can ever be restrained from taking place…

    is to be prepared and fight

    as we would fight disease ………….

    as we should fight to save the human race.

  3. Too Late Man
    You can go and convince them.

  4. There is something wrong with the pope !! Muslims will never coexist with others because the koran ask specifically from their followers to wipe out the Jews and kaffirs !!

  5. He needs to stop tonging children and promoting the opposite of the Bible !!!!

  6. Man watch out for this man because this man right here he is a false Prophecy

  7. Israelis became the nazis they touted as the devil for so long

  8. Is God watchibg this pope make decisions for gays in Catholic church? Watch god bite him big time?

  9. Interesting choice of words by the godfather of pedophile protecters… “harvest”…sounds more like language a satanic priest would use to attribute those murdered as offerings to lucifer. Though as horrible as it is, still pales in comparison to the exponentially more “appalling harvest” that the catholic church carried out with their inquisitions & “holy” crusades.

  10. The Pope is irrelevant

  11. O please. The pope? Hes the biggest terrorest of ALL!

  12. Guy with funny hat who sits on throne calls for peace. Like anyone cares

  13. The pope says that Israel and Palestine should make up and be friends. Oh… Ok… Nobody ever thought of that before. Wish the thousands of dead people thought of that before they got involved in a never-ending blood feud genocide., IF Biden didn't exist the pope would be the most useless person on earth..

  14. Well maybe Hamas shouldn't of flown in and killed babies

  15. You cant call for same sex blessing and peace. You dont exist in this realm so sit your butt down and read the actual word of your God!

  16. Tell him to get real and stop his hypocrisy
    He is not afraid of God but he is afraid of losing popularity and money
    He knows that Israel is oppressor and Palestine is suffering clear genocide and atrocities and injustices, like he knows for sure that Jesus, is not the son of God and it’s a made up story by his gang

  17. I think the libs have forgotten who started this war in Israel. And I think the Pope is the anti-christ.

  18. Yeah, which Pope was friendly with the Nazis? I could look it up but this religion I was born into, makes me ill, for ALL the harm it has caused for CENTURIES! Any of us can follow so-called Christian tenets, ya know, just choosing to be as good as we can, as kind as we can, and remember other people have agendas, too. Save me from these organized religions-muslims, do you hear me?

  19. If Jesus himself were on earth and called for peace between them well it STILL WOULD NOT HAPPEN..to much hate to many years

  20. Muslims and Jews could give 2 shits what the pope has to say and honestly, coming from a former catholic myself, I could care less as well

  21. The Pope is an apostate. He does not represent our Lord.
    He can decry weapons of death by disbanding his own Vatican police and use the church treasury for the faithful and their suffering.

  22. Nobody cares what you call for. This Pope is evil.

  23. Pope Francis has as much discernment into Good vs. Evil as Pope Pius XII aka "Hitler's Pope" had. Pius, who celebrated Hitler's birthday, kept quiet about "the Jewish question" in part because, as a papal adviser wrote, "the Jews … tend to easily exaggerate" (The Vatican & the Holocaust: Pope Pius XII & the Holocaust). Nice one, Vatican.

    Or, as Farmer Yassir memorably said in National Lampoon's Lemmings, a Festival of Peace, Love, and Death, "Long hair, short hair, what the hell's the difference once the head's blowed off?"

    Yo, Francis, there's a difference. Read up on your foreFather Pius XII and get a clue.

  24. Amazing the amount of Catholics not listening to the pope. He is your voice of god and you don’t listen. I don’t understand that

  25. We catholics find this POPE a unbelievable embarrassing example of the leader of our church. He needs to shut up and go away. He is why people are leaving the church.

  26. Who cares what the poop says

  27. Pope Francis is the false prophet for these end times as Revelation tells us.

  28. Møssad ended multiple popes. JP1 started looking into Vatican Bank and was ☠️, JP 2 was 🔫 by a patsy like Bobby Kennedy, B16 was force retired when the Vatican's banking was shut off and pedo scandals were released in the news. Francis must not have much time left.

  29. Now the Pope says something?

  30. You gotta love how USA today compared one day October 7 with one day yesterday attacks because there’s been much more than one day of attack by Israel. This is how they fool you – your subconscious mind with language beware of the media.

  31. The beast calling for peace!

  32. Yeah let’s stop getting rid of people that want to kill us. Kinda like now the pope lets gays get church blessings but not divorcees? Could be the anti christ.

  33. "You have no power here…"

  34. The real “appalling harvest” are the MILLIONS of well intentioned people that are in hell now because of the UNBIBLICAL teachings of Roman Catholicism. Millions more still sit in their congregations are headed to the same place. Sad but true.

  35. People calling a ceasefire on an issue where that is impossible. I don't like it. This conflict wil only end with either israel holsing the holy land and lilling most of palestine until the land is secured, or the the phrase, "from the river to the sea" becomes reality. Both sides are sp diametrically opposed compromise really isnt an option anymore.

  36. The Dragon calling for peace is asinine

  37. The same catholic energy beheaded how many people?

  38. Isn’t he from Argentina?
    Didn’t thousands of Nazis move there at the end of the war to hide and start over………
    🤔

  39. Pope Francis about to be cancelled—- (but he is right)

  40. Hamas started this and they could end it, while their billionaire leaders sit comfy in high rises in Saudi Arabia.

  41. So glad he had time out of the thousands of unresolved child sex crimes.

  42. This is the height that public relations can't climb…. hey propagandist , we all know that isn't a pope any more than Biden is ordering the u.s. military to do anything… these cold war puppet positions are already blown. We know … now go back to writing about how gay everyone is … lmao what a joke .

  43. Pope is evil and the Catholic religion is a farce

  44. THE POPE IS IN ON IT ????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
