  1. It’s war time, Hamas attacked Israel, and using his family as human shields. But he is mad at us for not doing enough. How about blame Hamas?

  2. Egypt needs to open that crossing so foreigners can get out.

    That poor family.

  3. I'm so very sorry to hear about this horrible trauma for this family. 🙏

  4. UN🇺🇳 & USA🇺🇸 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.

  5. Americans are free to do what they want.
    But if they choose to go to Gaza, they have to accept the consequences of there decision.

  6. All we are saying….. is give PEACE a chance!!
    ☮🕊

  7. So it's not an open-air prison or a concentration camp. Huh. Whodathunkit.

  8. Horrible 😢😢😢 why are people in gaza seen as garbage ? We are human

  9. Not a single question about the interviewee's opinion of Hamas. Has the media forgotten already? I'd like to believe that Palestinians want only to live their lives, will be happy when Hamas is gone, and don't support the terrorist charter vowing to drive all Israelis into the sea, but how will we know if the media don't ask the questions? How do we know that this isn't the same situation as in Afghanistan, where the Taliban are the Afghans and the Afghans are the Taliban?

  10. The oppressive Israel is a fanatical Zionist entity based on war crimes, genocide, displacement and the Nakba. Israel is supported by the world and is trying to get rid of the remaining Palestinians, orphans, bereaved and widows. Israel has distorted the face of the world that claims civilization and humanity. Israel’s decisions are superior to the United Nations’ resolutions combined. It is natural for it to view the Palestinians as human animals and slaves whose status is less than that of humans.

  11. When everyone was told to leave they should of

  12. Yes they have been left behind, treated as second class citizens and the state department since 20 days sending these stupid emails to them that the US government is making every efforts. Bla bla bla.
