  1. I hope all hostages are treated properly and humanely. But something is confusing: he graduates in the USA and volunteers to join the armed forces of another country? Is he an American? Where do his loyalties truly lie. We are a democracy, NOT a theocracy like all the 'countries' in the mideast. Democracies build safe societies not theocracies.

  2. Now you feel the thousands of Palestinians in the Zionists' prisons?
    Now you feel them IDIOTS?

  3. Ask them, how they was treated by HAMAS. What Hamas feed them???

  4. Truly, Who wants to be on the narcissist serial butcher Netanyahu’s side? Did you ever report about the 5500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons? Did you ever raise the question of killing hundreds of innocent Palestinians on the West Bank where Hamas doesn’t exist. Did you ever ask about confiscation of Palestinian homes and Lands, nonstop. Did you ever ask any questions about Israel murdering 1800 Palestinians in GAZA 2006? Did you ever ask why God never ever mentioned a country by the name of Israel? When a channel is only showing the suffering of one side of a conflict, then you should know it’s not a trust worthy News Media.

  5. Not our war…Biden is giving money to terrorists again…

  6. I have a Palestinian friend currently in itel he was pro Palestine until he was informed of what really happened to the other hostages. These 2 are far more lucky than they know. He is no longer pro Palestinian. Hamas HAS to go. Israel will do everything they can to do so bc they know the truth. The news is always behind. But now days most news channels lies which is messed up bc 20 years they didn’t bc they would have been held accountable. But whatever bless these 2 for being released in good health

    Hi , from ohio , hey
    Hey , from ohio , hi

  8. Praying for all the hostages 🙏 including Adon

  9. Biden is the worst president in foreign affairs. Pray they let the rest out.this station needs to tell the truth.

  10. 🔥Super cool vid and TY for breaking it down. I'm favoured, $15,000 weekly trade earnings even in this current economic downturn. So excited

  11. Praying for his safety

  12. Prayers for all the innocent people. Especially the thousands of Palestinian children being killed and in prison. Unbelievable..

  13. Can anyone tell me if disbelieving lies from the main stream media, and expressing one's opinion to that affect, is a violation of YouTube's terms of service agreement?

  14. Does anyone happen to know approximately how many innocent Palestinian children have been murdered in cold blood so far?

  15. If you go to video hosting platforms outside of YouTube and Google, you can find truthful videos which YouTube has censored.

  16. Can't believe yall fall for this smh…

  17. You should Tank to Qatar who are talking to Hamas and taling to them.

  18. Aren’t they Libanese American citizens –

  19. Let's just say there are certain parts of the world that just aren't worth seeing. The USA has it's problems with violence, but, not on this scale. Plenty of safe places to visit here. These extremist countries are all disasters waiting to happen. The USA should leave and let these animals sort this out. Both sides are acting like sub-human garbage at this point.

  20. What u mean there’s a hope ? Hamas got them in order to get them hostages back from Israeli prisons . So 100% they will be released . It’s the Israeli who don’t want them back . Stop the fight and let both sides hostages go back to them family

  21. Please enough with this released hostage story – its giving “missing white woman” media attention – we want what’s happening in Gaza- not these 2 European American zionists.

    GIVE US THE TRUE STORY ON HOW IDF BOMBED THE HOSPITAL IN GAZA USING ANERICAN WAR WEAPONS.

  22. Sending prayers to you.

  23. Democrats are funding both sides of the war

  24. Wait a minute I thought the all hostages got released,that's what I read on other channels on YouTube.you mean some people lied

  25. Don't count on Biden for anything!

  26. Turn off comments. People are too stupid to be allowed any print.

  27. And by americans they mean dual citizenship jews.
