Hamas is killing two nations: The first is its own nation, the local Arabic nation, and the second is the other nation, the Israeli Jewish nation.

Israel is a corrupt amoral nation,their nothing redemning about Israel

So the US has Israels back when it commits genocide? As usual.

Hamas is NOT going anywhere according to it's leadership,

"" We have every right and under international laws to defend our people, properties and ourselves from an invader and an Occupier.""

Israel must STOP the killing of Innocent women and children and fight Hamas and it's allies.

Israel's Revenge killings of the most vulnerable with starvation, the dropping 2000 pound bombs on refugees tents is as Ugly and Evil as it gets.

Isn't there some rule about endlessly copy-pasting the same comment?

How was October 7th a defensive action?

-4 ( +1 / -5 )

So genocide will just continue?

1 ( +5 / -4 )

J, Israel were attacking them before Oct 7,it was be the last

J, Israel were attacking them before Oct 7,it was be the last

No. Israel had completely pulled out of Gaza in 2005 and had dismantled all 21 of their settlements there. Also, Hamas targeted civilians on October 7th which is why I’ll ask again how was it defensive?

-6 ( +1 / -7 )

Jews have been attacking Palestinians,every since the day Israel was established,Jews were not in Palestine only as the West felt sorry and established Israel out of guilt,you know nothing about Jewish history,like me

Bibi is now fighting for his Political survivor, a new reports about a secret recordings of him talking about the drafting of the Orthodox Jews into the army has exposed his double faced and lies about the matter.

Bibi days are numbered now unless the recording is proven to be fake or false.

Palestinian Layer Ms. Diana Buttu stated during an interview on the Mehdi Hasan show, "" Israel failed to recognize is that we didn't come to Israel, we didn't Immigrate to Israel, Israel Came To Us.""

the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

Yanqui spooks and mercenaries earning vast sums from running the Zionist death camps. The Zionists have outsourced their genocide to the CIA.

GHF Interim Executive Director John Acree urged humanitarians in Gaza: "Work with us and we will get your aid delivered to those who are depending on it."

Why on earth is Reuters giving free advertising to concentration camp operators, whose involvement is vehemently opposed by the United Nations?

The only nation facing 100% starvation. If the bombs don’t get the Arabs, then diseases from weak immune systems will. Hell on Earth.

Jews? That’s anti-semitic. And no, Israel was attacked first after forming into a state. I do admire your confidence on speaking about things you’re so completely wrong about though

-5 ( +1 / -6 )

A ceasefire doesn’t hurt anyone.

The problem with aid is that all the free food sent to Gaza, meant to be distributed for free, has been confiscated by Hama, who make the people pay for it to finance and pay themselves.

The corruption is power.

J Bone...I will repost some of the attacks by Israel on Gaza since 2005

1/ 2006 Hamas wind Gaza election, Israel attacks Gaza and imposes blockade.

2/2008..Israel launches "Operation cast lead " on Gaza, killing around 1000 civilian non combatants

3/2012 ...Israel launches Operation "Pillar of Cloud "107 civilians killed.

4/2014 Israel launches Operation "Protective Edge "...1500 civilians killed

My book was published in 2015, so I assume more "Operation with Orwellian names " have been made since then.

And I would encourage people to examine what being under a total blockade entails.

4 ( +5 / -1 )

The US continues to be an accomplice to the genocide.

4 ( +5 / -1 )

2022 "Operation Breaking Dawn "....another Israeli attack on Gaza.

There is no shortage of information....every Israeli attack is disproportionate, kills non combatants in the hundreds or thousands, mainly women and little kids , usually fails to achieve any military objective and is therefore just a collective punishment on a people it deems inferior.

we didn't come to Israel, we didn't Immigrate to Israel, Israel Came To Us.

The Arabs came to the land in the 7th century AD, as part of the Arab/Muslim colonialist conquest of the Middle East, North Africa and beyond.

There are two nations in the land ever since, and they are both entitled to exist.

The whole globe is full of immigrants and descendants of immigrants, and they are all entitled to exist.

absolutely. But the exact thing can be said of the US as well.

How far back do we need to go? All people came from Africa, so technically they own the world.

It is Hamas which is committing genocide.

Hamas, with their mad plan of annihilating an entire other nation, are creating hell of Earth for both nations.

1/ 2006 Hamas wind Gaza election, Israel attacks Gaza and imposes blockade.

Yes, the implemented a blockade because a regime who was actively violent towards Israel and had a history of launching missiles into Israel took power. That’s justified

2/2008..Israel launches "Operation cast lead " on Gaza, killing around 1000 civilian non combatants

they launched cast lead because Hamas was launching rockets into Israel

3/2012 ...Israel launches Operation "Pillar of Cloud "107 civilians killed.

Again, happened AFTER increased rocket attacks into Israel

4/2014 Israel launches Operation "Protective Edge "...1500 civilians killed

Against, due to rocket attacks and the kidnapping of Israeli teens. Also the discovery of combat tunnels

Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorist.

Turn over the hostages and the US would have voted differently.

Hamas is a terror organization. People in Gaza know who is part of Hamas. They need to round up the Hamas people and hand them over to the Israelis.

Israel was attacked, just like Ukraine was attacked.

The UNGA voted yes for two states in 1947 (resolution 181). The state of Israel was then established, but the state of Palestine has never been established. Why? Because the extremist Arab nationalists wanted the entire land exclusively for themselves. They wanted to wipe out the other ethnic group, and they continue with this agenda ever since.

J Bone ....changing the goal posts is what you are doing.

The blockade was not a punishment IN RESPONSE to some Hamas action.

It was a deliberate attempt to control every aspect of anothers lives.

Why was "cummin ", the spice, banned from entry ?

Why sowing machines?

Theres a whole page on the mean, petty nastiness Israel got up to in banning certain things.

They banned baby chickens, for example.

They restricted calory intake, calculated this, to enable survival at the basest rate.

Read up on things .

2 ( +4 / -2 )

BTW the Israeli Human Rights Group BTSalem , has compiled a list of banned items by Israel during the blockade.

Fishing nets ? Yep.

And a restriction on how far out to sea boats could fish.

Personally, I am sick of educating people on the pro Israeli side.

J Bone ....changing the goal posts is what you are doing.

The blockade was not a punishment IN RESPONSE to some Hamas action.

First of all it’s “moving the goalposts”. Im not moving any goalposts lol Im giving you a reason as to why the blockade happened, which you always seem to ignore. It was a direct result of Hamas being elected, which was acting violently towards Israel. The blockade was an attempt to prevent Hamas from getting the materials they needed to build more rockets, which they had been firing into Israel. Do you even know what “moving goalposts” means?

Why was "cummin ", the spice, banned from entry ?

Because luxury items would be given to Hamas, encouraging them to continue on with hostile actions towards Israel.

So because you failed to respond to any of my reasons why Israel committed those actions, do you then admit that Hamas started the events that resulted in Israel’s retaliation?

Yes? Fishing nets are classified as “dual-use items” meaning they can be used to support militant activities.

Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorist.

The ends justify the means?

Hamas is a terror organization

It was funded and supported by Israel.

Gaza is stuck between a hard place and a rock. The Hamas scum who started this sick war, the corrupt Benjamin Nutty Yahoo who doesn't care for those Israeli hostages or for anybody, and the greedy Russian trump who wants to turn Gaza into another egocentric resort with his rotten despicable name on it.

As it is, with Traitortrump appointing that stooge Dorothy Shea as UN Ambassador says plenty. Since she is a lacky she has no right to say any veto or use any veto power whatsoever since she's trump's parrot and she needs to shut up. She has no opinion at all, and it's not valid!
