"It's not okay to go into people's houses and hold them hostage." HOLY FUCK the irony is lost on them. This is done every day in the West Bank. And everyday across Palestine since 1947
They didn't care about LIVING hostages, now they care more about the ones that passed away - probably killed them with their bombing.
What kind of deranged monster punishes everyone by halving the amount of food and aid going through bc H group lost track of the bodies. Who wouldn't lose those bodies, if they too were being bombed to oblivion? Maybe the bodies were under the ruble and there's so much rubble. Israel is the lowest of low.
JUST STOP IT!!! IZRAHELL KILLED THEIR OWN HOSTAGES!!! LET THE FOOD,WATER & MEDICINE IN!!!
Remember when they were pretending that they were letting in all the aid they could? Now they're just flat-out saying "we're only allowing half"?
Still using humanitarian aid as a weapon of war.
Its time the USA and Israel follow world law The world populations are fed up with these leaders and their policies The world is watching
Great guest speaker and good to get his thoughts and opinions on the huge subject of Israel and Palestine It was also interesting to note the released Israeli hostage Liat's comment in the documentary.. "it's not okay to go into someone's house and hold them hostage".. isn't that the height of bullshit coming from an Israeli settler who happens to be living in the stolen house or stolen land grabbed violently from a poor Palestinian?? Is that too much to ask her to comment on what Israel has done since 1948..?? Hamas has basically imitated Israeli tactics in every aspect.. and their atrocities are also about 5-10% atrocities committed by Israel!! This is out there in the public for the whole world to see 😢😢
Why isn't everyone talking about the Palestinian bodies that came back zip tied and with gunshot wounds? Seems like an execution to me, and there were OVER 40 RECEIVED?! WHAT?!
Thank you Amy ❤
