I want to stick to the plan of bringing joy to minimum one human per day, maybe it helps to let you know Amazons AMK33X is fully available. If it helped let me know
What impressed me most is Amazons AMK33X brings all of humanity more forward than what we had in 40 years
More need to understand what Amazon did with AMK33X a few words on that pls?
This deal is so horrendous, it smells like Biden and the Obama JCPOA retreads bullied it on the Israelis.
I can't wait for Biden to struggle reading through his notecards as he takes full credit for this. Let's get back to Jan 6th and Trump. Enough is enough
Just a reminder that your favorite source for information MSLSD…..completely forgot that it was thanksgiving yesterday.
No health issues from the white phosphorus Bibi subjected them to?
Msnbc is too stupid to block The Word Amazon on the channel.
Joseph Stalin Biden
Fascist bidens army of illegal grifters, getting better taken care of than homeless Americans. In communist blue’s northern cities. Genius move republicans. Fascist blue voters, changing their vote
You lie…but people can translate what is written…
The hostages are fine..
What about other prisoners from the other side…. they have been in prison for 17 yeaes?
What about the 14800 who were murdered? What are we going to do with with them? Killers should be prosecuted in a wae crimes court??

RELEASED ZIONIST HOSTAGES can no LONGER be reTAKEN by HAMAS, but RELEASED PALESTINIANS can be reARRESTED and DETAINED by the ZIONIST WAR CRIMINALS immediately. They happened in the PAST. TERRORISTS are not MEN OF HONOR. ISIS ON STEROIDS. Released PALESTINIANS should be UNDER the WATCH of UN BODY or any INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION as to their STATUS and WHEREABOUTS after RELEASE. Anyone who DECIDES to JOIN / reJOIN HAMAS, will be a FOREGONE CONCLUSION. All the REST, specially CHILDREN and WOMEN should be PROTECTED of their CIVIL and HUMAN RIGHTS.
It's a SHAM to say that the ZIONIST REGIME is a DEMOCRACY. NO, NO, NO. IMPRISONMENT or DETENTION without DUE PROCESS is ILLEGAL. In fact, ILLEGAL DETENTION especially those exceeding 24 HOURS carry a HEAVY PENALTY under DEMOCRATIC LAWS. Therefore, the ZIONIST REGIME is not a DEMOCRACY. It's an AUTHORITARIAN REGIME, not much DIFFERENT from any COUNTRY under a DICTATORSHIP. In fact, they DETAIN not only LIVING PEOPLE but even the DEAD BODY of a DETAINEE till the END of their so-called 'SENTENCES'. Even CHILDREN in SCHOOL UNIFORMS with LITTLE BACKPACKS are not SPARED from DETENTION. It was already a ROGUE STATE, even before it became a TERROR STATE. It is a SH^THOLE COUNTRY.
248 years to grow and develop into a great nation,
and one knucklehead takes less than 3 years to flush it all down the toilet.
Palestine vs Israel rap battle 👍🏼

Israel’s 55-year occupation of Palestinian Territory is apartheid – UN human rights expert

President of Human Rights Council appoints Members of Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel
GENEVA (25 March 2022) – A UN expert called today on the international community to accept and adopt the findings in his current report, echoing recent findings by Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights organisations, that apartheid is being practiced by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory.
“There is today in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967 a deeply discriminatory dual legal and political system that privileges the 700,000 Israeli Jewish settlers living in the 300 illegal Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank,” said Michael Lynk, the UN Special Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.
“Living in the same geographic space, but separated by walls, checkpoints, roads and an entrenched military presence, are more than three million Palestinians, who are without rights, living under an oppressive rule of institutional discrimination and without a path to a genuine Palestinian state that the world has long promised is their right.
“Another two million Palestinians live in Gaza, described regularly as an ‘open-air prison’, without adequate access to power, water or health, with a collapsing economy and with no ability to freely travel to the rest of Palestine or the outside world.”
The Special Rapporteur said that a political regime which so intentionally and clearly prioritizes fundamental political, legal and social rights to one group over another within the same geographic unit on the basis of one’s racial-national-ethnic identity satisfies the international legal definition of apartheid.
“Apartheid is not, sadly, a phenomenon confined to the history books on southern Africa,” he said in his report to the Human Rights Council. “The 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court came into law after the collapse of the old South Africa. It is a forward-looking legal instrument which prohibits apartheid as a crime against humanity today and into the future, wherever it may exist.”
Lynk said that Israel’s military rule in the occupied Palestinian territory has been deliberately built with the intention of enduring facts on the ground – primarily through settlements and barricades – to demographically engineer a permanent, and illegal, Israeli sovereign claim over occupied territory, while confining Palestinians in smaller and more confined reserves of disconnected land.
This has been accomplished in part through a long-standing series of inhuman(e) acts by the Israeli military towards the Palestinians that have been integral to the occupation, he said. He pointed to arbitrary and extra-judicial killings, torture, the denial of fundamental rights, an abysmal rate of child deaths, collective punishment, an abusive military court system, periods of intensive Israeli military violence in Gaza and home demolitions.
Lynk said a number of recent reports and opinions issued by respected Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights organizations have come to the same conclusion on the practice of apartheid by Israel. He added that leading international personalities – including former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor and former Israeli Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair – have also all called this apartheid.
The Special Rapporteur said the international community bears much responsibility for this present state of affairs. “For more than 40 years, the UN Security Council and General Assembly have stated in hundreds of resolutions that Israel’s annexation of occupied territory is unlawful, its construction of hundreds of Jewish settlements are illegal, and its denial of Palestinian self-determination breaches international law,” he said.
“The Council and the Assembly have repeatedly criticized Israel for defying their resolutions. They have threatened consequences. But no accountability has ever followed. If the international community had truly acted on its resolutions 40 or 30 years ago, we would not be talking about apartheid today.”
To end the practice of apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territory, the Special Rapporteur called on the international community to assemble an imaginative and vigorous menu of accountability measures to bring the Israeli occupation and its apartheid practices in the occupied Palestinian territory to a complete end.

What's with all the Amazon spam comments?
Israel is flooding the comment section with spam.
Its a dark place we women go to when thinking about the women hostages. They will always be a hostage, captive of tortuous memory. 😢
This is a CLEAR DEMO of how the west doesn't look at Palestinians as humans.
There's no concern for Gazans lack of food, medicines, water and ongoing trauma – but all that matters is the Israelis wellbeing.
This is eye-opening!
Lack of vitamin D too. The hostages look terribly pale after being kept in those disgusting tunnels.
It is good to see that all of these vehicles involved in the reunification of the hostages are powered by fossil fuels. Thank goodness for CO2 and fossil fuels for contributing to the reunification of these hostages being returned to their families.
Shalom, Adonai-long live Israel ❤ all released hostages say they are in great health to family and media…Israel have the right to defend it self … live on …Al Jazeera English … better coverage on line live …. Families United again coming home happy.🎉🎉🎉
So… is Israel giving them lives back to them innocent women and children?
Meanwhile Palestinians still dying for the same circumstances .. all lives matter
I mean living in an area being constantly bombed for 40 days straight with no food or electricity would probably traumatize everyone there
ripped rectums aint fun
Thats Israel fault for shutiting off the water idiots!
How about a story on JFK J and Southern Border.
Did forget about Biden war Ukraine mess?
You didn't care about the vax giving people potential health issues just saying mainstream media
Lies. They were treates really good. They said it on israeli televisions ! Stop fake news
