  1. I have many Jewish friends and business associates. Im not aware of all the issues.but can Israel compensate the rebels by renting or buying the disputed land rather than just taking it .its cheaper than war

  2. If you and your family had been fetching water from the same well for generations and then told that you couldn't, what would you do?
    Our backing of israel would be like if in 70 years we backed Russia to put down Ukranians for wanting to take back the lands that they now occupy.

  3. Really going to believe what the CIA says? Did you really think they're just talkin on radios? Is there VPN encryption that can be perfectly DECIPHERED AND UNDERSTOOD? Can AI determine who is telling the truth? Can AI tell lies? Can anyone tell me why the conservative voice is being CENSORED? IF ONLY THE layman could follow the money! Jacob and Esau?

  4. What about the insurgents coming across our Southern border possibly our northern border? Over 90% are young males. ARE THEY INSURGENTS JUST WAITING FOR ARMS AND ACTIVATION???

  5. Hamas asserts that Israel's existence is inherently illegitimate and rejects the Israeli–Palestinian peace process. It advocates the creation of an Islamic state over the combined territory of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.. so whats Israel supposed to do

  6. It doesn't make sense. Why would Hamas attack first? Gaza is small. Just one storm of missile from Israel and many people will die.
    Also, it was said in the video that, "Israel intelligence knows when a Hamas goes from the bedroom to the bathroom". Why didn't stop the attack before it happened? Why bomb an entire region?
    Also, attacking to disrupt peace treaty? Attacking Israel at that time would make the peace treaty to be making more sense. Did they want to show the Saudis, that their fellow Muslims died because of return fire? There is no way the Saudis would chew that idea. Are leaders of Hamas tripping? Or is there something else at play here? It just doesn't make sense to me. It's like Indonesia trying to attack USA. We'll get wiped out with just a sneeze of the US forces.

  7. The religious conflict in between them is hard. What both sides believe are so different that it is hard to come to an end. They are separate with a barrier. I understand Palestine and Israel. However, what the Hamas is doing is not acceptable. This is not moral. Killing innocent foreigners and babies. Is that something to cheer for. Like think. Do the Hamas want their family who is overseas suddenly getting killed? No. They have to express themselves in an area until they are limited. They have to know how to control their opinions towards society. We are not like those wild animals who bump their heads to get land. We are people who have the ability to express themselves in a way that won’t hurt others. We have to cross the line. Not only one person is living here. Everyone needs to keep the limits. Unless Hamas is not a human, it has stop before global society turns its back totally. My heart hurts everyday for the precious families getting separated. I hope that peace will come back and harmony between global society will create.

  10. Wow 9/11 moment seen again monkey see monkey do. Bound to the boss like a snake in the grass. When will people ever Learn. My heart goes out to the children of Palestine who’s been bullied and abused far longer than what any one in the west could ever imagine and still have the courage to stand up for their selfs. May god bless each and every one of you.

  11. Same reason the neoconservatives attacked America stole billions of $ of gold commuted mass murder n mass fraud n then took away the rights of its citizens n invaded many countries under this pretence. Saudi sold out its people years ago israel wants masjid Aqsa to come down so tht they may build the 3rd temple so tht they may crow. Their moshiache. All of this is designed by Israel n both sides barring those tht are not in the know are in on it. Ask how this was even possible? Israel gt attacked on several fronts.. this is y killemyahoo was brought back in I said as much the minute he was back in.. there’s no dog like a loyal dog. Thecwirld mustn’t fall for this lie they got away with 911 a domestic in-house attack thiscwhats happening in Israel is the exact same thing . The people of the world mustn’t fall for this.. all of this is just so tht masjid Aqsa may be brought down.. it’s as simple as tht.
