  1. The notion of "peace" is the weapon used by US gov to repress other nations. The mentality of "An Eye For An Eye" being used by both terror groups is profitable to USA aiding the Zionist fundamentalists quest for the "promised land," an inescapable war waged against Palestinian's. Same as a Jihadist dies for a cause, the Zionists live for theirs cause by destroying all others or Gentiles, even their supporters, with pious adherence to belief that only the "chosen people" or Jews have rights and value in gods eyes. Zionists infiltrate the gov of powerful nations by pay-offs. In the USA only lobbyists are heard by congress where lies and propaganda perpetuate corruption while they get their payments back from allotted tax dollars that should instead be used for the citizens.

  3. Israel will reap some ugly karma for its sins against Palestinian children and women… but why? I can very well imagine what their reasoning is but it is monstrous to do this. There aren't enough condolences than could be given to the parents losing their kids to these monsters. Is anything being done to help these kids, to remove them from this situation?

  4. In the shadow of oppression, where innocence meets despair,

    A 9-year-old soul silenced, the weight of injustice to bear.

    Jenin, a canvas stained with the hues of tragedy,

    Zionist soldiers' gunfire, a brutal symphony.

    A child's laughter extinguished, a friend of fifteen years,

    Innocence betrayed, drowned in a river of tears.

    Oh, the callous hands that pulled the trigger,

    An unforgiving act, a crime that grows bigger.

    In the alleys of sorrow, where hope finds its grave,

    The echoes of gunfire, a cry that cannot save.

    A 9-year-old's dreams shattered, like glass on cold stone,

    A blatant crime against humanity, seeds of hatred sown.

    Indifferent eyes captured the horror they unleashed,

    A grotesque display, humanity breached.

    Accountability, justice, demand our relentless plea,

    For those who wield power, bear the weight of responsibility.

    International silence, a grave accomplice,

    To the atrocity in Jenin, we cannot dismiss.

    The world must rise, speak in one voice,

    Against the oppressor's choices.

    Horrifying images etched in our minds,

    A child's life lost, humanity it blinds.

    Independent eyes must uncover the truth,

    Expose the perpetrators, the embodiment of ruth.

    Human rights institutions, voices of conscience,

    Stand firm against the oppressor's pretense.

    Barbaric actions, we cannot condone,

    In the face of injustice, we stand alone.

    Let the call echo in the halls of power,

    Children are not pawns in the game of the hour.

    An international outcry, a united demand,

    To protect the innocent, draw a line in the sand.

    For every child lost, a collective responsibility,

    To halt the brutality, restore humanity.

    May the world unite against this vicious tide,

    In the name of justice, let compassion be our guide.

  5. Israel is being condemned to a dark future by its leaders. Israelis will be isolated from the free world. What is happening is not at the wish of most Jewish people but purely driven by a minority of zealot warmongers.

  6. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Russians has killed 504 children, and injured 1.6k. and understandably most people think this is bad.
    Israel is responsible for the deaths of 6 thousand children so far. The war in Ukraine has been going on for one year and nine months, so if you extrapolate those figures you get 63000k.😢
    I know its an ad homonym, but Vanessa is a moron, how she ever managed to get back into television work is beyond me. I would say she must be bursting with cognitive dissonance. But i think that requires at least two brain cells.

  7. The Muslim world need to get Christians on their side. The west will change its mind when they realise the Jews have also been persecuting Christians in Israel. The Jews did not allow Christians to return to their home when the state of Israel was founded, Christians and Arabs were kicked out of Israel by the Israeli terrorist group during the beginning of the state and Christians are persecuted there to this day. The west doesn't know the history of the state. I don't think the Christian west will want to continue to send aid to Israel when they realise how much Israeli's hate Christians.

  8. If they are in Israel’s custody then they will at least LIVE! While I understand they may be temporarily uncomfortable but are SAFE (not tortured & possible die in near future!) vs staying where they are killed at war!! It is inevitable to be caught in the cross fire realistically. I can guarantee Israeli is not proud or happy of such a situation:( They will taste freedom eventually without Hamas leadership!!

  9. THEN WARSAW GHETO TODAY GAZA GHETO, THEN GERMAN NAZIS AND FASHISTS TODAY ISRAELI NAZIS AND FASHISTS, THEN JEWS WERE THE VICTIMS TODAY PALESTINIANS ARE THE VICTIMS, THEN JEWISH HOLOCAUST TODAY PALESTINIAN HOLOCAUST. ISRAEL HASN'T LEARNED FROM THEIR OWN HISTORY. THEN THE WORLD STOOD UP FOR THE VICTIMS TODAY THE WORLD KEEPS SILENT. SHAME ON THE WORLD AND LETTING THIS HOLOCAUST HAPPENING.
