Free Palestine. Your words have no effect on us. We see beyond your deceit and lies.

[@Man_fay_the_Bru]

Bllx, you can’t see past your own draconian religion🤫

[@zainsyed9811]

"deathtoll would have been in the thousands..." ...sounds exactly what you are doing to Gaza.

[@bettymulders7641]

Well , my information is that Hamas attacked Israel, a legal country. They built no good society for their people but a battlefield under the ground connected with all the buildings on the ground. They want to destroy Israel, they are nazis, that is the only good word for them . Their “ brave” leaders live in Quatar, and they do not want to be “ martyrs” that is good enough for their people , that’s why they build no shelters for them and use them as human shield.

Don't the israel defence force use Palestinians people as human shields

[@haraldgundersen7303]

[@lisbethgiverhaug9513]

Why??? Because they protect their land and people from enemies so violent you can not even imagine it. Israel is regarded as the little satan and USA is the big satan. Do you really think the terror can not reach you also? Lisbeth

[@kimmnguni]

Like the death and destruction in Gaza?

[@noorg2186]

Just end the war in Gaza let peace prevail otherwise you be giving nonstop press statements with no end of mayhem….

[@Neil-yh8uu]

I ain't really bothered But if I'd had someone taken hostage I'd want them back before any ceasefire War is war Let me put it this way If you have children and someone came in to your home killed and kidnapped your children and spouse what would you do ? Take away the religious part of it and look at it humanely in the USA and some other countries they'd face the death penalty without a shadow of doubt How many politicians from how many countries was there last week the UK,USA ,some european to try strongarming Israel into a ceasefire with hammas and then for hezbollah to target Israel Religious conflict are the worst especially when both sides are conservative in their beliefs no one wants to surrender zealots will always want to carry on fighting till the last person

The attack resulted in a massacre, in which 12 civilians, four of them female and eight male, were killed, with all the documented victims, as of this moment, being children. Another 36 people, mostly children, were also injured in the attack, some critically, while the site and surrounding area were heavily damaged. 0:47

Whoever does proxy/consultancy work for Iran, no matter whether Hezbolla, Hamas, Huthis or Iraqi militia, the biggest loser will be Iran . The new President is an intelligent man and he knows the importance of enriching Uranium and the resultant aims as far as Iranian defense/offence capabilites are concerned.

The spirit of the Anti-Christ controls these people attacking Israel. I pray for all who are walking in darkness, for their eyes to be open to the Truth of Christ Jesus 🙏🏼. Please don’t let your hearts be hardened, come back to the Lord God Almighty, God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, thru the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God! No one will come to the Father, except thru the son ✌🏽❤️🙏🏼🕊️✝️

[@NewMilleniumDawn]

What countries? Lebanon has the highest percentage of Christians living in the middle east (40% of the population), higher than Israel. Hezbollah isn't the whole coutry.

[@SurfahSistah]

@@NewMilleniumDawn Praise God for His presence there, may it be His Will to bring in more brothers and sisters in Christ thru out the region. I changed it to people as this is more appropriate. Praying for the Lord’s mercy to be evident in all and His great appearance to come soon 🙏🏼❤️

[@NewMilleniumDawn]

@SurfahSistah Well it would also help if Israel stopped illegally taking land from internationally recognised Palestinian lands and putting illegal settlers there (even the US condems it but does nothing), but hopefully everyone stops escalating.

[@Ronjon8654]

Your statement is exactly opposite what is truth

[@SurfahSistah]

@@Ronjon8654 I will stay firmly grounded in the Truth of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Anything else, is from the evil one. I pray for the Lord to reveal Himself to you that you also shall believe, in Jesus name, Amen.
