  6. As if the Israeli government needs the US or it's allies to tell them this. Just keep sending them military and save your finger at what their doing. It's pathetic…

  8. The US publicly expresses concern for the refugees, but behind the scenes, to Israel, it's like "don't mind us, that was PR".

  9. So that the humanitarian crisis is averted, this is Egypt's opportunity to do the right thing and open the border to hundreds-of-thousands of refugees from Rafah. Same applies to Qatar and the other Gulf States.

  10. For those of the US who are inclined towards giving Joe Biden a political kicking this 2024, they need to tread lightly and be mindful that if they enable Trump to get re-elected, many of them stand to be deported for being insufficiently American, when they get Trump and all that comes with his Stalinist reign of terror. Is to have the back of Hamas really worth it ??

  12. Well, they supported Hamas and Hamas attacked their neighbors 😛

    They allowed Hamas to rule Gaza after overthrowing the established democratic system…

  13. Gutierrez is the most hypocrite leader I hv ever seen. He is so loud about Gaza like that’s the only refugee problem in this world. God will always win

  15. Why are you not mentioning that the imagery filmed in Gaza is only filmed under Hamas supervision? You should be making that fully transparent.

    These are propaganda images meant to evoke feelings in us and do not represent the actual full reality in Gaza.

  20. The true is that NOBODY wants them. None of the Arab league countries, no their neighbours Egypt and Jordan expelled them, so did Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria etc BECAUSE of their TERRORIST activities in those countries.
