  1. They cant live in peace,they try everything to create a hostile environment, if they are living in peacefull environment, it's starts making them nervous,and they do everything to destroy it and then cry victim….that's what peacefull community does around the globs

  2. You may find that some of those speaking out are hamas members, no one can differentiate between a hamas member and a citizen

  4. If You don't like what you see, the casualties, the distraction,, the poor poor "refugees" that's a bummer. This exactly how you behave towards beasts which conducted the massacre on October 7th. They're all to blame, dancing and cheering on the streets. There is no innocent population! 2M murderers and their supporters.

  15. There is no where else to go? except the other 899/900th of the Arab occupied lands of the Middle East, there are more hotel rooms in ARABIA ALONE THAN REFUGEES

  16. Israel is deliberately defying the ICJ and refuses to negotiate a lasting resolution: it's time for the West to take decisive action and intervene.

  17. The top 5 leaders of Hah Maaz are jet setting billionaires via money stolen from Palestinian Authority.

  20. The people of Gaza feel trapped in Gaza. They have been trapped there for a very very long time. Did we forget the hundreds of checkpoints and the chasing after and murdering little 8 year old children as they return from school with their satchels?

  24. The interviewed people are almost certainly hamas or Hamas supporters. I don’t think they let critical people speak to the press

  32. Palestinians feel trapped in Rafah. Yes, by Hamas because they want them to be human shields against the Israeli attack. The world now can see it but wont admit it.

  33. So you cry out gods name when your militants attack Israel now you cry out tear when Israel responds yep blame Israel for oct 7 peace festival attack right Palestine

  34. To the innocent Palestinians noncombatants Civilians don’t get paralyzed by fears, the earliest in sinks in your mind that the inevitable storming of Rafah is coming! Move and step aside from Rafah for it will be a battle ground like in Mosul when the coalition of US forces battle it out with ISIS for five months scorched earth total destruction. I watched the Movie Mosul and it will be more or less like that. Move as close as you can to the Egyptian Border your Brothers in Faith. Im sure they won’t shoot you there fellow Brothers Muslims now each for his own don’t mind what the media and the whole world is negotiating and talking n talking n debating n debating in Munich Germany k!

  37. The tragic thing is that the majority of the population once voted for this. There was no secret HAMAS goal is to exterminate Israel and the Gazans prefered that compared to Fathas intentions to negotiate. What did they think, that Israel wouldn’t fight?

    War is cruel, better not to start one.

    Peace is better than Jihad.
