  1. Oh get over yourself! Ha-mas is and never was an 'existential treat' to Israel which has the 4th largest army in the world AND nuclear weapons. Ha-mas members are non-military amateurs in comparison, they never came close to destroying Israel, not even on Oct. 7. Enough with the self-defense narrative.

  2. So stupid that people still want to believe Israel’s offensive was about the hostages…Netanyahu keeps on opening war fronts then complaints about how hostile other countries are to them and request money and weapons to ‘defend themselves’ 🙄

  3. Hilarious how many of the comments applaud Israel striking residential neighborhoods in another country but then claim that they live in a democracy and love the ‘rule of law’😂

  4. We always have aspirations of things getting better in the new year and yet problems from previous years carry on towards the new. Things in the world are getting worse, not better. Wars are increasing, diseases are increasing, cost of living is absolutely mad. Don't trust in the world, or in yourself. It only leads to disappoint and death. Trust in the only one who never disappoints and the one who rose again from the dead the Lord Jesus Christ. He died for you, to satisfy the righteous wrath of God on behalf of all is sinners who lie, cheat and steal (just to name a few sins) that we do. We all deserve death but Jesus died on our behalf, absorbing His own Father's punishment on your behalf and rising again on the third day for your justification and reconciliation with God as well as having hope beyond the grave. Repent (turn away from your sins) and Trust in Christ's good works, not your own, to save you.

  5. Netanyahu insists on killing innocent people, including children, and if it were not for the support that Biden provides him, this war would not have been started from the beginning.

    Stop the war, and to Mr. Biden, to the American people and the peoples of the world, this support is a cover for Netanyahu’s crimes, the killing of children, and the bombing and killing of the people of Gaza

  6. When you have two parties which, for decades, both have been upstructing the peace and prosperity of each other for narrow personal gains for their leaders, then its very difficult (impossible?) to find a way forward.
    Both sides will have to reach the conclusion that forgiveness is a price worth paying for lasting peace and coexistence.
