| owls... | Humanitarian concerns must ALWAYS supersede political and military objectives |
| cger... | Increasingly Progressive Leftist have been endorsing crime, criminals and terrorist. Their intention is to destroy any country (including the U.S.) who are successful and profitable. Israel is one such country and so they chant "river to the sea"...blah, blah blah. So naturally they are against any defensive action to allow Israel to defend itself. |
| cica... | This is a tough one to answer. Most of these Palestinians that are being hurt are innocent. However, why won’t Hamas just surrender and get out? They’re a ruthless terrorist organization that needs to be ripped out root and vine and completely destroyed |
| koad... | Until Hamas is destroyed… |
| siga... | Hamas and the Palestinians who choose to side with them have options - stop the terror attacks and free the hostages. They can also distribute the food to their people so they don’t starve. The UN can start by demanding that rather than throwing around big phrases like ‘genocide’ |
| abue... | Starvation & killing innocent people and destroying their cities does not help getting rid of the Hamas terrorists. |
| drhg... | Israel must destroy Hamas now or else fight them again in 2-3 years when they reconstitute their numbers |
| atli... | Apartheid is a symptom of all consuming hate of human rights and goodness. |
| milt... | Heartless. Inhumane. Criminal. Israel is never less safe than they are now. Tragic. I am afraid for my Jewish friends and neighbors as I fear they will be exposed indiscriminate attacks everywhere. Paradoxical, that you can win a war and lose a war at the same time. Peace has always been the only path to secure. They needed brave leaders and have only foolishly ones. |
| jnvo... | Israel falsely thinks it’s justified to kill dozens of innocent people in order to kill a few members of Hamas. |
| akyg... | I thought Donny Trump ended that war. Or so he claims he did. |
| jeno... | This war is absolutely a genocide |
| jdtp... | If they don’t give up the Hostages…I wouldn’t stop either ! |
| perm... | Hamas STILL has hostages. They could end the conflict by releasing ALL the hostages, both those alive and the bodies of those they murdered. No one should forget that Hamas is the aggressor. As far as the aide issue is concerned, it has been proven that the lack of food and other aide lies squarely with Hamas, who steals or otherwise diverts the aide into their own hands. |
| sara... | It’s a genocide |
| lisa... | Gazans are evil, horrible humans |
| laur... | Not necessarily for security but if Hamas just gave back its tortured hostages and stopped using its own people as shields then there would be no offensive |
| angt... | Why do you keep reporting on this “conflict” as though it is a war? This is APARTHEID and GENOCIDE AS RULED BY THE UN and from what everyone has witnessed from all the live streamed footage from civilians on the ground. Shame on you for your complicit reporting! Israel is starving Gaza and it is unforgivable. They must release the Palestinian hostages and led aid in! Israel are the ones who declined Hamas returning all the hostages for a permanent ceasefire deal. They don’t care about hostages and they only want to commit genocide to steal Palestinian land. Your reports and your “sources” are not rooted in truth. Shame. |
| ksam... | Forcible transfer of a population, demolition of civilian infrastructure, blocking humanitarian aid, occupation of the territory, targeting medical facilities and journalists, and on and on. All war crimes using American tax dollars. |
| sy_o... | All Hamas has to do is surrender and lay down their arms and save their own people from this tragedy while giving the few captives alive with the tortured bodies that remain in their custody back to Israel Why don't the UN tell Hamas that they are the reason for this suffering as well as all the Arabs |
| creo... | If you said yes you are a stupid Ass |
| tomd... | We need to remember that Hamas is a known terrorist organization, and the Israeli government is simply protecting its people from them. |
| john... | isreal has a right and duty to eradicate Hamas. Hamas will not stop killing raping or kidnapping civilians. This time with Oct 7th, they went too far - FAFO |
| sing... | International war crimes! |
| tubi... | satanyahoo is on a murder rampage and the world is just watching as they repeat what the 1940's germans did, only they get to blow up the ones they hate. |
| coop... | They are fighting for survival against a terrorist organization committed to their elimination |
| jeff... | And…Trump sits around neither okaying or condemning these actions, which Israel interprets as an okay to continue. |
| jimm... | Hamas started this two years ago Oct 7th. They wanted to wipe Isreal off the map. Isreal is now going to take care of Hamas once and for all to ensure their safety and security in the region. |
| kmwe... | This needed to end for quite some time. There is no justification ever for the human suffering that is occurring in Gaza. I’m not pro-Hamas. I am pro human…this needs to end and their needs to be an enormous humanitarian effort to help these people. |
| lmca... | Didn’t the UN declare it genocide? |
| henr... | Hamas continues to hold hostages. |
| myri... | Not only it exacerbates humanitarian crisis but it à a violation of international law. Israël is illegally occupying Palestinian Territories since 1967 against UN resolutions. Stop this impunity supported by the US and the West. It is a cause of extremism, terrorism and erosion of democracy. |
| larr... | Our media is quoting Hamas talking points which Israel has shown to be false regarding starving people. By repeating Hamas's propaganda you are supporting murderers. Remember the massive number of Jewish men, women and children brutally killed by Hamas. Integrity demands you stop presenting support of baby killers, if you are any type of news reporters. If you continue as an Hamas puppet I will never read your material and warn my 20,000 followers to boycott your site. |
| best... | Thus is Hamas' fault! They should surrender immediately to save Palestinians! |
| chap... | This false narrative only serves to enhance the Hamas. They are terrorists, and they admit to wanting to see the demise of Israel and all of their people. Israel has warned those not fighting to stay away. HOWEVER, they are usually complicit in the fight against Israel by Hamas as well. Why doesn't the media show the parts of GAZA that are like any other modern city in the world? I just saw a new coffee house opened up in a beautiful neighborhood. Mmmm... that doesn't sell news, I guess. |
| bruc... | So, what's the alternative. "NEVER AGAIN" |
| spro... | Going on 3 years and Hamas still has hostages. Enough is enough, finish this |
| gall... | As long as there are hostages behind held in Gaza by Hamas and protected by the Palestinian people, military action is necessary. If they bring back the hostages Israel would have no need to be there. |
| loui... | This is genocide! |
| csbr... | C'mon, it's just Israel committing full scale genocide against the Palestinian people. Over 64,000 people dead, that's not "targeting Hamas militants", that is using captives as initial bait and then as a justification of eradication. But, as we are seeing, hate begats hate and internal and external conflict continues to grow my wealth, so y'all keep up the division, fighting, and killing, some of us profit greatly from it. |
| fnpn... | It is their country and Hamas wants to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. They are 100% justified. If that were your home and you allowed someone to camp in your yard and then they were trying to kill your family to it over, you would not let that happen. |
| fcse... | Israel is creating the next generation of Hamas. |
| jmp.... | There was a ceasefire on 10/7/23 until Hamas (backed by Iran) staged one of the most grotesque and cruel attacks on a civilian population in the history of the world. To this day, they hold the bodies of mutilated Israelis and as many as 20 living hostages. And Hamas and its proxies continue to launch attacks on Israel and live by its charter to try to eliminate the State of Israel and then attack Jews and western civilization the world over. |
| kpd4... | The humanitarian crisis caused by HAMAS. Why is no one protesting for Hamas to surrender??? |
| alfo... | Probably both answers are valid. I still view the Israel response as being “All or nothing “ as long as Hamas refuses to release the hostages. Deals offered in the past seem to greatly favor the Hamas side, being that they were the aggressors. IMO , any deals proposed should be less and less favorable to Hamas as this stalling has been going on too long. |
| cara... | Israel is actively committing genocide |
| jmja... | Israel has provided plenty of time for people to move to other areas of the Gaza before this offensive. Yes, it will exacerbate the humanitarian issues in Gaza but Hamas could have surrendered and released the hostages at anytime after October 7th. |
| cjsa... | Israel sadly seems to have embraced its most hateful and extreme ideological tendencies. |
| pytk... | Hamas instigated the war, holds the hostages, refuses to lay down its arms and repeat Oct 7 again and again. They have refused a ceasefire every time and continue th prevent Gazans from leaving the area, using them as human shields |
| hine... | No other way to eliminate the militants. They have shown they will never stop terrorist activities so door to door is the only way now. |
| romi... | Am Israel Chai💙 |
| tomr... | You have to totally eliminate the enemy. |
| ablu... | The lack of food is not real Hamas has the hostages and has not released them while they hide behind civilians Hanas consists of rapers and murders who specifically targeted the innocent |
| mary... | Hamas has been attacking Israel since it withdrew in 2006, while diverting aid to tunnels under civilian structures and using the population as human shields while its leaders live in luxury in Qatar. It needs to be eradicated. |
| 9812... | Israel, or any country, does not want to have violent and declared enemies on two sides. No doubt they would greatly prefer having none on any side. But they don't. Hamas wants to destroy Israel. Hamas has tried to hurt Israel. Hamas will continue until destroyed or they have a serious change in leadership and purpose. |
| jpwi... | October 7 exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. A crisis that could be completely ended if Hamas surrendered and return the hostages. Unfortunately, Hamas is encouraged not to surrender by virtue signaling from Western leaders in France, UK, Canada etc. |
| mich... | Starving families and leaving civilians in danger is not humane and Jews should understand that more than others. |
| hage... | Is it so easy to forget the Israeli hostages? Security is compromised until they are returned. This terrible failure and so many deaths is on the international community that allowed the poverty to grow so deeply in Gaza before the Palestinian terrorist attack. How can you forgive and begin the healing before the crime is finished? Return the hostages now! |
| rmen... | Hamas built 10 miles of tunnels that protect their military but no shelters or access for their women & children civilians |
| bobb... | I'm finding it very difficult to support anti-semitism when Jews aren't anti-Genocide. Incredible hypocrisy! |
| ceal... | Hamas is holding everyone (underlined) hostage. Why won’t they end the suffering and surrender? |
| spie... | No more horrific October 7th atrocities at the hands of evil, sexually perverted demons. Destroy them. |
| simo... | look back at the reaction of the US to the 9/11 attacks - Hamas are an ongoing serious threat to life and must be destroyed. |
| mich... | Netanyahu needs to go! |
| anth... | Innocent people and children are at great risk. |
| jame... | These terrorists hide behind the people |
| wins... | Israel is pure evil and the whole world is watching an ethnic cleansing genocide in real time. |
