The problem is the artificial colonial settler state of Isreal having no regard to international law and human life. What Israel is doing is not self-defense, because it has no right to it as the occupier. Israel has proven to be an outlaw state. What is the international community going to do about that?

[JohnFelinn]

According to the UN Charter, Palestine has a right to an armed struggle against occupation.

We are not anti-Semitic we are anti-injustice and anti-genocide.

These student PATRIOTS are TOO STRONG too be stopped! MASSIVE support from around the WORLD ON STANDBY! The TIDE HAS TURNED Ya'll! RESPECT!

Like a French Jewish woman said:”The Israeli propaganda is indescribable and has surpassed all the other ones.

[ahhaz]

As a Muslim, above all, as a human being I am ashamed of Arab rulers & Muslim leaders. Praise to S. Africa, Ireland, Nicaragua, Spain & few other courageous countries that stand against the genocide.

[Iqbal-lnii]

How can the world watch Israel's offensive against Gaza when everyone is only condemning, why no action even if needed by force by the world leaders is taken immediately to stop the genocide

[zehsanislam]

The overkill of antisemitism has already lost its importance.

And for israel, Expulsion from the United Nations is a procedure under Article 6,  Chapter II of the United Nations Charter when a member state of the United Nations can be expelled from the organization. This can be done when a member state has persistently violated the principles of the United Nations Charter

Finally, Egypt is on the right side of history!!

[OhDearOhDear]

Big news indeed, well done Egypt! I’m intrigued to hear Israels response.

[badrudinhassanali]

It's over due for over 70 years Palestinian is FREE and Sovereign country NO VITO or Miscellaneous

[nakhan]

I think what Natenyahu has done it's the end of Israeli dominance in the region

[ponnaga]

Why can't the Secretary general of UN who is supreme commander of UN peace keeping forces send Multinational UN peace keeping forces to Gaza immediately to stop genocide and carnage in Gaza. He is not going to be hanged publicly by the ICJ for sending peace keeping forces to Gaza

[mladyriad]

What about the mention of Palestinian lives lost as human lives lost?

[cristinakasselas]

Now they woke up ?! For 75 years and the slippery slop they watched happening for years where were they ?! I have no pity on them they only think on their skin

[rassel]

If you want peace then you need to give same human rights to
