Why should anybody care about what Isreal wants to do concerning people in Gaza? They're not pets. The people in Gaza need to decide what Gaza looks like.

[apotatoninja]

Can't control the future of a country that's not yours.

[MendeMaria-ejbf]

The hostages could have been freed for months through intelligent and reasonable politics.

[ManzoorAli-pt]

Since beginning of war, we haven't seen war plan thats why IDF is expressing anger and frustration. Netanyahu is blinded by prejudice and vengeance.

[lambertois]

The Israel Defence Force is adopting the ruthless tactics of the SS !

[MendeMaria-ejbf]

Wanting to destroy resistance means not wanting to know causes, context and history.

[alexpkeaton]

Can't have plans if you can't even win in the first place.

[Kohen]

The plans for Lebanon are similar to those of Gaza to continue its attacks.

[eternalstudios]

They should pay for damages, then allow gaza to have their own government.

[MrManny]

No one mentions the root cause of all this which is the occupation

[motherstar]

Great thanks to this Admiral for his whistle blowing.
The people of Israel need the truth.

Israeli Hasbara 101:
1. We haven't heard reports of deaths, will check into it.
2. Palestinians were killed, but by a faulty Hamas rocket.
3. Okay, we killed them, but they were terrorists.
4. Okay, they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields.
5. Okay, there were no fighters in the area, it was our mistake, but we don’t target civilians, like Hamas.
6. Okay, we've killed far more civilians than Hamas, but look at how terrible other countries are!
7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-semite?

[igorchiandetti]

So, according to the journalist, in Israel it has always been known that it was not possible to completely eliminate Hamas, even if they always maintained that this was the goal. Also, they always knew that to free the hostages they had to reach an agreement but it is clear that this was not the priority. The most logical conclusion is that this is not a war but an excuse for ethnic cleansing.

[bayzidahammed]

I thought the Naz!s no longer existed until I realized that they are rebranding themselves as the NAtional Zlonism of Israel.

[Speaker]

I'm 85 years old and have witnessed many conflicts. The doctrine of Nazism in Germany was defeated the day the German people, as a whole, were shown the actions and results of Nazism. The German people destroyed Nazism. Hopefully, the same will happen in Israel when the good people of Israel realize what has been done in their name.

[zildamorais]

I don't know what is going to happen with Gaza. I just know that after all the crimes it is committing, Israel's future will not be bright.

[justinkey]

Why would you spend $150 an hour on a private Latin tutor, to teach you child Latin, when up untill 50 years ago your child could have learned Latin for free in our American public schools? Because learning Latin today is expensive, that our public schools should not have stopped teaching it. We were lied to and betrayed by our elected officials. I learned Latin only because my parents are wealthy do I protest this travesty. If Latin doesn't matter why does it cost so much to learn it in America?

[gabrielderman]

You are lying. Hagari said that you have to replace the ideology. He didn’t say that Hamas as an ideology cannot be replaced.

[adamredwine]

Haggari is right. The politicians need to make a decision about post war Gaza.
