It really is a shame, with Serbia and Kosovo tensions escalating, Ukraine and Russia at war, America and China tensions rising, now Israel and Palestinians are at war. I fear WW3 is upon us. I PRAY that peace will come quick.

Those wars are not ours.

نحب كوكبنا الجميل بكل الوانه ،ولكن نرفض الاعتداءات والظلم والغطرسة والقلوب الحقودة ،اللهم إنصر المؤمنين جميعا أينما وجدوا .

اللهم إني أستودعك بيت المقدس وأهل القُدس وكُل فلسطين ، اللهُم كُن لهم عوناً، اللهم إنا لا نملك لفلسطين إلا الدعاء يارب لا ترد لنا دعاء ولا تخيب لنا رجاء وأنت أرحم الراحمين، اللهم رد إلينا فلسطين والمسجد الاقصى رداً جميلاً اللهم أنصر ضعفهم فإنهم ليس لهم سواك.اللهم انصرهم، وارزقهم القوة والصبر، واربط على قلوبهم، وأنزل عليهم من رحماتك، اللهم داوِ جرحاهم، واشف مرضاهم، وتقبّل موتاهم، اللهم رد إليهم شبابهم الأسرى، يا رب يا الله.

What the sad thing is, its that it seems like the civilians on both sides are the ones who have to suffer over issues they have absolutely no control over. It’s not right.

اللهم أنصر الفلسطينيين على الظلمة المحتلين الصهاينة

In 3 days Hamas is crying about the casualties

We are a people who love death as you love life. We win or we die

This is unfair, we need to stop wars! STOP WAR!!!

[Peakyblenders]

Oh ok, you mean rocket attack. Air strike implies planes or jets. I was wondering if Palestine somehow obtained an air force.

[dechencheki]

It's really heartbreaking 💔... We don't want wars anymore 😢😢....please show some humanity.... We should understand each other 🥹🥹... War is distruction 😢😢

[Thomas-wgiq]

One broadcaster stated dozens and another said thousands of rockets... which is it? 😒

[guybeingaguy]
