Blinken Pledges US Support for Israel | VOA News #shorts

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Benjamin Netanyahu he understood on a personal level 'the harrowing echoes that Hamas' massacres carry for Israeli Jews' and Washington was at Israel's side, as he began a Middle East trip also aimed at containing the conflict.

From a podium next to the Israeli Prime Minister at the military headquarters in Tel Aviv on Thursday, Blinken urged Israel to show restraint in its retaliation, in his most direct plea so far, asking that it take every possible precaution to protect civilian life.

Washington's top diplomat embarked on a multi-country Middle East tour as Israel unleashes the most powerful bombing campaign in the 75-year history of its conflict with the Palestinians, vowing to annihilate Hamas - which rules the Gaza Strip - in retribution for the militants' weekend attacks.

Who's most cruel, brutal, barbaric and uncivilized???
Where's Humanity????
Who's really
If Israel slowly slowly forcibly illegally occupied most of the Palestine territories since 1967 and forcibly made Palestinians to leave their motherland, then who really terrorizing whom??? History tells us that there was NO Israel prior to 1948 and once upon a time it was role United Nations playing??? Isn't the belligerent aggressive attitude of Israel responsible for never ending crisis and loss of innocent lives since 1948 ???? Those who are taking sides and dont appeal for peace, they are Devils and shame on 😮😮

Nobody ask me! Who voted for you anyway?

Don't dream of occupying Palestinian land. How many centuries has this war been going on, but it is still the same and Palestine has survived and is still maintained to this day. Our God is Allah SWT, the real God, it is because of Allah that Palestine remains awake to this day even though it has been fighting for years or even centuries.
