As an American it really makes me sick to my stomach to see what is happening to the people in Gaza. What can I do but send my blessings for a free Palestine. My heart really hurts for the mother's. I can't even imagine. 💔💔💔

Thank you so much Al Jazeera's all the correspondence updates on the Rafah's situations. It's a tragedy what the Gaza Palestinians are going through. Just watching on TV these blood shades, tragedy for seven months makes us exhausted. I have a heart condition 'Angina'. It makes my stress level very high. My blood pressure goes high. I don't know how Palestinians are serving? This is insane. The UN should send troops in Rafa. My prayers for all the Palestinians stay strong and safe. Freedom is in their way. ❤❤❤❤❤

People should hear how Blaze TV mocks and laughs at the suffering in Gaza. Pat Grey repeatedly went so far to say the land needed cleansing of every living creature there. The level of evil in the world is shocking

Everything that has a beginning has an end. What happened in Pompeii. What happened to Ramses when Moses returned. All will be revealed soon. Same will happen to Natanyahoo.

Netanyahu is in a lose or lose situation.
Netanyahu has become a man with nothing to win and nothing to lose which makes him the world's most dangerous man.

[uzeirdalip]

War criminals. I pray one day they get held to account.

[somoonsie]

No wonder a person was so so angry to them in the past...

[davidbrown]

Shame on you Israel, US and the Western Allies 😂

We were warned 80 years ago, about those people.
