  1. “When anybody preaches disunity,
    Tries to pit one of us against the other…
    You know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives”

    1. @Tsubadai Khan …. Joe Biden caused this war. Trump had it all under control, than along comes Joe Biden, starts sending money to Iran again, starts sending money to Hamas again. These idiots are back to the same old failed policies. Next on the list of Democrat failures will be our economy, look forward to record home foreclosures again… Just like Obama caused.

    2. @T. Properties … He had this all fixed, then Joe Biden wrecked it all… The only ones dumber than Joe Biden are the idiots that voted for him.

    3. @Mihai of Rockville Does “Divide and conquer” ring any bells? This is pretty standard, considering mega corporations tendency to hire diverse employees to prevent unionizing and multi-ethnic/religious societies are directly correlated to dictatorships. If people can’t or won’t unite, it is easy to control any opposition.

    4. @Tony Johnson Brother, I don’t hate you or anyone else. But I don’t need a Bible or a Koran, or a Bhagavad Gita, or even a book of Confucius sayings to know right from wrong. You’d be better off quoting Dr. Zeus at me, (only the non-racist ones though).
      On the slim chance there’s a God & an afterlife, I’m happy to go meet him because I haven’t wasted my life running around with a book written by men that pretend to know His mind.
      And I sure as Sugar haven’t killed anyone, or started any wars convinced He was only on my side.
      To be honest, I send the occasional prayer, but if he can’t make my Football team win all the time He’s not quite as good as He pretends…

  2. The media must truly think that
    1. we have bad memories
    2. We are flat out stupid
    3. We have a Kindergarten level of understanding when it comes to Israel/ Gaza Strip/ PLO

    1. @Niko Bella-Khouf i’m not clinging to anything. Idc about the veracity of the hebrew bible lol. You have texts from various civilizations referencing judea and its subjugation. Who cares how big david’s group was. It became something much larger over time. The Jews occupied the land for centuries. The historical record does seem to support that

    2. @Niko Bella-Khouf also what i cited literally says king david’s supposed kingdom appeared to be much smaller than the bible asserted. I never disputed that lol

    3. @Niko Bella-Khouf DNA from the Bible’s Canaanites lives on in modern Arabs and Jews

      A new study of ancient DNA traces the surprising heritage of these mysterious Bronze Age people.

      They are best known as the people who lived “in a land flowing with milk and honey” until they were vanquished by the ancient Israelites and disappeared from history. But a scientific report published today reveals that the genetic heritage of the Canaanites survives in many modern-day Jews and Arabs.
      The study in Cell also shows that migrants from the distant Caucasus Mountains combined with the indigenous population to forge the unique Canaanite culture that dominated the area between Egypt and Mesopotamia during the Bronze Age, lasting from approximately 3500 B.C. until 1200 B.C.

      The team extracted ancient DNA from the bones of 73 individuals buried over the course of 1,500 years at five Canaanite sites scattered across Israel and Jordan. They also factored in data from an additional 20 individuals from four sites previously reported.
      “Individuals from all sites are highly genetically similar,” says co-author and molecular evolutionist Liran Carmel of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University. So while the Canaanites lived in far-flung city states, and never coalesced into an empire, they shared genes as well as a common culture.
      The researchers also compared the ancient DNA with that of modern populations and found that most Arab and Jewish groups in the region owe more than half of their DNA to Canaanites and other peoples who inhabited the ancient Near East—an area encompassing much of the modern Levant, Caucasus, and Iran.

    4. @Niko Bella-Khouf Who came first?

      Both Israeli and Palestinian politicians claim the region of Israel and the Palestinian territories is the ancestral home of their people, and maintain that the other group was a late arrival. “We are the Canaanites,” asserted Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last year. “This land is for its people…who were here 5,000 years ago.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, said recently that the ancestors of modern Palestinians “came from the Arabian peninsula to the Land of Israel thousands of years” after the Israelites.
      The new study suggests that despite tumultuous changes in the area since the Bronze Age, “the present-day inhabitants of the region are, to a large extent, descended from its ancient residents,” concludes Schwartz—although Carmel adds that there are hints of later demographic shifts.
      Carmel hopes to soon expand the findings by collecting DNA from the remains of those who can be identified as Judean, Moabite, Ammonite, and other groups mentioned in the Bible and other texts.
      “One could analyze ‘Canaanite’ as opposed to ‘Israelite’ individuals,” adds archaeologist Mary Ellen Buck, who wrote a book on the Canaanites. “The Bible claims that these are distinct and mutually antagonistic groups, yet there’s reason to believe that they were very closely related.”

    1. @mdo686 the Palestinians are nothing more than people who were displaced from Syria and Jordan !
      The land of Israel and the capital of Jerusalem are the land for the Jewish people !
      When Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago ! ( Excuse me a prophet of Allah )
      He went to the temple which was in Jerusalem (a land filled with Jews but at that time controlled by the Romans )
      And that was 2000 years ago !
      Israel and Jerusalem is for the Jews !

    2. @Mark Timothy Oh ok. After the last 4 years I don’t underestimate how ignorant someone can be.

  4. The people know who the bad guys are….Sadly, the media sides with the bad guys because they are friends.

    1. @MOHAMMAD wajdi He’s not supporting the occupying, colonizers, the Arabs, he’s supporting the indigenous people’s defense against those monsters.

    2. @Shadow7209 Arabs were attacking innocent Israelis all Ramadan. Only a racist fool thinks Israel attacked first.

    3. @Shadow7209 The Arabs are the colonizers. And the British brought most of them in, from other countries, then handed them 70% of Jewish land to form Jordan. But 70% wasn’t enough for the invaders. They want it all. Arabs continue to occupy land in Yudea and Shomron. Jews have as much right to live in their homeland, as any people. Nobody is pushing the Arabs out of Arabia, and falsely claiming that it is theirs, like the Arabs do in Judea.

    4. @Deborah Freedman What are you talking about? Israel was created in 1948 out of Palestine. Palestinians (muslims) were the ones displaced. The UN has been condemning the settlements into Palestinian lands ever since. Get your facts straight

    5. @4309chris you do realize this isn’t about religion and is about the two cultures hating each other alone right? Christian and jewish palestinians are in both territories, but not like americans would understand countries have more than 1 religion

    1. @Barry Allen oh my f****** word. you people will literally twist yourself into knots trying to explain things won’t you? you guys are ridiculous. 😅

    2. Was covid a failure, they say u getting tested for covid, really ur DNA, and when u get vaccinated there giving u cancer that ur body can’t fight off.

    3. Yeah, From the “Pharmacutecal Industrial Complex” back to the “Military Industrial Complex.” Coming???
      The “Chemical Industrial Complex.” This will happen after a major Chemical
      Train Spill and the Implosion of the CAPITAL BUILDING.
      Then begins Agenda 21.
      Covid 19 the Implosion 20, then Agenda 21. The Capital Building Implosion is the “Greening” of America’s Political Structure and the Implementation of the
      New World Ordering of Colonialism and the 10% White Domination controlling the other 90%
      of the World’s Population.

    1. @Hidden Effect All that you stated there could be true but it changes NOTHING when it comes to the HISTORY recorded as to how the JEWS came into possession of Israel.

    2. @J SMARTIN Well we will have to leave it at that since you have not only shown yourself to be abrasive but UNREASONABLE, CONCEITED and a BOOR. Have at it.

    3. @J SMARTIN they do if people sold it and financial transactions exist. You don’t own your house either then. Get out of it.

  5. A man once said, If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppression

    1. @Mauricio Milano you miss the point entirely. You wish to gloss over those responsible for the dismal present thinking somehow you can magically change the future without dealing with the past. It doesn’t work that way if it did Israel wouldn’t be air-striking civilians in Gaza under the guises of “Defending” itself against hamas.

    2. @PRO BLACTIVE I can marely show you a path, its after you to walk the one you choose…

    3. @Mauricio Milano so how is that suppose to change the situation in Israel/Gaza? do these feel good words you speak stop violent conflicts?

    4. Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs~.Gandhi
      “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”~. Nelson Mandela
      “In short the Zionist argument to justify Israel’s present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history” ~Malcom X

    1. @Hayden Mulkey Me : Why should we listen and believe anything that a murderer has to say ?
      You : I’m not a murderer !
      Me : Prove you’re not a murderer
      You : I’ve never murdered or killed anybody
      Me : That’s exactly what a murderer would say
      I could go on but I hope you see and get the point that I am using Christian apologetic arguments to show you that all you have is a belief and circular arguments, which aren’t facts, to try and prove something you believe exists, without tangible proof or facts. No ! The bibble or any other religious book or books do not prove the existence of god. They only prove that someone or some people wrote a or some books.I don’t need to prove to you that god doesn’t exist, when I can make you prove it for me !!!
      Me : Are Unicorns and Smurfs real !?
      You : No !
      Me : Whatever reasons you use to prove that they aren’t real, just use those for your god !!!
      Mic Drop !!!

    2. @LEMON HEAD God will be disproven when the wizards of hog warts are revealed. You’re listening to the wrong book!

    3. Wrong.
      Mohammad flew on a flying donkey on his Night Journey (look it up Mohammad Night Journey) and that is the only reason for this conflict

    1. News media is all of the sudden reporting this now! They aren’t show the Israeli police attacking the Palestinians. This is been escalating for a decade now even though it’s a 73 year conflict.

  6. Peace Love and positive vibes from Maine, USA 🇺🇸 ☮️🇮🇱🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
