The last man actually trying to justify Genocide, and no ones in the comment section mentions it. what a cruel world
It's always the civilians who suffered most in any war, and it's heartbreaking seeing those children to witness these.😢😢
These are the people who laughed and cheered as their men destroyed israeli villages murdering babies face to face. We saw videos of these so called civilians beating and spitting on hostages, running in packs cheering on the gunmen killing real israeli civilians.
These people voted in the terrorists and fully support them. The Palestinian women tearing down posters looking for the missing, these people always play the victim but they are nothing but. If any of us lived with terrorists we would move to the other side of the world to escape. The Palestinians in gaza are not innocent, we saw videos of boys running beside hamas vehicles returning with hostages. They all loved the bloodshed until israel responded. Its obvious they are willing participants.
Civilians are responsibe indirectly
@@toretto1341
For some civilians it may be true somehow, but what about those who just want to exists & live peacefully with their families?
@@user-od9od6bm8kThey should move to the West Bank! Those who choose Gaza, choose hamas!
@@toretto1341 Why Jews are so cruel? Is it something unique to their religion? Is this the reason why Christians killed millions of Jews for 1000s of years in Europe? What Jews are doing now are really cruel, no doubt about that.
Nobody should ever be starved or be refused medicines. It's insane that that's even an option on the table
They say "leave" and then blow up the crossing : / they wint even let them leave
Cutting off electricity and aid, especially medical aid, means cutting off oxygen for foster children who survived the bombing in Gaza hospitals.
Cutting off water and food and destroying hospitals limits the humanitarian mission of doctors, paramedics, and even cars to transport patients
I'm actually surprised the BBC is showing this point of view. Regardless of how we got here, people are suffering and our leaders must demand a ceasefire allowing humanitarian aid to end the suffering.
Nope 👎 not in war give it up
And let Hamas fighters slip away not a chance
Lmao hamas hides under hospitals so if you bomb them you will kill 3000 more innocent people and will be seen as the bad person whereas they dont give a shit about human lives and morality
why dont they just ask hamas for aid, they have it. or how about they release hostages and get their power back
@@aidanbiton4105 oh wait but hamas uses all of the money it gets donated to take care of their population to plan even more attacks on israel instead of "spending" money on aid for the people 🧠🧠🧠
When injustice becomes the Law, the resistance becomes duty. -Thomas Jefferson
Terrorism is never an answer .. beheading infants in name of God is terrorism and not self defence... And absolutely nothing to do with God or gods will
Well I´m not against the Palestinians, but in every country in the middle east you´ll see extreme poverty even in Dubai so I don´t really follow this narrative...Hamas might have his reasons or justifications for what ever he thinks he can achieve but "you loose it all" when he decide to take on innocent civilians...When they state " they live in a prison" Do people remember why the fence was built in the 1st place ? To control the suicide bombers in and out of Israel wasn´t it... So our actions have repercurssions no matter where you live...When religion it´s the political core for all meanings always goes wrong (radicals), Europe had it centuries ago so I believe people just need to read History.
Correct but love is the biggest weapon.
@@khalsaji1699 u can't love someone with eyes closed to their actions.. a true love will point out flaws and help correct it if any
Islam is pure evil.
Satan reborn.
My heart melts
Heart cries out for those children. They don’t know the meaning of country, holy lands, they just want to live.
How could Hamas be such psychos they use them as human shields.
@@BobbyJardine-vs8yc He is talking about the CIVILIANS IDIOT
His words at the end, so cold ad heartless. How have we as humanity come to this?
Its because he's a zionist. They are scum. They think some old claim to a land thousands of years ago entitles them to that land for forever.
Ask Hamas. They started the war.
@@SilverSergeant Israel started this.
@@RelixEndhamas has money to buy rockets but not food and medicine
This even is half truth which is spred by Palestinians
Initially all Arabs never wanted Israel to exist and also tried to wipe it out and failed
If Arabs wanted they could have migrated all Palestinians but they wanted to wipe out Israel so it's all thier fault
they leadership on both sides are to blame. It is the innocent that suffer@@SilverSergeant
Indeed it is an honor to be in a peaceful land. Peace is noble
Some countries act like they care about the palestinians.Really no one cares,where is one country to take them in for safety during the war?

Regardless, the last thing we want to see is destroying innocent civilians and their properties..
Besides, we have been paying $10 Billion a year to Palestine, Israel, Egypt and Jordan since 1976 Camp David peace accord. That's a whopping half a trillion dollars to date!
Please bear in mind that we have tens of millions of homeless people out on the streets here in the USA.. Peace and prosperity to the region! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Has your child been denied medical permits?" The fact that Palestinians require a PERMIT from Israel to seek medical care in the first place is shocking, disgusting and revealing.
Why should Israel let in people who want them dead?
The money spent by Hamas on thousands of weapons and terror tunnels would have bought alot of medical care. Blame them.
The problem is not with Hamas, the problem is with ignoring your occupation, colonialism, the continuous Israeli blockade in Gaza and the West Bank.
the problem with your denial of Palestinians to live in freedom, dignity and an independent state.
the problem with your justify of Israeli colonialism and occupation
the problem with your justify of the massacres against civilians,
Life is going normally in Tel Aviv, foreign journalists are banned from entering Gaza!!!
Israeli occupation forces target journalists, hospitals, schools, universities, crowded civilian buildings and neighborhoods, infrastructure, innocent civilians, especially children, and use phosphorus bombs, cutting off electricity, water, medicine and food, and dehumanizing civilians .
this is a bloody aggression and terrorism that amounts to genocide must stop. @@michaelb6327
Palestine has been granted billions from the West to develop their towns and infrastructures. Even the USSR tried to help them at some point. They spent everything in weapons, cars, drugs and all the terrorists leaders suddenly became very rich with houses all over the world. They did it to themselves.
@@contact594and? There's a hospital up the road from me that is called a hospital but closes at 6pm for patients.
It's extremely heartbroken to see the young innocent lives become the collateral damage of the war.
Caused by HAMAS
this whole situation is crazy, I pray that the war ends soon. At the end of the day, it's the innocent civilians that are suffering the most.
Praying for the suffering to stop 🙏
Keep on praying!
To whom are you praying?
stop lying, you are not actually praying you are playing about on your phone
@@spudspuddyYeah. To these people, the word "praying" became meaningless
I hate these virtue signaling idiots!
it's the praying that led to this
Its about time we see the OTHER side! Thank You!
Praying for a resolutuin. May God bless and protect the innocent people, especially thw children ❤
STOP PRAYING and DEMAND a paradigm shift to a MIDDLE EAST UNION; One citizenship, passport, money..freedom for all its citizens to live, work, travel and worship; Jew, Christian, Muslim, Pagan..all free! We know this works already because, after 500 years of killing each other in Europe, we now have the 500,000,000 strong EU. And we can have the same in the Middle East too... 400,000,000 million trading bloc of people... not prisoners!
Instead of praying, send some humanitarian aid.
Fugg your prayers
Hail Satan! 🖤𖤐
Did that guy said that they might need to starve over 100.000 persons to achieve their goals????
Yes.
100k is a rookie number. Why not all. 😊
People don’t think when they still have something to eat. The blockade been on for more than 7 days and gaza people still can drive to the south , didn’t die of starvation, getting info video out of gaza , getting interviewed by the media. obviously the israeli didn’t do enough yet.
@@Yuv1 with that sentence you showed that you worth as much as any piece of shit terrorist
@@Yuv1Hamas doesn’t care for the life of either. It only cares about its charter - which states it wants the destruction of Israel.
So basically he admitted they’re intentionally trying to starve those poor kids and old people to death. Got it ✔️ Are we that inhumane that we’re not only doing it but INTENTIONALLY doing it?!? What if that was your child or your wife or your grandma!
If it were my mother, sister and daughter I would take up arms against my government for the crimes against humanity they committed. I would work with others to free the hostages and pray that once the dust settles, a new government would be set up, and that it would not have its main goal being to genocide our neighbors.
Why should Israel supply their enemies with food?
Asking the question indicates that you know so little about the region,that it would take months of schooling to bring you up to speed, it’s not your fault and you’re in the majority, just know that no matter what you hear, Israel is not the aggressor and not stealing land from anyone. They have tried everything they can to have a solution, the people of Gaza insist on this response from Israel, they insisted.
No Sparky, they are trying to get the 200 Hostages back and Israel said, return Hostages, blockade ends. It helps if you tell the truth. Oh, Israel can do whatever they want after Hamas butchered 1200 Israeli civiluans, Oh that doesn't count for you. Immoral aren't you, Yes
The answer to the title of this video why this happening is very simple...A particular religion can't coexist, they want to create trouble with everyone else because their ideology is all about complete dominance and control which is what exactly their prophet did and taught them..Don't take my words alone, try to learn the history of that so called prophet..
@01:38 water and electricity is not severely disrupted its CUT OFF
False. In the north it was cut off to force citizens to safety in the south.
@@rafster675 and who cares about their safety??
Its weird how adults (on both sides) are acting like its the stone age. And who suffers? Their own children.
That is their intent.
only one side has an army tho lmao
Israel is a colonial settlement that came from Europe by the help of British (who else can cause such an issue). Palestine had Muslims, Christians and Jews living together in peace untill the arrival of the British. Early 1900 there were around 25000 Jew in Palestine representing 6% of the population. Jew settlers started to come from Europe as refugees after 1920+
And in 10 years Jews population jumped from 25000 to around 800K. They started killing the natives and stealing there land which they still doing. Even British couldn't control what they did. The state of Israel was establish by terrorist on 1948 over the dead bodies of natives. Palestinians are subjected to torture and killing, raping, organ harvesting and lots of other horrible stuff for a 100 year now and when they retaliate, they get called as terrorists for defending their lands, and the colonial propaganda starts telling lies to dehumanize them to justify the genocides.
Colonies will support colonies.
War criminals will support war criminals.
Arab tried peace many time eventhough israel doesn't deserve peace, they use Treaties to divide the Arabs and take their lands and kill them, been happening for 100 year now. Israel is a zionist colony. The country will be Palestine and will be back to what it was when Jews, Christians and Muslims lived in it together, it was a symbol of religious unity untill British touched the land.
Maybe check death number over the last thousand of years, see who died by whom to find out who are the real terrorists.
Bullshit. They've been increasingly killed and oppressed by Israel since 1948. Hamas should be destroyed but don't pretend like the Palestinians have no good reason to despise Israel.
both sides have innocent dead kids tho lmao@@Loots1
Abigail is 3 years old. She has been kidnapped by Hamas. She is there ALONE! Alone, without her mother or father. Please helps us bring our kids back🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's so sad what's happening
What Hamas did in Israel is horrific but this collective punishment being inflicted on the population of Gaza is unconscionable and indefensible. What did those children do to anyone? It's appalling that for all the talking - including by Arab countries - noone is coming to their aid. Such a disgrace.
Bullshit. Plenty of asian countries come to palestinian aid in gaza, under israel and USA threat. In egypt there are long lines of aid carrier witheld in egypt and haza border because israel refuses to open the border!!!
Did you see the cheering in Gaza streets as piles of Israeli children and woman bodies were paraded in the streets? 85% of Gaza citizens elected Hamas and as you see on TV state they support their actions.
Hamas has done for helping netanyahu, to cover his illegal cases
Infants were killed in Israel too
The Gaza strip voted for Hamas. If Palestinian people hadn't voted for terror and evil, Israel would not have to put a wall up to protect themselves.
one step on the right path BBC ...
Recent events are sad for the ordinary people in both of the countries involved .
They blame them for defending their land. how stupid? They stole their lands and displaced 14 million Palestinians.
One country, one terrorist group
Gaza doesn't really have neighborhoods at this point, it has rubble
and when they come to the UK the first thing they do is start acting like savages and trying to turn britain into the same dump they just ran away from...smh
why people can't live peaceful, respect each other religion, land.
may god safe every one 🙏
Before Israel, Jews and Muslims lived peacefully side by side in Palestine
The only way is if people accept Jesus (on earth he healed people he spoke about love) Jesus is God's son. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you will have peace and the hope of the kingdom
God bless and protect the children of Gaza 🙏🏻
Did you say tge same for tge Israeli children butchered by Hamas. Hope So

no you're not...🙄
Looks like pagans taken over bbc 😅
@@spudspuddy your flag and skum elite started this mess in 1917. Bought off by the Rothschild banking family.
During this conflict, not once have I seen a Hamas or Palestinian leader form Gaza openly making statements or efforts to help their people, all of them are in Qatar in the billion dollar bungalows, not once they came to help Gazans or ask Lebanon or Egypt to open borders to help them nor negotiate with Israel for safe passage of the civilians especially those kids and women, it’s insane how everyone is supporting Palestine but don’t question for once where the hell are their leaders in time of crisis ??😊
This is 100% speculation. You have no idea what Hamas is negotiating. We all have no idea who they are negotiating with. None of the major news sources are reporting on this. I'm not sure why; it could be because of pro-Israel bias, it could be because Hamas doesn't want to do interviews, it could be because they don't want to negotiate, but we don't know why. Don't post sh!t that you don't know for certain.
exactly , the should blame their own Goverments which is Hamas Hizzbola and Iran
why negotiating with occupiers who aim at ethnic cleansing, they were not kind for the civilians ever since they set their feet in palestaine. Hamas leaders are not thier to enjoy, they are building pathways to gain power and weapons from close partners who blieve isreal an apperthied sate. this confilict won't end until israel leaves that land or become second class citizens. you must know this isislamic issue since it is mandatory to evry muslim to defend Al-Aqsa mosque.
They said Hamas kills any such people.
Exactly
The why is simple: 7/10. Since the BBC doesn't consider the slaughter of Jews to be something to get worked up about, they have to have some long and convoluted explanation.
the bbc is controlled by jews, every head of the bbc has been jewish, they own all the media from Reuters the jewish news agency...you couldn't be more wrong
I can't imagine how horrible it must be to live under a crippling military occupation for over 15 years. Love and support to the people of Gaza. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Absolutely, Hamas needs to go immediately and let good Palestinians live in peace.
Have some shame. Blame is on the occupation that has no humanity@@aussiert
@@saifullah7 Hamas and the people dancing on the streets parading naked hostages in the name of god must have a lot of shame 😂 wake up.
And Israelis bombing civilians and stealing land and demolishing homes is OK? There are many videos of settlers desecrating bodies and urinating on bodies. Is that OK? You ignore the occupation and sterilize it and keen to only go after Hamas. @@aussiert
Absolutely agree, Hamas has made life intolerable for these poor people. Hamas only wants one thing - the destruction of the Jews and of Israel, they'll use everyday Arabs as bait, as human sheilds, women and children, old men and women...whatever it takes. They'll take foreign aid for food and medicine and use it to buy and make weapons. They're obsessed with destruction of Jews, just like the Nazis. I feel sorry for anybody who has to live under such scum.
This war needs to STOP now...Look what these poor children are going through... Innocent civilians..Please CEASE FIRE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am a refugee and I recognize one when I see it. Palestinians living in their own land as refugees worst yet open air prison.
their land?
See there are these 2 books historically accurate, one says that jews was living around the temple mount as far back as 4000 years ago, the other says the same and that they was still there 2000 years ago, now taking into consideration that Islam is only at best 1400 years old, I don't see how a bunch of Muslims think that the land is theirs?
The land was stolen by Muslims, and kept for around 800 years, but it isn't theirs!
Gaza has a border with Egypt. Go cry to them.
@@michaelb6327Exactly these people on here crying about those Palestinians seem to forget that most middle Eastern countries don't want them because they cause trouble everywhere they go.
Palestine is a word made up by Greeks to describe philistines. The jews have had a kingdom in Israel for THOUSANDS of years - going back to babylonian and Roman empire empire eras.

I really hate the west for closing the supply chain for the People of Gaza. 😢
Thank you very much BBC for this excellent journalism. The world needs this now.
Does anyone know why the birthrate is so high in Gaza?
When you spend your budget on weapons and ignore the civilians then that’s their decision.
here there is oppression, there is resistance. Palestinians living in Gaza are locked behind high walls by the Israelis, with food and water under blockade, and no one would willingly accept living like that forever. My country, China, suffered from aggression before the 1980s. It was this spirit of resistance that has allowed us to live in security today. At least we possess the world's largest military force, and that is dignity. Fighting for dignity is necessary.
@@stoicsthe4808Unfortunatly that what you have to do with War hungry people like Hamas.
Armies fight Wars, People want peace, but are the Collateral damage in war, that's the Middle East History.
Ok "Winston", tell me was it not being bombed before Hamas came into existence?? Hamas came into being in 1987, and with direct help from Mossad. Your casual dismissal of this slaughter is chilling, as chilling as reading those old fascists talking about a "rat" problem they wanted a final solution to aswell
@@geedee1264 Get the facts.
Article from the Dutch Newspaper Trouw published in this Interview. Call-up the Archive it Exists.
Indeed, on March 31, 1977, Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with PLO executive committee member Zuheir Moshen in which he said:
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”
Even the Palestinian National Charter starts with this article: “Article 1 - The Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.”
Moreover, Balad Party founder Azmi Bishara, an Israeli Arab, stated in an interview: “Well, I don’t think there is a Palestinian nation at all; I think there is an Arab nation. I always thought so, and I have not changed my mind.”
There is no such thing as a Palestinian People. Or Palestine.
Call-up the Archive, I have the picture and the quote.
@@geedee1264 Shit happens, your a grown man?
If any human was in the situation of the Palestinians, what would they do when there are no options? The only solution is to provide a solution that provides dignity for both Palestinian and Israel, otherwise there will only be war.
Thank you for the sane, human response. Rarified air these days.
HAMAS is evil, the Israeli Nationalists/Zionists are evil. Who’s left between? Millions of civilians of both swathes to suffer. Both current governments deserve a reckoning when all is said and done. Not even a century ago they were one in the same people. 70% of Israelis share direct genetic ancestry with 82% of Palestinians.
The world wonders why religion is a dying concept for many of us. This is why. So much barbarism, bloodshed and death over shitty fiction written by conman cavemen and authoritarians wielding said devotion for gain.
Time like this you know they are reaping what they sowed.
Use those tunnel building skills, and leave to an Arab Nation. Just pack up and leave.
I tell you what I wouldnt do. I wouldnt execute unarmed civilians. I wouldnt rape women to death. I wouldnt kill babies. I wouldnt take hostages to hide behind like a coward.
😢Why they supporting the terrorist groups 😢They can live peacefully 😢
The density of the population is the same as in London.
Everyone who lives in gaza and the west bank should have as much rights and freedom as those who live in tel aviv.
that really is a prison, atleast let the innocent get what they need especially the children...
@@contact594Yeah! Who cut off the water, electricity and food? Waterpark or not, it’s a prison alright.
@@contact594 Oh! So you think the Gaza Strip is a holiday resort. Laughable!
@@contact594 you are skum. You deserve what's coming,
@@contact594 the wall along it’s length says it’s a prison, the land, air and sea blockade of the territory says that it’s a prison, the total control that the occupying power holds over all it’s life supporting resources says that it is the largest concentration camp in history. You say that it is way better than many other places,( though you give no examples of where), ludicrous. The real comparison is with their neighbours on the same coast. It is not up to the same standard as their neighbours. Not even close, because they live under a disgusting oppressive apartheid system. But, I am sure that you know all this, just as I am sure that you are not an honest interlocutor.
@@contact594 As I said, you are a dishonest interlocutor. The land further along the coast from Gaza bears no resemblance to the relationship between Texas and California, either politically nor in the relative living standards between the two regions. The land above Gaza was formally Palestine, look at a map prior to 1947. The Palestinians are a dispossessed people who are oppressed by their colonisers and occupiers. So yes, my sympathy does align with the oppressed and dispossessed people. I do not think that under the circumstances they endure, that they should be grateful for not being in a worse condition than some hypothetical third world country that you fail to name.
As for Jews, I have no animosity toward Jewish people. It is the state of Israel that I believe deserves criticism. It is a brutal colonising power that enforces a disgusting level of oppression and discriminatory apartheid against the people they have dispossessed. As a people under occupation the Palestinians do have a right to resist their oppression. However Israel is a tremendous military power, a nuclear power, and they exercise that power mercilessly and disproportionately. Typically, any criticism of the brutal Israeli regime, which has been in violation of international law since its inception, is characterised as antisemitism .
And how dare you demand to know where my outrage was on any other issue, as if it excuses the excesses we are witnessing now. You don’t know anything about me and I do not care to know anything about you.
The treatment of Palestinians in some areas has been criticized for its inhumanity, with reports of restricted movement, harsh living conditions, and limited access to basic resources. Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, in particular, face significant challenges due to a blockade that affects daily life and access to vital services. What's particularly stark is the power imbalance, with Palestine lacking a formal army while facing one of the region's largest military forces. The United Nations has unequivocally declared the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land as illegal under international law. Resolutions like UN Security Council Resolution 2334 emphatically affirm that Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, hold no legal validity and constitute a blatant violation of international law. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is marked by a striking asymmetry. Palestinians, lacking a formal army and with limited international support, resort to forms of resistance against one of the region's most formidable military forces. Labeling such resistance as terrorism oversimplifies a deeply complex situation. It's crucial to acknowledge the legitimate grievances of a people striving for self-determination and basic human rights. Media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has faced criticism for its perceived biases. It's important to address the language used, especially when describing acts of resistance. Referring to all acts of resistance as terrorism can oversimplify a multifaceted issue. A more nuanced approach is needed to accurately represent the various perspectives and motivations involved. Additionally, there's a pressing need to highlight the humanitarian concerns arising from the Israeli occupation. Reports of restricted movement, harsh living conditions, and limited access to resources underscore the urgent need for a just and sustainable resolution. Acknowledging these complexities and using language that reflects a balanced understanding is crucial for fostering a more informed and constructive discourse surrounding this deeply entrenched conflict.
every Westerner should be ashamed. Their skum murdering elite is bought off by the zionists.
If there was no blockade you’d have a suicide bomber in the heart of Israel every day of every year. The blockade is to keep Israelis breathing while the wolves gather around the gate.
What's stark is Israel didnt start this, Has dis. Should Israel just sit back, Never
How many people will die
Any update about the baby girl Sham Abu Shafqa? Plz share
This open air prison is a concentration camp!! DON'T call it a prison!! Atleast in prison you get water and food and a place to sleep
Countries produce their own water and electricity .
Palestine turns the water pipes into bombs , and expects Israel to give them water and electricity. hahaahahaaaa go dark Palestine , that´s what happens when you vote for Hamas to rule your country
It’s a shame they are controlled by a group hell bent on killing Jews. Otherwise they might have a chance to coincide in peace with the Israelis.
My uncle whole family apart from his sister and himself died in a concentration camp how dare you compare a true contrast camp with Gaza.
@@deborahwhitney9427 are you blind?? the same thing is happening in Gaza!
I'm an Israeli, and I want to emphasize that the majority of us genuinely desire peace and hope for a prosperous coexistence with the people in Gaza. We do not hold hostility toward Arabs and peacefully coexist with our Arab citizens. Unfortunately, our radical right-wing government and Hamas extremists do not share this desire for peace. Finding a solution to live together peacefully is a challenging task, but it is essential for the well-being of both sides. My heart goes out to the children and families on both sides, and I strongly believe that NO acts of civilian killing should be tolerated.We should move beyond the rivalry, political hate campaigns, and religious causes. The young generation is intelligent and civilized, and direct dialogue among people can lead to surprising revelations about each other's intentions.
Don’t make excuses about hamas, even if they were no hamas, they would still suffer. Just look at the west bank, idf still killing children and living in horrible condition. The only problem is you’re zionazi government
Biggest open air prison in the world holding 2.5 million people hostages of whom 65% are children under age 18 for over 14 years and you say "No one saw this unprecedented violence coming"??????
There is still food in the shops there.
Is there one palestinian who feels bad about what Hamas did to Israeli and who thinks hostages should be release? Don't ask for sympathy from the world when you suppprt terrorists. blame your own government, Hamas for destroying your lives..
So your saying that if Israel bombs them they are supposed to just take it and not react at all? Yes, what Hamas has done is not right but it's the only retaliation they have and is not compared to the atrocities Israel has done to the people of palestine. They have taken over their land and massacred their people by the thousands.
How do you expect people to be treated like criminals all their lives with no freedom of movement subjected to so much violence and be terrorised killed and their lands grabbed by settlers just keep quiet forever when the world sees this atrocities committed on them and does nothing to help . Sometimes enough is enough you have to stand and let the world see their pain .everyone knows the Palestinians are being terrorised but they still support isreal because their hearts are not in the right place
There are many Palestinians, and many Israeli's that are sick and tied of their leaders failing them. It's the same all around the world. Only narcist, borderline - psychopaths want to be leaders these days.
@@bettyam9917Who started this war? HAMAS! Stop twisting facts! Gaza is not “Occupied” by Israel, they were simply kept out of Israel by a wall! And kept out for obvious reasons!

They don't need your hollow sympathy you apartheid supporter
What a mess ! It must stop
Poor kids 😢
Hitler was enabled by journalists.... THIS IS TEXT-BOOK example, here today! SEE IT NOW, like it was in the 30s......
They receive so much money from the whole world for humanitarian purpose. why was it not used to build infrastructure, economy, etc.? how come they have so much in terms of bombs, rockets, munitions but can't be independently sufficient for water, food, medical aid and other infrastructure to benefit their citizens?
go there and fix it idiot
@@grey-op2pcNon Muslims wouldn't even be allowed to live there. Its not just Jewish people they hate they hate anyone who doesn't believe in their violent backwards horrible religion. But they sure like other countries money and aid.
BECAUSE ISRAEL CONTROLS HOW MUCH AID GOES TO GAZA PAY ATTENTION! HAMAS IS BEING FUNDED BY OTHERS COUNTRIES THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PALESTIAN
Why would you build infrastructure just to be blown away by israel?
They do build. Do you not see the city and roads and infrastructure. Also, the Israelis and blockade make it extremely difficult to even move material in or out or to have their own economy at all. Please read and learn more about the issue rather than jumping to such conclusions.
Aio. Dani🥺😭😭
Why is britain🇬🇧 not ashamed of the fact that it itself is the cause of people dying today? Will britain apologize for this?
According to figures compiled by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, aid to Palestinians amounted to more than $40 billion between 1994 and 2020. The largest portion of this assistance (35.4 percent) went to support the PA budget, while the rest was allocated to various services and economic sectors in the Palestinian territories. The bulk of the aid-nearly 72 percent-came from ten donors: the European Union (18.9), the United States (14.2), Saudi Arabia (9.9), Germany (5.8), the United Arab Emirates (5.2), Norway (4.8), United Kingdom (4.3), the World Bank (3.2), Japan (2.9), and France (2.7).
Non-Arab Donors
Non-Arab donors provided close to 77 percent of all aid for the period in question.
They owe it to them for giving away their land for Israel. And for not really pushing for two state solution. For looking away and providing impunity to Israel while the later has occupied West Bank, illegally occupying and building settlements on Palestinian land and blockading Gaza.
That’s could easily get spent with all the different time Gaza had to rebuild
@@nanomunu The land of Israel was never their land. There has NEVER been an Arab country called Palestine in all of human history. The fact is that Jews are the indigenous population of Israel, not Arabs from Arabia.
@@michaelb6327 well the UN rights commission, UN general assembly and UN Security Council which are pro Israel all seem to disagree with you. According to UN Israel has been and continues to illegally occupy Palestinian land. They have continued to destroy Palestinian homes and build illegal settlements.

I really don’t get it. Damn politics! Why war when peace is can be an option? Makes me sick to even think of what poor civilians of both countries go through. It’s heartbreaking😢😥😭
Peace is not possible when dealing with a terror organization.

Why thydid that
We have made this world too divided. Its not working. The system is broken. Life sustainment for all. Peace and Love....
How ironic that a nation proud to be recognized as the only democracy in the Middle East can do this to other human beings. While Hamas has done a grave injustice to the civilians in Israel, let us not deny the fact that the Palestinian people have suffered too much injustice in the hands of their oppressor for years and years. They were stripped of their dignity and treated like animals. The Jewish people should also reflect on what they have become.
Arabs have rejected every single peace treaty offered to them. Arabs are not the victims, they are the aggressors and are reaping what they have sown for the past 75 years.
Yes indeed, you are right.
What a horrible person you are calling the murder and .r..e of innocent people is more than a injustice its totally aborant.
@@deborahwhitney9427 I am sorry you feel that way. But I think you are either ill informed or your comprehension level is problematic. I never said that what Hamas did is justified. It was barbaric and criminal. But Israel as a nation has a policy of apartheid and that's abhorrent.
It’s not abhorrent. Palestinians HATE Israelis. You MUST keep them separated
How can anyone be called a refugee and have a dedicated UN agency when the act of fleeing took place 80 years ago?
does gaza have a government?

Question no one dares to ask is why they have 6-7 children per family.
Probably no contraceptives in a Islamic community. Starting a family and hoping for a better future might be the only enjoyment they're getting in life.
To multiply in order to have their martyrs! Sick
They lose a few as suicide bombers, so they compensate!
In places with high child mortality rates and low economic outcomes, people tend to have more children. The reason there are high child mortality rates is because the IDF either actively kills their children with force or they deprive them of basic necessities.
No job or recreation just breeding like rats.
😢
This is bad
my friend is in here :(
The only ones making it a prison is hamas. They wont let their own citizens leave.
Pls tell me how within 24 hr notice would half the Palestinian population evacuate north Gaza. That’s around a million people. Additionally please explain how 3 days ago when civilians were taking “safe route” to southern Gaza they were bombed.
@@rafah979 then tell hamas to stop blocking the roads and preventing them from leaving. Hamas wants to keep them there. They dont care about the lives of palestinians. Hams are full of animals, Tell hamas not me to let the civilians out. The UN is there, let them figure it out. All i can say is good luck and hopefully Egypt lets them in.
@@rafah979 Israel hasn't bombed the safe routes. They bombed the militants check points stopping people from leaving. Also they didn't bomb the Egyptian crossing they bombed tunnels nearby. It's all propaganda. Israel wants the civilians to leave so it's an easier military campaign. THINK!.
Also they had 3 days.
@@SamLevin-bg2dh hamas is underground, UN is in fact not there, and Egypt does not want 1.1 million refugees to come in. Palestinians have the right to be in their land and not have their neighborhoods, hospitals, and schools bombed for no reason.
The Notion that the invader (occupier) is defending itself is a logical and legal fallacy, The person(s) is committing an offence under international law. So how can it possible that person(s) who is in an offensive position (legally, morally and physically) can be in a lawful position of defence ? I'm ready to stand corrected, somebody please enlighten me as to how this a possibility in the logical and/or legal sense
Arabs from Arabia are the invaders. Jews are the indigenous people of Israel and have lived on that land before Islam existed.
its not occupation when u buy land from a person who sold their land, they have gone to other places, seen how much u have improved the land in only 30 years and now they want to return to the land they sold to you, you dont allow them to, they start war against you for 0 reason, you win and take even more of their land as a result of their loss, then you even give back all the land you won in the war for peace treaties, pay them to stop trying to wipe you out, and they use that money to plan even more attacks instead of improving their population? what are you even on about? should have thought a couple of steps ahead before fighting someone you cant🤷♂🤦♂
The thought that you can deal with terrorist is a logical fallacy. Isreal is only defend itself. Hamas is trying to make peace impossible.
It depends on how far back in history you want to go. The land of now called Israel was originally occupied by Jewish people until the the Romans began actively driving them out. We are talking 70 AD.
@@JenLunny ey you forgot that we were kicked out like 5 more times throughout history and massacred some more times as well. We were also kicked out by the ARAB EMPIRE which they now claim that they were always been here yeah ok bro
Fighting evil with evil.... isn't going to change anything.
BBC should make a video about hamas
If anyone examines the per capita aid that reached Gaza in the last 5 years would discover that per capita aid is in the excess of 1 million USD.
Why has none of this been used to improve the situation of the Palestinian people?
Please ask Hamas leadership
Because all the money goes to Hamas to buy weapons and build tunnels. Just look at Jerusalem one side is beautiful the other is the projects…..there is no progression!
It's been 70 years and they have built nothing. Within hours of Israel closing the free fuel pipeline it put the cavemen in the dark.
Bad math
Source: trust me bro . . . Is this the same Gaza that has been under blockade by Israel for decades? Same Israel that according to the UN illegally occupying Palestinian land?
no it hasnt it has just been minimalized in resourced from israel because we let hamas take care of these people in gaza, liberating gaza from our control so its their problem their government uses all of the money its been donated (about 50 billion from 1997 - 2020) into planning EVEN MORE vicious attacks to wipe us all out.@@badomen9057
No mercy for hamas!
why would they airstrike the only exit wtf!
I don’t think their hitting the actual crossing just near it. If the crossing was hit Egypt would freak out. My guess is Israel is hitting Hamas targets near the crossing probably a lot have packed up and left with civilians.
40 km length walk in 8 hours? One hour to walk 5km! I don’t think it is walking speed. More like a jogging pace.
Blame hamas
Why is the key to ending the suffering in Gaza the stopping IDF actions
and NOT the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages?
🤦
Because they're been in 75 years on bondage.
@@narlywaves2371Really? 75 years ago Gaza was Egypt…🤡
@@cowboyx9380Exactly but people just believe anything they've been told without even researching the facts.
Israel holds thousands of Palestinians, including women and children, hostage in its prisons with no trial and no charges. Hamas has said it will release all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian hostages. Nobody believes that Israel would stop destroying Gaza if Hamas released the hostages unconditionally. If you believe that, you're a fool.
FINALLY THANK YOU BRO. ILY@@cowboyx9380

BBC still calling hamas dogs "militants". So?
Since Iran,Turkey and Qatar love them so much the UN should arrange to transport all 2.3m of them to these countries to save their lives.
oh wait! but iran qatar and turkey dont want any responsibility of these people LMAO neither any other arab country in this world wants them lol. too bad so sad you have been betrayed.
Why will they ?
They are scared, if the terrorists can disguise themselves as civilians and enter their country and put their people in jeopardy.
Well the countries that support Israel can give them their land(Also bet most Palestinians are older than Israel itself)
@@anisakhatri2866 no they arent older, they are arabs so by what you are saying i am older than israel mt country because i am ¾ arab???? And my dad is fully arab??? No sense at all, also there arent any palestinians mentioned in ANY explorer of the middle east and "palestine 🤡". Also 50% of palestinians are kids of 20yo and under so most palestinians are NOT older than israel and definitely not the land of israel as even the ancient Egyptians called it the land of israel more than 5000 years ago, and also the land of israel is mentioned in the quran and said that the jews inherited the land from god.
I hope you understand that, if these people leave they wont be able to return. Why are the Palestinans meant to leave their country to Israelis (who arent even native to the region)?
Why Egypt closed it's borders ?

THEY CAN MAKE THOUSAND OF ROCKETS
YET CANNOT IMPROVE THE LIVES OF THEIR PEOPLE
1 ROCKET COST 5K DOLLARS
NOW IMAGINE THE 5K ROCKETS
Do you even know why don´t don´t have water?
Europe gave Palestine tens of millions of dollars to build infrastructure , water systems and electric generation buildings.
But what did the Palestinians do ? They took out the water pipes and turned them into missile shells . Then they shot those missiles and hit the electric infrastructure .
Israel provides electricity and water PAID AND PRODUCED BY ISRAEL , when they have NO OBLIGATION to do that .
Palestine voted for Hamas , then they need to face te consequences .
So why u wanna stay and/ or go back 😂 people escape prison. Most luxurious prison I've seen 😂
Why should Israel be responsible for supplying them anything! They wanted to be independant, they are, so whats the problem? No one stopped them from building facilities for water, power, etc…noone stopped them from farming, they Chose to do nothing, and demand welfare from Israel! This misery is all on them!
Spent the past hour looking at how much land is dedicated to agriculture alone on Google maps.
Took a look at the Gaza Strip.
Not sure what the bigger joke is.
Why is it so highly populated?
Because they have lost so much of their land due to illegal settler occupation. They are now confined to Gaza and the West Bank. And some of the West Bank has been taken over by settlers.
@@allylove21 How many Jews live in Gaza? How many Arabs live in Israel?
If the world didn't have the United States, then humanity would achieve everlasting peace.
You’re a Liberal mook😒
Under chinese rule ? Are you mentally deficient or something like that ?
Jewnited States. It's an occupied nation by the 2%.
There seems to have been enough resources in Gaza to stockpile thousands of rockets, train and supply thousands of terrorist fighters, so there appears to be no shortage of resources. It is back to economics 101, Gun and Butter question. Hamas could have chosen peace and trade instead of terrorism and destruction and genocide of the Jews.
