As a Palestinian Christian, my heart breaks for Hammam and his family. I never thought I would see the day when governments would treat human lives less than mosquitos. What I find so depraved is the American government is supporting these atrocities, while speaking of Palestinians with such distain and dehumanization. They call us the barbarians, while pretending to be the civilized ones. In reality, the heads of western states are the most barbaric monsters that feed the killing machine of these genocidal lunatics. Shameful!
Hammam's words touched the hearts of every oppressed people in the past or present. We can't feel the pain he feels but we sure fully support his message, today he speaks for all of us.
@@YvetteWilliams-dx2kk Shame on the UK and US Governments and respect to the just American and British people such as you 2. Support and prayers 🤲 for Gaza and all Palestine.
@@nasersiddiquee7253 He's not. The us government gains money from aipac and othe organisations which directly help in winning in elections it's not the peoples fault its the ones who stuff money to the politicians.
For the first time it’s hit me how cruel not allowing Palestinians the right to return is. They can’t just pick up and leave when things are bad. It’s heartbreaking. It’s also a sign of their strength. They prefer to stay and risk their lives and the lives of their kids for the sake of having the right to be on their land. True bravery. Edit: The comments can get annoying. It’s the first time I’ve digested the extent of the cruelty. I have a history with the Palestinian plight (uncles wife is from there, I’m ethnically Lebanese and lived there as a teen, I visited one of the largest Palestinian refugee camps where uncles wife’s family is, dad’s a journalist who covered the region, etc…it does go on). It’s just sometimes things hit you deeper later. Maybe aging has something to do with it.
Well, even the issue of "prefer to stay" is one thing, but the reality is, they legit can't go anywhere. Gotta be very careful with what I say here, cuz TH-cam banned me for speaking about this for a day already..... Okay, the gazans legit have no way out of that strip of land....rafah gate is closed, and the other gate is the oppressor's gate. Only thing they can do is try to swim but, yea, that won't go well at all....
You say this now but this has been going on for 75 years. Imagine a country on the other side of the world decided your city is to be the land of someone else without you having any say about it since its your land.
@@MozamBeak bro, I’m British AND Lebanese. I know the full extent of the horror. I lived in Lebanon for 7 years (for dad’s work, he’s a journalist). I saw Ain El Helwe. Sometimes, when you’ve been exposed to this stuff your whole life, when the news is constantly on in your home from when you’re an infant, some words hit home after.
The whole world is seeing the TRUTH about the illegal occupation. There is no turning back. The world is now knowing what Palestinians have been going through for 75+ years. Blessings, Everyone... 🧡.
You are a fkng hero Owen, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Some people treat christian Palestinians like mythical beings, It is about land not religion.
@jeanmarshfanDo they ? So why do they want Gaza land? Explain the illegal settlements? Explain the murder of innocent Palestinian children,women and men?
Even after they'll open the Rafah border completely, Palestinians will have to choose between leaving their land for EVER, or die on their land. Either way, they loose. And you know who wins... I feel hopeless. But at the same time, we are millions, if not billions to believe that Israel is a criminel, genocidal state. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING, SHOULDN'T WE???
No we can't because the pro-Israel lobby in America is absolutely powerful and has been working since the 1950s to control the narrative about Israel and Palestine.
Leaving your land is not a lose, we were not put on this earth to die for the sake of a land. Human life is way more important and it should be preserve in order to save a future for the next generation.
during the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War. Damour, a Maronite Christian town on the main highway south of Beirut, was attacked by left-wing militants of the Palestine Liberation Organisation and as-Sa'iqa. Many of its people died in battle or in the massacre that followed, and the others were forced to flee.[2
I'm so thankful Owen interviews more Palestinians now, even given the devastating situation they are bravely representing their country and culture in amazing manner. All solidarity and love from Egypt. Ceasefire NOW & Free Palestine 🇵🇸
I’m guilty of watching news passively at times but having watched this no more. I will donate, support and champion the Palestinian people for ever more. There is no justification for this genocide … none!! I stand with every citizen of Palestine.
So happy Owen is doing this, platforms for Palestinian voices have been shrinking in numbers and influence, time to get back on that horse and write our narrative. Hammam represented his Palestinian Christian community phenomenally. All love and solidarity! 🇵🇸

It’s a horrific atrocity. But I do find it concerning that so many people think this is way worse than anything else we’ve seen. The Darfur Genocide has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths for example.
Owen my dear . Thanks for your support. Please share than in 13 January a massive protest all around the world for the sick of Palestinian people and children
It breaks my heart that our Christian community in Gaza is dwindling. We, Gazens, are very protective of our Christian community They are decent and beautiful people ❤️
42:26 Thank you Hamman for sharing your familys story. I suddenly felt myself tearing up as you spoke about your cousin and great aunt. I am so sorry and appreciate you speaking out on Owen's channel. All Palestinians are in our thoughts and prayers. Never loose hope. @Owen thank you for your amazing and extremely valuable coverage. When I need to get my facts right I always end up here.
She bled to death, helpless and alone on the road over 24 hours, as they watched to see who would come to help her so they could maim some more. Then gets bulldozed by a tank. Absolutely horrific! How will the survivors have any semblance of a normal life moving forward after all they have suffered.. that is assuming any people are left and allowed to live.
Thank you Owen for giving your guests such a safe space to tell their stories, and showing such compassion. Thank you Hammam for having the strength to tell your story... une horreur sans nom Free Palestine
But they are giving air time and their lies are being taken for truth , they are not called terrorrists but the freedom fighters are called terrorrists .
💙May we do whatever we can to help stop these crimes against humanity in Palestine. Every loving thought, prayer, and action in support of their freedom and wellbeing is helpful. Thank you, bless you, Amen
They make rules because big brother US has their back. The U.S. could end this with one phone call, telling Israel no more billions annually, no more arms, no more political or moral cover. It would be simple. But Biden won’t do it any more than a Trump administration would do it because of domestic politics which are infected with pro Israel cancerous lobby.
I rarely comment on any social media but I had to say this made me cry. Please tell Hammam there are people who care and are outraged by those actions. Thank you Owen for your fearless representation of current events without any herd instinct. History will see the (few) journalists who stood up during this genocide and spoke out- Its just a question of when will the killing stop and that depends, almost exclusively, on the US president waking up and finally accepting Israel is an Apartheid project.
There is no way he doesn’t know., Biden, Blinken and their regime, they know. That is why fundamental changes are needed, leaders are not representing the people, most people want to stop this genocide!
Netanyahu in English: We are fighting for western values, like freedom & democracy. Netanyahu in Hebrew: We are fighting for a Greater Israel, and I know how to lie in English.
This interview broke my heart….spoken with such honesty …and received by Owen with so much compassion…. I’m not a Christian but my heart bleeds for all the Palestinian people. 😭😢😭😢
Me too, no religion on my part. Maybe Bertram Russell's Yellow Tea Pot, I am a priest of that. Believe in it and me and you'll receive eternity in paradise.
I bet if someone pointed that out with proof she cannot neglect what she said she would suddenly claim there are several reports. Always twisting, never ashaimed🤮
I am so sorry to hear these accounts of the family massacre. Thank you for having the courage to speak up. My prayers are with everyone in Gaza and their families
I am truly shocked to hear comments here where people say they are only now realising the Palestinian situation. I grew up in South Africa under apartheid and have always known about Palestine. As early as the 70's, when I was a teenager, we read everything to do with Palestine, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and those who, through colonisation and imperialism, have affected their politics. It will behove any person with a shred of humanity to know and understand the world we live in. I suppose for South Africans of colour, it was our shared struggle that caused our interest but overtime it became a need to be aware of what was truth and or lies, especially since our government at the time lied all the time, we were living our truth in those lies.
Lots of love to South Africans from Cairo, Egypt. I first learned about SA history from Palestinian writers and historians and been reading about this strong connection between Palestinian and other nations who've been colonized or ethnically cleansed.
I'm from Pakistan, and one of my earliest memories is learning about the Palestine and Israel situation. It's heartbreaking to see it escalate even further to such a horrific extent 😢
I'm a white south African woman who grew up in the apartheid in south Africa, my parents were activists against apartheid, I can remember growing up in rallies for the freedom and liberty of the south African people. I gave been married to a Palestinian man for 16 years and we have 2 children, all people are equal and should have equal rights, Palestine will be free!
Grettings from Denmark.. from the bottom of my heart thank you Owen.. we Will never forget your work! What you are doing is immense.. and keep on the hard work ❤
Hammam, I pray for your family, community and country and try daily to get the US to force Israel to cease fire now. I knew a Palestinian Christian family in San Francisco via Lebanon after the Nakba. I'm so sorry we've failed for so long but we're not done trying. Owen, bless you and keep us updated. I'm not ashamed to say I cry every day as I see news and I make myself look and listen, because if I don't weep for a few minutes, if I don't release that grief and send waves of love and compassion to those who lost so much, grief will metastasize as fury. There's more than enough wrath already in this battered world.
Have a wonderful Christmas Owen. Thank you for continuing to expose the truth, and fight for a fairer, more compassionate society❤ Hopefully 2024 will be the year we start to turn things around, from the complete carnage the Tories have created!!!
Thank you to Mr. Farrah for sharing his pain. As he reminds us, this story and his family's suffering has been going on since 1948 in silence up until now. How much longer can this continue for. Shocked to the core!
'If I must die, you must live to tell my story' - Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer wrote this poem and posted it on social media on November 1, 2023, and Killed by an Israeli missile on Nov. 7th 2023
The sheer injustice of what is happening in Gaza/Palestine is so heartbreaking it's beyond words. The indifference displayed and the actual support given by the American/UK governments is criminal.
Thank you Hammam. The horror that the Gazans, including your family, are experiencing is unimaginable. No words to express my condolences as a fellow Torontonian. Sending love and blessings to you and Owen.
....Because Israel is prioritising brave journalists in it's killing spree and there are no international journalists in Gaza. And in any case Western mainstream media and politics is under control of the Israeli lobby.
This breaks my heart. I go on a vigil every week but the politicians don't listen or act to get justice. So sorry for this deeply personal testimony of the horror makes me so sad.
Owen, having never heard of you before this conflict- so grateful of your bravery to bring the truth the British (and wider) public. One of the handful of journalists that I’ll remember forever for doing the right thing.
You are one of those great Humane and serious analysts that are so much needed in such an obscure moment of human history. Not only regarding Palestine but increasing use of Technology for war, vigilance, genocide and disinformation.
It's very disturbing and painful to hear how much they endured and continue to endure. People of Palestine😢 it's obvious that it's ethnic cleansing it has nothiyto do with religion.
In June 1967 Israeli aircraft attacked USS LIBERTY, an unarmed navy technical research ship in international waters off the Egyptian coast killing 34 and injuring 171 Americans. This was done on purpose and Israelis tried to put the blame on Egypt.
It was an intelligence ship . They wanted the ship gone so they could not report on the Israelis conducting war . PS . The way they conducted the attack , the lies they gave afterwards and the cover up by the US makes me 🤢🤮 . I don't know who i despise more the iof or the us military top brass . And Justice was never made , recognition of what really happened was not given .
"We do not talk to the weak, We only talk to the strong!" Netanyahue 11 months ago on Israeli National TV Interview (Jan 2023), now we know what he meant by saying "weak"
Thank you Hammam Farah and Owen Jones. There aren't words to console the people of Palestine, I believe every human being feels this heavy weight of grief and helplessness as well 💔 ☮🕯
I’m from Australia and I would like to express my solidarity and sympathy with the victims and their families, especially the Palestinian children who have been massacred or maimed by the Israeli bombs. I pray for their recovery and well-being. I hope that the situation will end soon, and that a lasting solution will be found based on justice, equality, and human rights. I believe that violence only breeds more violence, and that peace is the only way forward.
The sympathy and despair I feel for Hammam, his family and those effected by these ongoing atrocities is only matched by the complete disgust and disdain I feel for israel, the IDF and the united corporations of america.
Thank you Owen. You are a source of hope and courage for many. Thanks for being the voice of reason in the West. I can imagine it is not only unfashionable to be fair at this time, it is also dangerous.

It breaks my heart that our Christian community in Gaza is dwindling. We, Gazens, are very protective of our Christian community
They are decent and beautiful people ❤️
We believe you
42:26 Thank you Hamman for sharing your familys story. I suddenly felt myself tearing up as you spoke about your cousin and great aunt. I am so sorry and appreciate you speaking out on Owen's channel. All Palestinians are in our thoughts and prayers. Never loose hope.
@Owen thank you for your amazing and extremely valuable coverage. When I need to get my facts right I always end up here.
She bled to death, helpless and alone on the road over 24 hours, as they watched to see who would come to help her so they could maim some more. Then gets bulldozed by a tank. Absolutely horrific!
How will the survivors have any semblance of a normal life moving forward after all they have suffered.. that is assuming any people are left and allowed to live.
IM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN 🇺🇸 PALESTINIAN CHRISTIAN ❤
❤❤
American, surely.not!? The US is such a force for evil across the world.
"IM PROUD TO BE AMERICAN".... What ??? Do you support the Genocide too ???
I’m so sorry Hamman. My thoughts are with you and the Palestinians from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Owen for giving your guests such a safe space to tell their stories, and showing such compassion.
Thank you Hammam for having the strength to tell your story... une horreur sans nom
Free Palestine
Thanks for bringing this important but often overlooked side of the Israeli occupation to light.
How is the Israeli ambasdador so mad and still given a voice in the UK ???
Meanwhile there is a Palestinian Ambassador in London who is fantastic and truthful
@@eileenmc4746actually, he is. Try listening to him without being so defensive!!!!
fun fact the israeli ambassador led a movement to build more israeli illegal settlements in the west bank.
@@eileenmc4746Israel lies all the time..
LOCK HER UP.
SHE'S A TERRORIST.
Thanks Owen for being the media we need.
When people lie they loose their class and integrity.
First she says she saw the report then she says she didn't see the report. Stuttering in her lies. Making a fool of herself
They are taught to be stupid liars!
@@TA-vu9sethe corporate media gives these liars a voice. At least these lies were challenged by the host.
But they are giving air time and their lies are being taken for truth , they are not called terrorrists but the freedom fighters are called terrorrists .
They’ve lost the script, it now just gibberish, whatever comes into their heads.
@@TA-vu9seThey are not accustom to being challenged. So they are sloppy liars.
THANK YOU OWEN! YOUR NAME WILL BE REMEMBERED IN HISTORY!! ❤️❤️
Thanks Owen for giving the oppressed a voice.
no opression at all! go back to your homeland! (Egypt/Saudi Arabia)
💙May we do whatever we can to help stop these crimes against humanity in Palestine. Every loving thought, prayer, and action in support of their freedom and wellbeing is helpful. Thank you, bless you, Amen
😂😂
@@Munjya_Jinnmay you laugh in 🔥
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope one day that Israel will be held accountable.
The real problem is; Israeli government makes all the rules, and all those who have a disagreement are marginalized, imprisoned, or eliminated.
So sorry for your family. Thank so Owen fir bringing the truth to us.
They make rules because big brother US has their back.
The U.S. could end this with one phone call, telling Israel no more billions annually, no more arms, no more political or moral cover. It would be simple. But Biden won’t do it any more than a Trump administration would do it because of domestic politics which are infected with pro Israel cancerous lobby.
The USA facilitates this.
@@briancrowther3272 evidently
Sounds EXACTLY like 1940s germany, there was a word describing such small moustache group.
I rarely comment on any social media but I had to say this made me cry. Please tell Hammam there are people who care and are outraged by those actions. Thank you Owen for your fearless representation of current events without any herd instinct. History will see the (few) journalists who stood up during this genocide and spoke out- Its just a question of when will the killing stop and that depends, almost exclusively, on the US president waking up and finally accepting Israel is an Apartheid project.
US is about making money and world domination: it doesn't care about human life.
There is no way he doesn’t know., Biden, Blinken and their regime, they know. That is why fundamental changes are needed, leaders are not representing the people, most people want to stop this genocide!
Netanyahu in English: We are fighting for western values, like freedom & democracy.
Netanyahu in Hebrew: We are fighting for a Greater Israel, and I know how to lie in English.
Freedom and democracy for Palestine 🇵🇸
Loool soooo true!! ;)
the truth every1 knows
He is the evil spokesman
either way, it's just a politician telling everyone what they want to hear.
This interview broke my heart….spoken with such honesty …and received by Owen with so much compassion…. I’m not a Christian but my heart bleeds for all the Palestinian people. 😭😢😭😢
Me too, no religion on my part. Maybe Bertram Russell's Yellow Tea Pot, I am a priest of that. Believe in it and me and you'll receive eternity in paradise.
thank you owen for telling the truth keep going from egypt ❤❤❤
Deeply moving - all wishes of care for Hammam's family, and all the Palestinian families
Merci beaucoup Monsieur Owen Jones. Votre travail est tellement important.
I sat speechless throughout this whole video :(
This is a war on humanity!
The mayor of Jerusalem said “she’s seen the report then 5 seconds later she’s not seen the report” didn’t anyone pick up on that 😂.
She is a psychological liar and she has deception in her vain. She also said no Cristian.
I bet if someone pointed that out with proof she cannot neglect what she said she would suddenly claim there are several reports.
Always twisting, never ashaimed🤮
I am so sorry to hear these accounts of the family massacre. Thank you for having the courage to speak up. My prayers are with everyone in Gaza and their families
I am truly shocked to hear comments here where people say they are only now realising the Palestinian situation. I grew up in South Africa under apartheid and have always known about Palestine. As early as the 70's, when I was a teenager, we read everything to do with Palestine, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and those who, through colonisation and imperialism, have affected their politics. It will behove any person with a shred of humanity to know and understand the world we live in. I suppose for South Africans of colour, it was our shared struggle that caused our interest but overtime it became a need to be aware of what was truth and or lies, especially since our government at the time lied all the time, we were living our truth in those lies.
Better later than sooner though
Lots of love to South Africans from Cairo, Egypt. I first learned about SA history from Palestinian writers and historians and been reading about this strong connection between Palestinian and other nations who've been colonized or ethnically cleansed.
I'm from Pakistan, and one of my earliest memories is learning about the Palestine and Israel situation. It's heartbreaking to see it escalate even further to such a horrific extent 😢
I have known it for more than 40 years, but some here are not even 40 so it is understandable
I'm a white south African woman who grew up in the apartheid in south Africa, my parents were activists against apartheid, I can remember growing up in rallies for the freedom and liberty of the south African people. I gave been married to a Palestinian man for 16 years and we have 2 children, all people are equal and should have equal rights, Palestine will be free!
Grettings from Denmark.. from the bottom of my heart thank you Owen.. we Will never forget your work! What you are doing is immense.. and keep on the hard work ❤
Another briliant Interview lined up Thank you Owen. also have a nice Crimbo.
Very lucky to have these brilliant interviewees, and you too ❤️🇵🇸
Just by listening to this is horrifying, I can't imagine living it. Palestinians are so strong
@YaakovAltmann Remember kids, when somebody has their hands around your neck, don't fight back or you're a violent evil person!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Its free and the name is Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🖕
Free palestine. 🇵🇸
Hammam, I pray for your family, community and country and try daily to get the US to force Israel to cease fire now. I knew a Palestinian Christian family in San Francisco via Lebanon after the Nakba. I'm so sorry we've failed for so long but we're not done trying. Owen, bless you and keep us updated. I'm not ashamed to say I cry every day as I see news and I make myself look and listen, because if I don't weep for a few minutes, if I don't release that grief and send waves of love and compassion to those who lost so much, grief will metastasize as fury. There's more than enough wrath already in this battered world.
Have a wonderful Christmas Owen. Thank you for continuing to expose the truth, and fight for a fairer, more compassionate society❤ Hopefully 2024 will be the year we start to turn things around, from the complete carnage the Tories have created!!!
Free Palestine!
@YaakovAltmann so, to be clear, you want e t h n i c c l e a n s i n g.
Thank you to Mr. Farrah for sharing his pain.
As he reminds us, this story and his family's suffering has been going on since 1948 in silence up until now. How much longer can this continue for. Shocked to the core!
'If I must die, you must live to tell my story' - Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer wrote this poem and posted it on social media on November 1, 2023, and Killed by an Israeli missile on Nov. 7th 2023
The sheer injustice of what is happening in Gaza/Palestine is so heartbreaking it's beyond words. The indifference displayed and the actual support given by the American/UK governments is criminal.
Thank you Hammam. The horror that the Gazans, including your family, are experiencing is unimaginable. No words to express my condolences as a fellow Torontonian. Sending love and blessings to you and Owen.
She says she just saw the reports that morning and at the end she says she didn't hadn't seen the reports.
I have just watched the sermon of Bethlehem pastor Munthar Isaac and I was In tears
Thank you Owen and Hammam for spreading the truth.
My condolence brother Hammam for your losses. And my heart goes with all Palestinians.
I am so sorry for your family Hammam. It hurts to hear these stories everyday.
This is sick, this is evil.. how that was hidden from us?
....Because Israel is prioritising brave journalists in it's killing spree and there are no international journalists in Gaza. And in any case Western mainstream media and politics is under control of the Israeli lobby.
US is equally or more to blame as without their support Israel would not be able to accomplish any of this evil action
Thanks for bringing out the personal stories of Gazan suffering… ❤️🩹💚🖤🤍 May Elham Farah RIP and all other Gazans who we lost in this nightmare
This breaks my heart. I go on a vigil every week but the politicians don't listen or act to get justice. So sorry for this deeply personal testimony of the horror makes me so sad.
. Who shoots an old lady ? Wtf .heartless. what even more crual is that they let her suffer on the ground untill she finally died . Its horrible
Thats what they do 😢😢😢😢😢they don’t fight with the real mens out there 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
And what they did afterwards with their tanks? Thats INHUMANE and EVIL..
@@avaraniaI just read they also have done that to pregnant women. Bulldozed. Pregnant women. Imagine that.
Thank you brother for having the courage to sharing the story and the truth about this genocide👏
Thank you for the objective analysis.
Heartbreaking 😭
😭😭😭😭
This is way we need independent journalism! Thank you so much Owen'! I am so sorry for unit Aliham and for her family and for all 🇵🇸ppl 💔💔
Watch ‘son of Hamas’ trying to get out the facts..
Looking to the son of Hamas is against humanity and people need humanity nowadays more then closing their minds and hearts!
@@speaktruth9313
Owen, having never heard of you before this conflict- so grateful of your bravery to bring the truth the British (and wider) public. One of the handful of journalists that I’ll remember forever for doing the right thing.
So hard to listen to. Well done Owen, keep it up.
Thank you Owen for bringing Hammam Farah on your show!
You are one of those great Humane and serious analysts that are so much needed in such an obscure moment of human history. Not only regarding Palestine but increasing use of Technology for war, vigilance, genocide and disinformation.
Thank you for telling your story. Hugs. I am trying so hard to speak for you and all Palestinians.
Really heart breaking what the Palestinian are going through 😢😢
Thank you for broadcasting this heartbreaking account of this brave man. It is time that all this is brought to everyone's attention.
"I saw the report". Narrative breaks down "I didn't see the report".
It's very disturbing and painful to hear how much they endured and continue to endure. People of Palestine😢 it's obvious that it's ethnic cleansing it has nothiyto do with religion.
In June 1967 Israeli aircraft attacked USS LIBERTY, an unarmed navy technical research ship in international waters off the Egyptian coast killing 34 and injuring 171 Americans. This was done on purpose and Israelis tried to put the blame on Egypt.
It was an intelligence ship . They wanted the ship gone so they could not report on the Israelis conducting war .
PS . The way they conducted the attack , the lies they gave afterwards and the cover up by the US makes me 🤢🤮 . I don't know who i despise more the iof or the us military top brass .
And Justice was never made , recognition of what really happened was not given .
Thank you Owen ❤️ The main stream media should be interviewing these people!
Thank you Owen for bringing Hammam on
Thank you for allowing your guests time to tell their stories ❤
"We do not talk to the weak, We only talk to the strong!" Netanyahue 11 months ago on Israeli National TV Interview (Jan 2023), now we know what he meant by saying "weak"
He could say we cannot oppress humiliate the strong we do the weak
Just imagine that this has been going on for 75 years
Where are you finding all these voices? you are doing Gods work on this channel! Thank you
Thank you Hammam Farah and Owen Jones. There aren't words to console the people of Palestine, I believe every human being feels this heavy weight of grief and helplessness as well 💔 ☮🕯
I’m from Australia and I would like to express my solidarity and sympathy with the victims and their families, especially the Palestinian children who have been massacred or maimed by the Israeli bombs. I pray for their recovery and well-being. I hope that the situation will end soon, and that a lasting solution will be found based on justice, equality, and human rights. I believe that violence only breeds more violence, and that peace is the only way forward.
Love you Owen my brother.
The sympathy and despair I feel for Hammam, his family and those effected by these ongoing atrocities is only matched by the complete disgust and disdain I feel for israel, the IDF and the united corporations of america.
The United Corporations of America is America's new corrupted name. The American people must rise up and reclaim its true name.
Thank you Owen. You are a source of hope and courage for many. Thanks for being the voice of reason in the West. I can imagine it is not only unfashionable to be fair at this time, it is also dangerous.
