There is no other way to say it ….. from Australia
Pathetic…Britain and the West created this monster, so they've always had the ability to stop it..but will never do so…they must have a Western outpost in the middle east no matter what the cost to innocent lives.
If it wasn't for US backing Israel would already be labeled a rogue terrorist state.
Can all Israeli passport holders vote, or only those living in Israel since a fixed period of time ?
Ethnic cleansing of Palestine has been going on since 1948. Following every palestinian stand up against this, Israel captured and anexed more and more territory from palestinians, seeking to erase not only any possibility for a palestian State but also the palestine population. Other countries just pretended not to see this.
And yet if anyone speaks against it publicly in many of the european countries, you get labelled anti s… Which is just insane, i dont care about religion, i care about people and people's rights in general and if one group gets persecuted, it's easy to expand and encompas even more, slowly eroding rights in general. Sad times and hyporcicy of the west (eu in particular imo (well i live in the eu so i dont know about the others too much, since trading with countries that violate human rights should be illegal…) anyway, better late than never. I really think heavy sanctions until the issues are resolved are in order.
is just talk. no action. a satire.
Absolutely! Israel must be sanctioned and a mandatory arms embargo must be imposed on Israel.
The world must sanction Israel and void all trade agreements with them in an effort to reinforce international law.
Thanks! Nations have been trying to find a peaceful plan since at least 1940s. Apparently they have no interest. Happy to hear at least your trying!
The hypocrites in power really speak out both sides of their mouth on this. How can you point out Israel's actions as ethnic cleansing, but the second people step up to protest it, you paint them as antisemitic or label them as terrorists?
It’s simple cause and effect—when you put millions of Palestinians through decades of brutal conditions and systemic oppression, of course it’s going to lead to massive protests and desperate measures.
And the double standard is insane: you applaud Ukraine for defending its land against Russian annexation, but turn around and condemn Palestinians for doing the exact same thing against an occupation that’s lasted for decades under far worse conditions. Make it make sense.
I don't think these people will ever learn anything other than greed and murder–so they have to justify it with a god's supposed blessing. I do believe, in the 10 commandments, it does say "Thou shalt not kill… covet, etc."
It's about time ‼‼‼‼
Why are they only saying this now????!!!!!!The world has left those poor Gazans to die for the last 2 and a half years,please try and catch ' American Doctor ' in your cinemas soon about the doctors trying to save kids in Gaza x
It's useless statement
Because at the same time, USA is sanctioning ICC leaders fighting to extradite Netanyahu to ICC. France and UK , USA are the foundation of Palestinians annihilation
More of a criminal enterprise than a democracy.
anti semitic diplomat
United Arab Emirates too. If UAE continue massacre and destruction in Sudan should face similar consequences
Good

Now It's antisemitic 😂
Let them first address the Turkish occupation of European territory in Cyprus and the ethnic cleansing of Greek Cypriots in the northern part.
And this is the EXACT REASON why Donald Trump & Marco Rubio has been pushing to have the I.C.C. disbanded!! To prevent Netenyahu from being Indicted & Convicted for War Crimes but also to prevent Trump & Rubio from also being Indicted & Convicted for War Crimes!!! And NATO, the EU, Asia, and other Countries need to protect & keep the I.C.C. preserved & intact from harm and threats!! The I.C.C. was meant to be the World's WatchDog when it comes to War Crimes & other Heinous Acts being committed!!! It is Netenyahu, Trump, and his Cabinet that needs to be REMOVED, REPLACED, & DISBANDED ASAP!!!
why were they silent when they were "current ambassadors?"
boycot Isreal compleet. Only food for Gazaians.
Most important "former" because they are not afraid of to lose job. But what about active politicians
Wait. Wasn't Jared negotiating for land in Gaza?
Haitian Canadian here. Blah blah blah. Until we see real accountability and respect for the sovereignty of other nations, it's just another sound bite or loud noise from actors unwilling to fully implement the legal levers within their mandate, to prosecute international criminals. I am no expert at diplomacy or the law. What I do know is recognizing when innocent people are displaced, abused and suffering from the oppression of wolves dressed in sheepskin.
Made up country. You like it or not.
"The Big Picture is that the government of The STATE of Israel is in the process of totally and completely destroying the Palestinian Nation of People , TODAY , slowly and otherwise , throughout the Holy Land, right now , methodically , systematically , and BY DESIGN ; then , the tattered remnants will most likely be expelled ; and , this expulsion will EUPHEMISTICALLY be referred to as a EUPHEMISTICALLY be referred to as a VOLUNTARY EMIGRATION .
That hair , what is up with that
They are "EX's, irrelevant what they said,they were quiet before.
UK and Europe can complain, then do nothing, then expects the world to forget it. No consequence for Isreal. Remember the APPEASEMENT POLICY to germany before World War II? It failed. Same it will fail here.
FREE PALASTINE
glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced many things in life until $15,000 profits began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!
Jeffery Epstein was not Iranian. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Trump condemns Israel's overtaking of the West bank because he wants a Trump resort there!
Israel's like Trump: It thrives on ATTENTION — regardless of whether it's positive or negative. Evil takes PRIDE in doing Evil!
This is exactly why the entire world is supporting Iran
