Why germans love the genocide in Gaza?
Yet Germany loves Israel. What is wrong with you?
I am totally impressed. How many times I have said Israel has lost it's humanity. Maybe this is just an evaluation of the dangers to Israel security. But it seems to have a humanitarian effect. Europe is much more in tune to this issue. Israeli hard liners who believe killing a Palestinian also means killing their possible future children should take notice. But hard liners seem to be a majority in Israel. What a black eye and a total shame to see this going on, and on, and on. The Palestinians do deserve blame too.
If Jews born in Brooklyn should have a right to a state in Palestine then Palestinians born in Jerusalem should have a right to a state in Palestine.
Too late
The fact that some individuals like this group still exist in Israel is a small hope that Netanyahu can’t hide the truth forever.
Jewish terrorism must be dismantled by the world.
Israel takes west bank
But not gaza strip
Israel terrorist and apartheid state.
U.S is coordinator of Israeli genocide.
Gaza plus egypt
Middle East and israel
Settlers are awesome.♥👍
"Jewish settlers threaten regional stability"????? Iran's been meddling for decades via its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen firing missiles from both Gaza and Lebanon deliberately targeting Israel's civilian population, imprisoning the Lebanese in their own country via the absolute control of Hezbullah and Iran, fomenting skirmishes in Iraq and Syria for power and control. And not one person including DW said Iran was "threaten regional stability". The beginning of the alleged "red alert" was shown, but why weren't the "550" signatores shown????
❤
Trump is meeting with his boss. Israel controls the US government and Media. 🇮🇱💸
No one cares. People stopped caring when Hamas attacked Israel three years ago. A small minority pretending to represent some righteous anger on behalf of the world is just another sham. No one cares in Israel. No one cares in the middle east outside of Iran's axis. No one cares outside of far left politics and advocacy circles.
“Could become a regional conflict”? Is this presenter on drugs? The Middle East is burning thanks to Israel.
They are not settlers ! Its their country !
Oh no, what a surprise.
No sht
Its supported by Germany, “to finish the dirty job”. The “settler” not “terrorist” is okay from Germany. They love genocides and killing people of color.
Kudos to the guest.
More people need to speak out!
U.s army is Benjamin netanyau war mercenaries and netanyau is there to command his mercenaries.
It is Germany who is funding Israeli terror
Notwithstanding what this man says, the immense majority of Jews in Israel and elsewhere want more terror and more blood. Certainly, the asshole who rules America would never intervene; it is ridiculous to plead with a gangster who committed lots of murders, himself.
Pressure Trump for the war they started then shy away from
Because he's not really conducting the war economy cycle in a way that keeps colonization possible. They need the populations alive to test their "battle tested" products running for selling in the worldwide war market. They need to make populations to depend on their water , energy, food and banking supply of services to make money. It's just the math.
Who cares what they say? They hate Netanyahu just like the left in the U.S. hates Trump. They are not thinking logically. If anything, support within Israel for actions unrelated to Gaza is in massive numbers. The internal Israeli friction is in the context of Gaza, not in any other context, and even that, post-October 7, barely exists except among a few bored old people.
This how the whole Zionist State was Created; By Theft and Terror.
The British govt would say that letter is antisemetic and try and charge the people who penned that letter as terr orism
The West supports Israel. Western countries also have a hand in the genocide in Gaza
Good questions😂
I wish the palistine are also free and bold enough to speak up against hamas terrorism
The DW presenter is asking for evidence of government support for settler violence in the West Bank, is he kidding me? Again he asked if the settler violence can lead to regional conflict? In my mind , what caused 7th October ? Hypocrisy at the highest level.
Hey dw can you advice your govt to stop arming and funding this mad ppl
Wow this is bad even the commanders who leads their soldiers to kill children's are saying this is bad
America is an Israeli puppet state. Our leaders are absolutely corrupt.
So sick of murderers of kids.
For the October 7 attack to succeed, so many coincidences had to occur that the attack looks extremely like an inside job. Some facts: "The military’s vaunted 8200 signals intelligence unit was not operational near the Gaza border on the morning of October 7 due to a two-year-old decision to reduce personnel and halt operations overnight and on weekends, a new report alleged Monday; Two companies of troops from the IDF’s Commando Brigade, which were deployed to the Gaza border during the Jewish holiday season in September and October, were sent to the West Bank just two days before Hamas’s October 7 massacre; The Nahal Oz base was overrun by Hamas gunmen on the morning of 7 October and more than 60 Israeli soldiers are reported to have been killed – with others taken hostage. The BBC has found: Many Israeli troops there were unarmed . " ( Sources: TimesofIsrael; BBC )
50% of Israelis want to treat Palestinians as non human. That explains the mass murder in Gaza and what is happening in the West Bank. These are brave Israelis to speak out against this madness, but they are a minority of sane Israelis now. Sadly.
Not many Americans know how much the US taxpayer gives to Israel in aid. Over $4 billion each and EVERY year and this year another $19 billion for the war against Iran, which Israel instigated and started, sucking the US into this mess.
Oooh is this just us being primed for a West Bank oct 7th?
Even their own are reacting with some sort of morality. Israel is a terror state.
We are witnessing one of the darkest chapters in human history. Israel is on a free fall to self destruction
Even before Trump America was fully supporting everything what Israel did
So what action people expect?
I can agree with an him, we need more people with common sense
DW never reminds viewers that the ICJ found Israel to be an unlawful occupier, that Israel ignored the provisional measures, that Israeli figures have active arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and that the Israel is on trial for genocide and also ignored those provisional measures.
