Regardless of whatever side someone supports, racism will not be tolerated and in every case of war, civilians must be protected.

 @9GMKYB7Democrat from Pennsylvania commented…6mos6MO

The threat of Hamas is getting out of hand, but the United States should not step in until a direct threat, or action is shown towards the US military as a sign of hostility.

 @9GMFBMTRepublican from Texas commented…6mos6MO

This story is very heartbreaking to hear. Hamas is taking innocent people's lives, all because they do not like Israel. Israel has tried many a times to have peace, but Hamas will not take it. They are turning into another Hitler and Holocost story.

 @9GNXT82Socialist from North Carolina commented…6mos6MO

Look up the death tolls. Palestinians have taken a much larger hit. The holocaust is happening again. Just not to Israel.

 @vksvksss from Georgia disagreed…6mos6MO

Israel is just defending itself. Israel doesn't target civilians, but civilian death is something that inevitably happens in war. Hamas proudly slaughters Israeli babies and children, while Israel wants to get rid of the Hamas who have been oppressing and mistreating Palestinians for decades.

 @9GMM478 from Nevada commented…6mos6MO

The Government needs to protect us from these attacks and not let it involve us.

 @9GMSBCF from California commented…6mos6MO

I think what is happening to both Isralies and Palestinians is horrible and the US should not be attacking Gaza but instead working extra hard to find the terrorists of Hamas.

 @9GMQXND from Texas commented…6mos6MO

its very scared everyday I worry about the kids, about how they can play outside or go to school, they're innocent in all this, but there the ones that have the most pain, i also worry about the death tolls and how do they maintain the bodies, also for the families of the unknown victims

 @TreasuryCougar from South Carolina commented…6mos6MO

This is a war over Israel's right to exist.

Hamas seek to completely destroy Israel. This is what "from the river to the sea" means.... and while people in the west may try to con you about its meaning - the geonicidal aims of Hamas leaders are clear.

 @LobbyistCoyoteGreen from Minnesota commented…6mos6MO

Stop conflating religion with a political ideology. Zionists are their enemy not Jews or Christians.

Or are you just too blinded by hatred to understand nuance?

 @DirectCatSocialist from South Carolina agreed…6mos6MO

Funnily you never seem to see it when Netanyahu does the exact same or when his ministers refer to arabs as "animals"

 @9GMFXTR from Texas commented…6mos6MO

Its pretty important because if they want to annihilate one another it can affect their allies and go to war.

 @9GMRKP2from Maine commented…6mos6MO

The situation with Israel and Palestine clearly demonstrates how absurd the concept of a nation state really is. The Jewish people, exiled from their original homeland 2000 years ago, returned there to find it inhabited by a completely different people. The Palestinian Arabs, as well, have been living there for centuries and claim the region as their native soil. Neither side of the conflict takes the other's situation into account, seeking to build a *** only Israel or an Arab-only Palestine. And the sad thing is that the average Moishe or the average Muhammad, as individuals, will not benefit from this national victory just as the average American receives little benefit from the USA's global hegemony. I think it is time we started to think in terms of human beings, of you and I, rather than Jews, Arabs, Americans or Russians.

Hamas is a cancer that must be destroyed. Once that’s done, we need to turn our attention towards Iran.

 @9GMKDF7 from Texas commented…6mos6MO

This situation is getting out of hand and Hamas is killing innocent people. United States needs to step in and help the Israeli people

 @9GMLYWSRepublican from North Carolina commented…6mos6MO

 @9GMNC6L from California commented…6mos6MO

That’s scary and intimidating that something like that atrocity could happen again.

 @ProportionalTunaLibertarianfrom Guam commented…6mos6MO

Hamas leadership lives in luxury in Qatar and Lebanon. This interview, which is immediately being used to call a ceasefire impossible, means more Palestinians suffer.

No one is asking why Hamas “leaders” are allowed to live in comfort, without concern of being assassinated.

 @NeedyPublicPolicyGreenfrom Indiana commented…6mos6MO

They can’t be bothered to fight their own wars? Live where they lead?

 @9GMJQK3 from Ohio commented…6mos6MO

potential dangerous for anyone since that they will try and commit a complete religious genocide

 @9GMD5LCSocialist from Pennsylvania commented…6mos6MO

genocide in any form is terrible, but the US is incentivized by the gains from Isreal

 @9GMWDMNfrom Vermont commented…6mos6MO

That part of the world will, forever, be at war due to its irreparable geopolitical history. We should help those who ask for it, condemn and embargo those who choose violence, but otherwise understand that further intervention is fuel to a fire.

 @9GMFXLH from Minnesota commented…6mos6MO

This is not a Hamas and Israel war this is a war where Israel has been committing genocide on Palestine for the past 70 years.

 @9GMPCB2 from Delaware commented…6mos6MO

 @9GMJH6V from Missouri commented…6mos6MO

Its just crazy t think that we might have another world war and it can come at anytime

 @9GMXHF5from California commented…6mos6MO

It is horrible how these countries are fighting and the images are so hard to see

 @9GMFPMKLibertarian from New York commented…6mos6MO

Israel has been masacering palestanian for years with little to no action from palestine and yet it was a terrorist orginaztion and now israel is goin after inncoent people

 @9GMCXCT from New York commented…6mos6MO

 @9GMSFW7Republican from South Dakota commented…6mos6MO

I feel as though we shouldn't be participating in wars if we don't need to. It's Vietnam all over again.

 @9GMKW46 from Pennsylvania commented…6mos6MO

i think that if things really escalate then other countries could get involved in the fighting

 @9GMDC8L from Ohio commented…6mos6MO

Israel has been torturing and killing Palestinians for more than 75 years- they stole their land and now are committing genocide. Hamas is only a reflection of the terror those innocent people have faced. It’s resistance- their movement is valid because anyone pushed to the limit will react.

 @9GN2Y9DRepublican from California commented…6mos6MO

Both sides are murdering people but the news likes to only focus on one perspective. I'm not saying I agree with whats happening but I think all this war is completely unnecessary. All of this war is political. This can lead to WWIII.

 @ProgressiveSeagullDemocrat from Pennsylvania commented…6mos6MO

Palestinians never accepted that Israel defeated all Arabs that attacked them. This is partly why they live like animals. The biggest reason is poor governance (authoritarian). Their income level is comparable to the Egyptians and Syrians. Jews aren’t their biggest issue.

 @VibrantJerkyfrom Massachusetts commented…6mos6MO

When was the last time there were any elections in Gaza? From my understanding, no citizen participation in influencing government has not happened since 2006. It seems Gaza is a dictatorship controlled by Hamas whose leadership live in luxury in Qatar.

Jus' sayin'.

 @99M6G59Independent  from Arizona commented…6mos6MO

People’s lives are actively being threatened; the other two stories are petty and don’t matter whatsoever

 @9GMF7S7 from Pennsylvania commented…6mos6MO

American i sthe one who made hamas attack american and israel because they are afraid

 @9GN2GPT from Missouri commented…6mos6MO

I believe we need to assist the Israelis in order to ensure their country does not become destroyed. We need to back our allies and protect them from what is wrong.

 @9GN2SBR from Texas commented…6mos6MO

Palestine will resist until Israel does not exist. Let Palestinians have their homeland back. Free Palestine means freedom for everyone involved.

 @9GMZVSJ from California commented…6mos6MO

 @9GMZ6SN from Missouri commented…6mos6MO

I feel that it has to deal the most with what we are doing at the moment. I think that every American citizen deserves the right to know what is going on in their nation.
