I feel like everything we see regarding Palestine is so scary and heartbreaking because what is going on there is an atrocity.

Biden is downplaying these deaths because he knows what he is doing is wrong, but he has to.

The protests were pro-Palestine, not anti-Israel. Just because you are pro one thing, doesn't mean you are inherently against the other.

This is even more disgusting when you acknowledge the fact that these kids had nothing to do with Hamas. Fri, 01 Dec 2023 01:42:19 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360697?scroll_to=3198840 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360697?scroll_to=3198840 She is weaponizing the horrific events of the holocaust in an attempt to inflate what happened on October 7th. I find this interesting because she doesn't mention the terrible things Isreal has been doing to Palestine for 70+ years.

She wants to ensure there isn't any bridge they wouldn't cross.

Israel's motives for a lot of things seem to be inconsistent and strange. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:20:17 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192018 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192018 Even now I know the people of Gaza feel helpless, so I can't imagine how it must of felt when they were going through so much and no one batting an eye. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:16:17 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192014 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192014 I'm asking because I know it was tiring and exhausting to go Gaza, and it seems as though your rights were stripped every time you entered the Gaza strip. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:13:59 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192008 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192008 Everyone always paints Israel in this innocent light but they made life for Palestinians and people traveling to Palestine so difficult. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:12:45 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192004 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360477?scroll_to=3192004 I'm asking to gain more understanding of why you went back and forth. Was it out of necessity or family reasons, or how important your life was in Gaza? Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:10:11 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191491 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191491 The IDF went very extreme with their retaliation. Hamas attacked because the way the Palestinians were living, under Israel, was unsustainable. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 07:09:36 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191489 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191489 I agree. It's difficult to understand what's true and what isn't because a lot of western media outlets spread misinformation, too. This became especially apparent when CNN was taken on a "tour" of Gaza with the IDF. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 07:05:23 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191488 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191488 I don't think Israel is in the place to call for a ceasefire, at this time. Also, more countries than not don't support a ceasefire either. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 07:02:18 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191487 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191487 Since this conflict has been going on for over 70 years, I don't think it'll end anytime soon. Hopefully, Palestine receives help and their situation improves but I don't think Israel will stop going after Hamas. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 06:59:22 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191486 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3191486 I'm afraid I have to disagree. Once all the information was presented and I understood the history, picking a side was easy. It became abundantly clear who was the oppressed and who is the oppressor. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 06:56:41 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189844 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189844 The U.S. is just looking out for its own interest, regardless of how many deaths come with it. Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:54:16 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189843 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189843 If you repeatedly oppress a group of people, there will eventually be push back. Israel is playing the victim for destroying millions of lives. Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:52:20 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189842 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189842 This is what most countries are failing to realize. Is capturing Hamas worth all the death and destruction Israel is causing? Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:47:51 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189841 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189841 The countries that aren't in the Middle East, specifically countries that this doesn't concern, have expressed their support for Israel. However, the countries in the Middle East are looking out for the interest of the civilians, calling for a ceasefire. Countries that have nothing to do with this conflict insist on involving themselves, and they're the ones with the strongest votes. It's ridiculous. Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:45:44 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189838 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189838 This conflict has spilled into other countries, which will cause even more civilian casualties. Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:42:10 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189836 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3189836 This questions Biden's motives and broader goal in this situation overseas. When his presidency comes to an end, he will have created tensions that another president is going to have to mend. Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:40:08 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188401 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188401 Biden's words go completely against what Israel is doing too. Biden is still supporting them even though what Israel is doing is inhumane. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 02:52:50 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188326 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188326 Even though Israel claims to only care about taking down Hamas, they don't care about the innocent people they kill along the way. They've been treated Gaza terribly even before Hamas was established. Tue, 21 Nov 2023 02:49:18 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188322 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188322 This sentence calls into question the bias of the article because we know the history of how Israel has treated Gaza for the last 70 years. It's safe to assume Israel's intent is not just defense, but also destruction. Fri, 17 Nov 2023 02:35:16 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188308 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188308 I believe this article, while mostly objective, has an Israeli bias. They describe Hamas as terrorists, which is language frequently used by Israel. They also emphasize the October 7th attack and its effects without acknowledging why the attack happened. Fri, 17 Nov 2023 02:16:11 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188109 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188109 I think this attack brought out a type of violence that reminded the Israeli people and government of Nazi Germany. Since this was the deadliest attack in Israel's history, I believe it inspired an unnaturally fast escalation. Perhaps the Israeli government saw this attack as permission to do whatever they wanted to capture Hamas. Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:56:05 +0100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188108 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188108 The article paints the United States and President Biden in a humanitarian light when the U.S. is just looking out for its interests. The United States needs Israel. Therefore it wouldn't call for a ceasefire or go against Israel—the U.S. is playing both sides of the field. Tue, 05 Dec 2023 19:45:07 +0100
