So many of us here in the West watch videos or read posts and develop opinions about the conflict with Hamas, but what I’ve learned since 10/7 is that Westerners who think they know a lot don’t know the Middle East. Loay Alshareef explains.

Loay Alshareef explains what really motivates Hamas.

Yes. Hamas should be prosecuted as war criminals and for crimes against humanity.

The “tell” in celebrities’ show conscience is just as you say here.

They have no conscience for the suffering hostages. They express no grief for those murdered, raped, burned on #October7.

That’s not “conscience.” It’s propaganda. The West needs to find its soul.

Think about all you’ve done for 732 days of life, while this musician has been tortured daily just because he’s Jewish.

Stand up to the Jewish hate that spurs Hamas & is sweeping the world, before the West becomes 1930s Germany.

Add your voice.

So proud of my German speaking countries- all three showed yesterday a solemn solidarity with Israel.

Frankfurter Rundschau:
Zwei Jahre nach dem Terrorangriff der Hamas auf Israel werden in Berlin die Namen der rund 1.200 Opfer verlesen. Zugleich muss die Polizei gegen Gewaltverherrlichung vorgehen.

Guess what’s really antisemitic… blaming Israel for protecting its citizens, of ALL faiths and ethnicities, from proponents of a genocidal ideology that created an industry of lies to demonize Jews. The problem has always been extremist refusal to accept a Jewish state in any part of the land.

#October7 was a horror perpetrated against Israel&the Jewish people to traumatize us&turn world opinion against us when we fought back.It did.
You can join the long list of people who have hated&harmed us as we survived&thrived through it for thousands of years.

The first paragraph would have been appropriate for today.
The rest harms Israelis&Jews.But since you wrote it,
WHERE did YOU CALL FOR HAMAS TO ACCEPT THE CEASEFIRE DEAL THEY ARE DELAYING ACCEPTING?
This would bring OUR 48 HOSTAGES HOME, end the WAR&Hamas,&bring Gaza&Israel toward peace. I miss it?
