Tens of thousands of Israelis have taken part in the country’s biggest anti-government protest since the 7th October attack by Hamas. The protesters want Prime Minister Netanyahu to resign for failing to bring home the remaining 130 Israeli hostages still in Gaza. It’s not known how many are still alive. Netanyahu says he’s doing everything he can and intends to remain as prime minister. Around 33,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of Israel’s military response to the attack, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Zionism = Terrorism
Thank you bbc❤
Wearing your jewellery at streets in the evening to have them on show is not wise decision. You can play into bad guys hands and give them a chance to rob you.
Shame on you double standard bastards👎

"I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud." – Helen Keller
A 😮😢😮😢😢😢 bad and nasty😮😢😮😢😢😢 retired director from General Dynamics, previously worked in San Diego, probably more than 85 yrs old now, is abusing US Gov's monitoring satellite to harass normal US civilians, inside USA & all over the world for his own entertainment & amusement.
These remote sensors of the monitoring satellites are capable of interpreting the words you're thinking in your mind, may be, by air vibration or by scanning the brainwaves from your brain.
The Israeli IDF are using similar satellite technologies to spy on the Hamas leadership hiding deep inside the Gaza Tunnels. IDF once released footage of these videos in much degraded resolution.
This could also have been the way how our intelligence services obtained classified information on Xi Jinping's missile deployment within China.
This retired General Dynamics director could have been the mastermind behind the plane crash killing the Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown of the Clinton Administration, in the plane crash in 1996 in Croatia.
The United States as we learned and studied in American high school does not exist anymore; it has been destroyed.
United States have been dead. American citizens don't have human rights.
This retired Director of General Dynamics is indeed a national disgrace of the United States.
If this America disgrace wants to harrass any American civilian, he just puts this American into our Gov. blacklist for monitoring, and he can harass this American civilian.
United States must stop this disgrace retired director from General Dynamics.
Free Palestine

The sadness is on show in Israel and Palestine.
The spiral of overpowering dynamics are putting them all up against a wall.
The arrogance, coupled with short mindedness, is playing into Armageddon's hands.
Free free Palestine ❤🙏
