It's because Mr. Big Ears is in charge
Garbage victim narrative
No money to help US citizens but let’s send billions to the terrorist state of Israhell. Disgusting.
There are plenty of mothers and children on the south side of Chicago who don't feel "safe" and they have to live that way anyway. Why don't we send the IDF to Chicago after they're done with their genocide to further help out with the issue of "safe".
Radical Islam a religion of hatred division and violence.. they will not prevail..🇮🇱🇺🇲.. God bless the United States and its allies.. God bless Israel
NBC you guys are pro Israeli, if you were not you would be truthful enough to see and say Israel is the occupier and genocidal regime that's hindering peace in west asia
The United States of America and Britain are responsible for the destruction of Beirut and Gaza
If Israel wasn't dead bent on expanding and subjugating another ethnic group, this would have never happened.
Way Israel, so aggressive
Never safer in a zoo !
Biden's incompetence created this mess. Anither 4 years of incompetent democrats will start ww3.
Israel has nuclear weapons so must Iran
Israel the occupier always the victim
Oh boy, that guest speaker is definitely biased in favour of Israel. Maybe get someone more objective next time, NBC?
Bidenomics now Biden Harris foreign policy. Unless there is a change in leadership, you can expect more of the same. They are not effective leaders, domestically or internationally. They messed up your economy and now they are messing up the world in their foreign policy a month away from an election. How much more do you want to see America?
Israel really has dug themselves into this. All the stricks and damage they have caused over the years. I'm a man of faith but they are mean and now they are in trouble. Without the umbrella of more powerful nations I would be sad to think where they would be.
I don't want too see any country go too war with another. Israel you need to have consequences for the hurt you have done.
israel🇮🇱 must respect soveregnity territorial integrity of Palestine (East Jerusalem, West Bank, Gaza Strip) & Syria (Golan).
NuttyYahoo wants Terrorist Trump to win the election. If Democrats win he must be punished.
The title is super understated…u have no idea…things are going to get a lot worse. A child could tell you that.
When can we start blaming religion for most of the world’s problems? Not one in particular, but all 3 abrahamic religions.
Starting to believe israel is deliberately getting us into a war, maybe they are the real enemy!
Arab colonialists and Iranian imperialists. Israel, standing up to the bullies.
Unending American imperialist wars. Free Palestine.
There’ll be ceasefire in the region if Bibi and his war cabinet are stripped of power and arrested for war crimes against humanity. 💯
This is worse then the 70s
Netanyahu seeks direct US involvement, and AIPAC owns Congress…Scary
Seems like all the news anchors are israeli puppets
Illegal wars. occupations, regime change, and proxy wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc
Iran already got nukes from Russia and pakistan you dummies.
God's creation is evil and flawed
Censorship, they took out po. Tun. Airplane base.
Amos 9:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
Yet I will not totally destroy the descendants of Jacob,” declares the LORD. “For I will give the command, and I will shake the people of Israel among all the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will reach the ground.
Isreal is no victim
Israel > Hurricane Helene victims…..
Now I know what it must have felt like witnessing the holocaust l Holocaust. Thanks, Israel.
Thank you for telling the unbiased side of this story, with this Tel Aviv official
Israel just needs another 8 billion
