The Gaza war is happening because Palestinians have been driven from their homelands by Israel's colonization. With no escape route, Gaza has become a concentration camp. Their meager rockets are an outcry of despair.

During the "ceasefire" preceding the war, Israel killed 22 Palestinians. During the present war, daily 3-hour so-called ceasefires, Israel continues to destroy Gaza with incessant bombing, aimed even at providers of humanitarian aid.

Israel is guilty of warcrimes. Period.

All you ridiculous people listen -- war is wrong. War will only beget more violence, death, and grief. It doesn't matter in the least the deluded "reasons" either side fabricates for the current situation. People are dying and suffering. But there is fabulous money to be made through the sale of arms -- that is the foundational reason why this crap continues. This has nothing to do withTurtle Island, jewishness, arabic descent, religion of any kind. War is wrong.

Dr. Franklin speaks the language of universal humanity that Palestinians deserve as much as any other human beings alive today. I'm fortunate to have seen this video and I embrace her message in my heart and mind.

@sputaru No, the conflict is occurring because Israel attacked and conquered Palestine in 1967, as a pure act of aggression and empire, and has continued to oppress Palestinians in concentration-camp-like conditions, as this woman above, herself a victim of Nazi concentration camps, implies.

The colossal predicament that the Jewish Religion and it's ardent followers find themselves in must be truly frightening to them ALL no matter whose land they are residing on, money or no money.

Remember, Turtle Island belongs to the Indigenous. For all the self pride and unearned prestige of your 'sort of tribe' we are certain you know how precarious your place is within Indigenous territories. Your tribe has wrapped itself in a blanket of deception.

World condemnation at long last.

How odd, that this has only had 325 humans watch and my post makes 3 comments in over a month of this being posted. And let's not forget they designed this for a special Jew tube upload presentation. I will try and be as respectful as my tolerance level will allow and hear them out but it is becoming almost impossible.

Why are there only 2 comments?

Mt first post didn't make the cut.

So we'll run a little test.

speaking out against Israel's actions is condemning the symptom, not the actual reason Gaza war is happening - the arab world's shameful use of palestinians as human weapons against israel.
