    1. Deport violent arab muslims!! They are destroying our country undermining our American values! They are making American jews afraid and these arab muslims are not Americans! DEPORT NOW!!!

    2. I cannot believe the universities are giving students extra credit for protesting against Israel when in fact it was the Palestinians who attacked first .. and they always attack first. This time Israel has had enough. Palestine doesn't even belong to the Arab people .. Israel allowed them to occupy…going against what God said… Now Israel is suffering. It says in the bible all nations will go against Israel ..but that is when Jesus steps in with righteous judgement like no one has ever seen before. He will not be the long hair..sandal wearing ..peaceful man that walked the earth 2000 years ago. When He comes his foot will stand in Jerusalem.. every knee shall bow. Every nation will confess that He is Lord.
      So keep it up Palestine… Keep it up.. this is all in prophecy..

    3. At the beginning of the video I saw black people there banging on the door and I asked the question: WHY ARE BLACK PEOPLE IN THIS? This is not black people's business.

      IF YOU ARE BLACK AND MARCHING AND PROTESTING FOR EITHER SIDE THEN YOU ARE A FOOL BECAUSE BOTH SIDES HATE YOU AND HAVE A HISTORY OF DOING SO🥺

    4. Title should read, "Americans protest the Palestinian genocide being funded with their tax dollars they don't approve" as what they are saying themselves in their own words

    5. Our hearts and prayers are for Israel!
      I had great desire to be with you all on this rally but due to India-America distance wasn't be able to be there.
      One day when time will come God will say to everyone who came to rally for Israel: "WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT,… COME TO RESIVE YOUR REWARD !"(Matt25:23 paraphrased)
      My name is Gulmira, I'm from Kyrgyzstan. I'm ex-muslim, 33 years back Lord Jesus saved me at age 17. Today I'm a pastor's wife in India.
      I Praise God Father for Israel: Israel is God's chosen people! Our Saviour is Jewish, our Apostles are Jewish, we Christians are in eternal debt and gratitude to Jewish People for who they are.
      Long live Israel!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    6. those who support Palestine and not Hamas and sympathize with Israel and one another I have support for ❤ not those petty Palestinian people who throw salt on those affected by Hamas and secretly hint at supporting those cowards.

    7. To those raising the Palestinian flags, where were you when ISIS was launched in the name of Islam and beheaded tens and thousands of Arabs in Libya, Syria and Iraq?

      Why didn't you take it to the streets and raised their flags and condemn them and call the terror and call for ceasefire?

      Where were you when Arab dictators and terrorists killed thousands of Arabs in Syria and Libya?

      Where were you when Saudi Arabia backed by other Arab countries killed and starved out more than 400,00 Yemenis?

      This calls for some self reflection. When millions of Arabs are being slaughtered by other Arabs, you say NOTHING.

    8. They (protestors) are all occupiers /hypocrites themselves. I am of Native-American descent(Creek)…..How about giving me back my land that your ancestors…. English, French, German occupiers……..stole from my ancestors in the 1400s-1800s. There is no difference than what is going on in Palestine. ….Except the fact that God gave the geographical land of Israel to the Israelites in Gen. 15:18….He gave them the land from the Euphrates and Nile to the sea. They have never occupied all that was deeded to them by God.

    9. There is no such thing as a “Palestinian state” the land belongs to Abraham, ISSAC, Jacob and their descendants! While I am praying for both sides! To come against Israel is to literally come against God himself! And he already foretold and warned the nations that would have the AUDACITY to try him on this level!! For those who haven’t read the book, Israel wins, because God literally steps in!! 🇮🇱4ever 🤍🤍

    10. All these ignorant idiots in the west who support the hamas and condemn Israel in its self defence are the modern day Einsatzgruppe !!!!We Indians stand with Israel and its people .God speed to the IDF !

    11. Who are the leaders? How many leaders are here on student visas? Where do leaders get their funding from? Journalists should devote themselves to similar questions and jettison the focus on demonization of traditional U.S. citizens. If not, risk awakening a sleeping giant.

    12. The comments have once again led me to believe that America has yet again been brainwashed by the devil himself. God said in the end what was good will be bad and what was bad will be good. This is whats happening .

    13. The Arab Muslim slave trade is noted as the longest lasting, having continued for more than 1,300 years, taking millions of Africans away from their continent to work in foreign lands in the most inhumane conditions.

    14. Remember
      Palestinian From Gaza
      Are Hamas Supporters
      This are same People agrees with Hamas Principles
      This People celebrate slaughtering of Jews
