For seven decades, the world has witnessed unrelenting tragedies and unspeakable violence against the innocent. I am surprised that you ignore the atrocities of the Zionist regime and instead condemn the Palestinians who are simply defending their homes. Your stance on this great historical crime is deeply disturbing. Your support for the severe injustices inflicted on the Palestinian people has made me unsubscribe from your channels on YT, CastBox and other platforms. Hope for peace #Palestine
