This is Indian Chanel, and the comments are from Indian people.. so horrifyingly nonchalant and ignorant of actual happenings of the world. This is the might of ignorance. Truly disappointing that I once thought india bore many great minds. Now I know, those were just compensations for this amount of idiocy… Indians preach about love and care, but jokes on thousands of dead and brutalised infants.. they themselves stay blind to the atrocities and when educated youngsters don't, they joke about their protests thinking it stoped them in anyway…. They don't even expect India to somehow help stopping this atrocious behaviour. Cause obviously, what to expect from people who care more about a cow than their women…

Higher education is a scam! This is literally modern-day slavery. Producing corporate slaves to make elites richer and more dangerous.
That proves, how long and influential are the hands of the leftist and Iz lamist kabals
People don't care about their country but are more concern about other country
Literally sick 😂
The ceasefire is at the moment not the point. The main issue is that the US is falling apart due to the internal marxists Islamist movements. No one cares about Palestinians, the target is the US. Israel receives a lot of ammos from other countries including Arab countries also. If the shipment is not coming from USA then it comes from China. Welcome in the new world order
This is why sometimes refugees is not good for other country
No concessions for this. It is blackmail 😢😢😢
Israel follows torah. Torah says to kill idol worshipers. Torah tells to kill and sacrifice the red cow… And Indian people are dancing for them…
You can simply threaten to deport the foreigners to deescalate the situation quickly

This is the real situation all over the world in the name of secularism. Do not loose your freedom at the cost of your dumb children. They need to be thought of their values and culture and the ways to preserve them. These dumb kids will never dare do this in any of the Islamic countries.
