It's pretty ironic that 60 min. has to brag about what an amazing program they are in the notes on Youtube.
Thank you for documenting this.
Awesome episode.
Amazing people , so strong
So the same media who thinks Iran is good.
This was an inside job by bibi it’s why no one responded to their calls Israeli government wanted that to happen they were warned smh
And the world still denying and saying that the poir terrorista are "innocent". Antisemitism defyes evidence and reality. Hate makes people become deaf and blind. 😢
I think every single American or every nation in the world should be MADE to watch this. And this doesn't even show the real horrifying stuff that Hamas did to these ppls! I can't believe the democratic party in my nation don't even acknowledge this happened, and those that do say it was Israel who started it this day …..
Brain washed.
But this is what is coming to our country should they get the take over they are trying for here! My prayers to these families, and our sister in Christ country Israel…The nation of Israelites, and God's Jewish ppl ….
Stay strapped. Locked and loaded. Never unarm yourselves, NEVER!
Geeze honey you shouldn’t even be there get home safe now .
God bless Israel!🙏🙏🙏🙏I support and stand with Israel! I salute the brave grandfather!!! Blessings to Israel and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video
So true of the last days
An October 10 Fox News investigation uncovered a London-based coalition coordinating worldwide anti-Israel demonstrations, identifying 179 participating organizations and 322 planned events across three days.
The Global Alliance for Palestine distributed prewritten slogans, protest materials in 7 languages and coordinated strategies for disrupting city centers, surrounding government buildings, blocking businesses and organizing campus and workplace walkouts.
The network includes prominent figures such as Jeremy Corbyn and Yanis Varoufakis, alongside CodePink, which has received $1.33 million from Shanghai-based financier Neville Roy Singham. His nonprofit funding network faces congressional scrutiny over Chinese Communist Party influence.
The documents reveal an organized international campaign aimed at shaping public opinion and pressuring governments to impose sanctions and arms embargoes on Israel.

Israel is a tiny dot on the world map compared to the vast expanse of the Arab and Muslim world. This is because Arab and Islamic empires expanded through military conquest, spreading the Arabic language and Islam across indigenous cultures in North Africa, the Levant, and Persia. Therefore, the dominant culture in the Middle East today is the result of historical imperialism. The Jewish people are the indigenous inhabitants of the Land of Israel (Judea/Samaria), returning to their homeland. The term "settlers" is historically inaccurate, as they are reclaiming their homeland from centuries of various foreign empires – Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Crusader, Ottoman, and British.
"clearing out the terrorists" – yes, please, and thoroughly!
PLEASE…! WHAT'S this WIERED with LIFE or DEATH choices…?! THIS is NOT entertainment…😡😡😮😮🧐👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
God Bless everyone
60 minutes doing a good job for once.
The government never helped them after 7 hours!!!
Where was the military??
They let them died !!
Now they destroyed Gaza?!
Unacceptable
Thank goodness grandpa had a lot of experience fighting!!
They are a very lucky family!
🙏💜🌿
who is committing genocide in occupied palestine voor 75 jaar, christians, muslims or jews.
Wow! I never thought I would hear such sympathetic coverage from 60 Minutes. Isn’t the current narrative all about genocide?? But then this was produced prior to the Israeli attack, weeks before Hamas refused to surrender the hostages and terrorists. When Israel fights to stay alive it’s genocide. When they succeed, it’s a war crime.
Dear God, what a nightmare led by evil!!!
Unless you were in Israel that day,you cannot imagen what happened that day,you will all be thinking ,"this is what happened in Israel " when they come for you in your countries,that are being terrorized now,the way Israel has been,the handwriting is on the wall.
Has the question of where the hell was the military and police been answered?
Surprise, terrorist attack, not invasion Leslie stall
Everything that happened on oct7 happened on Palestinian land. Who are the invaders? Who are the actual terrorist?!?
As if Leslie has a heart
Хвала Богу да је све прошло добро.❤❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
