Calls for a ceasefire are beyond inadequate at this point. Israel needs to be sanctioned, boycotted and opposed in every way possible until it’s defeated, dismantled and all the war criminals responsible for this brought to justice.
Israel withdrew from El Shifa Hospital in Gaza earlier this morning. I urge u to look at what they left behind, 400 bodies, some run over by tanks, some buried alive in body bags, burned buildings & executing children under 13s. Read more, share,don't let this barbarity be normal
