From Gaza With Rage

Gaza
By Dr. Mona El-Farra November 16, 2023 The repeating Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza are beyond my own comprehension.  For at least 10 of the last 40 days, missiles have rained down on the most densely populated refugee camp in all of Gaza.

Gaza In The Interest Of Humanity – “Stop This Insanity”

Gaza, Israel/Palestine, Press
Press statement - Mairead Maguire calls  “For peace an immediate ceasefire, dialogue and negotiations in Gaza.” The Israel government is committing war crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people In Gaza. The Israeli government are breaking international law which prohibits the collective punishment of civilian populations. Governments like the USA, United Kingdom who support Israeli governments genocidal policies must also be held legally responsible. These governments are supporting the deaths of Palestinians, many of which are children and the destruction of their land.
