The real reason the Colonial West wants Gaza. Ethnically cleanse the native population, and rob the land of its natural resources.
It's a capitalist venture for the ultra rich.
Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, not white supremacists.

Peace depends on holding those responsible for these crimes accountable — both inside and outside of Israel.
There can be no justice without accountability, and there can be no peace without justice — that’s just silencing the oppressed.
We must not stop until Palestine is free

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise.
To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists:
We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.
