The arrest and arbitrary detention of health workers from Gaza is part of Israel’s systematic decimation of the healthcare system in Gaza. The intentional creation of conditions calculated to destroy Palestinians in Gaza constitutes an act of genocide.

We are deeply saddened by & condemn the attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.
Acts of violence have no place in our society. Politicians & the media must ensure their actions in the following days don't stoke division further.
We must focus on the humanity that connects us all.
