<div class="field field-field-text"><p>YouTube has removed hundreds of videos from three prominent Palestinian human rights organisations that documented Israel's violations of international law, The Intercept reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>More than 700 videos were deleted, along with the accounts of Al-Haq, Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre.</p>
<p>All three groups reportedly had hours of footage documenting Israel’s violations of international law in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, reportedly including the killing of Palestinian civilians.</p>

Greta Thunberg is such a class act, even when she's been horrifically mistreated by the IDF she does not make it about herself and remains consistent in her messaging in wanting the relentless campaign of oppression and genocide against the Palestinian people to end.

To me inexcusable that during the Rwandan genocide, Pope John Paul didn’t go to Rwanda. In 100 days, hundreds of thousands were slaughtered. Catholics all
Most Gazans aren’t Catholic but are God’s children- our brothers & sisters. The children are our babies. .
If i were Pope i would go to Gaza.
