We just spilled buckets of red paint in front of the home of the Israeli army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir! We are calling on Zamir to refuse the orders of Netanyahu’s extremist government and bring this genocidal war to an end once and for all!

#Gaza: Over 500 people were killed and nearly 4,000 wounded while seeking food at the Israeli-U.S. food distribution sites. This scheme is slaughter masquerading as humanitarian assistance and must be dismantled.

#Gaza: Doctors Without Borders condemns the March 23 Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, the largest functioning hospital, killing two and injuring many.

We call once again for the restoration of the #ceasefire and for the resumption of the entry of essential aid and supplies.
