Israel is a terrorist state that starves children, deliberately bombs hospitals and burns people alive in refugee tents

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.

Genocidal Israel's war crimes and ethnic cleansing could not be denied MONTHS ago.
While it is tempting to say 'better late than never', it is inexcusable that so many in positions of authority are coming to this view so late, while the killing continues.
And so many in power STILL fail to act.
