Israel had every right to respond to Hamas' 7 Oct 2023 attacks.
But this has NOT been a proportionate response: it has been an escalating campaign of war crimes, crimes against humanity & genocide as the world just watches.
It is fair to hold Israel to a higher standard than Hamas terrorists. 5/5

Israel is forcing Palestinian children to starve to death and is executing thousands of starving Palestinians at aid distribution points. Jews who suffered in camps under the Nazis would recognise this for what it is. The world must act.

The state of Israel is committing the most horrific of war crimes while the world watches idly by
Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'.
A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air.
One day, everyone will have always been against this.

The world watched a people erased in real time, and called it complicated. As the bodies fell, as the children vanished beneath broken concrete, as voices turned to dust, leaders chose profit over life. History won’t ask how it happened. It will ask how humans lost their humanity.
