Gazans desperately trying to reach aid are being shot dead.
On the ground hungry Palestinians are being killed. Underground the hostages are suffocating.
This isn’t security, it’s politics.
As we wait for politicians to end this, people are dying for nothing.

Horrific news to wake up to this morning- a deadly shooting took place near the Jewish Museum in DC, with two murdered.
Our thoughts are with their loved ones & all those affected.
Jewish communities shouldn’t have to live in fear. There’s absolutely no justification for this.
