The UN just revised the casualty number down by 50% in Gaza
Yes no safe for terrorism
"What Israel is doing in Gaza makes the Russian military look like a bunch of saints in Ukraine."
But you have no power to make it happen so it's kind of futile to pretend your words matter... 😑

Whole world support Palestinians. Look at UNGA. How long will you remain blind?
I've emailed my MP
The problem is the artificial colonial settler state of Isreal having no regard to international law and human life. What Israel is doing is not self-defense, because it has no right to it as the occupier. Israel has proven to be an outlaw state. What is the international community going to do about that?
The Palestinians should have thought of that before they attacked Israel. Now the world needs to buckle up and see it through.
