@zleap considering the amount or UN resolutions Israel has ignored, I suspect all protestations will fall on deaf ears.
If you can afford to, consider a donation to MSF. More than 300 MSF staff are currently in Gaza, where indiscriminate bombing has turned a chronic humanitarian crisis into a catastrophe and many are in dire need of medical support. Spread the word
It's impossible to move 1.1 million people from one half of the most densely populated chunk of land on the planet to the other in 24 hours so this order is about #Israel getting some political cover for killing thousands of civilians. We warned them!

This cannot justify the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, who are paying a price for a crime they did not commit"
