More murderousness by Israel and continuous complicity of the West: this is what Israel’s invasion of Rafah is.

I want to apologise for using the graphic video below. I’ve never done it in over four years of blogging here on my own platform.
But this is what the world needs to see. This is what some call Israel’s ‘final solution’ for Gaza looks like:
I don’t know who still calls this a war.

As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
