They were made targets. Made orphans. Made statistics. And when they cry out from under the rubble, it is not madness you’re hearing.

There is no nuance. No if, ands or buts. People need to wake up and believe their own eyes. Israel is routinely committing serial mass murder and torturing an entire population. Zionism is a cancer.
