Yes, important to substantiate what is obvious through things like this. We all wish this problem didn't exist, but that's one way to help fight it.

Boris parte per #Gaza con la Sumud Flotilla. A motivarlo, l'aver assistito all'assedio di #Sarajevo e la sua grande frustrazione oggi, come professionista del mondo umanitario e cittadino italo-bosniaco, nel non poter portare aiuti a Gaza. Una riflessione sul diritto umanitario buff.ly/uBFWKKB

It is so cruel that it keeps tens of thousands of prisoners of conscience apart from their grieving families and loved ones
Germany is sliding into fascism. I know people have debated this extensively, but right now all parties around Palestine are effectively one party.. supporting or denying genocide.
