UN released an analysis of satellite imagery showing that 35% of buildings in Gaza had been damaged or destroyed during Israel’s offensive, which has claimed almost 32,000 Palestinian lives.

I am speechless, in what world this is justifiable. Just for perspective, before the war only 30K of the Palestinians were believed to have links to Hamas. That's less than 1.5% of the population of Gaza.

Apartheid Israel has killed more than 1% of Palestinians in Gaza (70% are women and children) in 4 months. This is equivalent to killing 3 million Americans in 4 months. The death toll is now past the Bosnian Genocide. More needs to be done than just a ceasefire; they need to be sanctioned like Russia and other pariah states are.
