How much longer will the genocide in Palestine go on? Both Gaza and now the West Bank are under relentless attack.

In Gaza, starving people are being shot by Israeli forces as they try to get the scraps of food that is being allowed to trickle in by Tel Aviv. Every day on social media we witness the photos of skin and bones children. Hospitals have been repeatedly bombed thanks to deliveries of munitions from the U.S. and NATO allies.

Palestine is one of the largest failures of the United Nations. Israel flouts international law because of America’s veto power at the U.N.

Genocide and ethnic cleansing will not make Israel or America great. We look away at our peril.

I am ashamed of our nation’s role in this catastrophe. But I continue standing on the street with my Palestine solidarity sign a couple times each week. What else can I do? Washington is not listening to our cries for justice and peace.
