There is so much evil in the world right now. Netanyahu’s government is destroying Gaza. Instead of taking aim at Hamas, regardless of the reasons he gives for each bombing, his soldiers target humanitarian zones, hospitals, schools, and aid workers. They’ve cut off food aid for those surviving in the rubble and the refugee camps. So what if the children are malnourished, if the sick and the elderly can’t access their medications.

We have work to do.
