Ceasefire. What ceasefire? Within hours, Israel is back to massacring and starving Palestinians in Gaza - and the Western media is still regurgitating Israeli claims, after two years of daily war crimes and relentless, incessant lies.

Are you going to free up some time away from the hostages to report this violation ?

Witnesses say the family had gone back home following the ceasefire announcement — believing it was safe to assess the damage.

Human-rights observers have condemned the attack as a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement & international humanitarian law, which prohibits strikes on civilians.

Has Israel stopped starving & murdering Palestinians? Have all the Palestinian hostages been released? Are the settlements being dismantled? Is the occupation over? Do Palestinians have the right to return to their homes? Do we have accountability &justice for Israels war crimes?

Opponents of the existing Christian churches whether ideological, political or both were generally called heretics & witches were regarded in a similar way, to be both persecuted & murdered. - RAB

Not all witches were women. In early modern Europe, more than one in ten people executed for witchcraft were men, including cunning healers, charm-makers, or astrologers who crossed unseen boundaries. #WyrdWednesday
