Many in the West will blame Palestinians for breaking the ceasefire regardless. One day the distinction will be made between Hamas & the Palestinian people who are oppressed & terrorised by Hamas & Israel.

Where is the coverage of Palestinians trying to recover the remains of loved ones from bombed buildings. Oct 7 was terrorism what the Israeli government has done since is also terrorism. Genocide/ethnic cleansing is criminal.

The only "peace" I'm seeing as it relates to Gaza is a "perpetrator peace," patting themselves on the back for a job well done, confident they can walk away from their genocide without being held accountable, and the "peace" of a massive graveyard. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
