Israel's Genocide in Gaza: A Call for Global Isolation and Accountability
The UN's special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, has revealed that 83% of Palestinians killed in the last two years were civilians, with Israel's military campaign in Gaza dropping 100,000 tonnes of explosives since October 2023. The international community must take immediate action to stop this genocide, including diplomatic and economic isolation of Israel, and supporting those in Israel who oppose it.
