Hey guys, wanna see my book naked? 😜

Israel has evacuated El Shifa Hospital in Gaza this morning, leaving 400 bodies, some crushed by tanks, others buried alive in body bags, with burnt buildings and children under 13 executed.

This isn’t war. This is genocide.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
