We must stop making the horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the subsequent genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza a matter of religion or of people. This is not Jews against Muslims and neither is it Israelis against Palestinians. This is a war led by men whose personal agendas have led to catastrophic bloodshed against people who never had a say.
These are the names to remember: Benjamin Netanyahu, Yehiya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, leaders and instigators of one of the greatest genocide to date.
They will one day appear before the International Court of Human Rights. They must pay for their crimes because they are butchers of humanity.
