"Dr Ahmed al-Farra, a senior doctor at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, witnessed the arrival of some of the remains.

“I was able to see three bodies when they were transferred to the Nasser hospital. They had bullets in their chest and head. They were executed. They had their hands tied,’’ Farra said. “They tied them so they were unable to move and then they killed them.”"

STOP THE GENOCIDE!
SATURDAY, APRIL 5 • 1pm • Washington D.C.

[Sponsors include #Palestinian Youth Movement, #Jewish Voice for Peace, and others]

"For over 16 months, #Gaza has endured a brutal, ongoing genocide carried out by #Israel with the full backing and support of the US government. Israel continued to violate the terms of the ceasefire reached on January 19th, breaking it over 980 times...

The movement against genocide in North America has risen time and time again in support of Gaza and will not rest now. The #Trump administration, building on the tactics of the Biden administration, is now increasing its attempts to silence pro- #Palestine, anti-genocide voices. "
