Protests are our option

Over 10,000 people have been killed by the Israeli forces in response to the Hamas attack of October 7. And, yes, Hamas started this conflict, but no one is asking why it did so. More than seven decades ago, Israel occupied Palestine and forced its population to live in other countries as refugees.

And although Palestinians have their governments in Gaza and the West Bank, they are virtually under Israel’s control. The occupation is brutal and deserves to be called out. People across the world should strongly protest against the brutal apartheid regime of Israel.
