As I sit down to pen this article, I can't help but feel a sense of urgency and righteous anger. The Israeli regime has been committing genocide in Gaza for years now, and it's high time we call it out for the atrocity that it is.
Let's start by addressing the elephant in the room: Israel's apartheid policies towards the Palestinian people. It's no secret that the Israeli government has been systematically oppressing Palestinians since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The ongoing occupation, settlement expansion, and military rule have all but ensured that Palestinians live under a perpetual state of terror.
But it's not just the occupation and apartheid that we need to talk about. No, my friends, what we're witnessing in Gaza today is nothing short of genocide. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been raining down hellfire on Gaza for years now, and the death toll continues to rise.
