Stop The Killing

Posted on October 14, 2023December 24, 2023 by admin
Stop the killing - harming civilians ANYWHERE is wrong. We must end the COMPLICITY of our governments. ALLOW humanitarian aid into Gaza. CEASEFIRE NOW

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognising this may be incapable of morality”

– James Baldwin

During the 2014 Israeli military operations in Gaza, Leon wrote The Ballad of Rivka and Mohammad. How horrifying that, over a decade later, it is still relevant. Find the lyrics here.

This is my letter to the Guardian which it refused to publish though it had well over 100 signatories:

"Since Gaza is uninhabitable, because Israel has made it so, and since most of Gaza’s citizens are refugees or the children of refugees, because Israel has made them so, the only just and humane solution is for them to be allowed to return to their homes in what was Palestine until Israel usurped it. Another Great March of Return, only this time without the violence inflicted on the marchers by Israeli snipers."
