this seems to be a trend in the last three weeks. medical personnel are killed with their families after they leave the hospital to take a break from long shifts. why is israel killing doctors, nurses, and medics? there's no reason. "israel doesn't owe anyone any justifications."

There was a woman holding a sign at the protest today that said: "I'm Ukrainian not a hypocrite" and she was crying the whole time i was walking next to her.
