Daniel volunteers were shouted at, spat on and stalked. They were told by police to travel in groups. I couldn't get it all in here.

You are deluded if you think Israel has stopped killing Palestinians after 77 years of slaughtering them.
An ongoing systematic murder while western leader sell them weapons and turn a blind eye. DISMANTLE the illegal occupation
#Israel is killing at least 7 Palestinians per day in #Gaza during a supposed 'ceasefire'.

(Not counting resistance fighters trapped in Rafah, whose withdrawal under @icrc.org escort Israel refuses & is killing them.)

Russia is currently killing 8 Ukrainian civilians per day in Ukraine.
