Nearly 1,000 business leaders are calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. Business as usual can’t mean turning a blind eye to ethnic cleansing. Our government needs to do 2 things in order to defend international law - impose total trade sanctions and a weapons sale ban.

It was not empty.
Families lived, laughed, loved , until
Then came mass expulsions.
Families were killed in public executions.
This wasn’t a war.
