'Trump is only one who can stop this madness'

No one can possibly deny that the heinous actions of Hamas on October 7, 2023 were anything but horrendous, vile and unforgivable.

Killing 1,200 innocent people and taking 250 hostages, in the name of their god, was guaranteed to provoke a response from Israel that would be swift, fierce and vengeful.

I'm not certain that anyone was quite prepared for the now disproportionate actions that have continued to follow.

The latest figures, disputed by Israel, claim that more than 33,000 Palestinian men, women and children have been shot or bombed and killed.

Hundreds of workers from aid agencies were killed last year alone.

Millions more are homeless with houses, businesses and hospitals destroyed, people forced to move to so-called safe areas whilst many more are still being killed and wounded as Israeli forces continue to expand their military offensive by air, ground and sea.

Meanwhile many journalists from all over the world have also lost their lives, especially Palestinians who are the only people allowed to report on the actions being taken as all other journalists and TV news teams are not allowed in to Gaza to report the realities being hidden by Israel.

The international aid agencies have been barred from distributing food, baby formula and medical supplies so the Israeli army is now solely responsible.
