A PALESTINIAN told me that in Gaza, the word ceasefire means “we (Palestinians) cease and they (Israelis) fire”.

- Z KHAN | Durban

Since the truce/ceasefire, or whatever you want to call it, came into effect in Gaza, the occupation has committed over 194 violations.

Over 241 Palestinians have been martyred. The Zionist state of Israel is a genocidal, suicidal and maniacal creation that thrives on blood letting, violence and suppression to grow. It is a festering malignant tumour on the face of the planet. It had caused nothing but division, aggression, hatred and sorrow in the world.
