The world has made a pledge not to let the horrors of the Holocaust repeat. And yet, they are repeating today in Gaza.

Last week, we passed the 100th-day mark of Israel’s latest episode of aggression against the people of Gaza. It was a depressing milestone to consider. A hundred days of Palestinians being mercilessly exterminated in all kinds of brutal ways: Israeli bombs ripping them apart, Israeli bullets piercing their skulls, and the Israeli-imposed siege starving them or killing them through otherwise treatable infections.

A hundred days in which the countries that said “never again” almost 80 years ago did nothing to stop our extermination. A hundred days in which we pleaded, humanitarian organisations pleaded, the United Nations pleaded and people in the streets across the world pleaded, but we were all ignored.

        I think they’re sharing it to say that disinvestment can truly lead to change, e.g. the BDS movement, which is probably why Israel so vociferously attacks BDS as being antisemitic.

          That was my best guess too but I didn’t want to assume. You said it really well
