Absolutely horrendous. I've been following Bisan Owda on Instagram and it's absolutely awful what these people are going through at the hands of Israel.

This is unacceptably and I don't understand why nobody (no government that is) is doing anything about it.

I cringed so hard during the Canadian elections debate and our (now) prime minister Mark Carney refused to call this a genocide. I voted NDP because they said it in the debate with no shame.

But anyway we all have to stand up and protest. This is inhumane.
