An American artist has headed a protest against Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, describing it as a genocide, in a video that went viral on social media.
“I know that this is a genocide. We are scared, we are watching it unfolds,” he said.
He clarified that people cannot talk about the genocide in order to protect their careers and interests.
However, “I am not going to do it anymore. I am not afraid to speak the truth,” he said.
“My eight-year-old daughter said to me this morning: when we protest today, how are the people in Palestine going to know? Look at this. The world is watching what we do right now in this moment of injustice,” he added.
Gaza War
Currently, Israel is facing regional and international pressure to put an end to its war in the Palestinian enclave and allow the delivery of more aid.
At the same time, the Israeli government has been facing harsh criticism from countries, nations, and individuals who considered the war as a genocide or ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War, the Israeli strikes have killed more than 61,499 Palestinians and wounded over 152,800, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Dozens of Gazans including children have lost their souls due to malnutrition throughout the war that caused unthinkable humanitarian conditions.
