How much more evidence do we need?

THE genocide in Gaza has continued for more than 100 days with almost 24,000 civilians killed, according to the Gaza health ministry – surpassing the death toll of any other Arab conflict with Israel since 1948. While the Israeli government, and their allies in the United States, have insisted that they’re not “targeting civilians,” a recent investigation by CNN has found that during the first month of war, Israel dropped hundreds of massive 2,000-pound bombs – US-made MK-84 ordnance – capable of killing or wounding people more than 1,000 miles (1,609.3km) away, in the densely populated 360-sq-km Gaza Strip. Indiscriminate bombing of civilians is strictly against international law.

Experts interviewed by CNN have noted that such bombs are used sparingly by the US and other Western militaries due to their deadly potential impact on densely populated areas like Gaza.
