We are glad
— Ayler Roskos
this deal helped
free the hostages
& reunite them
with their loved ones.
But we must
remember that
this so called
“ceasefire”
will not end
Netanyahu’s
American funded
genocide of the
Palestinian people.
We must hold
our government
accountable for
using our tax
dollars to arm
the IDF with
weapons of
mass destruction.
Our tax dollars
should be spent
on things that
help people live,
like hospitals,
farms, affordable
housing, &
green energy.
Lastly, we
will not rest
until all our
Palestinian
brothers &
sisters are
free to live
in peace.
