. @melaniejoly si vous accordiez de la valeur aux vies civiles Palestiniennes comme vous valorisez/privilégiez des intérêts du gouv't Israélien, vous ne seriez pas dans cette position de «condamner» les actions d'Israël que vous avez pleinement activées & justifiées discursivement

1/2 Nous demandons instamment à Israël de s'abstenir de mener une opération de grande envergure à Rafah. L'impact sur plus d'un million de civils cherchant refuge, dont beaucoup de femmes et d'enfants, serait dévastateur.
