  • “Activating the Genocide Convention”

  • Biden’s “Humanitarian Corridors” Enabling Ethnic Cleansing

    “Biden’s corridors are nothing but an effort to provide a soft-sounding cover for the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. Israel announced the establishment of these corridors on October 21, 2023.
