Today is Nakba Day. Seventy-six years ago today, 600,000 Palestinians were expelled from Palestine. Palestinians across the world mark this day and recall the catastrophe that continues to this day. No adjectives could sum up what is happening to the people in Gaza at the moment. There is persecution and the people are being tormented, brutalised, murdered, exiled and jailed. I could go on. Since 7 October last, 15,000 children have been murdered by the state of Israel. What sanctions are this country imposing against a country that can brutalise and murder such an amount of people in such a short time?
