Time to stand

What is happening in Gaza is barbaric. It has been reported that since October of last year more than thirty-one thousand people have been killed and there have been over seventy-two thousand injuries. What we are witnessing is genocide. Genocide is ongoing in the world but the news about same is quiet. Some do not even recognise that they are a number among the lambs to the slaughter. The depths to some of the nefarious activities that threaten and take human life are unknown, but what it continues to reveal is the beastly nature of some who walk among us and call themselves humans. The cries of those who are suffering are unheard by many. For some, if they are not directly affected, they do not care and for others it is a coping mechanism to detach to protect their mental health.
