We need a ceasefire in Palestine right now. The fighting is causing too much pain and suffering for Palestinians. Homes, and hospitals are being bombed, and people have nowhere to go.
A ceasefire would stop the violence and allow help to reach the Palestinians. A ceasefire would allow people to get food, water, and medicines. It would also make a way for leaders to talk and make sure they can get to a peaceful resolve. If the fighting does not stop the situation would get worse and more people will die.
Most people will agree that what Russia is doing to Ukraine is a horrible thing, but what Israel is doing to Palestine is 10 times worse. Yet we help the people that are committing a war crime. The world needs to come together and demand a ceasefire now to stop the suffering and work towards a better future for the Palestinians.
