@IFSW Good to see the IFSW standing shoulder to shoulder with the social workers in Iran. The indiscriminate killings by the IDF war machine on innocent social workers is nothing more than brutal murder.

Among the 71 people Israel massacred in its airstrike on Iran's Evin Prison were these five social workers, who were there to support prisoners and their families Israel killed almost 1000 people during its unprovoked 12 day long assault on Iran

@AlanDettlaff @nasw Well said Alan, bravo for being one of the few social work professors to actually stand up and argue the case against Zionism and IDF genocidal slaughter in Palestine.

As Israel loses in the court of public opinion, we see desperate attempts to widen the conflict. All with the blessing and material support of the #ButcherBiden, a US President who claims Irish descent. Keep our country out of your mouth, @JoeBiden. Your ancestors disown you.

We are witnessing a live genocide by the State of Israel in Palestine, and I don't want to be an accomplice. Today it's Palestine, tomorrow it could be anyone. That's why I ask you to support by signing the initiative justiceforgaza.info #ICCJusticeForGaza

@noklesis Excellent, congrats Serene, I'll make sure we get copies for the library and get a personal copy :)
