  1. Canadian media like to say “Hamas” run health ministry to please the genocide supporters, because they feel adding the word “Hamas, will undermine the number of those killed in Gaza. That’s pretty vile and sick.

  2. In these dire situation where people are dying of starvation. I suggest mufti of Alazhar and other ulama should find a way to excuse the people from fasting. They can however compenaste by fasting when the sitution gets normal.

  3. May God (Allah) help the oppressed and innocents of this world. We said never again in 1945, 1979,1993. Here we are again, another genocide, another tragedy.
