On a recent episode of Hard Knock Radio, hosted by Davey D, spoke with Zeiad Abbas Shamrouch a member of the Middle East Children’s Alliance about Israeli attack on Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah. On Sunday, Israel launched an airstrike on displaced civilians sheltering in tents that killed dozens of civilians. This massacre by Israeli forces has been widely condemned by world leaders and has brought into question Israel’s moral compass.
