62 names.

62 names out of fourteen thousand

These are the names of children killed in the Middle East since October 7th.

There is a list fourteen thousand lines long of the names of dead children killed in a war since October 7th

That number is growing daily.

What insane reality are we living in where there are tens of thousands of dead children and more being killed daily that we do not speak out and call for peace?

Please write your city councilors to adopt a ceasefire resolution to stop the senseless killing of children.

Go look at the faces and names of these dead children and ask yourself if there is ever a valid reason to suborn the murder of a child.

I don’t think there is.
