Explain how "Hamas surrendering" would end Israel's murder (including more than 200 people in the West Bank just this year, prior to 10/7), displacement of families, arbitrary and abusive detention, and ecocide--including pouring cement in wells, burning olive trees, etc. Thanks

Advocates often use the passive voice when talking about violence against animals; e.g., "pigs are sent to slaughter when they're just six months old." We should use the active voice and name the perpetrators: Smithfield, Foster Farms, etc. and their officers do the killing.
