EN – Thousands of families have been destroyed. The dead will not return, now we must do everything to bring back the hostages. Over 100 civilians (according to estimates) were kidnapped from their beds and are held hostage in Gaza by blood-thirsty barbarians. Children are watching their mothers being raped, tortured, murdered.
We have to speak up. We have to bring the Israeli hostages back.

Hostage taking of civilians and persons not taking or no longer taking part in the hostilities is prohibited in international humanitarian law (common article 3 to the Geneva Conventions as well as Article 34 of the fourth Geneva Convention and in both Additional Protocols to the Geneva Convention ) and is considered to be part of customary international humanitarian law. It is also considered a war crime

Rassemblons-nous pour dénoncer la barbarie, soutenir le peuple israélien et demander la libération de la centaine d’otages détenus à Gaza.
