🕊️
Don’t let the illusion of geographic distance fool you into thinking this is something that is happening half way around the world.
🚨We pay for this with every single paycheck.
The same companies contracted to build the wall in between the U.S. & Mexico are the same companies contracted to build the wall in PaIestine & lsraeI.
