Thanks to social media, and Twitter in particular, the world could counter Israel's hasbara machine with our own version of crowdsourced PR, rallying together, to expose the horrible images, sounds, and footage of the carnage taking place in Gaza. I wished to capture some of those tweets, images here, as a reminder to myself and the readers of what took place - and to ensure we never let crimes like this be swept under the carpet any longer. I cried when seeing some of these images. Heart-breaking. This is the least I could do, to honour those that sacrificed with their blood, and lives. Long live Palestine!

And that's the result of 8 days of mayhem and madness. When is this going to end - only Almighty knows. We really need to sit down as humanity and think hard about where we are headed to. #PrayForGaza #PrayForHumanity.
