Pakistan’s presentation at the ICJ court was impressing and most powerful voice. He emphasized the racial discrimination, human rights violations and genocide against Palestinian’s was going over 75 years yet the whole world just watched and silenced, I thank you on behalf of 🇧🇩 for your strong statements.

@herepeopleofthew thats the problem with people like you, they denounce one issue and cerntralize their own point of view on their defintion of suffering.
