There must be accountability - not a cover-up - for the 15 humanitarian workers killed by the IDF.
I paid tribute today to the importance of bearing witness - from the brave paramedic who filmed the attack and lost his life - to my two friends and colleagues who were detained and deported from Israel over the weekend.
