America is complicit in the slaughter of the Palestinian people. 2.2 million people are trapped. Disease is spreading. Children are starving to death. And we continue to provide U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me, a software engineer: I suspect it's CSS margin collapse. I'd update to use flex and justify-content:space-evenly but I know you recruiters trust Outlook as a renderer.
