Only consciousness Can. Therefore I am reaching out to a Man of God. Today is my son Rocco’s birthday.

Madonna emphasized that her call for action wasn’t about taking sides or placing blame. “I am not pointing fingers, placing blame or taking sides,” she clarified. “Everyone is suffering, including the mothers of the hostages. I pray that they are released as well. I am merely trying to do what I can to keep these children from dying of starvation.”

She urged her fans to make a difference by donating to various organizations that are working on the ground in Gaza, including @wckitchen, @womenwagepeace, and @women.of.the.sun_, among others.
