Protest today:
I am writing you very quickly today. World Can’t Wait has a mission of stopping the crimes of our government. All day yesterday, in court (see here) we were getting messages and calls about the aerial assault on Gaza by Israel. Reading the news, we learned that Israel is preparing a ground attack, and that three Israelis were killed by missiles from Gaza. The death toll in Gaza is reported now to be 15, including children, and the widely circulated photo of a parents holding a baby they buried today.
From Dr. Mona Al-Farra in Gaza City, an urgent message on Facebook:
Dear Friends, Gaza is under extensive Israeli military attack, in less than 2 hours, 14 military attacks against different targets in different parts of Gaza Strip, 6 were killed including 2 young girls age 4 and 7, 11 were injured, the hospitals are already lacking essential emergency medications, and citizens were called for blood donation, we do not have power, iam using UBS, the first stage of this operation has been accomplished, we expect more escalation. your solidarity means a lot at this difficult times, pass the word, this aggression, should stop now.
Tne of the most popular tweets under the hashtag #gazaunderattack was, “I am embarassed to be an American today. How can we sit and watch innocent civilians murdered in Gaza, again.” And, “Obama sleeps soundly while all of Gaza is awake to the sound of US supplied bombs and rockets.” There were protests in last night in Seattle, DC, NY, San Francisco, Chicago, and more protests are planned around the country and around the world today.
