A massacre. This is how Israeli drones see Palestinians in Gaza. As thousands rushed to collect humanitarian aid in the middle of the night, Israeli forces fired into the crowds and killed at least 107 and injured over 700. لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله

Breaking: The Chicago City Council has become the largest city in the country to pass a cease-fire resolution as four months of bombardment by Israel into Gaza has killed more than 26,000 people and displaced nearly 2 million others. The vote was 24-23.
