Protesters demand

Ongoing Gaza war has international consequences as the protest to end the bloodshed and give peace a chance. Poor people of Gaza have paid the huge price sacrificing their homes and thousands of small children, women and men are being killed from the last 10 months (“Chicago protesters plan large marches as Democratic National Convention kicks off,” Aug.19, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, crowds of activists are expected to gather in Chicago for protests outside the Democratic National Convention this week, hoping to call attention to such issues as economic injustice, reproductive rights and the war in Gaza.

The world needs peace and prosperity. I hope the sense of peace will prevail and the war between Israel and Hamas comes to its end as soon as possible.
