UPDATE: Cambodia, the Arab League, Scotland, Afghanistan, Russia, South Koreans, the Congress of South Africa Trade Unions (COSATU), and Reporters Without Borders all have come forward to condemn the Israeli airstrikes.There has been increasing global support for the people of Gaza. Rallies have been held in places all over the world including NYC, Paris, Algeria, Canada, Lebanon, Rome, Istanbul, and Madrid just to name a few.
Tunisia, Syria, Pakistan, Malaysia, Iran, Turkey, and Egypt among others have all condemned the airstrikes against Gaza. Some have called for the UN Security Council and the Arab League to call meetings and immediately resolve violence in the area.
Gaza's population stands at 1.6 million people; children make up half of that number. Innocent children are at risk of being caught in the crossfire of the escalating violence; and many have already died as a result of that.
We cannot turn our backs on these atrocities. The world is watching Gaza and will not be silent.
