Palestinian supporters march in Harrisburg: ‘We’ve been begging to be heard’ ...FREE PALESTINE

“We don’t understand that the Israeli government, which is one of the most sophisticated armies in the world, that’s funded by the largest imperial army in the world, is fighting against civilians... This is one of the worst atrocities that has happened in the history of humanity. You don’t have to be a Muslim, you don’t have to be a Christian, you don’t have to be Hindu or any other religion to know that this is a human issue.” Omar Mussa

 “For years and years, we’ve been begging to be heard and finally [there are] protests all over the country- No one has ever talked about Palestine this much,” Elisa Thabateh

"“A lot of people think it’s ‘Oh Israel has a right to defend themselves,’” Thabateh said. “From what? Palestine has a right to defend themselves and they’re trying their best. But it’s really just children against military officers.”"  

"“Because this genocide, this ethnic cleansing, it’s been going on for so long. The violence is not something that has been going on for just weeks but is a continuation of decades of conflict." Elisa Thabateh

The violence is not something that has been going on for just weeks but is a continuation of decades of conflict.
