There is growing domestic and international outrage over Israel’s mass killing of more than 22,000 people in Gaza – mostly women and children – including hundreds of UN workers, journalists and medical personnel. The daily death toll continues to exceed 100.
[NOTE: More than 116,000 Americans have used CAIR’s action alert to contact their members of Congress and call for an end to the violence and the renewal of U.S.-led efforts to end the occupation. SEE: Urge Your Members of Congress to Address Root Cause of Mideast Violence]
