    Palestinians in the US reject today’s mtg between & members of the Palestinian community. The ink hasn’t dried on the administration’s approval of $735 million for more bombs for Israel’s next assault on Gaza. These representatives don’t speak for us.

    The media rarely reports on Gaza when bombs aren’t falling. Thank you for this glimpse into what its like to live with Down Syndrome, survive repeated Israeli aggression and never being allowed to leave Gaza, even for treatment.
