Events in Gaza escalated recently after repeated Hamas protests flooded a central square, only to be met by armed and violent resistance from Israeli forces who fired on the peaceful protest with more than just bullets. Tear gas allegedly killed an eight-year-old girl, altogether the validity of the claim is under scrutiny by the Israelis. The death toll reached an estimated 58 killed, with thousands injured. This is one of they smalller protests arranged by the Hamas group in Gaza, who are now calling for violent vengeance for those killed. The killings are flooding the world with images of Israeli brutality that send a message of what kind of tolerance the Israel is running in its government. A very telling and hypocritical stance from the current US administration that supports “freedom” and “natural rights” but supports a state that fires on peaceful protesters.
