Palestinians Protest Against the Bombing in Gaza

On January 2, 2009, 4,000 Palestinians from the Midwest and their supporters gathered at the Tribune plaza in Chicago to protest the bombing of Gaza’s residents by the Israeli military since December 27—to date 450 Palestinians have been killed (according to the Reuters article, “Israeli tanks, soldiers invade Gaza Strip.” January 3, 2009). The National Boricua Human Rights Network sent a contingent to protest in solidarity with the people of Gaza and all of Palestine. The throng later marched to the Israeli Consulate across the bridge on Michigan Avenue to continue their righteous protest. ¡Que viva Palestina libre!
