No End in Sight in Gaza Battle

With no end in sight, Isreal continues it war against Hamas. So far, more than 350 Palestinians — about 60 of them civilians — have been killed, according to the United Nations. Four Israelis — three civilians and a soldier — have died. I pray that God brings justice to this oppression, may he relieve all those who have suffered in this world and in the hereafter. Amen.

"Its clear you people are inflicting Nuremburg crimes against the Palestinians."
