Protests by supporters of Israel and Palestinians have been held around the world since the latest escalation between Hamas and Israel. Hamas said it launched its attack Saturday because Palestinians’ suffering had become intolerable under unending Israeli military occupation, increasing settlements in the West Bank and a 16-year-long blockade in Gaza. Israeli warplanes continued to pound the tiny territory of 2.3 million people after the unprecedented weekend attack. The war has already claimed at least 2,500 lives on both sides. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
