So this is just the latest flare up as violence. And everybody wants to talk about who did what, you know, two weeks ago or a month ago or a year ago. But you have to look back.

We have been living this for years now and we have been affected by it directly. Every Palestinian family has a martyr, every Palestinian family has a prisoner, we are affected by it day by day. Peace is not the solution. We need liberation. This is what we need. We need liberty from occupation, from the apartheid. And then we can speak about peace. I just cannot stand it when people start speaking about peace. It's not peace what we need, we need liberation.“ 16. Various of protest STORYLINE: Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Lisbon to appeal for peace in the Middle East. People from Portugal and around the world, including members of the Palestinian diaspora, gathered under the slogan “End the aggression to Gaza, peace in the Middle East“. The latest war between Israel and Hamas has become the deadliest for both sides. The Gaza Health Ministry said 3,478 people have been killed in Gaza and more than 12,000 wounded, with most of the casualties women, children and the elderly. Another 1,300 people across Gaza are believed to be buried under the rubble, alive or dead, health authorities said. More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians slain during Hamas’ deadly incursion, which resulted in some 200 hostages taken into Gaza. Militants in Gaza have launched rockets every day since toward cities across Israel. With troops massed along the border, Israel has been expected to launch a ground invasion into Gaza, though military officials say no decision has been made. A strike on a three-story building in Gaza City on Wednesday killed 40 people and another on a bakery in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed four bakers, according to witnesses.
