Shooting and detaining an autistic child isn't acceptable.

The monsters responsible for this should be locked up forever.

Palestinian journalist, Saleh Al-Jafarawi, has been killed in Gaza City. Al Jazeera says the 28-year-old was targeted by members of Israel-linked 'militia' fighting Hamas in the Sabra neighbourhood.

The pain for this man in the video is palpable.

HOW DARE Netanyahu and Putin turn cities and villages into rubble and graveyards.

In this short video, a Palestinian man is overcome with emotion when he returns to his home to find it still standing.

Just drove from MD to SC and listened to "107 Days" on the way down. I really enjoyed the insights provided and remembered the feelings of hope Kamala's campaign spread.

Donald Trump and people like him will never truly understand real friendship and the deep ties humans have with each other.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.
