Gaza - Cathy Sultan

Hamas entered southern Israel on October 7, killing Israeli soldiers and civilians. Israel retaliated, killing upward of 38,000 Palestinians and wounding some 80,000 others. For decades the plight of the Palestinian people has been ignored. Hamas's actions and Israel's response have put issues of apartheid, genocide and famine front and center. Students and activists from around the world have taken up the Palestinian cause and selflessly made it their own.
