One year after its agreement, the ceasefire in Gaza is in name only. The genocide and suffering continues, with Israeli forces killing and injuring Palestinians daily, and ongoing blocks to the entry of lifesaving aid, medical supplies and other vital repair equipment and building materials.

America is not a Christian nation or a Muslim nation. It’s a secular republic where freedom of religion means freedom for everyone, including the freedom to reject religion entirely. No religion gets to claim ownership of our government.
