Indian Americans voiced their concern and held a peaceful rally in Chicago to express solidarity with Israel in the ongoing conflict involving Palestine-based militant group Hamas. The protesters were showing the flags of Israel, India, and the US at the rally.
In response to a barrage of rocket attacks, Israel has formally declared war on the Islamist militant group Hamas which has claimed the lives of more than 1,300 people. The fierce fighting has caused destruction on an unprecedented scale and the conflict continues to escalate.
In a hardening stance, Israel’s military on Friday warned all civilians in Gaza City to evacuate “southwards,” as the UN informed that mass evacuation of such a scale in northern Gaza was “impossible” without major humanitarian consequences.
The members of the Indian American community stated that “Terrorism is not only an Israel issue, it’s an ongoing humanitarian issue. It must be stopped before it gets too late.”.
The support for Israel during the rally comes as PM Narendra Modi told his Israeli counterpart, Netanyahu, in a phone call that the people of India stand firmly with Israel in this difficult hour, and expressed strong and unequivocal condemnation of terrorism in all its forms.
