In protesting the calamities of Donald Trump, we risk becoming indifferent to the plight of Palestinian children. UNICEF reports, nearly 10,000 are experiencing acute malnutrition and among them many are suffering from “severe acute malnutrition.” This is only the tip of the iceberg of what is becoming a disastrous famine. In all our rallies and protests we must make it clear that America needs to stop supporting genocide and that protesting the starvation of children is more than a free speech issue. It is a defining challenge to the moral fabric of our society.
