COLO. SPRINGS- Some pictures from today’s ANSWER / UFPJ protest of Israel’s continued attacks on Gaza. Meanwhile Israel launched more air attacks and continued to mobilize forces in preparation for a ground “incursion.”

This serious escalation will push back any chance of serious negotiations between the parties that might have been part of the Obama administration’s plans.
