Demonstrators in St. Louis marched this week through the Central West End to protest the Israeli military's bombing of homes and businesses in Gaza, East Jerusalem and West Bank.
Neveen Ayesh has not been able to sleep or eat this week, knowing that her aunt, uncle and cousins are in harm’s way in West Bank.
She and other Palestinians in St. Louis are watching with anger and dismay as Israeli military forces continue to bomb homes and businesses in Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and West Bank.
“I am waiting every morning. I am terrified when I wake up, checking social media, checking with family because we never know,” said Ayesh, a member of the Missouri chapter of American Muslims for Palestine. “Is it going to be my cousin next? Is it going to be my uncle?”
