This afternoon in Boston, people came out by the thousands to rally in support of Israel, after a surprise attack by Hamas over the weekend.
The Israeli government has formally declared war and given the green light for “significant military steps” to retaliate against Hamas for its surprise attack from the Gaza Strip.
The declaration on Sunday portended greater fighting ahead as the toll from the conflict passed 1,100 dead and thousands wounded on both sides.
