Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Demonstrators Protest Qana Bombing

HeadlineAug 02, 2006

Meanwhile, demonstrations continued around the world Tuesday over the Israeli strike on Qana that killed nearly sixty civilians. Hundreds of Palestinians marched in Gaza and Ramallah. In Jerusalem, protesters gathered outside the American consulate to protest US support for the war. Humanitarian aid has begun to reach Qana in the aftermath of the attack. One resident said the town was not looking for aid but for an end to the violence.

  • Unidentified resident: “The supplies only arrived today but we don’t want aid. What we saw here two days ago was the biggest proof of massacres being committed. Thirty-seven children were killed in one massacre, 57 people were dead. These aid supplies will not help. We want everyone to unite and take a position on a ceasefire.”
