As the destruction and overarching chaos \u2014 that’s included the leveling of a building<\/a> home to the media offices of the Associated Press and Al Jazeera \u2014 between Israeli and Palestinian forces continues, people in several U.S. cities rallied over this weekend to denounce the violence; San Francisco was no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today marked the single deadliest day in the recent Israeli-Palestine conflict<\/a>, to date. Two Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least 43 Palestinians \u2014 including eight children \u2014 and injured 50 others early Sunday, marking a new level of violence in the current Israel-Palestinian conflict. (As we mentioned before: Just a day prior, an airstrike demolished the high-rise building which housed several news outlets; the structure, however, was previously evacuated out of caution.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
