How many stories have you heard of Palestinians in Gaza, being deprived, or denied of basic human rights, such as medical attention, education, travel, the right of business?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, congressional representative, along with several other progressive reps., is trying to halt the U.S. sale of missiles to Israel.

The author analyzes the timing of the offensive on Gaza. There are still places in the world in which Muslims have been constant victims of ongoing war. They spend the holy month of Ramadan in conditions that the conservative media censors. Furthermore, the Eid festivals are celebrations that are observed in conflict.
