In Honor of Khaled and Reem

Last year, in Nov 2023, the world got to know Palestinian grandfather Khaled Nabhan when a video of him went viral as he bid farewell to his granddaughter Reem, who was killed in an Israeli strike. We saw Khaled embracing Reem’s tiny 2-year-old body, kissing her cheeks, and repeating the phrase “this is the soul of my soul.”

This past Monday, an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza killed Khaled Nabhan. For over a year, Israel has been waging a relentless genocidal war on Gaza. Over 151,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured. Gaza faces a blockade and starvation.

On Sunday, Dec 22, we will honor the lives of Khaled, Reem, and the thousands of Palestinians martyred in the U.S.-Israeli genocide and occupation. We demand an immediate end to all U.S. aid and weapons shipments to Israel. We will stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and demand a permanent ceasefire now
