In a stirring display of solidarity for Gaza and defiance against the Israeli military's brutal crackdown on the Palestinian population in Gaza, my father joined a massive rally in Lahore, organized by Jamaat-e-Islami . The rally was a poignant expression of the collective grief and anger over the horrific atrocities committed by the Israeli forces, including the indiscriminate bombings of hospitals that claimed the lives of thousands of innocent Palestinians, including women and children.
