From Minneapolis to Palestine [Pictures]

A mural of George Floyd, who was murdered by police in Minneapolis, can be juxtaposed with murals of Palestinians murdered by the Israeli military at a refugee camp in Palestine/Israel. Recently President Trump stated his intention to deploy military across the United States to quell protests. In the U.S., the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement resembles the way the Israeli military treats Palestinians in Israel's effort to "ethnically cleanse" Palestine/Israel.
