But Omair, a recent Community College of Denver graduate who is Palestinian, can only watch the news and hear about her family from afar as her people in Gaza endure constant “devastating” airstrikes from Israel’s military.
Omair, at the rally with fellow Palestinian-American and Community College of Denver student Ahmed Jabai, said they attended to give their people a voice. The conflict has become a polarizing issue for many people around the world, but Omair and Jabai said Palestinians have been viewed as the worst.
