Rania was breastfeeding her miracle twins at night with her husband sleeping beside them. She held the twins tight to her chest and said, "If thousand people love you, I will the first one, if only one person love, it would be me, and if no one loves, I will be dead." An hour and a half later, she was awakened when her home was hit by an Israeli airstrike in the city of Rafah.
 
According to March 4, 2024, ITV News.' Rania screamed for her children and her husband. But there was an answer. "They were all dead." 
 
Farouq Abu Anza, a relative of Rania, said about 35 people were staying at the house, some of whom had been displaced from other areas. Total people murdered in the airstrike were 14 people, six were children, and four were women, according to the Hospital director where the bodies were taken. In addition to her husband and children, Rania also lost a sister, a nephew, a pregnant cousin, and other relatives.
 
The Abu Anza twins were named Wissam and Naeem, who were born after their parents spent 10 years trying to conceive.

On Tuesday May 1, I attended a protest at the South Oval at Ohio State University where students were demanding OSU to divest investments from companies with links to Israel and calling to end Israel’s genocide and forced starvation in Gaza.
 
The atmosphere was peaceful and festive and student activists passed sandwiches and slices of watermelons. I was there at the protest with my son who attends OSU. It is offensive for OSU and the media to call students' family members as "unaffiliated" and "agitators." You don't even have to be a "student" to take part in the protest at OSU. Do you? 
 
I met a lot of old friends and made a new one in the form of Assistant Professor Michiko Hikida of OSU, Department of Teaching and Learning. I learned from her that she attended the April 25 massive protest where nearly 40 protesters (students, faculty, and community members) were brutalized and violently arrested by Ohio State Troopers.

Imagine getting over one of the hardest challenges of your life. You are ready to start a brand-new chapter of your life. You can picture the new home you want, plans to get your degree, or your dream job just in reach, but all of a sudden you are told you cannot have any of it, all because of one mistake from your past. 

Whether from an OVI, an assault charge, or even something as small as shoplifting, nearly 100 million Americans have a criminal record. This “X on their back” follows them around the rest of their life. That is unless they receive a second chance in the form of expungement or record erasing.
