Joanna Colwell, left, and Margie Beckoff hold a banner with a clear message in front of a group of fellow citizens demonstrating in Court Square in front of the Middlebury Inn on Thursday afternoon. Around a dozen Vermonters gathered at the busy intersection to draw attention to the dire emergency unfolding in Gaza, as people forced to flee their homes and seek safety in the city of Rafah are now in mortal danger from bombing by Israel, paid for with U.S. tax dollars. Demonstrators came from the groups Extinction Rebellion, Middlebury Showing Up for Racial Justice, Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Vermont Coalition for Palestinian Liberation.
