 emory\, and the unseen ripples of America's gun violence epidemic. As thes
 e senseless incidents claim more young lives than any other cause in Ameri

 n a handful of women stood silently in a public square in Tel Aviv\, each 
 holding a photograph of a child killed in Gaza. On every image: the child'
 s name\, age\, date of death\, and the words "WAS AND IS NO MORE." Their s
 tillness is heavy\, pressing against the rhythm of ordinary life. Some pas
 sersby look away\; others respond with denial\, sorrow\, or rage. Yet week
  after week\, new names are added\, new photographs are printed and lifted
  high. And each week\, more people step forward to join this quiet act of 
 protest.
