The Rev. Constantine Nasr, an Oklahoma-based, Jerusalem-born, Antiochian Orthodox Christian, offered a powerful speech to the crowd asking where the local, state and U.S. leaders were when it comes to demanding peace in Palestine.

“We talk about the Holocaust … injustice done to the Jewish people, yes. But let me say there is Palestinian holocaust and nobody speaks about that. Children are dying. Homes are being destroyed. Big prison of Palestinians who have no rights. Where is the justice of America?"
