Over 100 cars and pick-up trucks emblazoned with signs and large Palestinian flags, with horns honking and lights flashing, gathered in a shopping plaza parking lot in North Philadelphia as part of a “car caravan for Gaza” on Dec. 30. The caravan traversed a large area of Philadelphia, occupying two lanes on the major expressways that loop through the city. People came out of their homes, and pedestrians and people in vehicles waved in solidarity and took out their cell phones to record the mobile protest against Israeli genocide and terror.
