That includes 260 revellers gunned down at a music festival, and whole families &#8211; including children&#8217;s and babies &#8211; who were massacred in a kibbutz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Israeli air strikes on Gaza have killed 900 Palestinians, according to the territory&#8217;s health ministry.<\/p>\n<p><span>*Do you know the protester?
