This blew me away this morning (courtesy of @the_stardust on Twitter): a picture from a protest against the emerging war between Israel and Hamas.
Not only is this an inspirational picture, it strongly evokes David S. Goyer's story from Action Comics #900 in which Superman intervenes in an Arab Spring-like protest by simply standing amongst the protestors in solidarity:
This story received a lot of press at the time for Superman's subsequent renunciation of his US citizenship (discussed here and in a chapter in the upcoming Superman and Philosophy), but I hope what Superman--and that real-life little boy--did to support the worldwide march toward greater human rights for all will remembered for much longer.
