Although the sun is blinding this time of year in our part of the world, the Middle East is seeing some of its darkest days ... I woke up this
morning to meet with scenes of carnage and destruction on television, and for a few brief moments, I thought it was footage of Iraq. It took me a few seconds realized it was actually Qana in Lebanon . The latest village to see Israeli air strikes. The images were beyond gruesome-body parts and corpses being hauled out from under tons of rubble. Wailing relatives and friends, searching for loved ones ... So far, according to humanitarian organizations, 34 were children. They were killed while they were sleeping inside their bomb shelters-much like the Amriya Shelter massacre in 1991
saw the corpses of children on television, lifeless and twisted grotesquely, what remained of their faces frozen in expressions pain and fear. I just sat and cried in front of TV. I do not know how I can still feel that sort of sorrow towards what has become a daily reality for Iraqis. It is not Iraq but it might be: It's civilians under lethal attack, is a country fighting occupation.
I'm so frustrated I can not think clearly. I am full of rage against Israel, the USA, Britain and most of Europe. The world is going to hell for standing by and allowing the slaughter of innocents. For the love of God, "" 34 children?? The UN is beyond useless. Has gone from being a union of nations working for the good of the world (if they ever were even that) to a bunch of gravediggers. They're only good for digging mangled bodies removed in the wrecked buildings and helping to identify and bury them in mass graves. They will not stop the killing, or even speak out against it-just come to help clean. "They are worth so little the lives of Arabs? If this had happened in the U.S. or UK or France or China, somebody, for now, I would have dropped a nuclear bomb ... How is this happening?
¿Where is the Security Council? Why have not they stopped Israel? Ehud Olmert recently told Condi that he needs 10 to 14 days of bloodshed, and has not done anything about it! Where are the useless Arab leaders? Can not the pro-American, spineless emirs crawl out of their palaces enough to condemn this taking of lives? Our presidents / leaders are only as influential as their oil barrels.
And the world is wondering how to create the "terrorists"! A Lebanese girl aged 15 lost five of his brothers and sisters and their parents in the Qana bombing ... Ehud Holmert could also kill her now because if you think that will grow with anything but hate in his heart to him and everything what he represents, he is a dreamer Is
this whole debacle the fine line between terrorism and protect the nation itself? If a militia, insurgent or military resistance-then it's terrorism (unless of course the militia, insurgent (s) and / or resistance have been funded exclusively by the CIA). If the Israeli army, American or British, then it is a preemptive strike, or a "war on terror." No matter the loss of hundreds of innocent lives. Never mind the children who died last night, after all, were only Arabs, right?
right?
