It hits me
hard this morning, the news of the war between the Palestinians and
Israel
; as I do my morning surf of
websites I always start with the BBC and work my way local. From the comfort of my North American office,
with a picturesque snow scene out my window I start to read. This morning their front page article was
about the effect this war is having on Palestinian children. The psychological trauma caused by enduring
the endless bombing, seeing parents and siblings die, and the truly horrific
story of one child who, when his home was plunged into darkness by a bomb tried
to feel his way out only to land on the open, wet flesh of his dead sister – he
couldn’t eat meat for three years after that.
Story after
story of people being displaced and their lives shattered and then I come
across this
picture [WARNING: GRAPHIC!] of a Palestinian man grieving over the bodies
of his three tiny children. Three little
kids dead, trying to grow up in a war zone.
Save me the
rhetoric that Israel is protecting itself from Hamas,
save me the long standing arguments that Israel
War disgusts me.
