Over 2,000 Palestinian Children Killed  Since Outbreak of Second Intifada
 

The psychological instigation is worse. Trying to disrupt the collective identity of the Palestinians , the mutilation of the developmental milestone of the psyche with humiliation, the detainment of young Palestine children, watching your ancestral home being smashed to the ground for Jewish settlements to seep in, the censorship of right of speech, the inhibition of basic right to movement etc.

The horror scenes that appeared in the “leaked or smuggled” video clip of the child Ahmed Manasra sitting among three Zionist interrogators, have called lots of rage and anger, at the time of lots of sympathy and proud of an iconic Palestinian child that will carve its image in the human memory like Fares Odehm Mohahhd Al-Durrah and Iman Dehho.

Last week a friend of mine was excited to celebrate “The Independence Day of Palestine” in Ramallah as the central and official celebration happens yearly. I felt indifferent and didn’t join the some who even mocked him. At the day of Independence Nov.15th he went early and came late exhausted:
-“How was it?” asking, almost knowing how it felt like when you walk a long way with a big hope and come back with nothing.
-“It was OK, but the zionist bastards spoiled it.” he replied dejected.
-“Why? How?”

“There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us [the jews], and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults.”

This is a very interesting debate between Veteran Israeli Journalist Amira Hass and the Israeli Ambassador to South Africa Arthur Lenk. This is a must see video, please share!
