Children are being slaughtered while we silently observe

Another day passes by, I wake up, drink my cup of coffee, have my shower, get dressed, go to work.
In another continent; another country, somewhere far away from home, scores of people are being killed. Children are assassinated in cold blood and there is nothing for someone so powerless like me to do.
In the past few days over a 100 people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli forces. Israel is defending itself, they tell me. But can someone explain to me how a 12 years old girl could have threatened the life of Israelis? Or was it Salsabeel Abu Jalhoum, the 21 months infant, that was the threat?

Hunger strike by leaders of the Tunisian Progressive Democratic Party

Submitted by salamander on أحد, 2007-09-23 20:16

 

I received the statement below from a Tunisian activist friend on new crackdowns on human rights in Tunisia

 

Hunger strike by leaders of the Tunisian Progressive Democratic Party

They came first for the Communists,

I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

Then they came for the trade unionists,

I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

Then they came for the Jews,

I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . .

There was no one left to speak up.
