The men were crying for more help to evacuate the destroyed building. Their calls were accompanied by tears and cries but in vain. The shelter refugees have already died in one of the most brutal Israeli attacks. Qana Crime, a second one, killed at least 57 people in an Israeli attack on the village Sunday, 37 of them children, their bodies frozen in the angles that only death can bring.
The crime's TV footage and pictures posted on the internet reminded Iraqis with a similar crime happened in 1991 when the U.S. decided to punish Saddam for his invasion to Kuwait by killing his country's civilians. Amiriya Shelter crime was never forgotten. On February 13, 1991 at 4 in the morning it was hit by two American bombs, which incinerated the building, including all but ten of the 400 women and children seeking refuge inside of it. Despite severe looting to the shelter after the U.S.-led invasion, pictures of many of the victims remain, which includes several entire families who died in the slaughter. Shadows of women who died have been burned into the walls, similar to the infamous shadow of a man flash-imprinted into concrete as he was vaporized by the atomic bomb of Hiroshima.
I was 10 years-old when the crime happened. I still remember the footage of the men and women who were weeping for their families and relatives at the metal fence of the shelter. Their eyes were red as if they were crying blood instead of tears. Twenty-five years passed and I still see the same footage but this time in Lebanon. Lebanese civilians were crying blood for the loss of their relatives and friends in Qana.
It's shameful how the United Nations and the International community, including the Tyrants of the Arab World, became crippled and disabled. They can't stop the massacre. However, it is really great to see how the Arab peoples are not like their tyrants. Praise to be to the demonstrations that were carried out in Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Yemen and Lebanon against the enemy. Praise to be to the Arab Bloggers who express their solidarity with their brothers and sisters. These are the true Arabs who will one day revolt against their tyrants and occupiers and bring back the glory of their Arab World.
Viva Lebanon… Viva Iraq… Down with the Terrorists…
