It was immense sadness……and may be chilling when I saw that face of a small angle who was killed by Israeli’s shells…

I know...no one would believe me, but today I saw my baby's face in Beit Hanon's massacre....

Dear son;

For you I chose to write…I know I am not a poet and I don’t know how to use the fanciest words of English…I am Arabic and when I cry…I cry in Arabic and when I love..I love in Arabic..

Forgive me…I DON’T HAVE THE ARABIC LETTERS RIGHT NOW....but I am sick of being silent and handicapped…

My son…It was you….I swear... with the long most beautiful eyes and lashes. the color of your skin... the cheeks…

I know you are very dear to your mom and you started saying the word mommy just few days ago….every one was proud of you…they clapped, applause…may be sang for you…and you smile.. Oh my God….your most adorable smile on earth…the sweetest one ever…

I don’t know your name…may be you are Omar….or Sameh…but I know exactly your face and I will never forget you…because I will keep you in my soul…and when I am busy or distracted I will just look to my son and I will see you again… I will ask the grave just to be calm on your little body…and not to disturb your dreams…. And may Allah bless you live and dead….

Dear Bushra

I cant understand your pain since I’m a mother too, but there are other things to bear in mind, this is not the whole truth, I work in the News department at Alarabiya Channel, the day of such massacre we were discussing with the news bulletin producers if we can show all the rush of pictures that we get, sometimes we do not. Not because we want to hide the truth, but because some photos just might be disturbing to humans, especially to children who might happen to be in the living rooms watching with their parents. We are torn apart between revealing the whole truth to the audience and the amount of savageness in what we see coming from Iraq and Palestine.

Dear Igbal;
Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave a comment. I am realy looking at you as a role model. May Allah bless you in your hard job where it is hard to adjust between sense and emotion.

This is really difficult to draw a line between the levels of awareness. We know the 'Heaven' and we know the 'Hell' but when we are going to die, its a blessing of Allah to hide from us, keeping us busy doing all our activities till last breath. Regards
