What have you got to say now?

Since Dec 27th, Israel defended their move (attacks on defend-less Palestine), saying that they were merely targeting the Hamas. Women and children who were killed, were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Today in The Star (24th January), I read an article by Shahanaaz Habib (The Star's Reporter in Gaza) that was really difficult to digest. Below is the summary:-

"It was past noon on Jan 7 when Khaled noticed three Israel tanks in front of his house. One of the soldiers, who spoke Arabic, told the family to get out. Holding a white flag, Khaled stepped outside with his mother, wife and their three daugthers - Amal (2), Samar (4), and Soad (7).

At that time, 2 soldiers were outside the tank eating chocolates and chips. Khaled and his family stood outside after they were ordered to empty the house. Then, another soldier came out of his tank and started to shoot the children.

He started with the youngest, Amal before shooting Samar in the stomach, and then Soad. Khaled's wife was so shocked that she fainted. Later, even his mother wasn't spared; shot three times in the arm.

Khaled's asked help from the ambulance but the soldiers crushed the ambulance with a tank. A few hundred metres away, they saw a donkey cart. Its owner came down and offered help but a soldier shot both the donkey and its owner. They then had to walk 2.5km before they managed to find a taxi that brought them to the hospital.

Khaled's mother is now recovering, his wife is still mentally traumatised, Samar is totally paralysed, while the other two daughters did not make it."

Sometimes, I can't help but to wonder how do the Israel politicians face the press. How do they even face other human being? The same goes to the soldier to killed Khaled's family, crushed the ambulance, and shot the donkey and its owner. Such bad karma.
