We, Palestinians, whether Christian, Moslem or otherwise, are being killed every single day in Palestine . Our houses are being demolished, our roads being destroyed, our children being slaughtered, our lives being taken away by the Israeli helicopters, bulldozers, tank shells, and airplane rockets. Our lives are violently, yet quietly being taken away by the Israeli Occupation Forces. The murder here is loud and graphically violent, yet scarcely a whisper of these atrocities is heard through the news organizations of the West.

The situation here is completely insane. Day after day, Israelis come to our homeland and kill, kill, kill as if Gaza was a shooting gallery in a carnival. All over Gaza are leftovers of the Israeli frenzy to shoot at anything that moves. Legs and arms of innocent Palestinian children laying on streets and remaining rubble from what was once someone’s house. What was once tiny soft pliable fingers from a baby can be found hardened like rocks on Palestinian soil. One can find a piece of a head with the brains oozing out like a melon.

Our children’s blood runs through the streets of Palestine and no one cares, certainly not Israeli and Jews in America or Britain . Why do these children have to die? New born babes in Beit Hanoune were welcomed into this world by Israeli artillery fire. Israeli tanks blew up their homes while they were asleep.

Where is the American and British Press? Where is the outcry from the lands of Democracy? How many Palestinian children must be murdered, yes, murdered before someone in the West says “Enough!” What level of butchery must the Israelis rise to before the world can’t stomach the carnage anymore? Let the 13 family members hear it, even if they have to hear it in hospital refrigerators.

The blood is everywhere. In few minutes more than 21 people were killed this early morning while the children were sleeping -- 60 people were injured.

The brother of two people who were injured was heard screaming in a hospital, “Why, why, Israel is killing us, why my brother?"
