The pain is every day more and more unbearabler ... Till which extreme our faces in the mirror would be seeable? Now the "leaders" began to accept what for the most of us was clear from the beginning: this is not war but a genocidal massacre of innocent civilians (as they acknowledge now that palestinians are humans too) .... Now they will push for the unthinkable "two states solution": a way to not confront the homicidal fundamentalism of Israel and questioning their right to exist such an appartheid as part of the nations consensus ... such hipocrytical.

Meanwhile the discussion goes on, the blood of innocent childrens is painting our consciences...

This was a lovely yet heartbreaking poem. I feel so unhappy yet powerless to stop what is happening in Palestine.

So unbearable and heartbreaking, again and again. I pray that father and son will live. Thank you for honoring them with this tender poem and with the photos of the beautiful children of these brave doctors.

Heartbreaking poem dear Najwan Shukran.

I don’t remember any story of loss, pain and as grievous in the history of mankind as Dr. Alaa's story, even those stories of prophets and saints we read in the holy books and ancient texts, nothing like this has happened before. The blood of her children will haunt all of humanity forever.
