An Israeli soldier grabbed my 6-month old child from bed in a most brutal manner, and threw him on the road in front of the house. Those are the words of a Palestinian woman from Bethlehem, grieving on her situation, the brutality in which her children were treated and over her demolished house. On the Palestinian Day of Children, the least we can do is to remember our child martyrs, injured and detainees. In every city, town, village or refugee, you can find many children whose eyes have been lost, their legs amputated, their bones broken. In our hospitals many children lie helplessly, with great anger, pain, and fear from and for their futures.
Parents are as helpless as their children are, a fact psychologically haunting innocent children.
An international protection force is the least we can demand to provide our children, mothers and fathers with safety. Foreign eyes regard this demand as unnecessary and unfair. All rights reserved.
