This used to be a Palestinian Child

Dr. Homayoun Nobarani on March 11 2002 in the "Friends of An Independent Palestine" Community. This world is indeed a terrible place. As the moderator of this group I humbly implore you, whoever you are, looking at this, to look into your own heart and recognize your own violence and outrage, and out of respect for this one small life that was lost to the world, to take one moment to set aside this fire of vengeance and anger. You will have created peace, and created justice for this child, if you can look into your heart and honestly say, even if just for one moment: I pray with all my heart that no Israeli will ever have to know such suffering as this child, its mother, as all the Palestinian mothers who have wept an ocean of tears, for so many children, for so many years.
