Gaza

I am sure Ahmed Hasan will have an unbiased report...

Is there anyone on chowk who is not pro-Ham-ass?

Re: # 9

nkg...AK 47's are not stones...

Israelis are not Gandhians...they are Churchillian or Rooseveltian...they like to fight Nazis...

How about you?

Re: # 8
ahmed...
throwing stone is something muslas like very much...btw, so the next islamic pilgrimage (Hozz) will be in Jordan to throw stones in Israel....BTW, some of you will definitely land up in the place of ultimate sexual adventure (islamic heaven,where every male is bestowed with 72 arab virgins)....Israelis are no Gandhians....

Re: # 7 Mr.T you are not following cry of hearts .This is not whining as you characterise and is not difficult understand from your sympathy towards israeli people. What one man can do ? nothing but in unision of people can wash away mountains. Now there there are 1.5 billions of believers. If if every believer throws one stone towards israel will sink with weight of stones.
If all Muslims (I.5 Billion) get united and throw one glass of water at Israel, all Israeli will be drowned in the flood . But problem is unity, which Muslims don't have. Also I feel Hamas should not throw rockets they should understand Isarel is not India . All muslim people are in shame and mourning and feeling pain. Real shame is Pakistan Govt and Arab govt what they have done ? We are giving Kitab to low level american officers to V.president Biden who and his country is supporting israel.Now america is in cousultation with Saudi, Jordan, egypt kings and dictectors.They want to elliminate Hamas as that is dangerous to Kings of KSA and Jordan. Please do not one person for practical action. Due to this attitude we have not produced any +ve result or any body in Muslim world.
The so called your democratic leaders who stabbed former president are dishonest and corroupt and starting personal worship. Exactly same way lot of mouth steam is lost by our corroupt leaders whether it is Palestine, Kashmir, checnia, Chinese turkstan. Do not ask poet what practical done ask all our disloyal and corroupt leaders to answer what they have done.
Good day.

#6 ..you mean actually do something, rather than merely whining? or, much better, actually think about what we really want and then do something?? That would be against the Sharia!!

it is pathetic that all muslims can do can do is join communities, write articles and poems...and take the incident as a source of inspiration i wish we could do more...sigh

Ahmed Saheb,

Gaza awaits you...Mehsud is ready to help you to ship your to Gaza for Shahadat.........

Please leave immediately to your favourite Islamic destiny and 100 percent assured reservation to Jannah!!

"Dad, I'm Dying"
Ola Attallah, IOL Correspondent

Jan 15, 2009

GAZA CITY — "Dad, I'm dying."

The words keep echoing in Kamal Awaga's ears, sending jolts of pain into his feeble, wounded body.

These were the last words uttered by his 9-year-old son, Ibrahim, before he ended up as a practicing target for Israeli soldiers.

"They killed my son in cold blood," says the grief-stricken father, still in a state of shock.

Ibrahim joined more than 350 children killed by Israel in its three-week onslaught on the coastal enclave.

But while others fell victim to killer bullets or deadly bombs, Ibrahim's fate was even more tragic.

He became a shooting practice for a squad of Israeli soldiers.

"The Israelis did not show mercy for his innocence," said his tearful father from his bed at the Al-Shefa hospital in Gaza City.

"They had no pity for his tiny body," added the heart-broken father.

A Sunny Day

Nothing in the day prepared the Awaga family for the tragic twist of events that unfolded.

They woke up to a sunny morning after days of being locked in one small room to escape the massive Israeli bombardment.

"Mom, let's have our breakfast out in the garden. I'm tired of staying in this room," the grieved mother recalls Ibrahim's plea.

An hour later, the table was set in the garden and the family was hoping to enjoy rare moments of peace, unaware of the eyes watching them from a distance.

A first missile stole the family's job before another destroyed their house.

"Dad, I am dying," cried Ibrahim to his father who rushed frantically to his side.

"Hurry, let's go," Awaga told his wife and two other children while carrying bleeding Ibrahim.

But even before they could reach the gate, a flood of bullets showered them.

One bullet hit the mother's leg and another hit the father's waist.

Ibrahim's two frightened brothers ran for cover behind the rubbles of their bombed-out house.

Shooting Practice

As the firing died down, the family thought their misery was over. But the Israeli soldiers were not finished yet.

"When the soldiers came closer, I thought they will kill me," said Awaga who faked being dead.

"But they were aiming at my young child," he said choking at the bitter memory.

One soldier came close to Ibrahim's body, turning him by his leg and laughing while another fired his gun to the dead boy's head.

Laughs got louder as they carried the body to a higher place to start their party.

For a whole hour, the father hushed his cries of pain as he watched the Israeli soldiers compete in sniping on his dead son's body.

"They were using his bullet-ridden, bleeding body as a shooting practice.

"With each bullet, they were humming with words I could not figure out, but it sounded full of rapture. It was as if they were celebrating."

When they finally had enough "practicing," the Israelis took their guns and left the house.

Four complete days passed before emergency doctors were able to find their way to the family and rush them to hospital.

"What did my son do to deserve that?" Awaga asks, shaking his head in disbelief.

"The Israelis killed my kid, not once or twice but a thousand times."

Killed by Israel, Eaten by Dogs

Ahmed,

"As few more traces
Of innocence start
To suffer
Nights of mayhem
Exposes many shelters"
