Palestine in
the eyes of its children
Kids Speak Out
Rawan 14 years old
“Today two children were killed by
a stray bullet from the Israeli soldiers trying to stop children
throwing stones,” said the broadcaster on the TV. I did not
believe myself when I heard the news. I said to myself what is
the guilt of the children. They have the right like every other
child living on this globe. They have the right to be happy, to
live in peace in their houses, now they can’t live in peace.
They live in fear of the enemy’s bullets that occupied their
land. Palestine is a green country overlooking the
Mediterranean. It has its religious status; it has Jerusalem,
Bethlehem, and lots of the important religious places. Jerusalem
has the Dome of the Rock, it’s the third holiest mosque, it was
the first direction of prayer (Kibla). Bethlehem is where Jesus
was born, may god bring peace on him. It’s not strange that the
Zionist enemy chose it to be his new home. They sunk their feet
in its holy soil killed everybody who came in their way without
thinking of age. Martyrs fell one after another, irrigating
their land with their clean blood. Up to now people are still
falling like martyrs for the sake of their land hoping that the
sun will shine again on their country and it will, god willing
when we unite to save Palestine. |
