No words can describe the pain and sadness

I will not comment. Sometimes, silence is all that we can offer... A moment of silence for those innocent lives.

Hussam,

I'm glad that you published "steve harkonnen"'s comment.

It is exactly mindset's like steve's who think it is "comforting" to kill innocent children that the reason our world is in such a polarized state today. Shocking, but true. Even without foreign funded schools America is breeding such hate-mongerers.

Notice that I can't even be bothered to capitalize the word "palestinian" because in reality, the word is not even worthy of being a proper noun.


steve, you didn't even bother to capitalize your own name. The only comforting thing about your post is to know that deep down inside, you know exactly where you stand.
