I captured these images while on the march last Saturday to add my voice to stop the killing - of children no matter where they are. Stop the suffering, stop the torment. These are images we see on telly almost every hour on the hour, and most often than not I look away. I look away beacuse I feel so helpless. I look away because there is one other image that keeps playing in my mind, one that is so heartwrenching - A mother was in the boat leaving with a group of others for safety, her hand outstretch, she was begging the soldier to turn the boat around to get her three year old, (if I am not mistaken) left behind with her other son. Picture cut to two boys crying - hands reaching out to the mother as the boat sped away. The brother trying to console his three year old brother is a child himself. I cannot get this image out of my mind. I pray to God that the family is back together.
picture speaks a thousand words..sedihnyerr..
ReplyDeleteand yet we turn green with envy at every click of red-soled Louboutins, every pointy-toed Jimmy Choos, every stolen glances into the house of Blahniks, we forget that there are those without shoes...and there are those without feet.
ReplyDeletehmmm...kdg2 tak sanggup tgk berita pasal benda-benda ni kesian sangat-sangat :(
ReplyDeleteKT - theres outrage as well as a deep sense of helplessness... kesian tapi tak trbuat apa2.
ReplyDeleteI cried everytime seeing kids pic.dead,crying...
ReplyDeletesedih.

i was most touched by the pic that shows two siblings killed.. and they were just babies... could OIC help ? well , we just have to wait n see. hopwfully it will get the attention of the barbarics.
ReplyDelete*Sad*
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stop my tears reading yr earlier post on Mr.Haidari, my officemate came asking why I cried.
Kak Teh, I know which news you meant! I cried when i watched that. betul tak tahan tengok the poor little boy crying for his mum. and his mum crying so hard. the soldier on the boat mcm tak boleh buat apa2. Tak terfikir kalau i was in that position and alia crying on the bank. boleh terjun boat agaknya. :(
ReplyDeleteI saw on the news the mother crying out in panic with outstretched hand trying to reach her son and screaming for the man to stop the boat. It brought tears to my eyes as I put myself both in mother's and son's shoes. This is sadly one of the many sad pictures of destruction of civilian lives caused by wars.
ReplyDeleteI pray that mother and son will one day reunite.
UbA, sedih bagi kita, bagaimana agaknya mereka yang menanggung?
ReplyDeletenazrah: I was just thinking abt Taufiq's lost handphone - there are kids with lost limbs, for heaven's sake!
alinlai, memang tak sanggup tengok, tapi berita tu tak akan pergi gitu saja, kan?
redkebaya - memang tak terbuat apa-apa, doa saja.
azma, entah lah azma, lepas satu satu. macam tak ada kesudahannya.
ReplyDeletetee, there were so many pcitures of babies - dead babies everywhere.
onde-onde, that is one of the ways can help. Those who survived need to go on living. memang zalim apa yang berlaku.
Ubi, at least Mr Haidari dah terlepas dari segala seksa ni.
ReplyDeleteailin, i am so sorry.
sriperwira, perhaps this is only shown around here? I would have jumped too to save my babies. These people are heartless.
Newkidontheblog - yes, we can only pray. pray that itdoesnt get any worse.
Saya tak boleh tengok.....sedihnya...
ReplyDeleteurgh! :(
ReplyDeleteSaya memang tak suka tengok perang2 ni. Dalam era milenium ni ada lagi la manusia tak bertamadun. Moga bala Allah cepat tiba kat diorang tu. 'Victory'(to those brainless n heartless people) atas derita orang lain. Soooooooooo SAD....
ReplyDeleteThe ones with the right frame of minds will definitely not like seeing all these. But rather unfortunate, the armies don't start the war, they just follow orders but the politicians do.
ReplyDeleteI've been super mega depress reading from aljazeera. What they did is too cruel for us to swallow. Nak muntah rasa pikir jahatnya diorg ni. Allah saja lah yang turunkan azab atas laknatullah semua tu.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I couldn't find latest news on Lina J0y's trial. Some say the court approved her application. Innalillah...
such a heartbreak for little ones to go through life's tragedies at too young an age, isn't it? sigh...
ReplyDeleteThe real victims of the political chess game.
ReplyDeleteKakteh, the 4 days stay kat Caesars Palace, Vegas bukak my mata sebesar-besarnya. Lebanon tak exist langsung. Semuanya focus kat gaming machines, kat entertaiment. Dunia luar dont matter. Kalau ada tunjuk kat tv.. semua kita yang salah. My stress level bila tgk tv : MAXIMUM!!
ReplyDelete....
ReplyDeleteHow many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
* forgive me but I would turn the channels from seeing traumatic sights like what KT described as I would be deeply affected for a very very long time *
May Allah helps those children..they have gone super nova cruel....Dont they have a heart at all?
ReplyDeletesemoga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas mereka, dan semoga yang zalim mendapat pembalasan yang setimpal..
ReplyDeletei would definitely have jumped off the boat nauzubillah kalau jadi kat diri sendiri... i feel helpless and i hate the feeling...
ReplyDeletesedih! hanya boleh doa supaya mereka ditempatkan bersama org beriman..

kak teh, whenever this happens, i fel terribly helpless. what can we do except protest and shout and march? in the end, wars are lost and won by diplomats. and measured by economic gains.
ReplyDeleteyang sedihnya i see that the suffering in lebanon is now used by others to gain political mileage. that's shameful. (did i send warning bells to the SB's now? sorry!)
Kak Teh,
ReplyDeleteThe power of John Lennon's imagination.
If only the Zionists have it.
IMAGINE
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there’re no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Hello 'Aunt' Teh ;-). Yasmin safely delivered a healthy 2.8kg baby Norah. Dtk Dr Wan was the anesthetist, who infact mentioned your blog site.
ReplyDeleteHere we are in KL fussing over getting a single room with the air-cond the right temperature and the flowers arranged right, and why the nurses are never fast enough. Whilst others have bombs being dropped on their heads. What a world we live in.
oh your description. No I can't bear it. i feel like jumping out of the boat myself for her.
ReplyDeleteMay Allah save them all....InsyaAllah
ReplyDeleteThere are malevolent elements hell bent on mass murder and anihilation of anyone who goes against their agenda.
ReplyDeleteIt is not a time for peace.
Its not a time to turn the other cheek and least of all, this is not a time to parrot canard lyrics to a song on a lost cause.
Comment is superfluous.
