'Why are they killing children just like me?'(Bahrain)
Gulf Daily News Bahrain ^ | 4/15/02 | staff

Posted on 04/16/2002 1:24:16 AM PDT by LarryLied

A 10-YEAR-OLD Bahraini girl yesterday sent a heart-breaking appeal to US President George Bush, urging him to stop the Israeli massacre of Palestinians.

Modern Knowledge School student Fajer Hussain Mohammed presented a letter yesterday to US Ambassador Ronald Neumann, at the embassy in Zinj.

"What caused this anger, to kill poor, innocent children," Fajer asks in her letter to President Bush.

"The children of Palestine have a right to enjoy their childhood and not die at this young age."

Fajer, accompanied by her mother Mona Ibrahim, read the letter to Mr Neumann, who promised to make sure that it is delivered to President Bush.

They both later released a white pigeon from its cage in the embassy's courtyard, as a symbol of peace.

"I am very pleased by the warm welcome I received from Mr Neumann, whom I am sure will do his best to give this letter to the US president," said Fajer.

"The letter was my only way to express my deep sadness about the brutal killing of the Palestinian people by the Israeli armies.

"I wish I could have done more for my brothers and sisters in Palestine but for the time being this is all I can do."

Fajer said she wrote the letter to President Bush because she was confident he would be able to end the war in Palestine.

"The president is a very strong and powerful man. I am sure that somehow he can come out with a solution and stop the killing of the innocent people in Palestine," she added.



Open letter to Bush...
By Tom Martin in
Israeli-Occupied Washington DC

Dear Mr President,

I saw footage of the destruction of Bethlehem on CNN. I am sickened and repulsed at the wanton destruction of this city. Unfortunately, every Palestinian city is experiencing the same. I have many friends in Bethlehem, all of whom have families, young children. God only knows the terrors they are experiencing. I am so sad and angry that I can barely write this note to you. While you are probably sleeping, your allies are slaughtering the hopes of an entire people and destroying their lives. You make me ashamed to be an American citizen.

You have made the entire nation accomplices to this barbarism. You have made all Americans accomplices to Nazi-like thuggery and it is a stain the American nation will NEVER be able to remove. Just as the Germans have been stained by their past, so have you stained the reputation forever of every American citizen.

Mr President, your continued support for the regime of Israel and its murderous and destructive action is disgusting and immoral. I don't know what Bible you read but it is not the one I used when attending Mass in Bethlehem. For you to ever walk in a church after your support for this murderous escapade will be sinful.

You can be assured that I and my entire family will spend the rest of our lives to make sure that this Nazi-like nation never receives another US penny to use to murder more people. When I worked in the US Congress, I considered what we were giving to be excessive then. Now, we have already given $100 billion to Israel. The problem they face is that their greed to steal more land and murder more people met with resistance and they are paying the price. The occupation has corrupted that country to its rotten core.

Israel defending itself. What a joke. Ariel Sharon is a war criminal and you have made us his sponsor. This is no war on terror. This is terror unleashed on an entire unarmed population with a few fighters trying to defend their families and homes. You have stained the reputation of the United States of America. My country!!!

Mr President, you are an embarrassment to humanity. And, unfortunately, you have just cheapened the life of every American. Your administration will go down in history as the one that snapped the moral fibre of this country to the rest of the world.

Ashamedly yours.
