Hamas' New School Curricullum:Kite-Kike Killing 101
Many of the children in the Gaza Strip still bear psychological scars from Israel's devastating January 2009 offensive, in which some 1,400 Palestinians were killed, including more than 300 children.
Amsiyat Awaja's house was destroyed during the war and her brother Ibrahim was killed, but on Thursday the 13-year-old had a smile on her face as she watched her kite swoop and dive high above the crashing waves.
"We still want to live and we still want to be joyful," she said.
Can you not cover an event as carefree, supposedly non-political as kite-flying without the egregiously cynical, facetious references to the Zionist oppression they must endure to such utter deprivation, misery? Apparently not.
"We still want to live and we still want to be joyful," she said.
Yes, we want to live so that's why we choose to blow ourselves up. Makes perfect sense.
