Making A Dream Of A Dying Child Come True

[SherriMunnerlyn]

This is the story of a little Palestinian girl who is dying. Her name is Asmaa, and she lives in Jabalyia refugee camp.

She lives within a world where this is supposed to be the law, the Declaration of the Rights of the Child adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution 1386 (XIV) of 10 December 1959. And it states: "The child shall enjoy all the rights set forth in this Declaration. Every child, without any exception whatsoever, shall be entitled to these rights, without distinction or discrimination on account of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, whether of himself or of his family." http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/humanrights/resources/child.asp

This includes Palestinian children, I suppose? The story of little Asmaa, who lives in Jabalyia refugee camp, founded in 1948 after the massive ethnic cleansing carried out by Zionist gangs against the indigenous people of Palestine, tells otherwise. The Jabalyia refugee camp is the considered the most crowded Palestinian refugee camp ever. The camp had a registered population of 103,646 inhabitants on June 30, 2002. It only covers an area of 1.4 km² making it one of the most densely populated places on earth. The 11-year old Palestinian girl is fighting several diseases including kidney and spleen problems and bleeding. This, her father explains, caused teeth problem to her. “She might suffer bleeding at anytime. She might be taken to the ICU at anytime,” her father clarifies. “Her teeth medication costs me 36,000 NIS,” her father complains.

In the big world, kids her age dream of a green playground full of toys and cupcakes. But Asmaa's dream is different. The idea of death, despite her young age, haunts her. After all, there is no guaranteed dream under the occupation, even if it’s doing one last thing before death.Her dad, feeling the pain of his little daughter in this unjust world, does his best to meet her demands. Making Asmaa’s dream true is all he is thinking about, day and night.Despite the ordeal her daughter is going through, despite the many diseases she is fighting shoulder by shoulder with her family, Asmaa has a dream. “I want to visit the Holy Land of Mecca to pray for God and ask Him for His mercy,” she aspires. One last prayer before a looming death is what she dreams of, dear world.

Sheesh.. what a tear jerk-er..it's a shame that the Islamist of the middle-east could care less and stand by doing nothing.

It is the Occupation that is responsible for her living conditions and very likely her health conditions.

Do you have no shame or compassion for hurting children?

I shall never get over how loyalty to a nation makes people inhuman, how a nation matters more to some than the lives of children!

Sherri, were was your compassion for the butchered children in CT?....

A heartbreaking story, and we read of the suffering of so many children in the Occupation and feel so powerless to stop any of it. Here is Asmaa and her story, and just a few days ago I was looking at a photo of two little girls whose grandfather was dying of cancer in an Israeli prison, after being denied medical treatment to save his life.

WITHIN days, just yesterday in fact, I read a news story reporting their grandfather had died, the little girls, his grandchildren, were never allowed to visit him, they never even met him. HE WAS denied visits with his four kids for over a decade by The Jewish State.

AND the Occupation goes on and on, hurting and killing more and more children. THE faces of the children haunt us, but at the same time they inspire us to keep speaking against the Occupation and keep taking stands to oppose it and keep praying for these children, these beautiful children many of us have grown to love and care about so dearly.

[SherriMunnerlyn]

They are allowed concrete to take shelter under. THAT is not true for children living under Israeli Occupation in Gaza!

 

[Lipush]

your photo says otherwise

 

[SherriMunnerlyn]

I AM speaking of Israel not allowing concrete into Gaza and children in Gaza having no bomb shelters to seek shelter when Israel starts bombing Gaza. ISRAEL HAS bomb shelters in Sderot.

 

[MHunterB]

And if HAMAS had chosen to use concrete for building shelters, the kids in Gaza could have them too.....

 

[Lipush]

True, Marg.

 

[irosie91]

They are allowed concrete to take shelter under. THAT is not true for children living under Israeli Occupation in Gaza!

you don't need concrete to make a shelter---sherri slut------you just need to dig
a hole ------you are disgusting . a shelter can be made with a soup spoon

 

[toastman]

What a load of crap, ISrael doesn't allow concrete hahahahaha.

How did they rebuild infrastructure that was destroyed?

Concrete is in the WMD classification, Punkin.

sherri's people have the materials to build magnificent hotels and
sky scrapers and very intricate smuggling tunnels----but nothing
for the protection of the kids. they are the AMALEKITES ---
the people who sacrifice their children in fire to their "god" to wit
allah, isa and the rapist dog

Hamas wants dead kids. Dead kids=more sympathy for them.



"We love death more than you love life "

ISRAEL has BOMBED Infrastructure and civilian objects in Gaza in violation of intl law, as well as massacring about 1000 civilians in Cast Lead that included 344 children.THESE ATTACKS ARE WAR CRIMES! THEN, Israel does not allow concrete into Occupied Gaza to rebuild the structures Israel deliberately bombed and destroyed. NOTHING lawful about that either, intl legal authorities call the Blockade collective punishment and a war crime! AND Zionist apologists for war criminals like you defend these crimes against humanity!

IF there's no concrete allowed in Gaza, how were they able to rebuild damaged infrastructure?

"Israel permits concrete to enter for UNRWA projects, but not for Gazans engaged in the huge reconstruction needs. The limited heavy equipment mostly lies idle, since Israel does not permit materials for repair. All of this is part of the general program described by Israeli official Dov Weisglass, an adviser to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, after Palestinians failed to follow orders in the 2006 elections: “The idea,” he said, “is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.” That would not look good."
