I have just got back from the hospital. I can only wish that I did not go there...i cannot describe to you what kind of scene it was: the wounded were everywhere...some are even being treated on the floor..in the corridors...it is way over capacity...and every minute another wounded comes in...and another and another...and the worst part is that most of them are children. The cries of children do not stop throughout the hospital not for one minute. And the wounds are not just any wounds...hands chopped, faces covered with blood and victims bleeding from different places. Around me were 3 mothers crying out loud at the loss of their sons and daughters...finding no one to ask for help but God and only God himself...the looks of their helpless but angry eyes...weak but traumatized faces...make me wonder what kind of life they will be living for the next days or months or years...if they ever get to live.
No one is being spared in Gaza. Everyone and I mean everyone is a target. It is not a daily trauma. It is a trauma by the hours..and the minutes. The scene alone made me feel hopeless and desperate enough to wish to die, rather than live in constant frustration and trauma.

Our thoughts are with you in Australia. I don't know what else to say other than, I hope the horror is over soon. I'm so sorry that you have to endure this pain and this terror.
Thank you for your wishes Parton. The fact that you sympathize with our suffering means a lot to us, as we constantly feel we are left alone. Thank you once again, and kindly spread the word about our blog.
For you, I've not enough sympathy but would like to prove you my full empathy.
The Israelis are committing war crimes and will pay for these abominations against chidren.
Israelis indeed are yet dead, morally dead, and you, courageous people of Palestine are the most alive people in the world.
Palestine is the first front line against Barbary.
I do not believe in God, so I just say, like my old grand father who fighted in the international brigades in Spain against Franco "Hasta la Victoria!"
Here, in Paris, We Were 50000 in the street demonstration last Saturday. Next Saturday we will be 100.000, You can be sure of that!

I would love to spread the word further on Australian radio. I'm presenting a morning talk program this week in Canberra, the national capital. Would love to chat with one of your contributors tomorrow morning my time.
My email is parton@capitalradio.net.au
