Roman Holiday
Amidst the horror of the Gaza Massacre, which continues and shall never be forgotten, a moment of ‘worth living’-ness.
Some good chap in Denmark has re-visited the sites where the 1953 film “Roman Holiday” was shot and taken a series of now-and-then photos which you can see at http://www.cori.dk/roman_holiday.htm
I like to believe that – were they free of murderous oppression, tyranny and M16’s in the hands of delusional Zionist youths, whose minds were twisted to hatred long ago by their parents – the people of Gaza would adore a beautiful love story as much as any.
I wonder, too, whether the young IDF man with the M16 rifle who cut the family to pieces as the grandmother emerged, white-flag in hand, have done any different had he seen them as human beings?
“”He did it very slowly,” Ahmed said. “He took careful aim at the little girls, and shot Amal [aged 2] and Souad three times. Sammer started running back up the steps toward the house and he shot her also.” – Sydney Morning Herald
“When she was shot, Amal was carrying her favourite toy, a brown bear, which still lay in the ruins yesterday.” – (more…)
Religeous hatred. I’d truly believe in fairy tales if I thought that could be overcome so easily. I’ll leave such people in their ugly, delusional world and include a few beautiful fairy tales in mine.
