My father and Palestine

I am sure we are all upset about what has been happening in Palestine...the killings on Gaza beach. The image that sticks with me is that of the girl crying over her father's body. It touched me the most, and I almost cried just looking at the anguish in her face. I am very close to my father, and when I saw that picture I knew that my father would be going through a really bad time right now. He is Palestinian, and as I have grown-and by default he has grown-he has become more and more prone to depressions when the news comes on about Palestine. I guess that it is normal, I know that other parents-or people of that generation-feel the same...and go through those feelings also. Bas to see it on my dad effects me the most...obviously...to think that if my dad has stayed in Palestine, that girl could have been me...what must she be feeling today? How does she go on knowing how her father was killed...seeing his dead body? I don't know how I would feel about the whole thing, would I want revenge, would I just mourn like other people do when they lose a parent? Or is the fact that he was killed, that she was next to him when it happened...saw the blood...saw his last violent minutes...make it harder for her to get over it. Wallah I have no idea, but I do know that images like that make me sick to my stomach. I have heard people say that Palestinians vicimize themselves, that we are making the situation harder for ourselves, bas I have no idea how anyone can say that, when we see what happened in Gaza.
