ALI SAAD DAOBASA AGDE EIGHTEEN MONTHS

Ali - what can I say about him - he could not even crawl - let alone walk
Could not talk neither - his mum and dad had been looking forward
To all those firsts - burnt to ashes
In little Ali - all their hopes and dreams - invested in their little precious baby Ali Daobasa
They lived on the West Bank - on the West Bank - little Ali died - burnt a live
Burnt to death - by Zionist terrorist
The Zionist - are not true Jews - though they say what they did it for Judaism -
For Isreail - for Their Settlement

Any one who's been privilege like me - to talk - to listen - to a survivor of Auschwitz
Will know the truth of what I write
On my mothers side I'm two part Jewish

Now I am sad of the news of the death of Cyril The Lion -
The the death Ali Saad Daobasa - age eighteen months - I am sadder
The world - is almost totally - silent - on the death of baby Ali Saad Daobasa
I grieve - aye - I grieve - for a child - I never got to know - and now never will

I can never understand how people can put the life of an animal before that of a person. I am an animal lover, but I am also a humanist. When I was younger a relative accused me of being too fond of animals. He said to me "if there was a car crash and there was a dog and a person in the accident, you would save the dog first". It was the most stupid thing I have heard anyone say. I value all life and the loss of a person must outweigh that of an animal. If not then there is something wrong with our species. Nice work Ken.

You have pointed out one of the most odious characteristics of affluent life. People who live comfortably don't give a damn about human beings who are starving or being tortured or burned alive, but, consider a kitten being run over by a truck to be a tragedy.

O my! This is a tragic write and read...I grieve for any creature so brutally and selfishly killed. Here Ken, you have poured out your heart very cleverly. I hope that I don't offend you, (or anyone else,) when I say that I grieve more for the animals of this world, than for the human beings who seem to be just destroying every good thing.
