Tonight I watched most of the Foreign Correspondent story on a suicide bomber, Samer Hammad. I cried and I cried.
I cried for the victims' families and the family of Samer Hammad
I cried thinking of all the other Israeli lives lost to suicide bombings
I cried thinking of all the Palastinian lives lost to Israeli military attacks
I cried from thinking of the desperation that some Palastinians must live in to feel that their only way of demanding security and a home is suicide and the murder of innocents
I cried because, for no apparent reason, some people have to live in places like Janin and go through so much pain in their life whilst other people, for no apparent reason, get to live a comfortable life of luxury here, completely ignorant of what goes on in the rest of the world
