Dear Editor,
According to The Associated Press, “Hamas gunmen attacked a music festival, killing at least 260 people and abducting others.” CNN headline on October 10th read…’’Israel festival revelers shot at point-blank range, video shows.” Some of the world looked on in shock at scenes of this massacre on a group of young people, who were in the desert to celebrate music. The young lady who once lived in the U.S. and her Mexican born boyfriend is said to have been there to protest against “war” and got as reward at the hands of the very people she was protesting for… Did the marauding rapists care who she was or supporting as they raped her, paraded her nude corpse then beheaded her already dead body? And some are celebrating the depraved inhumanity meted out to innocent Jewish females and kids and are proud to show their support to the perpetrators and I am so ashamed as a female to see that many of them are ladies.
They scream their support from the safety of the West and further attack Jews in the supposedly safety of the West, have they lost their humanity, I wonder? While in Guyana, the politicians especially… seem to have gone blind/ did not see/ chose to ignore the atrocities done to these innocent females; for all they seem concerned with is one set of people as the ‘goat bite man’ puts it: “the Palestinian people have a general expectation to be treated fairly; they are inclined to reasonableness.” How fair and reasonable were those demons who did as Peter Singer described in his article in Project Syndicate (carried in the S.N. last week) which was the only article that I have seen in the Guyana newspapers, ‘’Evil is a word I rarely use, but what I saw was evil in its purest form: men armed with assault rifles going house to house to shoot defenseless and terrified families in their simple kibbutz homes, recording their murders and shouting ‘God is Great.’”
They killed a father in front of his two young children. They cut off the head of one of their victims, saying they will give it to the crowd to play with. We see panicked young people at a music festival shot dead as they try to hide or flee. Singer omitted the accounts that stated that young women were raped and while they were being ravaged, their heads were lobbed off, or shot dead and that others had nails hammered about their bodies. My eyes cannot ‘unsee’ the haunting eyes of Mia Shem as she talked about her ordeal after she was released and the photo of the lifeless nude body of Shani Louk who was paraded in the back of a truck with the dirty feet of her killers on her (as if that was not enough, they beheaded her already dead body).
What has gone wrong with these poor excuses of humans that makes them act like this with females, one wonders? Can anyone in support of them, who have selectively chosen to ignore this level of demonic depravity, explain how they can honestly justify this? Has there been any reports of rape/sexual assault of any Palestinian female since the October assault in the desert? A number of PPP leaders have been very vociferous in their pleading for the cause of these perpetrators. Allow me to go throw up as I write this.
Sincerely,
N. Sahadeo
