While I was in the hospital earlier this week, awaiting the entry of my fourth child into this world , Michelle Malkin – as well as a host of others – were paying tribute to someone else’s child, who was cruelly taken from this world.
I am referring to Shiri Negari, who was murdered by a palestinian suicide bomber in 2002.
It all started after Michelle posted the picture on the right, taken by a protestor standing outside the gates of Columbia University. As Michelle subsequently noted, it “resonated deeply with many readers and bloggers” so she followed it up with more tributes for Shiri, including this video:
While you are watching this heartbreaking tribute, and are no doubt captivated by Shiri’s beauty (inside and outside), note the dignity of Shiri’s family. No calls for revenge, but rather a hope to continue Shiri’s legacy of helping people.
Now I certainly don’t enjoy the traffic of Michelle Malkin’s blog, but I know I have many readers who either don’t read her blog or have not necessarily “chosen a side” in the Middle East conflict. It is mainly for you that I am posting this.
Shiri’s story is just one of (unfortunately) many. Help us prevent many more such stories in the future by supporting Israel’s battle against terrorism, and not rewarding the palestinians for committing such despicable acts.
