Ini
foto-foto anak-anak Palestina yang masih terisa dan selamat dari pemboman
brutal tentara Israel. Walaupun mulai bisa ke sekolah lagi, tetapi mereka
memendam pedih dan luka: banyak orang tua dan teman yang hilang, tak lagi
bersama mereka. Lebih pedih lagi adalah suasana dan alam lingkungan mereka
sebagai anak-anak yang harus tumbuh normal dan bermain, hilang dan musnah
dilenyapkan oleh kebiadaban serangan tentara Isreal. Mereka tidak mengerti
mengapa mereka yang masih anak-anak yang harus jadi korban. Mereka tidak
mengerti mengapa dunia mereka harus terganggu, dirusak dan hilang. Mereka tidak
mengerti mengapa dunia memaksa mereka untuk tumbuh tidak normal sebagai
anak-anak …
Optimisme masih ada dan mereka membutuhkan pelukan
hangat, kasih sayang tulus dan kedamaian tatapan mata Anda. Selamat
menatapi wajah-wajah bening, semoga mendekatkan hati Anda pada mereka yang
telah banyak kehilangan…
