Israeli Terrorism

Above and Beyond

this is ali daqdouq .. ali is barely six years old .. a few days ago he was killed by an israeli cluster bomb in southern lebanon .. When Ali Daqdouq returned home after school, in his Southern village of Sultaniyyeh, he was so excited about the adventures of his first day of school this year that he could barely catch his breath while telling his mother about them. He threw his old school bag aside and took off his used school uniform. He had his lunch and went to his neighbor and friend, Amal, to play videogames, just as he used to do in the afternoons of the summer break. Little did the six-year-old Ali know that this would be his first and last day of school. Little did he know that he would not make it to the date with Amal. One of the couple of millions unexploded cluster bomblets, the ones Bush and Rice supplied to Israel and the IDF in turn salted the South with during the summer of 2006, took Ali’s life.
