This is maybe the saddest photo I have ever seen. This little boy, hand raised, "I'm here." An Israeli bomb blew him out of the wreck of his apartment onto the rooftop rubble of a nearby building. A corpse lies a few feet behind him. In a different area on the roof, visible in the video from which this still was taken, are the mangled remains of a girl.
Nobody outside of Gaza in a position to do anything to help this boy, as well as the hundreds of thousands of other miserable Palestinians, will lift a finger.
I can't do anything, other than donate a few dollars out of my meager living to the PCRF.
Of course there are probably sadder, more horrible scenes we never see. Scores of them. Every day. And the planet keeps spinning. The price of eggs in the US drops 87% every day.
I can only pray God sees the boy with the raised hand.
