‎‏حتّى فى بطن الحُوت كَان هـُناك أمل

Even in the belly of the whale there was hope.

إِن يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْرًا

If Allah knows there is anything good in your hearts,

يُؤْتِكُمْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّا أُخِذَ مِنكُمْ

He will give you better than that which has been taken away from you,

وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

And He will forgive you. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

— Surah Al-Anfal [8:70]

Never forget the gang-rape of 14-year old Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi on March 12, 2006 in Iraq by five US Army soldiers who then shot her in the head and set her body on fire. Never forget that they first murdered her mother Fakhriyah Taha Muhsin, father Qasim Hamza Raheem, and younger sister Hadeel Qasim Hamza.

Of the perpetrators, Steven Green said, “I didn’t think of Iraqis as humans.” James Barker took a plea deal and immediately after, smoked a cigarette and grinned as reporters passed by.

May Abeer and her family rest in peace while the monsters who did this and allowed it to happen suffer for eternity.

Never forget what western imperialism does to countries it claims to help by sending rapists, pedophiles, and murderers to the doorsteps of innocent people [x].

Throughout the years of the Intifada, when women saw a young man captured by Israeli soldiers, they would attack the soldiers, all of them crying and screaming: “My son, my son – leave my son alone.” On this occasion the soldier, dragging the young man away, shouts: “Go, you liar. How many mothers for one boy! A hundred mothers for one boy. Get away from here, go!” She screams at him: “Yes! We’re like that. A boy here has a hundred mothers, not like your kids, every boy has a hundred fathers!

“After they shot us, we were all down on the ground, and they were going back and forth, and they were saying: ‘If any of you are still alive, we’ll have mercy and pity and take them to the hospital. Come on, you can tell us.’ If anyone moaned, or believed them and said they needed an ambulance, they would be rescued with shots and finished off there and then…What really disturbed me wasn’t just the death all around me. I…didn’t know whether my mother and sisters and brother had died. I knew most of the people around me had died. And it’s true I was afraid of dying myself. But what disturbed me so very much was that they were laughing, getting drunk and enjoying themselves all night long. They threw blankets on us and left us there till morning. All night long I could hear the voices of the girls crying and screaming, ‘For god’s sake, leave us alone.’ I mean…I can’t remember how many girls they raped. The girls’ voice, with their fear and pain, I can’t ever forget them.”- Munir Mohammad recalling the events of 18 September, 1982 at Abu Yassir shelter in Shatila Palestinian refugee camp.

Quick Sabra and Shatila Massacre Facts:

I should note that some of this is very gruesome and can be triggering to read:

Sabra and Shatila were Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon

President-elect of Lebanon Bachir Gamayel was assassinated shortly after winning the election

Israeli forces told his party [The Phalange Party] that Palestinians were responsible for the assassination [which was a blatant lie to stir conflict]

The Phalange party is a Lebanese Ultra-nationalist party composed primarily of Christians

Israeli forces surrounded the camps, set up checkpoints, and barred any Palestinians from leaving for any reason.

Israeli forces took over the ten-story high Kuwaiti embassy that overlooked the entire camp

Israeli forces allowed Phalangist militants to enter the camp and provided flares throughout the night to keep the camp lit for them, as they proceeded for two whole days to slaughter Palestinians indiscriminately

Homes were bombed with people still inside, families were executed in the streets, people were butchered, all while Israeli forces overlooked the massacre and continued to bar any Palestinians from leaving or foreign forces from entering.

The lowest estimates put the number of Palestinians massacred at 762, while other estimates range from 2000-3500.

The Phalangists began attempting to cover up the massacre by hiding or burning the bodies, but several journalists managed to sneak into the camp

These journalists described witnessing severely mutilated bodies, young boys had been castrated, people had been scalped, and many had the Christian cross carved into their bodies

Dead women were found in their homes with their skirts and dresses hitched up and legs spread apart, in some cases even broken and disfigured, with clear evidence of numerous rapes having taken place, during or after-which the women were killed

“I saw dead women in their houses with their skirts up to their waists and their legs spread apart; dozens of young men shot after being lined up against an alley wall; children with their throats slit, a pregnant woman with her stomach chopped open, her eyes still wide open, her blackened face silently screaming in horror; countless babies and toddlers who had been stabbed or ripped apart and who had been thrown into garbage piles.” –American Journalist Janet Stevens

Israeli Defense Minister Ariel Sharon found guilty of bearing responsibility for allowing the massacre to happen, and was forced to resign

Ariel Sharon eventually went on to become Prime Minister of Israel

Ariel Sharon has a history of slaughtering and massacring Palestinian refugees, and routinely killed those sleeping in their huts in the last 40’s and early 50’s

Several days after the assassination, Habib Shartouni, a Lebanese Nationalist and Maronite Christian confessed to having carried out the assassination.

The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon, between September 16 and September 18, 1982, during the Lebanese civil war.

Palestinian and Lebanese civilians were massacred in the camps by the Israeli supporters Phalangist militia while the camp was surrounded by Israeli forces.

In that period of time, Israel was at war with Lebanon. The Israeli forces occupied Beirut and dominated militarily the refugee camps of Palestinians and controlled the entrance to the city. Later, the Israeli forces were ruled to have been involved directly in massacres carried out in both camps.
