Gaza Children Didn't Break Guinness World Record in Flying Kites!

On the 30 of July 2009, 3,000 kites were seen soaring Gaza's sky breaking Guinness World Record in Flying Kites. This event took place just after 7 months of Israel’s attack on Gaza leaving 320 children dead and scores injured or maimed for the rest of their lives. Many thousands have lost their loved ones.

1.5 million Palestinian kids carry heavily the emotional and physical scars associated with death, killing, arrests, humiliation, spread of the terror acts, destruction of homes and schools, military incursions, movement restrictions, and poverty.

Gaza children did not break Guinness world record in flying kites; they broke Guinness world record in pleading for their Human Rights.

Kids gazing to the sky; kites soaring the sky; symbols and messages sent to the whole world requesting one thing: the right to LIVE in freedom, security and dignity.

What an example of Sumud (steadfastness)!
