As an addition to Mirjam's very emotional note, I thought some of you might
be interested in reading the following very sad newsletter. This information comes directly from the Hadassah Medical Organization Hospital in Jerusalem, Israel. THE HUNDRED-AND-FIRST PALESTINIAN SUICIDE BOMBING It was the 101st Palestinian suicide bombing in the 35 months of violence in Israel, and the too-well-practiced emergency teams were immediately in action. But there was a different feeling about this latest atrocity, at least in the Hadassah Medical Center, which took in more than half of the 100-plus injured. For the first time, pediatricians and pediatric surgeons dominated the Emergency and Trauma Units, with casualty after incoming casualty turning out to be children, toddlers, infants. Stoic veterans of the aftermath of terror, Hadassah doctors, nurses and social workers alike were stricken by the youth of their patients. The frantic relatives, who always converge on the hospital after an attack desperate for information about the missing, were absent, the bomber having blasted entire families with his lethal payload of explosives, bolts and nails. New questions faced medical teams who have unhappily seen it all these past three years. A nurse rushed a baby weighing-scales down the corridor, so doctors could gauge the ages of unidentified infants. What about the hepatitis B vaccination routinely administered to bleeding victims: should it be given to infants, as well? And, as time went on, were the children the doctors were fighting to save destined to live as orphans? A two-and-a-half-year-old girl admitted at 9.39 p.m. lay unclaimed hour after hour, unconscious and unclaimed. The heads of seven doctors and nurses clustered round a baby boy, probably a month old, turned every time anyone walked past, hoping someone had come to claim and comfort him. Neighbors from the close-knit Har Nof community, where most of the victims lived, trickled into the hospital. They had doubtless attended the little boy's brit mila, they said, but none of them could identify him, he was too young. As he was taken off to CT, his bloodied clothes were collected into a bag. The neighbors would take the tragic bag to bus victims in Jerusalem's other three hospitals. Perhaps someone there would know who he was. CT scanning showed the baby's pelvis had been fractured, his ear drum pierced and his chest and abdomen blast-injured - and that he had been born with a single kidney. And then news reached the Ein Kerem team of a couple and three children hospitalized elsewhere in Jerusalem. They had been on the bus, returning home from the Western Wall, with their five youngsters. The mother had been nursing her month-old baby boy when the explosion blasted him out of her arms. She was certain he was dead. And, oh yes, the child had been born with only one kidney. At 1.45 a.m., the unclaimed baby at Ein Kerem was identified as Elhanan Niria Cohen. The unconscious two-and-a-half-year-old girl was his sister Shira. Doctors who had long since stabilized the bus victims but had been unwilling to leave the hospital until the baby had a name, packed up and went home. And the neighbors were excused the task of showing bloodied children's clothing to shocked and injured parents. Fourteen hours after the blast, the baby and his mother, Ora, are doing well. His father and siblings remain critical. Thirty-three victims of last night's bomber were taken to Hadassah's Mount Scopus hospital, and 30 to Ein Kerem. As well as a larger proportion than ever before of young victims, there were also five who were unidentified for many hours. Midwives Nava Braverman and Michal Liebergall of the Family Information Center set up following terror attacks, worked through the night to provide names for the injured. In addition to the two Cohen children, three other victims lay unclaimed for several hours. With one, a little girl of eight, heart-shaped earrings with a blue stone in the center of each unlocked her identity. With a second, a middle-aged woman, orthopedic surgeon Prof. Meir Liebergall thought he recognized his own work in a healed fracture of her knee. Two different families were searching for a woman in middle years, but the X-rays of her earlier surgery clinched her identity "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ...

Because I don't discuss or mourn the senseless waste of human (and other) life here, doesn't mean that I do not care about such things. I simply do not feel that mourning, kvetching, or pointing fingers has a place on this newsgroup. I go elsewhere for that. Still working with a lovely hand-dyed varigated cotton floss in two shades on lavendar Fossil Fern cotton for a wall hanging for someone. It's coming along rather lovely, I think, despite a lack of attention to it. I'll probably add a sprinkling of clear crystal beads for reflecting rays of hope to it. And it should be finished at the NY meetup tomorrow. =) I'm also going to try to find a metalic piece or two that I've done and bring to show off. -georg |

My thought on these things are where they always are---not on this newgroup, but in my prayers (which, since I am one of the writers for my congregation, are often also public prayers). I pray, because that has meaning for me. Some people post, some people think about things inwardly, some go and read the news and learn more. We do not all do things the same way. Dawne |

Well Dawne so you say a prayer and i do not think lightly of it ,
but will a prayer stop all this ? i thank you for the prayers , but my experience of several generations told me prayers are not enough , we have to condemm the deeds , and sometimes smack back, Every day as a young guard checks my bag in the door of every mall , as another guard walks in a bus and checks it for me i thank them with all my heart and wish them a 'Boring day" . And the sad thing Dawne ! is that this murderes are carried in the name of a religion ,,, that is so horrid , so anti any idea we all want to have about a religion , The last terrorist was a religious teacher .....and it is so sad. mirjam O |

Maybe someday the hearts and minds of people everywhere will be turned from hatred to love. Maybe if enough people say enough killing, it can stop. Ireland seemed finally, after many bloodsoaked years, to reach that point, despite long history and religious difference, but the path to that point was tortuous. i thank you for the prayers , but my experience of several generations told me prayers are not enough , Neither, with respect, is posting to a newsgroup. If one wants to write, perhaps one should write to one's political leaders--but then again, someone could answer me that people have done that for years too. How many peace vigils, how many candlelight marches, how many letters to the editor will change the world.......just like how many prayers. But any of these is better than bullets. Do we stop then because one so rarely sees results from them?? sometimes smack back, An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind, as Gandhi said. Canadians, to a fair extent, do not get involved, as a country , in "smacking back", but have always been willing to stand between the combattants. Two of the fine people killed in the bombing in Bagdad were Canadians, one working with UNICEF, one with the Christian Children's Fund. But each nation must determine how it will stand against evil in the world, and what Canada does is what it does, and what Israel does is what its people feel it must do. Every day as a young guard checks my bag in the door of every mall , as another guard walks in a bus and checks it for me i thank them with all my heart and wish them a 'Boring day" . I would join you in those wishes. All security guards, all peacekeeping battallions, all bomb squads, may they have many long and boring days. And the sad thing Dawne ! is that this murderes are carried in the name of a religion ,,, that is so horrid , so anti any idea we all want to have about a religion , The last terrorist was a religious teacher ......and it is so sad. Sad indeed. And there is no religion on earth that hasn't been tarnished by some fool or another doing evil in its name. Which makes it incumbent on the rest of us to do good. Dawne |

I have 2 questions--I know they are dumb but I just have to ask?
1. Why are there more jews in NYC than in Israel? 2. Why can't we just leave them alone and let Israel defend themselves how they see fit? They did fine the last time.

According to a quick Google search, the population of Israel is 6.5 million. The Jewish population of the United States is 5.5 million. The Jewish population of New York City is, for the first time in many years, less than one million. Dawne |
