We sat watching a very interesting movie ‘Waltz with Bashir’, it was a commendable work of animation based on the true massacre of Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon in the year 1982. The walk through of the movie kept us rooted with pure concentration.
I do remember how in that year, people were rallying in the capital city to stop the brutality of the massacre; a lot of money was donated through companies, individuals and also concert performances. The news that the young people were brutally decapitated and slaughtered, was just too much for the ears, yet when watching Waltz with Bashir, gathering how well planned the massacre was was so chilling.
While all the men were killed brutally, the women and innocent children were not spared, hearing the screams of the women and the cries of the children when being shot was heart wrenching. Life is more than just cheap, life means nothing at all.
Tonight I decided to burn a candle, I know I may be years behind into the real thing, but watching Waltz with Bashir just ripped open the wounds that have yet to heal.
May all the victims of the massacre of Sabra and Shatila rest in peace, knowing that our thoughts never ever leave you.
I will continue burning candles for you, till justice surfaces.
