This Week In History: 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Durrah is shot to death in his father’s arms by Israeli troops

On September 30, 2000, the second day of the second intifada, the father and son were caught in a cross fire and hid behind a concrete cylinder. For 45 minutes Jamal al-Durrah shielded his son from Israeli fire as several bullets narrowly missed them. He desperately waved and shouted: “Don’t shoot!” but to no avail.

Muhammad al-Durrah was shot four times and eventually slumped across his father’s legs, who was also shot and lost consciousness. 

The boy who was born with scabby burnt out eyes, Hears his mom tell him he’s handsome, but it’s nothing but lies. She shrieked when he was born, and tried to throw him away But the boy followed her home, and since has been able to stay.

With no limbs and no nose, he often angrily feels shorted Every Christmas he asks Santa if he can just be aborted. But each year he wakes up, and wobbles down the stair And doesn’t unwrap the gift of death, because Santa doesn’t care :’-/

His head is misshapened, with the puckered skin of a fish Kids throw coins in his mouth, and then make a wish. To stay cool in the summers, he secretes a radioactive blue ooze And his existence was slammed by the local news.

No matter how bad it gets, he never stops and asks himself “why?” And that’s because he’s a sissy, and the idea makes him cry. The only logical conclusion is that he’s being punished for a past life Where he cut the heads off of orphans, and punched his common-law wife.

So each night he dreams, as his mom locks him back up in his cage That some day he can take advantage of all of this pent up rage. It won’t be with this body, but he’ll make them all come unfurled… He’ll just have to wait till his next life till he can murder the world.
