It's all over the news. Did you hear it? Did you hear what happened in Toulouse? On this day, they killed my people. MY PEOPLE. My rabbi and his children all gunned down for what? Because of their religion? My people endured enough and now this? What is happening to our Toulouse? Why can't there just be peace on Earth?
Today, a shooter had entered a building and killed innocent people. That building was the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse, France. This school is a Jewish school known for their reputation of excellence. It was my own school as a child. The killer known as Mohammed Merah killed three innocent children and one Rabbi. Mohammed wherever you are, you will never hurt anyone again. My rabbi and his children...I am still in disbelief. There is not much left to say except the tears that run down my face and the anger in my heart that speaks volumes for me right now. The pain that I feel is taking over the words that I cannot speak. If only you could feel this too, maybe you would understand and, maybe if you did, there would be no more hatred in the world. For finally, you would walk a mile in someone's shoes and learn to respect your fellow man.
