As a person with Jewish heritage, the media images of the treatment of the bodies of deceased Haitians just sickens me.
Bodies in piles - bulldozers scooping up dead bodies, loading them into dump trucks, just dropping them at a mass grave site on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, just leaving them there, not evening bothering to "bury" them by at least pushing dirt over their bodies ...
It reminds me of pictures from the Holocaust. At least the Nazis covered the shame of their mass graves.
And today - seeing the police TEAR GASING hungry starving people!
It's all just too much ... and I'm not even living it like the Haitians are ...

It's amazing just how much suffering there can be in the world, and it's even more amazing/upsetting how our fellow humans can exaggerate it even more. Ya ALLAH, please help the people of Haiti, and all the people in the world who are suffering in body, mind, and spirit, and relieve them and comfort them, and let them always put their trust in You. Ameen.
I can't even watch it. I've just been making du'a for the people of Haiti. I hope that the "volunteers"
and troops that are there are treating the living and dead with compassion.
