داستان هدی
Pictures of Hoda’s targedy have been beamed around the world. Her frantic screams, her running to the body of her father, her calling out his name as she writhed on the sand, all, have dominated the Arabic and international media ever since
هدی تبدیل به آخرین سمبل رنج مردم فلسطین شده. چند خبرنگار abc برای تهیه ی خبر اونجا رفتن . یک خیمه ی عزاداری برپا شده بود که با پرچم های سبز حماس آراسته شده بود
We arrived outside her simple home in Gaza. A large mourning tent had been set up outside. It was festooned with the green flags of Hamas. The organisation paid for the tent, and for food for the three days of mourning. The whole neighbourhood had turned out to show their respects to the dead
بعد هدی و عموش سر رسیدن.اون ها از یک کنفرانس مطبوعاتی که توسط وزارت اطلاعات فلسطین ترتیب داده شده بود برگشته بودند.
Hoda had shared the platform with the local cameraman who had filmed her tragedy. Someone had even seen fit to replay the video of the incident. Hardly what this devastated little girl needs, you might think
۲۴ ساعت بعد از حادثه هدی به ملاقات محمود عباس فراخوانده شد.president محمود عباس به هدی پیشنهاد فرزند خواندگی داد:
She was hugged and kissed by the president, who offered to adopt her
عوامل abc گویا از اینکه سیاستمدارها خودشون رو با مخمصه ای که هدی گرفتارشه قاطی کنن ناراضی اند:
The process has started. Her tragedy is being quickly exploited by the politicians. All of them, rushing to associate themselves with her plight
"بعد با هدی سلام کردیم و او خیلی بی رمق جواب داد". عموش ما رو به انتهای راهرویی در خانه اش راهنمایی کرد. باغی بود. واحه ای از علف های سبز و گل های سرخ. بهشتی زیبا در دل غزه ی مملو از آشوب و هرج و مرج:
Her expression was blank. Her uncle ushered us down the narrow passage alongside her house, into the little garden created by her father. It is an oasis of green grass and bright red flowers,. a beautiful haven from the densely packed and dusty chaos that is Gaza
از او پرسیدم آیا باغبانی رو دوست داره؟!! جوابش مثبت بود چراکه نگهداری از باغ مثل تکریم یاد پدرشه:
In a soft, faltering voice she told me that she did. She now wants to take care of her dead father’s garden, a kind of tribute to his memory
وقتی ماجرا رو ازش پرسیدم بنظر میومد از مجروحانی که بوسیله ی گلوله ی انفجاری صدمه دیدند آزرده شده. دقیقا جزئیات بلائی که سر اعضای خانوادش اومد رو برام ترسیم کرد.....:
When I asked her what happened she seemed obsessed with the nature of the injuries inflicted by the shrapnel. In graphic detail she listed exactly what had happened to the bodies of her loved ones. I was shocked. Her blank expression and these dreadful details. After that she seemed to run out of steam. Her words stopped flowing. “How do you feel?” I asked. “Sad” she replied. “Do you believe the Israelis when they say it was a mistake?” I persisted. “No” she said looking down at the grass
زیاد گیر ندادم. دلش میخواست برای دیدن مادرش به بیمارستان بره. .....
اینکه بچه هایی که قربانی این کشمکش ها میشن به نماد مبارزه ی فلسطینی ها تبدیل میشن انگار بعضی ها رو آزار میده!!! راوی میگه یه تاکسی در عمان کرایه کردم که روی شیشه اش عکس محمد الدوره - کودکی که در کنار پدرش دولا شده بود و با گلوله های اسرائیلی ها به شهادت رسید - نصب شده بود. این آقای بی شعور از این کودک بعنوان رسواترین مثال نام میبره !:
It has happened before in Palestine. The child victims of the conflict with Israel have been turned into icons of the Palestinian struggle. Mohammed Al Dura, the little boy shot by Israeli soldiers while cowering with is father in 2000, is the most notorious example. Images of his death became the signature of the early years of the Intifada. His picture was reproduced on a thousand posters, and spread across the Arab world
بعدش هم گلایه منده که چرا تصاویرزار زدن هدی مرتبا از تلویزیون فلسطین پخش میشه .عکس هاش مرتب در روزنامه های عرب زبان درج میشه!!!
Meanwhile Hoda is still in shock. Still staring blankly out at the world she no longer understands
A well known child psychologist in Gaza told me that to lose a parent in such a way and to witness it, is something that Hoda will never recover from. It will haunt the rest of her life. She needs urgent medical help and professional counselling
From what I saw yesterday, I’m not sure she is gong to get it
(get it: Understand, usually after some initial difficulty)
