As the frail body of 12-year-old Nassir Al-Mosabeh fell to the ground on Friday, Sept. 28, history was repeating itself in a most tragic way.
Little Nassir was not just another number, a "martyr" to be exalted by equally poor refugees in Gaza, or vilified by Israel and its tireless hasbara machine. He was much more than that.
The stream of blood that poured out from his head wound on that terrible afternoon drew a line in time that traveled back 18 years.
Almost 18 years to-the-day separates Nassir's recent murder and the Israeli army killing of Mohammed Al-Durrah, also 12, on Sept. 30, 2000. Between these dates, hundreds of Palestinian children have perished in similar ways.
