A “temporary memorial” has been created in memory of the children killed by the war in Gaza on Bombay Beach in California, US. Behn Samareh, the artist behind the project, aims to drill a hole for every child killed and has said he will continue as long as the war goes on.

The unjust loss of so many children is indeed incomprehensible. What has happened to humanity that the killing still continues despite the outrage of millions. Thank you Behn Samareh for creating this memorial making the number of children killed visual and so much more poignant. STOP THE KILLING. FREE PALESTINE.🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

That’s beautiful. That’s also called “Sadqa Jariya” everlasting charity. When someone passes away if you do a good deed which is everlasting it brings god deeds to the deceased. Such as planting a fruit tree, every time a bird/animal/insect eats the fruit the good deeds will go to the deceased person whose memory it is in.

@@scarlettkhan9667 the land belongs to the state of CA (IID) this project is renegade. the area is designated for "dust mitigation" which involves planting native plants, but usually driven by function and not aesthetics. they just need to cover a certain square footage and for cheapest possible price. I am in touch with the folks in charge to see if this can perhaps influence the design. this thought was there from the onset but in no way guaranteed nor necessary to the message and concept of the work. But it would be fantastic to make it a loner lasting Sadqa Jariya.

Another way of looking at it is that, currently, 3.7% of a nation or region’s children are missing or no longer alive due to war. In the USA that would amount to 2.7 million children missing or no longer alive in the space of 8 months. But my maths isn’t particularly good any corrections welcome.

2:50 They were temporary, their existence on this earth was temporary. This is a good time to reflect. Those reading these comments and still have a heart that beats, lungs that pump involuntarily, ask your self, what is my prupose in life? The answer is in the Quran. Worship God alone. Read the book before its too late. All those children that died in Gaza, they are already succesful and will be granted paradise as they eere too young to be held accountable for any sins. May we be able to meet them one day. Ameen. Now you say Ameen
