Israel’s Zaka (Disaster Victims Identification) organization announced Friday that it would place a terrorist-bombed bus outside the International Court of Justice in the Hague. The burned-out bus was the target of a suicide bombing, in which 11 people were murdered in Jerusalem last week. The court will hold hearings on Israel’s security fence on February 23rd, and the organization has received the approval of the Hague municipality to set up the installation. Organization spokesmen told Ynet that the act is not meant to be political, since they are by nature an humanitarian organization; nevertheless, the statement continued, this would certainly be seen as a strong message against terrorism of any sort. "We feel that the world sees terror attacks as just another statistic, and not a human tragedy," they said. Zaka also intends to send a multi-lingual delegation of volunteers: "Only someone who has been exposed to this horror can effectively convey the human aspect of these acts," they said. |
