This is more like it mary….
Yes, good one, Mary.
Is the blood forming an Arabic character?
Dan, it does look that way, but since I don't read Arabic, I have no way to tell you what it is! A friend from an Arab country sent it to me, but he didn't specify. I hope some of the Arabic readers here will be able to enlighten us all!
Boycott Israeli goods. It worked against South Africa. In Ireland nobody buys israeli goods.
Yes. The blood reads in Arabic the word "Qaanaa".
The Arabic letters read قانا as Sarabdeeiyy says — Qana is a village in Southern Lebanon that has been attacked twice of international note by the Isreali Defense Force. See the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qana
@Afra Al-Mussawir – Here's more info on an IDF bombing of Qana on youtube; it's a segment of a CNN broadcast from 2007.
