Summary:Awad reflects on the massacre of Palestinian civilians. Herod-like leaders commit atrocities on the civilians of Gaza, leading to the death of more than 5,000 children. World leaders both directly and indirectly lent a hand in the massacre of more than 16,000 men, women and children in Gaza. Herod's massacre of the children did not achieve his desire to destroy the baby born to be the Prince of Peace. Neither will the Israeli massacre of Palestinian children achieve Israel's goal of forever subjugating the Palestinians and denying them the dignity and the freedom that they deserve. Light is more powerful than darkness and life is more powerful than death. The Palestinian people who aspire for freedom will overcome the darkness of today just as baby Jesus overcame the wrath of Herod.
