It isn't the best show of all time, but it certainly is well done.
Last night's episode had a VERY powerful soliloquy that speaks to the utter horror of suicide, and I wanted to share it
A character speaks about a time he was driving up to a restaurant in Tel Aviv:
"A 20-year-old
Palestinian named Ghazi Safar entered the restaurant and detonated a vest wired
with C4. The shock wave knocked me flat,
blew out my eardrums. I couldn't hear. The smoke... It was like being underwater. I
went inside. A nightmare. Blood. Parts of people. You could tell where Safar was standing when
the vest blew. It was like a perfect
circle of death. There was almost
nothing left of the people closest to him. 17 dead, 46 injured. Blown to pieces. The closer they were to the bomber, the more
horrific the effect.
That's every suicide. Every single one. An act of terror perpetrated against everyone
who's ever known you... Everyone who's ever loved you. The people closest to you... the ones who
cherish you... are the ones who suffer the most pain, the most damage. Why would you do that? Why would you do that to people who love you?"
