Mi nombre es Shiri Negari. Me hubiera gustado ir a la Universidad de Columbia pero fuí asesinada por Hamas, con el dinero de Iran

Shiri Negari, fue asesinada por los palestinos, cuando viajaba en un bus en Jerusalen el 18, de Junio del 2002. El terrorista de Hamas, estaba financiado por el gobierno de Iran, cuyo presidente pudo hacer lo que se le impidió a Shiri, hablar en Columbia.

“I am a family member of Shiri Negari – the 22 year old woman who was murdered, 5 years ago in a suicide bombing in Israel by a Palestinian terror organization. As you know, Shiri’s picture was presented by a demonstrator during Iran’s president to the US,outside Columbia university which you have covered in your blog. Thanks to your blog, many people have visited Shiri’s memorial web site, got to know her special character and sent us kind e-mails saying that they care. I wish to thank you for giving a stage to the memory of our Shiri, and let you know that even if you did it unknowingly, you contributed to making her memory alive which is something very important for us – making sure she is not just another statistic in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

Del Washington Times

Why has Shiri’s death affected so many people? Edgar Allen Poe once explained:

“Of all melancholy topics, what, according to the universal understanding of mankind, is the most melancholy?”
Death was the obvious reply.
“And when,” I asked, “is this most melancholy topic most poetical?”
From what I have already explained at some length, the answer, here also, is obvious — “When it most closely allies itself to Beauty: the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world …”
