The Iconic Banner
Compassion Through Their Own Wounds
“Boston bombings represent a sorrowful scene of what happens everyday in Syria. Do accept our condolences.”
On 19 April 2013, even as Kafranbel lived under bombardment, its people raised a banner offering condolences to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings — a humanity that reached beyond their own wounds and spoke to the world with words, not weapons.
