An Unbelievable Sight

We heard that when Egyptians had children they prefer to have a girl where they wouldn’t be called into national service and if it was a boy they’d gouge his eye out or cut part of his hand off so he wouldn’t have to go into the service. We heard that from Egyptians, like you know, that live there. So and we noticed a fair amount of people like that. In Gaza City one time I seen this woman walking down the street, she’s probably 35 or 40 year old, a veil a cross her face and
everything else and full dress and all of that and both her feet had been cut off here. Apparently what she had done, she had stole four or five or six years earlier, stole something and she was running away. So they cut her feet off and she had shoes like almost like horse shoes, and strapped around on top and tied it and she was hobbling down the road like a horse walking, because she had ran. Another one had stole something and they got caught in the act and they cut her hand off at her wrist. That’s what they did to their people, apparently. We’ve heard stories but I seen this one woman like I say with these, looked like horse feet, you know, no toes.
