If it's true what I have read on Daily News about Charlie Hebdo's cartoonist Willem ,then I think his statement is very unfortunate.Daily News reported that Bernard (Willem)Holtrop told the Dutch daily Volkskrant that ''we vomit on all these people who suddenly say they are our friends''.This is strong language coming from a cartoonist,don't you think,especially since he wasn't even in the meeting on the Wednesday massacre when eight of his colleagues were killed,including Charb,the editor.
Sure he is in mourning,but then the world is at liberty to react to that barbarous act perpetrated against Charlie Hebdo and indeed France and Europe. I have written a poem about the incident because that was my freedom to do so ,just as Willem is free to express his feelings.We must learn to respect each other even though we differ.I condemn these killings because they are senseless and heinous,but I do not think I would want to ''vomit'' on the perpetrators.
