Stand with the Palestinians?

Dear World,

You cannot claim blindness as I’ve heard you broadcasting the issue on every news station. You speak of the poor pregnant Palestinian woman who died in Gaza, her murdered child and the others. Dear world what are you doing to deliver the Palestinian people from the hands of Hamas? 

There are over a million people captive in the hands of an evil and cruel terrorist group on the west bank of Israel today. What are you doing, World?! Despite the money you keep pouring into their pockets, the Palestinian people live in depraved third world conditions without a proper infrastructure, food options or medical facilities. Civilians are forced to house dangerous explosives in their schools, hospitals, news stations and homes. They are in danger of senseless torture and death, and worst of all they probably live in a constant terrible state of fear.

World, you blame yourself for not doing enough seventy years ago when millions of people were killed in the hands of the Nazis. What are you doing now? You cannot claim lack of awareness, you report about it every day. You condemn Israel, the only nation to have targeted and killed seven Hammas leaders recently. You blame the hundred plus deaths of the Palestinian captives of Hammas on Israel.  

Did you report about the warning pamphlets Israel rained down all over Gaza for days before the attacks, or did you find ways to condemn that too? Did you know Israel warned the people to evacuate? I haven’t heard about that on the news at all. Did you know that Hammas told the people to ignore the warnings and stay?! It is very clear with whom the responsibility lies for all the senseless deaths, and yet you interrogate Israel as if they walked down the streets of Gaza and murdered over one hundred innocent people in cold blood without any provocation whatsoever.  

Dear world, every now and again I hear you whine and complain and bemoan the deaths of the Palestinians. What are you doing about it? There is an evil group of terrorists ruining the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for more than three generations. What are you doing to change that?  

You don’t care that Hammas is raining rockets all over Israel. I Got that. You’ve made yourself clear. You don’t care that thousands of Israeli children and Moms and Dads are in mortal danger. You don't seem to care that a rocket killed three Israelis, among them a pregnant woman and injuring her eight month old baby. I got that. You don’t care that buses get blown up for no reason, that rockets fall endlessly,and that rocks thrown by Arab youths are responsible for killings of innocent babies and children. Ar you aware that as soon as two minutes after a ceasefire agreed upon by Israel in response to Piller of Defence attempt in 2012 Hammas violated it and kept shooting more missiles into Israel?

You might not know that the “light injuries” reported in the news mean not scrapes and bruises but loss of arms, legs and faces. You might not be aware that thousands of Israelis children are living with fears greater than their little bodies can handle, granted. We get it. We understand we do not have your sympathy.  Maybe it is our fault. Maybe there is a lack of awareness because we are too busy fighting for life to keep clambering for your attention. What about the poor Palestinians though? Are you going to do nothing to save them?

If you do nothing to save them from the evil reign of Hamas on a regular Tuesday, please stop whimpering when unavoidably and with our deepest regrets some innocent men, women and children get killed as collateral damage when we take down Hammas on Wednesday. We wish Hammas would stop seeking shelter among them so that these precious lives remain intact, but unfortunately the terrorist group refuses to give up their human shields. They prefer to bring about these senseless deaths to their own people. 

When you condemn Israel's attempts at self defense, not only are you hurting Israeli citizens but also the thousands of Palestinians that in Israel alone enjoy equal rights and privileges. When they get wounded, do you know which hospitals welcome and aid them? Yup, they prefer the Israeli medical care over their own and we treat them indiscriminately

To stand on the side while rockets fall on Israel, and step in to condemn when rockets fall on Gaza is a tempting knee jerk reaction to emotional, often times staged images generated by terrorist propaganda media.  Please become informed. Don't allow yourself to be used as the political human shield that stands in the way of ending world terror.

You say there is one side to this story, World. One side, not Israeli, not Palestinian but Human. If you have the time and concern, please come to the aid of humanity. Otherwise, please recognize the complexity of the situation and stay out of the way.

 Thank you, World.
