"First of all, I'm not talking about war
because a war is between two armies.
There is no army in Gaza.
Today, it's a massacre, a slaughter." -Tariq Ramadan
I don't know where to start. What's been happening for the past 66 years can't be summed up in a single post.
Israel has been killing Palestinians long before Hamas even existed! So never believe those who are blaming Hamas constantly for causing the killing. Israel wants no peace whatsoever, and never did. Don't let them fool you with their manipulative ways. I was just watching a TV show about Al Nakba day (Day of the Catastrophe) and I got drastically emotional and overwhelmed by that scene even though it was just a show. Let alone those who actually went through it and had to leave their home land and the place where they spent their whole life in. The same is happening now, imagine some people telling you to leave your house in one minute!! You'd be so shocked at the idea itself and you wouldn't even have time to figure out what has to be done.
My heart flutters with happiness when I see that not only Palestinians are fighting for themselves, but also, many people from all over the world are going out in demonstrations against Israel's cruelty. It makes me wonder that maybe, just maybe, the world is starting to remove their blindfold a little and are finally able to see the truth. I do believe this is a good sign.They can siege our bodies, but they can't siege our souls.
