Bleeding Gaza

Check Photo by Majdi Fathi

What to say and talk about Gaza. A lot is written and talked about burning gaza. I believe, this is the time for action. 


We can see Gaza strip in this link;  https://goo.gl/maps/kUatt .

 

We see a lot of pictures of injured bleeding till death on internet. This biggest jail in the world is burning by air strikes. Jews are killing un armed, innocent people of Gaza. We hear screams of children and women every day. This breaks my heart. We see blood falling on ground, is it that cheap? I was wondering why Israel is  afraid of this innocent Muslim population that, it is working on an agenda to destroy them. Does Israel only need piece of land without it’s people? Or testing its equipment on these unarmed civilians  or making use of those missiles or rockets that are about to expire soon?  Or want to take bath in river of Blood? 

 

 Do you have any answer?

 

I do not think so. I believe any briefing from anywhere will raise more questions in minds.

This world has double standards, UNO is silent , all have closed their eyes,  ears and pretend as if  do not see or hear anything. There is no hope in this whole world for people of Gaza , no one is standing with them. They are alone, they have to face this genocide without any support from outside world. What can be expected from rest of the world when the Muslim rulers are quiet and are not taking any initiative to help the unarmed people of Gaza. I wonder who will break the ice and will say “ STOP” but I feel no one can and no one will.
                                                                ..… SIGH….
We Muslims have been divided in sunni , shai , shafi etc. sects and are happy if our brothers from other sect are brutally killed , we do not look towards the bloodshed. We have forgotten the message of God and his messenger  Prophet Muhammad (P. B.U.H) who has advised us for tolerance , respect and peace and asked to help brothers , if they are in trouble. We must know what Holy Quran tells us about this situation , but alas we do not have time to open our holy book , but happy to see and share every update on Facebook.

When I see pictures of innocent children who are killed or severely injured by Israel army , all of sudden the picture of my own kid appear in front of my eyes and my heart breaks and I start trembling just with a thought if this happen to my kid . What I will do then???  There are many parents in the world like me and I appeal to them , please come forward and raise a voice as this can come to our door steps , if we will spare culprits like this. They will be stronger with passage of every single day  to crush more with their deadly weapons and cunning moves.

I question myself many times , what can we do in our capacity to stop this genocide and brutal attacks by Israeli army to save innocent children, women and brothers of Gaza ?  May be we can be helpful by confronting Israel’s constant mistreatment and violence of Palestinian human and political rights. When I see that in return of heavy shelling and bombing young hurl stones.….I think how they can fight with stones and bricks but this act makes it clear that their strength, courage and elegance will not perish.  They are brave to stand and fight empty handed, they know their birth right and their efforts  will bring a new day for them . They know that their attempts cannot stop ongoing abuse , but they do not want to lose hope.

No one knows what Israel wants to show by taking hold of 360  km² area? What it will do by killing unarmed , innocent population of 1.8 million? Cease fire of few hours will make no difference . We see on our TV screens  many laser guided Missiles and bombs target Schools, masjids, hospitals and residential buildings, turning them to ashes and smoke, killing masses and people that move in streets cover their eyes and ear just to lower the intensity of dust, smoke and blast.  Seems people are shocked and the thunder of these missiles have paralyzed the people of the world and they cannot help as they are helpless themselves.  Palestinian are living on edge of life and death , unaware of the fact which bomb will be fired to hit them.  People are sheltering in schools and have very small quantity of food and safe water for drinking.

Where is UN , why it cannot stop violence?  What Israel wants to show by displaying this aggression?? This is not about any particular religion it is about the humanity. I wish someday someone will come to help and violently intercept Israeli army. I hope that all allies of Israel will mount pressure to ceasefire and negotiate.
I have recently read a post on reason for conflict between Palestine and Israel over Gaza , you can check here; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/11006125/Gaza-explained-Why-Israel-and-Palestinians-are-in-constant-conflict-over-Gaza.html . 

Israel have fired more than 2800 rockets on Gaza in last month. What type of revenge Israeli army is taking from people that death toll have put on thousands and they have kidnapped many kids and women.  We see thousands of people with corpses, protesting against this brutal act and call upon world to put pressure on Israel to stop this massacre. If this would have been some other country killing innocent Christians or Jews , UN must have imposed sanctions. This silence of UN is not understandable and totally unacceptable. Apart from helping in stopping this massacre,  supplements of arms and explosives are being sent to Israel for more destruction in Palestinian under nose of UN and it is blind. Gaza is standing against war from many years but still not discouraged or broken. I believe we must SUPPORT Palestine.  

I deem it necessary to support these traumatized refugees of Gaza  with  peaceful negotiations.  All of us know that every single unarmed and innocent person of Gaza will continue to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza till death. I feel that they need our help  to create some difference, we must stand with them in this hard time by participating and supporting different initiatives to break the blockade of Gaza. We should condemn massacre of inhabitants of Gaza.

World must stand to curb violence with those who are struggling to survive and bring PEACE in GAZA. Alas these atrocities are happening while the world is watching deaths and listening to screams of brothers and mourns of mothers. This will only give way to intolerance , terror and fear among generations. There is critical need of time that think tanks of World come close and define rules and regulations and make such policies that no one can violate and harm other nations.
                                                                                                                     Got this photo from Facebook.
GIVE WAR A REAL CHANGE.

We are ignorant of  the fact that this monster has reached our door steps and will be knocking may be breaking our doors soon. 

 There are so many photos of Gaza blood shed and massacre on internet but I am not that brave enough to even see or share them. I am confident, I am not only one like that, I wonder if some can not see it how other can do this to humanity!!!!!! Its not about religion, its about humanity and blood have same color... I guess..... :'( .There must be immediate end of this Gaza blockade. There are millions around the world who support Palestine I appeal to all of them to boycott Israel and boycott each of its brand and never see again.

The after effects of war are coming in this way.
As the Ice Bucket challenge to aware people about ALS is spreading around the world , here is one from Palestine.

Refugees of Gaza need shelter , food , water , medicine , fuel and many other basic necessities of life. This effort is daunting. Different organizations are striving to provide shelter, food  etc. for desperate  refugees. Their efforts cannot continue without our help and support. We can donate for these vulnerable refugees in Gaza and help UNICEF through Link of This website .

  1. Heart-rending. Horrible. Heinous. Inhumane. I buy nothing from Israel, but that is not a big deal as there is little from Israel available where I live. Pray, yes. Tell others, yes. What else?

    1. Hello Ramona
      Thank you for your visit. This is very nice that you have boycott with Israeli products. I believe its not about religion that is happening in Gaza but about humanity so we must stand with Gaza.
      Thanks again.

  2. I agree with you entirely on this. I feel so saddened and equally frustrated by what is happening to the people of Gaza, and by the lack of awareness of the general public. The media is massively to blame for this, and I wish everyone knew the real story and background of this conflict.
    I wrote about Israel on my blog - http://thetraveloguer.com/israeli-embassy-incites-hatred/

  3. For Palestinians such brutality of Israeli soldiers & its government well supported & justified by super power is not new .is this question has been asked by any one why Palestinians are paying the price? What you think? is this one sided WAR is only just for the Land or they do not want to see a single Muslim alive in this region. Some time I feel embarrassed may be we may need to preserve the Palestinians (as WWF is doing).

      These are the questions that all of us are having in mind.
      There are many factors that are involved behind this brutality if we study history then we can know about the cause of this conflict as Israel is working on agenda of clearing Muslims from region and expanding its territory. I feel Palestine is pay price as we , people of world are not united against injustice and do not raise our voice.

  4. he media has desensitized the public to the horror of this ongoing terror. We hear words ,"25 killed today at a market..." and think "oh not too bad" 25 innocent people gone. Someones child, mother or father. I don't think the turmoil will ever end in the Middle East. It's horrible to see terrorizing and killings in Gaza become a permanent part of world. The sad fact is US support and over involvement has nothing to do with why we're aligned to "Israel cause" but our own political position and power.Thank you for putting a face on all the terror and inhumanity. It's all so horrible/

    1. Hello Pamela

      Thank you for your comment and time , I really appreciate that. Many bad things are going around the world and sadly many powerful countries are part of it , in one way or the other . I feel the such countries must come forward to improve peace in world and bring enemies on table for talk. But sadly they are providing them with more weapons to kill innocent around the world.

  5. Anna, this is quite the volatile topic and I'm in awe that you have chosen to write about it. I don't think anybody would disagree that the senseless death of civilians is the saddest thing in the world. But then so is this decades old war... unbearably sad.

      When I see misery and condition of dying and crying people it makes me sad and I tried to express my feelings over the issue. We all know that this can change any time and I hope and pray that change will be in best interest of people of Gaza. This truly is saddest and it pushed me to write about this topic.
      Thank you for your time and concern, I really appreciate that.

  6. Anna, I'm not sure what to say about this because I truly don't believe we have ever heard the truth. We hear horrendous stories from both sides and children being killed is unconscionable, no matter where or why. It would be wonderful if everyone could just get along but seeing what is happening in the world today that won't be happening anytime soon. Sitting on this side of the world it's hard to judge who is right and who is wrong. I just wish they would shake hands and say 'enough'.

    1. This is a sad aspect as we do not know what is behind the scene. As we are fed with the news that they want to give us.
      But when I come across the news and pictures of innocent children who are victim of this conflict and women then my heart bleeds. I hope this problem will finish soon and I hope just like you that both sides will agree on a solution that will benefit all.

  7. I don't even begin to understand all the political, religious, and historic factors surrounding Gaza, but what I can say is that my heart breaks for those innocent victims. I will pray for Gaza.

  8. I applaud you for your courage Anna. This is indeed and very challenging topic for all concerned. I agree that the senseless killing, especially innocents is just to sad for words. We seem to learn little from history because we as human being can do some unbelievably heinous things and we keep doing it. That is so terribly sad to me. :(

      I appreciate your Time.

      This is really sad that we as a human are blessed with powerful mind and emotions and still we divide our suffering as: their suffering, our suffering, pain is pain it has no race no religion.

  10. I'm sorry that you have to endure such a scenario. It seems I've heard about this all of my life because it's never done. What it's called keeps changing, but the chaos remains the same.

  11. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on this post. One of my boundaries is to not discuss religion online. Suffice it to say that, as a Jew, I pray for peace for all people in this region.

      Thank you for your time. I hope some day all of us enjoy peace.
      Yesterday I came across a news in which it was told that the people in Israel on other side of fence , do not even know whats going in Gaza.
      The thing is , we as people are not against each other , all of us want to stay peaceful but some elements in the world are that want tension in different parts to do their business and this is what's going on in that part.
      I appreciate your honesty , all the best.
