This video is harrowing. Prepare yourself. How can the world stand by and allow this to happen once more? How many more must die before those in power demand a ceasefire? Why are innocent people being punished this way? Why has Israel intensified its attacks after 17 days of war. If the reports are true and the testimonies are correct, there have been violations of all kinds - war crimes, crimes against humanity, breach of the Geneva Convention and International law, use of prohibited weapons.. I no longer know what these all mean.. they´ve lost their meaning.. or is the meaning relative? Has Israel forgotten its recent past in the 20th century, when they were also victims?
We watch helplessly as the killing, massacre, genocide - call it what u like - continues and heightens. It´s already 17 days, there are already more than 900 dead, 900!!!! Israel is preventing aid and humanitarian personnel from attending to the injured and dead if we are to believe the sources.. what was the cause for bombing a home in which they gathered a family? How can we be so cruel to our fellow human beings?
We look on helplessly and ask - how many more must die? Meanwhile, the hypocrites we have as leaders continue to spew senseless propaganda and find a scapegoat in Hamas. The dead will soon reach 1,000 and we will stop reading the stories on Gaza. This is how it goes.
This is a comment I shared with a few close friends last night after watching a 16 year old survivor recount the loss of his entire family in a house. His tears and pain were too much, a small reflection of the suffering and damage done during war.
Hamas spokesmen made it clear that these attacks will not stop the launch of rockets.. is the problem Hamas? Israel and by extension the international community, do not want to negotiate with Hamas - they claim it will only embolden the terrorist, illegitimate group! Hence, the lack of consultation with this group by the UN Security Council. Hamas claims they were not alluded to. They do not reject a ceasefire but are willing to talk in order to stop the bombings.. so why is Israel intensifying its attacks - do they just want to flex their muscle and show the world their might and right?
How can we read in the reports that Hamas and Israel reject a ceasefire when NO ONE is consulting Hamas and the international community continues to support Israel´s attacks and condemn Hamas for its "unforgivable" actions, if we are to quote Sarkozy?? In this war, there are many sides.. regardless of our own opinions, regardless of our faith, nationality, etc. we cannot sit by and allow the numbers of Palestinians to grow. it´s now close to 900. If this isn´t a reflection of the sheer brutal force of these attacks which must stop, then what is?
We are all Palestinians...Todos somos palestinos - this was one of the shouts heard in the Madrid protest this weekend in support of Palestine.
