it's nearly two weeks since israel began its assault on gaza. the death toll of innocent civillians right now is 765 and rising. the only outcome of politicians who sit around a a table debating whilst children, i repeat CHILDREN are dying, is a three hour pause during the day for aid to pass through. oh and just in, finally a resolution for a ceasefire... it took them 765 deaths to come to that conclusion???
i am getting sick and tired of israel's "self-defense" excuse used to justify its acts. is it really self defense killing innocent lives of children? preventing aid? bombing places of worship? even firing at a UN truck! oh yes all this in the name of self defense indeed ...
"Our installations have been hit, our workers have been killed in spite of the fact that the Israeli authorities have the co-ordinates of our facilities and that all our movements are co-ordinated with the Israeli army," said Unrwa spokesman Chris Gunness.
nothing can justify what the israeli govt are doing to the gazans. they say they are defending themselves against terrorists, it is them who are the terrorist. i dont hold all israel to blame, there are 20% of israelis against their government, although a minority, at least there is awareness amongst the israelis at how inhumane their government is.
im going to stop now because i just cant blog any further about this. it really does pain me to see my brothers and sisters in palestine without food, water, shelter. make dua for them please. that is the least we can do. pray an additional sunnah prayer every night for them. that is the least we can do. donate even $1, that is the least we can do.
