In this modern day and age, admittedly, we live in an extremely cruel and heartless world.
Two wrongs do not make “one right”.
The Hamas-Israeli war has made thousands of innocent harmless Palestinians get caught up in deadly crosshairs.
Similarly, the innocent Israeli civilians pay an equally brutal ultimate price.
Extremism and the far-right just need to have their way.
If there was no Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, would this ugly ever-festering political nightmare exist today?
The never-ending scoring of brownie points continues un-abated.
2.3 million hurting Palestinians, sandwiched in a tiny piece of real estate, by the sea and Egyptian-Israeli land, are today without power, water, food, and fast-deteriorating health care.
A human catastrophe is fast unfolding in double-quick time. Hospitals are now becoming morgues.
The grossly disproportionate use of superior firepower, at all levels – land, sea, and air – cannot be justified.
In the name of innocent humanity; in all quarters, both Palestinian and Israeli, I share my sadness.
Two wrongs will never ever make “one right”.
Billions of dollars are spent to kill fellow mankind.
Millions hunger each day. Thousands die daily. This world is heartless, by the concerns and justifications of the extremists.
In a 50-period, in the 2014 Israeli-Hamas war in Gaza, please remember, some 2300 Palestinians were killed. About 1400 were innocent civilians (500 children; 300 women).
History reveals itself painfully; yet again.
This occupation must end for God’s greater glory.
The United Nations has failed humanity, in my humble view.
The world has not learnt from World War II; the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima; the Vietnam war and the never-ending Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
Brute force is the price the innocent endures painfully today. The destruction of Gaza continues for the world to witness.
The suffering innocent Palestinians have nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.
Soon there will be no food, water, power, or help.
I hurt too for these innocent millions.
