This made me cry- like really cry. It just hurt deep down, at the thought of those kids who get caught in this adult world. Took me some time to gather my thoughts and tears together, I managed to overcome it, even though its still on my mind, but what about all those children, who not only hear of this happening, but see it and experience it, right infront of their innocent eyes. I thank Allah for giving me a bed to sleep in at night, for letting me walk the streets without the fear of people who want to destroy my home, for letting me have an education and for giving me parents, friends and a family. <3

GAZA: HERE WE GO AGAIN!

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a terrorist attack for a terrorist attack. Sit back ladies and gentlemen for the next round of hypocrisy as Israel plays the victim card, forgetting the fact that it has stolen Palestinian lands, that it continues to bulldoze Palestinian homes, expel people from their lands and loots Palestinian resources. If your home is taken, what do you do?

The underlying background to these conflicts is that, pure and simp

le, crystal clear and perfectly straightforward. The borders of Israel as drawn up by the UNO back in 1948 were the recognised borders of the State of Israel under international law and it is within these borders that the State of Israel has the right to exist.

What Israel has done since then is to systematically steal Palestinian lands, throw people out of their homes, take their farms, desecrate their cemeteries and force their people to live in ever-smaller residential areas, pockets looking like concentration camps separated from Israel by a Berlin Wall.

Now Israel is about to justify an invasion of Gaza by claiming that it was attacked in terrorist strikes by HAMAS. If Israel was serious about Gaza, then why, when it withdrew, did it impose an inhumane blockade, meaning that every aspect of life in the Gaza Strip is dominated by Israel and not by the Palestinian Authority?

True, HAMAS has been launching rocket attacks against southern Israel for months, on and off. But then again, Israel has been flouting international law, without so much as a blink from the international community, for years. Not for months, for years. Beatings, bulldozings, theft of property, illegal detention, torture, murder, terrorist strikes, phosphorous bombings of schools, strafing of funerals in a "well, they shouldn't have been there, should they?" policy and they expect the Palestinians to do what exactly? Stand back and applaud?

And if Israel is serious about not wanting to harm civilians and about surgically downgrading HAMAS' war machine with precision strikes, let us look at NATO's precision terrorist strikes across the globe and let us ask why is Israel then attacking positions where civilians are concentrated where there is no HAMAS apparatus?

So let us all be serious and cut through the BS because nobody is easily fooled any more. We have access to the Internet, we have social networks, we all have our sources in the field and we know perfectly well what is going on, those of us who do not read our daily dose of lies in our squeaky-clean corporate "mainstream" or "bought" media, you know the ones who told us Gaddafy was bombing his people and who forgot to reveal that NATO has been supporting terrorists for the last few decades.

Let us condemn all attacks and all violence, all terrorist strikes, all murders, all violations of international law, all illegal acts against the person and against property and the bottom line is that Israel has far further to go than anyone else in the region.

Let us also not tar all Israelis with the same brush and remember that a substantial number of Jews are against Zionism, against Israel's government policy and many give up their free time working as volunteers for Palestinian humanitarian causes. But let us hold Israel accountable for the situation it has created through years of abuse and let us demand that the international community ceases to use two sets of weights and measures.

Because does Israel's own adage, "an eye for an eye", not justify, in a way, what HAMAS is doing?

I AM A PALESTINIAN CHILD.

I have been left hungry for days and now for weeks. I hear in other places, children sleep in their warm beds.Their mothers are by their side singing to them songs. Their fathers would kiss them once they wake up in the morning from their beds. They have games and toys to play with... But I, I play and wait for death.

I am a Palestinian child.

My mother always cries, she wears black because she faces darkness everyday. The enemies of the sun...the children of those oppressors. When they first hit our house with their bombs my father became a shahid. Just like the other Palestinian fathers.

Now I am all alone. Without an Owner, just like the other Palestinian children.

I am an orphaned Palestinian young girl. I have brothers and sisters; Azra and A'ishah, 5 year old Mohammad and Zeyneb who is 9 years old.We sleep in one bed together, the 5 of us because we have no other bed.

I am a Palestinian child but I, I haven't been able to sleep from the sounds of planes and bombs. In times like this we would hug each other and cry. On a night like this we were struck with fire from the bombs. I screamed out and Cried: "Mother, Mother, Mother!"

My mother did not reply to me for she was covered in red but red did not have a voice.

My mother who always used to wear black was now covered in blood. My mother had become a shahid. Ai'shah's cradle was covered in blood, Mohammad and rest of my sisters had become shahids.

I am a Palestinian child, orphaned.

I could not get up then because I had lost a leg. I cried out asking, what was my crime? They said your name is Summaya. This is your crime. Just like those named A'ishah, Fatima and Mohammad. It is because you are a Shahids child like all the rest of the Palestinian children.

They told me it's because I am a Palestinian child, 'don't bother' they said to me... 'no one can hear you'. I asked them, 'isn't there anyone else in this world who is just like me', they said '1.5 billion, among them named A'ishah and Ahmad'. I couldn't believe it. 'Where are they? Show me, where are they? Where are the Muslims?. Have they abandoned us for a handful of Yahoud?!'

So I raise my hands and seek refuge in My Rabb!!

"O Allah, I believe in You and I see refuge in You. I depend on You and trust in You. You are my protector and the Owner of everything. You are the Lord of the Universe and You are my Lord. Oh Allah, Destroy them!

I am a Palestinian child, an orphaned child.

Its probably best to stick to salient facts when espousing a rant although in this case I can see why you would have rather reticent about including them;

 

FACTS

 

The UN partioned Israel and Palestine in 1948 giving both a homeland, this at the time when most arabs of Palestine looked upon TransJordan (West Bank) as their homeland.

5 Arab nations immediately launched a full scale war to drive the jews into the sea which triggered the first arab israeli war .

 

In 1967 another war was launched after Nasser closed the straits of Tiran which was a casus belli for the six day war

After the six day war the arab league voted in the famous 3 no s

No peace

No recognition

No ceasefire

 

In 1973 Syria and Egypt launched a full scale invasion which triggered the yom kippur war

 

Israel has repeatedly asked to trade land for peace , which it successfully did with Egypt for Sinai and Jordan

The inconvenient truth is that Hamas charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of jews ....

Now after digesting these facts you can perhaps temper your blinkered wahhabi outlook.Hamas will have to reap the whirwind#

The 1948 UN agreement did not represent the facts on the grounds and was at a time when population exchanges were all the latest rage.

While the 1948 agreement gave Jews the majority of the land, the Palestinians owned over 93% of it.

The Palestinians driven out of their homes due to terror by Jewish groups were not allowed to return and they and their offspring in most cases are still refugees.

The 1967 war was started by Israel. The 1973 war was a result of the 1967 war..

Many Israelis have no stomach for allowing the Palestinians live in a place they beleive was biblically given to them.

In the current conflict, a peace treaty draft was given by Hamas to Israel hours before the assassination of Ahmed Jaabari.

It doesnt matter what the charter says when the facts on the grounds, the actual discussions, the actual work on the ground suggests something else entirely.

From the first impressions, the actual contents of the ceasefire match closely to what was offered to Israel before hand, so none of this action had any purpose other than political.

Ariel Sharon once said about the Palestinians something along the lines that if they do not accept what you give them, beat them so hard that they beg you to give them what you had offered.

If I wanted to I could start each and every paragraph in this post with the following text: "FACT - ". But I choose not to.

Very convenient ommision of the saudi peace initiative that is now a decade old.

Recognise Palestine in the 1967 borders and you get peace and normalised relations with ALL arab states.

However Israel is not interested and it tries to hide mention of this still open offer because it doesnt suit its propaganda.

There is a video of Netanyahu speaking a decade ago where he mentioned that he specifically sabotaged the peace plans at the time as he does not want there to be a Palestinian homeland. His actions now match his words and actions then.

Quote:
...

 For decades the Israelis have played for time, whining that they have “no partner for peace” while continuing to seize and colonize all the Palestinian land and water resources needed to fulfil the Zionist dream of a Greater Israel from the Jordan to the Mediterranean – or, some say, the Euphrates to the Nile.

To that end the Zionist regime has continually violated UN resolutions, international law and the norms of human decency while rushing to establish irreversible facts on the ground, like the monstrous settlements and their supporting infrastructure, and to press ahead with further demolition of Arab homes and more ethnic cleansing.

Contempt for UN resolutions

Why should Palestinians even entertain the idea of talking to their criminal tormentors when the path to peace is clearly set out in countless rulings by the United Nations and by the International Court of Justice? These are waiting to be implemented and enforced. Here are some examples…..

  • Resolution 181 (the Partition Plan of 1947 accepted by the Jews) declares Jerusalem, including Bethlehem and Beit Sahour, a corpus separatum – to be run under an international UN administration. This was reiterated in Resolution 303 a year later. We’re still waiting.
  • Resolution 194: resolves that refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbours should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage. That was 64 years ago.
  • Resolution 237: Israel to allow return of the “new” 1967 Palestinian refugees.
  • Resolution 242: emphasizes the inadmissibility of acquiring territory by war and calls on Israel to withdraw its forces from land occupied in 1967.
  • Resolution 252: declares invalid Israel’s attempts to unify Jerusalem as the Jewish capital.
  • Resolution 271: condemns Israel’s failure to obey UN resolutions on Jerusalem.
  • Resolution 298: deplores Israel’s changing of the status of Jerusalem.
  • Resolution 446: determines that Israeli settlements are a “serious obstruction” to peace and calls on Israel to abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention.
  • Resolution 452: calls on Israel to cease building settlements in occupied territories.
  • Resolution 465: deplores Israel’s settlements and asks all member states not to assist Israel’s settlements program.
  • Resolution 469: strongly deplores Israel’s failure to observe the Council’s order not to deport Palestinians.
  • Resolution 471: expresses deep concern at Israel’s failure to abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention.
  • Resolution 476: reiterates that Israel’s claims to Jerusalem are null and void.
  • Resolution 478: censures Israel in the strongest terms for its claim to Jerusalem in its Basic Law.
  • Resolution 605: strongly deplores Israel’s policies and practices denying the human rights of Palestinians.
  • Resolution 608: deeply regrets that Israel has defied the United Nations and deported Palestinian civilians.
  • Resolution 641: deplores Israel’s continuing deportation of Palestinians.
  • Resolution 673: deplores Israel’s refusal to cooperate with the United Nations.
  • Resolution 681: deplores Israel’s resumption of the deportation of Palestinians.
  • Resolution 694: deplores Israel’s deportation of Palestinians and calls on it to ensure their safe and immediate return.
  • Resolution 726: strongly condemns Israel’s deportation of Palestinians.
  • Resolution 799: ditto

Well they should have the appetite else they will confine their own people to live in squalor for years to come ? They had no stoamch to make peace because they dreamt of liberating Palestine from the Jordan to the shore

Also you very conveniently ignore the fact that they started ALL the wars ...

 

1948

1967 was started by nasser after he closed the straits for Tiran

1973 they wanted to avenge their humilation in six days and came close before as usual getting carried away and losing the 3rd army in Egypt

 

This is a temporary ceasefire , real peace will not be achieved until Hamas and their shia paymasters in Assad and Tehran are both taken care off

As for the suffering of the people they have only themselves to blame , I wonder why their squillionaire arab brethren will not contribute one penny to their cause ?

I agree 100%, anyone who ridicules the mujahideen and mocks the rewards Allah has kept for the martyrs of Islam is not worth entertaining one bit.

A 12 year old palestinian has more guts than this clown.
