War, Ceasefire and Peace
--
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict goes on, Gaza is controlled and jailed by the Israeli government for 13 years. Gazan citizens cannot go out of the city borders, or bring anything or anyone in, and as you might have thought, they lack resources of energy, food, and water, or in a modern way to explain it “NO HUMAN RIGHTS IN GAZA”.
Israel started bombing Gaza when Gazans started protesting on the borders, protesting for their own lives, their minimal human rights.
It all started when Theodor Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state in 1897.
Then when Jews faced the Holocaust in Europe and they actually started surging to Palestine in bigger numbers since 1948 till now.
In the meantime, Israel defines every Palestinian as a terrorist, for the fact that they defend themselves and their families. Israel controls the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Israel have committed and still commits criminal acts against Palestinians starting from demolishing their homes every now and then, to calling them terrorists, to planning their daily life, or jailing them and taking away all their human rights.
Israel must take responsibility for what has been done in Palestine and to the Palestinian people, it must take responsibility for the Palestinian emigrants around the world, Palestinian casualties, and the pain and the damage it caused to the Palestinian people since the day it existed.
Peace has never been accomplished when one side denies the pain of the other, and it has never been achieved when one side calls the other a terrorist. Peace has always been a sacred act that stems from human, traditional and educational values.
That’s why we never hear the word “Peace” in Israeli TV, or social media. Israel has never been looking for peace with the Palestinians, they’re afraid of this term because they’re afraid of losing the “Promised Land”, they’re afraid of peace, because if they make peace with the Palestinians they’d have to give them all they’ve taken away from them, and the Israeli mindset doesn’t allow them, it’s their promised land that they’d never share with anyone.
As a Palestinian Arab living in the heart of Israel, I acknowledge the fact that most Israelis are not looking for peace, instead they’re searching for ways to wipe Palestinians from the face of earth and give them minimal rights or calling them terrorists to show the world that they are the right side of the story, that they are the ones who should be on this land, and that they are the ones legitimately have the all the. rights tom bomb Gaza or the Palestinians.
I can see the Prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu)’s choice to deny Palestinians pain by his refusal of the High Court’s decision to allow 100 Palestinian bereaved families participation in a special shared Memorial Day commemoration ceremony for fallen fighters on both sides, or when he calls them terrorists for the fact that they’re Palestinian bereaved families.
The amount of hate taught in Israel is bigger than anyone could imagine.
This video of Nas Daily might show you bit on how Israel has been teaching its children for the past 70 years or so.
STOP THE HATE!
And images can speak more than words:
And the decision is left to you, are these values really worth a country to hold them? My values as a Palestinian have never been built on killing or judging the other side, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this.
