I will describe to you what is happening in this photo. An IDF soldier feels threatened by the presence of this three year old. Therefore he chooses to retrieve his gun (if you could call it a gun) and aim it at the little boy. This way, the 20+ year old IDF soldier can ensure his safety, his life, and his well-being. What the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is in all meaning apartheid. The whole formation of this Jewish state goes against anything we learned in life. Let me explain what I mean. Little children learn to share, to communicate, not be violent. Not to be greedy, or selfish, but to be polite and understanding. All of these characteristics stick with the person for as all long as he/she lives. Yet here we have an exception. The Israelis. No not all Israelis are bad, but the majority of them think that what the Israeli government is doing is correct, politically and morally. Why doesn't the world see these acts of racism, I do not know. And I am extremely perplexed at the state of the world. The United States ended racism and segregation of African Americans, yet here we have the IDF treating these poor people like insects. And Israel is so proud of it's military, and the world is impressed with how dedicated these soldiers are to their country. Well think again, I surely am not proud of what these people did and are doing to this population.
Racism is a big crime in the world, but the International community chooses to ignore what's happening in the West Bank and Gaza. Half the population is under the poverty line, they can't eat or sleep (they don't have a house). They can't go to work, because of the checkpoints that are sprouting up everywhere. First they expelled them from their homes and land. They made them flee into the West Bank and to neighboring countries. Next they want "Judea and Samaria", because it's the promised land in their holy book. Well, if the world was going to go on claims of their holy books, the world would be a stage for wars and crimes. We'll have the Holy Wars and crusades all over again. But in the world's eyes, Israel has the right to exist. Alright, and if it does, why does it not stick to its original borders? No, it wants to expand. All those characteristics that I mentioned above don't describe the IDF and the Israeli government. But the opposites would. They are greedy, selfish, rude, cruel. They want everything, all the holy land. They even wanted the Jolan Heights which belonged to Syria. And now they got it, the West Bank, Gaza, and the Jolan Heights. I came across a photo of the Jolan Heights today labeled, "The Land God Promised to Us [Jews]. Why not claim the whole earth while they are at it. The Jolan Heights is part of Syria and will always be part of Syria. But their greed is blinding them, and their state of mind, that everyone is inferior to them, isn't helping anyone. They choose to ignore the people that are already living on it, and even have the nerve to say that the land was barren and it was waiting for the Jews to come (for two thousand years). This is unbelievable. And I hope people that have a different stand than I should open their eyes to the horrors. What next are the Israelis going to occupy, Jordan, or Syria? Israel can justify anything it does with the United States behind it, even the illegal settlements and the ethnic cleansing that is almost complete in Jerusalem.

I feel exactly the same way.
ReplyDeleteEverything Israel does gets on my last nerves! They're practically doing what was done on their own people--have they not learned? They're hogging everything, and going by the state of mind "Do everything we say, because we're better!" It is so infuriating. I wish the state of Israel did not even exist! Because if their existance means eliminating the existance of so many other nations, then it's not even worth it! And it's apalling how the US will stand for this. Don't people catch on? It's always the same thing Israel says--that they're defending their civilians, that so-and-so is using civilians as human shields, blablabla. It's all the same sick, old, lies! I guess common sense really isn't so common! People need to get ahold of themselves and stop living in their fantasy worlds where they think everything Israel does is an act of kindness and protection. Peesh!

BTW: That picture is so sad!
ReplyDeleteaw, the picture is sick, what kind of protection is needed against a tiny child like that? he's hardly going to be carrying a bomb or anything for godsake, how does anyone expect these children to have decent lives when they have a gun pointing at them from the day they're born? its really depressign actually.
ReplyDeleteAs for the "holy land" garbage they're spouting up, i think two can play that game.
Isreal seriously needs to get some limits and i wish someone would set it for them. Sadly, it seems the rest of the governments are happy sitting back and watching the injustice.
And yeah... You would have thought, of all people, the jews would know about this kind of treatment but it seems they've all got long term memory loss... midn you, we still get taught about all the horrific things the jews went through and yet, Nowhere does anyone mention the horrific thing the palestinians are going through NOW.
