I'm not one to impose my personal views or beliefs on anyone. I am very protective of my opinions - I only form them because I know them to be true with the core of my being - and I know that Israel is an apartheid, terrorist state that is intent upon the genocide of the Palestinian people. With irrefutable proof from eyewitness accounts via Twitter, footage of the operation on YouTube, and countless images available on Instagram, and Facebook, social media is actively combating the lies told by media outlets. Online activists are organizing protests, raising aid, and petitioning their governments to act. And while this may seem like a small step, it is a step. Silence is compliance. Silence is letting the apartheid nation of Israel feel that its genocide of Palestinians is acceptable.
I would like to stress that I stand with Palestine not just because I am Muslim, but for the undeniable proof I have read and seen of Israel's oppression, of Israel's crimes against humanity. I stand with Palestine because no human life is collateral damage. I stand with Palestine because I stand against oppression. I stand with Palestine because I stand for justice, peace, and the pursuit of certain inalienable rights.
The media may regurgitate the same spiel about Hamas' extremism, and it may seem like it is a Holy War - but I believe this is it not merely about race or religion - it's about politics. It's about drama.
War is hot - shocking, gory, deadly headlines sell papers. They catch the viewers eye. This sense of dread - the impending sense of doom - the fear of inevitable death and the end of the world - that's what sells.
Human Suffering On Channel 4.
With that said, these media moguls have the godly ability to show you and me anything and make it become "The cold hard truth".
But who decides what truth to show us? Which human suffering should we condemn and which humans should we condemn to living in an open-air prison?
This cannot continue. The information age must destroy the power of the false journalism.
As the sixth day of Israel's Operation Protective Edge dawns, the Palestinian death toll reaches 162. As Israel prepares to launch a ground operation, Palestinians cower in fear, because they do not have the same protection afforded to Israelis. There is no Iron Dome to intercept missiles, no shelters to run to for protection, and no sirens to warn of danger. Palestinians are sitting ducks for the IDF's offense. This is not war, it is genocide. No live rockets have landed in Tele Aviv and no injuries have resulted directly by Hamas...so why is Israel collectively punishing the people of Gaza? An act strictly prohibited in the 4th Geneva Convention and the Hague Regulation.
Gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world - by launching missiles into these civilian areas, Israel is sentencing these innocent people to certain death. Women, children, the elderly are all live targets. Israel is destroying homes, and when they attack Hamas (the democratically elected government), they can attack any building including but not limited to schools and hospitals. If you still believe that the people of Gaza are human shields, remember that it is not Hamas but Israel who is forcing them into two choices - surrender or resist.
And would you rather die on your feet or, in this case, die on your knees? There is very little room for contemplation.
The oppression and colonization of the apartheid nation of Israel needs to come to an end. Israel must retreat, cease fire, and return the illegal settlements. Israel must be held accountable in the International Courts for its crimes against humanity.
Many people may not be in agreement with my sentiments, and if I was to stoop to their level, I'd say:
"Please shut up, you are stupid and blindsided by the corrupt Media. Also, I have seen a TV program on NatGeoWild about how chimps have scary killer tendencies and you bare an uncanny resemblance to them. Good day."
My condolences to the people of Palestine.
