We wake up each day with a new energy ready to do the best we can for our family and loved ones. We endure long hours and fight the elements to provide comfort, security and growth to the ones we care about. But there is a part of the world in which for the past seven decades people wake up not knowing if they would ever see the ones they love aging. Where each day the possibility of getting gunned down arrested and killed is higher than being able to earn an honest day’s keep. I am talking about Palestine.
Can you imagine growing up in an environment where you can get beat up or shot at any time? , Can you imagine the content state of fear while you sleep not knowing when a group of armed soldier would break down the door and enter your house?
I am sure you have seen the images of mass murder of civilian going on for the past year and a half at the hand of the Israeli Military backed by the state of Israel. Everyone with a heart feels they should support Palestine and stop this mindless killing of innocent civilians especially children.
But if you are someone who decides things based on reasoning and not emotion then here are three dam good reasons to stand with Palestine and stop this genocide
1. Remember Hitler
The first reason to support the people of Palestine is that I know my history. I know how the Jews in Germany got isolated, objectified and killed by Hitler just for being Jews and not following the same beliefs and ideals as that of Hitler and his followers. I remember that it is wrong to carry out mass murder of human beings on the basis of personal dislike or religious disparities. I remember how men, women and children were arrested and placed in concentration camps and killed I remember how the Jews where forcefully removed from their homes and stripped off their lands. But…, unfortunately both the Jews and the world seem to have forgotten Hitler, and how wrong he was. I believe that what happened to the Jews in Germany was a crime against humanity and the same is true for the people of Palestine today. Where the killing of Jews by Hitler was wrong then the killing of Muslims by Israel is wrong and shameful today. Every day we see air strikes and drone attacks on innocent people and all this aggression is motivated by a desire to expand borders and fueled by religious hate against Muslims among the Jews of Israel. It is ironic that the Jews today are doing the same to Muslims what Hitler did to them.
2. World’s First Free Live Weapons Testing Lab
On the surface it seems like a territorial struggle made complicated by religious differences. But if you dig a little deeper you will find that the reasons whys this dispute does not get resolved is because Palestine is the world’s first weapons testing lab that is free. Just think about it !, How is it that the strongest air force and the most advanced weapons manufacturer “Israel “ has been unable to capture such a small area for such a long time . How is it that a battle erupts every few years but leads to Israel falling back?
Israel is the largest developer and exporter of weapons and military technologies in the world. The reason why it keeps the Palestine issue unresolved and does not take over competently is because it uses the GuzA and west bank as a weapons testing lab. Every few years Israel develops new weapons and ignites conflict so that they get a reason to test them in battle. This in turn helps them improve and find out weaknesses in their products enabling them to sell at a higher rate in the global weapons market. This gives them the ability to profit more since all their weapons proudly bear the tag of “Battle tested” while deliberately keeping the people of Guza and Palestine as gigi pigs. To understand this you can read a book by a Jewish author titled “The Palestine Laboratory”
3. An Unlawful Land Grab
No matter how you look at this war the inescapable reality is that the world super powers are in it for their own prize gains. All the major countries are silent on the killing of millions of people because they eventually want access and ownership of the land of Palestine so that they can commercialize them to make billion. A prime land in the heart of Middle East will provide the most profitable trade opportunities and would enable these so called super powers to control the progress of this region and through the rest of the world. It has been a long standing dream of many powerful countries to capture this prime land. So, they remain quiet and are oaky with millions of deaths just to enhance their influence and wealth. On the surface this dispute is not that difficult. The solution is right there give the people of Palestine a separate country alongside Israel according to UNO’s recommendations. But due to the greed of resources and the desire to dominate the world’s oil and gold trade this issue is kept unresolved allowing the worst human crimes to take place.
Bottom Line
The world should come together and stop this genocide immediately and prove that humanity is not driven by power hunger and greed but by compaction and understanding. The biggest burden of responsibilities falls on the Muslim world. If you are a Muslim you should pressurize your government to take action to stop the war and fight for two state solutions that can ensure a lasting peace. If Muslims stay quiet today tomorrow it would be their turn to face the same
