World War III

The destruction, the murder, the violence happening in Gaza today is not an attack on a group of people I cannot associate myself with. On the smallest level they are Arabs, then they are Muslims and finally but most importantly they are HUMAN BEINGS. They have been robbed of everything and now they are being murdered and destroyed with the idea of self-defense. Do tanks need to defend themselves against pebbles? For all people in the world being murdered, oppressed and terminated, this is not simply a war against you, but against all of us. A war against humanity, for every child that is slaughtered is a calamity of immense proportions. It is a shame on us and our legacies.

Israel: Stop this bloodshed. You are stronger than your opponent, and the murder of those children is too much of a burden. Please stop, you have displayed your strength, and it has been recognized. But your strength will not be measured by your weapons, and with every child and innocent that is killed by your hand is a loss of your humanity, and a loss of your identity, and build up of your tyranny. Stop denying the Palestinians their right to existence.

Hamas: Have mercy on the people of Palestine. You are fighting a war you cannot win and the casualties of this war are the very people you claim to protect. There can be no success in this path. Let the Palestinians find peace, so that they may grow and strengthen, and become beneficial for everyone. They cannot do this, they cannot concentrate, and they cannot improve themselves while they are trying to avoid murder and death. The best thing you can do is STOP.

Gaza: May God make these times pass quickly for you, and may He lighten the burdens that you and your children are forced to bear.

Hello...just blog hopping.

I agree with your viewpoint. Hamas clearly shows that it only wants to defend its own selfish interests rather than be concerned with the safety of the people of Gaza. 400 and more are dying, for God's sake they've got to focus on the humanitarian side!

Israel is essentially conducting a massacre- and the victims, especially children, have nothing to do with what their leaders are doing there. It is a cowardly act to kill those who cannot defend themselves. Israel must stop being arrogant and if they can't face Hamas on the table, then at least it shouldn't kill hundreds of innocents. Shame on them!

The Arab world must stop thinking about its links with the United States and other superpowers and really go out of their way to help their brothers in Gaza. This is their chance to tell the world that they are outraged with what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians. This is also a way to prove themselves as Muslims. Sobering up New Year's celebrations was a pretty lame thing to do. Shape up! The world's Muslims look up to you, do not disappoint them!
