Tears for Palestinians, as Gaza is bombed

My heart bleeds for the land of prophets, Palestine. I am outraged at the sheer ruthlessness of the attack by Israel. Does any amount of rockets fired from the Gaza strip, that rarely kill people, account for the disproportionate use of force by Israel on unarmed civilian Palestinian people. They are already under a crippling blockade; less food limited supplies and now no electricity, no gas and bombs falling.I feel helpless like millions of Muslims, who can watch and protest , but can do nothing. My blood boils and yet, I can only see and clench my fists and pray for the Muslims. I want to be there in Gaza, to pick up the rubble and save people. I wish I could do something to assuage their suffering, but I can't.
What's the world doing? THinking about whether not to condemn Israel or not? All the words of condemnation are mild from the West. The outrage is felt by all Muslims, as is seen by the massive demonstrations. BUt will Israel stop? I doubt that Israel has any conscious left. IT wants to milk out every shred of resistance from the Palestinians. BUt I feel it in me, the Palestinians will not be defeated. THey have a legitimate right of their land and they are on morally high ground. I wish to say that all Pakistanis are with you, Palestine. God help you.

Of course it is a humanitarian cause. That's why Muslims and Non-Muslims have protested alike. There have been mass protests in Arab states like Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and countries like Indonesia, pakistan, Phillipines,J & K, in LOndon and Brussels, in New York and Chicago, in Australia. What is at stake here is the choice between right and wrong and it takes courage to stand on the right side. Few Governments in the world can take that decision. THe US chooses to favor its protege, Israel. Its champions of human rights forget that the Palestinians are humans.

If you ever read a history of Jerusalem and the Palestinian land, you will know how the Palestinian land was forcefully taken, how these Muslims were pushed out to create space for Israel. THis David has become a Goliath. Blood of the Palestinians Muslims is flowing.

However, I feel that the curse of the oppressed never goes unheard.It was heartening to see so many people come out in so many places and speak up against injustice. Of course we feel it more because these men, women and children getting slaughtered are Muslims. BUt they are humans first. It is wrong to kill, maim, injure innocent human beings.

Yes, the GOvernments are impotent. Yes Hosni Mubarak is a Us stooge. Yes the Arab states are oil rich but all their money is in foreign banks, all their military support is by the West. So they lack courage. BUt this is no excuse. Atleast the people protest. I feel my blood boiling and my heart being torn to pieces when I watch innocent children crying, injured, bleeding after getting hit and I wonder: Are these children terrorists as well?Isn't Israel indulging in state-sponsored terrorism? Isn't the US favoring Israel for this slaughter?Double standards.
