Something you may not know about Israel and Gaza
16 years ago
I know this is probably something people don't want to hear, but y'know this is very important to me. I'll be talking about the Israeli/Gaza war happening right now. I'm very pro-Zionism, so if you don't want to hear me defending Israel then stop reading now. If you don't want to hear about the conflict, stop reading now. Still reading? Alright.
So, for those of you who don't know, I have very close friends and family who are in the army and have been threatened by the war. Be'er Sheva, somewhere that I might be going to school next year, is 45 seconds with in the rocket launchings.
Gaza, has been launching rockets into Israel for YEARS. This didn't randomly start. Israel didn't attack Gaza to be assholes, they were DEFENDING THEMSELVES. Rockets are sent DAILY into Israel. They have been since BEFORE Israel retaliated.
One thing I have to say. You have to know who is responsible for this war. It is not the Palestinians. It is not the Israelis. It is not the Jews. It is not The Muslims. It is not the Arabs. It is HAMAS. Them, and them ALONE. And they don't even have the BALLS to face it. They are using their people as human shields. They are hiding among their people, leaving their weapons in schools, hospitals and mosques. That is DISGUSTING. The Israelis are trying to harm as few civilians as they can. But it's impossible with the tunnels being dug under homes, with the rockets in hidden in schools and Hamas walking next to innocent people. But know what's worse? Hamas doesn't give two shits about their citizens. THAT'S why they're in such turmoil. Y'know Israel sent 500 trucks into Gaza to help the civilians? Did you know that they have taken injured citizens into Israel to get help from Israeli hospitals. One woman Palestinian was in emergency labour and couldn't get into a Gaza hospital, so soldiers took her out of Gaza and brought her to a hospital in Israel. They told her that she and her newborn son could stay in Israel as long as she needed. She said she didn't want to go back.
Many Arabs are against Hamas. Many realize that what they're doing is horrible, using their people. Even anti-Zionists are saying that what they're doing is horrible. Anyone who supports Hamas in anyway is disgusting. NO ONE should be allowed to behave this way, especially not the government of a state.
I'm sure many of you have seen the turmoil that Palestine has been put into as of this past week on the news. But do you know how the Israelis in Sderot and the Western Negev have been for YEARS?! No? I just want to tell you, that these areas used to be beautiful. People used to not have a care in the world. Now? Do you know how many children suffer from psychological trauma now? I want you to guess. 50%? 70? No. 94% NINETY FOUR FUCKING PERCENT. NINETY FOUR children's lives have been destroyed by the rockets being shot into Sderot. I want you to imagine the city, town, whatever, that's about half a mile from you. I want you to imagine have rockets launched at you by them EVERY DAY. I want you to imagine having 15 seconds. FIFTEEN SECONDS, to find a safe place to hide, or to accept death. THAT'S NOT A LIFE!! HUNDREDS of people have been killed, THOUSANDS injured. ALL of them, have been uprooted from their lives.
This is a story I heard from a friend of mine today. A woman was baby sitting her four year old son and his friend. Their computer was on the second floor of their house. They hadn't gone upstairs for two years. And the boy wanted to show off a program on his computer. After BEGGING his mother, she finally agreed. While they were up there a rocket landed on their roof. They didn't have time to escape. Can you imagine that?! NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR OF YOUR OWN HOUSE. because otherwise you might be blown to bits. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?!
I can tell you, that NO kid in Sderot's favourite colour is red. The words that bring fear into those people's hearts, "Tzevat Adom", Red Alert, go off every day. They get 15 seconds to hide and pray for their lives. In Be'er Sheva, one of the further cities that rockets are launched at, have the WONDERFUL privilege of 45 seconds. I'm not kidding when I say privilege.
So, I say this: if you think that Israel is the one in the wrong, at least THINK, who started this? Who's hiding among their people, using them as shields? Who cheers at OUR deaths, while WE mourn theirs? I pray for the Israelis and the Palestinians. And I hope for the end of Hamas and this war.
That's all I have to say. Have questions? Feel free to ask. Refuse to talk to me because I'm Israeli, Jewish and a Zionist. Fuck you, I don't care. Don't care and want to be ignorant? Shame on you. But it's not my place to lecture. Just remember, don't only believe the news, because their is propaganda. And while the Israelis pray for peace and want to be able to live together, Israelis and Arabs side by side, Hamas wants to blow any Jew or Israeli off the map.

Someone else knows what is really going on.
Kudos.
They treat it like it barely happened and they make it look like Gaza is the threat. Umm no.
Hamas is at fault, they threaten, harass, and kill only to their leisure, they have no cause.
It is 100% Hamas's fault. If anyone else thinks otherwise, then they are ignorant or just WRONG. They are attacking the Israeli's because they are there and they are hiding behind their own people, using their people as human shields. ARABS agree that Hamas must be stopped.
I admit that I had no real idea of the situation there at all.
After reading this, however... even I find myself in a sense... "praying" for an end of the Hamas. Praying might be the wrong word, since I am not really part of a religion that does actually believe in prayers, but... it's the best way for me to express it...
And whenever a nation on the... "outside" of the conflict wants to intertwine, it appears to me as if they were just trying to "calming" both sides with words, without a real analysis of the situation. At least those people should know, or so I thought...
It's a terrible situation for all the innocent people involved there...
Ugh, during the 2nd Lebanese war, all the US did was make a cease fire that lasted two weeks. People should honestly take atleast two seconds to realize that shit happens and it needs to be stopped.
*siiiiiigh* Somethin' needs to be done... not just the Hamas, also the way things like this end up in the public. >.<;
Though... speakin' about hamas and media has made me think of an actually humorous, real story that happened a short time ago... I'll not tell you unless you want me to, though.
Tell me.
As for the story...
I am not making this up... there has been porn on the Hamas-Television-channel(s?). Because a technician there could no longer stand the sight of blood and bodies and had switched the channel on the station he was watching TV on to a Polish porn-channel, not realizing that this would affect the whole channel-broadcast...
Okay, that's funny. Atleast they got to watch porn instead of terrorist propaganda! And yes, as you probably guessed, there are multiple terrorist television channels throughout the arab world.
