If I ruled the world I would take my UN soldiers into Gaza, confront the Israeli soldiers and take over food distribution without a second thought. I would ride over the lies of Netanyahu and his right wing friends. I might even jail the politicians who are holding back from calling the man out for not understanding what the phrase 'right action' means. They are there to govern not mouth useless words that do nothing. And yes I know where all this started on 7th October, it was a most horrible and cruel day, and I am not in any way antisemitic.
What I see is hatred and genocide. Anger should be a useful emotion, all over the world, including Israel people, there is protest against this cruelty, we are to have our hearts broken with children who would be in heaven, where there is food rather than down on this Earth. FFS what does the Israeli government think the future is going to bring to them, when they face the hatred and anger of the people around their country, the future will be exactly the same as it is now.
War is a game, we as humans end up with too many people on this Earth, so we battle to reduce the numbers, our young sons and daughters pay the price. The radio chatters behind me, mellifluous voices are talking of the immigrants coming ashore on the boats. There is a programme coming later about the RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution saving the lives of the 'boat people'. They do not judge, they save the lives of these people because it is the right thing to do.
I started this blog because I went to get some bread from the freezer down in the basement, I looked down into its packed surface and thought of those Palestinian people fighting for food that is denied them. We who have plenty need to share with those who have none. The Palestinian people are not second rate humans they are equal to all of us and should be treated so.
I agree with everything you wrote. The human race, where everyone is equal, or should be.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that. People are speaking out all over the world but direct action by those that can move it forward immediately are thin on the ground.
DeleteYou almost wrote what has been running around in my mind as a post for a couple of days. Even Jewish people cannot accuse of us of being anti semitic. Who really wants to see starving babies and kids, let alone adults being killed because of desperate hunger?
ReplyDeleteI think we have all been a bit frightened about saying anything Andrew. But bearing witness is something that is essential'
DeleteWhen you take over ruling the world, if you need a deputy I am happy to volunteer for the role.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer. Hopefully the world will return to some order.
DeletePeople are starving in many places and there is never a good reason for it at all.
ReplyDeleteDeliberate starvation is wicked though Ellen.
