Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, a newsletter is issued every day about its victims. The relative difference between the lives of the people of Gaza and the number of Israeli hostages does not change almost. Every day, a hundred dead from this side, at least. The meter is escalating as if talking about a match in bird hunting, open massacres from here, and told the killing of 6 occupation soldiers from there. It is more likely that all numbers are inaccurate, calculators are not valid, and that their death is not our death. This Arab epic will not reach its ends only when it is ashamed to assess the human soul. The killing fields will remain legitimate in the manner of Paul Pot, as long as an accident in As -Suwayda leads to the killing of 80 human in one day.
Before the Arab person knew how important it is human, these tragedies will remain numbers, separators and indecency. The Palestinian death bulletin issued by the Israelis will remain the righteous and most terrible wars. A citizen who has nothing to be sad, and whoever loses, and a citizen is born to live a humiliation, poor, lost, homeless, all he can hope for is to clap for him at his death. It is not true that the conflict is with the Israeli who killed 80 Arabs, but with the Arab who killed 80 Arabs. How? And why? 80 Arabs shot each other. On one land, under one sky and from one uterus. When is the rational Arab, he is born to live, learn, and send his children to schools, not to the roads, alleys and death.
Every day the Arab is born an orphan in Gaza. The Palestinian is born in a camp. The Palestinian mother is crying for her baby. This has become a general Arab habit as well. Why does the Arab come to this world if the scene itself is waiting for it. The peak of mercy is to die before he sees this lined world waiting for him. In a world he carries his shroud on his shoulders, his testimony on his chest, no haven, no hope.
How do these next people see us? What did we leave them? What did we do for them? Which sea of water can wash our faces?
