Hello Everybody

No, this post is not discussing the famous 1982 Pink Floyd’s album; rather it is discussing the current Israeli assault against Lebanon, which is approaching its second week (14 days!).

1. Intro
First of all, if you didn’t read my previous post yet, please take few minutes to read it as the current one is build over it and I hate duplicating the words.

For those who had read the previous one; you will find some duplication of words because some of my comments shall be mentioned again but this time in a separate post.

2. Overview
Okay, let us start I intended to describe what Israel is doing with the world “assault” instead of the common word “offensive” which is widely used via the majority of news agencies; because what is happening in Lebanon can’t be described as offensive only; it’s rather a complete assault against a country which is a member in the U.N. since 24th of October, 1945 while Israel is a member of U.N. since 11th May, 1949. [source = U.N.]

Israel � with total support from its colleges worldwide � is twisting the truth, and wants people to forget that they are occupation forces. Yet Israel was declared as a state on 15th May, 1948. Such declaration came as the according to The Balfour Declaration signed on 2nd November 1917. Later Israel became member of U.N. on 11th May, 1949 (one year after declaration of the state).

I’m not willing to discuss the history or the political situation in this post. However, I just want to mention the dates because history is a good starting point. Talking about history, since the declaration of Israel as state until now, the successive Israeli governments was to shape the world opinion to support Israel against Arab, because they � Arab - are “terrorists” who want to destroy Israel. Very funny how the Zionists twist the truth and want people to forget that they are occupying Arab lands specially after 1967.

Okay, a worldwide fact states that Israel is a member state in the U.N., but what did this country � represented in their leaders � offer to the word except killing civilians in Palestine and Lebanon with its arsenal, killing children and women via their warplanes, destroying cultivated lands with bulldozers and abusing prisoners of war inside its jails and finally, destroying the entire infra structure of a U.N. state member “Lebanon” in the name of Self defending.

When resistance reply, the Israeli say they are terrorists, and should be blamed! So funny how occupation force is talking against the legal resistance forces and world is just watching and legitimating the actions. Legitimating actions is not only by directly supporting the Israeli statements, but I consider people who are listening to one side only ,Israel, and ignore the other side of the problem, Arab not only Lebanese, I think they are making the situation worries. At least, the 1st team is clear.

Sorry people! Killing the innocent people in this brutal way is not a self-defence action at all. It’s barbaric action, which can not be legitimated under any mean or within any mind that really care about humanity.

In the World War II, Jewish had been abused via the Holocaust. This is a historic fact not deny. It was illegal acts against innocent people (Jewish + others) who were killed for no particular reason except the hate!

As mentioned in the previous post, I understand well the difference between Jew and Zionist. Thereby, I don’t have this stereotype image that many people have against Muslims when they say Muslim = Terrorist.

For god sake, how can world describe the Israeli actions? Self-Defending. You may have watched the photos of the current attacks against civilians in Lebanon � and same against civilians in Palestine, which is a real holocaust. What is happening now had happened before: in Sabra and Shatila (1982) + Qana (1996), and the world is still watching. Before them, in 1970, the Israeli Air forces had bombed a school of kids in Egypt called (Bahr el-Bakar) and world is watching.

Same mentalities that do not care about any other races except themselves since 1948 until now, and still no one can dare to raise a voice against them because they don’t want to look for the situation from all perspectives.

3 Light through Dark
The U.N. had been established for the welfare of humanity after the stupid actions of Word War II, but unfortunately, when governments don’t care about people injustice will reveal as we see today in many places worldwide.

As I mentioned in a previous issue of I-MAG, I believe that U.N. is still a good place to be a real meeting point for countries to co-operate, not for countries to fight!

If you check my profile, you’ll find me mentioning that I believe � and always believe � that we must co-operate to the welfare of humanity, and to spend our efforts in building not in creating another ruins on this planet.

4. To the Israeli Nation
You didn’t proof anything yet except supporting the killing of the innocent people. Your actions + your words since 1948 until now is telling so. The wall which you are building to separate yourself from the other’s is not only placed physically on the ground in Palestine; rather it’s placed in your minds because you do not want to listen, apply force, see situations only from your perspectives and let the others burn.

If you are really looking for peace, try to destroy the wall, as the Germans did in Berlin 1989, and try to find the way to communicate + respect the others. It doesn’t matter wither you are an Oxford or Harvard graduate if you can not see what human life means, or respect the other races.

In fact, you are loosing on both: the short run and the long run; loosing peace, hiding behind the wall of fear which you had created by your hands. In fact, you are loosing everything.

5. Final Words
Human Rights means that every one has the right to live in peace on this planet, not matter what the colour, race, and faith. Thereby, they should be placed in actions among all countries, not only to be printed over some papers and became a document (ref 123/xyz) in the U.N. archive.

On the other hand, it’s very important not to judge people according to their races or their faith; rather judge them according to their words + actions. That what Islam taught us, as the final message from ALLAH (swt) to Mankind. That’s why Islam is not accepting terrorism; simply because it came as mercy for Mankind for only who want to listen. In parallel, if you are not Muslim, Islam respects you. Human Rights was placed within Islam since 622. A.D. via prophet Muhammed (pbuh) whom were insulted before because of some people who do not understand / do not want to understand the others well.

Neither me nor you can really judge the others’ intentions; rather our Lord, ALLAH (swt) is the ONLY ONE who shall judge everybody at the Judgement day according to the whole package: Intentions + Actions + Words, because HE (swt) is GOD. Those meanings were discussed in details various issues of I-MAG Magazine before.

We are not ALLAH (swt), We are not the Creator of the World
We are neither Angles nor Devils; we are just Humans
Humans = subjected to do the right and the Wrong all the time

Shall we hear and understand?
Shall everybody worldwide try to improve the situation?

Say No and Protest. Go a head; Write, and resist.
Help the refugees. Aid the people as much as you can.
Work for Humanity when you perform your role as human

If you can not do anything from this
At least: supplicate for the Creator.

Work = Think globally + Act Locally
