Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim: In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Today in Palestine the number who have died has exceeded 1100 people. They say that out of these more than 300 are children, including those infants below a year of age.
A few days ago, some Israeli soldiers told civilians to take refuge in a house and a day later; when they were around 120 people inside, they shot rounds of shells from a tank, destraying the house and killing 30 people, and a small boy of 13 years was telling the media of how they had been starved for so long and he began listing the people he knew who had died in the house...
For the past few days Israel has been using illeagal phosphorus weapons, which cause a fire which cannot be put out easily, because spraying water on that fire causes leathal fumes and doesn't reduce the fire.
The war crimes taking place are major and pictures of children who have been deliberately killed are plenty. What is happening is wrong and should be stopped!There is no excuse for what Israel has done and is continuing to do; rockets fired can be prevented by other means, killing civilians is not one of them. Israel has prevented food and medical supplies from reaching the civilians, then has come in and mercilessly killed more than 1100, any one supporting what they are doing or even acting neutral and saying that they deserve to defend themselves is blind!
As a person who may not have influence to change the entire situation, we are put in a position where we can either try to do something small or to ignore the entire situation, I urge you to at the very least have this in your hearts at all times, people are dying, children, women, innocents, civilians. A prayer once a day, a thought of the situation, a conversation started among friends, keep the fire of Imam Hussein (AS) alive in our hearts!!
Those who do injustice shall be punished rightfully by the Most Just! Let us pray that our Imam of this time returns to us quickly in our hearts and in reality so that he can provide victory to the true worshippers of The Almighty!!
When Bush said that he would launch a "war on terrorism" it was such a contradictory statement because of the fact that by sending American troops to all four corners of the globe, U.S. were the ones causing terror in the hearts of so many, thus wouldn't he have to fight himself???
Thus Zuhairs View:
Israel are oppressing the people of Gaza and Palestine as a whole, and have been doing so ever since they occupied the territories which did not rightfully belong to them.
May Allah give the people of Gaza Sabr, and provide them with a relief which is quick and long lasting so that they may continue their lives in peace. And may we all be guided unto the right path, on which are the infallibles and away from which are those who are unjust.
