To remain silent in the face of oppression is to take the side of the oppressor. If you truly have a heart for humanity, watch this and share, hit like or do something no matter how small. So that when history will make you remember these days when innocent children by the hundreds have their brains blown off by thousands of missiles from Israel, you did not just passively approved by watching silently. More than a billion people are watching the massacre of children and resentment grows by the day as well as the divides. The only way we can ease these brewing tension is if we see that our fellowmen, no matter what religion, race or creed will show their humanity and help add the small voicee to stop this mad killing of innocent children. Those children in Gaza, maimed or killed, could have been anyones children. If silence are drawn by religious affinity, it will all the more worsen the rifts and extremisms and the language of humane will in the future be deleted from our vocabulary and replaced by justified by collective punishment. Meaning, for one Israeli soldier who died, it is justified to ruthlessly kill 300 women and children, tear off the limbs and poke out the eyes of two thousand people - to punish a million people for the fault of a few. This is not even an eye for an eye. This is an eye for a million eyes. Ruthless extremism. Is this the new norm we want in our world? Let us throw away all our constitutions and codes that mentions justice! Do not let this moment of trials pass without sharing or liking a call for a stop to the killing of innocent Children in Gaza. Its a call for peace not only in Gaza but in our world. Our worlds are now interconnected. Your call for peace is a call for peace in your communities as well. For we live in a small world and the Muslim Ummah is one. When the little toe is crushed, it may be far but the pain reverberates through the whole Ummah. To support a massacre based on religious affinity will create an Us vs Them scenario that promotes resentment, conflict and divides amongsts religious affinities worldwide. If we call for a stop to this massacre across religious and geographic affinity, then there will be no US vs them..but US vs the acts of oppression. For decades, I had been very active in advocating against Muslim extremists who use violence to achieve their means by hurting or killing civilians as collateral damage. I had been a firm believer of non violence and justice. However, with the ruthless violence being done by Israel on a massive scale to thousands of innocent women and children, how else could we argue or persuade or dissuade extremists from using violence and not involve innocent civilians. Israel had just become an acceptable model of terrorism on a massive scale and the world allows it. I think the massacre in Gaza by Israel is destroying half a century of inter religious dialogues and moderate non violence advocacy in Muslim Communities.. I fear that this world has made a good model of Mad violence, terrorism and the violence will create a cycle of violence that will reach communities all over the world, including your own. When we do nothing now, are we moving towards terrorism becoming an accepted norm in our communities? Unless you help and bring a stop to the madness by doing anything small like liking or sharing or calling for a stop to this madness, you are helping make this mad violence amd culture of terrorism a norm in the world. I do this ranting because I am a father and I want a more peaceful world for my children and i cry for hundreds of innocent children who are dying brutally everyday. Only one israeli soldier have died and more than three hundred palestinian women and children have died brutally. Is this the type of collective punishment that we want to become a norm in our world? Your silence is loudly stating Yes to collective punishment of hundreds to thousands of innocent children. If we remain silent, we are worst than the tribesmen thousands of years ago who beheaded thousands of people just to appease the gods to get a good harvest. My ranting may be one in a billion, but at least my conscience is clear. I did not just silently look in the face of absolute massacre...i shouted STOP!!!!!
