Today I was as tired as hell, and I put on the alarm, thinking I wud drop dead. But then I couldnt sleep. I started to think of an incident today,,and it just put in several other thoughts. Today when I went to office, a colleague asked me, Hey u post so much about Palestine, how come? Then he added, But its good. And I thought to myself, it is true. For the past week, most of my posts r on that issue. Do u wonder why? i hav a friend in facebook from Palestine who posts their situations, then and there. He would post about 2 of the Israeli soldiers getting killed (compared to the 400 innocent civilians in Gaza!) and after few moments, it wud b in the news. He would post about how doctors at Gaza r falling apart, at the tragic site of those wounded kids. And its a sight powerful enough to make any fall on their knees! He wud post about how his cousin was killed in a bomb 3 days ago..and the cousins mother died of grief...just a day after..he would post about the missiles, the bombs, the fear (what if the next bomb hits him, or worse, somebody he loves). He is counting deaths out loud thru his Facebook, and wondering who were those people who were killed in the past one hour, did he know any of them, etc. When this is so depressing, why do I keep these posts on my homepage? I can just choose to ignore and live the life with posts about random things that I used to write on everyday. But, believe me, after u witness these- u just CANNOT ignore As a Bangladeshi I feel that we r closer to Gaza (in spirit). Just four decades ago, we had undergone oppression and achieved freedom. i was not even born then, but I had heard from the senior citizens those frightening days of 1971 war- I remember how my mom told me that my grandparents n my aunts had fled from their houses, which was set on fire, to b sailing on boats- near which corpses passed by!! I mean, its almost that feeling (I can sense)- the fear, the agony, the hatred, teh worry- when one is oppressed... I wud just ask the people reading this..may b there cud b something, just something we can do (because its obvious since u hav read it upto here so u also probably care for #palestine). May b u cud think of som kinda strategy, an economical one, a social stratagem, anything that may avert these attacks, that may #savegaza. I mean, we all are (in the world) waiting fr a miracle..may b the answer to all these can cm from anywhere, even u! Lets keep them in our prayers. Ameen.
