What does the Palestinian genocide indicate?
Human rights are basic fundamental rights that allow an individual to strive and soar high up in the sky. It isn’t the mere existence of these rights that help an individual to survive. It is, the act of actually respecting these rights.
With time, we have come to realize that human rights have a certain skin color.
“Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination”
What about Palestinians then? Aren’t these rights entitled to humans? Aren’t they human beings?
Where do these rights go when a pregnant woman and her unborn baby is squished under a bulldozer? or a kid is mauled by a dog set loose? Where are these “rights” when kids in Palestine eat grass and drink contaminated water?
For decades, the Palestinians have been suffering. Children collect plastic to earn their living. Schools are ruined and there is no education.
Why have we normalised bombings and air strikes? What did the children do? Could a 5-year-old possibly do anything?
People in Palestine are arbitrarily executed. It doesn’t matter whether you have a baby or a child in your arms; whether you hold a peaceful white cloth or whether you beg them or not. Being a Palestinian is a reason strong enough to kill them.
It feels as though the tribe of Satan has been unleashed. Chaos and destruction everywhere they go.
Women are raped, stripped naked by male officers and assaulted by the Israeli Army Forces. Food and water is denied while they are kept closed behind cells or in cages in cold weathers. Innocent Palestinian children are taken to prisoners and beaten without a reason. People are randomly executed as though it were a game of choice.
So, what now? How long will we let the notion of children collecting garbage and women being assaulted exist? How long will we allow more and more children to become orphans? How long will this genocide last?
Where will the tyrants go? When did our standards of humanity fall so much? The babies will go to heaven and complain. How shall we, the ones who could’ve possibly helped, stand in front of them?
No amount of articles shall be enough to describe the agony of the Palestinians. Palestine needs voices and help.
Oh, Palestine is dying, why is the world so silent?
Will the truthful voices survive amongst the deafening noise of bombs? Will the oppressors win?
It’s a shameless rule of those in power. How shall the pride of these oppressors be killed?
Life is too short to be on every field of justice, but at least, let’s be on the right one, wherever and whichever that might be.
