Ceasefire?


Tonight the leaders of the terrorist illegal occupiers of Zionist Israel declared a unilateral ceasefire after murdering more than 1,200 lifes in Gaza; almost 1/3 children, plus a 'significant' percentage of women. The ever-resilient Hamas managed to kill a respectable 13; and in the words of BBC News - mostly "soldiers".

Undoubtedly the world will celebrate this as some sort of achievement, especially if one only looks at the issue from the selective reporting of the Western media. However I will not be surprised if Hamas kept on firing rockets into Israel's illegally occupied territories.

Why would one be surprised, the rockets were initially fired to apply pressure on the Israelis to lift the inhumane border blockage that has lasted since June 2007.

A blockade that went ahead despite a truce which agreed conditions state otherwise.

A blockade which has literally made Gaza the largest open-air prison in the world (notice the lack of "....." i.e. literally). A blockade which has left Gaza in the state of famine. A blockade that has killed children with relatively curable illness and malnutrition. A humiliating blockade which was designed to directly insult the Gazans right to life. A degrading blockade that chastised the men and women of Muslim ummah as a whole.

Nevertheless, we should see this opening as a golden opportunity. Make use of the current sentiments to apply pressure to the many goverments so that they in hand apply pressure to the Israelis to stop the blockade. The same governments who managed to conveniently overlooked the humanitarian crisis in Gaza prior to the latest occupation. A humanitarian crisis which will likely escalate to immeasureable proportion after the bombings.


And at risk of sounding excessively preachy, but I can't stress enough that we have a responsibility to educate ourselves and the people around us on the root of the issue. How could you possibly claim later on (in front of Allah) that you have at least tried for the cause if you don't even entirely understand what the cause actually is.

What's left? Not even dignity...

As for Hosni Mubarak and Mahmoud Abbas, I sincerely hope you traitors die... slowly... and painfully.

Last but certainly not least, Livni and Olmert and the rest of the Zion terrorists; remember Khaybar... remember Khaybar :) It shall happen again, Insya Allah.



P/S - notice I did not once use the word Jews in this piece, I've got nothing against Jews. In fact, I myself have got quite a few good Jewish friends :)

whats ur view about this boycotting and banning issue?

salam,

i think it is of paramount importance that muslims and humanity-lovers alike to take up this RESPONSIBILITY to boycott products from the usa and israel.

it might not work, and as far as i'm concern, it is quite unlikely to put any strain on the economies of both usa and israel given the universal lack of solidarity among muslims.

but in this case, i'm of opinion that we are not judged based on the results of our actions, but rather we get 'marks' for our efforts themselves.

i'm saying we should ban microsoft or apple, that is just plain silly and counter-productive.

but who needs coca-cola, starbucks and arsenal - some argue the workers might suffer but it's quite irresponsible for them to enslave themselves to the bullet-providing companies in the first place.

i suppose it is easier for me to say what i (strongly) believe rather than putting myself in their (the workers) shoes. wallahua'lam.

P/S - hazrina klas G? :)
