Please Sign In To Stop Genocide In Palestine

TL;DR no amount of signatures from westerners will stop a war that is rooted on religion from many moons ago.

People are dying. The greater majority of them are women, children and innocent non-combatant men. They are people. If the media has dehumanized and vilified them to the extent that you can feel no empathy for them, you yourself are beyond help and no use to anyone around you. Your heart is dead, your brain is blind and deaf. You are not human.

Not my point, the entire place was Israel, they gave them that section to self govern, it's called Gaza or the Gaza strip, not Palestine. There's still "Palestinian" territory (claimed anyway) in Israel itself, we don't call it Palestine either.

It's not a matter of recognition but that it really doesn't exist.

Wonder what would happen if puerto rico was firing missiles at miami fl on a daily basis.

Surely you see the paradox in your statement. The land obviously exists, there's people squatting on it, we just don't recognize it, so it is a matter of recognition. I still stand by my analogy of Taiwan. I think the issue is the same, but the scales are just shifted against the territory of Palestine.

It's called Israel and Gaza, not Palestine.

It's not me you have to convince of that.

I won't be posting here anymore on this topic. The reason is the level of ignorance, apathy and disregard for human life communicated by some members offends and disgusts me. I am further offended by the complete blindness and inability of some to see the truth. When faced with it, they respond with sarcastic remarks, mockery and "come-backs".
But then again, I wasn't expecting much to start with.


Why did I post at all?
Just like you I have no immediate interest in seeing the Palestinian/Israeli situation resolved. Its not going to effect my income. I live a very comfortable life, what might be referred to in the US as a "1 Percent'er". I thank God for blessing me.

I do however, on and off, play FFXI. So we share that much as common ground.

I believe if everyone on this planet tried to communicate the truth about Palestine within their social circles, the situation would improve. Furthermore, and most importantly, I posted here because I see an oppressed and brutally occupied people, and know that my creator will ask me what I did or didn't do about it.

As powerless as I feel to aid the Palestinians in their cause, I couldn't use that as an excuse to do nothing.

So I've done what I can, and tried to raise awareness about the truth. I've tried to present examples of the atrocities perpetrated against these noblest of human beings, who have resisted a modern army supplied with the world's deadliest weapons and technology, an army that shows them no mercy, and a world that has turned their back on them. A people who have for decades stood proud and fought back, despite overwhelming odds.

Countless of them are dead, and those of them that are alive and survive carry with them memories of their lost kin.

How many mothers have seen their children torn away from them by death, and then suffered the defamation of their memory.

How many of them have been referred to by some of you here, as terrorists.

And yet, these people carry on.. carry on fighting.. carry on resisting...Just as you carry on refusing to see the truth, closing your eyes, and sticking to the reality that was programmed for you.

If just one person came away from this thread with at least a bit of doubt about the situation, that causes them to at the very least re-examine what they think they know, I will be happy.

But I think that is perhaps too much to ask. Such is our sorry state.

I have done what I can for the Palestinians. I have asked you all to re-examine the situation on your own. To research the subject and to start caring. To stop being apathetic and dismissive of human life.

I have informed you.

EDIT: A parting gift, for those that wish to understand Islam, this man speaks for me. If you are interested, or curious you might want to listen to his lectures.

It's not me you have to convince of that.

Takes some real courage to post something like that knowing people are just going to respond by laughing at you with one word they picked out.

It takes no "courage" at all to play the victim while posting absolute nonsense with every post. Everything he posted was complete fiction.

I don't need to convince anyone of it, those are the names, eos.

Unfortunately it's only a matter of time until you're proven wrong then. The snowball effect of language and all that. For example, Literally has officially been changed in meaning to reflect how people use it incorrectly. So every time a politician says Obama is Literally a Communist Nazi (Communazi?)... Well, they're right.

lay of the crack-cocaine Zic

Who gives a flying *** about the UN?

Seriously?

That could be said for pretty much anything.

The international criminal court was created by the treaty of rome and where war criminals are tried. Where WWII criminals were and are still tried.

Anyways. The majority of the worlds population 80%+ recognize Palestine as a state.

To millions of Republicans, PR is doing exactly that. Except their missiles are Boats and Planes, and the explosives, immigrants.

Israel said it would unilaterally hold fire in most of the Gaza Strip on Monday to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid and allow some of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by an almost four-week-old war to go back to home.

The announcement, made first to Palestinian media, met with suspicion from Gaza's dominant Hamas Islamists and followed unusually strong censure from Washington at the apparent Israeli shelling on Sunday of a U.N.-run shelter that killed 10 people.

An Israeli defense official said the ceasefire, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, would apply everywhere but areas of the southern town of Rafah where ground forces have intensified assaults after three soldiers died in a Hamas ambush there on Friday.

"If the truce is breached, the military will return fire during the declared duration of the truce," the official said.

The official said east Rafah was the only urban area in which troops and tanks were still present, having been withdrawn or redeployed near Gaza's border with Israel over the weekend.

Israel is winding down its offensive in the absence of a mediated disengagement deal with Hamas. It says the military is close to completing its main objective of destroying cross-border infiltration tunnels from Gaza and prepared to resume strikes in response to any future attacks by the Palestinians.

Blazed only referred to the oppressed, resisting Gazzans as "noblest of people", yet you made it sound as if he meant every last Muslim (including Blazed himself?!) over the past 15 centuries. That just made it obvious as to why you display such antipathy towards the Palestinians: it's because of their religion.

Way to judge Blazed like that as well.

With pot and prostitution being the natural resource?

Except that, unless the immigrants are from central and South America, they are actually US citizens and fully required to pay federal taxes to help pay those same Republicans payroll

Both parties aren't equally at fault, that's a ludicrous assertion.

sure you can. they're not the ones using civilians as shields

I dunno about human shields, but shooting rockets at a more powerful enemy while knowing that the retaliation will get your own civilians killed in droves isn't much better.

I strongly disagree with using rocket too, but outside of not having any other choice, I cannot believe someone would use rocket against a enemy that is that much stronger than you.
