I watched the news today on TV, after several days without having access to TV. And oh my God, i saw a glimpse, only a glimpse, of what is happening in Gaza.
A whole area packed with civilians besieged, trapped, and pounded with explosives. Blood spilling. Screams. Horror. Broken lives, broken dreams. Pure madness.
It is really unbelievable that we human beings can do this to eachother. But let’s wake up. This is real, and it is happening.
I dont want to talk politics here, or try to analyse why this is happening, and for what, and who is to blame. I will just focus on the human side of this carnage, the human spirit.
Two enemies beating each other to death. One of them with superior weaponry and arm force, pounding ruthlessly a whole population, not minding if its bombs break one life or one thousand lives. Not minding if those who die are innocent or not. Anger and hatred in full display. Violence in its full spectrum. The human in its ugliest manifestation.
Though amazed by the arrogance and mercilessness of the attackers, it is really their complete ignorance and total blindness that is shocking to me.
Oh so ignorant are those who think they can elimintate an enemy in this way.
So shortsigned are those who can claim victory after this carnage.
So blind are those who believe they are achieving self defense and peace like this.
Little do they know that the scream of a an innocent soul dying is a million time more poweful then the most powerful bomb. For if the bomb tears down buildings and bodies, an innocent soul scream tears down the heavens and the heart of the earth.
Little do they know that the innocent soul that is killed prematurely, in horror, dies not, disappears nowhere, but remains alive to haunt its killer. Yes alive it remains, in the wounds of the broken families, in the tears of the mothers, and in the prayers of the believers.
It might appear today that one party is effectively killing its enemy. In reality, this party is digging its own moral grave with the same force with which it is launching its missiles.
It might seem today that the civilians trapped under the bombs are the ones hopelessly asking for mercy. But the truth is that the cold-blooded killers in their jet planes and safe homes are the ones in most need of mercy.
Any person with a human heart watching, would be hurt, sad and angry. But the wise man will also laugh mockingly in his heart, for he knows that the ones claiming victory have just incurred their biggest human defeat, and that the enemy they are trying to kill so ruthlessly, is nowhere else but in their own hearts.
For when you have horror in your heart, horrible becomes your life and your acts.

And when you have hatred in your own soul, hateful will be your existence and your relations with your neighbours.
Oh dont they know, that what you feel in your heart, you attract to your life? That what a man saw, he shall reap?
For this is the Law of Life, the Ultimate Justice.
...
Jesus once said, in the same land, to the same people : "Oh in truth I tell you, you should love your own enemy"
Little do they recognise, that this man was the Savior, their own savior.
He was exectuted ruthlessly, too.
...
And from my faraway island, I watch, and I surrender to these scenes of horror to which I can do nothing.
And I continue watching, but from now on I decide not to talk about it anymore.
But before I leave this subject, I want to share one song, the “One Love” song, from Bob the Rastaman who could feel it all.
"
Let us get together, to fight this holy Armaggedon
For when the Man come, there will be, no more doom
Is there a place, for the hopeless sinner?
Who has hurt all mankind, just to save his own
Believe me
One love
One heart
Lets get together
And feel allright
