Gaza dark nights


Israel is back from a 2 year vacation to its duty; its duty in terrifying Gaza and turning its days into nightmares. It just needed the knock on its door to start another bloody scenario. And here they go! Israeli warplanes have carried out dozens of air strikes on several parts in the Gaza strip in response to the militant rocket and mortar attacks at Israeli cities by the Palestinian resistance.

Actually, two years of relative calm haven’t made us forget the pain and the grief we had in the last attack on Gaza 2009. We still haven’t forgotten the horrible sounds of (F16s) warplanes, apaches, artillery shells, nor the voice of babies’ cries  we heard after each bomb. What annoys me the most is the sound of DRONES! They are very noisy to the level that makes me sick! We can’t sleep as they keep buzzing over our heads all day and night! It’s so sad to find yourself going through the same thing again. Just imagine that you’re beaten up by someone and you’re standing there while being attacked without any ability to defend yourself or your beloved ones. It kills you deep inside when you realize how  weak and helpless you are, thanks for Israel.

The attacks are back again, and the horrible sounds of the warplanes are back, too. And we’re again standing still not knowing what to do, not knowing how to raise our voice to ask for rescue. The most offensive raid was when the Israeli jet fighters bombed three children playing football near their houses in Shijaia neighborhood. I just can’t understand! Didn’t they see before bombing that there were kids in the place? If they did, and I’m sure they did! Then why did they claim that it was by mistake, and that the shelling only targeted Palestinian militants? I wonder, is that what Israel calls “SELF-DEFENSE”, killing children? Is that what it means? Israelis are allowed to kill innocent kids by mistake, but Palestinians are never allowed to cause a single annoyance in Israeli cities whether on purpose, or “by mistake”.
Palestinians are never allowed to raise their voice; we’re never allowed to say NO! No for violence, no for attack, no for day and nightmares, NO for Israel’s terrorism! Here we are searching for hope, and here is Israel forcing us to forget what hope is…
Today, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have decided to cease rocket fire against Israel. But I still wonder, will Israel cease fire against us, too? Or they are still bloodthirsty?

    It’s a normal thing for Israel to commit crimes against innocents and children, so we’re not surprised any more !

    am speechless
    coz I know how horrible it must be living on the edge of it and the feeling of helplessness u get coz u can’t do anything to defend ur selves. Although I’ve never been in such a situation of being helpless to defend my self yet here so far away from all of u yet so close, I feel PARALYZED. I wish am with u, I wish I can hear it all, feel it all WITH U :”(
    Am sorry Yasminit 2lbi for what ur going through

    Hi,

    You know how i think about You and Your People.
    All i can say is that my thoughts are with the
    Palestinian People.
    We try to raise awareness overhere but its going
    agonisingly slow, people bringing up the holocaust, not relizing that israel is commiting
    its own holocaust.

    You are in my heart, you all are.
    Hang in there…

    Christian.
