The priority list.

Thousands of bombed homes and no cement….Old, young, men, women and children living outside with nothing to cover them….No electricity and lack of water…The kitchen being an open fire fed by everything that may burn long enough for simple bread to be baked…

This is the reality and the background picture for the simple people in Gaza right now, but it is still not enough for Hamas and Fatah to bring the concern for the people to the top of their priority list. They are doing everything in their power to get others to make that move. They want the Palestinian people to be on top of other nations’ list. They want other countries to take that responsibility…..
In the mean time they are busy strengthening their own positions and they do it by weakening the other.
This is like a super slippery soap opera. The tragic thing about it is that it is not fiction.
It is like a broken home where the children are left completely to themselves suffering while the parents are quarreling about who is the best parent as they are shouting and blaming their children’s misery as being the neighbors fault?????????

All it takes for life to get back on track is to leave Israel in peace.
How come that is such a hard decision to make?

“We desire death as you desire life” was the words to Israel by Hamas in the beginning of the war. If that is really what they want, then what are they complaining about? That is what they got….
Death is not only about “bodies without life” but about no hope for the future. It is impossible to reach to the top of the stairs if every stepping up is continued by stepping two down.

The ones that are killing the Palestinians are their own leaders; They preach lies into their ears from the day that they are born. They keep them down in self pity instead of encouraging them to look up and to see the possibilities. They want to keep them in a miserable situation for the world to feel sorry for them while the leaders have nice houses, big cars and live their lives in luxury. They want them to sacrifice their lives as suicide bombers but make sure that their own children are not volunteering.

If this had been the situation in a fiction soap opera it would have been taken off the screen. People would have complained that it was too sick and too stupid.
But this , unfortunately, is the reality in Pallywood.
