It is very easy to talk, especially when one has no skin in the particular matter. That is what makes it so easy for certain parties to stick their most unwelcome, uninvited unconnected noses and mouths where they proceed to blather oh so piously, spreading more disinformation, more hatred, just what is so needed in this very twisted world of ours. On the other hand, those who indeed are connected, bone to bone, are the very ones who do not speak up and out, for the greatest percentage of their commentary would perforce be critical of Hamas and the 'innocent' Palestinians who would not know innocence if it smacked them in their bloody face and hands. Instead, it would have to compliment the Israelis, confirm the truth of their statements and assume the proper blame for this bloodshed.
Why has it taken so long for the UN to condemn the rape, the vicious brutal raping of children, gang rape which tore the women apart? Why have they finally been shamed enough to come out with a particularly weak statement, unbelievably including Palestinian women in the weak coffee statement they publicized. They conflated the brutal, animalistic rape of the Israeli victims with the endemic rape and violence in Moslem, Arab, society, perpetrated upon them by their own 'innocent' angelic friends and neighbors.
In fact, even more outrageously, they claimed that Israelis were the actual perpetrators, in disguise, so as to instigate a war, to wage it against the Palestinians. Well, hate to bust your bubbles, and hope you did not bet too much money here, but it was not the Israeli soldiers who did the raping. Look into your own men and their ethos for the truth, but, as usual, your allergies to the truth prevent you from doing so, even though of course you really, truly, deeply want to do so. Ha! Finally, the UN and its particular Committee responsible for aid for all women, finally, had to acknowledge somehow, that oh yes, their men simply acted naturally. Oh, so proud you can be.
Moving along. Aha, of course, the Israelis began this war. All they apparently want to do is have their own killed off and in turn kill Arabs. Well, if that were so, why do they cry so at funerals rather than ululating triumphantly when your children die purposely killing others, encouraged to do so, and you ululate. You vow to give your other children to their "cause" and the celebratory rifle rounds are let loose. At Israeli funerals, burials of their killed, there are only cries rending the heavens, tears splashing upon the ground, sobbing which tears at the insides of all present. No threats of violence and revenge. Only grief and the constant question: Why? Why?
The constant question remains, echoes in the air seemingly forever. But what is one supposed to do when thousands are killed, hundreds kidnapped, tortured, brutalized, traumatized for the rest of their lives - if they live through captivity. Not a sure thing, as can be seen in the reports of kidnapped victims' deaths, traded like baseball cards, and the subsequent deaths of fierce opponents - 10 months with a killer gummy smile, a powerful tiny 4-year-old big brother, and a frantic mother. Such brave opponents are they not, these 'innocent' Palestinians, Like the UNRWA teacher who had her own captive. the latest trend. Innocent - oh, for sure! Just ask them and they will concur.
Of course, they offer to trade, one Israeli for mounting numbers of prisoners of violence and worse held in Israel. So they can turn around and do it all over again. Meanwhile keep up the lies as they did not send the proper agreed to numbers of kidnapped, nor freed all of them and as for the men and the young girls and boy cadets of the IDF, I shudder. And shudder some more. May G-d have mercy on them.
Cowards all, forever. All they need do is stand up and present themselves as the fierce men they claim to be. Step out from behind the shield of civilians. Step out from the hospitals and schools, the mosques and the centers, wherein you hide. Do that, and the war will stop, then and there. But they will not. Much better to hide behind others and allow them to die. Of course!
The answer to this I have not. My answer would probably tend to be of much less patience and definitely less tolerance for the rest of the world busybodies with no right to direct the war the Israelis fight for themselves. Go find another war somewhere on the globe. There are certainly enough, more than enough, to go around.
There is another why I cannot answer, one that is causing me great grief, beyond understanding, beyond belief. It is not normal to be discussing end of life plans for a 13-year child. It is so wrong and how much more so wrong when it is my sweet golden grandson. I am broken. We all are broken as we begin to converge into the city where he lives. There is nothing more to say other than hope, pray, shout, demand, plead for a miracle for this beautiful child. Please keep up your efforts for this. There is yet time for a miracle. Enough time to get that miracle, that nes meyshamayim - the miracle from the heavens. It is our last hope.
Pray with us, for Yitzy. We love him so.
Answer the pleas of so many, now multiplied by so many, so much. Heal our Yitzy, our so sweet treasure. We need him more than You.
HEAL, CURE YITZY
