Lights-Out In Gaza
Israels decision to close the Gaza border has meant that fuel and humanitarian aid (amongst other things) are not reaching their destinations. Due to the shortage of fuel, Gaza’s only power-plant was shutdown pitching at least 800,000 of its 1.5million residents in darkness.
When I say darkness, I refer not only to the lighting of candles and fires. I refer to the hospitals, clinics, water-wells and factories. I refer to the dread and blackness experienced by Heart patients, cancer patients, babies, dialysis patients and others who will be embracing oblivion as we speak.
Israel’s policy is simple. Stop shooting rockets and we’ll open the border. Reminding me of the Nazi policy in northern Italy during the second world war. Killing 300 Italians for every German. Israel fights fire with an inferno.
The U.N’s voice is as weak and windy as always. The same U.N that claims sanctions on the same people Israel is now dowsing in terror. It is beyond me. As an ex-dialysis patient myself, my knuckles are white in anger at this latest affront on basic human rights. This isn’t about politics, its about respecting the foundations of our rights as human beings.
I cannot relate to the plight of the many, I will limit myself in remembering those dialysis patients who will be desperately awaiting treatment tonight. Their minds not bent on the destruction of Israel. But in surviving.
