While most international and American attention is being focused on the possibility of Iran having nuclear weapon capabilities, the certainty of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians has taken a back seat.
Rest assured, however, that the government of Israel is not wasting a moment’s time to hasten the day when both Gaza and the West Bank, will be free and clear of those upstarts, who, after all, have only inhabited their storied land since recorded time (See Caananites, Phoenicians).
As you read this, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his willing partner, Donald Trump, stand ankle deep in a sea of blood, primarily childrens’, mothers, and the elderly. Don’t for a minute be fooled into believing that these falsely proud men ever took a two-state solution seriously, especially considering that glittering allure of beachfront properties.
Gunned down by drones, tanks, and snipers while grasping for a sack of flour, the ancient people of Gaza’s only hope is that American sentiment does an about face, behemothian political action-groups and immorally profitable military industries, be damned.
America, isn’t it high time you stood up and shouted “No” to the tyrants that order death by any means on any and all in their pulverizing way?
Nevertheless, I still hold on to the biblical story of angel Gabriel’s announcement to a peasant woman, named Mary, who has natural misgivings about God’s plan for her and us: With God, all things are possible.
