In vain, my candle cried

 

The blockade of the gaza strip refers to a land, air, and sea blockade on the gaza strip by Isael and Egypt. Israel eased the blockade for non-military goods in June 2010 and Egypt reopened the Rafah border crossing in 2011 for persons

 

The above " definition" is mentioned in Wikipedia to explain the atrocious siege which imposed on Gaza strip since 2006 and left more than a million and a half Gazans suffer awfully under poverty, disease, lack of primal needs and darkness .

 

Alas world, The Wikipedia is so barren and double-dealing in defining Gaza strip siege. Actually it doesn't have any right to give a such definition . It is not about opening or reopening or allowance and banning. It is about human beings, agonized souls that can't find even a fresh air to pass through the silly, fucking ,world-made borders.  It is a crime against HUMANITY..

 

  It is about a friend of mine who was alive just a day after her first night as a bride, when she went to turn on the generator at the time of the power cut that immediately exploded and left her a dead body while her husband was weeping .  

A critical eye can see it a premeditated tactic and intended way to ethnically cleansed the indigenous people who have only one crime, being   " Palestinians" .

Palestinian means to die every single minute thinking and anticipating What will be the next? Who will die shivering and waiting on the cold boundaries FOR the sake OF a signature ON a paper FOR a  permission TO an urgent operation?

Palestinian means : a pale face with a settled grief  inside  helpless eyes above vanished cheeks .

 

Unfortunately the position of the  international law is absent -as usual--,  while the Arab countries are more than aware not to awake  Israel's anger, the issue of the children's of Palestine is not the issue of king Abdulla, nor Obama .They are not their children. Therefore it's only THEIR  issue , Palestinians, to scarify with their blood and souls underneath  the hammer and anvil, but Many are not even fortunate enough to be able to live this life.  

 

Neither the words could be enough to curse, nor the humanity to bear. Gaza siege is the epic which will never be written, Tantalus' agony that accompanied the Palestinian issue since the birth, and the Trojan War of the twentieth first century that is resurrected to shape the story of  holy land. I am certain that she tightly held her fourth-months baby and put her other three children under her sight, then she was cursing the flames. Perhaps she was shouting at her husband to search for a shelter or to play the role of the saver. If that's happened it was in vain. The father passed away and the three children  too. The fire was wild when the flames were up. At the end the mother kissed her baby and both went through endless sleep.

They WERE a nice and simple family.  Their plight at that night and other nights was to find a candle to shatter the darkness and displace the time till the electricity come at morning. Unfortunately all of them were burned before seeing the next day. At that early morning I was waiting a myth to take  place, a  phoenix to come out from the flames and  shout " here, I am !",  but the result was nothing , all of them weren't a phoenix . I know that I am exaggerating and I am an extra-dreamer. But even though I am certain that their souls still hovering in the immortal sky like a phoenix singing psalm of immortality.

 

"Concerning nonviolence: It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself, when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks. It is legal and lawful to own a shotgun or a rifle. We believe in obeying the law." Malcolm X.

 

To Malcolm X

I am a Palestinian, or let me be  precise I am a Gazan . My neighbors where KILLED. The government says " The killer  is the candle",  and the sentence is to kill every candle in our darkness. But I need LIGHT.

 Somebody says "There is no light just the siege.".

 Others say " You are terrorists Palestinians and we won't open the borders. You will use it to make weapons" ,

" Deal with Israel in a non-violent way, then the siege will end" somebody's comment

Sir Malcolm X give me A RIFLE to kill  the non-violence
