A Year Later

A year passes so quick when you get older and hopefully wiser.

I decided to start picking my own brain again and let some of my pains, sorrows, irritations, joys and life's excitements out in the open.
Hope you want to join me.



Today my biggest concern is the Gaza mess...
Picture yourself in this scenario:

The country you live in has been occupied for over 30 years by people that not just decide what language you can speak, but where you can work, what roads you can travel and how much gas you're allowed to fill your car with, They finally left a couple of years ago but instead of occupy they instead built a wall around your country, preventing food, fuel, medicine and any other life supporting goods to come in to your country.

People in your country are freedom fighters and want to set it free, but instead of getting support from the world in your freedom fight, the world says that the same freedom wish any other people have the right to have is not for you to have, instead they call you a terrorist and ban you from getting food and other necessities.
The neighboring country that has occupied you and now hold your borders in a tight grip get help from the world leaders with weapons and support, and when you fight for your freedom they help the former occupants tighten the grip on you even harder.


Because of the tight grip around the borders your freedom fighters are taking bad actions, firing rockets in to the neighboring country killing 1 person.
In retaliation they come in with airplane strikes, hitting the tunnels where you secretly have got food and medicine in to the hospitals and schools, killing hundreds of people
The past 20 years the occupiers have killed thousands of your countrymen, still the worlds view is that it is your fault, the occupiers have the right to do what ever they want.
All countries in the world that have a nuclear weapon arsenal are required by international law to have inspections done ever so often, not this occupier.

The reason?
You happen to be occupied by a country that can't do any wrong, because of three major reasons.
1.They themselves were treated terrible some 65 years ago. Millions of them were slaughtered, recklessly, and by some of the greatest evil the world ever seen. Does that make it right for them to oppress someone else though?
2. Three of the worlds largest religions have their center point in the area and the largest religion has got the idea that the can't do or say anything to the occupiers because they are "God's people"... what kind of God would want his/her name attached to that sort of behavior is beyond me.
3. The most powerful, freedom loving and also most religious country in the world has somehow got their balls so tight held by this occupier that they freely provide them with what ever they ask for, from a free stream of weapons to the plain "looking the other way".

So the country that help every other country in the world reaching freedom, even going to war for other people's freedom won't see your wish for freedom but calls it terrorism...

There's one more thing,

If you oppose how the Turks were treating the Kurds, well you just didn't agree with the way their government treated Kurds, there is no name calling, you don't get blamed for hating the whole Turkish people.

If you really hated apartheid in South Africa and strongly demonstrated against the minority white government there, no one called you a Dutch hater or a white hater or any other name.

But if you oppose the way Israel treat their minority, question why they get away with things no other country would get away with, then you hate all Jews, and you even have a name, you're a Antisemitic

I just don't get it
