I read so often the word "shame" in recent days.
shame for a massacre of nearly 600 people in a few days, shame for the bombs dropped on homes, hospitals and mosques, shame for a battle between mules and carts against tanks, a shame for genocide ...
The genocide began December 27, 2008 ......
For the Palestinians the genocide and begin sixty years ago and lasted for sixty years ...
This is the question.
Shame comes out when there are missiles and torn bodies in front of a camera. But the indignation
to an embargo that has lasted two and a half, the inability to exit the Strip to go for chemotherapy, the skyrocketing unemployment, the inability to draw off (and then to fish!) penalty machine guns on Israelis , the block of raw materials (flour, oil included) where it is, where is the outrage over the slow death, far from the television?
The shame is he who, hiding behind the fear of a growing anti-Semitism continues to justify colonialism and occupation in mystifying or religious clash of civilizations.
The shame is in the silence on sessan'anni occupation of Palestine, on checkpoints to chekpoint, the impossibility of going to college or work, the destruction and expropriation of land, the houses of the settlers built on the ruins of Palestinian villages, torture, humiliation, on the tears of mothers who see their arrested children because we are leafleting at universities on the desperation of the wives who watch the hooded IDF to take away their husbands while crawling like dogs.
The shame is that the Muslim brothers, bound by the logic of profit and this allows those who trade with chronic genocide if they fuck of Palestine.
The shame is that Egypt does not open the borders of Gaza. Shame is
European Union of Italian politics (including communists) that bites from the guilt of a Holocaust over sixty years ago and ate out of their mind "at the age" are silent on that rather hard to sessan'anni Nakba.
The shame is in the media who continue to paint the Palestinians as "naturally" terrorists without context, without feeling the exasperation of those who have tried everything. Leila Khaled wrote: "To those that relate to the struggle for Palestinian liberation calling it terrorism, I would like: who 'that brought terrorism into our lives? We have planted terror in our homeland, and' the enemy 's did. So the words should be restored, trying, for once, to see where and why 'the terror' came out. "
The shame is ours, intimate.
For the state of Israel and its American friends, but shame is not enough .. .
