Middle East peace

 Bruh…when will the Middle East catch a break?

That’s how we were just chilling last week and suddenly the news was flooded with reports about Hamas carrying out a massacre of Israeli civilians in their homes and villages and kidnapping several hostages!!. The bastards actually raided a music festival and gunned down so many people. The pictures, videos and stories are just horrific. Make no mistake about it, an absolutely condemnable, horrible act.

Trust Israel, they did not take this lightly and have launched a full-scale war against the idiots Hamas in the Gaza region, bombing and blitzing the region to pieces for the past week. Unfortunately, there is always a tendency to overdo it and as usual, Palestinian civilians are now caught in the crossfire and facing an extremely serious humanitarian crises of their own. It doesn’t help that Hamas has integrated themselves into the population and seem to be using the Palestinian population as human shields!

To be very fair, there are so many historical perspectives to this feud that it’s very difficult to take a side. HOWEVER, the overwhelming fact is that ordinary, helpless, and most importantly, INNOCENT civilians are being killed, displaced and suffering because of this.

It’s so bad that it has even eclipsed the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

I can very clearly remember when I was much younger and monitoring Israel’s war with Hezbollah (in the same region, Lebanon)…this was in about 2006 or so…it was a terrible time as well, and ever since then, this state of constant back and forth has never changed. Always one side lobbing missiles at the other, their Army killing the other civilians, bombs being blown up, suicide bombers, kidnaps and assaults, Hamas dedicating themselves to Jihad and pledging to “Wipe” Israel off the face of the Earth, Israel treating them like the terrorist group that they are, Iran chooking mouth where no concern them, USA supporting Israel with their full chest and it just goes on and on and on…

I’m just here wondering why we can’t all just get along and make this world a better place? Naïve I know but honestly, what good does this even bring about? The hatred is just going to intensify and trickle down to another generation of Israeli-Palestinian kids who will grow up with all the negative things handed down from their parents’ generation.

May God grant much needed peace to that region. Amen
