AND
A CALL TO HUMANITY
IHMS EDITORIAL
The world is witnessing a new holocaust, injustice, and inhumanity in Palestine. Israel has unleashed a combo of barbarism against the Palestinian people. It is the highest level of genocide in the 21st century when humanity is perceived to be civilized, non-barbaric, and democratic. The epic of the extermination of a group of people from their homeland like what happened to the Japanese in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Aborigines in the USA, Canada, and Australia, the apartheid in South Africa, as well as, the human tragedy during the slavery from Africa, is also unraveling in front of our eyes in Palestine now.
Regardless of our ethnicity, creed, race, and nationality, this is the time to come together as humans, even with an iota of humanity, to stop the daily terrorization, injustices, and atrocities the State of Israel has been committing for the last 75 years. We condemn all forms of violence against any group of people globally, however,
The Devil and the Evil
The aggressors and the occupiers
The so-called chosen people, devoid of humanity
And, the democratic nations, betrayers of human rights
With unjustified causes and actions
Obliterating the People of Gaza
And, cleansing the Indigenous Palestinians
Invasion is occupation
Occupation is aggression
It did not start on 7th October 2023
But, in 1948, 75 years ago
Colonizers always loot and confiscate lands
No amount of justification justifies their brutal actions
Clamping Palestine with inhumane seals
With record-breaking, daylight atrocity
Scoring high in the crimes of the century
Killing the innocent and the blissfully unaware
Harassing the old and the children
Bombing patients and disabling women
Murdering the powerless with advanced weapons
Using chemical weapons, white phosphorus
Suffocating the Gaza Strip,
Fragmenting Palestine
With relentless genocidal actions
By deniers and the cursed people, the Zionists
Israel becomes the Nazi of the 21st century
Surpassing by all measurements, the Nazi Germany
In its inhumane actions and atrocities
Killing the innocent by sea, air, and land
Incarcerating the young and the old
Terrorizing 2.2 million innocent souls,
Dividing Gaza as killing chambers
In shadows cast by cruelty’s bitter hand,
With siege and starvation stand
Indiscriminately killing children and women
Bombarding hospitals and refugee camps
Zionists have declared their intentions
Obliterating the People of Palestine
Annexing the remaining pieces of Palestine
Unheard off in human history
Palestine alone, fighting the criminal quartets,
Israel the Goliad, the US the Pharaoh
The British being the lead colonialist
The EU, the union of fascists
The tiny David, Palestine, standing alone
Against the messengers of Lucifer of the 21st century
And, the winds of injustice and inhumanity.
Against all odds,
Our soul is peace, say Palestinians
Our weapons are justice
When we die, we are at peace
Fighting against peace is impossible
They who fight against peace will never win
They who fight against justice will never win
No matter how big and armed they are,
They will never silence peace
Palestine shall stand,
Protecting its homes and land
It will have the upper hand
And, the ultimate victory
Insha’Allah, by the Will of the Almighty
No matter how big and powerful
No empire ever lasted in the history of humankind
Palestine seeking peace and justice
Palestine crying out for humanity
Oh! The world, where are you for humanity?
To counter, a collective punishment
Of years of suffering, a story untold
In the lands of Palestine, where blood-like rivers flow,
Silent screams in the night, when darkness grows,
The carnage of innocent souls, hopes turned to dust,
Hell on earth in front of your eyes
Unleashed by the chosen people, devoid of humanity
Supported by the so-called democratic nations,
Validating the apartheid Israeli nation
And, supplying weapons of mass destruction
Oh! The world
Palestine is calling more than ever
It is heartless to remain undisturbed
It is heartless to ignore inhumanity
And, keeping silent against a combo of fascists.
Yet in this world, a flicker of light and humanity,
Calling upon peoples with an iota of humanity
To show the flame of compassion, burning bright,
For in your and our hearts, the power to unite,
To mend the wounds, to make things right.
Let us rise against the tides of despair and massacre,
With love, kindness, and prayers, show you care,
For in your unity, we’ll find the will and the ways,
To heal the wounds and brighten Palestine’s days.
In the face of atrocity, let empathy reside,
In the grip of inhumanity, let compassion be our guide,
Against the winds of injustice, we shall stand,
Hand in hand, we seek a peaceful Palestine,
A free Palestine, a free Palestine
We demand and command.
Let’s conclude our editorial by quoting the common adage from the Abrahamic religions, “Love for humanity what you love for yourself.” There is no sub-human. Treat people courteously, equally, and humanely. Remember, no matter how big and powerful they are, no empire ever lasted in the history of humankind.
Peace and Justice for Palestine.
