it seems that I have been living with many misconceptions, lately I seem to understand things better, during my life I rejected the method of viewing life, reality, or incidents from a single point of view, I thought Europeans have better educational institutes, and should have variety of ways and methods of judging and evaluating issues, but it seems that being shallow has nothing to do with being educated or not, it is a part of human nature, the sad reality the way ideology works makes the majority of people look stupid, at least this was the conclusion I came to last night.
During the last years, I have seen and heard Arabs with low education clapping and shouting long live Chavez, long live Venezuela, I am not discussing Chavez and his country now(good or bad it is not my case), but the issue is; when you ask those hailers what they know about Chavez and Venezuela, they would probably say no word, some might not even know where on a map Venezuela is. It didn’t really come to my mind that there would be a day I meet a European with the very same disorder, praising and hailing something they don’t really know!
Some might think I am an egoist and a Narcissist who doesn’t accept any kind of criticism as my friend Maram would always say. I don’t deny being both egoist and narcissist, but I accept criticism since it would help improve my work in the near and far future. But to come to a conclusion to accuse me of being a part of an imperial campaign, an Americanized Zionist isn’t any kind of criticism.
I find it kind of interesting that there was a western person who claims being a big supporter of Palestine, but for my surprise that person didn’t notice the aspects of the article except the criticism of Hamas, for that person Hamas is unquestionable. I would accept this from a fanatic Hamas member, but it wouldn’t sound normal from a western. War dear foreigners isn’t fought from behind your computer screen, if you are so much into Hamas move to Gaza, experience what it is to live here under the gun of Israel and the gun of Hamas, then call me a Zionist if you wish!.
For this I would quote my friend Jasmine “Look into my eyes, tell me what you see? You don’t see a damn thing, cause you can’t relate to me. you’re blinded by our difference, My life makes no sense to you! I’m the persecuted one. You’re the red, white and blue. You worry about your education and the bills you have to pay. I worry about my vulnerable life and if I survive another day.”
Another friend of mind Murad said: “for many westerns they care about the outer look – Democracy-, but consequences and people suffering as a result of it, is nothing more than numbers in newspapers for them”
That European suggests that the only oppressed people in the middle east aren’t the ordinary people of Gaza and the west bank, but rather Hamas leadership and members. The only terms I can understand this through is "falsification" of truth. These people are more dangerous to the Palestinian cause than Israel and western media together, they offer westerns with justification, the war and the cause isn’t about oppressed women, children, and youth, it is not about human rights and apartheid. It is just about a war with a militant group called Hamas .. that’s what Israel is fighting and oppressing. In the name of supporting Palestine these people indirectly send messages to people around them, in a way worse than the official western media since they speak on the Palestinian behalf to the west!
we all know that smart bombs aren’t really smart, there is a margin of error, in addition to the fact that in many cases the death zone of the explosion exceeds the limits of the target, but that person indirectly suggests that smart bombs are really really smart, that the explosion wouldn’t hurt any innocent, the bomb would even control the rubble and broken stones and keep them away from innocents … so Hamas is the victim and target … the rest of Palestinians in Gaza are living in Paradise .. and the Palestinians in the west bank who live in Bantustans are living in the 7th heaven.
I wouldn’t let Palestine and the Palestinians be your scapegoat, so you appear as educated and thinker in your society and among your friends! But I ask since you are judgmental and smart How far did you really experience oppression either by Israel or Hamas?
