In desperation & hope..

Salam...

We were shocked by the news early yesterday morning.. the flotilla carrying aids to Gaza was attacked by the Israeli commandos.. and a number of aid workers were killed with a number of others were injured..When I first heard about the news, I held the tears at the back of my eyes.. these are people who are sending humanitarian aid.. they were in international water.. and the Palestinians are already waiting with hopes at the Gaza's bay..

Ya Allah.. it was too much for me to imagine.. it was too painful.. I felt helpless..

I've been following the news since yesterday morning & I hope so are you.. and keep the prayers going please.. the Israeli is trying to make it as if it was the mistake of these humanitarian workers.. take note of these & make your family, friends & colleagues understand:

1. Israeli were saying it was their right of self defense.. they said it was a threat to them so they have the right to block the aids..
what about the Palestinians? they were denied the rights to live.. they couldn't even have cement to rebuild their houses.. most everything going into Palestine need to go through Israel.. (some go through Rafah).. they're controlling the quantity of things that can go through which clearly are way less than what are needed in Palestine.. what right does Israel has to be the 'custom checkpoint'?? what self defense are they talking about? these are not warships.. these are humanitarian aid..

2. Israeli said they have been offering to channel the aids through their land..
these ships are carrying things including those that are needed by Palestinians but are banned by Israeli.. they carried medical & reconstruction supplies, children toys.. do you think by surrendering to Israeli, they will keep their promises?? what would make them allow these banned items to go through this time when they have been banning them, like since forever??

3. Israeli suspects the ships are carrying weapons to be smuggled..
I watched the news yesterday.. the reporters have been interviewing a few protesters in UK including those that have been sending humanitarian aid before.. these are people who have experiences working with Palestinians & have been dealing with Israeli.. they are peace activist & humanitarian workers that has been working together despite of different religions.. they have worked beyond the restrictions of political issues.. and one of them said she knew these humanitarian workers in the ship.. they are her friends.. she knew the nature of Israeli,that they would shoot & kill anyone without needed to be provoked.. she told the reporter that each time they are sending out the ships, each ship has to go a thorough check according to the international laws.. there is no way that they can even have a firearm in the ship..

4. the commandos were being attacked first..
why did the commandos intrude the vessel in the first place? the vessel was in international water.. they have no right at all to 'touch' the flotilla.. they weren't being shot at from the flotilla.. they were the ones who intruded the flotilla.. and these humanitarian workers on the ship had said that they would send these aids by hook or by crook.. of course they wanted to protect what they're carrying even with their lives.. of course they were defensive & volatile when the commandos started arriving one by one onto the vessel.. they have no weapons other than what they have in the flotilla - metal bars, knives & whatever they could put their hands on.. if they have firearms as accused the Israeli, they probably would have shoot even before the commandos landed on the flotilla! amazingly no Israeli was shot dead.. commandos with full tactics & strategies have shot dead a number of humanitarian workers that have no firearms on them.. what a way to show that they are commandos!

As we already know, the Zionists have been successful in spreading propaganda before.. they are manipulative & I suspect they would be as manipulative as before in this matter.. so be proactive.. we need to make as many people understand the true situation.. we need to start fighting the idea that they're trying hard to put into the minds of people (that they are not entirely guilty in this matter).. use whatever media you can.. the plain basic truth is that they have attacked a humanitarian aid in international water & have killed aid workers who were trying to protect themselves & the belongings of Palestinians..

And on top of that, keep praying to Allah.. for He has the power over all the things..

'Do they not see that Allah , who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent.'
(meaning from al ahqaf,ayat 33)



In desperation & hope, I turned to Allah..
