Victory of Death, Destruction and Truth

The latest attack on Gaza wiped out over 10 000 homes and damaged many others. Over 150 factories were transformed into ruins including the lone power plant. Thousands of people were murdered and many more were injured, many of which lost body parts. Nearly the entire population (1.8 million) lost their minds. At least it seems that way to me because this enormous spectacle of death and destruction is called a victory by the victims. A victory! A few more victories like this and nobody will be left to celebrate.

Perhaps it’s just the opposite. Calling this a victory is the only way to keep from losing their minds. What else are the people to say? Trapped in the concentration camp and battered again for the umpteenth time with little prospect of escape and realistic prospects of a new attack in the near future, what are they to say? And who are they to say it to? The rulers of the world can barely utter a ”Whoops.” Before the smoke and dust have settled the murderers steal another large chuck of land, for the umpteenth time, while the rulers of the world, for the umpteenth time, say, ”Naughty, naughty!” and slap the thieves on the hand.

I certainly don’t know what to say, but at least I know not to trust anything the rulers of the world have to say. Perhaps the Palestinians mean that the obvious barbarity of the thieving murderers together with to the obvious indirect support of the rulers can be regarded as a victory for truth. This truth comes with a bloody price. You get what you pay for.
