Letters to Gaza (part 1)

Dear Israel, . I see you've managed to stop an unarmed Humantiarian Aid ship without killing anyone. Do you seek praise? I praise you not. . Your blockade against Gaza is nothing short of a slow, sure genocide. I hear you allow no cement to enter Gaza because "it might be used to build bunkers". True. But it will also be used to rebuild homes and businesses and roads. All of which you blew up with your air strikes. Is your ultimate aim for everyone there to live in tents? To travel on roads of rubble? To have no jobs because there are no businesses? If so, you are succeeding fiendishly. . Why ban paper from going into Gaza? Are you afraid it will be used as kindling for fires? And why are books banned as well? Do you think illiterate Gazans will be easier to control? You are wrong. . Israel, your heart is hardened and black. What do you think will go through the minds of Gazans as they watch their children and loved ones starve to death? Will their thoughts go to changing who they vote for in the next election? No. Instead, when all hope is gone, they will think only to strike one final blow against those who caused the destruction of their family. And that involves a vest of explosives and a bus ticket in Jerusalem. . Yet you are right. When the last Gazan has starved to death, no more rockets will rain down on you from there. Alas, your soul will have starved to death as well.
