“Can we all get along”?
A
WikiTorial
An
Eye for an Eye or Genocide?
December 7 and September 11 are dates that will forever
live in our memories and in history books in the United States. It’s been seven
months since Hamas cruelly slaughtered/murdered well over a thousand Israeli
and other citizens, wounded many more and took more than 200 hostages on
October 7th. That date will be remembered in the history of Israel and the
world far longer than any of us will be living. Perhaps a thousand years.
A few days later, Israel conducted a siege of Gaza, then
began bombing the territory and has continued through this day. According to
many credible authorities, Israel has killed more than 34,000 people in Gaza,
wounded 8,000+ and 7,000 are missing while well over 50% of infrastructure has
been destroyed in Gaza. Sadly, there is no end in sight. As one of my friends
has stated, “it’s possible to mourn both the
Israeli and Gaza’s citizens”.
WikiLeekZ asks when,
if at all, will this unconscionable, indiscriminate killing and mayhem end and
how? In The Code of Hammurabi ( 1755-1750 BC) and later in the Old Testament
-Book of Exodus 21: 23-27. ‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ has been a well-known
and frequently used phrase in response to a wrong done to an individual or
state. It’s also termed Lex Talionis - (Mirror
punishment or Reciprocal Justice).
WikiLeekZ does not profess to have an answer…just as history
has yet to solve the intractable, destructive problem. But WikiLeekZ does seek
to call for an end to this senseless murdering of innocent people just as
WikiLeekZ condemns the Hamas murders of October7 th and its continuing combat. Has
anyone considered a cease fire under mutually agreed reasonable, fair terms?
Remember Rodney King when he so plaintively said “ I just want to say -Can we all get along”?
For weeks, Israel has told the world of its plans to invade
Rafah, the area to which more than a million mostly innocent Gazans have fled
because Israel told them it would be a safe haven from Israeli bombs, missiles
and drone attacks.
A million new people
confined to a small area without adequate food, water, shelter or medical
resources is enough of a recipe for a human disaster of epic proportions alone.
And now, Israel states that it will soon invade Rafah in order to kill every
last Hamas member.
WikiLeekZ sincerely asks how many more innocent men women
and children will be killed, wounded and have their lives changed forever? What
Israel is doing now is nothing less than committing genocide and incubating
tens of thousands of young Palestinians who will never forget what has and is
happening to their sisters, brothers, grandmothers, friends and other family
members. They too, will never forget and will continue to rain terror upon
Israeli’s for generations to come; long after I, Netanyahu and others have
passed from this vale of tears.
Should the Israeli government stop at killing another 1,000
children or 5,000 women or 20,000 Gazan citizens or more? What’s the number and the end game? And let’s
remember the wounded just as we remember the 1200 + Israelis killed and wounded
on October 7th.
Will Hamas continue its murdering of Israelis? Are there
innocent people on both sides?
This
WikiTorial IS the NEWZ of the DAY…NOT Someday
