Gazans are HUMANS too!!

I am dumbfounded. I am speechless. I don't know what to say.

I can't believe the governments, especially democratic governments, still ALLOW a group of people to be "boxed" in because of their democratically elected government. This is a form of OPPRESSION against humanity.

For those who don't know exactly what I am talking about, I will give you the short version of the current conflict.

• Hamas, a religious based party, was democratically elected(as stated by Jimmy Carter and other UN observers) to run the Palestinian territories. Fatah, who have been around for decades got piss*d. (Excuse my talk), protesting the elections. (Just to note, I don't publicly support Hamas or Fatah, I support the democratic process).
• While Hamas and Fatah were fighting (and sometimes still are), Hamas told the Israeli government that they will not back down from their statements. Meantime, rockets hit parts of Israeli towns and area.
• Israel and the Palestinian government broke off talks at least publicly off and on for now.
• So to make a story short, Israeli government closed the borders of the Gaza territory in hopes the people will overthrow the Hamas government.
• Gazans have stuck together for the most part. However, they have been low on supplies.
• From so much pressure, some of the Palestinians blew open the border between Egypt and Gaza, and many Gazans walked over to Egypt to buy and purchase supplies and food.

So that is the current mess in short version. If you are interested in reading more about this, be sure to check out different sources of media (Arab and non Arab sources).

Gaza, stand strong, Inshallah (God-willing). You are a fighter, a role model in fighting oppression and occupation!
