Shame On Us!

Would someone please explain to me what the hell are we doing? letting people simply die without giving any damn! have we become THAT coldblooded?
To hell with the boring speeches, to hell with the stupid conferences, to hell with the useless summits, to hell with the protests!
Gazans are starving, and what are we doing? nothing but the usual; eat like pigs, gather in restaurants and cafes to eat and drink like pigs, invite people over to eat like pigs, host fancy dinners, parties and weddings where people stuff themselves to death!
WE ARE PIGS!
We act all concerned for a few days then life’s back to normal. We show off our patriotism by our so called “donations”, but we give no shit whether those donations actually made it to the target or not.

People, the situation in Gaza is DISASTROUS!  Something needs to be done immediately! But who cares, as long as we have our food, our water, our medicine, let Gazans starve to death.

Just in case you don’t get the picture, here’s a tip:
“If the people of Gaza remain cut off from the food aid on which their survival now depends, they will face starvation.

They are now essentially out of food; the water system is faltering (almost half the population now lacks access to safe water supplies); the sewage system has broken down and is discharging raw waste into streets and the sea; the power supply is intermittent at best; hospitals lack heat and spare parts for diagnostic machines, ventilators, incubators; dozens of lifesaving medicines are no longer available. Slowly but surely, Gaza is dying.” …EI

Would someone please explain to me how NO BODY is being able to help? is it possible that the US, Europe, ARAB STATES, and the UN are all HELPLESS?
Arabs, oh Arabs, we talk and talk and do nothing. Not even one country is being able to interfere and end the siege!  Or is it that we too have fallen for the stupid Israeli rockets excuse?
As Saree Makdisi explains: “All this is supposed to be in response to Palestinian militant groups’ firing of crude homemade rockets into Israel, which rarely cause any actual damage. There can be no excuse for firing rockets at civilian targets, but Israel was squeezing Gaza long before the first of those primitive projectiles was cobbled together. The first fatal rocket attack took place four years ago; Israel has been occupying Gaza for four decades.”

Shame on us! It’s true we’re not the ones who are cutting food, water and energy, but we’re watching without doing anything, and to me, that’s as bad as the crime itself!
