BLOODIED IMAGES OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA

   

Pray for Gaza. Mungkin kita tak mampu berperang bersama-sama mereka, tetapi sesungguhnya, DOA kita mampu mengiringi. Don’t stop from praying for them. They all need our prays. Sesungguhnya senjata umat Islam adalah DOA.

   

[(MUST SEE)] Bloodied Images That Don't Hide How The People Of Gaza Lay In Utter Ruins

 

It's been a week since Israel's continuous attacks on Gaza. As a result of the air strikes, over 150 Palestinians have been killed so far with more than 1,000 wounded.

But those numbers don't really convey the true horrors of what's happening right now in Gaza. Neither do most of the photographs you will find in news media.

Buildings have been blasted to rubble, yes. People are broken and mourning. Those things must be documented. But too often, we hide from the most graphic scenes of violence and death.

While Palestinians have been killed by the shelling, so far, no Israelis have died in the conflict. But one man was seriously injured when a rocket hit a gas station in Ashdod, south of Tel Aviv.

• The dramatic escalation of violence follows weeks of tension after the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers and the revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager, reportedly carried out by a gang of Jewish right-wing extremists.

The images on television are dramatic. As The New York Times reported, Shlomo Brom, a retired Israeli general at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, compared the situation to a “Greek tragedy in which both Israel and Hamas are running toward something that neither wants.”
