WHAT WOULD YOU DO??

wwviews.com | 14.05.2003 18:55

Say someone you invited over for tea, took over your house, demanded that you leave and give all your belongings to me. What would you do? Say I took a gun and aimed it at your child's head. What would you do???

What would you do ?

Say you invited me to your house. I come in, have a cup of tea, then while I am sat there, I phone my friends, and invite them over. You, being the polite host, don’t object, but instead run around to try and find more food and drink for me and my friends.

Once my friends arrive, I shake your hand, and ask you to close the door when you leave. You look me in the eye, bemused at my request. I ask you to leave again, saying that your house is now mine. You again, don’t seem to understand what I am saying to you. Is it a joke ? a prank ? I then pull out a gun and shoot your youngest baby son through the forehead, killing him instantly. Then I look at you again and say, ‘leave, or your children will all die’.

What would you do ?

Most people would run. They would pack their bags and go to the police, or the highest court system. Ok, lets take that scenario. You go to the police. There, you are arrested, and put into a small cell, where you watch as you older son is tied to a broom, while officers pour boiling water down his back. You can hear muffled screams from your teenage daughter, and shouting and laughing of men. You can’t hear your wife’s voice.

Sounds insane doesn’t it. What would you want to do to the people who done this to you and your house and your family ? the police are not interested. No-one throughout the world seems to be listening. What do you do ?

What I have described to you, is EXACTELY what happened to me and my family. It happened to us almost 40 years ago, but I still remember. It happened when we were asked to look after some Jewish guests in our house, in Jerusalem, Palestine.

It has happened to 100,000’s of people just like me. I am still one of the lucky ones. I wasn’t killed in the police cell. My daughter was, and my son was permanently disabled. But we are still alive.

What happened in Palestine, to lead upto the current illegal occupation, is exactly what is happening in other arab nations now. What are the US doing in Saudi ? What do they want by having their military in Bahrain ? Qatar ? Pakistan ?

Would you be happy to have a North Korean military base in London ? Washington ? Or lets say, a Saudi base ? Or a Pakistani base ? Why is it necessary ?

They are illegal occupants who MUST LEAVE NOW. You have outstayed your welcome, and the whole world can see that your only aim is to bleed the countries natural resources dry ( oil ), before you leave.

Go now. Please.
