The More Eloquent Source

A few days ago, I read the letter addressed to the children of Gaza, by the British member of Parliament Naz Shah, who represents the Labor Party. The power of the message lies in that its writer, from the heart of the silent world, condemns those who are silent in the world regarding Israel’s continued aggression against Gaza. The letter, from A to Z, is a deploration of this world that seems as if it is sitting in one of the Roman death arenas, savoring seeing children taken off by hatred from their parents’ embrace, and thrown to the beast. Is Gaza the entertainment of the world?! Where is the freedom, justice and equality that it extols? This is complicity in crime, says Shah. Who will give back to the children of Gaza their right to dream, their right to aspire to a future they desire for themselves, to which no one has more right than them? There are children, ten thousand or more to this day, whose killing “entertained” a world that was supposed to be a source of inspiration to them, but they were the more eloquent source.
