People denied of justice!

The Palestinians are returning to Gaza since the cease fire was announced by Israel and Hamas.  

When hundreds are returning to Gaza from their asylums where they spent a year or more, what do they find in their home towns? 

A devastating look, most of them having no trace of their houses; and others with partially destroyed houses and many with empty shells of their homes with no household possessions !

As I walked in our garden, I found the above rose flowers in a shrivelling state, at the end of their bright and colourful presence for several days. 

What appalled me was the 'no aid policy' of the USA articulated by the president and the neighbouring countries turning the other way, when hundreds would be living in Gaza in make shift conditions with no permanency of shelter or provisions to restore their lives to normalcy. 

The victims of war continue suffering unjustly. I feel lost that the United Nations Organisation appears unable to be proactive towards the rehabilitation of victims of war!

How can the nations of the world despise human life this way! 

How can Israel be so indifferent and stubborn to deny the Palestinians their territory to continue as a nation!

The voice of those, who take sides of the Palestinians is not strong enough to influence the nations, who are in a position to offer humanitarian assistance!

When human beings loose the humane approach to life and living, we return to a 'barbarian' culture! The rich nations of the world are into conquering the moon, mars and the outer space. But they are indifferent towards their hurting neighbours in Gaza!

There is a contradiction of justice and peace in the above approach!

I hope nations of the world would arise to make it easier for the Palestinians! I hope Israel will let the Palestinians live in Gaza and make that their homeland!

In a garden, if there are only withering roses, it suggests that the garden is left unattended!

Is that what the well to do nations of the world are to be known for, when the history of this season will be written for the future generation- that the wealthy and prosperous nations allowed the Palestinians to suffer  even after the war!

I wish the nations of the world declare war as uncivil and do everything to restore wellness to people who are victims of war!

The above rose bushes in our garden with the flowers in a withering state, remind me of hundreds of bruised and hurting families, walking with their children and shoulder bags, towards Gaza in search of their home.  Who caused these families to wither! The government of Israel and mindless behaviour of Hamas!

Now we add agony and despair to these families, if nations with resources do not come forward to extent a helping hand to redeem their future!  

Will the nations of the world share their humanitarian help to people of Gaza or be prisoners of the policy of the American president of 'no aid to Palestinians' !

Let voice of reason and compassion prevail!
