Wow. So Israel has a great PR team that knows exactly what the West is interested in and how long our attention span is! Israel pulls out of Gaza on the eve of the biggest and most anticipated event in modern American history, the Inauguration of soon to be president Barack H. Obama.
Israel allowed western journalists into Gaza yesterday, knowing that the destruction and horror they were going to witness would be of little interest to their biggest backer, the American public. It is just another war to Israel and to the American public that is wildly apathetic to the horrors of war. It seems that we can pay attention to the war if we are being affected physically. May Allah forgive us.
On this day of action, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we all need to stand up to injustice to the oppressors in this world and if we can't stand up to them then we need to stand up to our own nafs that oppress our hearts. WE must never allow those who physically oppress and take away our rights to oppress our faith in Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, with Allah swt, this dunya (material world) is temporary and this bag of chemicals that our spirit carries around is nothing but for use in this sensory filled existence. Do not live here. Live for the akhera (afterlife).
