Festivity Turning Into Bitterness

Yesterday was Eid, the much awaited festival that marked the end of the month of Ramadan. I celebrated it with my family like many other muslims around the world. Today even when the hangover of Eid was not completely over there was something that caused a deep pain in my heart. Something that perturbed me to the extent that I felt sad and really let down..

The positivity of eid and the festive mood took a backseat….

It was an article by a Gaza Civilian sharing his horrifying experience that he (along with others) witnessed yesterday night. It was a true tale of horror. Even while the rest of world was celebrating Eid, there was this particular building in Gaza that was witnessing death. The bombs dropped near and around the building made the occupants huddle together. The shattered windows, the shaking walls, the light of flames, the deafening sounds of bombings…they were experiencing all this and were waiting for their final time. What a moment would have been that. I shudder even to think at the prospect of me being caught up in such a situation.

I just hope this massacre comes to its end. Lives have gone, buildings and homes turned to rubbles, places desolated and people shattered. All this is painful. Being a human it makes me sad to know about all the horrifying incidents doing rounds in Palestine. Bloodstains, rubbles, corpses and signs of destruction everywhere.. I feel its some kind of sadistic pleasure that the Israeli troops are experiencing with their ongoing killing spree.

My human mind fails completely to understand how cruel can a heart be. It seems the Israeli troops have started enjoying the slaughtering game that they have ventured into. Killing scores of innocents and ruining a whole city into debris.. needs ‘no heart’. Only one deprived of human heart can remain untouched by the plight of Gaza. The pogrom continues and how long it will go on is uncertain..

The end is destined for all. All the innocents whose lives have been cut short by the powerful shells and bullets will get what they deserve in the other world. Let the devils become more devlish and let their heartless actions continue. They too will see the inevitable, they too will depart to the next world with their own deeds. The injustice done and actus reus they are doing will pay them back.
