#Netanyahu Marching for the Freedom of Speech and Against Terrorism With #CharlieHebdo.

#Netanyahu Marching for the Freedom of Speech and Against Terrorism With #CharlieHebdo. 



        I think I've seen it all. Lies, irony, selfishness, injustice and double-standards. I think I'll have an amazing story to tell my grand children someday when they ask me how the world was back in my days...
I'll tell them how much of a beautiful place the world was, I'll tell them stories of great commanders who answered to injustice with justice. I'll tell them about very kind, selfless and very helpful people, I'll tell them about the international support countries could equally get... But the most important thing I'll tell them about is the fact that humans mastered the art of lying as never done before.

The time when 12 deaths stroke the world more than the biggest tsunami could ever do while others die by the thousands and no one give a damn...
A child not older than 7 crashed into pieces under what is left from his house, a father digging the grave of his 5-year-old princess because her castle wasn't built to sustain bombing. We all got used to this section on our daily News that shows a dozen more kids from Palestine crying tears of blood, a couple more in Syria freezing with no food or shelter...

Yes, I will always believe that a nation cannot overcome a crisis unless there are efforts coming from within, then help from outside will always be welcomed. I won't ask country X to provide help for the people of country Y if people of country Y aren't doing anything themselves.
I support the fact that France gets a line of numerous representatives from other countries marching oh so cutely side to side to show their disapproval towards the Charlie Hebdo event... BUT! Where are these representatives the rest of the time? Aren't others fighting hard enough to get help and recognition? Isn't a kid humiliated and frightened enough when he faces a huge armed soldier asking him to empty his school bag, to stand against the wall, to take off his clothes... Doesn't this kid need help more than many others?

Where were these representatives when Netanyahu was playing Counter Strike on Palestine last summer for example? Why isn't anyone marching for the 2000 human lives sent to their graves in Nigeria? Aren't we all humans with two legs, two arms, a body, a head, a brain (to some extent), a heart...? Don't we all need food to survive and then sit on a toilet to make some space for the next meal?
Don't we all fall into the category of "Human Being"? We love all cats and dogs independently of their race, shall we just consider ourselves cats and dogs and then maybe we'll get to that point where no one gives a damn about where you're from or who you pray to?

Some won't get protests or marches or 3 days long coverage from the media; some will bleed by the thousands and cry by the millions, but many others are still standing, not giving up, fighting for what life gave them against those who cowardly hide behind masks, guns, or expensive fancy suits.

Many still keep faith and see hope, and I am one of them.

Quoting Russell Peters for a fun ending: "The funny thing is everyone is fighting with the Arabs, and no one is beating them. You know what that means? Stop fighting with the Arabs (...) You can't intimidate them. If you can't intimidate somebody even a little bit, you can't beat them".

  2. You have a point, the media kind of extended the coverage on this one a little too much
