I could tell much, much more. For five days now, destruction has not stopped. Destruction of human lives, homes, infrastructure, roads, bridges, communications. This war is the biggest disaster that has ever happened to
This is not the time to discuss. Radical action is needed. We are asking for a cease fire. At this point, we don't care who is right or wrong because it is pointless. Anyone can find enough arguments to prove that he is right and that his opponent is wrong. Anyone can apologize for the slaughters that are happening under the excuse that it was not intended. Words are very easy to manipulate, talks can last endlessly, but talking is the last thing we need to do right now.
At this point, we are not addressing Lebanese, French, Americans, Israeli, Canadians, or whatever. Nationalities are the last thing that counts. After all, our nationality is only a matter of what land we were born on and what kind of ideas we were exposed to since our early age.
We are addressing human beings. We cannot sit back and watch all the suffering that is cumulating every minute, while the people who can actually make a difference still believe there is time to wear suits, shake hands and have very deep and serious conversations whether to stop murdering human beings or not. The answer so obvious… Shouldn't human well-being be our first and foremost concern?
This is a call for immediate action.
Please wherever we are, let's get into action. Petitions, manifestations, sit-ins, whatever is possible. Right now, passiveness is the biggest crime. It is human life we are talking about, and all human beings are part of us, whether we accept it or not.
