Gaza… We’ve been endlessly hearing this two syllable word.. Getting sick of it? I mean.. okay.. We feel sorry for them.. But why on earth should we care?? That’s the question..
Being Kuwaiti, Your loyalty is first and foremost dedicated to Kuwait, isn’t it? And akeed no one will ever get over what happened nineteen years ago. And lets face it. Facts say that Palestine ma wgefaw weyana bel qazu.. So why should we care?
This is for the people who feel bad about Gaza, but don’t care enough… This is for those people who are simply indifferent.. For people who were exactly like me… Until a wise friend of mine told me this..
“Get out of Kuwait… Get out of this continent.. Get out of this planet… Look at earth from afar… and look at the big big big picture…”
Those are women who are going back home, only to find all their children dead.. These are men who are raised to protect their mothers, sisters, and daughters.. Only come home to find them gone.. One after the other…
Imagine yourself bel kwait.. Your nanny waking you up, your breakfast ready for you, talbeson lehdoom elii entaw shareenha 3ala kaifkum, grabbing your car keys, going to dawamkum bel jam3a, laughing with your girlfriends, studying with them, hanging out with them, dressing up and going out to have fun… The opportunities you’re given to be educated, to work, to gain power and knowledge… The laughs, the memories… Can you imagine being stripped from all of that..?
Those human beings have lost their homes, their clothes, their food, their friends, their families… and the most horrific thing, their freedom… all in the blink of an eye…
Lazem kelena ngol El 7emdela enna e7na 3aysheeen bel kwait… allah ya7feth’ha oo ya7fethkum;** oo allah y3eenhum… Don’t be indifferent.. Care about them… Don’t just feel bad.. Care about them.. Even by just simply reading news about them.. Even by just sending them a couple of outfits you even forgot you owned.. Even by just feeling sympathy…
