Imagine
Imagine your nearest airport being bombed. Imagine bridges and roads around you being destroyed. Imagine power plants, electricity, hospitals, government buildings being destroyed and sewers that stop functioning. Imagine no water coming from the tap. Imagine no food or medicine or outside humanitarian help being allowed into your country. Imagine a rain of bombs falling over houses, churches and stores so that ten, twenty, fifty civilians are killed every day.
Imagine an army kidnapping half of your government and taking them out of the country. Imagine the same army every night firing sound bombs above your roof so your windows are blown open, nobody can sleep and your kids getting stomach pains from pure stress. Imagine having to pass through military checkpoints every day to get to your job. Imagine being refused to travel outside your country. Imagine a concrete wall, eight meters high, being built around and inside your city. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and being told that you have five minutes to leave your house because its going to be demolished by the armys bulldozers. Imagine international sanctions because you voted for the wrong political party.
This is what everyday life looks like in Lebanon and Palestine right now. This is just some of the ways that the Palestinian and Lebanese people are being collectively punished by the military supreme Israel. The latest weeks we have heard Israeli officials claim that what they are going to do is to bomb Lebanon 20 years back and to make sure that no one in Gaza can sleep. And this goes on right now, right before our eyes.
What would happen if lets say Iran or Sweden or Russia invaded or occupied your country? What would the UN, USA or EU say and do? What is it that makes Arab lives Palestinian and Lebanese less valuable in the eyes of the world than your life and our lives? Why arent we doing anything? The Israeli occupation of Palestine and the attacks on civilians in Lebanon are serious and obvious crimes against international law and human rights.
Övrigt(På svenska):
Idag har jag mått lite illa. Troligtvis pga medecinen som jag har tvingats börja med igen. Jag försökte hålla ut men förnuftet fick ta över. Jag kommer nog inte att ångra mig. Hoppas jag. Dessvärre så kommer 3 dryckestillfällen på raken inom kort, jajaja.
Repade med bandet i Lördags för första gången sen April. Det lät bättre än någonsin. Spelningarna i höst kommer att bli något alldeles speciellt, tro mig.
Nu har Jocke och jag börjat lägga ut våra filmer på Youtube. Här kommer ett litet smakprov
Hej då alla!
