What do you see?


We saw: an illegal occupation, a war against the defenseless


They saw: militants trying to holocaust them

We saw: ethnic cleansing, brutal annihilation of men, women and children

They saw: desert barbarians, philistines, pests that needed to be eradicated

We saw: Helicopters, snipers, militarised naval forces and warships on the offensive

They saw: one Yemeni with a khanjar and cried Al Qaeda

We saw: A peacful humanitarian mission, carrying aid to besieged people – prisoners in their own land

They saw: terrorists threatening to break a blockade

We saw: an act of piracy – brutal murder of innocents – crime in international waters

They saw: harmless IDF soldiers defending themselves

We saw: the State of Israel conducting Piracy on the high seas in the Mediterreanean to bring an end to Gaza

They were blind!

They thought of themselves as the global policemen and raged war killing innocent people.
Have faith in God, he'll heal your wounds.
