Dear Hamas,
When will you stop disrespecting your wives and children? All the images in their lives are full of blood, sadness, gray dust, destroyed buildings, and decaying bodies in the streets. You treat them like nothing more than servants. You frighten your children by telling them, that listening to a foreign broadcast or reading foreign material can be punishable by death. You tell your wives to report their friends and relatives who disagree with your barbaric doctrine, knowing they will be punished. You demand everything from them but in return give them destruction and death. Your whims are your law. Worst of all, you advocate eliminating the Jewish race. Have mutilations, rapes, torture, and death brought any “happiness” to your wives or children?
You have to wake up from your delirium and try to remember what it is to experience the “beauty of life.” Do you remember being in love? Do you remember the soothing sounds of inspiring music? Have you experienced laughter recently? Have you read a good book or admired fine art? What about smiles, kisses, hugs, kindness? Those are the beautiful things in life! Will your family ever see colorful flowers in their gardens, good meals with crystal glass, and fine silverware on their table, or hear the laughter of children and birds chirping in the backyard? Have you ever shown your family true love and affection?
Fanaticism, hatred, death, and destruction will not bring a better life to your family!
Will the largest facilities in Gaza be hospitals and orphanages? Is that what you are fighting for? It’s time to stop disrespecting those that you love. It’s time to build anew and leave behind the deep hurts of the past for the sake of your families. What the hell are you really fighting for in 2023? Allow yourself to enjoy life with them before it is too late. Only compromise can bring peace and the “beauty of life” back to you and the ones you love.
With thoughts for PEACE,
JG
