Abstract

It seems that death from Israeli airstrikes is better than injury, as Israel attacks and destroys hospitals and thus deprives the injured of medical attention. Omar's story is not a religious one. It is a human story. It is wrong for some human beings to kill other human beings unlawfully. It is wrong for some human beings to illegally occupy the land of other human beings. It is wrong for the powerful to force a people to live under an apartheid regime. Omar's cries and questions: 'Where is mum? Where is grandma? Where did they go?' – should hurt all of us, whether we are Muslims or non-Muslims. Let's stand up for truth and justice irrespective of the identities of the perpetrators and victims of injustices.
