I Hate War

I hate war! I lived in a country that went through a civil war. I was 10 years old. All I could here were machine guns and rockets, from a distance. All I could see was pain and death. All I could feel was a sadness for humanity.

Today I look at Libya, Syria, Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan.
Do you really think the baker, the child, the mother, the shoemaker, the business man etc. wants war? No!!! Iraq was invaded and I could say the same for Palestine, Libya and Syria. How many innocent People had to die and for what? It’s not for fighting terrorism, it’s not for fighting dictators, it’s not even for fighting an enemy. It’s for greed, power and money.

I hear people say that Muslims are not clean and live under religious laws. Do you know where they live under these conditions? In the countries that are destabilized! In the countries invaded and taken back to the Middle Ages by carpet bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and tanks.

I hate war becaause it stops the chance for progress, for positive social change, it takes away women’s rights, it takes away human rights.

I hear people talk about refugees as if they are invaders! Well ! Try living surrounded by bombs and death. Wouldn’t you go to the nearest border, to safety? If you don’t want refugees, stop invading countries, stop wars.

I often thought that an invasion by aliens might make mankind unite, all races and religions forget their differences and just unite, but with what I see with corona virus, even in the deepest moments of despair man remains greedy and selfish.

I hate war!
