O my Lord, forgive me and my parents.

At this point, it's absurd to call Hamas anything but a resistance group that fights fair. We have seen thousands of videos and images of the idf killing, mocking, torturing and abusing Palestinian men, women and children in the most creative of ways. I have yet to see that from Hamas. Whoever condemns Hamas also condemns their right to self defence.

Hamas are made up mostly of orphans, orphaned by the hands of the idf. These people have every right to be angry, to resist living in an open air prison and being persecuted every day while the world sides with their oppressors. You'd be lying if you said you wouldn't be too, and yet they are not the ones indiscriminately killing civilians.

I'm tired of hearing 'I don't condone it but I can't blame them'. Stop beating around the bush and admit that you too would take up arms to defend yourself and your loved ones in the face of a brutal and unending occupation. Being passive doesn't bring about peace, it only allows ease in your destruction. Their rights, which were and have been taken by force for almost 80 years, can only be returned by force. That's a right none of us should speak against unless we're willingly giving up that right for ourselves.

― Louise Glück, October

اب ترا ذکر بھی شاید ہی غزل میں آئے

اور سے اور ہوئے درد کے عنواں جاناں

ہم کہ روٹھی ہوئی رت کو بھی منا لیتے تھے

ہم نے دیکھا ہی نہ تھا موسم ہجراں جاناں

ہوش آیا تو سبھی خواب تھے ریزہ ریزہ

جیسے اڑتے ہوئے اوراق پریشاں جاناں🥀

Zoozve, my beloved
