Warsaw to Gaza

On the day the world marks the third International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Gaza goes into its 10th day of complete siege. Don't take the news of the biggest jail break in history too seriously, The siege is still on, fuel, food and medicine are still low.
"Let us never take our human rights for granted," says Ban Ki-Moon, the UNSG. True, and let us, on this day and everyday, think about those who's cannot enjoy these most basic rights. Since the siege was established, more than 70 persons have lost there lives due to not being able to receive medical treatment. By who? by the country that boasts one of the most advanced health services in the world.
On this day, and every day to come, we should know about those who continue to dwell in their past, turning the future of another people into a mirror image of what they passed through.
The thing about human suffering is that it is all equal. No one's pains are more sacred than others. If you really knew how the residents of Warsaw Ghetto felt on that November 1940 day, you will sure know how Gazans felt on the 17th of this month.
You can only honour the memory of those who died in the Holocaust, by 'never again' allowing it to happen to another people. If only those who say 'never again' just do it!

Never before

Never before in contemporary history has there been a siege on more than one and a half million people, A siege that can put at danger their lives, and the world has stood there and watched. What is being allowed to happen in Gaza is an unprecedented. To let this happen, in the twenty first century is just an indication of how morally corrupt the world is.
In Gaza the main power generator engine has shot down. The second and last is due to shot down in few more hours. All of Gaza will go into the dark. That includes hospitals, which will not be able to continue to care for the patients without power.
Gaza is low on food and clean water, with the lack of power, it is hard to imagine how long it will take before the situation really turn into a humanitarian crisis. Children in Gaza went out in a demonstration asking the world to "stop killing [them]", but if the world doesn't interfere that's exactly what will happen.
