Tree of Life

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. 

     I once wrote about the act of serving for ones nation, this could be through the military, or even part of civic duty. Whilst I do question this duty from the point of view of one's immigration status or not, and citizenship, I do think that one's duty extends beyond status, citizenship, or civic duty. This is derived through our human character, morals, ethics, and also stem from what one values. Active service members, military, citizens, or those serving in some shape or form, understand when one should protect international relations and interests, and also when national interests are at the forefront. 

     This thought can be related to the mass shooting that took place in the Tree of life synagogue, in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh. On a Jewish community where 11 individuals were killed. Whilst I do express a deep concern about what has happened and happening in Gaza, Palestine, and the  Israeli occupations, and hope for a peace process; to put forth blame on innocent citizens or individuals belonging to the Jewish faith for the occupations happening abroad, the bloodshed in the Middle East is not accurate. They are not responsible. It is leaders who are allowing violence to continue, and are not trying thier best for peaceful resolutions, or even abiding to the human rights of the vulnerable, in these regions according to International law. Most of the time the innocent become the victims of mass murders, because groups or individuals who conduct these are also trying to convey a message to leadership, Governments, and those who hold power.

Moses in Arabic Text

   It is with these words I offer my sincere condolences to the Jewish people for the suffering that has been caused, in a state of worship. May you heal, may the community, and even nation realize that divisions create more divisions. Divisions allow others to prey on this. When there is unity, there is strength. Regardless of religion, or faith; a society and nation that values pluralism and religious freedom has every right to protect, honor, and defend this right and freedom.
