Don't Cry for Me Israel

This is not the cry of a Palestinian from Gaza Strip. It is rather a sarcasm from Türkiye, voicing it for both. As if a mother would say it loudly to her daughter so that her bride will hear it too.

Soon, God willing, the war between the Israelis and the Palestinians will be over. Both of them will settle and learn to live next to one another. At that time, one wonders who will also be saying “Don’t cry for me Israel!”

Palestinians and Israelis will forget what transpired between them in the 2023 War. Tutsis and Hutus of Rwanda reconciled after nearly a million in Rwanda was slaughtered. Why should not these two with only tens of thousands of victims.

RWANDA GENOCIDE

In 1994, the Hutu ethnic majority murdered nearly a million people in Rwanda. Most of the victims were among the Tutsi minority. In the end, the Tutsi-led Rwandese Patriotic Front gained control of the country. Tutsi Paul Kagame became the president.

By then, more than two million, mostly Hutus, had fled the east African country. They became the refugees, some in Europe. All the while, they also became the exacerbating the full-blown global humanitarian crisis, with ripple effect benefits to be played “elsewhere”.
