The Children of Syria are dying in shelters from the cold.
The editors of Charlie Hebdo died in their air-conditioned hall and elegant
offices.
There is no difference between death and death .. The difference lies in life.
The Children of Syria are dying every day in a game they do not understand;
they are dying in a dirty war they cannot comprehend its causes , and cannot
have an attitude to it either.
The French newspaper editors died because they had an attitude, which they
insisted on publishing , despite its gravity and offensiveness to more than a
billion Muslims around the world, including six million living in France.
The Children of Syria are still freezing in the open and the world wastes no
more than a minute of airtime to watch their bodies.
The editors of the newspaper took over the entire broadcast hours. The
leaders of the "first" world raced to give their reproachful and condemning
statements ... which they said with great sadness and bitterness, and
sometimes with strong language.
Obama observed a minute's silence for the victims of the newspaper ... but
did not stop even for a few seconds for the Children of Syria.
Putin condemned what happened and described it as a heinous crime ... of
course, he was talking about what happened in the paper ... but what
happened to the children of Syria, where the whole world knows that he is a
partner in it: how to be a human with one hand and a killer with the other ?!!
There is no difference between death and death .. The difference lies in life.

Workers in the French newspaper:
They were killed by uptight extremist terrorists.
Children of Syria:
They were killed by countries, intelligence systems, agencies and groups that
were created with the assistance of institutions and countries run by wise
people... yet, cold is accused of killing them!
There is no difference between death and death .. The difference lies in life.

In the same week:
There were dead on Saudi Arabia's northern border,
dead in an explosion in Iraq;
dozens dead in Sanaa;
dead in Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, Palestine and Yemen.
Genocides here and there and all over our bloody map.
And .. dead in Paris.
There is no difference between death and death, but .. Is there a difference
between the dead and the dead?! .. Sometimes: Yes!

This magnificent "Great West" that gave a lot of wonderful achievements and
innovations to mankind: Its humanity is faulty!
It grieves at the time of its choice, sheds tears on one scene and overlooks
the rest of the scenes.
This "West" stays firm in front of the screen to watch with concern the rescue
operation of a kitten stuck at the top of a tree, and the announcer can hardly
complete the news because of her severe grief. In the following piece of
news, she utters, without blinking an eye : " A group of western soldiers have
wiped out a whole village in Afghanistan because of (doubts ) of the
existence of a "terrorist" in a wedding ceremony in that village!
I do not believe in this humanity which is shaken by the death of a cat but not
shaken by the extermination of an entire village.
I do not believe the grief that is not because of the fall of the ceilings of the
houses on the heads of the children of Gaza during an entire month.

Gorgeous " West":

Check your list of dead and compare it to the list of the East... The difference
in the number of dead bodies you left behind will frighten you!
"The East" was, and still will, come to you, mostly in search of decent jobs,
knowledge, and a secure life .. and you grant them all.
But you come to "the East" - mostly - as a killer, an invader and a thief to steal
its wealth. How many have you killed during the past five centuries?
Did you have doubts that we justify murder at this moment ? .. No .. we hate
killers, whatever their identities and the ideas that motivate them ..
We hate the killer when he comes in a terrorist "shape" drawn by extremist
ideas and accumulated anger; or in a Western troop "shape" drawn by an
aircraft carrier that crosses the oceans to send an army equipped with the
latest killing machines ...
I do not justify; I want to remind you of the scene inside which you live; but
you do not see all its angels...I want to remind you of your hypocritical
humanity that grieves for murder here and gets engaged in millions of deadly
crimes ...
I no longer care for your dead because the dead of the East are in all corners
and you, as you know, are a partner in all that happens.
You have supported a lot of dictatorships and authoritarian regimes. There is
a dead person in every house because of your lethal weapons. You
participated in the looting of the properties of the other.
You have - despite all the claims of anti-racism - that stereotype, that deem
the other less significant !

Take it from me, O "West", the amazing, creative, artistic, innovative, colourful
and the protean:
The flame of the fire you ignite in this world, will reach out to you even after a
while !
