conflict #hashtags meanings and celebrities

Hello readers,

So I have decided to write so soon after the last post because its time for people to understand some 

of the meaning of the hashtags going around in facebook and twitter and why some celebrities were actually dumb to use them.

#FreePalestine - The meaning of this hashtag quite simply means: Israel should not exist, exterminated the Jewish state. You see, the bast majority in the muslim and particularly in the arab world calls the land of Israel "palestine", and basicly saying "free palestine" means there is a state that should not exist there, thus its call for the extermination of the Jewish homeland and only country (in our rightful home).

Rihanna tweeted this but soon enough deleted it. Why? probably because she has no understanding of whats going on in this conflict and escalation, and when she figured out what she said she regreted and tried to minimize damages. Rihanna visited Israel few times in the past few years holding concerts.

Zayin Malik (one direction) also tweeted this hashtag. Zayin a muslim from pakistani heritage. Many pakistanis have anti-Israel views, and they know what the hashtag really means. It is possible, that he shares those views, and he decides to keep his tweet on. Hindu-Indians and Muslim-Pakistanis have their own debates about this conflict while most Indians pro-Israel and Pakistanis are anti-Israel. (Yeah pakistanis are more about anti-Israel, anti-west ideology, not pro palestinian do not make this mistake).

#PrayForGaza - A call to pray for Gaza. Praying about what? this "hashtag" basicly means that only people in Gaza are hurt and suffer, and it implies its someone outside fault, someone like Israel.

Yeah, so like we proved again and again, Hamas kill its own, and when he doesn't he puts them in the line of fire. They are human shields that Hamas are responsible for their death. Also Hamas don't want to cease its fire. But wait, if you pray for Gaza, why dont you pray for Sderot and Israel, what about the children that died in Israel because of Hamas? what about the children that lived under the threat of rockets for 14 years? What about the 3 teenagers kidnapped and murdered last month by Hamas?

Its pretty stupid and hypocrite to pray for only one side if you want peace and humanity for all.

Selena Gomez was ignorant and un affected by the loss,  suffering and tragedy on the Israeli side. She prayed for Gaza and when she learned she is ignorant like her friends. Its not about just being trendy (because its seems most celebrities tweet what seems trendy without further exploration and studying not because their opinions are actually solid and based on something)

She then corrected this for praying for all humanity and peace. 

#GazaUnderAttack - So this hashtag basicly says Gaza is under Attack from the outside. Its based on the #IsraelUnderFire hashtag really. So is Gaza is the target of the attacks? No. Hamas is the target of Israeli attacks. Who choose to put his facilities, rocket launchers, weapons storage, and hide and fight from a city and populated areas? Hamas did! They chose the battleground. Who put civilians in the line of fire? Hamas. Who destroyed schools, hospitals and neighborhood by their own fire in the last few days? Hamas. Yeah Gaza is under Hamas attack.

So those are the main anti-israel hashtags - used ignorantly by naive and ignorant people, or maliciously by pro-terrorists. Their major goals are:

1. Associate and link between Hamas the terrorist organization and the palestinian people. The palestinians don't want Hamas themselves anymore. Hamas don't protect the palestinians, they dont fight for them, they fight to kill Jews and destroy Israel, and according to Mossab Yousef a former high-ranking Hamas officer and the son of one of its founding members the end goal of Hamas is to destroy western civilization and create a new Islamic caliphate.
2. De-legitemize Israel, its existence and its right to defend itself. They try to portray Israel as the offensive side, ignoring facts like Hamas refusal for peace with Israel or acknowledging Israels existence,  Hamas escalated this situation, Hamas killing palestinians and using other as human shields, Hamas trying to commit a genocide to the Jewish people. They ignore the fact that Israel is trying to disarm Hamas, Israel wants to end this conflict, Israel do all it can to save lives in both sides, Israel protecting its citizens.

So now you know more about the anti-Israel and pro-terror hashtags. Don't fall to this trap.
