In Hanne Arendt 's words, we live in a world where evil has become commonplace. If people's consciences have become insensitive, that is, if their hearts have turned into hell, they can turn even peddling ideology through the suffering of others into a show of mujahideen.
If a person's soul and heart has become unshakable even after the death of children, women, or even a cat or tree, that person's life will continue with an indescribable denial around lies fed by the literature of hostility over time...
The genocide that Netanyahu, the new Hitler of our age , has been carrying out in Gaza for five months has left deep roots in the memory of the conscientious people of the world, and perhaps our hearts will never heal again.
There is also a group of people who have left their souls aside, become tails of the oppressors, and use even the pain of Palestinian children to strengthen the barbaric sphere of politics. I guess there is not much that can be done for them...
It is impossible not to get angry when we see those who lost the compassion in their hearts in the face of what happened in Gaza, those who surrendered their lives to lies like a leaf blowing in front of the wind, and those who put even children whose tiny bodies were destroyed by Israeli bombs into the political market for the sake of power and profit in the three-day world.
For example, Murat Kurum , AKP's Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor candidate , said in his speech at an event he attended in Bakırköy: “On March 31, the oppressed in Gaza will be happy, our brothers who reached out to us in Gaza will be happy. Our children from Gaza will be happy. "Hopefully, on March 31, our nation will again take a stand in favor of real municipalism for the aid we will provide to Gaza as IMM for the freedom of Gaza."
So, when people lose the rope of 'truth' and become unable to hear the pain of others, their consciences can become trapped within the four walls of politics... I think Murat Kurum 's saying "If we win Istanbul on March 31, the children of Gaza will be happy" must be something like this...
I wish Murat Kurum could have returned to power and asked why Turkish ships have continued to carry commercial goods to Israel since October 7, before he got carried away by the lust of words and became a Gaza mujahid...
Because Israel, which we continue to feed and provide logistical support with the products we export, massacres children, women and civilians in Gaza every day.
If Murat Kurum cannot listen to his heart and openly question the government's love for Israel, people will turn to Kurum and ask, "How many votes do you think the dead Gaza children will get in the March 31 election?" Don't be surprised if he asks...
Let us not forget that an outside view of Israel's murders in Gaza, without focusing on the dirt on our conscience, is just a boastful facilitation, a cheap Gaza mujahideen. These words of Murat Kurum harmed the Palestinian sensitivity in this country and hurt those whose hearts hurt for Gaza, this is the summary of the issue...
“The earth closes in on us and pushes us out of the last exit, and we tear off our arms and legs to get through.” These words belong to the poet Mahmud Derviş , the eldest son of Palestine. Let's end this article with these lines from Derviş :
Missile is from you, stone is from us
Sword is from you, blood is from us
Fire is from you, life is from us
Take your watches from our time
And get out!
Where will you live?
But don't stand by us anymore.
Where will you call your death? Take
your hands off our bread and salt. From our wound
, our water and our soil.
Take your share from our blood
. Get out!
Hey, those who follow words,
put your names on your backs, erase
all your pictures from our memories
and get out!
