I must take you back to the bitter memory of siege of Sarajevo. Capital of a small nation that was struggling against brutal siege by Milosevic's army.

The nation was predominantly Muslim, the world remained an onlooker till it figured out how to ensure decapitating nation so that it cannot be identified as Muslim.

This happened between 1992-1996.
Today it is 2008 and the place is Gaza. Only the date and place has changed but the game remains the same. The world is still an onlooker trying to figure out how to decapitate a democratically elected government in Gaza, Palestine.

The world has remained silent when the Israeli put up a concrete wall around Gaza making it a large prison. I fear that the fate of Gaza might be the worse then that of Sarajevo. Sarajevo atleast has state character.


Gaza is 20kmx6km wide strip of land and many times smaller then Sarajevo, many times weaker then Sarajevo. The world at large wants to present slaughter and misery in Gaza as nothing. It wants to belittle the fact that more 500 people have died. More then 2000 injured. Not by acts of God but by acts of people who believe its their this right to subjugate and rule.

These 500 are the ones who have made to the hospitals.

What about the one who never did?

May be just like Sarajevo the people of Gaza must fight on for their right to exist.

Like the world i am waiting and watching.
