After more than a month, people from different religions are suffering in Palestine. The so called leaders of the world are making this war to be a religious war but in fact this is nothing but a way for one racist group to take land from the Palestinians. As South Africans we understand the events of apartheid, therefore it is hard to understand how any South African today can stand with the Zionists understanding the history of our country.
It is unfortunate that leadership today is chosen based on the wealth of individuals, yet morality is not considered. Leadership is hypocritical, taking no stance against the injustice happening in the world, but through words speak to people about their principles stating that they stand by truth and not falsehood. Morality is simply defined as principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour. The question is then do you stand with truth or falsehood, it is that simple?
We would like to take the opportunity to thank our donors and the team for all their support in allowing us to feed 2,500 people from the communities of Khayelitsha, Vrygrond, Retreat, Milnerton, Ottery and Lavender Hill taking the total mouths fed to date to 198,400. May our working together to feed the impoverished, orphaned and destitute be a guidance to others in order that we together can be a benefit to humanity.
Palestinian people today are teaching us what faith really means, despite their significant challenges and being humiliated recently being forced to leave their homes. They remain strong while the world stares not understanding how the Palestinian people are able to withstand the oppression and bloodshed. We reflect on our challenges that we experience today, which is small in comparison to theirs.
Clearly, wealth does not make us strong and content, instead proper morals will help us develop perfect faith. The Palestinian people are opening our eyes, let us lift our hands in prayer that the Almighty grant them success.
