Gaza 2025 - where kissing the hand that starves you will get you killed

We live in 2025 where even if you kiss the hand of those that oppress you, it still ultimately leads to death

The idiom “Biting the hand that feeds you” describes someone being ungrateful to others despite them giving help.

This sums up the attitude of the colonialist West to all they have colonised there is a sense that they should be grateful for having the good fortune to be chosen as colonial subjects. This is one reason the British still have the Commonwealth.

To go further it encapsulates the position that governments in the West take towards immigrant communities amongst their midst. Even for those born in the West, who contribute back to society there is always an underlying feeling that immigrant communities owe a debt of gratitude. That is a discussion for another day.

There is a video doing the rounds on social media (see below)

In the video an American contractor (I presume) recounts the story of how a shoeless young boy named Ameer kissed his hand and thanked him for the scraps of food he had managed to scavenge from an aid centre. Only for Ameer to be killed by the Zionists moments later.

This incident shows the patience of the Palestinian people and the Islamic values they carry. Despite being starved to near death by the very people now ‘aiding’ them, even their children remain dignified.

As values erode from Western societies and parents struggle to balance screen time, education and good behaviour, Ameer is a lesson for all of us young and old.

I wish I could show this level of restraint the next time someone doesn’t deliver a package on time or I have to wait longer than expected in some meaningless queue.

Western governments would love to use scenes of children kissing hands as propaganda, if only their allies didn’t choose to kill them first. They have done this before in places like Iraq where the basic etiquettes of a society are used as cover for apparent praise of colonial presence.

This testimony of the contractor is clear evidence of war crimes being committed. Any civilised global order would be putting an end to it and locking the Zionists away for the rest of their lives.

But we live in 2025 where even if you kiss the hand of those that oppress you, it still ultimately leads to death. Ideas such as international law and human rights so long touted as saviours of humanity have now been exposed as a facade for colonialism.

Millions in Iraq and Afghanistan died for the West to save them from their over culture, to ‘free’ them. Yet when it comes to freeing people from oppression in Gaza the Western states continue to fund a genocide.

The Islamic culture of the Muslim lands is not the problem, as the actions of Ameer clearly show. It is the forceful imposition of Western values and the genocide of the people that are.

The sad situation is that beyond a few words in an article like this, Ameer’s sacrifice will unfortunately be forgotten and those who murdered him are probably holidaying in Dubai as you read this.
