Cease and Deceased

The legal term is normally cease and desist. Autocorrect even suggested that. But I am thinking of the people who have passed away during the genocide. How many people were deceased before the ceasefire was ‘agreed’. At least 60,000. If they’re connected to 8 people each, that’s almost half a million people grieving for their lost ones. That’s discounting the fact that everyone’s house was destroyed by the bombing. If you are subjected to this kind of destruction, how can you not feel anger? How can you simply cease and desist, and go on through your life. That also discounting the subjugation that is going to follow the ‘redevelopment’.

May Allah grant us all patience.

    Following my previous post on values, it occurred to me that electronic items have a very bad deprecation value. It used to be that cars are regarded as a bad asset since the value drops immediately after driven off the showroom, but I think nowadays, nothing ‘beats’ electronics. I saw an advert for the new…
