Sabine Sterk – Love
There is one subject in this world that everybody needs but it is most complicated to define “Love.” Whether it is love between people, love for animals, material things, religions, countries, it is for nobody the same, and it is hard to understand what “real love” means or what her definition is.
A child will cry to his parents “you don’t love me” If the parents make an unpopular decision for him. But the parents will tell, this is out of love because I want that you will have a great and happy future.
My biggest love I feel for Israel, how I know it is real love? For me it is easy. When I am in the plane and see Tel Aviv approaching there is a sensation floating through my body. Tears come into my eyes, and I know where I will feel relaxed and happy. The moment I set foot on her soil my heart opens and a smile appear on my face. What problems I might have, they disappear, no more worries because I am in her arms. Besides that, the admiration I have for her is huge, from desert to a flourishing country. From ancient tribes living in huts till modern, prosperous cities. And from nomads and barbaric culture till high-tech country with lots of high moral standards.
This is Israel and this I love! Most, if not all, the achievements are made by the Jewish population, dangerous to say in today’s world, but the absolute truth.
Israel is in the middle of fights between nations and groups of the members of the old tribes that only loved hate and destruction. The Arabic culture is based on the tribes’ system; nowadays in Iraq, you still have several Tribes fighting each other and Iraq is not the only one in that..
The “Palestinians” are descendants from ancient Arabic tribes, they wandered around through the entire Middle East and now claimed that prosperous Israel belongs to them.
They love the country, they love Jerusalem and especially Al Aqsa. Jews stole it from them; Jews are the occupiers, the horrible human being. Jews don’t belong there. This is the country they love right?
Well… what is love? What is the definition of love? In my opinion, this definition covers it pretty much: Love is to become happy if the subject of your love is doing well, is healthy, prosperous, if ( in case of love for a country) is good for her people, if there is a democratic system, if there is a justice system and if the land brings enough raw materials to live.
What is the contribution of the Arabs calling themselves “ Palestinians” to this love? To this country?
In protest marches, they arson land, kill thousands of animals in their natural habitat. They kill trees, humans. When Gaza was given to the “Palestinians”, they destroyed hospitals, houses, farms, and land because it came from the Jews. They didn’t know how quick they had to bring back the fertile earth, into a sea of darkness, back hundreds of years ago, back to the huts, back to the tribe wars (Hamas against Fatah, etc).
When Muslims pray in Jerusalem at “Their” holy side al Aqsa, they turn their back to the Al Aqsa, their faces pointed to Mekka, the true holy side.
Bottom line, when you are prepared to destroy the land, to commit lies and deceive to get what you want, to destroy then this is not loving, this is pure hate. The world should be aware of this
Islam is the religion of Hate and Destruction, it is not a people and sure not a nation. Israel loves life, the only shining star in a sea of darkness. If you love Life, you love Israel.
