Week of March 22, 2024, Wrapped Up: “Police Investigating Assault Against Muslim Cornell Student”
As we navigate Ramadan individually and collectively as a community, we must consider the struggles of everyone else. For this week of March 22, 2024, we pray that the trajectory of unfolding events will be in line with people’s goodwill and our moral compass.
Here are the top six news that you should check out for this week.
“Dermer: Israel Will Enter Rafah ‘Even if Entire World Turns on Us, Including the US’”
Here we are, witnessing another week when Israel does not take the entire world’s will and their biggest allies’ demands into consideration, the same allies that aid them with weapons and supplies for them to carry on their missions.
“British Surgeon Describes Children Suffering ‘Appalling Injuries’ in Gaza, Demands Immediate Ceasefire”
It is beyond appalling to see that children’s sufferings have not yet led to a permanent ceasefire. Not only has it been months for children to witness unimaginable atrocities firsthand, but also painful in every shape and form with all sorts of unspeakable harm inflected onto their bodies.
“‘If I Were Injured There, the Best Thing Would Be to Die’: An ICU Doctor’s Devastating Mission to Gaza”
Bear in mind that this is just one person’s account of what is happening to Palestinians. Now imagine being faced with all sorts of damage firsthand. Imagine being the person who gets to live in a tent, and finds no anesthesia, no food nor clean water, no gauze, or no sanitary or menstruation pads. Imagine being incapable of protecting your loved ones or feeding your pet.
“Police Investigating Assault Against Muslim Cornell Student”
I respect how Cornell President Dr. Martha Pollack is handling the situation alongside the IPD but, again, this is not the first nor will it be the last time when we get to see our Muslim communities being targeted with all sorts of hate crimes — and they need to stop.
“Let’s Name It: Not Just Islamophobia, but Anti-Palestinianism”
This headline deserves to be framed and hung up on a wall because of how it resonates with many people’s unspeakable sentiments. By now, we are witnessing an ever-surging influx of people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and milieus — including celebrities — standing up for Palestinians. Even so, what ends up happening is that they get shamed and stigmatized for picking the victims of all these unimaginable atrocities committed in the name of the “war on terror.”
“American Muslim Groups Plan to Boycott White House Ramadan”
We are fed up with all the ongoing negotiations about how to come about a ceasefire. A ceasefire that can let innocent civilians rest, heal, and hold tight to whoever and whatever is left of their families should not take weeks, albeit months like this. Imposing and implementing a ceasefire is not complicated; it is the focal center of the ICJ ruling that everyone seems to have forgotten about.
As we bring the week of March 22 to a close, we hope you will keep Palestinians in your supplications.
