Modern Day Dystopia
dys·to·pia [ dis-ˈtō-pē-ə] noun: an imaginary place where
people are unhappy and usually afraid because they are not treated fairly;
an unpleasant future where people are often dehumanized; a nightmare world
characterized by human misery, squalor, oppression, disease and overcrowding.
______
Typically, dystopian societies are depicted through the pages of novels,
like The Hunger Games and Divergent. They give us glimpses into distorted
societies where justice and freedom are suppressed; where deprivation is a
way of life; and lives are dispensable. They ask us to imagine a society
where people are pushed to the limits of what they can endure -- and, often,
killed if they can't.
But it's just fiction, right? After the last page, it ends.
Wrong.
The most disturbing dystopian narrative of our time is no work of fiction.
It's a real place with real people.
It's Gaza. The most tragic place to live on earth.
Where some people in the world battle poverty or violence or prejudice or
intimidation or hunger or lack of healthcare or freedom of movement or
imprisonment or mass unemployment or constant surveillance or insecurity or
deprivation of basic essentials or hopelessness or poor education or
enforced isolation or disregard for their human rights or the pain of losing
loved ones, Gaza's more than 1.8 million inhabitants battle them all, every
day.
In full view of a, largely, indifferent global community.
Women. Children. Infants. The elderly. Those living with disabilities. The
innocent. They battle all these injustices every day because, for the last
eight years, they have existed -- not 'lived' -- under an Israeli-imposed
siege.
A 17-year-old Palestinian boy, detained in an Israeli prison, described the
everyday misery that Gazans endure.
"It's like being a shadow of your own body, caught on the ground, not being
able to break out. You see yourself lying there but you cannot fill the
shadow with life."
Simply put: a slow death.
Unless you've lived day in, day out amidst the suffocating siege and the
onslaughts, it's impossible to understand the despair that Gazans endure.
Don't forget: 70% of Gaza's population are refugees.
I cannot hope, in words alone, to do their suffering justice. All I can
offer are snapshots of their existence.
Imagine being imprisoned on a barren sliver of land, barely 25 miles long
and between three and seven miles wide.
Imagine your child needs urgent medical care that Gaza's clinics can't
handle. Day after day, you wait at the border crossing not knowing if this
is the day you and your child will be allowed through to seek the care you
need.
Imagine bringing up children with no access to water, a leaking sewage
system, and electricity for barely half the day. Or relying on UNRWA for
food parcels to keep your family alive.
And now, imagine, the people of Gaza live with daily bombardments as well.
More than a quarter of those killed in the last two weeks were children: one
hundred and sixty one. Hundreds more maimed and orphaned. Tens of thousands
of families shattered and displaced.
Imagine sitting around the dinner table with your family and being given
minutes to evacuate before your home is bombed. Missiles level your home.
Irreplaceable photos of your grandparents, gone. Pictures your children drew
when they were young, destroyed. Identity papers, lost. Your personal
history, erased.
Or imagine trying to save lives in a hospital with barely any medical
supplies and only rusting instruments. Your shoes stick to the floor with
blood. And then the hospital is bombed.
Gaza is in a state of trauma.
All the people of Gaza want is what each one of us wants. The opportunity to
live a normal life with dignity and security, and build a future in which
their children can thrive, dream and fulfill their potential. They must be
allowed to do this.
First, there must be a ceasefire. But, that is not the only solution. We
cannot allow a return to the hellish status quo: a daily battle for survival
. There must quickly follow a dedicated global effort to return life to the
shadows of Gaza. Crossings, open. Rights, recognized. Freedom, granted.
Infrastructure, repaired. Trade links, restored. Schools, equipped.
Hospitals, renovated. Scars must heal. Hope must blossom.
But it won't happen without the collective efforts of the global community.
They must insist on a life of dignity for the people of Gaza. Each one of us
can do something. Advocate. Raise awareness. Reject violence. Donate to
UNRWA.
Remaining silent in the face of this endless injustice makes our global
community no better than the peanut-crunching crowd in the arena at the
Hunger Games, oo-ing and aah-ing and shaking their heads at each new trial
and each new death.
Are we going to stand back and spectate while the ugly foundations of a
modern day dystopia are laid in front of our eyes? Or will our common
humanity unite us and compel us to act to help save the people of Gaza?
In saving them, we save ourselves. |

记得日寇就做过此事,纳粹对华沙的犹太人getto, 也是如此。可耻的是以色列居然把
