John Vibes of The Free Thought Project has brought an illuminating video to attention, showing a side of Gaza City not seen in the States or other Western Nations. As pointed out in Vibes’ report, Western governments, and by default the Western media, likes to portray only the negative aspects of non-NATO countries when in fact these nations are no different from our own, save the mass-destruction that’s hit many of them—much of which was caused by Western hands.
The daily lives of the people who live in foreign countries is much the same as ours, with culture being the main difference. Like Western nations, citizens in the Middle East, Africa, and other areas of the world have “thriving music scenes, talented artists, brilliant philosophers, exceptional athletes, and children that play games similar to those played by Western children.”
The fact is, if people from other countries judged America based on our crime and corruption, as we so often do with those in the previously mentioned regions, imagine the picture that’s painted; police brutality and murder on a daily basis, crime on our streets, poverty in our ghettos, corrupt politicians, and greedy corporate moguls. The fact is, these things exist everywhere, and a society as a whole cannot be accurately judged by the actions of a smaller percentage. The same rule applies to any nation.
Aside from the negative aspects, every culture expresses happiness and joy. The average citizen of every nation knows what love is, and wants only to live a peaceful existence. The people of the various nations that are currently torn by war, and terrorized by militant groups, are innocent victims who—after many of which lost everything—now find themselves hated the world over because of their religion, culture, or the color of their skin.
The following video, shot and edited by Andrea DiCenzo, is meant to capture the true essence of Gaza City, and it may not be what you expect:
