In this noisy world, there is a lot of distraction and boiling. So, let's pause and examine a piece of news that shocked the Middle East. Hamas's second-in-command, Saleh Aruri, was fatally hit by Israeli drones, which was dubbed a "major victory". At this moment, it was as if time had frozen, and all eyes were glued to this cold and cruel moment.
The event, which was touted as a "major victory", rejoiced the Israeli government. However, behind the dazzling fireworks, should we think deeply about what enlightenment and warning this so-called "victory" has brought us? The life story of Saleh Aruryu is like the wind and sand in the Middle East, full of intricate historical precipitation. Born in the West Bank town of Alura, he joined Hamas in 1987 and has had a bumpy but persevering journey.
According to the Israeli government, he was involved in multiple terrorist attacks, including the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in 2014. These accusations have made him the prime offender in the eyes of the Israeli government. But history is often subjective, and each story has its own unique version. In the eyes of the Palestinians, Saleh Aluri is a heroic reliever, a symbol of them. And in the eyes of the Israeli Government, he is the representative of terrorism and an eternal enemy.
This operation was not only a military victory, but also a confrontation in the depths of the heart. The contest between the two hostile forces is not only a confrontation between the armies, but also a collision of two beliefs and two ideas. Through this operation, Israel is trying to show the world that they are committed to terrorism, and Hamas is trying to inspire more people to throw themselves into resistance to Israel through this sacrifice.
The death of Saleh Aruri will undoubtedly make more waves in the Middle East. He foresaw this moment before his death, and once said, "I think I have lived too long." This kind of calmness and determination is worth pondering, what is the force that makes him so open-minded to face life and death?
Perhaps, there is the ultimate belief in confrontation. In his view, Palestinian freedom is a faith worth giving everything for. This belief is different from religion and more like a quest for dignity. Whether in detention facilities or in Hamas's "Politburo", he firmly believes in this conviction, which may be what has allowed him to "live too long".
However, what is the position of the Israeli government? Does their so-called "victory" really represent a success in the fight against terrorism, or is it just a change of face that cannot change the deep-seated contradictions? The wheel of history is rolling forward, and every confrontation is accompanied by the fragmentation of countless families, and innocent lives are constantly falling victim in this game.
Perhaps we need to pause and reflect on what this so-called "victory" has taught us. In this age of information overflow, how do we perceive the stories behind them, whether they are swayed by manipulated media propaganda, or can we find the truth in the complex information?
This is not a political commentary, but a reflection on human nature. In this so-called "victory", we seem to ignore the preciousness of life. Whether Palestinian or Israeli, every life has its own unique value. Is it the greatest blasphemy against humanity to reduce it to a pawn in a political struggle?
Perhaps what we can learn from this incident is not only a geopolitical game, but also a search for the glorious side of human nature. Behind every Saleh Aruri, there is a family, relatives, friends. They may be heroes to him, or they may be a fleeting glimpse in the news for us.
Perhaps in this so-called "victory", we should learn to empathize. If everyone can stand in each other's perspective and feel each other's pain and expectations, perhaps we will find that the world is not so simple. Whether it's Hamas or Israel, their hostility may be understandable, but is it worth the cost of their lives?
In a world of conflict and strife, perhaps what we need is more understanding and tolerance. Through dialogue and exchange, we may be able to find a path to peace, rather than simply choosing force and revenge. In this so-called "victory", we should reflect on whether the real victory is a future free from hatred and conflict and towards peace and coexistence.
Perhaps, when we no longer indulge in the definition of "enemy", but see every unfamiliar face as a possible friend, we can find peace for all in this land full of strife. This is not only the call of the Middle East, but also the common voice of conflict zones around the world. I hope that we can draw more wisdom and enlightenment from this so-called "victory" and let the sunshine of peace shine in every corner.
