These days, Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish feels like a forgotten person.

In his home from Toronto, he was full of frustration, sadness and anger. Israel’s continued persecution of Palestinians in Occupied Palestine briefly pierced the complacency of Western political and media elites, which was just an outbreak of violence. after that.

He has been waiting for the equally complacent Western political and media elites-once for the Palestine-Canadian doctors, teachers, humanitarians and perhaps most importantly father born for flattery, awards and honor-to listen to his plea to stop Israel’s evil designs and healed Palestine’s wounds.

But few people return calls.

TV presenters and newspaper writers once told about how the tragic story of how Dr. Abuelais somehow caused the Israeli army to kill his three daughters and a niece during the invasion of Gaza in 2009 turned into a full The hope of life and the message of reconciliation, they mostly abandoned him. .

Politicians from Canada and abroad who once called him “Middle East Martin Luther King” and pinned gadgets to Dr. Abueilay’s lapel, commended him for establishing a foundation between understanding and friendliness The work of eliminating the hatred by the bridge, also abandoned him.

In spite of this, he still heard the piercing terror and familiar sounds of terror from the Israeli-occupied Palestine in 11 ruthless days.

On May 11, Dr. Abu Elash issued a press release directed at “the leaders and peoples of governments around the world”, part of which read: “In the face of atrocities against unarmed civilians, we can no longer accept silence… Now It’s time to end the bloodshed; it’s time to end Israel’s occupation of Palestine.”

No one answered.

Earlier, Dr. Abuelaish approached the opinion column editors of The Globe and Mail and Guardian newspapers, hoping that they would issue his warning that the world must Keep a deaf ear to the historical injustices committed by Palestinians imprisoned in Israel.

Once again, no one answered.

“They don’t want to tell me the truth,” Dr. Abuela Ish told me in an interview. “It’s sad and hurtful, because it is unjust to remain silent in times of injustice. But I will never give up.”

Dr. Abuelaish persists in dedicating his nature and upholds the usual etiquette and humanistic spirit.

Born in the Jabaliya refugee camp at the northern end of the besieged Gaza Strip, Dr. Abuelai knows better than most the suffering that generations of Palestinians have to endure, often a fatal price-a consequence of apartheid in Israel.

Of course, Dr. Abu Elesh also knows better than most people that the children of Occupied Palestine have paid the deepest and most indelible price for Israel’s long-term, brutal and systematic suppression.

This is why Israel’s vicious invasion of the Gaza Strip in 2014 claimed the lives of 551 Palestinian children and injured 3,436 innocent people, many of them permanent. Dismembered daughters Besan, Maya, Aya and niece Noor.

Dr. Abuelaish mainly relied on working alone to win the cooperation of Canadian labor unions, nurses, doctors, hospitals and politicians, including the then Prime Minister of Ontario and the Minister of Health. Heal100Kids was organized. This is a humanitarian initiative aimed at wounding 100 people. And traumatized Gaza children brought to Canada to receive special medical assistance. And treatment.

Dozens of Canadians voluntarily opened their homes out of Dr. Abuelaish’s apparent loyalty, trust in distrust, hope of despair, love of resignation, love of hatred, and the peace of war. And wallets to ensure that injured Palestinian children are welcomed and cared for in Canada.

Liberal opposition leader Justin Trudeau, among Canadians who were clearly impressed and moved, publicly expressed his wholehearted support for Dr. Abu Erich’s project on his official Twitter account.

In a tweet on August 3, 2014, Trudeau encouraged Canadians to join him in advocating Heal100Kids. “Please add your name to support Palestinian children receiving treatment in Canada”, Trudeau write An army of his followers.

Two days later, Trudeau posted another tweet, this time “praising” the then Ontario Minister of Health Eric Hoskins (Eric Hoskins) and the province’s Liberal government’s commitment to supporting the #Heal100Kids project “.

At that time, there is no doubt that Trudeau vigorously approved the “Heal100Kids” program to establish his qualifications for care. On the contrary, the Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper shamelessly refused to cooperate with Abu Era. The doctor met and refused to provide visas to broken Palestinian children and their families to come to Canada.

This former drama teacher is good at playing the role of a kind, caring leader and father.

It turns out that Trudeau’s recognition of Heal100Kids is as cynical as its hollowness.

In his opinion letter issued on May 22, 2018, Dr. Abuelai challenged the current Prime Minister Trudeau to keep his promise and mobilize his office resources and powers to reach out to Palestinian children in desperate need .

“It’s time to be right, Prime Minister Trudeau. Now is the time to help alleviate the suffering of only 100 Palestinian children. If you can, now is the time for you to give a speech to make what you wrote a few years ago become a reality. It’s time to put aside politics and put aside the topic. Now it’s time to do something practical. In all the ugly human slaughter, it’s time to measure kindness and decency. It’s time.

Trudeau’s response: Three years of silence and inaction.

Like most Palestinians, Dr. Abuelaish is a patient man. His patience has dried up. Today, he learned that the Prime Minister’s support for Heal100Kids seemed as short as a puff of smoke.

“It’s just words. This is a big lie.

Indeed.

In an attempt to understand the prime minister’s shocking motives, I contacted Trudeau’s press secretary, Alex Wellstead, earlier this week to request an interview to discuss Dr. Abuelaish and Heal100Kids.

This is Wellstead’s bleak and enlightening answer: “I’m not familiar with this plan. Can you share more information and where it overlaps with the federal government…”

In short: Wellstead and the Prime Minister have expanded the title of Prime Minister and have forgotten all the information about Dr. Abuelaish and Heal100Kids.

Later, Trudeau’s press secretary declined to be interviewed. “Have a nice day,” he wrote in an email.

What I can think of is the predictable amnesia that this man-made Prime Minister and his government gave to their three Nobel Peace Prize nominees to help Palestinian children recover from their mental, physical and spiritual hard work. There is no more telling prosecution than their completely predictable amnesia. war.

Trudeau and the company may want to forget, but the numbers are shocking.

More than 60 Palestinian babies and children Was killed Before the ceasefire was announced a few days ago, hundreds of people were seriously injured and orphaned. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres described the massacre in this way on Thursday: “If there is hell on earth, it is the lives of children in Gaza.”

Although Abuelaish was heartbroken, he insisted that the international community must finally force Israel to end its illegal and destructive occupation of Palestine.

He said that Prime Minister Trudeau should also agree to the restoration of the “Cure Children” initiative, which is a public symbol of Canada’s friendship with the troubled Palestinians and a common humanity.

“Mr. Trudeau can finally turn his words into action and say: We are willing to revive this initiative and treat the children in need of treatment,” said Dr. Abu Erich. “This is his moral responsibility.”

The question remains: Will Justin Trudeau remember this action?
