Its first of Muharam, the first month of Islamic calendar and a national holiday in the country. The crescent is there just for those who are excited to observe it while the rest are inside the homes and the roads are closed because of the AGCC summit . Setting at 19:08 PM, there was plenty of time to spot it. With what I see on TV these 2 days. I could not stop myself from thinking about the people of Gaza, they have the same skies as ours, the same stars, and the same Muharam crescent moon but for sure not the same scenery. Thick black clouds of bombing and explosions are covering the skies. The Israelis have not left a single reason for people of Palestine to celebrate for. Not a Christmas star, nor the Muharam crescent. But what am I talking about! With the undiscriminating bombing in the city, the pleasure of watching the sky is on the n th order of priorities. If you come to think about it, we human take things for granted, from the piece of bread we put in our mouth, to the glimpse of that faint star in our skies. So the next time you look up to the sky, remember your next kin in humanity who are not able to enjoy it like you do .
