Letter from Hamas

Dear Victim,

I am writing this letter to you, though I know you have passed away and you are now sitting with Allah. I am writing this letter so that you know my intentions. I did not want this nor ask for this. I know you were just playing when you were hit by an explosion. I understand that I do not reject to this resistance. Yet, you must know that you are a casualty of war, and I never intended it to be you.

I became involved in your experience because I am the leader of this country. I run the government that is supposed to protect its children. Though, I am not the one who has oppressed your family, and killed you, I feel sadness in the fact that I cannot protect you. Everything here has gotten so out of control. And so many people believe in the resistance it would be political suicide for me to stand up against it, especially when I believe in resistance, and have formulated my power off of resistance. I hope you understand because I once was too like you: just a boy with a dream.

I have taken this stance because the truth is there are too many conflicting opinions. I do not stop my soldiers from attacking those standing out against my regime because they are trying to hurt my career. I do not allow street vendors on the street because I have to show my power to the people. I choose to not allow people to pray in the street because they are doing it to lessen that power, to stand up against me, not to stand up for Allah. I allow resistance to fight and kill because even though they do not follow my commands, they are not against me or what I represent. I have bigger things to worry about and focus on, like trying to create policies that the people will hear, agree with, and listen to.

I hope to lead this country to a place where there is no resistance to the government. Where there is no Fatah. I hope to make it so that people just listen, carry out my orders, and innocent children do not die. I hope that we become the highest power in the world, and where others do not step out and mock neither our existence, nor our faithfulness for Allah.

With me in power we can work towards justice: a peace in our communities, where people are able to understand what I am attempting to do. If people would just listen, this violence can stop and we could all have happiness again. In the future people will no longer live in fear, because they will have me by their side. They will support me for what I am trying to represent, and for the peace I will bring. I know you will not be here to see this peace, and for that I am truly sorry.

Sincerely,
Marta Simmons
(acting as Hamas the leader
of the Islamic gov).
