Once upon a time, there was a man who had a smartphone that he left in the middle of his desk. The phone was surrounded by mugs, donut halves, tissue paper, permanent marker pens, and more. A photo of a smiling toddler was displayed as a wallpaper on the smartphone. The infant was a child who recently became his child. He remarried last year and suddenly met a toddler. By the way, his current wife also went through a divorce once. By marriage between remarried people, he suddenly had a child, and the child suddenly had a new father. However, the child is still two years old, so he didn’t know the details.
The man was a mysterious figure in his neighborhood. It was rumored that he divorced his first wife due to his violent behavior. Whatever the reason, he was able to remarry soon after the divorce to another woman with a child. But now, he was looking for a third wife in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the Israeli bombardment of Gaza was in its third month, and a permanent ceasefire was nowhere in view. To many Palestinians, such talk was dehumanizing and appeared callous as the death toll still mounted. To date, more than 20,000 Palestinians were dead, 40 percent of whom were children, while almost 7,000 people remained unaccounted for.
The man’s phone kept ringing, but he didn’t answer. He was lost in thought, thinking about his past and his future. He wondered if he would ever find true love. He wondered if he would ever be able to make a difference in the world. He wondered if he would ever be able to help the people of Gaza.
As he sat there, lost in thought, he suddenly realized that he had the power to make a difference. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. He didn’t know who he was calling, but he knew that he had to do something. He had to help the people of Gaza.
And so, the man began his journey. He traveled to Gaza, determined to make a difference. He didn’t know what he would find there, but he knew that he had to try. He had to help the people of Gaza.
As he arrived in Gaza, he was greeted by the sight of destruction. Buildings were destroyed, and people were homeless. But the man didn’t give up. He knew that he had to keep going. He had to help the people of Gaza.
And so, the man began his work. He helped to rebuild homes, and he helped to provide food and water to those in need. He worked tirelessly, day and night, to help the people of Gaza.
In the end, the man was able to make a difference. He was able to help the people of Gaza, and he was able to find true love. He realized that he didn’t need a third wife. He had found what he was looking for in Gaza. He had found a purpose. And he knew that he would never stop helping the people of Gaza.
