So the most pressing, urgent issue for the muslims. The strife of the people of palastine is shown by each arab nation contributing a cash sum of $1 for every $1230 that the West gives these people.

Where is it spent? Well we know the answers, but they dont fit very well into a picture of a opressive Israel starving a downtrodden population.

You don't know the state of the ummah in the muslim world, and thats because you've never lived there.


Muslims have gone through much more restrictions in the muslim world in regard to islam than muslims have in the non muslim world - until today in which its kind of balancing out. Why? since the colonialist era, puppet leaders have been placed at the top - they'll do whatever the leaders here tell them. so any muslim who even grows a beard or woman wears the islamic dress - is put under security check by the secret services. i.e. in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria etc.


Similarly, if muslims give money to the poor abroad - they will be kept under scrutiny by the government. many don't want that, and the ones who do - they will be arrested or killed.




Peace.

Sounds like they need a healthy heaping dose of New! Improved DEMOCRACY tm. Gets your corrupt officials whiter than white or your money back.

Killed in Cradle



The mother put him kindly in his cradle. The father bent over to kiss the chubby cheek of the five-month toddler.


"Come on! Grow up sweat heart," whispered the father Naser tenderly in the ears of Mohammad. "Our baby will grow up, play hide and seek and marry the prettiest of the girls."



"We will always love you and get you he best of clothes and toys," added his wife Eman as they kept looking at the sleeping angel.


With his innocent look and broad smile, Mohammad came to this life after five long years of patience and impotency endured by his parents.



They wanted nothing but a baby who brings joy to a life growing mundane and gives purpose to it under a paralyzing Israeli punishment and a crippling blockade.



Mohammad will not grow up; he will not smile any longer neither will he play hide and seek.




Mohamed was killed in an Israeli raid in Gaza

Palestinians Are Like Cactus


Cactus is hard, can survive without water for long periods of time, and has all these thorns on the outside with a complete mushy juicy nature on the inside.


Likewise, Palestinians are survivors who can live long without enough resources.




They look so tough while absolutely absurd and tender as all human beings are. Harder still, they stand out in resilience, totally stranded by a long sorrowful legacy of exile!



I look at Gaza people and get astonished of how they endure what they endure




Do you know Handala, the young boy in Naji Al-Ali's cartoons?


He has hair like cactus thorns as if professing that our children will live in drought.


Their life is simply a quest for survival.



Barefooted as he is and poor, he turns his back on us and on all, looking at something, thinking of something deeply, faceless in accusation. Will he ever look us in the eyes?


Will he ever grow old? Or will he just shrug his shoulders in indifference and walk away from contemplating the Palestinian cause. Entrapment that it is in a static infertile complex surrounding.

British Jews: Don't celebrate Israel's 60th


'We cannot celebrate birthday of state founded on terrorism… which engages in ethnic cleansing,' says group of prominent British Jews, saying time has come to recognize 'Naqba' as Palestinian equivalent to Holocaust


Hagit Klaiman


Published: 04.30.08, 20:11 / Israel Jewish Scene


On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day and a week before Israel marks its 60th Independence Day, a group of over 100 British Jews comprised of well-known academics, writers, actors and other public figures has launched a scathing attack against the Jewish state.

'We're not celebrating Israel's anniversary,' proclaimed the letter carried by the Guardian newspaper on Wednesday. Among the signatures of those claiming Israel forced 70,000 Palestinians into a Death March in 1948 are Prof.




Haim Bresheeth, a professor at the University of East London who organized the call for an academic boycott against Israel, playwright Harold Pinter, Attorney Daniel Machover, who filed a lawsuit against Maj. Gen. Doron Almog, and Stephen Fry.


"We cannot celebrate the birthday of a state founded on terrorism, massacres and the dispossession of another people from their land," say the letter writers.



"We cannot celebrate the birthday of a state that even now engages in ethnic cleansing, that violates international law, that is inflicting a monstrous collective punishment on the civilian population of Gaza and that continues to deny to Palestinians their human rights and national aspirations.



We will celebrate when Arab and Jew live as equals in a peaceful Middle East."


"In July 1948, 70,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes in Lydda and Ramleh in the heat of the summer with no food or water. Hundreds died. It was known as the Death March. We will not be celebrating," the letter continues.

"In all, 750,000 Palestinians became refugees. Some 400 villages were wiped off the map. That did not end the ethnic cleansing.



Thousands of Palestinians were expelled from the Galilee in 1956. Many thousands more when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza. Under international law and sanctioned by UN resolution 194, refugees from war have a right to return or compensation. Israel has never accepted that right. We will not be celebrating."

• The Key

It waits at the bottom of a trunk


At the bottom of a drawer, it waits.




It grows old, it grows old




Passing from hand to hand


From gnarled hands that unfold


Faded cloth to unveil history


To destined hands of grandchildren,
The generation in between lost...

" When the forces approached us … I still remember .. we were sitting — me, my father, my mother, my older brother, my two sisters — in the lower story of our house and my father looked at us and said:


You know guys, just go … go!


Where to go?


He said: just go …

He gave everyone of us 10 Palestinian pounds and he said .. just go ..



Just imagine how parents tell their youngest boy just go .. where to, they didn’t know

It was so terrifying …

My parents didn’t want to see us killed or to see my sisters rapped at the reputation of the Zionist forces that were spreading around.

… and the story starts from there"

No they die because they are stupid enough to get that close to a battlefield. What;s the purpose of the kids being there other than PR?

If Israel wanted to wipe out the Palestinians it would already be done. Who would stop them?
