Bush’s Visit To The Middle East

15 January 2008

Bush’s visit to the Middle East is perfectly showing the world where Bush stands concerning each and every Arab country, and is proving -yet again- how unfair and unjust his statements, decisions, and most importantly his actions have been and continue to be regarding the region.
But still, one way or the other, Bush is made […]

Survival Of A Dead Body

13 November 2007

Just came across an impressive post by Laila, reflecting the overall situation in Gaza nowadays, which can be summed up by saying that Gaza feels like a dead body!
One particular sentence caught my attention, it was when Laila quoted her neighbor Heba; Laila reports: “Heba says the Palestinian people’s will to survive never ceases […]

Crimes Against Al-Aqsa

10 February 2007

Despite the happy news about Palestinian fractions signing the unity government deal, one can’t but feel humiliated and heart-broken for the miserable crimes committed against Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Again and again and again, Israel is crossing all limits terrorizing Palestinians and destructing their land with the exception of nothing, not even the holy sites.
Once again, people are […]

Clashes In Gaza

19 December 2006

Watching the heart-breaking news of violence in Gaza, showing Palestinians fighting each other and causing the death of so many innocent people, it’s so easy from the comfort of one’s own home to “condemn”, or call Palestinians different kinds of things such as “stupid”, or “uncivilized” or “savages”.
But what did we really do to prevent […]

Palestine-Family.Net: A Virtual Homeland

03 November 2006

At a time in which Palestine and its people are being deliberately crossed out of history, maps, dictionaries and books; a time in which Palestinians are denied the right of returning to homes they were forced to leave; a time in which “Palestine” has become a politically-banned word and a socially-controversial term; it’s in such […]

A Quote…

02 August 2006

“On July 28, 1989, we kidnapped Sheikh Obeid, and on May 12, 1994, we
kidnapped Mustafa Dirani, who had captured Ron Arad. Israel held these
two people and another 20-odd Lebanese detainees without trial, as
“negotiating chips.” That which is permissible to us is, of course,
forbidden to Hezbollah”.
