Pray.

In response to KidKapital's entry a few days ago, I got myself thinking:

1. We saw what happened to the voluntary effort by Free Gaza, that got raided by Israeli Army. I don't think I should report on that, as they're hundreds and thousands of reports on that. Just use a thing called Google.

2. What I want to talk about is that, what is the actual problem? How did the war in Palestine broke out? Why did it happened? What were these Israelis and the Palestinians fight over or fight about?

3. Was it because of the land? Or was it because of contradicting beliefs? Or was it just because of sore pride? Or maybe greed?

4. I thought one of the main reason is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is said to be the holy land to both Muslims and Jewish.

5. We'll discuss #4 in the later entry.

6. Now, what can we, the citizens of the world, do about this? Protesters burn the Zionist flags, spit on it, step, pee, poo, every disgusting and extremely insulting gestures possible. Writers write in newspapers and blogs, politicians condemn on the national televisions, lawyers send memorandums to condemn this inhumane oppression, and those who can't fit in those areas protest on the federal streets in cities around the world.

7. Then what? Nothing's changed. These arrogant Israel armies have no intention to stop anyway. They've been condemned for so long, yet they were never weakened by it. They seemed to be more powerful than ever, it's like they feed themselves on it.

8. But what about the rest, the people who are on the same page as the other civilised people who condemn the Israel occupation, who believe that these Israelis are nothing but to be condemned for as long as they live, BUT, they stay at home, and did nothing in the #6?

9. I confess, I am one of the #8. Where does this confession put me into? An ignorant? An arrogant? A naysayer? A tyrant? A weak?

10. Why do we need faith? Why do we need to have faith in us? What can we do?

Haneen Zuabi: World's Most Heroic Individual is a Woman

Play this video while you read this article.


Ok... None of us understand Hebrew, but the commotion must've triggered a lot of questions.

Haneen Zuabi who is an Arab Palestinian woman is a member of Knesset, the Israeli Parliament.

She was on board the Gaza aid flotilla (Mavi Marmara) that was raided by the Israeli Defense Force a few days ago. She was released due to her political immunity.

As a member of the parliament she stood up to voice her opinion but was interrupted by other Knesset members. "Go to Gaza you traitor!" was repeatedly thrown at her. She held strongly on to the podium but later withdrew for security reasons.

This is my first discovery of an Arab political party in Israel. They champion to recognize Palestinian Arabs in Israel as a minority. The Arabs make up 20% of the total Israeli population. Haneen was the quiet candidate in the party. She entered the Knesset as Balad's 3rd representative.

A lawmaker who stands firmly against Israel's occupation of Palestine, Haneen joined other activists in the flotilla after disappointing attempts to convince other Knesset members to aid the oppressed state.

It was reported the Haneen shed a tear when exiting the parliament.

Haneen.... the world is behind you.
