THIS IS A TRULY FANTASTIC WEBSITE, I HAVE REFERRED MANY ZIONISTS AND SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL (ALL BIGOTS) PLUS MANY CURIOUS PEOPLE TO SELF -EDUCATE VIA STUDYING THE SUPERB CONTENT PLUS ACCURATE HISTORICAL FACTS.
I BELIEVE THAT EDUCATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT ARE THE WAY TO FORGING BRIDGES FOR PEACE, INSH,ALLAH......MANY NOW ACQUAINTED WITH THE TRUTH AS OPPOSED TO ZIONIST LIES &PROPAGANDA ARE SHAME FACED! WE HAVE A DUTY TO TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH, A WORLD THAT IS SICK WITH COMPLACENCY, APATHY AND SELF-INTEREST......OUR PRAYER SHOULD BE FOR CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS TO BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LOVE....... NOT THE LOVE OF POWER!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT SITE, IT IS AN HONOUR TO BELONG...

I would like to thank eveyone who put together all these efforts to do such great job like this historical website about all of Palestine.
I know for sure that it very imprtant to NOT forget Palestine EVER.

The Land of the Prophets will no doubt return to the control of the right people, the Muslims, and to a leader like Salahadin Al-Ayyubi. And to those people that have thought that they will get away with looting Palestinian lands and property, enjoy not, for Allah Knows what every jew has done to them, and you will pay for it dearly, if not in this world first, undoubtedly in the Hereafter.

All the same
===========

They are asking who will be
Israil's Prime Minister

I said what a silly question
do u really care,I wonder

They are all the same inside
think far back and remember

from Ben Ghorion to Stebi Levni
all are worse than each other

they care only for their country
but for us jail and murder

their main aim is competing
who will kill the greatest number

They think if they kill the children
and women we surrender!!

One day we will win if we
unite and say Allaho Akber

Subject : [Anna in Palestine] What May Come Of The Tragedies

Last week I sent out a story about a Gaza woman being asked to choose
which five of her children would live and which five would die--an
unmistakable parallel with the famous story of Sophie, a woman who had
to choose which of her children to give to the Nazis to kill. When I
first heard the story from Gaza, I could hardly believe it, and indeed
many readers have responded incredulously to my post over the past week.

The author of the report, Barbara Lubin of the Middle East Children's
Alliance, is someone whom I respect and trust completely. True, we can
never know with certainty that the mother was telling the truth, yet
one has to wonder why a mourning woman would make up such a story?
What would be required to give the account legitimacy--confessions by
the soldiers? Was Sophie's word accepted or were Nazi officials
consulted to corroborate her story?

What strikes me is the unspoken sense many of us have that surely an
Israeli soldier would never do such a thing. We would not question the
same story coming out of Darfur, or Rwanda, or Sri Lanka؟ but Israel?
Is it that we don't believe a Jewish person capable of something so
cruel? Is it our collective memory of the Holocaust? Or is it that we
want to believe that people like us--Westerners, whom we can relate
to--would never stoop so low, that we are different?

The truth is that everyday people of any background in any place are
capable of unthinkable crimes. Germans were not born Nazis.
Palestinians were not born suicide bombers. When you give 18-year-old
boys big guns and tanks and send them into an area full of people they
fear (and consequently hate), the result is predictable. It doesn't
matter where you come from. The story is not anti-Semitic; it's just
one story of many, all testimonies to the dangerous power-dynamic
created by unmonitored occupation and ethnocentric nationalism. And
it's a call for us to change the circumstances that can lead to the
repetition of history.

Comparing Israel's actions to anything done by the Nazis is something
I almost never do, because it is rarely accurate or useful. However, I
am tired of pretending that similarities do not exist. Obviously there
is no comparison between systematically exterminating 6 million Jews
and dispossessing or imprisoning 10 million Palestinians (and killing
tens of thousands more). Still, the ghettoizing, the massacres, the
humiliation tactics, the torture, the religious and ethnic profiling؟
they all feel so horribly familiar. I might add that the official
definition of genocide extends also to the destruction of a cultural
or national identity, something of which Israel is surely guilty.

My last post was tainted with hopelessness, but I am as sure as ever
that things will--must--change, that Israel's unfettered control and
transformation of Palestinian areas are unsustainable. Israeli
commentators such as Uri Avnery assert that Israel's onslaught against
Gaza will hurt Zionism in the long-run, and I tend to agree. I'm
reminded by people involved in previous struggles (eg. for civil
rights in South Africa and the United States) that things often get
worse before they get better, and ultimately I believe the recent
events will only contribute to the inevitable downfall of Apartheid in
the Holy Land.

One hopeful thing to come out of these tragedies is that the
Palestinian people seem more unified than they have been in a long
time. In the West Bank, demonstrations in solidarity with the people
of Gaza continued, even after a protester was killed in the village of
Nil'in. The Palestinian hip-hop group DAM, based in Israel where they
live as second-class citizens, immediately put out a new song for
their brothers and sisters in Gaza.

In addition, multiple Jewish Israelis have recently written and joined
my list, saying it was the recent attacks on Gaza that finally forced
them to confront their government's crimes. Outside Palestine millions
stand in solidarity with frequent demonstrations around the world,
even now as Gazans begin to put their lives back together. In the US
we tend to get only a fraction of information about the atrocities and
the global movement against them (I've heard more about certain
demonstrations in the US than the local media in the exact same town
reported!). But even that has been enough to inspire many to join the
movement, just as the death of Rachel Corrie and the massacres at
Sabra and Shatila and so many other horrors stimulated the movement in
the past. It is little consolation to the victims of course, but can
at least motivate us to prevent future horrors.

I want to describe the feeling in Syria during the attacks, where I
watched everyone from 7-year-old children to minimum-wage janitors
donate money, clothing, and blood to the people of Gaza. A woman with
nothing left to give put her wedding ring into the charity basket. A
friend of a friend raised more than $1,000 but was robbed on her way
to delivering the money to an aid organization. Her purse was
delivered to the police, with her personal cash stolen (amounting to
about $100), but the envelope labeled "Money for the Children of Gaza"
was left untouched. There is a great feeling of universal solidarity
with the people of Gaza, transcending social, class, political, or
religious differences.

In the capitol, every day enormous protests flooded the streets. As we
marched past, shop owners would close their shops and hurry to join,
students would rush from school to take part, and the constant chant
"We are all Gazans" grew louder and louder. Each day had a different
theme, ranging from law to health to education. Women held other women
on their shoulders to lead cheers and floats with speakers played
inspiring music to energize the completely nonviolent crowd.

What struck me--aside from the sheer size and constancy of the
marches--was how empowering the events were. Rather than leaving
hopeless or angry (as I often do after frustrating protests), I left

with the knowledge that tens of thousands of others around me
Palestine-Witness
were equally outraged, and that we would not be silent until something changed. This unity is something very powerful and important for the movement, and I'm watching it happen all around the world.
The question is where to put this energy, and I think I have an answer. We are at a crucial moment for change in the US and beyond,
Palestine-Witness
and it's time to take the next step. For years I have wondered what this next step should be, and the answer has become increasingly clear. It's a campaign that deserves its own email uncluttered by this one, so expect it in your inboxes early next week, and don't put off reading it. If there's one email you ever read from me, this should be the one.

In peace, Anna

Hi, all. This is a voice from a chinese civilian in Beijing. I happened to find this site with the help of my friend Ahmad, who's an editor in www.palesino.org which is mostly displayed in Chinese. It's a real surprise for me to find that there're still so many people in this world no matter what races they belong to that they never give up fighting for the civil rights of Palestinian people in and out of Palestine.

As a chinese, I'm pretty concerned about the destiny of people in Palestine even if I'm not a muslim and my religion is not Islam. But there's one thing that I always keep in my mind that Che Guevara said:"How can turn around your face in front of the agony of other people?" Frankly speaking, for me, there isn't a clear boundary to justify who should I care and who should not care. I always asked myself that, since we're living under the same sun, why can't we use our love on them just to let them live and don't let them die? Why can't we live as one and unite together and fight against all the unjust issues and all the imperialism? I know that the strength and power of an individual seems to be tiny compared with those tanks and missiles, but I do believe that as long as we keep on fighting and never give up, perhaps we cannot reach the victory today, but tomorrow, our next generation, our children, our children's children will continue with the fighting, and there's one day in the future, the victory and the glory will come to us as a gift from Allah.

Maybe we cannot afford the price of weapons such as missiles and tanks to help the Islamic Resistance with their struggle, at least we could do something for the children in Palestine, you should know that children are the hopes. Considering these, my friend and I are planning a charity concert and a Palestinian Film Festival in order to collect donation for the children in Palestine and tell our audience the truth of the history of Palestine. Besides, it might help them realize the very true meaning of humanitarianism and love.

Even if we're not saying the same language and we're believing the different religion, there's one thing that we have in common, that is, we wish that our efforts in various aspects could get this world right one day. And if you get the support from belief, then nobody can defeat you. and we know that we're doing the right thing, for the children in Gaza, for the love of God, for the voice of our soul.

If you wanna talk with me on these issues, here's my MSN: [email protected]
