where are we going?

the question played in my mind over and over again like a broken record ... I thought Palestine would finally have a functioning civil society and NGOs ... but it seems having sky-wide dreams and hopes would always cause severe disappointment ... 


the March 15th Movement, was supposed to be the base of a strong affective lobby work, but as it all seem clear now, that movement isn't free anymore, and is being rubbed towards one political faction. for that reason many guys including myself, find it the right thing to do to quit being members of such movement. we believe the society needs a functioning and independent alternative wither it is civil movements, or political organizations ... but going all the way back to be a part of traditional entities like Fatah and Hamas, doesn't seem the right thing to me, and isn't the right path to what  would be in favor of the whole nation ...


live and see ...

In Memoriam

                        Few months ago, I had a discussion with a friend, he said memories are past, while I had an opposing idea, memories aren’t past as long as they impose any kind of emotional state and have implications on our lives.

            I want you to concentrate on this quote: “some refugees from Darfur weren’t allowed to return to their homes”. The government is violating the basic Human Rights and violating International Law, hence a refugee is guaranteed the right to return to his/her own house. What do you feel about the poor refugees of Darfur? The quote is not news, I only want you to imagine such a miserable situation, how would international media deal with it and how would you feel about it?

Unity agreement, with and against

In March 15^th hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Youth and elders demonstrated for their national unity. The protestors were marginalized and attacked brutally, a gun and a stick aren’t necessary to marginalize one’s opinion and voice, although Hamas used them in the worst possible ways, Hamas also introduced a less harmful way to marginalize, using super noisy speakers.

All indications in March 15^th and the days after, arresting, beating, and stabbing do directly show that there wasn’t any real attitude within Gaza de facto Hamas government to deal in peaceful way or to step to the demands of the crowds, for many reasons nobody in Gaza was impressed about the way Hamas behaved.
