Diary about peace and freedom

Ramadan is coming, or in some places they have already started it.

This will be my first Ramadan and I hope I can make it correctly! I have made lists for me to remember what is the purpose of Ramadan and guides to learn the prayers. My mission on my first Ramadan is to learn prayers, because til now I have been learning from video and now I wanna learn my self from a paper, I think that's better :)

Between Palestine and Israel; I'm waiting for the prisoner swap between Israel and Hamas. I wish Israel would go for Hamas's demands about all the women prisoners to be freed.

The freeGaza ships has arrived Cyprus safely, here is a quote from a newsite:
Date: 30 / 08 / 2008 Time: 09:58
تكبير الخط تصغير الخط

Bethlehem – Ma'an – the Free Gaza ships arrived safely in Cyprus at 8pm local time, carrying seven Palestinians who would have been otherwise unable to leave the area, and most of the international activists who sailed the ships to Gaza.

In a statement sent to Ma'an the group said that the crossing to Cyprus was safe and uneventful, though earlier reports said that Israeli ships shadowed the boats until they reached international waters. LINK

I hope this is a start to a new era in Palestine's history and in history of this unfair siege.

This morning I was surprised to read from my citys newspapers that Russias Prime Minister Putin accuses USA of planting Georgia-Russia conflict because of presidential competition. Mr Putin said that USA-citisens was in Georgia at the time..
That makes good sence I think and I also think that USA has been helping many other wars and conflicts to develope too..

About Palestine; those free Gaza ships has left Gaza, here is a copy from one news site

"When we arrived in Gaza last Saturday, it was the first time in forty-one years that anyone has freely entered Gaza. But our leaving is in a way even more significant. Last Saturday, two of our Palestinian members came into Gaza on these boats. Today, seven more Palestinians are leaving with them. They got exit stamps from the Palestinian government, they boarded the ships, and soon they'll be in international waters, and then in Cyprus. This is the first time, ever, that Palestinians have been able to freely enter and leave their own country. It's an incredible step forward, and a sign of greater things to come." Dr. Paul Larudee, a human rights activist from the USA travelling on the SS Liberty, told his colleagues over the phone.

The Free Gaza Movement promised to return the Gaza soon with another delegation and called on the United Nations, Arab League and international community to organize similar human rights and humanitarian efforts.

The movement further promised to continue to work to ensure safe passage between Gaza and the outside world. LINK

I think that is pretty important step and shows to all of us that we truly can resists Israelis unfair blockage and we all should take part of that, maybe not by going there, but atleast following the news and talking and writing about it and ancouraging it!

Maybe this could start a new page in the History of Palestine-Israel issue, maybe Israel is a bit by bit going to have to give up the opressing of the Palestinians, maybe, just maybe..
But surely this brings up more hope!

Dear Friend, if you are reading this; I want you to now that I think of you all the time and I hope that you are in safe place and ok! I wish to hear from you, but maybe situation got to bad for you in your city and you had to leave, or maybe the israelis thought of you as a thread to them and took you to prison :(
I wish to hear from you someday!

The Free Gaza movement are still in Gaza with 2 ships and they are going to leave soon and take few Palestinians with them, here's a quote from their site:

"(GAZA CITY, 27 August 2008) - It was standing-room-only in Gaza City studios today as the Free Gaza Movement held a press conference to announce the departure of the SS Free Gaza and SS Liberty, and to reaffirm that 12-14 Palestinians, who have previously been denied exit visas by Israel, will be traveling to Cyprus on the two boats. Some of those leaving are students, with vaild visas or dual citizenship who have been accepted to universities abroad. Additionally, one Palestinian professor will finally be able to go back to teaching in Europe, and one young Palestinian woman will finally be reunited with her husband." http://www.freegaza.org/

Im happy that the ships could go safely to Gaza and that they are making a noise now and having publicity!

The boards are still closet and no ddate has been announcet when they will be open...

I am Israel - I came to a land without a people for a people without a land. Those people who happened to be here, had no right to be here, and my people showed them they had to leave or die, razing 480 Palestinian villages to the ground, erasing their history.

I am Israel - some of my people committed massacres and later became Prime Ministers to represent me. In 1948, Menachem Begin was in charge of the unit that slaughtered the inhabitants of Deir Yassin, including 100 men, women, and children. In 1953, Ariel Sharon led the slaughter of the inhabitants of Qibya, and in 1982 arranged for our allies to butcher around 2,000 in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla.

I am Israel - carved in 1948 out of 78% of the land of Palestine, dispossessing its inhabitants and replacing them with Jews from Europe and other parts of the world. While the natives whose families lived on this land for thousands of years are not allowed to return, Jews from all over the world are welcome to instant citizenship.

I am Israel - in 1967, I swallowed the remaining lands of Palestine - the West Bank and Gaza - and placed their inhabitants under an oppressive military rule, controlling and humiliating every aspect of their daily lives. Eventually, they should get the message that they are not welcome to stay, and join the millions of Palestinian refugees in the shanty camps of Lebanon and Jordan.

I am Israel - I have the power to control American policy. My American Israel Public Affairs Committee can make or break any politician of its choosing, and as you see, they all compete to please me. All the forces of the world are powerless against me, including the UN as I have the American veto to block any condemnation of my war crimes. As Sharon so eloquently phrased it, "We control America".

I am Israel - I influence American mainstream media too, and you will always find the news tailored to my favor. I have invested millions of dollars into PR representation, and CNN, New York Times, and others have been doing an excellent job of promoting my propaganda. Look at other international news sources and you will see the difference.

I am Israel - and you Palestinians want to negotiate "peace!?" But you are not as smart as me; I will negotiate, but will only let you have your municipalities while I control your borders, your water, your airspace, and anything else of importance. While we "negotiate," I will swallow your hilltops and fill them with settlements, populated by the most extremist of my extremists, armed to the teeth. These settlements will be connected with roads you cannot use, and you will be imprisoned in your little Bantustans between them, surrounded by checkpoints in every direction.

I am Israel - with the fourth strongest army in the world, possessing nuclear weapons. How dare your children confront my oppression with stones, don't you know my soldiers won't hesitate to blow their heads off? In 17 months, I have killed 900 of you and injured 17,000, mostly civilians, and have the mandate to continue since the international community remains silent. Ignore, as I do, the hundreds of Israeli soldiers who are now refusing to carry out my control over your lands and people; their voices of conscience will not protect you.

I am Israel - and you want freedom? I have bullets, tanks, missiles, Apaches, and F-16's, to obliterate you. I have placed your towns under siege, confiscated your lands, uprooted your trees, demolished your homes, and you still demand freedom? Don't you get the message? You will never have peace or freedom, because


- I am Israel -
