An Apology
Hoda, the seven-year-old Palestinian girl made most of the thousnads of mourners cry in her family's funeral. Hoda's family members were killed in a new masscre of the Israeli occupation in Beit Lahia in Gaza.
Hoda, who lost her father, mother and five of brothers and sisters, became lonely in this world. She could not bear the shock and passed out seven times during the funeral, waking up to cry " Don't leave me alone" once, and "Go with peace/safety" another.
The women who surrounded her in the funeral and tried to..........
Is it really worth it? translating the rest of this piece of news and putting it as a post??
It happened before with Mohamed Al-Durra ... so what? It is amazing how we forget things so easily
We feel angry for sure, then it cools down to mere sympathy .....and at the end we just forget

Disasters are actually too many, especially in this part of the world, to stop and count them or ponder before one of them for a long time
So we will cry for Hoda, and some politician or businessman will adopt her, and indeed there are campaigns already for supporting her..........then what?
a vacuum

Palestinians will continue be killed, Arabs are to continue watching
Ah...and of course when some idiot comes up with a drawing insulting our prophet, we won't forget to go out to streets denouncing the matter, condemning the deed and ignoring the fact that it is not our prophet who is abused; it is actually the petty example of Islam, actually of humanity, we set that is abused

I do not think so

What is really amazing is that I got more than once from different people that PowerPoint email which compares the world cup event with this dreadful atrocity (which turns by time to be just an everyday ordinary event). What is so provocative that I am quite sure that people will pity this child and then turn off their computers to watch the world cup, by both legitimate and illegitimate means? Viva Entertainment! Viva Life! Viva Arabs! How tolerant we are with OURTHELEVES and how we embrace life!
Strange enough conclusion right? Because if so, we could have fought for our freedom and internal independence, before hoping to accomplish it on the borders (which we don't dare to do of course)

It is not a strange conclusion...we do embrace life but in a very twisted, weird and selfish way...and I am not exempting myself
I have to admit that I am lashing out against myself and my short memory as well in this post
By the way, I have not got this email which u are talking about
