  • Cute Angel, 

    -you shared some painful pics,  I have to admit that there were so many unspeakable pics but i preferred not to add them here ... considering ppl feelings and this site rules.

    -"I learned from news that they are targeting hospitals and schools again and again " 

    yes they did .. another UN school was hit today.

    -Thanks for your useful videos and thanks for the translation cuz i don't speak Hebrew. I appreciate your suggestion for adding these videos but i was trying to highlight a certain aspect of this war. Thanks again, cute Angel.

    May Allah protect all Palestinians in Gaza .. Ameen

    "Just waiting for a day and a blog which contains hopeful and painless news. Hope that day come soon"

    I believe it will come sooner than we expect ... but it just needs some hard work from our side.

  • Ohnie, 

    "Somehow, this has got to stop!"

    This is what I keep thinking of ... How can we stop it ?!! .. are we gonna just keep sharing pics and show our sympathy without doing anything ?!

    can we bring our sympathy to reality instead of this virtual life ?

    can we put a pressure on our governments to condemn and not to support who commits these war crimes (attacking hospitals and schools ... killing children, women and elders)?

    ohnie, you are in a democratic country .. and i think that congress represents you. so can congress put a pressure on the US administration to stop legitimize Israeli war crimes ?

  • AH_TK, it'd great if you add these videos to your blog.

    Who is getting nervous, I hear?
    Zoabi, this here is the Land of Israel
    This here is the Land of Israel, Zoabi
    This here is the Land of the Jews
    I hate you, I do, Zoabi

    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Gaza is a graveyard
    Gaza is a graveyard

  • It's one of those moments when you just can't find the words you want to say...there's just no way of describing those feelings you want to express...when you wish you could at least hold one of those kids to comfort her in her agony...to wipe away her tears...to mend her wounds...to help bear her pains....Somehow, this has got to stop!
