Christmas in the Holy Land - 2009

When celebrating Christmas, it would be a good idea to think about the birthplace of Jesus. What is like in the Holy Land under occupation, injustice and racism? How does Christmas feel when the Holy Land is under siege?

Mosquito Tactics - the movie

Mosquito tactics - the movie from Mosquito Tactics on Vimeo.


What is peace? Is there such a thing? And if there isn't – how can we create it together?

My INTERNET DILEMMA

did anyone watch the movie : " he is not that into you" ???
no?
ok read this :

Mary: I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my Black Berry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies.
Mary: It’s exhausting.


this small dialogue really express what we r facing now... we r so tired to run around and get accounts on different websites that every one of them gives u a new advantage. for example:

Facebook: i love it, u stay connected to ur friends, see photos, check events in ur town, post videos, write notes... mainly ALIVE and ADDICTIVE.


My Space: i mainly joined My space community for nothing but to stay connected to my favorite hip hop bad "flying steps" in Germany, after that i found a lot of my friends and i meet new friends also i found out that Arabic singers have a my space account, personal one, which is nice...


Twitter: simple and easy.. u can be connected to a lot of networks and stars as well: Queen Rania, the white house, the UN, Oprah, mariah carey, kevin spicey... by one click u can get all the feedback about their updates... :)


Linked In: it's a professional network, where u can get recommendations and get job opportunities as well. i was introduced to Linkedin by my sis Naya ;) , i won't say that i was lost from the beginning and i'm still lost :P , but i found friends i meet from different conferences on it, and it was great to find them.


Flicker: it's mainly for professional photographers, u post ur pics and then u get comments and advices about ur pic, if u r not a pro, it's ok, u can post family and friends and stay connected, frankly, i found amazing pics, that i wanted to download to find them having a very high security program, very smart if u don't want to distribute, and very irritating if u liked this pic to download..


Bambuser: in order to follow YLVP course, and to keep Ahmed Esmat focused :P , i made an account on this website, which in the beginning really irritated me, since u mainly broadcast from ur mobile ( service is not THAT cheap), but i used my web cam, and i broadcast funny stuff... (a view from my street :P )


those communities r not the only thing that through it u can stay connected to ur friends and be updated, there r a lot others, but those r the main thing.


Technology is fun, technology is great, technology is the one thing that keeps me updated with my crazy brother, whether to remind him to buy me a cycle helmet :P , or to see his BOLD after he shaved like a prisoner :D

if u have other websites that u see essential as well , and u can't start ur day without viewing it, just add it on comments... :)

BAD DAY

again she smiles..
knowing her suffering will end
in a min or another....

standing in the top of a cliff
hanging on the edge
and gaining a strange desire...

she sees her life
as they all say
a movie strip from the beginning..

no lovely childhood
no fun youth
and no prosper life

she looks down,
take a deep breath
and jumps...

and as she speed down the mountain
she remembers...

her little toys in her childhood
her friends from college
her little children coming running towards her after school

and all of the sudden..
it all made sense...

and as she sees the bottom
she wished
she wish she could just go back
start all over
forget the bad things and just start again....

and then

" honey??
honey, wake up,
I'm going to work
and the kids need to go to school
ur mum called and she will drop by"

she opened her eyes...
cant believe that this all was just a dream...

she looks at her kids...
as loud as they r...
she smiled ...

looked at her husband,
although she argues with him a lot
but in the end, she loves him.

she got up,
hugged them all...

a deep sigh,
with a quick question,
everybody has a bad day..
and let's start a new day....

Final Numbers?

Egyptian Rescue Units waiting to Cross the borders to Gaza


No. Shown here is from the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) and ERS (Egyptian Rescue Service)

No. for the period 27/12 - 20/1

Egypt: 1 killed for the Border guards (100% military)

Israel: total:13 - 3 Civilians 24% 10 Soldiers 76%

Gaza- Palestine: total: 1340 - 900 Civilians includes (300 Children - 400 Women) 400 Hamas

Egypt: 100% Military
Israel:76% Military 24% Civilians
Gaza: 31% Military 69% Civilians

44 of the Civilians were killed inside UN Buildings and Schools.

Around 40 or the Rescue worker and drives got killed by the IDF during there work.

so the main question will be "it a war on terrorist as Israel said or it was war on people who lost everything".

and the most important Question Did Israel won after all of that did they throw out Hamas?

Rules of the Game 4


In the last few days as the world watched the events in the Middle East and as that there was various coverage for Arab and Israeli versions and Western versions which certainly close to the Israeli version.

Despite the horror of the events and involvement of all parties except that the coverage had a different views made me pose this to all people open discussion about what is going on "Which Middle East we are talking about? "....

Are we talking about the Arabic version of its public opinion that what is happening and the massacre that the world succumb and ignore in Gaza is supporting to Israel and on the other hand and breaking resistance movement and the Arabic Liberation movement? ....

Or we talk about the official Arabic version “Egypt”, which is saying that what is happening despite the horror consider to be discipline of Hamas, which refused to attend the dialogue in Cairo .......

And certainly if you are living abroad and observer of the European news which either ignoring completely as if the massacre of Mercury and not the earth or whether there would be coverage like "some terrorists fire rockets which fall on Ashkelon and the IDF is firing back” a little after they show a TV series accuse All Arabs and Muslims with terrorism and we can see this as on the third day of the war “massacre” on a TV channel TV they showed the Twenty-third series "NCIS" which in it the Israeli interrogation with a member of Abu Sayyaf who is smuggling weapons to Hamas and they show how the tears was in her eyes while she charging him of killing innocent people ... by the way the normal sequence series was the third season serial no. Seven!!!!

And of course the American and Israeli version of events and summarized in the "right of Israel to defend itself against terrorists" and Israel is not using excessive force but take into account the existence of civilians in the conflict zone!!!...

The problem is that many version of the conflict and, if we are looking for the peace and a lasting solution to the conflict is a Middle East so we have to put one copy of the events and that's clear, and that’s a reason that the Security Council failed to reach a decision despite the evolution of the events and always the Security Council are failing to resolve the dispute In the region due to different versions do not participate in the same foundation.....



I liked the comment of an American analyst on the West coverage of the events "When I see the news on television and I feel that the Palestinian tanks Sweeps Tel Aviv"
