Thoughts On The Palestinian Armed Resistance (Jihad)

05Jan09

Jihad is turning into a trade of souls; massacres are now being called “weddings” by Hamas members and supporters. It’s outrageous when children are killed, but apparently not to some. Martyrdom is a magical word nowadays, they call them martyrs and suddenly everything is OK. Who gave Hamas the right to claim their souls as [...]

From Jordan To Gaza (UPDATED)

“Gazans are not getting a balanced diet”

24Nov08

They’re starved to death, mind you but if saying that “they’re not getting a balanced diet” gets through to anyone then similarly, children are terrified to sleep at night without night lamps. Translation: 70 percent of Gaza is living without electricity after Israel has forced the shut down of Gaza’s main power plant last week.

I’ve been a fan of DAM ever since I read about them nearly 5 years ago and I can’t believe I finally [...]

The movie was nominated for a Palme d’Or award in 2002 at Cannes Film Festival making Suleiman the first Palestinian to show at Cannes, [...]

Smile, You’re in South Lebanon

12Jun08

“Smile, you’re in south Lebanon” is a great documentary I was lucky enough to watch last week in Souk Jara. The 1 hour and 20 something minutes documentary by a brilliant Dalia Kury filmed the life of a southern Lebanese family and how they deal with fear and hardship.
The answer to the previous question is [...]

Action - Reaction

07Jun08

Action:
Israel’s prime minister has said that the country’s military could launch fresh large-scale military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Ehud Olmert’s warning on Friday came as Israeli raids on the occupied Palestinian territory left at least one person dead and at least 17 injured.
