14 Kilometers

14 kilometers is the distance that separates Africa from Europe , but these 14 kilometers is the last barrier that prevents millions of Africans from fulfilling their dreams & entitle them for a life without hunger and misery.

14 kilometers leaves you wondering how many of these immigrants disappear in the desert forever, sink in the sea, & how many when they reach Europe are distant for more suffering.

Warning! Challenges All Way Long

These words caught my attention. I have changed them a bit to reflect my opinion of why people don't take a stand for injustice in order to make this world a better place for all of us to live in.

Warning! Challenges All Way Long

People...Don’t know

Know but don’t care

Care but don’t know what to do

Know what to do but don’t know how to do it

Know how to do it but don’t have the support

Have support but terrified to do it.

Gaza Children Didn't Break Guinness World Record in Flying Kites!

On the 30 of July 2009, 3,000 kites were seen soaring Gaza's sky breaking Guinness World Record in Flying Kites. This event took place just after 7 months of Israel’s attack on Gaza leaving 320 children dead and scores injured or maimed for the rest of their lives. Many thousands have lost their loved ones.

1.5 million Palestinian kids carry heavily the emotional and physical scars associated with death, killing, arrests, humiliation, spread of the terror acts, destruction of homes and schools, military incursions, movement restrictions, and poverty.

Gaza children did not break Guinness world record in flying kites; they broke Guinness world record in pleading for their Human Rights.

Kids gazing to the sky; kites soaring the sky; symbols and messages sent to the whole world requesting one thing: the right to LIVE in freedom, security and dignity.

What an example of Sumud (steadfastness)!

61 Years Of Humanless Rights

We have been hearing for ages of how the developed world aka The West stands for justice, peace, freedom & democracy. We only hear because what they practice is the opposite. They preach but don't act on it.

For 61 years we have no human rights of whats so ever. You know what your hands done better than us! Ripping us from our Watan (home/land) it is all documented in your archives. Still if you need more, we do have ownership certificates for our land, houses, farms, and water wells. We have our identity cards.

You have made UNHR principles & UN resolutions a joke to laugh at. We are aware of the amused human rights UN created on the same year we were deprived them!

• We are Palestinians and no one has the right to rip us from our nationality.
• We have the right to own our property and no one has the right for our land, farms, and homes.
• We have the right for freedom.
• We have the right to protect our honor and reputation.
• We have the right for freedom of opinion and expression without being subjected to prison and punishment.
• We have the right to take part in our country, directly or through freely chosen representatives; not to put sanctions on our democratically elected government.
• We have the right that the will of our people be the basis of the authority of government. We choose.
• We have the right for life & liberty and security of persons.
• We have the right for freedom of movement and residence within our state boarders.
• We have the right for a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of ourselves including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right for security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond control.
• We have the right to education.
• We have the right to participate in the cultural life of the community; to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.

We are humans if you have not noticed! We have the same rights as any American, British, Canadian, Italian, German, and French. We have hundreds of UN resolutions that give you all the right to act decently just for once in your history. I am one of 10 million others who are not asking you for your mighty power. We are not pledging you to move your troops to Israel as you have done to other countries for no justified or legal reason . We are asking you to cut the financial & military aid from Israel. Above this you don't have the right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth in UNHR.

I wonder why countries like Latin America, Africa, Arabs...Any country that is oppressed, ripped of its dignity, honor, resources; don't withdraw from UN as a protest for the corruption & double standards.

For your amusement, here is the UNHR Joke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights
