Remember Srebrenica

Ne zabaravimo

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

Bishop Desmond Tutu

Best reason to work for peace...for our children.
l
Children of Jenin by Anna Baltzer

The Palestinian writer Afif Safieh has written:
If I were a Jew or a Gypsy, the Holocaust would be the
most horrible event in history. If I were a Black African it would be Slavery and Apartheid. If I were a Native American, it would be the discovery of the New World by European explorers and settlers that resulted in near total extermination. If I were an Armenian it would be the Ottoman-Turkish massacres. And if I happen to be Palestinian, it would be the Nakba-Catastrophe. No one people has a monopoly on human suffering. It is not advisable to try to establish a hierarchy of suffering. Humanity should consider all the above as morally repugnant and politically unacceptable. And humanity is increasingly beginning to express its adhesion to the principle that there is only one mankind and not different kinds of men and women.

Stop the Wall!

End the Occupation







Even

Nothing is even, even this line

I am writing, even this line I am waiting in,
waiting for permission to enter
the country, the house, the room.
Nothing is even, even now
that laws have been drawn and peace
is discussed on high tables,
and even if all was said to be even
I would not believe for even I know
that nothing is even—not the trees,
the flowers, not the mountains or the shadows…
our nature is not even so why even try to get even
instead let us find an even better place
and call it even.

Alert: End the Siege, Free Gaza!


Human Beings come
from the same source.
We are one family.
If a part of the body hurts,
all parts contract with pain.
If you are not concerned
with another's suffering,
we shall not call you human.
(from the front of the UN building in New York)
"......Because I am convinced that we are all much more alike than we are different... that the experiences that shape us, no matter where we grow up, bring out the same very human responses -- of tears and laughter, fear and courage, uncertainty and enlightenment. My hope is that you will see part of yourself in me, just as I have seen myself reflected in other women's lives around the world."

About Me I wish for all children to be happy and healthy and for women to be safe from abuse. I try to do whatever I can to help put an end to war, acts of terrorism and torture; make the world a more peaceful place and don't want my sons to be soldiers in a war I never did support. I am sorry for 9/11, suicide bombers and airport security lines. I wish I could change these things.
Just want more peace, less war, healthy habitats and clean air for kids to play and be happy even if rest of the world is not.

Religions Islam  
Eating Habits organic whole foods  
Wild Fact About Me That's confidential.
My Philosophy Speak out against oppression, brutality and religious extremism.

We have only one planet, let's take care of it.
What Gives Me Hope There are people willing to put their lives in harms way to bring down the apartheid wall, help Palestinian fisherman fish, bring medical aid to Gaza and prevent another house from being destroyed by an Israeli bulldozer.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by I would end war, stop military aid to Israel, solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and focus on global warming. I realize that would be a tremendous feat but then becoming President is also a bit of a stretch.
