Freedom Flotilla and Trip to Death

All of us were following the news of 6 ships having groups of Peace Activists on board, on a symbolic trip to Gaza in an attempt to break the blockade on its people and deliver some food and necessities.

Those men and women from different parts of the world were brave and bold enough to face a decision taken by Israel against the freedom of Gaza people, where for 3 years Gaza was and still is under siege and deprived from having the very basics elements of living.

Israeli army carried its government orders, and attacked with brute force, the ships before entering its territorial waters.

Many persons were killed and many were injured and the rest were taken like criminals or terrorists to Ashdod.

Israel said they had to do this because the people on board attacked the soldiers with metal sticks and knives and described the ships as ships with voyage of terror.... What An Excuse


IDF spokeswoman Avital Leibowitz said light weapons and handguns were confiscated from the flotilla.... Yeah, right.... this is a dangerous threat and put the very existence of Israel on the edge....

Israeli Prime Miniister Netanyahu regreted what happened, but said it was in self defense and necessary to do it and supported his military forces 100%.... Sure....

All other world leaders condemned, what happened some with very strong wordings and some with caution.... Typical

The UN, as well as Germany, France and Britain want a thorough and transparent investigation.... their further comments that "it is not acceptable to distort the balance in international law"... Go figure - what this can mean!

USA and Mr. Obama deeply regrets the loss of life and injuries sustained and currently working to understand the circumstances surrounding this tragedy....... Amazing.

Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said that they have a history of arms smuggling and deadly terror, and there were weapons onboard prepared in advance to be used against Israeli forces...... Yeah....maybe this is the "circumstances" Mr. Obama wanted to hear....This is amazing... how the business of lying can have no limits and no consideration to the others.....
..
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, repeated his view that a different and better way of helping the people of Gaza and avoiding the hardship and tragedy that is inherent in the present situation.........Right but incredibly late

About 2 million people in Gaza under siege for 3 years.
They do not have the basic means of living.
They live way under the line of poverty.
They should be relieved that there are still people thinking about them and ready to put their lives at risk for them.

However, there are still people willing to take advantage of any similar catastrophe for their own selfish benefits.

For those people I say, It does not need a Death Trip from time to time to alert the world that there are 2 million lives in Gaza dying bit by bit every single minute of everyday....

Just remember..... Because History never forget.

What is happening in, on and around Gaza?

Tomorrow a food fleet of ships, "The flotilla", which includes three cargo ships and three passenger ships, is trying to draw attention to Israel's three-year blockade of the Gaza Strip. The boats are also carrying items that Israel bars from reaching Gaza, like cement and other building materials. The activists said they also were carrying hundreds of electric-powered wheelchairs, prefabricated homes and water purifiers.

Israeli warships stalked a flotilla carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists, including a Nobel laureate and a Holocaust survivor heading for the Gaza Strip on Monday, edging closer to a naval showdown on the high seas.

What will happen, we wait and see

But one may ask..

Why 2 million Gazans are being blockaded for about 3 years, and practically besieged all around?

Why Israel seems to be keen of keeping an  unsolved stagnate situation in Gaza?

Why Hamas risks engaging in such disproportional battles?

Why America sees Israel as a victim and Gaza people as a consequence, not to say collateral damage?

Why Mr. Obama decides to defend Israel even if it is wrong?

What is the real price of Gaza people??

Who decides for them from them?

Who decides for them on them?

Who decides for them from outside? Why?

Why Gazan blood is so "cheap" and their land is so lucrative?

What is the real bargain for the conflict in Middle East?

Why there is so much politics in religions and vice versa?

When this bloodshed will come to an end?

What is the number of killed civilians must Gaza put, to start see an end to this dilemma?

Who put this number?

What is the real deal?
If anyone knows any answer on any question, may be put it to us so we also know.
Because I do not know………….. And can not think of logic answers
Neither politically and not otherwise

Non Nuclear Middle East!!

 Or a Nuclear-Weapons Free Middle East.

 World Nuclear Free Zones Map

Blue = Nuclear Free Zones - Red = Nuclear States - Orange = Sharing States - Yellow = Neither but not NPT

This is what over 180 nations agreed upon today in the UN meeting in New York.

Including Iran .... which is working hard to reach a free nuke Middle East, but still declaring few days ago that a treaty was signed with Turkey to exchange enriched uranium but at the same time insisting on proceeding with enrichment program...

Al Farabi - Father of Democracy

Excluding Israel .... which still insisting there is no nuclear weapons or nuclear plants or uranium enrichments on its land (or occupied land), despite all the evidences to the contrary. Its logic is: they are all liars, including the scientists who participated in Israel necear programs.... I do not have them... they do.

Ignoring India and Pakistan, because they are Near East countries. Or may be because they are allowed, like other countries; USA, Europe, China, Russia... Who knows.. No explanations given.

North Korea is too far from Middle East. Or it is not time yet, as everybody is busy now to defuse the heat between South and North Koreans. Any miscalculated mistake might ignite a serious war and all what the 189 nations agreed upon can be null and void..

It is the land of controversy, historic dilemmas, strategic importance, religious conflicts.

Al Razi - Father of Medicine

At the same time it is the very foundation of life, religions Science  and civilizations.

Nations in the Middle East must be honest, pure and transparent... But it is OK if some nations lie and deceive.

Ibn Khaldoun - Father of Sociology

Nations in the Middle East, must work towards modern civilizations and democracy... But not allowed to use the correct educational systems and practice the real democratic regimes.

Nations in the Middle East can have money but with Western Management.

Nations in the Middle East must achieve peace between them, but they must not stop buying weapons to fight each others.

You know now why I love and hate this Middle East?
Sami Cherkaoui

Middle East - I love You, Hate You....

What is it with the West World?

Most politics, Press, Media hit the subject of Middle East.
Even Singers, Actors, Actresses make sure that they perform or do something there.
Elton John strive to sing in any country in the Middle East.
Janet Jackson is dating now an Arab "Businessman" from Qatar.

Everyday, we must hear and watch all kind of news, events, arguments, analysis about Middle East:

Some good, but mostly bad.

Defiant Iran, Troubled Pakistan, War in Afghanistan, Islam in Saudi Arabia, Judaism in Israel, Oppression in Occupied Palestine and Liberated Gaza, Controversy in Morocco, Safe Heaven Tunis, Diversity Libya, Torn-Out Iraq, Troubled Yemen, Mr. Fix It Turkey, Bad Boy Syria, Chess-Board Lebanon, Ruptured Sudan, Nile-Off Egypt, Alternative State Jordan, Democratic Kuwait, Spectacular Emirates, Naughty Qatar, Grown-Up Bahrain, Good Son Oman ....

Love and Hate at the same time.
Summer and Winter under one roof.

Even in movies and TV shows, there should be hints of Arabs, Jews, Islam, Iran... in different ways and shapes.

Lately we see The Prince of Persia and understand that the plot of the movie idea is based  on a perilous quest to stop an evil mastermind's plot for ultimate power with a mystical weapon that can control the very fabric of time.
Typical...

In Sex and The City we see the American Women invades the Arabian main traditions and culture.

It is funny that when the shooting of this movie was refused in the Emirates, the producers managed to shoot it in Morocco but to appear as Emirates.
What an insist...

If we read history well, we can not but notice that all the States mentioned above were under some sort of Western Occupation.

All of them have now their independence... or not?

I forgot to say that by Western Occupation I mean European - not American.

The Americans now want to be involved and in control.
So, they use all kind of tools they are good with... including Weapons, technology, Media, friends, enemies, allies and movies......to invade.

And they also use all kinds of invasions; real, psychological, political, economical, educational, tactical, cultural, etc...

Europe can not help but remembering how great were those days few decades ago, when it was the ultimate power in that lucrative region.

It might be possible that Europe is putting all those obstacles so USA can not win in the region.
Of-course the Region should not win as well.

Oh. It seems this is the best movie ever.

Human Age and the quest of Adam

Scientists confirmed they found fossil-skull pieces for human species used to live 1 to 2 million years ago.

Other scientists do not agree and argue that these skulls might be for other different species but certainly not human.

Whether human or not, the question really is about life on this planet about 2 million years ago.

Well, I think it can matter if there was human life 2 million years ago.
Anyways, the real question is what are these other species they talk about?

Animals?
If so, then the possibility of human life is larger.
If not, then what do they mean?

Aliens? possible

Religious books inform us in different ways that our father Adam (Who is supposed to be the first human on earth) was created about 6000 years ago.
History confirms this as follows:
Adam - Cain - Abel - Seth - Enosh - Kenan - Mahalale - Jared - Enoch (Idris)- Methusaleh - Lamech - Noah (about 1100 years after Adam and from his sons Ham and Sham came Canaan and Aram with others) - Shelah - Eber - Peleg - Joktan - Reu - Serug - Nahor - Terah - HAran - Nahor - Abraham ( about 1960 years after Adam) -
Then between Abraham and Jesus there was 2000 years and the generations of the following:
Ismail till Mohamed (about 700 years after Jesus)
Isaac - Jacob - Joseph - David - Solomon - Jesus

Obviously science has a different perspective.

However religion, history and science agree that Earth already existed long before.

But Science suggests that life was on Earth since it existed. Not necessarily human life. Maybe.

Religion hints that there were other species living before Adam; they are called Angels, Demons, Genies, Giants. They lived on Earth and In Space ( The Skies - Heavens)

Science talk about Aliens and life in space. Sometimes they visit Earth.

The genealogy and chronology of the names mentioned above are really intriguing because the generations we know have built their civilizations rooting from those names and were affected by their differences, also influenced most by the myth(s) of the other non human species of angels, demons, giants, genies etc.. Or Aliens....

All this bring us back to the real real question:

Was there more than one Adam? why, how and when?

Hope to listen well to the whispers of the wind.

Starting The Blogs

Today 26 May 2010

It just occurred to me today, that I can really communicate back all what I receive or hear or watch of daily news, whether they are political, social, scientific, entertaining etc...
The flood of daily news is so intense and do not take any rest.

So I chose to use an Entr'acte every day

In this Entr'acte, I will take a hot subject daily and talk about it.
Try to discuss it from a neutral perspective.

My feeling is that we are being used by so many powers.
Left. Right. Middle - does not matter - they are all powers.
Those powers want us to understand what they want and not what we want.
They have all the means and powers to do this.

This is why we are at loss to understand the real meaning of what is happening around us, and may be this Entr'acte can help us in comprehending matters and issues better.
Go deep into them.
Find out the answers of Why, Who and Where.

History is an amazing subject.
I believe that we are reading wrong history books, or written in a wrong or deceiving way, and all the bad things happening now in our world is because these wrong readings.

I am not saying that some people are better than other people.
Or some religions are better than other religions.
Or some countries are better than other countries.

I believe we are all one people - actually the same people. Humans
There is one country - Earth
And Religion should not be discussed as a political issue.

The difference is how we were raised - who raised us -and why they raised us to be us like we are now?

To be neutral is to be free of any obligation to a third party.
Talking to Third Parties of-course is not a bias as long as they also feel the same.

The Wind Is The Water's Whisperer

Let us try to hear these whispers
