This love I have for you
Holds me, lifts me, carries me through
When all is dark
When pain is deep
When love is scarce
When friends are few
This love I have for you
Holds me, lifts me, carries me through

People say
What happened to you is so cruel… so unfair
To have to lose khaled in such an awful way
When you were so much in love
I say, yes it is very painful
But not at all cruel
Death is nothing but a gateway
Everything dies… Everyone dies
Why should I be the exception?
His journey ended before mine
That’s all
And soon I’ll follow
It’s only a matter of time
Before we are together again
We come to life
Only for a while
Also… the law goes
The higher you fly up
The greater is your fall
The more intensely you enjoy your love
The more painful is your sorrow
This only fair
Some live and die
Without experiencing real love
And I’ve experienced all
It’s not cruel to give something back
And to feel more pain
Is not unfair

Thank you for my fears
For without them
I could live my entire days
Without ever appreciating
How safe my life is
Thank you for my worries
For without them I could never
Fully enjoy peace of mind
And tranquillity
Thank you for my pain
For without it
I could only imagine
What others go through
Thank you for my grief
For without it
I couldn’t sincerely feel
The heartache of others
How else can I ever
Learn genuine empathy?
Thank you God, for all my imperfections

O human
O creation of the Most Merciful
O masterpiece of the Most Compassionate, Most Sublime
Good Morning
A morning of goodness, despite the wicked
A morning of hope despite despair
A morning of roses despite thorns
A morning of justice despite suppression
A morning of light despite darkness
A morning of victory despite oppression
A morning of freedom despite slavery

With a bunch of scented roses
and a meadow of wild flowers,
I wish to wipe your tears away
Kneeling down with utmost love
Embrace your pain and weary hearts
Caress your wondrous beautiful souls
With a grateful smile
I knock at your door
Wishing and praying you accept my call

Two Kinds of Love
قصيدة للشاعرة : رابعة العدوية Poem: Rabia Al’Adaweyah
ريم بنّا | Rim Banna –
أحبّك حبّيْن حُبّ الهوى
وحُبّاً لأنك أهلٌ لذاك
فأما الذي هو حُبّ الهوى
فشغلي بذكرك عمّن سواك
وأما الذي أنت أهلٌ له
فكشفكُ للحُجب حتى أراك
فلا الحمد في ذاك ولا ذاك لي
ولكن لك الحمد في ذا وذاك
ولما علمت بأن قلبي فارغ
ممَن سواك .. ملأته بهواك
وملأت كلّي منك حتى لم
أدع مني مكاناً خالياً لسواك
فالقلب فيه هيامه وغرامه
والنطق لا ينفكّ عن ذكراك
والطَرف حيث أُجيله متلفتاً
في كل شيء يجتلي معناك
والسمع لا يُصغي إلى متكلّم
إلا اذا ما حدّثوا بحلاك

With the “good” example of Balfour Declaration as a precedent,
IMAGINE THIS:
Nahida, Exiled Palestinian [who has been languishing in exile for decades, along with millions of exiled Palestinians] view with favour the establishment in Britain of a national home for the LGBT people [who have been denied the right to express a national sovereignty and denied the right to exercise their cultural, political and national identity and aspirations as an oppressed and persecuted minority].
Exiled Palestinians will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-LGBT communities in Britain, or the rights and political status enjoyed by LGBT in any other country.
Exiled Palestinian, will go a step further and promises to give:
State of California to Yemeni people
State of Colorado and Kansas to Afghan people
State of Georgia to Pakistani people
State of Texas to Iranian people
States of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia to Iraqi people
States of New Mexico and Arizona, to Mexican people
States of Washington, Oregon, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma to Black African people
States of Nevada, Utah, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Florida to South American people,
Furthermore, Exiled Palestinian promises to give:
France to Algerian people,
Germany to Turkish people,
Spain to Moroccan people
Italy to Libyan people
Finland to Zambian people
Russian Federation to left-handed people
Finland to Red-Haired people
Norway to people who like spaghetti and apple Juice
Exiled Palestinian invites people of FB vote for this Declaration please .
(Disclaimer: this is of course a satire)

Words, in the battle of Liberation are of prime importance, but in the age of Internet, where Cyber Battles are waged, between truth and falsehood, the use of the right word becomes more vital than ever.
We have observed how the word, “apartheid” has crept in and has been intensely used by many Palestinians and their supporters without much reflection upon the meaning, implications or outcome of such use.
The definition of “Apartheid”
a·part·heid (
-pärt
h
t
, -h
t
)
n.
Thus, the use of apartheid to describe “Israel”, the entity which was established by terror, planned ethnic cleansing and continues to practice slow genocide is extremely inappropriate, insufficient and falls very short from giving a complete and accurate portrait.
Calling “Israel” an Apartheid is a CONCEALMENT of GENOCIDE
Calling the Zionist entity mere “apartheid”, i.e “separation”, would only serve in concealing the true genocidal nature of the Jewish state, and present it as a “normal” and “legitimate” political system with only few holes, some racist laws, and wrong policies which can be easily changed. Such use would promote the legitimization of this entity. From a legal aspect, crimes of apartheid does not carry the same weight in International Law as Crimes against Humanity,thus may be harder to prosecute.
Campaigning to demand that the existing Jewish state, would change some of its policies (rather than to call for its dismantling and delegitimisation, to end this entity, once and for all) would simply enable the usurpation of historic Palestine.
Calling for ODS (one democratic state, as a continuation of “Israel”), while ignoring the right of Palestinians to FULL LIBERATION, would enable the Zionist entity to expand and enlarge its boundaries, to encompass the ENTIRE land of Palestine, by annexing what remains of Palestine.
Calling for “equal rights” between mass-murderers and their victims, means wilful participation in wiping out the Palestinian Identity, under “Israeli” authority thus promoting giving Palestinians “israeli” citizenship, which means unwittingly promoting the “israelization” of what remains of Palestinians, i.e upgrading their state from “occupied Palestinians” to “israeli slaves”.
I call upon our people and our supporters to be alert and not to participate in whitewashing the crimes of the Jewish state, by calling it an “apartheid” rather than what it really is, a genocidal, supremacist, expansionist, ethnic-cleansing entity.
Article 2 of the United Nations issued Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide states:
“any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such:
1. Killing members of the group; [Israel …guilty]
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; [Israel …guilty]
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; [Israel …guilty]
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [Israel …guilty]
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Article 4 states:
Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3 shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals.
Nuremberg Principles,
Principle VI. states,
“The crimes hereinafter set out are punishable as crimes under international law:
The Sanhedrin Principles:
“A king should not wage other wars before a milchemet mitzvah. What is considered as milchemet mitzvah? The war against the seven nations who occupied Eretz Yisrael, the war against Amalek, and a war fought to assist Israel from an enemy which attacks them.
Afterwards, he may wage a milchemet hareshut, (war of aggression) i.e. a war fought with other nations in order to expand the borders of Israel or magnify its greatness and reputation.”
Mishneh Torah, Chapter 1, Halacha 2:
“Amalek’s seed should be annihilated before the construction of the Temple”
THE LAWS OF KINGS AND THEIR WARS
6) The obligation to destroy the seven nations living in the Land of Canaan;
7) The prohibition against allowing any one of them to remain alive;
8) The obligation to destroy the descendents of Amalek;
9) The obligation to remember what Amalek did;
“If the enemy accepts the offer of peace and commits itself to the fulfillment of the seven mitzvot that were commanded to Noah’s descendents, none of them should be killed. Rather, they should be subjugated as ibid.:11 states: ‘They shall be your subjects and serve you.’
If they agree to tribute, but do not accept subjugation or if they accept subjugation, but do not agree to tribute, their offer should not be heeded. They must accept both.
The subjugation they must accept consists of being on a lower level, scorned and humble. They must never raise their heads against Israel, but must remain subjugated under their rule. They may never be appointed over a Jew in any matter whatsoever.”

PLEASE SIGN THIS DECLARATION IF YOU AGREE WITH ITS CONTENTS.
An invitation to All Palestinians and their supporters to unite under the banner of LIBERATION, affirming our Inalienable Rights and clarifying our aims and aspirations to ourselves and to the world. For the sake of historical truth, and for defending, preserving and protecting the rights of future Palestinian children, we present this document:
For those reasons, we hereby, the undersigned Palestinians and our supporters affirm the following: Palestine is located from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan and cannot be divided, leased, given away or sold.
Palestinians, whether living in any part of historic Palestine or in forced exile, are one people and shall not be divided.
The Palestinian Nation is the only one owning the land of Palestine, with the human right of full and unrestrained sovereignty over our historic land, Palestine.
That the “Nakba” with its massacres and daily atrocities, continues to this day, beginning with the forceful uprooting of our people by terror organizations such as Irgun and Haganah in 1948.
The lapse of time since the beginning or this “Nakba” (the word means “catastrophe”) does not diminish our inalienable rights in Palestine, including the inalienable right to return to our homes and properties, and to participate in the re-building and development of our society and its institutions, and adopt any political, economic and Judicial system we Palestinians would chose.
Our people inside and outside of Palestine form one Nation, and yearn for their reunification in their ancestral homeland, Palestine.
Contrary to the defamation we have been subjected to, we have always been an extremely tolerant nation, and we yearn to restore this quality to our land and country, for the benefit of all humankind, irrespective of religion or cultural origin.
We Palestinians, just as any other nation under attack and occupied, have the ultimate and unabridged right to define our aims, choose our strategy and tactics of resistance suitable for achieving our liberation from our oppressor, and the reinstatement of our rights, and establishing diplomatic and commercial relations with neighboring countries and beyond.
Palestinians have the moral and legal right to pursue the legal prosecution of the usurpers and destroyers of our land within the recognized international laws.
It is ominously dangerous for everyone’s security, to refuse to prosecute perpetrators of terrorism, crimes against humanity, atrocities, and the systematic fomenting of wars and racial and religious hatred.
It is ominously dangerous to step back from such prosecution under the ludicrous grounds that the perpetrators would merit leniency on grounds of being Jewish.
Only the Palestinian people through our legitimate institutions and elected representatives can speak for our rights and aspirations.
No organization, party, group or individual is empowered to cede our rights to historic Palestine. In fact, we explicitly express here our intention, as soon as we recover our rights, to prosecute anyone who engaged or attempted to cede land and rights without having any mandate to do so.
Only the Palestinian people gathered in Palestine and in exile can determine their future and the future of the country. We the signatories of this document, call for either the creation of a new Liberation Party, or the rejuvenation of the PLO, as the only recognized and accepted legitimate organization of the Palestinian people.
Such an organization must be strengthened to unify the people and their capabilities, in order to be justified to speak on their behalf, and structure our fight for liberation. This party, (whether the PLO or otherwise), must unambiguously stand for, and implement a program for liberation of all of Palestine. It must be democratic, accountable, transparent and truly representative of the entire spectrum of the Palestinian Nation.
The aims and aspirations of Palestinians are not confined to a symbolic change of “Zionist regime” or a declaration of abandonment of Zionism by the Jewish-Zionist occupiers, but rather to the Full liberation of Palestine and the restoration of all our inalienable rights.
We call for a just and peaceful solution; we acknowledge that the only real road to peace is the full and unconditional liberation of Palestine, (which also means liberation from the supremacist ideology that is imposing its cruel occupation) and liberation from the racist Jewish-Zionist experiment, Liberation from the violence of colonizers and liberation from the perpetrators.
That will inevitably mean a return to the original, peaceful society Palestine was before the Zionist invasion, albeit embracing all technological and societal developments.
Our true and sincere aspirations are long lasting peace, justice and freedom. We believe that restoring Palestine for all its people will lay out the true foundations of Palestinian society, and inscribe us harmoniously in the international community, contrary to the present day occupation entity, “Israel,” which is the root cause of so many difficulties and excesses in the world community, whether in the UN or elsewhere, where “Israel” and its multinational lobby groups are fomenting wars and racial-religious friction, making international cooperation extremely difficult.
As Palestinians, we are grateful and appreciative of the hard work of all our supporters; however, we are under no obligation to hold back our march for freedom, to curtail our aims or to abandon our rights for the sake of accommodating and not offending some of the Jewish supporters who still believe that “Israel” has the right to exist as a Jewish state inside the 1948 borders.
Palestinians have the ultimate right to choose their vision for their future, of a free Palestine, including the type of government, writing of our constitution, constructing and implementing legal and systems, all of which stems from and corresponds to our ethics and reflects and protects our culture.
A Palestinian legal team of professionals and advisors must be established to prepare the legal framework and procedures, upon which laws of immigration and citizenship are defined, on the basis of which Palestinian citizenship are granted, including defining who has a Right to Remain in liberated Palestine, depending on the place of birth and providing s/he never participated in former Israeli occupation apparatus and its crimes, and is able to respect Palestinian law, and adopt a conduct respective of the community around.
All Palestinian refugees and their descendants have the unconditional right to come back home; we, the rightful indigenous owners are also entitled to the reinstatement of All confiscated (stolen) land and property, compensation for all our losses over the many years of exile, and we are also entitled to Palestinian citizenship wherever we are.
We Palestinians have not given up before, and have no intention to give up now. We will continue to pursue the course of JUSTICE and LIBERATION by all means deemed necessary and appropriate, by upholding universal humanist ethics, within the frame of International Law.
REVOKING ISRAEL’S UN MEMBERSHIP:
The settler/colonial occupation is in breach of all foundational UN Charters, and has violated and defied more UN resolutions and charter principles than any other country. This illegitimate entity has none of the qualifications necessary, neither moral nor legal nor political, required to obtain and maintain UN membership. Its current membership represents a mockery of international law, and is a disgrace to humanity. Israel’s UN membership should have never been granted in the first place.
The revocation of Israel’s UN membership is a necessity, as a step towards the rehabilitation of the already-battered framework of International Law. Concurrently, all of Israel’s institutions, laws, policies and practices must be abolished, since they discriminate against people based on religion and ethnicity.
FULL LIBERATION of HISTORIC PALESTINE:
Liberation means full sovereignty of the Palestinian Nation over their historic land, Palestine. Liberation also implies the irrevocable dissolution of the so called “state of Israel” and all its institutions. Palestine, known as “The Holy Land”, must be free from racist atrocities.
Contrary to all failed attempts, road-maps and fake negotiations which serve as dilatory measure enabling more land grabs and atrocities. The concept of full liberation and full sovereignty for Palestinians carries only advantages; including the ability to prosecute “Israeli” criminals for Crimes against Humanity.
To bring reason to the Holy Land, it is necessary to first recognize the fact that the Jewish-Zionist occupation is the sole reason there is strife in this land in the first place, and secondly, it is necessary to look back at the status pro ante, to realize that the institution of a liberated Palestine will inevitably reflect Palestinian peaceful culture and inclusive social fabric, thereby endlessly more apt to be a good standing member of the UN, and a good neighbor and partner to the world.
FULL SOVEREIGNTY of the Palestinian Nation over their ancestral country:
The Palestinian Nation has like any other nation has the aspiration and the right to select a political system, to adopt a constitution and re-construct the country. For the sake of international peace and security, it is time to return Palestine to its peaceful owners.
PROSECUTION OF WAR CRIMINALS:
A Palestinian judiciary and immigration system, will respectively prosecute former Israeli criminals and their associates, and/or grant or decline (on an individual basis), a Right to Remain in Palestine, based on criteria solely to be defined by said Immigration and Integration Services. This system should be put into place immediately.
RETURN, RESTITUTION and COMPENSATIONS:
Palestinian refugees have the unconditional Right of Return. Palestine and the Palestinian Nation at large, are entitled to full and unconditional restitution of the land and property whenever possible, coupled with appropriate compensation for more than seven decades of deprivation and slow genocide, cultural destruction, and a whole array of atrocities and usurpation.
PALESTINIAN CITIZENSHIP and NATURALISATION:
In the future democratic state of Palestine situated from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan, Palestinians are the rightful citizens.
Palestinians include those who live in the occupied homeland, and include all refugees living abroad and their descendants, all those have unrestricted right to Palestinian citizenship. For former Jewish Israelis, plans should be set on course to grant or decline on an individual basis a right to remain, based on criteria defined by an Immigration and Integration Service.
Such criteria could take into consideration place of birth and the irrefutable proof of non-participation in the former Israeli occupation apparatus and its crimes, and the demonstration during a certain period, of the candidate’s ability and willingness to be law-abiding; respecting land, culture and his/her compatriots irrespective of religion or race.
Subsequently the right to remain would be followed by unrestricted Palestinian citizenship, with equal rights. The whole procedure would be within the future framework of Palestinian Laws of Immigration and Naturalization. Undoubtedly, Palestinian immigration policies will adhere to international norms.
We hereby, call upon our friends and supporters -who hold the tragedy of Palestine, the dispossession of Palestinians of their own ancestral land dear at their heart-, to reflect upon the meaning of justice in the context of a history saturated with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
We consider any negotiations that do not lead to implementation of the above null and void.
Also, we consider any and all individuals and institutions that do not adhere to our call as illegitimate representatives of our people and rights. Thus, we call upon our people and institutions to rally behind this APPEAL and to work diligently to implement it.
We, also call upon our friends and supporters to join us in our declaration and our endeavours.
Furthermore, we call upon Jewish organizations and individuals, to take their responsibility seriously, we invite them to actively participate in restoring justice, righting the wrong, and facilitating the peaceful resolve of this chronic injustice by engaging positively, effectively and wholeheartedly to bring real change of “facts on the ground”, thus offering a remedy for healing of the Holy Land and its people, once and for all.
Moreover, we suggest they create a new Jewish fund, with agreement of every donor, to support the full and unconditional liberation in an effort to begin the lengthy process for Restitution, Reparation and Compensation for the Palestinians. A long overdue process, that will inevitably erase the seven decades long and ongoing Jewish Zionist crimes against the land of Palestine and its indigenous people.

To expose the absurd and unrealistic nature of the “one-state with equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians”, and to extract one of the main perils it encapsulates, I would mention here mainly three facts.
These facts have the double merit of being crystal clear, and also of being based on fundamental pillars of civilization, i.e. time-tested. I would suggest that they become fundamental guidelines for any further proposition:
Firstly: To allow mass-murderers, land-thieves, ideological supremacists, destroyers of Cultural Heritage to keep the loot, is ethically unacceptable. Worse still, in our era of post-Nuremberg Principles of International Law, and post-Geneva Conventions, this would represent a perilous turn backwards of the wheel of history, by re-allowing and even justifying land acquisition by means of military conquest and terrorism, down to GENOCIDE and democide.
Secondly: To force or coerce victims of slow genocide, -ongoing since seven decades, to live with their rapists and murderers of their children, is ruthless, inhumane, and also an incentive for the perpetrators to perpetuate said crimes, even increase their insane cruelty.
Thirdly: to bring to the fore the notion of “equal rights” when the parties concerned are one of dispossessed victims, and the other one of serial killers and supremacists, it constitutes an oxymoron which itself is nothing else than sabotage of the very foundation of Justice.
To sabotage foundational elements of human cohabitation, is downright perilous for mankind, and yet this is what is promoted by people under the ominously fake pretext of “peace”!
A Peace that justifies past massacres and promotes future massacres, is not Peace.
Enough is enough !
Those guilty, -individually and collectively of perpetrating horrendous crimes and atrocities in Palestine and beyond for over seven decades,-without ever facing justice, and those internationally complicit by sustaining the aggressor and occupying entity “Israel”, must get accustomed to the oncoming tsunami of lawful calls for Justice. They must also be forewarned, that there is no escape route left. After all they had seven decades of opportunity to abandon their terror methods, during which their integration into the peaceful Palestinian culture, as Jews, would have still been possible.It must be reminded that before the Jewish-Zionist invasions, Muslim majority and Christian and Jewish minorities lived harmoniously together; they all were Palestinians, irrespective of religion.
Now, having failed in every sense, for the bloodthirsty invaders and their even worse offspring, Justice is at the corner.
After over seventy years of Jewish-Zionist terrorism, of bloody history, of deception, lies, land robbery, ethnic cleansing, and slow genocide, we now observe offspring of the initial terrorists, trying to sweet talk Palestinians, with the obvious intention to facilitate a final take-over of the very few areas of Palestine yet not conquered entirely, albeit occupied. Their method of deception is a rather thin varnish of “Peace” and “humanism”, under which the same supremacist ideology lingers, with the same lust after power like flies over red meat. Anyone who deals with that surreptitious re-branding long enough, and with a modicum of sane skepticism, will rapidly discover that their nebulous “one state” never was intentioned as, and never will be, a realistic solution.
The list of reasons, one more practical and evident than the next one, as to why the small and historically Arab country Palestine, can not accommodate such masses of rabid foreigners, is too long to enumerate here in full. Let’s just keep in mind that millions upon millions of Palestinians living in forced exile around the world since over 5 decades (since 1967), respectively over 7 decades (since 1948 and before), are for most of them longing to return to their home, the home of their ancestors since centuries and millennia, and commence to heal the abominable wounds to the land the rabid Jewish-Zionists inflicted to this historic World Heritage.
It is crucial that our friends and supporters reflect upon the meaning of JUSTICE in the context of a history saturated with War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.
Justice is NOT revenge.
Justice is an imperative step to stop further crimes, assorted with unconditional restitution, reparation and compensation to be payed by the perpetrators and their accomplices, to the victims and their descendants.
As mentioned before, these inherently violent and arguably bloodthirsty criminals and vicious land grabbers, have had a full century (since the beginning of the first Jewish-Zionist invasion) to learn to coexist peacefully. Instead, they have only learned how to genocide, culturecide, democide, torture, use WMD, terrorize, destroy biblical archeological heritage, and on and on…
Enough is enough !
Participating in absolving individuals guilty of Crimes Against Humanity and other ongoing crimes since over seven decades, and whitewashing these Crimes, by simply claiming “Israel” is a mere apartheid which can be “fixed” with some pressure and with “Israel” annexing the West Bank and Gaza, and by granting Palestinians “Israeli” citizenship to “upgrade” their status from “occupied” to “slaves” in their own Homeland, and demanding nothing but marginal improvement of the treatment of Palestinians, is a betrayal to all things human and moral.
“Israelis” live on stolen Palestinian lands, in homes stolen from Palestinians, in architecturally abominable settlements which are destroying the biblical landscape Palestinians had shaped since millennia. It was called the “Holy Land” before the invasion of hordes of Jewish-Zionist terrorists, most of them Ashkenazic Jews with strictly no historic link, and NO common culture with Palestine and the Middle East. These Jewish-Zionist barbarians have uprooted millions of centuries-old olive trees, destroyed hundreds (over 90%) of biblical villages, and are selling agricultural and industrial products grown and produced on stolen land. Everyday, more hundreds of “dunums” of Palestinian land are “confiscated” or simply taken over at gunpoint, by Jewish “Israeli” terrorists, from Palestinian owners.
We should ask ourselves why is it, that so many deem it difficult to comprehend that all stolen land, all stolen property, all usurped goods and profits, must be returned to its rightful owners, let alone reparation and compensation paid whenever restitution is not possible any more, and for decades of suffering and deprivation endured by the legitimate owners of property and rights?
Where is the logic, when Jews on one hand request to this day restitution of property confiscated (and sometimes sold) during the Nazi regime, and yet they turn around and pretend that restitution of what they took from others is “not realistic”, and even “anti-Semitic”!
What is it that blinds public opinion? I would opine that main cause of this manipulation of public opinion, is due to the control of mass-medias and entertainment, as well as the corruption of polity and politicians, by Jewish-Zionist networks of influence, systematically depriving the public of the key information necessary to make informed democratic decisions. Together with me, more and more analysts come to the same conclusion. Mass medias and politicians have lost the trust of the public, hence truth begins to impose itself.
As far as the vast majority of Palestinians are concerned, our aim is to re-create a racism-free, supremacy-free, exploitation-free Holy Land. Meaning, our aim is the FULL LIBERATION of Palestine.
We should hope that one day soon, racist and supremacists would take their racism, immorality, inhumanity and hate away from the land they have wounded and defiled for that long. We also suggest that Jewish supporters who hope to regain some degree of dignity and credibility, better soon than late, take their responsibility by helping us achieve our highly moral goal. It would be time for them to relinquish, once and for all, any further attempt of legitimisation and the finalisation of the Zionist project. It would also be time to stop protecting “Israel’s” interest by defending Jewish “Israelis” self-claimed “right” to remain in Palestine and to keep the loot.
Still, myriads of Jewish Foundations which fundraises enormous sums, in the billions, from international Jewish communities, to finance either overtly or covertly the destruction of Palestine, the genocide, the destruction of cultural heritage, imprisonment and torture of children, etc, etc. The Jewish National Fund for example is one of these accomplices instrumental in the destruction of Biblical Palestinian villages and constructing “Israeli-only” colonies, and commission of other crimes, since more than a century.
Wouldn’t it be time for Jews around the planet, to begin to reverse the steam?
Wouldn’t it be time for Jews around the planet, to begin to restore a modicum of respectability, instead of being its own nemesis?
Wouldn’t it be time for Jews around the planet to begin to participate in restorative causes, rather then unwittingly cover up crimes? (it is preferable to be a Moser, than abettor, accomplice or accessory of mass-murder)
For these reasons, we hereby challenge specifically Jewish organizations and individuals, to create a new Jewish fund, in an effort to begin the lengthy and inescapable Restitution, Reparation and Compensation process, that will inevitably ensue the 7 decades long and ongoing Jewish Crimes against the land of Palestine and its indigenous people.
We suggest the fund being raised and collected exclusively from Jewish donors, being unambiguously destined and allocated solely toward Restitution, Reparation and Compensation , and being associated with agreement of every donor, to support the Full and Unconditional Liberation, Restitution, Reparation and Compensation for the Palestinians.
Our proposal means peace in the long term, with down the road a sort of restoration of the status-pro-ante, ie. Peaceful cohabitation between Palestinian Muslims, Christians and Jews, providing these citizens of Palestine respect Palestinian Law, do not engage in terrorism or treasonous activities, and for what concern those ex-Israelis who wish to remain in Palestine, that they could demonstrate to a special commission, their innocence from any oppressive or repressive or murderous activity by the then defunct “Israel”.
Our proposal represents a strict minimum our Jewish supporters should engage into because the crimes are committed in their names and with the support of the majority of world Jewry, by people who have usurped Palestine and attempted to destroy Palestinian peoplehood, in the name of their Jewishness. If Jewish self-claimed supporters of Palestine truly object to such crimes, then they have no better option, than to launch a campaign similar, -but radically opposed to the Jewish National Fund type.
Just buying a few homes here and there, or just another Jewish self-promotional white-wash agency, altogether called “support”, won’t be enough. What we need to see are Jewish supporters proving through practical and meaningful acts that they are willing to put their weight against what is still a majority of Zionist Jews, and develop a segment influential enough amongst their Jewish communities, to make significant paradigm shifts, and to raise the billions necessary to at first buy back Palestinian property, and secondly transfer this to the rightful Palestinian owners.
Instead of fundraising for Jewish “israeli” groups such as IHCAD, Windows for Peace, B’Tselem, Machsomwatch.. etc, which are generally anti-zionist only at the surface, become a “future leader” of the already inevitable reversed flow, that will restore Justice and bring Peace, and see the multitude of Palestinians in forced exile, back to their ancestral Homeland, unifying with their Palestinian compatriots who survived, heroically, 7 decades of terrorism.
Our challenge to world Jewry is to, simply: COUNTER BALANCE Rothschild.
Are they up for the challenge?

….. In occupied Palestine; Jewish-“Israeli” kids sing:
“…all the world hate the Arabs,
All the world hate the Arabs,
and the main thing is to kill them one by one,
with these feet I stepped on my enemy,
with these teeth I bit his skin,
with these lips I sucked his blood”
.
…
In occupied Palestine; Jewish-“Israeli” kids have fun in the army museum:
In Denver, Jewish-American Kindergarten play flying “off to the army base”:

GIVE ME A BREAK ! !
When they (non-semitic, atheist, Jewish, anti-Zionist “supporters”) criticise Islam, even while exposing their utter ignorance, it is “progressive”, but when Palestinians (semites, Muslims) with profound knowledge of the subject matter, criticise Jewish ideology, they are anti-Semites!
Many of our Jewish anti-Zionist detractors in the solidarity movement, who throw accusations of anti-Semitism whenever a quote from Talmud or Mishneh Torah is posted, or whenever the word Jewish ideology is mentioned, find it absolutely correct, acceptable and even “progressive” to slam Islam, and to label it with whatever comes to their minds, as if copy-pasted from a tabloid newspaper.

Stop running…why the haste
Slow down… For a moment
S…l…o…w d…o…w…n
Hold my hand, and come with me
.
See that tree over there
Come stroke her velvet leaves
Embrace her trunk
Lean your head over hers
Stand still
Close your eyes
Hold your breath
Listen
Can you hear her heart beating?
Be amazed… Be in awe!
.
Come invite this butterfly
To the palm of your hand
Watch her flapping her splendid wings
Teasing you, with hide and seek
While she leaps flying far
Look with eyes open wide
At the marvel of design
Be amazed… Be in awe!
.
Take off your shoes
Throw them away
Tread on your tiptoes
Feel the softness, laugh with joy
As you tickle the grass below
Kiss the tender loving hand
Who laid such magic carpet down
All creations are VIPs
No distinction no favouritism
Endless kindness, full of grace
Be amazed… Be in awe!
.
Come closer, smell this rose
Kneel in front and fill your soul
S…l…o…w…l…y
Do not hasten, do not ignore
Her heavenly scent is made for you
Caress the petals… and enjoy
Fill your being with gratitude
Fall on your knees
Praise the maker, head bowing down
Boundless gifts… Love Divine
Be amazed… Be in awe!

Though I have not written this song, it resonates with my soul as if every word is mine
by Jello Biafra
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To be willing to give
When there is no more to give
to be willing to die
So honour and justice may live
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Do this you lose,
Do that I win,
Losers !
You could imprison me!
With that you ONLY imprison my physical body
My joyful soul you cannot restrain
Out of your reach
Forever FREE
Floating in contentment, tranquillity and peace
Watching your despondent captive souls
Behind bars of your wickedness and lies
Walls of your guilt, fear and insecurity
***
You could kill me!
But my poetry is unassailable
The minds of many already impregnated with my words
As soon as you make me a martyr
Those seeds would be infused with life
Hubs of love
Like rays of sunshine… warm… tender… invigorating
Giving birth to a delightful dawn
Hubs of love
Like summer rain… pure… cleansing… revitalizing
Gushing through hearts and minds
Hubs of love
They’d bloom and multiply
Budding… hope, buoyant and sublime
Blossoming… verve and splendour
Just try

Our problem is that most people who are learning about the Palestinian cause and are willing to help and support, are generally very principled and compassionate people.
From this perspective, they create a paradigm which fits their model of what they know about human societies.
They project their own feelings and understanding of the world, and innocently assume that “equal rights for all” under “one state” is actually the best solution.
That my friends would work in NORMAL circumstances, when we deal with people of similar mentality, i.e humanists and who believe in inclusiveness, multiculturalism and equality of mankind.
This is not the case in Palestine.
There we have a majority of SUPREMACISTS, EXCLUSIVISTS who believe they are the “chosen”.
They believe the rest of mankind are their slaves”.
Believing that they might one day accept Palestinians as equals is like believing that if we mix a cup of water hard enough, long enough, it will turn to a nice cup of coffee
One day soon, my friends, you will come to realize that just like the two states, the delusion of “one state” will also drop dead.
This is one main reason I have been warning and writing about the role of their ideology, without understanding of which, Palestinians and their supporters would continue to run like hamsters in a mill, exhausted to no avail.
We cannot devise appropriate strategy, unless we have defined aims which comes from clear understanding of the problem.
Friends who promote a “one state”, are not aware of the serious, nay catastrophic implications on Palestinians.
The major issue remains about OWNERSHIP RIGHTS of the STOLEN LANDS, as well as the APPARATUS of POWER which is, and will REMAIN in the hands of ideologically racist Jewish “israelis”
The ENTIRE LAND of PALESTINE was STOLEN.
No amount of soft persuasion is going to make ultra Jewish Zionist give an inch of it back.
Why can’t people see this is beyond me!
The one state means in plain language:
1) Inviting the Zionist entity to ANNEX and OCCUPY what is left of Palestine.
2) Blessing the invaders with the “right” to keep the LOOT of whatever they have captured through wars of conquest and aggression.
3) Enabling the invaders to ENLARGE and EXPAND their entity, a small step towards a “greater israel”.
4) Embracing the finalization of the Zionist project.
5) Campaigning to upgrade the Palestinians’ status from “occupied” to “slaves”, living under the boot of Jewish supremacists who see Palestinians and other goyim as animals created only to serve Jews.
Are we so naive to engage promoting such insanity?
No alternative to the Algerian model of FULL LIBERATION.
So friends, THINK ALGERIA … It has only been few decades ago since Algeria gained its liberation from French SETTLER COLONIZATION, which lasted almost 150 years.
When I talk about the Algerian model I mean:
REVOKING ISRAEL’S UN MEMBERSHIP: The racist genocidal occupation entity, which was in breach of UN Charters, which has violated and defied more UN resolutions and charter principles than any other. This illegitimate entity has no moral or legal ground whatsoever to be a member of the UN. Its membership is a disgrace on the face of humanity and a mockery of International Law. Israel’s UN membership should have never happened in the first place.
FULL SOVEREIGNTY of the Palestinian Nation over their ancestral country: Palestine, with a constitution and a political system of their own independent choice. That is least that can be done to compensate for the a century of aggression, thievery, and unwarranted subjugation.
PROSECUTION OF WAR CRIMINALS: plans of which should start immediately without delay, A Palestinian JUDICIARY and IMMIGRATION System, will respectively prosecute former “Israeli” criminals and their associates, and/or grant or decline on an individual basis, a RIGHT TO REMAIN, based on criteria solely to be defined by said Immigration and Integration Services, which would take into consideration the history of the individuals and the level of their participation in maintaining the occupation.
NATIONALISATION AND PALESTINIAN CITIZENSHIP: anyone who can prove non-participation in the ex-Israeli occupation apparatus, and who has demonstrated ability and willingness to a respectable and law-abiding conduct, will probably obtain a chance to gain unrestricted Palestinian citizenship, with equal rights… Jewish “Israelis” also have the right to go back to wherever country they came from, the have the same right to return to their native countries.
RETURN, RESTITUTION AND COMPENSATIONS: Palestine and the Palestinian Nation at large, are entitled to full and unconditional Restitution of their land and property whenever possible, assorted with appropriate Compensation for more than seven decades of deprivation and slow genocide, Cultural destruction, and a whole array of atrocities and usurpation..
It is pretty obvious that the model I propose will not be welcomed by “israelis”, nor will it come about by the “return” to negotiation no matter how intense the rounds may become. It will not happen by “road maps” either, nor by sudden change of heart coupled with pure acts of kindness and generosity of “israelis”
RESISTANCE, is the keyword.
Moreover, “israel” cannot afford peace; it relies on wars, wars and more wars for its very internal survival.
“israel” cannot afford to live even for a moment of real permanent peace, simply because its INTERNAL SURVIVAL requires an ever present “EXTERNAL THREAT”, which allows that incohesive assortment of people to stick together and prevents that society from imploding from within.
That society is divided more than anyone could imagine. But its ills are concealed by an utterly exaggerated bordering mythical history of persecution, and an extremely terrifying future with a holocaust around every corner and a new Hitler popping his head in different country each time. Thus turning their present into a perpetual war-preparation and being in a permanent standby state.
Furthermore, in such state of affairs, i.e with this need for wars to stay alive, there is another crucial component, “israel” cannot afford to lose any of its wars. Any loss for “israel” is an END GAME…. GAME OVER.
Logically speaking:
1) If “israel” gets peace ===> “israel” would implode from within ===> GAME OVER
2) If “israe” continues wars of aggression ===> For it to survive, “israel” must win every single war ===>
“israel” is bound to lose one war ===> GAME OVER
For them, it is simply a lose lose situation… For us, to gain liberation, it is only a matter of time and patience, and Palestinians have got plenty of both.

“If we don’t kill, we will cease to exist”
******************************
“now you start to see where the supposed center and the far right really line up, and it’s not just the center, it’s EVERYONE ALL THE WAY to merits, to the EXTREME END OF THE ZIONIST LEFT, they REJECT THE IDEA THAT ISRAEL IS A STATE FOR ALL ITS CITIZENS and they all engaged in this mock debate which really is over the size of the cage Palestinian will live in, jumbo size, or small, because they ALL AGREE ISRAEL HAS TO ENGINEER A JEWISH DEMOGRAPHIC MAJORITY against the will of the indigenous Palestinian population, the question is how to do it” ~~~ Max Blumenthal author of Goliath – Life and Loathing in Greater Israel.
Bearing this in mind, as well as acknowledging the ideological supremacy amongst “israeli” Jews, the question which begs an answer is: why do many of the Jewish anti-Zionist left continue to deceive Palestinians into believing that “one state for all” is what they should pursue as the best solution, instead of FULL LIBERATION?

Just 5 miles away from the heart of Jerusalem, my besieged village has been converted to a concentration camp, where villagers are entrapped with only one access to the outside world, through an international-border-like checkpoint. The original road which connected Beit Iksa to Jerusalem through Beit Hanina has been permanently blocked, No one is allowed to enter except people from the village.
There is about 1200 people living in Beit Iksa, on an ever shrinking land due to military confiscation, but the vast majority (estimated 10000) are still living in exile, prevented from returning home by the Jewish-Zionist occupation.
The village was attacked in 1948, forcing the villagers out into refugee camps, leaving the old village centre completely destroyed, while the looting and burning the rest.
The villagers were able to return back to their half destroyed village after cease fire in 1949. My mother at the time was seven years old.
In 1967, a war to which I was an eyewitness, aged also seven years old, my village was ethnically cleansed for the second time, but this time those of us who evacuated in search of safety were never allowed back.
As the village was under heavy bombardment, the villagers with their fresh memories of the echoing cries of slaughtered families of Deir Yassin, panicked and started fleeing in all directions.
A group of families ended up in a nearby village, Beit Duqou, where we were kept for six days, in what I thought to be an underground shelter – only to find out 35 years later that it was a big tomb in the village grave yard.
My father who was in Syria at the time, sitting his final exams in Law School, was unable to cross the borders to be with us. The borders were open only in one direction, people were allowed, helped and encouraged through loud-speakers to leave Palestine for their own safety.
Searching for a place of safety for her five children, my young mother, alone, frightened and unable to feed or protect her children decided to join my father and to take us to a place of safety until war was over.
It has been forty six years since then, we are still waiting to go back home.



My head was stuck between those rails when I was 2 years old
I tried again but I couldn’t fit my head in this time

Sometimes, beauty is mistakenly understood;
Assuming that
If someone is beautiful, they are always good,
When truth is
When someone is good, they are always beautiful

When the ride gets rough,
Our heart songs faint

Attentive ear,
Let love bloom
Open your heart

Silent cries of babies dying pierce my ears
Deformed infants born, a nightmare called “life”
Corpses of bleeding whales paint the ocean pink
Lifeless grey trees, trunks chopped and dry
Bees falling dead “we don’t know why!”
Breathless sweet dolphins scattered by the seashore
.
.
Heavy nights descend like bricks
Hidden hands tighten around my neck
I’m breathing mud I’m breathing sand
Is it just me standing on my head?
Or is everything around upside-down?
.

Destruction… “conquest” of nature
Radioactive waste… praised as achievement
Robbery in broad day light… a “Historic Achievement”
Progress… a family is no longer mum and dad
Liberty… measured in nudity per cm², put on display
Civilisation… how many weapons a nation could amass
Science… a tool of annihilation and a mushroom cloud
Charity… bailout of bankers adding to the trillions in their “empty” coffers
If we don’t give them that, our world would collapse… yes, collapse
Economy… snatching the last piece of bread from a hungry destitute
Financial growth… interest goes up and up, while life goes down
Security… watching every move, recording every word, just to keep us “safe”
Technology… counting every breath, monitoring every dream only just in case
Defence… watch out, every blink of an eye might be a “secret code”,
Every social gathering could be a “sleeping cell”, call 999 only just in case
.
O dear Beloved God
How could such a small heart
Take all this pain
.

All I want to be
Is a flower
or leaf in a tree
Hide forever
Where no one could see
Look up into Heaven
Smile at flying angels
As they smile at me

Promoting “one state” after the failure of the “two states” means in plain language:
1) Legitimizing the usurping entity of “israel”, worse, it is a call for promoting the enlargement of its boundaries, to encompass the ENTIRE land of Palestine, by annexing what remains of Palestine.
2) Wiping out the Palestinian Identity by giving Palestinians “israeli” citizenship, thus covertly calling for the “israelization” of what remains of Palestinians.
3) Inviting the Zionist entity to ANNEX and OCCUPY what is left of Palestine.
4) Blessing the invaders with the “right” to keep the LOOT of whatever they have captured through wars of conquest and aggression.
5) Enabling the invaders to ENLARGE and EXPAND their entity, a small step towards a “greater israel”.
6) Embracing the finalization of the Zionist project.
7) Campaigning to upgrade the Palestinians’ status from “occupied Palestinian” to “slave israelis”, living under the boot of Jewish supremacists who see Palestinians and other goyim as animals created only to serve Jews.
Are we so naive to engage promoting such insanity?
No alternative to the Algerian model of FULL LIBERATION

Let us learn, brothers and sisters in humanity
Let us learn
Let us learn that JUSTICE is the backbone of all DIVINE Laws
Let us learn that COMPASSION and MERCY are the gift-wrap
Which makes our justice so sublimely beautiful
Filed under: Videos | Leave a comment »
Our quest for JUSTICE through our pursuit of TRUTH is what should keep our intentions pure and our actions noble.
Our passion for humanity, beauty, harmony and equality is what allows love to grow in our hearts unhindered.
Like the Holy Land that is Palestine, it shines with goodness through the pursuit of its people for spiritual truth and by existing in harmony with nature and the pace of nature.
What makes it Holy and so breathtakingly beautiful is its embrace of that which is organic, pure and natural.
Thus, when we align ourselves in full harmony with the epitome of Nature’s Divine Laws, i.e Balance outlined with Beauty, translated in human terms as Justice embraced with Compassion, we become one with all there is.
If we slip, however, into following the deceptive and oppressive methods of those whom we oppose, we lose the battle and it would be our defeat.

There is a flower in my heart

“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The metaphor of His Light
is that of a niche
in which there is a lamp,
the lamp inside a glass,
the glass like a brilliant star,
lit from a blessed tree, an olive,
neither of the east nor of the west,
its oil all but giving off light
even if no fire touches it
Allah guides to His Light whoever he wills
and Allah makes metaphors for mankind
and Allah has knowledge of all things”
(Qur’an 24:35)
اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونِةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ

Whenever I finish writing an article or a poem, I think to myself, that’s it now, I have said all what I needed to say, I have poked into wasps nests, divulged forbidden topics and delved into taboos, few are willing to touch. I have also expressed the very innermost deepest sentiments and thoughts of my being, I am done now. I am ready to depart. Nothing left to say or to write about.
Before I know it
I fall upon a crime
An image of life pulverised
A frozen tear of a beloved child
Stabs my heart
Coils my guts in crazy knots
Rips my soul
Like a dagger piercing into my existence
Like a volcano erupting in my conscience
Like a burning bullet whizzing through my mind
My limbs tremble in agony
My hearts pounds like thunder
I weep of pain
I scream of rage and anger
A poem is born
Other times,
Wondering in my world
I fall upon a dream
A vision tickles my heart
Melt it away, like butter on a hot tray
Like a baby’s hand
Wrapped around my finger
Like a blanket of stars
Embracing my estrangement
Caressing my wounds
Swaying my soul in an ocean of love
Whispering a lullaby of heaven in my ear
I twirl in dazzlement
Wallow in delight
My heart pounds like thunder
My eyes moisten of joy
My limbs tremble in ecstasy and bewilderment
A poem is born

- For no particular reason there is global hatred against Jews which is inexplicable and incurable. Hatred which is spread all over the world geographically and historically,
- They are an endangered species if they don’t aggressively and exclusively work to preserve their “race”, they will end up extinct,
- There is a holocaust around every corner awaiting to exterminate them to the point of total annihilation,
- Their “core Jewish values” are supreme set of morals unmatched by others, it contains nothing but good,
- They are, for whatever inexplicable reason (genetic/nurtured for the secular and miraculous/ divine, for the religious) “smarter” and more successful than others,
- Their “financial success”, their “intelligence” and their “achievements” made them subjects of envy, hatred and jealousy thus persecution throughout history,
- Throughout history people rejected them and ghettoised them against their wishes,
- This vendetta of the world against them calumniated in the catalytic event of the holocaust, which was the worst crime humanity has ever seen, has pushed them to stick together, choosing “Never again” as their inspirational motto shared by all,
- Thus fighting antisemitism and affirming the narrative of their rabbinic establishment about their “history of persecution” is a prime priority surpassed by none, it is the only way to “prevent” the upcoming holocaust,
- They have to be permanently on guard, vigilant and alert to pick up the slightest sign of “antisemitism” and to catch it and kill it before it hatches,
- They are a tiny minority having to survive in a sea of hatred, wherever they are, thus every member and his/her efforts count,
- The global Jewish communities are innocent victims used by imperialism and Zionism and not supporters, enablers and alibis of the “Jewish state” and its crimes,
Such perception reeks of anti-human, actually of human-loathing sentiments, for its hidden connotations indirectly accuse humanity of pure evil, irrationality and stupidity combined, consequently makes-believe that they are way better than such “infantile human race”, superior in their morality and intellect, for they don’t stoop to such lows of “irrational hatred”. Thus, by this assumption about the existence of an innate hatred of Jews in the human condition, they set themselves morally apart and above the rest of mankind.

After many years of studying Jewish ideology, I came to believe that such perception of world hatred is nothing but projection. It is in fact a concealment for the inadequate and troubling feelings which may arise when they read the anti-human deluge in many of their sacred books and when they listen to Torah’s Commander-in-Chief teaching them that gentiles only exist to serve Jews.
In order to justify and explain away the supremacist hate-filled books about the “inherent evil” and the “inferiority” of the gentiles, compared to those who are “chosen”, they find solace and easing of conscience by accusing gentiles of irrationality and unfathomable “Jew-hatred”. Consequently -except for the brave few, they NEVER EVER find the courage, modesty or decency to look in the mirror and question the racist and supremacist ideology glaring and screaming at any objective observer. Never having the honesty and sincerity to reevaluate their deeds through which they either actively or passively support a criminal genocidal entity (except for the few, who then get accused of self-hatred, ostracised and persecuted).
Like spoiled little brats, who got used to getting their own little way, to do what they want and bully whomever they want, without ever being held accountable, they shout, scream and throw a tantrum whenever they are told off or confronted with truth.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
STOP getting hysterical, shouting antisemitism at every genuine criticism
START looking within, reflecting and thinking
Tough inner journey has to be undertaken to eventually help those who search for truth and to enable them to see the perceptive of the gentile outsider, mixed with a little bit of empathy and humbleness, i.e putting themselves in the shoes of the “non chosen” for a little while and try to see the world from that perspective:
Those who refuse to look within, reject making this painful journey, clutch to layers of indoctrinations, and ignore serious questions of the self, as to why do they behave in such an irrational, stiff and reactionary manner when Jewish ideology is brought to table, and why do they want to keep such ideology beyond the boundaries of discussion ;
Those who refuse to shake their super-sized ego and look it in the eye, feeling snug and satisfied with their own fixated views and rejecting the idea that there might be different views out there;
Those who continue to chase phantom ghosts outside their own selves, thinking that doing so would ease their fear of the “upcoming holocaust” and would slay the ogres of “antisemitism” infesting the imagination of their indoctrinated childhood;

Would you forget me?
If I disappear from your life
You asked me once
Teasing you
I replied
With this memory of mine
There are no guarantees
I don’t trust it with any thing
You know
I might know people for years
But when I meet in the street
My mind goes blank
I know that I know them
But that’s as far as it goes
.
.
.
Now
All I want is
One moment of forgetfulness
One moment of insanity
One moment in which
I am
Not
Thinking
Of you

Trying to squeeze feelings into words
No act of justice at all
It distorts… disfigures
Belittles… demeans
A great offence without a doubt
To my shame and my disgrace
I confess, I am to blame
Truly “Guilty” I declare
Defend me not I don’t deserve
For feelings can only be felt
So, when I write about my love
Don’t ever think I’m making sense
No language can ever convey
The boundless, the eternal
Expression falls short by far
Feelings can only be felt
When I write about my sorrow
Don’t dare believe my words or verses
My speech is nothing but hollow hues
How can the infinite ever be defined
Feelings can only be felt
Truly “Guilty” I declare

Why Palestinians should resist and NOT accept to be dragged and distracted, by the so called Jewh-anti-Zionist “supporters” into fighting side battles of “antisemitism”, “holocaust denial”, “conspiracy theories” and “LGBT rights”:
Filed under: Articles | Leave a comment »
This article is not a condonation or justification of any form of discrimination or persecution against people with various sexual orientations or disorders, it is a mere expression of an opinion and sharing of concerns associated with promoting explicit sexual education amongst children and pressurising other societies to change their codes of ethics, thus destroying the cradle of child-protection, the family unit being the foundation of these societies.
For whatever reason, I often find myself engaged in writing about taboo topics which very few are willing to touch, and expressing “politically incorrect” views, which no one is willing to even ponder about, this article is just one of those.
One of the main reasons that pushed me to speed up and write this article, besides its core subject, the welfare of children, is my observation of some huge efforts which have been exerted to make the issue of “sexual orientation” an integral part of the Palestinian struggle for Liberation!
As a mother and a grandmother with great love and devotion for children, as a human being with intense concern for children’s welfare, and as Palestinian, with a deep rooted culture, in which FAMILY -not the individual, is the nucleus of society, I feel the need to drop my two cents on the issue of adult sexual behaviour and the need of child protection.
Palestinian culture, being predominantly Muslim, is essentially a culture of faith where believing in a Creator, accepting that actions have consequences and taking responsibility for people’s own deeds are core concepts in its philosophy.
Most socio-dynamics in Islamic societies stems from that belief; starting with God-man relationship, ending with man-nature relationship, including all which is in-between. i.e. the boundaries of personal freedoms, and extents of responsibilities in the human-human relationship.
Such traditional culture views society NOT as the sum of its individuals, behaving as disconnected atoms floating in a vacuum, but rather the very expanded social collective of families and extended families, which results is a neatly woven, well bonded social fabric, in which the welfare of the whole is understood to precede that of the individual. Acting exactly as an organic body, of which all cells are connected and important.
At the heart of such societies the concept of “All mankind are born free but OUR FREEDOM ENDS WHEN THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS BEGINS”.
Such culture puts very strong emphasis on the role of traditional family in the upbringing, welfare, health and protection of its children (the nucleus family ; consisting of mother and father, and the extended family consisting of relatives as well as neighbours and friends)
Is it not only reasonable then to assume that any ideology or practices which prioritises the INDIVIDUAL and puts their selfish desires up and above the welfare of the whole, might not fulfil the needs of a deeply religious, family oriented and tightly woven society?
If Muslims choose freely to have some restriction upon themselves (like modest dress code, abstinence from consuming alcohol or self-discipline in sexual behaviour) in order to create a more attentive and more protective, more family oriented atmosphere for the sake of its most vulnerable members, namely children, what harm is there in that?
If the support for human rights in Palestine or elsewhere in the world is conditional and dependent on people denouncing their religion, cultural heritage, and social traditions and adopting new sets of social behaviour alien to them, which only mirrors that of the West; does not that mean denying them a most basic human right, the right to think, and live within a specific ethical code and legal system of their own choice?
The East has different history and different experiences, different perspective on existential issue and different views of the world. It has different social structures, different ways of dealings with it’s social wells and of healing its ills, thus it is nonsensical and rather presumptuous to assume that East and West share exactly the same problems, thus need the same solutions!
TRANSFERRING the PROBLEMS of the West onto the East, then JUXTAPOSING the SAME SOLUTIONS on the East is rather shortsighted and very condescending, IMHO.
Trying to standardise and sum up humanity in the form of Western civilisation is a grave mistake. We can’t simply assume that what is good and right for the western culture is the norm, nor we can accept that it is superior to that of other cultures, and for me this is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. The Muslim world has suffered enormously from colonial imperialism, military and economic occupation, we are longing for FREEDOM, but the freedom that we long most for is the FREEDOM of THOUGHT.
We have to come to common grounds of accepting that each culture and civilization has its own structure that depends very much on a huge heritage and millennia of accumulated experiences, understanding this and respecting it is vital for the future peaceful existence of human race.
I don’t think it is my business, or anyone’s business for that matter to know what people do in their bedrooms, or to be exposed to such private matters, let alone be asked to support, take pride in, demonstrate for, or celebrate what people do in the privacy of their own homes.
However, like every issue in the world, people are entitled to express an opinion or to have personal views on it, such views should not be considered as “persecution”, “infringement”, or “violation of the human rights” of LGBT or homosexuals.
.
.
All the above should raise red flags in any decent person’s head, it should ring alarm bells and concern with those who care about children’s welfare and wellbeing.
.
I see so much contradiction in dealing with these issues in Western societies:
Exposing children to all sorts of information images and materials, encouraging them to be sexually aware, sexually educated and active as young as possible, yet pretending to want to protect them from sexual abuse.
Campaigning for human rights of one group yet being ever so quiet about other groups of similar tendencies.
Trying to shelter children from abuse yet see nothing wrong in putting them in a situation where they might be endangered; emotionally, mentally and psychologically abused.
Allow me here to storm your brains by throwing out some questions:
Homosexuality is what it is, a sexual orientation, like any other, so why make it into a defining identity?
Why should people be defined and take so much “pride” by such a narrow aspect of their behaviour, done in the privacy of their own bedrooms?
Why should the rest of mankind -including the young ones, engage in promoting, celebrating and taking pride in the sexual act of some of its adult members?
Why should humanity be split into two categories : hetro, homo, thus identified by such limiting and insignificant parameters?
Can we really tell how civilized a county is by the size of its pride parades?
Is civility and respect of human rights measured by its celebration of how fast growing its homosexual population?
Is it not total regression, to define ourselves merely by our sexuality -rather than by our morality and intellect?
Can we define humanity by two groups: those who love to sleep on their backs and those who prefer sleeping on their sides or tommies?
Can we start having “Pride Parades” for left-handed people, or for people who prefer using coloured tissue-paper in the bathroom, rather than the common white, for they too are minorities?
Do the words “WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR BEDROOMS, SO PLEASE DON’T BOTHER US WITH IT” mean anything to anybody?
If this zealous support of homosexuality is all about human rights, why do people in the west favour to defend the human rights of homosexuals yet they are not so keen on the human right of:
Paraphilias: Exhibitionism, Fetishism, incest, Frotteurism, Zoophilia, Mysophilia Necrophilia, Troilism, Coprophilia, Masochism, Sadism, Transvestitism, and Voyeurism?
For the sake of fairness, equal opportunity and refusal of double standards, should we not broaden the scope of tolerance and change the name of LGBT to this LGBTEFIZMNTCSVP?
All the above display “less-common” sexual behaviours. Just like homosexuals, they too can not control the impulses and desires they feel, and they are only sexually fulfilled in their own different way, so should they be invited to schools to “educate” children about their sexual peculiarities?
Should humanity celebrate a week “pride parade” for each and every sexual orientation or deviation there is?
Why are they –unlike homosexuals- given medical advice and psychological treatment instead of being accepted as they are?
Why are they forced by society to suppress their feelings and “live miserably” instead of promoting and celebrating their sexual habits in public?
Who can define sexual disorder, or “normal” and “abnormal”, who is allowed to vote?
Who has the right to draw the lines?
Why is it that those who view homosexuality and transgender as disorders are condemned and accused of being homophobes?
Do exhibitionists have the right to fulfil their desires and take pride in their sexuality by imposing their nudity and public sexual behaviour on society?
Whose rights come first exhibitionists or society and its children?
Do we become cruel, anti-human-rights bigots and exhibiphobes if we objected to the public sexual gratification of exhibitionists?
What about Zoophilia (people who are attracted to animals) or Necrophilia (gratification by having sexual contact with dead bodies), should that be legalised?
Is a man entitled to marry a dog, a goat, a corpse, or a woman’s underwear in church?
Why are such individuals not allowed to promote their sexuality, teach children about it and celebrate it publicly?
Is it appropriate and healthy to have children reading stories titled “My daddy John and my mummy black & red underwear”?
or “My daddy Harry and my mummy mountain goat”?
Will there be human right groups calling for the right of those people to get married and adopt children? After all this person is only expressing his love and is harming no one in the process?
Are we sure that teaching very small children all this intimate adult materials would have no negative effect on their emotional, psychological and mental state ?
It is clear that with paedophilia children’s rights are violated, because they are unable to give their consent as they are immature, vulnerable and unable to make good judgement. But why are we seeing individuals and groups trying to legalise and normalise such criminal activities?
Who can decide who is a child then?
Who can define an acceptable age of consent?
Is a 16 year-old a child? Is 12, 13, 14, 15 year-old a child?
Why then girls and boys as young as 12 are – by law- given contraceptive on demand?
Is it ok for children to have sexual relations with mates of similar age or a few years older?
How many years difference is deemed acceptable?
What age difference makes the relationship unlawful and wrong (Paedophiliac)?
Who can regulate and have the say on this?
What about the rights of adopted children, what effect will have on their psychological health, having two mums or two dads, and not knowing their biological parents?
Nowadays, where exactly is the persecution of homosexuals in the west, where is the abuse of their human rights?
Where is it all heading?

Is there an end to how far humanity would go in its abuse of children in order to gravitate its most primitive behaviour?
Have we not learnt yet the harm which would be caused to children by such abuse because of certain tribal customs amongst some communities?
Is expressing an opinion considered “infringement on rights”?
Moreover, why impose on the rest of the world, Western definitions, Western values, Western problems, and inflict Western solutions upon them?
Isn’t that yet another form of imperialism, i.e thought imperialism?
If Western countries along with with LGBT and gay-rights “activists” are so keen to help other “undeveloped” societies into “progress”, wouldn’t their help be much more appreciated when it gives the other the freedom they desire in devising their own social structure and the respect they deserve in choosing ethical codes of their own?
.

They may never have experienced the so called “freedom” of having relationships
outside the frame of marriage, but they are committed, faithful and content
Wouldn’t be more modest to learn about other cultures, how they function, how their people interact, and how they solve problems, resolve conflicts and deal with disagreements, before thinking of exporting ideas, educating others’ children and imposing their solutions to imaginary problems?
Do we have sufficient knowledge as to the effect of early exposure to certain explicit sexual materials or behaviour might have on young children, how harmful?
Who have the right to decide what is appropriate, descent, acceptable exposure for children?

How do you feel if in other societies, majority of its citizens view homosexuality as a disorder?
In societies where the welfare of the whole is much important than the individual, who are encouraged to practice self restraint, sacrifice, and altruism, rather than pursuing selfish fulfilment and egoism, if they willingly give up some desires in order to keep a healthy society and less traumatized children; why the obsession with imposing change?
If some societies cherish family unit as foundations of a healthy society, and views protection, care and commitment as the finest expression of love, thus producing a socially cohesive and healthy society, where the weak is looked after and the needy is provided for, why attempting to replace it with failed experiments as documented in many Western societies, where family units are disintegrating and individualism is eating the fabric of society away?
Now, is the issue of promoting and celebrating homosexuality (again, I reiterate, a private act which should not be anyone’s business) related to the Palestinian struggle for Liberation?
Are we obliged to start teaching our young Palestinian boys and girls about homosexual and LGBT “persecution” and “abuse of human rights” in order to be “accepted” as “progressive” society worthy of support?
Are we obliged to start competing with”Israel” which prides itself of being gay heaven in order for our supporters to be satisfied?
Just like attempting to tie our Palestinian struggle for liberation with causes which only distracts us from focusing on our goals and deplete our energies, like fighting “antisemitism”, “holocaust denial”, or “conspiracy theories”, pretending that this is the way for Palestine liberation, we refuse the imposition and the premises that the issue of “homosexuality is central to our cause”.
We refuse to consider sexual orientation issues as primal or urgent issues to be dealt with immediately, or that it the most burning issue in our quest for justice and freedom, when we have not yet achieved the most basic and fundamental human right ever, the right of SURVIVAL,
We do not accept to see our Palestinian struggle for freedom hijacked and used by some campaign groups who try to piggy-back on the Palestine cause in order to promote their own agenda and campaigns for “sexual freedom”, which would only distract, complicate and skew the essense of Palestine issues.
Moreover, this issue should be left to the Palestinians and other societies to examine, discuss and deal with, in its own time and in accordance with its own ethics and what is best for those societies.
We refuse to be distracted and our aims obscured by side issues while we struggle for survival facing threats of genocidal magnitude.

They may be struck with extreme poverty, but they are protective of one another
They are bonded with love and commitment
My fear is that all this promotion and disproportionate importance given to homosexuality, would be used as the first crack in the foundational rock of human ethics which took mankind millennia of evolution and slow progress in order to fine-tune complex and refined moral systems founded on justice and compassion, thus followed by all sorts of sexual ill-behaviours; child molesting, beastality, and incest would cause total regression and collapse of nucleus family units bringing us back to stone age.
If prematurely and inappropriately and for selfish reasons, children are to be exposed to all these types of adult sexual behaviour, are we not allowed to cry then, where is the their safety and protection? Isn’t all this direct infringement on children’s right?
Conclusion
It is more wise, humanly decent and respectable to let various societies -especially the ones under threat of eradication, like the Palestinian society, exercise their rights of freedom of thought, by following ethical code of their own choice and without manufacturing artificial consent imposed upon them by donor countries or any other pressure group.
It is more wise, humanly decent and respectable to let children be children, do not rob them of their purity and childhood.
Children are not meant to be exposed to concepts, images, words or acts which they are not ready for.
Allow them time to enjoy being young and innocent and carefree, without having to be burdened with adult stuff.
Allow them to grow up and mature in their own time.
Allow them to play without concern, to run light-heartedly and to laugh loudly when they slide or use a swing.
Allow them to BE.

Give them protection
Allow them to play
Allow them to jump and run
Allow them to have fun
Allow them freedom to BE
Disclaimer:
This article is not a condonation or justification of any form of discrimination or persecution against people with various sexual orientations or disorders, it is a mere expression of an opinion and sharing of concerns associated with promoting explicit sexual education amongst children and pressurising other societies to change their codes of ethics, thus destroying the cradle of child-protection, the family unit and the foundation of these societies.

Zionism is the practical expression of tribal/ nationalistic Judaism, and “Israel” is the manifestation of Zionism.
Both, “Israel” and Zionism -as well as the ideology of their global supporters of Jewish-Zionists, are founded on some SUPREMACIST MYTHS :
Such supremacy is not confined to the ideological extremists nutcases, it is widespread amongst many sections of society, religious and secular alike.
What we have is what can be called “Jewish ideology”, which does not necessarily involve being religious or believing in a creator. It does involve however, the belief in “Jewishness”, which is in essence a MINDSET of “us and them“, of EXCLUSIVITY of a tribe, ENTITLEMENT of leadership, and SUPERIORITY of race, intellect and morality.

They are not born that way, it is the indoctrination drummed in their heads from very young age, which causes them to favour tribalism over universality, thus shedding off their own humanity in the process.
Such skewed perception of reality cannot survive the test of time, the inevitable will happen and sooner or later reality will hit them in the face.

Collectively, this entity with such grandiose image of itself, has become a force of destruction, it carries within its womb the seeds of its own demise.
Exclusion and superiority by their very nature are mechanisms of elimination and destruction, including self-elimination and self destruction.
I am confident that mankind will be provided with the necessary resolve, courage and creativity to rid it self of those who strive to enslave, divide and destroy.
Sustainable human societies functions in ways that supremacists have no understanding, control or mastery of. Systems of Justice will inevitably re-emerge on the ruins of rotten old ones. With the hard work, dedication, steadfastness, energy, sacrifice and love of those who are sincere, undoubtedly, a more just system will organically rise from the ashes to replace that which has caused the world so much pain and agony.
The same system we see all around us in this fabulous mysterious universe of ours, dancing between utter mayhem and chaos to supreme balance and harmonious order, and between utter annihilation to new creation.
It’s the very same marvellous Cycle of Life, that irresistibly strives towards perfection; towards the Most Sublime, Most Gracious, Most High.

No matter how much they try to “soften” the face of supremacist psychopaths, no matter how much they try to “normalize” their crimes and whitewash their behaviour, the truth remains ugly and glaring.
Something went terribly wrong in the mindset and attitudes of those people. Something is totally skewed in their perception of themselves and the world. The ideology of supremacy, the indoctrination, and the sheer facial expressions reflective of revolting arrogance leaves you speechless.
After watching this “Israeli” documentary, I realised that it is not a genuine attempt to “expose” crimes and inhumane behaviour of the soldiers at checkpoints, but rather to whitewash the horrific nature of cold-blooded murders committed at these check points by these soldiers. It is an attempt give a “humane face” which begs for sympathy by presenting psychopathic soldiers in the image of imature innocent friendly adolescents who all they want is to “laugh”, “joke”, “have fun”, “take pictures” and be “with mommy”.
This work is not an investigative work, which aims to identify criminals, and uncover those who participated in it. It is not a documentation of a crime-scene, but rather a statement of protection: “hey, we know our boys have done some naughty things, but they are not bad boys at all”.
Omitting to mention the beatings of children, the killing, the shooting, the watching of patients die and of pregnant women give birth in agony and distress, which have been regular occurrences at these checkpoints, making them “execution and murder points” rather than just “check points”, thus concealing the horrific, violent and sadistic activities, which translates to a deadly grinding daily reality in which Palestinians are forced to live under at gunpoint, is rather revealing and revolting.
Filmed 10-12 years ago, at the peak of Second Intifada, where shooting Palestinians was a daily practice, undoubtedly, this piece of work is another form of highly sophisticated hasbara piece which is done with the help of “perception management experts” as it is the nature of “Israeli” propaganda media, allowing criticism to certain degree, to give an image of a free, democratic, self–regulating and caring society which is even allowed to criticise their army.
At the same time their criticism is done “humanely”, not with the intention to identify murderers, hence to file legal cases against the culprits, it is done in a manner that causes criminals the least damage. It does not present their murderous activities as something to be dragged into courts of justice for prosecution and to pay for their crimes.
Such concealment, dressed up s “exposure” is worthy only of contempt.

This type of legal expose is what pro-Palestinian activist must focus on.
Collecting legal documents and hard evidence which would enable Palestinians to expose the ILLEGALITY and ILLEGITIMACY of ‘israel”, and PROSECUTE its war criminals and their supporters and enables world wide
I thought I would clarify the question of whether the UN “created Israel,” since most people – even many of those who are otherwise well-versed on Palestine – are misinformed on this important matter.
The fact is that UN General Assembly Resolution 181, the Partition Plan (read below), was a recommendation that was to go to the Security Council. In the resolution the General Assembly requested that the Security Council take it up. This never happened, and the partition plan has no force of law.
Israeli propagandists, however, perpetrated the myth that the UN created Israel, and this interpretation was then been repeated by numerous others. Please see an excellent article on this, “New States Are Not Created in the UN“. Below is an excerpt:
“…was it true that Israel owed its very existence to the U.N., as it became popularly perceived years later? …This same line of argument was repeated… by an Israeli analyst in the opinion section of the New York Times, who wrote that the vote on Nov. 29 was the “legal basis for the establishment of the State of Israel.”
Leading international legal scholars have vociferously rejected this claim. The noted Australian legal scholar Professor Julius Stone wrote in 1980 that Israel “does not derive its legal existence from the Partition Plan.”
Even Cambridge University’s Professor James Crawford… concluded in his monumental book on the creation of states in international law that Israel was not created on the basis of Resolution 181…”
In reality, Israel was created by a war of of conquest and ethnic cleansing, which it calls its “War of Independence.”
I hope people will read my article on this subject: “ The Real Story of How Israel Was Created. Among other things, this piece describes how Zionists bribed and threatened varous UN member nations in order to procure sufficient votes to pass the resolution. (For citations on this see my article on how the US-Israel “special relationship” was created.)
Below is an excerpt from General Assembly Resolution 181, also called The Partition Plan [emphases added]. (Read the full resolution at the link below.)
The General Assembly,
Having met in special session at the request of the mandatory Power to constitute and instruct a special committee to prepare for the consideration of the question of the future government of Palestine at the second regular session;
Having constituted a Special Committee and instructed it to investigate all questions and issues relevant to the problem of Palestine, and to prepare proposals for the solution of the problem, and
Having received and examined the report of the Special Committee (document A/364) 1/ including a number of unanimous recommendations and a plan of partition with economic union approved by the majority of the Special Committee,
Considers that the present situation in Palestine is one which is likely to impair the general welfare and friendly relations among nations;
Takes note of the declaration by the mandatory Power that it plans to complete its evacuation of Palestine by 1 August 1948;
Recommends to the United Kingdom, as the mandatory Power for Palestine, and to all other Members of the United Nations the adoption and implementation, with regard to the future government of Palestine, of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union set out below;
Requests that
(a) The Security Council take the necessary measures as provided for in the plan for its implementation…

I hide my eyes
So not to see
I can’t anymore

Flowers crushed at the foothill
Daggers slashing lilies in the neighbourhood
Tearing them to pieces
Orphaned Poppies weeping in agony
begging for help
Anyone there?

I can’t anymore

A humiliated father, a home pulled down
A terrorised child, a bleeding wound
A mother traumatised, burying her beloved
The blind-hearted, blind-minded
Still splashing his cheeks with blood
Is there more?

I can’t anymore

Sanctuaries desecrated, disgraced
Ostracised Jerusalem pleading for help
To no avail
Arab-leadership, naked and subdued
Monsters against each other
Lambs and sheep in front of invaders
Drunken in the arms of molesters
Who wants more?

وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ
Taking Qur’an as the yardstick by which we measure our thoughts, words and actions, it can easily be noticed that the emphasis on the idea that the Ummah should follow the MIDDLE PATH, and not to allow itself to be lead astray by deviating from the natural way, the middle way. Being grounded in moderation, and accepting with dignity and courage, personal responsibility by using one’s own intellect , rather than being a blind follower of another human-being, is an essential part of the Qur’anic message.
However, humans being what they are, -fallible and imperfect, we were unable to live up to this standard, and often surrender our own intellect to others in order to avoid taking responsibility of our thoughts, words and actions.
Many Muslims of today have abandoned their responsibility and surrendered their faculty of thinking to others, call them imams, mullas, scholars or whatever other name.
Emerging out of this many splinter groups and schools of thoughts, including the well known; Salafi and sufi, presenting two opposites on the spectrum of Islamic interpretations.
On the one hand some Wahabbi teachings and practices often exhibit literal, law-like, rigid, hair-splitting, superficial, almost void of understanding the essence of the message, narrow minded interpretation, often dismissive of the mind and intellect in favour of inflexible, literal interpretation” of inherently rich text, attempting to squeeze a universal vast and glorious message into an obsessionally controlled set of rules. Such interpretation eeringly resembles Talmudic methods and Talmudists mindset.
While on the other hand, some Sufi teachings and practices often exhibits vague, esoteric, hierarchal, superstitious interpretation, elevating mortal beings into sacred, holy and infallible beings, often dismissive of the mind and intellect in favour of heart and intuition. Such interpretation eeringly resembles Qabbalistic methods and Qabbalists mindset
I got the shock of my life when I discovered lately that one “Salafi preacher” and another “Sufi master” have actually come together preaching the same sinister message.
So, what do “Salfis” and “Sufis” managed to have in common?
Two opposing poles of Islamic interpretation, Salafism and Sufism have magically merged, meeting in the most peculiar places. They agreed on one thing; the Zionist, traitor and corrupt King Abdullah of Jordan is the long awaited hero who is going to unite the Ummah and liberate Palestine and Al-Aqsa. His son allegedly is going to be the “Mahdi” .
When two opposing poles meet on something so bizarre and so erroneous, is to me a strong enough evidence suggesting these two movements have been long infiltrated and misguided.
Beware my Ummah, some grey individual with sinister agendas have infiltrated Islam.
Here is someone who claims to be a “salafi”, and he calls upon all Muslims to give allegiance to King Abdullah of Jordan:

Here is someone who poses as a “sufi master”, and he also calls upon all Muslims to give allegiance to King Abdullah of Jordan (Minute 33 onwards):

NOTE
This post is continuously updated whenever a new “antisemitic” false flag is faked
“I remember as a young rabbi working with university students in Johannesburg in the late 1970’s. At that time, they were completely apathetic to Judaism. My colleagues and I were struggling to elicit any meaningful response to Jewish programs on campus. During one particular meeting, we seriously contemplated getting up in the dead of night to spray-paint some swastikas on the Student Union building. Surely, that would get some reaction! ”
~~~ Rabbi Yossy Goldman
“The French philosopher, Jean Paul Sartre, argued that anti-Semitism has been good for the Jews. It has kept Jews Jewish! While no one wants to be oppressed, and we reject anti-Semititsm categorically, the man does have a point. When antisemitism bites, we intuitively know how to respond. But when the world is in a kissing mood, we don’t quite know how to handle it. ”
~~~ Rabbi Yossy Goldman

“I write this article for the same reason I wrote my book: to tell the American people, and especially American Jews, that Jews from Islamic lands did not emigrate willingly to Israel; that, to force them to leave, Jews killed Jews; and that, to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands, Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their Arab neighbors. I write about what the first prime minister of Israel called “cruel Zionism.” I write about it because I was part of it.”

My Beloved
I did not see You
But, with the whispers in my heart I knew
Is that possible?
Is it possible, a heart would fall in love,
With whom she never saw?
.
.
Can anyone who tasted the sweetness of such love
Ever deny?
Can it ever know bitterness?
Or think of running away?
.
Can prostrating souls
Accept subjugation?
Or ever engage in deception?
.
Oh my Hope …
I was little girl
Agonized with nostalgia
Went looking for you
Her sanity disintegrated, while searching
Couldn’t find her heartbeats
Her imagination inflamed… wild
Her sight estranged
Mesmerised, pulled up toward Heaven
Hoping to see your face
Longing for purification with your Light
Dreaming of a drop of mercy
Affectionate, tender, blessed with dew
And yearning for one moment of closeness …. Eternal
.
My Beloved… You are the One who Knows
If kneeling down would be a struggle sometimes
For this frail body, aching and sore
Soul never cease prostrating
Ever satisfied, care not for the pain
The heart tranquil and serene
Does not know fright
.
Hasten, my heartbeats, race your shadow
Fly above your imagination
Knock at the door of my Beloved
Chant your longing in supreme adoration
Scatter your poetry like shimmering stars
Like flowers, meadows and roses
Like the scent of lavender
Plaited daisies and dandelions
O my heartbeats, align
Standup and sway
Tune in and smile
Throb in devotion… infinite, eternal
.
In the name of my Beloved, sing
Until you melt away …
And perish …
In the name of my Beloved, sing
Until
You return

Maybe some of the alleged “supporters” of Palestine would find this interesting, and maybe they would like to join Abe Foxman in his struggle of “fighting antisemitism“… He does it with the same logic and passion as they do:
“The Deadliest Lies: The Israeli Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control”
Recorded on October 29, 2007
Location: The Heritage Foundation’s Lehrman Auditorium
Abraham Foxman – noted representative of the Jewish community and staunch defender of human rights – delivers a powerful rebuttal to the idea of “The Israel Lobby” and the myth of a global Jewish conspiracy. He shows how old stereotypes associated with the most virulent forms of bigotry have been resurfacing and taking subtle new forms and addresses the public figures who make these beliefs appear credible. He also reveals a disturbing parallel trend: the decline of global Jewish solidarity, which he argues is critical for dealing with current threats.
Abraham H. Foxman is the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and one of today’s leading voices against hatred, discrimination, and violence across the world. He is also the author of Never Again?: The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism.
“a sober, methodical, and laudably dispassionate indictment of well-known politicians, pundits, and professors who dress up centuries-old canards about Jews in more acceptable twenty-first century garb;”
– Robert Satloff, Executive Director, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy
Since the number of Muslim population in USA is about 7 million, and Jewish Population estimated about 5.5 million, the question is how many “supremacist jihadis who are plotting to create a world Caliphate” have made it to the White House, Congress, Senate, and Pentagon? How many Muhammed and Ali have been appointed as Chief of Staff in the Homeland Security Department?
Let us look at “antisemitism” is in USA for example, which Abe Foxman and many in the Palestine Solidarity Movement are determined to fight and put an end to.
Let us find out how rampant and how disturbing the “discrimination against Jews” is:
BUSH ADMINISTRATION
Michael Mukasey
Appointed as US Attorney General. Mukasey, torture advocate, also was the judge in the litigation between developer Larry Silverstein and several insurance companies arising from the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. a friend of the supremacist racist group Chabd

One of Bush’s foreign policy advisors, he was the chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson’s office in the 1970′s after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from one of the pro-Israel thinktanks, the AEI.
Paul Wolfowitz
Former Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle’s Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz came from the Jewish thinktank, JINSA. Wolfowitz was the number two leader within the administration behind the Iraq war. He later was appointed head of the World Bank but resigned under pressure from World Bank members over a scandal involving his misuse of power.

The majority of their legal work is representing Israeli interests. His firm’s own website stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith “represents Israeli Armaments Manufacturer.” Feith also came from the Jewish thinktank JINSA.
Feith was investigated by the FBI under suspicion of leaking classified information to Israel, being that he was Larry Franklin’s boss when Franklin leaked those documents to Rosen and Weissman of AIPAC.

=======================================
The so called “Jewish-Israeli lobby” is not a mere external force which exerts pressure from the outside through organizations like AIPAC, by the use of funding and finance. NO, it is an INTERNAL force that works from the HEART of the SYSTEM. It is the Policy-makers, the Think Tanks, the Advisors and the Legislation & Decision makers:
Why is it that their number are EXPONENTIALLY OVER REPRESENTED in such HIGH and SENSITIVE positions?
Presidents get elected, they come and go, yet these power structures are almost permanent features. They move from one position to another, swapping places as if playing musical chairs. They participate heavily, robustly, and disproportionally with immense weight and pressure, in making the rules of the game, while simultaneously crying “antisemitism”. It would sound hilarious if the lives of millions are not affected by it, and if didn’t have such serious and catastrophic consequences on World Peace.
Are we supposed to shut our minds, smother our logic and blindly believe that such bizarre phenomenon is a mere series of brilliant coincidences due to good fortune and pure luck? or are we supposed to swallow the lie that it is just a natural organic occurrence, due to the merits of their “multiple talents” and “superior intelligence” which makes them rise to the top spontaneously as “natural high achievers”?
Give me a break, I say, ENOUGH insulting of our intelligence.

حكاية طفلة من فلسطين
طفلةً كانت… صغيرة… وشقية
تتددحرج في اسطوانة علاها الصدا
من أعلى الحاكورة
الى سفح الجبل
وإذا يوماً ما اعتراها التعب
جلست تتأمل …
تناجي حبات الرمان
تداعب اللوزات بالحجر وتمزح مع الليمون
تحكي قصة الأخيار لزهر البرتقال
وتسرد الأخبار للتفاح والخروب والزعرور
طفلةً كانت… صغيرة… وشقية
تقطف الحنّون
ترشف عطر السوسن البري مع ندى الصباح
تلاحق الفراش تسابق الأطيار
تملأ جرار الماء تفرغها في الأزيار
من فتافيت الزجاج ترسم النوافذ
ومن الحصى والطوب تصنع الحيطان
لبيتها الصغير
ومع بنات الحارة تشارك الصبيان
تزغرد وتغني بزفة العرسان
“في لعبة “العروس والعريس
وعندما المساء
يعانق رأسها المجدول بالغيوم
حضن الجدة الحنون
وسادةً… لا أرقَّ ولا أجمل
تداعب شعرها الأجعد
يد دافئة ناعمة حانية … كما الجنة
وصوت عذب مخملي كصوت ملاك
يحكي لها الحكايا لعلها تنام
باسمة القلب والشفتين تغفو … تحلم بالسنونو
بجناحين رقيقين تطير
فوق كروم العنب وحقل التين والزيتون
طفلةً كانت… صغيرة… وشقية
وذات ليلة وردية المشاعر ما بها قمر
تلألأت سماؤها بثوب من الألماس
غفا السكون في أحضانها ملاكاً وادع الأنفاس
تلك البهية ليلتي سأنام في العليّة
سأحصي نجوم الكون
وسأكشف عن أسرارها
لن أغفل عن أيٍّ منها لن أنسى منها شيئا
الليلة دون ريب سأعلم الحقيقة
سأحصي نجوم الكون… نجماً نجما
وأعرف الماهية
ولإن أنا أمعنت في التحديق
لربما رأيت ذاك الذي أبدع الأكوان
وزين السماء بالنجوم
همست بعينيها الضاحكة الشقية
فراشها الحصير
رنت بعينيها بعيــــــــــــداً للسما
سلب الجمال لبها
ذهب بقلبها
طار منها العقل وتبعثر البصر
لكنها ما استسلمت
بدأت تعد نجومها
نجماً نجما…. نجماً نجما
ومنذ ذاك الحين
لليوم ما انتهت

“It is of course “anti-semitic” to investigate the names and background of the authors of this “strategy”
Poking into the wasp’s nest is BAAAD
We must only see them as “Americans”, nothing else!”
“Yes I have looked at but not studied in detail the Yinon plan. it is obviously still influential but, as Israel Shahak remarks, it also has the crazy and delusional characteristic of any ethno-supremacist grouping. ( cf Hitlers plan to take over Russia, Europe and even the US, or the Islamic jihadist plan for a world Caliphate). The notion that a tiny state of 7m people can become a world power is truly delusional, especially when its chief sponsor cannot defeat Afghan tribesman or Vietnamese peasant armies. The US is also economically bankrupt through the dominance of the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex, and the criminal financial machinations of Wall St”
From someone who defines himself as a Jewish, anti-Zionist, he came up with a bizarre, out of place comment. Instead of EXAMINING the EVIDENCE provided, challenging it or proving it wrong, he chose to use a thinly concealed ad hominem attack and subliminal accusations of “antisemitism”:
“Henry Ford had 500,000 copies of the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” printed. Perhaps we should see if there any copies still floating around that we could obtain……“
Why using a trick of an old frayed fig leaf and drag the “protocols” into an intellectual quest for truth?
Is it an attempt to smother the debate about this sensitive topic by intimidating people into silence, or is it to conceal incompetence, dishonesty and intellectual lack of integrity?
.
How about perhaps trying to “see if there any copies still floating around that you could obtain” of the Talmud, Mishneh Torah, Tanya, and Torat HaMelech
At least they are confirmed to be not forgery but rather very authentic !
Just a taster:
- Some quotes from Mishneh Torah, NOT from the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” :
6) The obligation to destroy the seven nations living in the Land of Canaan;
7) The prohibition against allowing any one of them to remain alive;
8 ) The obligation to destroy the descendents of Amalek;
THE LAWS OF KINGS AND THEIR WARS
=========
Israel was commanded to fulfill three mitzvot upon entering the Promised Land:
a) To choose a king, as Deuteronomy 17:15 states: ‘Appoint a king over yourselves;’
b) To wipe out the descendents of Amalek, as Deuteronomy 25:19 states: ‘Erase the memory of Amalek;’
Mishneh Torah, Chapter 1, Halacha 1
=======
“A king should not wage other wars before a milchemet mitzvah. What is considered as milchemet mitzvah? The war against the seven nations who occupied Eretz Yisrael, the war against Amalek, and a war fought to assist Israel from an enemy which attacks them.
Afterwards, he may wage a milchemet hareshut, (war of aggression) i.e. a war fought with other nations in order to expand the borders of Israel or magnify its greatness and reputation.”
=======“War, neither a milchemet hareshut or a milchemet mitzvah, should not be waged against anyone until they are offered the opportunity of peace as Deuteronomy 20:10 states: ‘When you approach a city to wage war against it, you should propose a peaceful settlement.’
If the enemy accepts the offer of peace and commits itself to the fulfillment of the seven mitzvot that were commanded to Noah’s descendents, none of them should be killed. Rather, they should be subjugated as ibid.:11 states: ‘They shall be your subjects and serve you.’
If they agree to tribute, but do not accept subjugation or if they accept subjugation, but do not agree to tribute, their offer should not be heeded. They must accept both.
The subjugation they must accept consists of being on a lower level, scorned and humble. They must never raise their heads against Israel, but must remain subjugated under their rule. They may never be appointed over a Jew in any matter whatsoever.“
Mishneh Torah, Chapter 6, Halacha 1
=======“A gentile who gave a Jew a blow is liable to die for causing even the most minimal damage.”
Mishneh Torah, Chapter 10, Halacha 5
========
“A gentile who studies the Torah is obligated to die. They should only be involved in the study of their seven mitzvot.
Similarly, a gentile who rests, even on a weekday, observing that day as a Sabbath, is obligated to die. Needless to say, he is obligated for that punishment if he creates a festival for himself.”
Mishneh Torah, Chapter 10, Halacha 9
=======
- quotes from Tanya, NOT from the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”
“For in the [case of the] Jew, this soul of kelipah is derived from the kelipah called “nogah”, which also contains good; and the good within this nefesh gives rise to these positive natural traits.
והיא מסוד עץ הדעת טוב ורע
[This kelipah] is from the esoteric “Tree of Knowledge” [which is comprised] of good and evil.30
מה שאין כן נפשות אומות העולם הן משאר קליפות טמאות שאין בהן טוב כלל
The souls of the nations of the world, however, emanate from the other, unclean kelipot which contain no good whatever,
כמו שכתוב בעץ חיים שער מ״ט פרק ג׳: וכל טיבו דעבדין האומות לגרמייהו עבדין
as is written in Etz Chayim, Portal 49, ch. 3, that all the good that the nations do, is done out of selfish motives.
Since their nefesh emanates from kelipot which contain no good, it follows that any good done by them is for selfish motives.”
“The kindness of the nations is sin” — that all the charity and kindness done by the nations of the world is only for their self-glorification…”
“When a Jew acts in a benevolent manner he is motivated mainly out of concern for the welfare of his fellow. The proof of this is that were his fellow not to need his help, this would give him greater pleasure than the gratification derived from his act of kindness.
Concerning the nations of the world, however, this is not so. Their motivation is not the welfare of their fellow; rather, it stems from a self-serving motive — the desire for self-glorification, a feeling of gratification, and the like.”
- A quote from Torat HaMelech, NOT from the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”
“The Rambam wrote in chapter 1, law 1 of the Laws of Murder
Anyone who kills a Jew transgresses a negative commandment, as it says, “Do not murder”. And, if he did it with malice in front of witnesses he is killed with the sword.
The commentary here suggests that the prohibition of “Do Not Murder” related only between Jews, and not for a Jew who kills a non-Jew even if the non-Jew is from one of the righteous nations of the world. Also, in the book Fearers of God it’s written that killing a non-Jew is not considered a transgression of the commandment “Do Not Murder” at all. And so, the Minchat Chinuch wrote:
One should not kill a single person, as it says, “Do not murder”-…but the killing of a non-Jew and even a righteous inhabitant of the Land of Israel that has accepted upon himself the Seven Commandments of Noah’s Offspring are not included in this prohibition
From what we currently have in our hands and understand about the verse “Do Not Murder” it’s impossible to learn the prohibition of killing a non-Jew.”
- Quotes from Talmud, NOT from the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”
1. Yebamoth 57b: A girl who is three years of age and one day may be betrothed by cohabitation; if a levir cohabited with her, he has thereby acquired her[9][9]She is deemed to be his legal wife.
2. Yebamoth 60a: There was a certain town in the Land of Israel the legitimacy of whose inhabitants was disputed, and Rabbi sent R. Romanos who conducted an enquiry and found in it the daughter of a proselyte who was under the age of three years and one day, and Rabbi declared her eligible to live with a priest.
3. Yebamoth 60b: R. Simeon b. Yohai stated: A proselyte who is under the age of three years and one day is permitted to marry a priest,13 for it is said, But all the women children that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves, and Phinehas surely was with them. And the Rabbis?
4. Yebamoth 60b: Consequently21 it must be said that Scripture speaks of one who is fit[22 ]
[22]I.e., one who had attained the age of three years and one day.
5. Sanhedrin 55b: A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his.
6.
Kethuboth 11b: When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this,6 it is as if one puts the finger into the eye.7. Sanhedrin 54b footnote 26: Lev. XVIII, 22. Thus the point of comparison is the sexual matureness of woman, which is reached at the age of three.
8.
Sanhedrin 69a: A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabited with her, she becomes his.9.
Yebamoth 12b: From the age of eleven years and one day until the age of twelve years and one day. One who is under,16 or over this age17 must carry on her marital intercourse in the usual manner.
.
Look how tiny minority the Talmudists are
Very tiny lunatic fringe indeed
It is even more delusional and DECEPTIVE to dismiss or belittle the “israeli” military capability
Apart from Zionist-controlled media sources, can you please show us the hard evidence for the existence of “the jihadist plans for a world caliphate“?

- In which media outlets is the mention of “jihadists” and their “plans” a forbidden taboo, yet the “antisemitic” rhetoric flourishes unchallenged?From Main Stream Media to alternative news, from the far Right to the far Left, from Hollywood fiction to intellectual academia, in which of these platforms, the mention of “jihadists” and their “plans” is a forbidden taboo and a red line which would cost people their livelihoods and even lives if they dared to cross?
- Bearing in mind that Muslims today make more than one fifth of world population, i.e at least ONE out of FIVE people in the world is a Muslim, how big was the “jihadists” success in influencing and shaping the Congress legislation?
FINALLY:
This kind of MSM hate-mongering, fear-mongering mantra, resonating as if a headline out of a cheap tabloid newspaper, echoing in a vacuum, being presented as a “reason” to dismiss real strategic information sources, to dismiss the strong links between them, and to dismiss hard solid facts is really alarming… Where is the intellectual integrity? one is compelled to ask
Now what is the truth about “Caliphate”?
- What does the word “Caliphate” actually means?
- Does it exist in the Qur’an? and if it does, in what context?
Like many Arabic words; Jihad, Fatwa, Dhimmi, Shari’a etc, which were snatched out of the Arabic language, made it into the front pages of MSM, eviscerated and ripped off of their true meanings, distorted, twisted and bended beyond recognition to be used by ZIONISTS and their alibis to foment hatred against Islam, to serve their hate-fear-mongering programme, and justify THEIR wars of aggression planned and executed against many countries in the Muslim world, to suite the Zionist agenda, so is the word Khalifah.
Even the online “free dictionary” follows the same distortion without providing any evidence whatsoever:
khalifah – the civil and religious leader of a Muslim state considered to be a representative of Allah on earth; “many radical Muslims believe a Khalifah will unite all Islamic lands and people and subjugate the rest of the world”
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Khalifa
Such twisting and misrepresentation in the realm of “war of ideas” presented as “information” couldn’t be further from truth, as every person with slightest exposure to, or knowledge of Islam would be able to verify.
Coming back to the word Caliph, it is a translation from the Arabic word khalifa (خليفة, khalīfah) meaning successor, representative, vicegerent, care-taker, substitute, which is used in the Qur’an to establish mankind’s role as representatives of God on earth in the sense of living by God’s names, attributes and principles of JUSTICE and COMPASSION, to take care of, protect and establish JUST and COMPASSIONATE societies.
The true meaning is that EVERY HUMAN BEING is given the responsibility of a care-taker of earth and life on it , NOT a “the civil and religious leader of a Muslim state considered to be a representative of Allah”
Kalifah describes the real nature of man’s (as in all mankind) role on earth; a care-taker.
The term Caliph (خليفة khalīfah) is also used as a title for the ruler, a head of state of Islamic Ummah indicating his responsibilities and duties.
(Ummah: a community which accepts Islam out of their own freewill and accepted to live by general set of moral principles as presented in the Qur’an).
leaders of the Muslim nation were called Khalifat Rasul Allah, the political successors to the messenger of God (referring to Muhammad). Khalīfah can be a female also, as Sitt Al-Mulk of Egypt circa 11th century. Some wives of Khalifas, such as Zaynab an-Nafzawiyyah and Al-Khazuran bin Atta, wielded great influence during the era of their husbands rule.
Sharia’a is the Arabic word for “the road to the watering place” In a religious context, it means “the righteous path“.
Shari’a is not a rigid set of Laws, but rather a Set of Principles through which one is expected to align him/herself with and strive to achieve JUSTICE which lies at the heart of Shari’a and considered its foremost aim, using whatever means of human wisdom, knowledge, comprehension, effort and capacity to establish and nourish.
These are, the six principles of shariah which is concluded from the Qur’an by Muslim scholars:
1. The right to the protection of life.
2. The right to the protection of family.
3. The right to the protection of education.
4. The right to the protection of religion.
5. The right to the protection of property (access to resources).
6. The right to the protection of human dignity.
It must be mentioned also that Shari’a does NOT by any means apply to Non-Muslim, it can ONLY be applied for those who out of their own freewill chose to live by Islam as a philosophy of life, faith and set of principles, otherwise it will contradict the major Qur’anic principle “No compulsion in religion”.
Despite all the incessant fear-mongering against the word Sharia,witch has infected almost every corner in the Western mind and sphere of thinking, yet the word Noahide Laws -which has already been adopted by many countries in the world, did not even surface, it is a taboo which no one talks about and is never discussed in the Islam-crazed Media, very few have even heard of.
If you don’t know yet what Noahide Laws are, you can begin your research with Jewish Halachiac Laws for GENTILES
Th word Khalifah in the Qur’an:
“Behold thy Lord said to the angels: “I will create a vicegerent on earth.” They said “Wilt thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?” He said: “I know what ye know not.” “(2:30)
وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةِ إِنِّى جَاعِلٌ۬ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ خَلِيفَةً۬ۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَتَجۡعَلُ فِيہَا مَن يُفۡسِدُ فِيہَا وَيَسۡفِكُ ٱلدِّمَآءَ وَنَحۡنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَۖ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَعۡلَمُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَMajor Qur’anic Principles:
(If not applied or manifested, if disrespected or abused, the blame is on the followers of Islam, not the documented principles)
Justice is the core of Islam
“O ye who believe! be steadfast firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, Let NOT a group’s hostility to you cause you to deviate from JUSTICE. Be JUST, for it is closer to piety. Be God conscious; for God is Well Aware of what you do.” (Qur’an; 5-8 )
“We thus made you an impartial community, that you may serve as witnesses among the people, and the messenger serves as a witness among you” (2:143)
“No soul shall be made to bear the liability of another.” (35:18 )
“God commands justice, the doing of good, and kindness to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and antagonism: He advices you, that ye may be reminded.” (16-90)
“God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due; and when ye judge between people that ye judge with justice: verily how excellent is the teaching which He giveth you! for God is He who heareth and seeth all things” (4:58)
“The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from God; for (God) loveth not those who are wrong-doers”. (42:40)
“O you who believe, equivalence is the law decreed for you when dealing with murder … If one is pardoned by the victim’s kin, an appreciative response is in order, and an equitable compensation shall be paid. This is alleviation from your Lord and mercy. Anyone who transgresses beyond this incurs a painful retribution.” (2:178)
“And if you punish, you shall inflict an equivalent punishment. But if you resort to patience (instead of retribution), it would be better for the patient ones”. (16:126)
“You shall hand over to the orphans their rightful properties. Do not substitute the bad for the good, and do not consume their properties by combining them with yours. This would be a gross injustice.” (4:2)
“You shall test the orphans when they reach puberty. As soon as you find them mature enough, give them their property. Do not consume it extravagantly in a hurry, before they grow up” (4:6)
“O you who believe, do not consume each others’ properties illicitly. Only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.” (4:29)
Equality and brotherhood of mankind: No racism… No superiority… No tribalism but kindness and respect to the other;
“Ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the desires (of your hearts) (4:135)
“O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to recognize one another. Truly, the most honoured of you in God’s sight is the greatest of you in righteousness. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware”. (49.13)
“And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know”.(30-22)
“Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny – all of you – then He will inform you of everything you had disputed” (5:48)
“An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white” saying of Muhammed
Islam forbids aggression:
Muslims do NOT believe in wars of aggression, and NO war is “holy” according to Islamic tradition, but the Qur’an permits self defence, when you are occupied, attacked, oppressed, unable to negotiate constructively and effectively, when your rights are violated and when you are prevented from living your life in a dignified and free manner, then and ONLY then you have the PERMISSION to fight back
‘You may fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but DO NOT INITIATE AGGRESSION. God does not love transgressors.’ (Quran; 2.190)
“ There is the type of man whose speech about this world’s life may dazzle thee and he calls God to witness about what is in his heart; yet is he the most contentious of foes. And when he turns away, he roams the earth corruptingly, destroying properties and lives. God does not love corruption” (2:204-205)
Islam gives the permission to fighting BACK and resisting oppressive and tyrannical regimes in defence of the oppressed
“And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of God, and on behalf of those who are weak, ill treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town (to freedom) whose people are oppressors; and raise for us, out of Thy Grace, a protector, and raise for us, out of Thy Grace, one who will bring us victory.” (4:75)
“To those against whom war is made, PERMISSION is given (to fight back), because they are wronged; and verily, God is most powerful for their aid; (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right,-(for no cause) except that they say, our Lord is God”. (22:39-40)
“ You shall not kill any person – for God has made life sacred – except in the course of justice. If one is killed unjustly, then we give his heir authority to enforce justice. Thus, he shall not exceed the limits in avenging the murder, he will be helped.” (17:33)
“ You may fight those who wage war against you, and you may evict them whence they evicted you. Oppression is worse than murder” (2:191)
“Show forgiveness, speak for justice and avoid the ignorant.” (7:199)
“But show them forgiveness, and say “Peace!” and soon shall they know!” (43; 89)
‘If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things.’ (8.61)
“But God does call to the Home of Peace” (10-25)
Islam calls for democracy, religious tolerance, calls for freedom of thought and protection of the individual’s right to choose his/her ideology
“No compulsion in religion or ideology” (2:256)“Say: O you that reject Faith! I worship not that which you worship, and you do not worship that which I worship… To you be your Way, and to me mine”. (109:1-6)
The verse “no compulsion in religion” (2:256) and the verse “To you your religion, to me my religion” (109:6) have been interpreted in the Islamic legal and theological traditions to mean that the followers of other religions should not be forced to adopt Islam. Also they have been used as a “proof-text for pluralism and coexistence” and they served to implement tolerance of other religions under Muslim rule.
لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَىِّۚ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ (٢٥٦)
“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things” (2.256)
“Proclaim: “This is the truth from your Lord,” then whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve” (18:29)
قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرُونَ (١) لَآ أَعۡبُدُ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ (٢) وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ (٣) وَلَآ أَنَا۟ عَابِدٌ۬ مَّا عَبَدتُّمۡ (٤) وَلَآ أَنتُمۡ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعۡبُدُ (٥) لَكُمۡ دِينُكُمۡ وَلِىَ دِينِ (٦)
“Say : O ye that reject Faith!
I worship not that which ye worship,
Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
Nor will ye worship that which I worship
To you be your religion and to me mine.”
(109:1-6)“Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny – all of you – then He will inform you of everything you had disputed” (5:48)
“We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)”. (76:3)
“Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity”. (3:104)
“And their affairs are (conducted) through consultation among themselves.” (42:38 )
“If any one does a righteous deed, it ensures to the benefit of his own soul; if he does evil, it works against (his own soul). In the end will you (all) be brought back to your Lord”. (45; 15)
“Each of you chooses the direction to follow; you shall race towards righteousness. Wherever you may be, God will summon you all. God is Omnipotent.” (2:148)
“They respond to their Lord by observing the Contact Prayers. Their affairs are decided after due consultation among themselves, and from our provisions to them they give (to charity)” (42:38)
“They are the ones who examine all words, then follow the best. These are the ones whom God has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence.” (39:18)
Islam calls for respect of people of other ideologies and religions: Every one will be judged fairly, salvation is for all good-doers, not just Muslims:
” Anyone who does an atom weight of good shall see it, and and anyone who does an atom weight of evil shall see it” (99:7-8)
“Those who believe, and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” (2.062)
“Anyone seeking dignity should know that to God belongs all dignity. To Him ascends the good words, and He exalts the righteous works. As for those who scheme evil works, they incur severe retribution; the scheming of such people is destined to fail” (35:10)
“Say: “O people of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not from among ourselves Lords and patrons other than God .” If then they turn back, say: ye! “Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to God’s will).” (3:64)
“Whoever wrongs one with whom a treaty has been made ( dhimmi) and lays on him a burden beyond his strength, I will be his accuser” Hadith (saying of Muhammed)
“One who kills a man under covenant (peace treaty) will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise” Hadith (saying of Muhammed)
Islam FORBIDS USURY and rejects financial systems which are built upon interest, debt and the exploitation of the poor, and promotes kindness and charity as the foundation of caring society:
“O ye who believe! Devour not usury, doubled and multiplied; but be God-conscious. That ye may (really) prosper” (3:130)
“Woe to those that deal in fraud, Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. Do they not think that they will be called to account?”(83:1-4)
“If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew”. (2:280)
“God will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked. Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. O ye who believe! Be God-conscious, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers.”(2: 276-278 )
”Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness. That is because they say: “Trade is like usury, but God hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for God (to judge); but those who repeat (the offence) are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein (for ever)” (2:275)“God will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: for He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked” (2:276)
“Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve” (2:277)
“O ye who believe! fear God and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers” (2:278)
“If ye do it not, take notice of war from God and His Messenger: but if ye repent ye shall have your capital sums; deal not unjustly and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly” (2:279)
Islam goes beyond social justice to compassion and generosity:
So he who gives (in charity) and is God-conscious, and (in all sincerity) confirms the good, We will pave his way to bliss. But he who is a greedy, stingy and thinks himself self-sufficient, and denies the good, We will indeed pave his way to Misery. His wealth will not be of any help to him when he falls headlong (into the Pit)” (92:1-11)
“Do you know who really rejects the faith? That is the one who mistreats the orphans. And does not advocate the feeding of the poor. And woe to those who observe the contact prayers – who are totally heedless of their prayers. They only show off. And they forbid charity.” (107:1-7)
“They ask you about giving: say, “The charity you give shall go to the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the travelling foreigner.” Any good you do, God is fully aware thereof.” (2:215)
“Part of their money is set aside. For the poor and the needy.” (70:24-25)
“By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, God knoweth it well” (3:92)
“So he who gives (in charity) and is God-conscious, and (in all sincerity) confirms the good, We will pave his way to bliss. But he who is a greedy, stingy and thinks himself self-sufficient, and denies the good, We will indeed pave his way to Misery. His wealth will not be of any help to him when he falls headlong (into the Pit)” (92:1-11)
“ (You shall give) to the needy who immigrated. They were evicted from their homes and deprived of their properties, because they sought God’s grace and pleasure” (59:8)
Islam liberates, dignifies and restores the rights of women:
“The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey God and His Messenger. On them will God pour His mercy: for God is Exalted in power, Wise”. (9:71)
“If any do deeds of righteousness, be they male or female – and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them”. (3-124)
“Then shall anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall see it”. (99:7-8 )
“It is He who created you from a single soul, and made its mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love)”. (7:189)
“And among His Signs is this: He created for you mates from among yourselves that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He plants love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. (30-21)
“For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for truthful men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God’s praise; for them has God prepared forgiveness and great reward”. (33:35)
“The divorcees also shall be provided for, equitably. This is a duty upon the righteous.” (2:241)
“If a couple fears separation, you shall appoint an mediator from his family and an mediator from her family; if they decide to reconcile, God will help them get together” (4:35)
Islam calls for equality of mankind; no man is a slave for another:
“Did we not show him the two paths? He should choose the difficult path. Which one is the difficult path? The freeing of slaves, and feeding, during the time of hardship. (90:10-14)
“Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in God, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the travelling foreigners, the beggars, and to free the slaves” (2:177)
”Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret, and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve” (2:274)
“Charities shall go to the poor, the needy, the workers who collect them, the new converts, to free the slaves, to those burdened by sudden expenses, in the cause of God, and to the travelling foreigners. Such is God’s commandment. God is Omniscient, Most Wise” (9:60)
Islam calls for equality before the law, no man is infallible:
“GOD knows best about your belief, and you are equal to one another, as far as belief is concerned” (4:25)
“He (Muhammad) frowned and turned away. When the blind man came to him. How do you know? He may purify himself. Or he may take heed, and benefit from the message. As for the rich man. You gave him your attention. Even though you could not guarantee his salvation. The one who came to you eagerly. And is really reverent. You ignored him. Indeed, this is a reminder.” (80:1-11)
Islam calls for open-mindedness and using one’s intellect:
“Let the human reflect on his creation.” (86:5)
“We made the Qur’an easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?” (54:17)
“You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them.” (17:36)
“Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of Night and Day,― there are indeed Signs for men of understanding. Men who celebrate the praises of God standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (with the thought): “Our Lord! not for naught hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us salvation from the penalty of the Fire” (3: 190-191)
“They are the ones who examine all words, then follow the best. These are the ones whom God has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence.” (39:18)
Islam calls for honest dealing, protection of human dignity and the right to privacy:
“Woe to every backbiter, slanderer.” (104:1)
“O you who believe, you shall avoid any suspicion, for even a little bit of suspicion is sinful. You shall not spy on one another, nor shall you backbite one another; this is as abominable as eating the flesh of your dead brother. You certainly abhor this. You shall observe God. God is Redeemer, Most Merciful.” (49:12)
“It was mercy from God that you became compassionate towards them. Had you been harsh and mean-hearted, they would have abandoned you. Therefore, you shall pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them” (3:159)
“And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people’s property” (2:188)
“Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. God is free of all wants, and He is Most Forbearing” (2:263)
“O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury― like those who spend their substance to be seen of men” (2:264)
“O ye who believe! Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you, and do not even aim at getting anything which is bad in order, that out of it ye may give away something, when ye yourselves would not receive it except with closed eyes. And know that God is Free of all wants and Worthy of all praise” (2:267)
“You shall give full weight and full measure when you trade, equitably” (6:152)
“O my people, you shall give full measure and full weight, equitably. Do not cheat the people out of their rights, and do not roam the earth corruptingly” (11:85)
Islam hold parents in the highest esteem:
“And We have enjoined on the human being in (regard to) his two parents – his mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning was two years – Give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the goal. But if they strive with you to associate with Me (gods) you do not know about, then do not obey them. But keep company with them both in the world in an honourable manner, and follow the path of who repents to Me. Then I will tell you what you have worked.” (31:14-15)
”And We have enjoined on the human being in (regard to) his two parents the most beautiful conduct. But if they strive with you to associate with Me (gods) you do not know about, then do not obey them. You all will return to Me and I will tell you what you have worked” (29: 8)”And We have enjoined on the human being in (regard to) his two parents the most beautiful conduct. His mother bore him under duress and brought him forth under duress. And his bearing and his weaning was thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of forty, he says, “My Lord and Sustainer, grant to me that I am thankful for the graciousness that You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may work righteousness pleasing to You, and make my offspring righteous. Surely I turn to You and surely I am of those who submit (to You).” (46:15)
”Your Lord has commanded that you shall not worship (anyone) but Him and to be good to the parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) ‘Ugh’ nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word. And lower for them ‘the wings of humility’ out of mercy; and pray; ‘O my Lord! Have mercy on them as they brought me up (when I was) little.’” (17:23-24)
”O Prophet) say, “Come, I will read out to you the sacred rules your Lord and Sustainer has given you: That you do not associate anything as a partner with Him. That you give beautiful conduct to the two parents. That you do not kill your children fearing flat poverty – We will provide for you and for them. That you do not even go near lewdness, neither the obvious nor the hidden. That you do not kill the life that God has made sacred, except in the truth (of what has been commanded). That is what He has enjoined upon you in order that you become intelligent.” (6:151)“O humankind! Be in awe of your Lord and Sustainer, He who created you all from a single soul, and created from it her mate, and from the two of them brought forth many men and women. Be in awe of God and of the wombs (that bore you). Surely God is watching over you.”(4: 1)
Islam calls for striving for perfecting of human values and elevating the standard of morality:
Prophet Muhammad, Peace be upon him, declared “Verily I was sent to this World to define (and live by) the Generous Temperament.”
According to him, the codes of Generous Temperament (makarem elakhlaq) are seven:
“Pardoning those who have oppressed you
Giving to those who have deprived you
Connecting with those who have shunned you
Benefiting those who have abused you
Counselling those who have deceived you
Forgiving those who have maligned you
Forbearing with those who have angered you.”
Prophet Muhammad also said:
“God, said: O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.”
“You will never enter Paradise until you become believers, and you will not become believers until you love each other.”
“None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself”
“God has no mercy on one who has no mercy for others.”
“The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self”
“Do not belittle any act of kindness, even that of greeting your brother with a cheerful countenance.”
“God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds”
” Who is the most favoured of God? He, from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures”
“The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self”
“It is difficult for a man laden with riches to climb the steep path, that leads to bliss”
“Who are the learned? Those who practice what they know.”
“Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.”
“Whoever is kind, God will be kind to him; therefore be kind to man on the earth. He Who is in heaven will show mercy on you”
” God has revealed to me, that you must be humble. No one should boast over one another, and no one should oppress another”
“Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people”
“The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife.”
“Practice humility until no one oppresses or belittles another”
“A believer is not one who eats his fill while his next door neighbour goes hungry.”
“A good word is charity”
Followed by this email:
If they don’t want to stand being accused of smothering debate and concealment of truths, i.e intellectual dishonesty, then they must STOP using such methods, accusing others of antisemitism when they fail to refute the evidence or provide counter evidence.
These are pathetic, useless and cowardly methods; ad hominem attacks, rather than challenging facts, shooting the messenger rather than rebutting the argument, excommunication rather than having spine and defending their case .
If their aim is to “prevent antisemitism” and to stop “hatred against Jews”, my aim is to prevent supremacy and anti-humanism and to stop powerful Jewish-Zionist networks from HURTING and HARMING to DEATH Palestinians and many more in other parts of the world
Let it also be known, that the world is changing, people began to see that which was hidden, and many are no longer willing to be subjugated to such reprehensible treatment.

Hey grownups
I don’t want your world
I don’t want your crazy wars
I don’t want your gold and silver
I don’t want your shiny coins
I can’t stand your golden calf
I don’t like your silly games
I don’t want to play
no more
I am off, I don’t want to stay
Paint it all anew
With a brush and splash of tears
Fill its oceans, wash the sky
Colour a rainbow all in between
.
.
With my doll holding onto me
Run towards the edge of the universe
Where heaven jumps down to kiss the earth
Near the bush where sparrows pray
There I’d sit calmly and wait
Until its all over
and grownups are no more.
Come little children with Jasmine headbands

The pursuit of truths cannot begin with lies,
Like the pursuit of peace cannot begin with wars
Give me honesty, earn my respect
Give me lies, nothing but contempt
A great person is one
Whose constant aim
Is searching for truth
For only in finding truth
Justice can be done
A great person
Becomes greater
If when getting it wrong
Finds no shame
In retreating
Admitting his error
Moving on
However
The Ultimate Truth
Is the lost property
Of the wise
Lies
like to be groomed
To
be prepared in advance
Artificially
manufactured
Laughable,
not in a funny way
No amount of make-up can hide its ugly face
No trimming or adding can make it flow in lucidity
Still-born,
incoherent, pitiable and frail
Unpleasant
to the ear as much to the heart
…
TRUTH
however, is spontaneous
Honest, eloquent and natural
It has a power of its own
The glory of truth has the qualities of light
No amount of darkness could kill or obscure
Delicate, sublime, inspiring and pure
Breathtaking
with its splendour
Like
a waterfall;
It
flows gracefully from the heart
Needs
no training for her to shine
Powerful,
relentless, elegant and beautiful
Alhamdulillah

We all have witnessed the horrifying images emerging from Syria, little bodies of babies, silenced forever. The trauma, the pain, the frustration and the outrage gripped us by the the throat.
What was even more infuriating is that the attack coincided with the date of burning Al-Aqsa Mosque in 1969
Many, in fury, started pointing fingers without any verification.
In my archive I found this image of a leaked email which I have saved early January 2013:
The plan to attack civilians with Chemicals and blame it on Syria was leaked before which was published in this article:
U.S. ‘backed plan to launch chemical weapon attack on Syria and blame it on Assad’s regime’
I also remembered this staggering confession by a Jewish-Zionist lobbyist Israel Lobbyist Patrick Clawson of the influential neo-con Washington Institute for Near East Studies OPENLY suggests that the US should provoke Iran by a “False Flag”:

Verifying TRUTH is what helps people understand and NOT fall prey to propaganda which aims to mislead and divide them. How can people even begin to think about “changing themselves” when they believe every LIE there is?
We need to understand what is going on around us, so we can at least get a grip on reality, then plan how to deal with it
وإن جاءكم فاسق بنبأ فتبينوا
We are dealing with EXTREMELY EVIL and DANGEROUS people… Talmudists who believe in the extermination of Amalek and the Seven nations
They will stop at nothing to achieve their evil goals. They have mastered the acts of deception and false flag which enables them to CONTROL with ease those who are much more numerous than they are, by DIVIDE and CONQUER. They don’t even bother to change their perpetual uncreative methods, so confident they are!

Words are seeds, you know
.
You plant a good word
It will grow, a beautiful tree
.
.
You plant a bad word
Don’t expect but thorns and weed
.
.
Out of your mouth
They can’t be retrieved
.
.
When out and gone
You’ve stamped your deed
.
.
Words are seeds
Poisonous they kill
Kind, souls they may feed
.

The saddest most joyous part is
Whatever you’ve planted
You shall eat

When life rages around you
When you smell death in every corner
When the good and the noble get slaughtered before your very eyes
Don’t ever lose hope
Remember
Goodness is organic
Just like life
It never fades away
It never ever dies

Constantly I wonder
How can any mortal
With only human capacity
Live… and die
Without leaving any one
Feeling anything
Towards him
But genuine love
And immense admiration
Is that at all possible?
Can that human be real?
How can someone
Be adored so much,
By so many,
For such a length of time?
Your selfless soul
Lived only to serve others
Your great big heart
Always made room for all
Your brilliant mind
An inspiration to many
Your time was never yours alone
If I didn’t know you
If I didn’t live with you
I would’ve found this notion
Difficult to believe
But Habibi… you are real
You lived an exemplary life
That’s difficult to imitate
Hard to live up to
So is it any wonder
That I always wonder

When life becomes burdened with wickedness and cruelty,
when loss and confusion is written on every human face,
when people weep in misery and despair,
Climb up a hill or a mountain
eyes full of compassion
heart full of mercy
open your soul,
raise your hands up,
in wondrous agape
wholeheartedly
tightly
embrace
Flower… flower in my heart
Fill with joy every corner of my soul

Did you ever wonder
What is it that shakes your being
And makes your soul tremble
As you stand before New Life
In awe and awesome wonder
.
Did you ever wonder
What is it in watching New Life, that melts your heart,
Tickled with love, swathed in splendour
.
Gobsmacked in silent thunder
A baby kitten purring
A new leaf budding
A tiny deer climbing
A scented rose blooming
.
.
Can you smell the freshness of your soul
As you look into a babe’s eyes, with eyes open wide
Can you see yourself smiling
As you hear him giggling loud
.
Coated with sweetness
Imbued in beauty
Wrapped in mystery
Radiating tenderness

Life was raging all around me
All was surreal
.
.
I was looking at me
Madly searching for you
I knew what had happened
I felt sorry for me, I embraced
.
.
I was watching me
Sobbing… trembling
With my sore heart throbbing
I put my arms round me, and comforted
.
.
I was hearing me pleading
Begging for help
“Do not be afraid”
I whispered in my ear, and reassured
.
.
I was observing me
Staring at the oblivion
Lost… lonely… petrified
I held my hand
And took me home
.

When I was a little girl
My home was a tree-trunk
On a white cloud
Up…up… in the sky
In this world of mine
The sun shone forever
All seasons were spring
And love grew everywhere

In gardens… on trees
In the streets
On roof tops
In the rivers
In people’s hearts
And on their tongues
Visitors to my world
Wondered how
And why
Hate didn’t grow
Hate couldn’t grow
The secret was
In this world of mine
People could read
Each other’s minds
So, they came to understand
How others feel
What others mean
Why others do
And where others stand
That’s why
In this beautiful world of mine
Only love grew

Would an electron stop spinning?
Would a photon cease vibrating?
Would earth lie down to sleep?
Thus, the poetry of my soul
Gushing out regardless
Throbbing in deafening silence
Wether anyone is listening
or I sing alone

Hesitant
Zooming in
Getting closer
Expecting a tedious bore
To my surprise
I found a pearl
Hidden in the deep
Concealed
By layers of my ignorance
Thrill is never over
Every layer I peel
Reveals still
Beauty beyond imagination
I wonder
What will I find
If I ever get to the core

I want to take you out
I want to hold your heart
In my little palm
.
Take you out, just for a day
Show you the world
.
Drifting with the breeze
Sitting on an autumn leaf
.
Flying with humming birds
Bouncing on clouds
.
Riding backs of dolphins
Diving with blue whales
.
Sliding on a rainbow
Painting ruby skies
.
I want to take you out
Show you the world
.
Gliding between mountains
With colourful butterflies
.
Surfing seas and oceans
Swimming in the Nile
.
Floating between galaxies
Counting night stars
.
Racing with twilight
Travelling throughout time
.
I want to take out
Show you the world
.
Holding on your hand
Clinging to your heart
Just come with me

Those who robbed Palestine have NO moral or ethical argument whatsoever, so they got into the habit of using two fig leaves to cover their nude morality: Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial.
Accusing Palestinians or human right activists of being hateful, racist and antisemites because they EXPOSE and DETEST the ideology of SUPREMACY rampant amongst the occupiers of Palestine, yet simultaneously keeping MUTE about such supremacy within, is hypocrisy at best, and active deception at worst.
What a bizarre configuration imposed upon Palestinians; they are called racist for fighting racism, they are called antisemites while being Semitic to the core, they are obliged to defend the rights of their persecutors before their own, they are expected to study and sympathise with the history of their occupiers before their own current ongoing ethnic cleansing and slow genocide, they are supposed to care more for the feelings of those who genocided them for over six decades before they care about their liberation, and they are demanded to fall in love with the “humanity” of their occupiers and express that love in no uncertain terms otherwise their own humanity is in doubt and would be put on trial.
It defies belief to watch such scenario written, directed and acted by some alleged “supporters” of Palestine; they call activists racists for being ferociously against all forms of racism, while they consolidate the racism of their own by propagating such accusations as a smoke screen to silence truths and conceal ugliness in one shot.
Palestinians and their genuine supporters must walk away from the distraction of those who insist on injecting our struggle with banners of “fighting antisemitism”, or “fighting holocaust denial”, these are NOT our battles, these battles belong to ADL and its ilk.

Palestinians and their genuine supporters must come together to dialogue, explore strategies and hopefully work for unified aims with clear vision without having to tiptoe around their thoughts along the path for freedom, and without having to sacrifice their aspiration of liberation on the altar of sensitivities of their persecutors and for the sake of not offending their oppressors.

Dedicated to the young girl I saw studying in the vicinity of Al-Agsa mosque- May, 2013
Timidly I stretch my arms out
I bow my head in humble awe
Kissing those delicate hands
Wiping sorrow off your tender eyes
O… soul of my soul
Delight us with your dreams ignore death around
No to submissiveness no to being idle
Plant seeds of hope inside of us… lilies
Baby smiles
Spectra of love
Longing poetry
Celebrations of glory… huge grins
On the cusp of homeland scatter your winning laughter
Almond Blossom … fragrant roses … heart beats … tears of love … and stars

اقبّل هذي الأيادي الرقيقة
وامسح احزان هاتيك العيون
ايا مهجة الروح
جودي بالمنى رغم المنايا
فلا للخنوع ولا للخمول
ازرعي الأمال فينا زنبقاً
أحلام طفلٍ
أطياف عشق
أنغام شوق
أعراس مجد باسمات
وعلى أعتاب الديار انثري ضحكات فوزك
زهرٍ لوز… عبق ورد… خفق قلب… دمع حبٍّ… ونجوم

By Palestinian poet Tawfeeq Zieyad
Translation by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Twenty impossible we are
In Lod, and Ramleh, Galilee
Here, on top of your chests, anchored like a wall
In your throats we shall stay, a piece of glass, a cactus thorn,
and in your eyes a blazing fire
Here, on top of your chests, anchored like a wall
Hungry .. Bare .. Confronting
Singing poems
Storming angry streets with demonstrations
Filling prisons with Dignity
Making children
Revolutionary
Generation .. after generation
Twenty impossible we are
In Lod, Ramleh, and Galilee
.
Go, drink seawater
While we guard the shadow of figs and olives trees
Cultivate ideas, like yeast in a dough
Cool as ice our nerves
Our hearts a blazing hell
.
If we get thirsty, we squeeze rocks
We eat dirt if hungry, but we do not leave
Our precious blood we do not withhold … do not withhold … do not withhold
Here … Our past … our present … And our future
.
Twenty impossible we are
In Lod, and Ramleh, Galilee
Our living roots entrenched deep
Our ancestors hold on
Better for the oppressor to review his calculations
Before the wheel goes off
For every action has a reaction
Recite: What is written in the book
.
كأننا عشرون مستحيل
في اللد , والرملة , والجليل
هنا .. على صدوركم , باقون كالجدار
وفي حلوقكم
كقطعة الزجاج , كالصبار
وفي عيونكم
زوبعة من نار
هنا .. على صدوركم , باقون كالجدار
نجوع .. نعرى .. نتحدى
ننشد الأشعار
ونملأ الشوارع الغضاب بالمظاهرات
ونملأ السجون كبرياء
ونصنع الأطفال .. جيلا ثائرا .. وراء جيل
كأننا عشرون مستحيل
في اللد , والرملة , والجليل
إنا هنا باقون
فلتشربوا البحرا
نحرس ظل التين والزيتون
ونزرع الأفكار , كالخمير في العجين
برودة الجليد في أعصابنا
وفي قلوبنا جهنم حمرا
إذا عطشنا نعصر الصخرا
ونأكل التراب إن جعنا .. ولا نرحل
وبالدم الزكي لا نبخل .. لا نبخل .. لا نبخل
هنا .. لنا ماض .. وحاضر .. ومستقبل
كأننا عشرون مستحيل
في اللد , والرملة , والجليل
يا جذرنا الحي تشبث
واضربي في القاع يا أصول
أفضل أن يراجع المضطهد الحساب
من قبل أن ينفتل الدولاب
لكل فعل رد فعل:- … إقرأوا
ما جاء في الكتاب

Alice was falling up, then rising down,
With a quantum leap, transcending
Into a parallel universe
Were every thing is upside down,
And nothing is what it seems to be;
In a forgotten land, once called Palestine.
.
In this land of wonders, Alice saw
Murderers get Nobel peace prizes,
Thieves are the guardians
Of peace and security,
War criminals are the law,
.
In this land of faith, Alice saw
Strangers claiming that
God gave them every thing;
For they are the chosen
Above all others,
Despite the fact: most of them
Don’t even believe in God.
.
In this land of pain, Alice saw
Olive trees uprooted for having roots in the past,
Farmers beaten for harvesting their crops,
Men shot for wanting to pray,
Women imprisoned for having a family,
.
.
Children killed for going to school,
Babies gassed for… being.
.
.
In this land of sorrow
Alice saw people in refugee camps;
With large rustic keys around their necks,
Gazing away in despair
At beautiful, invisible homes in the distance,
With no keyholes, no doors, not even walls.
.
In this land of history
Alice saw signs for peace;
That only led to war and terror;
Road maps, but no roads;
Security zones, with no security;
Miles long checkpoints, where nothing is checked.
.
In this land of paradox
Alice saw a queen of hearts
Leading an army with hearts of stone,
Yet Alice picked up stones
With tender hearts,
Stones with tongues
That can dance and even sing.
.
And through the rabbit hole
Alice came out again,
Disorientated and bewildered
Alice was in Holy-land
She went, she saw, she understood.
.

Soaked in humiliation
Standing in the corner
Of the security-check cubical
All alone
No mum to hold my hand
Or calm down my fear
No dad to hide my shame
And wipe my tears away
No shoes, no socks, no clothes
Not even underwear
After being stripped
By her…
.
The stern face
Of this woman soldier
Was looking down at me
In fury and contempt
.
She started her interrogation:
Where are you going to?
Palestine, my little shaky voice replied
Where are you going to? louder and firmer
Palestine, swiftly this time
There is no Palestine, do you understand
No more Palestine
Where are you going? shouting with rage
Palestine, assertively
Determined to deny her the pleasure
Of hearing the word
She wanted to hear
A refugee, visiting my stolen Palestine
For the first time
Since the occupation
A little girl of nine
Defiant, full of dignity, I leave
Holding in my heart
My very own victory
.

Looking around
My eyes delight
Beauty bubbles in every corner

My heart swells with love, uncontainable
Sparkles of tenderness fall down as rain
Overwhelmed with gratefulness
I kneel down and pray
Lifted up
Uplifted
Swept off my feet,
I pop, I jump, I fly
My soul fills with colour
Besotted I swirl
And sing with joy

I am but a speck of dust
Lost in this vast cosmos
Inside my mind
Hides the entire universe
.
At the heart of soul of this speck of dust
Lives the Most magnificent, Most Sublime
The Creator of all
* * *
WOW
I gasp in awesome wonder

“Why don’t you write about the chaos happening now in the Middle East?”
Some may wonder
“Don’t you have anything intelligent to say in such dreadful times?”
They add
“Oh YES I do of course I do, I have much to say”
I reply
When you see a person being beaten up by a mob
Could be slaughtered before your eyes
What would you do first?
Do you stop to help him, save his life?
Or do you point at his dirty clothes,
Ask him to get changed first, as you criticise?
* * *
What I have to say is bitter sweet
Aimed at my Muslim family
From all schools of thought
Injured, humiliated
Fatigued, marginalized
Drained and disunited
Oppressed and dehumanized
Pushed into a trap
“By way of deception, thou shalt make war”
Is it the right time to say what I have to say, then
While babies being slaughtered
And the innocent smothered under?

When the sun shines every morning
It does not think what if someone objects to its heat
It would Just give its best, anyway
When twilight falls in the evening
It does not care who would curse its darkness
It would just embrace all, anyway
When Sky gates flung open to relinquish earth
It does not hesitate in case some passers by would get wet
It would just rain anyway
When you align yourself with the Most Sublime
You would not consider how people see you;
Would they mock you
Would they belittle you
Would they hurt you
Or would they even kill you
You’re constantly content in magnificent harmony
You would just BE, anyway

This poem is dedicated to my friend Genie (Palestine Rose)
When you write raw
You leave your heart exposed
Unmasked
Unprotected
It will carry many cuts and bruises
It might even bleed its life out
Not to appease
Neither to please
And certainly not to hurt or cause harm
Not to praise or to be praised
Not to condemn or put anyone down

But to heal and ease the pain
Of an injured world
With which I fell madly in love
Long before the day I was born
I hear rivers and oceans weeping I go to pieces
I see the tears running down sky’s face,
I melt away, I go insane
I would peel off the kernel of my soul
I would crush my being to nothingness
I would dwindle and wither away
I would set my heart ablaze
To see a child smile
Take my heart
Take my heart
grind it down
Sprinkle the dust over this tormented world
Turn it to compost
Let it feed love-hungry souls

In the palm of my hand I hold my heart, tender and sore
With delight I give it away
Watch the blossoms budding around
As one child smiles again
Wouldn’t you?

Holding on my hand
Strolling away
How could I resist
A tender baby’s hand
Embraced in mine
***
How could I let go
Of baby’s little fingers
Wrapped around mine
How could I hold onto
Fears, worries, illusions
When angels hover, forever, by my side
My heart is giggling
Her hand in mine
My mind is fizzing
Her world is mine
I came from there
Have always been
There I belong
Her world is mine
Where fairies dance
In lavender valleys
Where grass grows wild
.
Where butterflies have names
And grasshoppers play games
Back-floating they dream
.
Where babies dive
Splashing in rivers
Of lilies and jasmine
.
Where angels swim
In milkyways
Leaving trails of stardust behind
I came from there
Have always been
There I belong
Her world is mine
Floating with angels
Smiling at rabbits
Chatting to fairies
My heart is giggling
Her hand in mine
Look look up there
Flapping my wings
Jumping high then falling down
Her hand in mine
Her eyes of stars
Glowing with glee
Such innocent face
Such radiant light
And heavenly grace
O sweet my baby
Tender and pure
O smile my baby
Come heal and cure
Your hand in mine
Your world is mine
I look at her
In awesome wonder
Then sings my soul
Her hand in mine
Tiny and tender
Her hand in mine
I look at her
In awesome wonder
Then sings my soul
Her world is mine
Serene sublime
Her world is mine
Her world is mine

Commendable efforts.
Therefore, I recommend that the Solidarity Movement would join Muslim leaders in attending and promoting courses in “Holocaust Education” to help bring awareness to the public and help Palestinians and their supporters understand and open their hearts to the immense suffering of holocaust survivals and their “decedents Israelis”. Comprehending the awfulness of this chapter in history would make clear to the world the need for a Jewish homeland and the necessity of securing the future of the poor descendents of holocaust survivors in Palestine. Understanding this tragic history with all its horrors (such as their ancestors having been turned into soap, leather-bags and lampshades) would explain the craving for survival of this perpetually persecuted minority. It would raise public consciousness and open their eyes to the importance of the defence and security of Israel. Studying the Holocaust would enable Palestinians to become more humane and thoughtful. They would learn to show a little more compassion, forgiveness, grace and hospitality, thus giving more concessions and land to the poor descendants of holocaust survivors, bringing the Palestinian problem more quickly to an end. “Two people, one land” would sound great: the finalization of the Zionist project, in protecting and securing the future of the poor descendants of holocaust “survivors” in Palestine, would be considered a mitzva. It would also enable Palestinians rise above their perceived suffering, forget about the so called Nakba and understand Israel’s incessant emphasis on issues like peace and non-violence thus it would no doubt accelerate the resuscitation of peace process which Palestinians have been blocking and obstructing for decades.
………………………..
Fighting and winning the battle against antisemitism should be number one priority for Palestinians fighting for their liberation. No other way. After all, antisemitism, is a specific form of racism. The Holocaust a specific form of atrocity: older, uglier, more widespread, more violent and more repulsive than all other forms of racism, being against a specific chosen people. Thus, studying, commemorating, cherishing, revering and mediating upon the evilness of such an event should become mandatory for every human being, making it an article of faith and glorification. Therefore, any questioning, doubt, denial, minimization or trivialization; big or small, in public or in private, in sickness or in health, in poverty or in wealth, in joy or in misery, openly or in secret, in consciousness or in subconsciousness, waking or in dreaming, is a crime which should be mercilessly and severely punished. The world needs “specific and targeted policies to eradicate Holocaust denial and trivialisation“, the world needs global “ Law enforcement Programme LEOP” as “a model initiative consisting of an international cadre of expert police officers training police in several countries”; to ENFORCE the ERADICATION of “illegal anti-Semitic discourse”. . But what exactly constitutes “illegal anti-Semitic discourse”?
For example, when it was revealed that David Cameron had asked the Jewish community to “make a noise over Hizbullah, to help him persuade the EU to ban it as a “terrorist organization”, was asking the question whether David Cameron’s Jewish background relevant in shaping his political views with regards to “Israel”, a blatant case of antisemitism?
Such a question is, of course, “racist” and totally forbidden. Of course, Palestinians should not concern themselves whether the Prime minister of Great Britain, or any other world leader for that matter, is of Jewish background or not: this is an irrelevant matter and has nothing to do with their loyalty or affiliation. Their Jewishness has nothing to do with their views about Palestine and the Jewish state.
Their loyalty should never be questioned: the subject of “conflict of interest” is merely a new form of antisemitism and has nothing to do with whether they would be fanatic supporters and protectors of Israel’s interests or not. Palestinians and their supporters are anti Semitic if they dare to ask such racist questions. It must be understood by every activist that fighting antisemitism is number one priority in the movement, thus attending conferences such as this conference is highly recommended.
By joining the Global forum for combating Antisemitism activists will expand their horizons, enrich their understanding, and fine-tune the real meaning of antisemitism thus enable them to participate in eradicating “antisemitism” once and for all.
Palestinians would really “appreciate” and “thrive” from such cooperative step. At this critical juncture in our human history,
Whereas, we watch the terrifying effect of legalized new global antisemitism; Whereas, we witness the racism, vilification, ostracization, stigmatization, shunning and demonization imposed upon Jewish communities world wide;
Whereas, we observe with horror the number of wars, atrocities, savage attacks and hate-crimes committed against world Jewry simply because they are Jews;
Whereas, we realize the utter impotence, paucity of means and lack of power and to stand up and protect themselves from world savagery;
Whereas, we notice the extreme poverty, hardship and deprivation suffered by most members in those communities;
Palestinians and their supporters must act promptly and immediately to protect and ensure the safety and well being of Jewish communities. They must, as a matter of urgency, consider joining forces with ADL and add their voices to Netanyahu, to prove without a shadow of a doubt their “anti-anti-semitism”, affirm their humanism, anti-racism and anti-apartheidism, thus bringing the liberation of Palestine closer and allowing Palestinians to finally taste freedom, restoration of rights, peace and security.
Considering the struggle of Foxman’s ADL against the New and Improved version of antisemitism, and in appreciation for his relentless efforts to fight and curtail that rampant malevolent disease which -for no particular reason- has been sweeping the globe recently, and due to the financial difficulties currently faced by ADL and its severe lack of funds and resources, the helping hands of Palestine supporters would go a long way in improving the good work of Foxman’s agency, by astutely fighting antisemitism with more vigour and more determination to the point of utter eradication.
Activists must raise their voices and sign the London Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism. They must take immediate action by participating in the Global forum for combating Antisemitism without delay. Remember that Islamized Hollywood, the powerful Moozlem lobby and Arabized Main Stream Media with its relentless antisemitic programs, articles and movies, is promoting Moooozlims and Izlam by inciting hatred against Jews.
This malevolent form of racism is growing completely out of hand: every effort on your part to stop such racism will no doubt accelerate the end of the suffering of Palestinians, bringing them freedom and making their dreams a reality. Sure. .
It is tragic, but one must acknowledge the fact that Moooozlims do control our Education system. They prevent students from learning about the Holocaust and the history of Jewish suffering. They prevent the world from knowing about the endless bombing of innocent Israeli and non-Israeli Jews by millions of rockets, and the astronomic amount of anti-Jewish hate crimes erupting in every little corner of the world. In such difficult times the ADL would sure appreciate your moral support and your cash $$$$$.
An advice to Peace Activists who support Palestine
1) First and foremost, activists must remember to hunt down all the hidden mouth-frothing antisemites, and expel them from the Palestine Solidarity Movement.
2) When activists organize an event, they must explain to people and ensure that they distinguish between Zionism and Judaism:
There is not even one single common letter between the two, look: Zion, Jew. Nothing, strictly, absolutely nothing in common. There is nothing Jewish, absolutely nothing Jewish, about Zionism. Period.
ZIONISM: defined as a racist nationalistic movement which claims to be Jewish-nationalism but in fact has absolutely nothing to do with Jews, Jewish ideology, Jewishness or Judaism.
JUDAISM : defined as a universal anti-tribal religion/ multi-ethnic race/ a mysterious mysticism / a rich-folkloric culture deeply soaked, sorry rooted in chicken-soup/ tragic yet miraculous history and a perpetual and unmatched suffering/ un-exceptionalist/ un-elitist/ un-exclusivist/ un-chosen/ universalistic/ humanistic/ a light unto the nations/ radiant and morally-inspiring moral code, which cannot be scrutinised or criticised under any circumstances.
3) Palestine is not the “Promised Land”, and “Next year in Jerusalem” chanted at Seder, refers only to a Heavenly Jerusalem in Venus or maybe Mars, I forgot.
4) To consolidate the lesson, elected leaders may encourage activists
and lay-persons to invoke the phrase “Zionism is not Jewish” as a daily prayer repeated as many times as possible. They should ensure that people differentiate between the un-racist Israeli society, and its racist government.
5) They should spare no effort in convincing people that by claiming to support Palestine and Palestinians, they mean opposition to Zionism only, not opposition to Zionists or G-d forbid, not opposition to Israelis. No, no, we cannot have that, because our battle will be over as soon as Israel makes the bombastic declaration that it abandons Zionism.
6) The claim that Zionism now is meaningless and irrelevant is itself irrelevant. .
7) Help Palestinians to become realistic and to stop dreaming of Liberation: remove the word from their vocabulary.
8) Explain to Palestinians that their aims are one and the same with the aims of Israelis
9) There is no difference whatsoever between what Israelis have planned for the region and what Palestinians are aspiring for.
10) Help Palestinians to see that their aspiration of Liberation is unrealistic and a cause of grave injustice to Israelis: they will then abandon their own aims and instead support your solutions, your aims and your future vision for the region. Persuade them to fight for Israel’s abandonment of Zionism, nothing more.
11) Help Palestinians to see the human face of the Israelis who ethnically cleanse them. Help them understand that “Israelis” are here to stay, so that they can lump it or leave it. How can Peace be achieved if Palestinians insist on Liberation and keep alienating “Israelis”?
12) Activists: make it clear to Palestinians that you are opposed to the so called “legitimate” armed resistance, and that you only approve of peaceful non-violent action.
13) Explain to Palestinians that the best solution to their problem is to work on softening the hearts of Israelis to give them time to expand their territory and annex the entire land of Historic Palestine, enabling Palestinians to gain Israeli citizenship, which would allow them to fight the apartheid policies more effectively from within as nth-class Israelis. .
14) To humanize and moralize Palestinians and to prevent them from turning into antisemites, and from hating their tormentor, teach them about the 2000 years history of persecution of Jews, the holocaust, the human-skin lampshades, the human-fat soap, the shrunken heads of experimented upon Jews… etc
See, by revering Holocaust and by fighting Antisemitism, making this battle our number one priority, we solved the Israel-Palestine conflict with a strike of a pen, in a blink of an eye!
BINGO

Like a fool
Running up and down the streets of Jerusalem
Looking for me
.
Staring at people’s faces
Searching in their eyes for my features
Did that boy pronounce my name?
Might I find my shadow buried in his heart?
.
Don’t ask me about my age
I stopped counting decades ago
For every second of pain count thirteen years
Forty, for each fallen tear
Seventy, for each smothered breath
Nine centuries for every stolen smile of a child’s face
.
Did you see me? I even dared to whisper
.
Before time was calculated,
Right here, beneath your feet
My heart was sown

In Palestine
Wherever you go, whatever you do
You are always smothered by the ugly face of occupation
Silently
Patiently
Resiliently
Dignifyingly
Systematically
Breathtakingly
Day in and day out
You learn to practice
The art of beautiful resistance
PALESTINE
I LOVE YOU

Does it matter that Michael Chertoff was the head of Department of Homeland Security ?
Does it matter that he was the one in charge of 9/11 investigation?
Does it matter that he introduced and campaigned to have the full body scanner machines in airports?
Does it matter that he has shares in the Chertoff company which manufactures and sells body scanner machines?
Does it matter that this man is a dual citizen?
Does it matter that his father is a Talmudic rabbi?
Does it matter that he has very warm relationship with the supremacist group Chabad Lubavitch?
OH YES
HELL IT DOES

فكما تتشقق الأرض لتنبت زهرة
وكما يتفتت الصخر فتكبر بذرة
كذا العمر يفنى
فعقل يُدّك
وقلب يُشّق
وروح تُفتق
و تسقط عَبرة وتُخنق عَبرة
لتُبعث نفس
وتزهر مهجة
وتولد فكرة
.
Birth
As soil pushed apart for a flower to grow
As a rock split asunder for a seed to bloom
Thus life gets eroded
Mind grinned
Heart crushed
Soul squeezed
A fallen tear… a smothered tear
Resurrection
Blossom
A thought is born

اعيش حالة من الحزن تشبه الموت ولا اقول الا كقول الصدّيقة مريم
” يا ليتني مت قبل هذا وكنت نسياً منسياً “
كيف لا ؟
ارى موطني يتفتت فييتفتت قلبي هلعاً
وارى الأخ يذبح اخاه فينفطر قلبي جزعاً
آه يا امة ما حملت الرسالة
آه يا امة قد خانت الامانة
آه يا امة روعت قلب الرسول
آه يا امة ادمعت عين البتول
“وإن تتولوا يستبدل قوماً غيركم ثم لا يكونوا أمثالكم”
.
Tears
I live a state of sadness that resembles death
I say nothing but what Mariam, the pure, have said
“Ah! would that I had died before this!
Would that I had been a forgotten memory, out of sight!”
.
Why not?
.
I see a Homeland torn to pieces… my heart is slaughtered
I see a brother slaying his own… my soul is ripped apart
.
Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for not delivering the Message
Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for betraying trust
Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for breaking the heart of the Messenger
Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for bringing tears into the eyes of the pure
.
“If ye turn away, He will substitute in your stead another people;
then they would not be like you!”

From the womb of agony
Dreams are born
Sweet and pure
We nourish and groom
And watch them grow
After living in us
Long enough
They come alive
Before we know it
We start living in them
Living…them

How could one be spiritual
Without being saturated in love?
It’s impossible
How would one experience love
Without being spiritual to the core?
It’s not possible
.
.
When you love
You are bursting with curiosity
Teeming with awe and wonder
You see splendour all around
In the most unlikely places
And the most unnoticeable things
.
.
This beautiful feeling
Immeasurable
Irrational
Majestic
Real
Mysterious
Overwhelming
Defying all laws
Challenging all notions
Transcending all boundaries
Refusing to be defined
Making life worth living
Gives you a glimpse into the infinite
The unknown
.
.
The more deeply you look at the visible
The closer you become to seeing the invisible
.
.
As you board the boat of love
You embrace your spiritual-self
Embarking on a magical journey
Floating… following your destiny
Spirituality and love are inseparable… intertwined

What kind of music is this I am hearing?
Who is whispering in my ear?
Scented words that has no meaning
To no one else but this poor little girl
Drizzling love…serene delightful
Fizzing my mind with fragrant sparkles
Showering me with sweet aroma
Bathing me in heavenly foam
Suds of joy danced around
Bubbles of ecstasy embraced my soul

You bombard us with death
.
.
We “retaliate” by loving life… ever more
.
.
You destroy our land
.
.
We fight back by tending more
.
.
You uproot our trees
.
.
We resist by planting more
.
.
You display your arrogance
.
.
We share our hospitality and love of humanity
.

You froth your supremacy with vengeance
.

We embrace hope with faithful glee

You turn our farms into eyesore fortresses

We heal and caress with warm loving hands

You steal our organs and chop our limbs

Our tolerance grows… Our hearts expands

.
You restrict our movement

.
Our wings carry us far and high
.

You destroy our homes
.

Our love for the world increases many folds

You imprison us behind walls

We fly beyond reality and dreams

You bomb our schools

We learn in the street

You cut off our energy supplies

With candle light we persevere

You flood us with hate and cruelty

Our compassion grows … keeping us afloat

You imprison our finest

Our mothers sing for love and freedom

You try to humiliate us

Dignity becomes our trademark

Our courage becomes a legend

You try to turn our lives to misery

Our infectious celebrations inspire joy and jubilation

You kill our babies

Our henna-painted hands embrace those who are yet to be born

You can burn our homes, food, beds and toys
.
.
But you can never steal our tranquility and peace of mind
Nor can you stop us from playing
.
.
Out of your horror
We create beauty
.
.
In your bombshells
We grow daffodils, lilies, basil and Jasmine
.
.
Your nerve and teargas bombs
We fill with flowers, scented and delightful
.
.
Do you really think
Such spirit can be defeated!
.
.
NAY
Such is the spirit of Palestine

When I visited my friend, we sat to watch the news together with her little girl Lina, who surprised us with her wisdom and compassion.
Six-year-old Lina
Sitting with her mum
In her world of dreams
Watching news
Gazing away
Abruptly she says
“Mama
You know
Those Jews
Who took our land
If suddenly
They changed their mind
Decided
To give it all back
Even our trees
And our food
Then they’d become poor
They wouldn’t have to worry
We will give them
Some of our food
Share with them
Every thing we have
Mama
We won’t be bad”
This little Lina
Only months ago
Had a soldier’s gun
Pointing against her head
This little Lina
Only weeks ago
Had her uncle’s home
By their bulldozers
Razed to the ground
This little Lina
Didn’t know that
Only today
Some settlers
Protected by guns
And soldiers,
Invaded her village
Silwan
Near Jerusalem
Forced the inhabitants out
Of their homes
And occupied them
This little Lina
Proved very wrong
All that they say
“The abused …
Will become the abuser”
This little Lina
Never lost her soul
This little Lina
No doubt
Is our hope
And our ultimate victory
February/2004

In faces of children, pure, innocent and adorable, I see the beauty of God
In my inexplicable ability to feel joy and sorrow, I see the heart of God
In my humble capacity and willingness to forgive I see the compassion of God
In my unfathomable awareness and comprehension, I see the Mind of God
In the ocean of love gushing through my being, embracing all, I see the face of God

I Am So blessed
I am so blessed
Being a Palestinian
Being a refugee
For over fifty years
I am so blessed
I wasn’t in the tank
With an army uniform
Killing and destroying
To frighten people away
“It was a barren land”
Later on to say!
I am so blessed
Being under curfew
For most of my life
I am so blessed
I wasn’t with the army
Erecting high walls
Shooting at civilians
At every check-point
I am so blessed
Losing my father
In one of their raids
I am so blessed
That it was not I
Flying planes of terror
Firing that missile
Then Laughing and rejoicing
The mission was a success
I am so blessed
Watching my brother
Being taken away
I am so blessed
I wasn’t one of those
Kicking till he bled
From his nose and head
I am so blessed
Burying my baby
With a bullet in her heart
I am so blessed
I wasn’t that soldier
Who took a baby’s life
Nor was I his mother
Who welcomed him a hero
When coming back home
I am so blessed
Sleeping in a UN tent
Shivering in the freezing cold
I am so blessed
I wasn’t that settler
Who occupied my home
Justifying massacres
With a “PROMISE SO DIVINE”
Then, tossing and turning
All night long
Wondering what’s wrong
Haunted by his deeds
Searching like mad
For a long lost peace
Which he can’t find
I am so blessed
Holding David’s stone
In my little hand
I am so blessed
I wasn’t giant Goliath
With mass-destruction might
Seeing himself invincible
With no hope in sight

You are God’s masterpiece
Yes… you
Those magical eyes
When you’re happy smiling
And even when you cry
This mind of yours
A universe within
Fascinating, magnificent
By its very existence
But more so, its awareness
That it exists
That big warm heart
So loving, full of passion
Without even knowing how or why
Can you keep a secret?
If you promise,
I’ll share it with you…
Did you say yes?
Ok then… listen carefully
Your desire for love is an in-built yearning
To be with the One Most Loving, God
Your hunger for justice is the innate longing
For the Supreme Just, God
Your search for peace is truly hunting
The Only Source of Peace, God
Your secret wish for eternity is merely a deep aspiration
For the Eternal God
Your profound fascination of beauty is purely awe and wonder
Of the One Most Beautiful, God
Your appreciation of all creative arts is simply admiration
Of the One Most Creative, God
Beware, don’t be distracted by signs on the way
They’re only means to get you by
Don’t mistake them for your aim
Otherwise; your harvest will merely be
Big disappointments and flat empty dreams
A heart full of sorrow confused and jeopardized
Carry on along the path
Your home and final destination
Is the One and Only, God
For… you are God’s very own
Masterpiece

by Palestinian poet Tawfeeq Ziyad
And I’d give half my lifetime to he who makes a crying child laugh
And I’d give the other half to protect a green flower from decay
And I’d walk a thousand years following a song
And I’d cross a thousand valleys whose paths are full of thorns
And I’d sail every sea that is rough to gather the scent at the lilac shores
I am humanity in the shape of human
So would I relax, while the chaste blood is being spilled!!
I’m singing to life
For to life I offered all my poems
And my poems are all I’ve got

Forgiveness is not a one way street, just like love, forgiveness is an act of between two; the forgiver is the giver, the forgiven is the receiver to-be-given.
No matter how much willing the forgiver might be to forgive, his/her gift cannot be felt, sensed or received if the forgiven-to-be is not ready to receive.
Readiness to receive comes in three-folds, encompassing past, present and future. Readiness to receive means acknowledging the wrong done (in the past), the willingness to correct it (in the present) and the intention not to do again (in the future).
Only with applying these heart-purifying, soul-healing thoughts and deeds that a wrong-doer can taste the sweetness of forgiveness (being forgiven).
The forgiver may be always ready to for-give but without the willingness and the active participation of the forgiven-to-be, the receiver cannot and will not benefit from the act of forgiveness.
Teaching people to forgive is good and well but it is not sufficient to cleanse society of its ills. It only creates a lopsided society with predators and bullies who always get away with everything on the one hand, and of the meek and the subdued who always succumb and surrender, on the other.
People who are taught to forgive are the abused, those who are wronged in the first place, they are generally the passive, meek and good-natured.
Much more in need of teaching are the abusers, those who are wronging others, they are the active predators and aggressors, they are the ones in need to be taught how to cease their wrong-doing and how to seek forgiveness.
When only the meek, good and vulnerable are taught to forgive and turn the other cheek, while completely ignoring to teach or coerce the bully and powerful to cease his aggression and to seek forgiveness, the scale of justice in a society would fall heavily on one side, no doubt favouring the aggressor and the powerful, thus creating total imbalance which inevitably means perpetual loss of peace and harmony.
Talking to the abused about forgiveness before protecting his life and rights, and while he is still under the boot of the abuser is nothing but complicity in the crime.
After stopping the criminal from committing more crimes, then and only then may the abused feel liberated and free to explore the avenues of forgiveness.
Defending and protecting the weak, meek, oppressed and abused by stopping the aggressors from his aggression is the foundation to creating a peaceful and harmonious society.
Justice ====> peace ===> forgiveness

Today
Everything was black and white…
Void of your presence
My world was grey
You walk in
All blushes with blossom
Vibrant… fantastic hues
Today
My universe was 2D
I could only slide sideways
Just about left or right
You walk in
Up… I pop… I jump
In so many directions
My cosmos is of ten dimensions
Free… I fly
Today
I was blue icy cold
My shattered frosty pieces
Rattled inside
You walk in
My spring blooms
Jasmine… lilies…
Tulips and azaleas
Today
I was diminishing
Fraying… fading away
You walk in
My heart… consoled
My smile… radiant
My soul… whole
Restored
Today… all was dull
Shrouded with gloom
Clouded by despair
With a touch of magic
Of your being
Life is transformed
Exhilarating
Majestic
Supreme

Painting walls and doors blue
will not make it “Jewish”

Waving angry flags up and down
will not make it “Jewish”
Scribbling around fantasies and lies
will not make it “Jewish”
Destroying evidence of deep rooted history
will not make it “Jewish”
Replacing Arabic with Hebrew names
will not make it “Jewish”
Uprooting trees and stealing livelihoods
will not make it “Jewish”
Desecrating monasteries where peace is the prayer
will not make it “Jewish”
Writing Hebrew words on stolen olive oil
will not make it “Jewish”
Burning fruit trees to tighten the squeeze
will not make it “Jewish”
Shredding Holy books to pieces, with a grin
will not make it “Jewish”
Erasing a country from the world map
will not make it “Jewish”
Moving in, at gun point to some family home
will not make it “Jewish”
Marketing our Hummus as “Israeli Sabra”
will not make it “Jewish”
Disfiguring kuffiah with six-pointed stars
will not make it “Jewish”
Vandalizing the world with blue paint in every corner
will not make it “Jewish”
Claiming God is a real-estate agent favouring his “chosen”
will not make it “Jewish”
Invading fully armed, a mosque or a church
will not make it “Jewish”
Destroying landscapes, for eyesore construction
will not make it “Jewish”
Bombing hills and mountains while hiding the crime
will not make it “Jewish”
Defiant Land
Faithful Land
Holy Land
Her stones yearn to be caressed
Only by those hands
which tenderly carved
NOTHING… NOTHING of what they do will ever make it “Jewish”
Defiant Land
Faithful Land
Holy Land
Her heart beats only
for those gentle eyes
which watered her with tears
she passionately adores
NOTHING… NOTHING of what they do will ever make it “Jewish”

Gilad Atzmon argues that in order to best support Palestine we must cease to view the Palestinian struggle as “just another apartheid” or “just another colonial project”
What makes the occupation of Palestine “unique” is not the “specialness” of the suffering of Palestinians, nor is it the “uniqueness” of their tragedy or the “importance” of their cause.
What makes it “unique”is the fact that: those Jewish Zionists who occupy Palestine, those Jewish Zionists who support them, and even many of those Jewish anti-Zionists who oppose them view themselves as “unique”.
Many Jewish anti-Zionists view themselves as unique in the sense that they frantically hold on the notion of the “uniqueness” of the “Jewish suffering” and the inevitability of future “multi-holocausts” due to historic, intrinsic and incurable human-condition called “anti-semitism” which is in their view a “special” case of racism of inexplicable “hatred” for Jews.
With a considerable majority, whether hard-core Zionists, soft, liberal, or anti-Zionists, they have acquired a distorted image of themselves, their suffering, their history, their morality, and that of the world.
At the core of this perceived “uniqueness” lies the rotten seed of millennia of indoctrination with the concept of “CHOSEN-NESS” which gave birth to troubling concepts such as the so called “Jewish chutzpa“, the perceived feeling of “exclusivity”, “specialness”, “elitism”, and the illusion of having “special mission”, “higher” morality, “superior” intellect, and “unique” history and suffering.
The failure of Jewish communities -liberal and otherwise- to acknowledge, address and deal with this “heritage” in a sincere and healing manner will provoke severe and unavoidable consequences.
As it appears, many people of those who identify themselves as Jews fail to see the there is a fundamental contradiction and total incompatibility between their claim of humanism and their practices of exclusivity, and their claim of “high Jewish morality” and their real life practices of slander and excommunication when dealing with others whom they disagree with.
How can they talk about such a notion as “Jewish morality” or “Jewish heritage”:
While practicing oppression, either physical -as in the case of Zionist occupiers- or mental and psychological as in the case of anti-Zionists practice of thought oppression;
while viewing “the other” as less able intellectually or morally (i.e inferior) who is in constant need for guidance;
while placing themselves “at the helm” of social progress and imposing themselves as “guardians” of anti-racist campaigns and as “leaders” of liberation movements;
while appointing themselves as the intellectual and moral “elite” with the exclusive privilege to define the meaning of words such as racism and the right to identify who is racist or not;
while granting themselves the irrevocable and the unquestionable right to label, ostracize and excommunicate others as they wish;
Those who are engaged in the above appear to lack the most rudimentary qualities of modesty and humility needed to enable us humans to examine and evaluate our own words, actions and thoughts.
Thus they fail to gain the insight needed to self-reflect, self-criticize, self-improve thus to integrate without causing others to feel intimidated or oppressed.
Sooner or later people of the world (Palestinians included) will have to come to face such dreadful reality and deal with it.

Oh human
Can’t you see!
I am precisely like you
I don’t like being humiliated
I am no one’s doormat
I’m person in my own right
When I was born
I was born innocent
Happy and free
A normal life
With dignity
Wouldn’t you?
Waiting to be born
And that… after hardship… passes away
Ease will come to life… very soon
Pain and cruelty
Upon this little girl
And upon her homeland
Eyes open wide
In bewilderment
And disbelief
Is a fiction movie
It’s not really true”
Puzzled… I agonize
Wiping tears off my saddened face
Searching around
Any one there?
Looking up… into sky
Did You hear my cries?
Did You witness the crime?
Suddenly
Knock… knock
A gentle tap
Yes, coming
Who is there?
Smiling at my heart
Standing by my door

Even when full
Bites of hunger eat my guts
Clad with soft and silky garments
I feel bare, no clothes can veil
Wrapped up cosy in a home so warm
My shivering bones are bitterly cold
Snug and secure in my serene abode
In constant fear… ever terrorized
No health problems or complaint
Yet throbbing pains tear me apart
This being within is not only me
But all of those who roam the earth
Longing to be loved
Yearning to be Seen
No warmth … No shelter
No wealth… No health
No food … No haven
Fleeting in stealth
Longing to be loved
Yearning to be Seen
When a child lies in bed with hunger
When a baby dies for a droplet of water
When tots are torn with drones to pieces
Hearts of angels burst into flames… blazing fire
Souls of prophets split asunder
Heaven cries with rage and thunder
Wait man… wait
God postpones… Never ignores
Closing your eyes pretending not to see
God’s eyes neither snooze nor go to sleep
Tenderly caressing fathers who mourn
Watching over mamas who weep
NO… No escape
We are all to blame
No lame excuse can wash our shame
Don’t get me wrong, no offence intended
But truth can hurt and may even kill
Gazing in the abyss while staying still
No longer an option… You have got a will
Don’t go far searching for the truth
Look inside, search only within
Open your heart and sing my song
Praise the Sublime and join along
Yes I am indeed all of those
Who roam the earth
Fleeting in stealth
Longing to be loved
Yearning to be seen

يا ودود
Ya Wadoud
Dear Most Loving
Here I am
Wandering in the wilderness
Cold… soaking… frightened… lonely… lost
Dripping pain and sorrow
Arriving
Knocking at your door
Humbly kneeling down
Hands upraised
Face hidden with tears
Requesting of your generosity
Appealing of your kindness
Pleading of your mercy
Shroud me with your bliss
Wrap me up with your pleasure
Shower me with your blessings
Make no desire in my heart
Greater than being with you
No aspiration dearer
Than the bounty of your love
Make me a mouthpiece of Your truth
A fingerprint of Your creativity
An ambassador of Your reality
Make me a pathway of Your certainty
A sign of Your authenticity
A whisper of Your inspiration
Make me a fountain of kindness
A lantern of guidance
A waterfall of honesty
A cascade of delight
Make me a footstep
Leading to Your splendour
Make me a pail
Pouring out love
Watching all content
Make me a lamp
Glowing with tenderness and warmth
Until none is lost in darkness or despair
Make me a cloud
Full of goodness
Raining joy
Planting affection
Flowering passion
Blooming compassion
Fruiting closeness
Picking intimacy
Feeding ecstasy and reunion
Watching all fulfilled
Living whole… serene and satisfied
Dear Most Loving
It’s only through knowing you
Can distressed hearts
Find tranquillity and peace
The wise have said:
“ if you love a thing so much, it will reveal its secrets to you”
Dear Most Loving
Here I am
An empty vessel
Lift me… fill me… use me
As You wish
My will is nothing
But Yours
Dear Most Loving
I am walking towards you
Your promise is true
Come running towards me
Hold me… embrace me
I am all Yours

Watch the heart-wrenching screams of children as they watch their home being torn to pieces by the “brave” soldiers of the “holy nation”
The “chosen” terrorists are only using Palestine as their lab. This BARBARIC behaviour of the Jewish-Zionist “Israelis” will be coming soon to a neighbourhood near YOU, through their Rothschild banksters and ilk.
GET EDUCATED
STAY AWAKE

A century of savage aggression;
Ethnically cleansing us,
Slow-genociding us,
Slaughtering our babies,
Breaking the bones of our children,
Shooting at point blank our boys and girls,
Imprisoning and torturing our bravest,
Assassinating our finest,
Denying our refugees the right to go back home,
Eradicating our exquisite architectural heritage,
Dissecting and disconnecting our towns,
Uprooting our fruit and olive trees,
Stealing our water and resources,
Destroying our Biblical villages,
Demolishing our homes,
Mutilating our landscape,
Deforming our valleys,
Maiming our hills,
Polluting our environment,
Desecrating our places of worship,
Violating the sanctuary of our ancestors,
Defecating our cultural buildings,
Disfiguring our treasured and much loved land into a nuclear dump,
Transforming our peaceful, hospitable, inclusive, agricultural, life-fostering spiritual Holy Land,
Into a satanic, exclusivist, tribalistic, unholy, militaristic fortress
For the production of weapons of mass destruction.
Then,
After all that;
They get “offended” that
WE DO NOT PARTICULARLY LOVE THEM !
HELLO…
How can one “love” evil?
Are they really humans,
Or was I right in my childhood perception ? *
* * * * *
* When I was a little girl, and because people in my village used to speak of them in fear and whispers, for the massacres and bloodshed caused by them -Deir Yassin is just next door, so for many years I used to think that they are huge scary monsters
