That’s it! It’s countdown for Israel now; it may take several years but it’s over already.. It just can’t get any lower than this.. Their brutality proves their moral impotence! Zionists are no longer humans, it seems!
And still despite everything going on, I have to say to my fellow Muslims: Happy Eid! Please enjoy your Eid & fix your heart & mind with conviction on a Free Palestine while doing so.. Let it be your goal that Palestinians shall enjoy Ramadan & Eid very soon..
لن تستطيعي أن تجدي الشمس في غرفة مغلقة
You can’t find the Sun in a locked room

The Orthodox Church in Gaza opened its door for Muslims to observe Laylat Al Qadr ❤️ Israel bombed the UNRWA school, so no place is safe really but it’s a reminder that religion has nothing to do with!
لن أرتد حتى أزرع في الأرض جنتي أو أقتلع من السماء جنة أو أموت أو نموت معاً
I will not cease until I plant my own paradise on my land or tear a paradise from Heavens or I die or we all die together - Ghassan Kanafani
"Islam is not just about expressing emotional solidarity! Islam is about dealing with و ابدأ بمن تعول Begin with your family"
I HATE protesting cause it’s such a waste of precious energy! :( We need to transmute this genuine justifiable anger into something productive on a personal level first! “Put on your own oxygen mask first before assissting others.”
If I am getting lousy grades at school, if I am struggling to have a decent relationship with my parents, if I am not happy with my significant other, if I go ballistic reading something I don’t agree with by a random stranger online, if I am living as an emotional and/or economical parasite; sure I can contribute to humanitarian relief, but I need to get real busy taking care of my issues & sort MY life out if I am to make real difference.
الحرية تطالب بدينها باستمرار … تطالب بالمسؤوليه تطالب بعبء تحمله و ان لم تجد عبئاً تتحول هي نفسها الى عبء لا يحتمل ولا يطاق
Freedom incessantly demands its due: it demands responsibility, it demands a burden to be borne; and if it doesn’t receive that, Freedom itself will be an unbearable and insufferable burden
”— Mustafa Mahmud (1921-2009) - an Egyptian Scientist & a prolific author who had some doubts before converting back to Islam.. best known for his book “A Conversation with my Atheist Friend”

Dear Mr Anon..
I really appreciate the time & effort you put into your messages. I’m sure It was much easier to use insulting language instead of ideas, but you my friend were sincere. You didn’t get your ego involved. Much respect, its people like you that quietly make a difference in this world.
If you are willing, can you please write your interesting analysis of the situation & send it to me & I’ll publish it anonymously? take your time with it ofc
God Bless you.
imnn replied to your post: My layman view of the situation (excus…
What the hell is wrong with you? Are you seriously advocating this bull? I am speechless by your blatant and incredibly naive, in fact stupid, analysis. Turn off your computer and learn the definitions of the fancy words you do not understand.
At least you admit it’s an analysis. You just used “fancy” words like bull and stupid. you didn’t help me see your point though. perhaps you were too angry you forgot to make one. Your indignation about atrocities is something I commend you for, but that admirable indignation is useless if you become “speechless” every time you face something you don’t agree with.
Dearest friends,
The last night was extreme. The “ground invasion” of Gaza resulted in scores and carloads with maimed, torn apart, bleeding, shivering, dying - all sorts of injured Palestinians, all ages, all civilians, all innocent.
The heroes in the ambulances and in all of Gaza’s hospitals are working 12-24 hour shifts, grey from fatigue and inhuman workloads (without payment all in Shifa for the last 4 months), they care, triage, try to understand the incomprehensible chaos of bodies, sizes, limbs, walking, not walking, breathing, not breathing, bleeding, not bleeding humans. HUMANS!
Now, once more treated like animals by “the most moral army in the world” (sic!).
My respect for the wounded is endless, in their contained determination in the midst of pain, agony and shock; my admiration for the staff and volunteers is endless, my closeness to the Palestinian “sumud” gives me strength, although in glimpses I just want to scream, hold someone tight, cry, smell the skin and hair of the warm child, covered in blood, protect ourselves in an endless embrace - but we cannot afford that, nor can they.
Ashy grey faces - Oh NO! Not one more load of tens of maimed and bleeding, we still have lakes of blood on the floor in the ER, piles of dripping, blood-soaked bandages to clear out - oh - the cleaners, everywhere, swiftly shovelling the blood and discarded tissues, hair, clothes,cannulas - the leftovers from death - all taken away … to be prepared again, to be repeated all over. More then 100 cases came to Shifa in the last 24 hrs. Enough for a large well trained hospital with everything, but here - almost nothing: no electricity, water, disposables, drugs, OR-tables, instruments, monitors - all rusted and as if taken from museums of yesterday’s hospitals. But they do not complain, these heroes. They get on with it, like warriors, head on, enormously resolute.
And as I write these words to you, alone, on a bed, my tears flow, the warm but useless tears of pain and grief, of anger and fear. This is not happening!
An then, just now, the orchestra of the Israeli war-machine starts its gruesome symphony again, just now: salvos of artillery from the navy boats just down on the shores, the roaring F16, the sickening drones (Arabic ‘Zennanis’, the hummers), and the cluttering Apaches. So much made in and paid by the US.
Mr. Obama - do you have a heart?
I invite you - spend one night - just one night - with us in Shifa. Disguised as a cleaner, maybe.
I am convinced, 100%, it would change history.
Nobody with a heart AND power could ever walk away from a night in Shifa without being determined to end the slaughter of the Palestinian people.
But the heartless and merciless have done their calculations and planned another “dahyia” onslaught on Gaza.
The rivers of blood will keep running the coming night. I can hear they have tuned their instruments of death.
Please. Do what you can. This, THIS cannot continue.

Anonymous said: I hope you realize how illogical you sound in your last post. You really think the problem will solve itself if Palestine sat back and watched their kids and homes get bombed into thousands of pieces and hope that the war ends soon? Haven't you thought about who started it? It's totally justifiable what the Zionists are doing, but what Hamas or whatever's doing isn't justifiable? It doesn't make any sense. You're completely wrong. Read Quran instead of that book and you'll know better.
Was Prophet Muhammad illogical when he maintained complete nonviolence for thirteen years in Mecca despite the vicious persecution? & since you brought Quran into it, I refer you to chapter 4 verse 77
