I pray Allah that it won't be at all. In all cases, and on behalf on my community, I really would like to salute you and the people like you who were so steadfast against this war, for peace, for civil rights and for justice. I wish I could have few hours extra each day or a day or two extra each week, to keep the pace with the activities you are holding here and there. However, I am busy preparing the next generation who may be more able to defend their rights and oppose injustice. We will stay not far from the effort and will join in as much as we could. The picture may seem so dark today. Preparations for an unjust war by the most powerful nation against one of the poorest are taking place. No proof was provided to make the case of the war. The entire world, dozens and dozens of nations, for the entire time in history are uprising in peaceful demonstrations opposing the war. The guy with the gun doesn't want to listen. Today I heard about another brave American woman who were smashed under an Israeli bulldozer she was trying to stop from destroying some Palestinian homes. Every day, they kill a smash a dozen of Palestinian men, women and children. They bomb homes and burn tress and garden. They arrest dozens of Palestinians where they go to where no body knows where, and they never come back. Thousands and thousands are being incarcerated by the occupation army. The US never called that terrorism. Never called it crimes against humanity. They only used the Veto 35 times against UN resolutions condemning the Israeli aggression. Last time was last December after the Jenin Massacre when the UN wanted just to condemn Israel. Just condemning not even calling for an embargo or sanctions. Even a condemnation is not allowed. 35 times. The US says about Iraq it breached 6 UN resolutions. Does not recall dozens of Israeli resolutions "condemning" Israel. US economy is in worst state. The house is discussing raising aid to Israel by 12$ billions. To fight Palestinian terrorism. The President calls Sharon, a man of Peace. Sharon says about Bush; best supporter to Israel. The only nation that will benefit from such a war. Not even the US. Not even the UK or Spain. Israel! In a post Iraqi war. US will convince its new allied Iraqi government to receive millions of Palestinians who will be transferred from their land and homes to Iraq. For the region to be in Peace. In a post Iraqi war, there may be new terrorist attacks against US interests. This will make Americans more convinced of helping Israel fighting against "Palestinian Terrorism". Now that Iraq is gone. Israel can start invade new countries to achieve the dream of Greater Israel as it is sketched on Israeli currency. From the Nile to the Euphrates. Every body was surprised of the President short speech about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on Friday. I wasn't. It's all planned my friend. Could the UN speak out at that time? Could any people on earth demonstrate or rally against it? If it doesn't work today, it won't work tomorrow. I believe the Peace movement should never despair. Should continue on and on until the President finds himself few months away from elections and 10 millions shouting outside of the white house. I hope that an incident such as what happened today in Gaza to that brave young woman, could be a trigger to wake up American people about the real danger which is there. For them and for everybody else. Most people are good people but most of them don't know. Let's have them know.
