I Love Helen Thomas

Joy Behar is such a freaking idiot. Her lack of knowledge was extremely painful to watch. Someone should have explained to her stupid ass what the word "semite" means and that Arabs are semites too. But she's a moron who should stick to her gig on "The View."

The only good thing about this interview is Helen Thomas of course. I love this lady. Unlike other "journalists", Ms. Thomas has kept it real; always asking the tough questions and refusing to back down. And she didn't disappoint me here either. She stuck by her words and used her time on CNN to talk about the plight of the Palestinians.

My only advice to Ms. Thomas is that she try to avoid appearing on programs like Behar's show; it's beneath her.

 

Syrian Blogger Sentenced To Five Years In Prison

Someone needs to call the moronic Syrian government and tell them to start watching the news. Did they not learn anything from recent events in Egypt and Tunisia? Sentencing a blogger to five years in prison without any evidence whatsoever is a stupid move. Intimidating and stifling journalists and bloggers will only backfire on these police state regimes.

Here's a word of advice to the rest of the Arab dictatorships in the region: Intimidating people and stifling dissent at any cost will only lead to a faster downfall.

Watch out Syria...you could be next!

Egypt: You've Made Me Believe Again

The people have spoken and Hosni Mubarak is no longer president of Egypt. Congratulations to all of Egypt and inshaAllah this ferver and demand for justice, freedom, and accountabilty spreads throughout the rest of the Middle East.

Whether you're flying high with euphoria or skeptical about what comes next...today was cause for celebration. The good guys won. This is a victory for the oppressed of the Middle East. And today is proof that those killed fighting injustice and oppression did not die in vain.

To the NEW Egypt I say this: Make sure you stay true to this revolution. Honor those who sacrificed their lives for this cause by ensuring corruption and oppression are a thing of the past. Don't compromise on your demands. The road ahead will be a long and arduous one, but I now have faith in you Egypt. Please don't disappoint me!

 

 

 

Israeli Terrorism That NO ONE Talks About

I made a promise to myself earlier in the day that I will begin updating this blog again. When I turned my computer on tonight I was thinking my first post back would probably be about Mubarak (the Pharaoh) who refuses to get the hint that his old ass needs to step down once and for all. However, a friend of mine on Facebook posted a link from 972 Magazine about an 11-year-old Palestinian boy being arrested by Israeli "border police."

Inside the Military Repression of Nabi Saleh: Arrest of Children from Joseph Dana on Vimeo.

 

I'm seething with anger right now and I'm not sure if I'll be able to truly express how I feel about this video and the injustice that Palestinians are constantly being subjected to.

Israelis constantly talk about terrorism and how they live in fear from terrorist attacks. What about the daily terror that Palestinians are forced to endure from Israelis? Grown men running after and arresting an 11-year-old boy...is that not terrorism? Ripping a child from his mother...is that not terrorism?

What are these so-called police officers thinking when they are running after and arresting children? What are they feeling when they take a child away from his mother? How the hell do these assholes sleep at night?

A nation built on the occupation of another group of people will never succeed. A nation that uses intimidation, force, and imprisonment to subjugate another group of people will NEVER succeed. A nation that finds it necessary to arrest and terrorize children is an immoral nation that will NEVER succeed.

My thoughts all over the place and I don't want to go off on a tangent, but I'd like to end this post by saying this: FUCK YOU Israel.
