 BaKhabar team salutes the true spirit of unity, expressed in The Spirit of The Union ... Congratulations to everyone in UAE on the UAE National Day, 2nd December 2012
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favour of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favour, brothers. (Quran, Al Imran: 103) Long live Gaza! Dear
Readers, Assalam Alaikum. The last month has been so eventful that I really don’t know where to begin from or how to end this little piece called edit for December.Amid all the darkness of wanton wars, fascist funerals, and hurried hangings, I think, I will choose the easiest subject to hammer upon. The heart crushing Gaza massacre may not come as a surprise to many, but shocking is the nonchalance with which the world has accepted this truce after the murder of more than around one hundred and fifty Palestinians. Israel can never call this murder a defence of its land; as this land belongs to Palestine, Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential voices on this issue, tells us. The murder at Gaza is best described by Tom Plastow, Gaza is about 25 miles long and 5 miles wide. Its population is 1.6 million people, and nearly half of those are children. Their food, water, and energy supply are all controlled by Israel. This isnt a war. This is shooting fish in a barrel.  The slaughter of innocent Palestinians is heinous enough but more monstrous is the silence of the world and our so called Muslim leaders. It is sinister. But another powerful voice of Uri Avnery, comforts, A draw between tiny Gaza and powerful Israel means victory for Gaza. Long live Gaza! Berating Israel comes easier to me, than say near home, where people are arrested for Face book posts and for clicking the ’like’ button, and where our ‘free’ media chokes us with its tiring tirades about natural deaths and unnatural corruptions. I love Malcolm X, when he expounds something like this, If you are not careful the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. Fortunate was Malcolm with the big X, that he didn’t live in our times of 24 hour news television and more fortunate as he didn’t have to put up with the likes of Arnab Goswamis ! [Last I heard Arnab was being nominated for Anchor of the Year Award, for keeping mum for one long second! ] Our media too makes it harder for us to tell fact from fiction and we are left helpless plus hopeless, when from fiction it turns to sheer propaganda. The distortion by media is so horrendous that recently some students told Glasgow university researchers that they believed that Palestinians are the very illegal colonizers of their own land! But empty protests and Facebook updates for Palestine [or for that matter any other cause] would not yield much. The Oxpal Project [for more info on it please visit, http:// www.medicineafrica.com/node/23], started by an Oxford student, utilizes its talents to provide quality medical training to the Palestinians. They do this most noble work through online training and a yearly on-ground course in Palestine. What a wonderful way to protest! If you really wish to help a cause, contribute through your work, work for extra hours or save money on those extra luxurious Samsungs and Apps, and pay for the food or education of the oppressed. This should be how we should protest. Before signing off, I need to tell you this. We must remember there may be many defeats but WE are not defeated. Peace upon you.
