It’s funny-sad how we are more likely to remember our people when conditions get faar beyond humanity and down in the dumps!
To be honest, I haven’t been watching much news lately.
People have been watching the Gaza situation for God knows how long now, our people are in no need for our sympathy, nor do they want us to cry over their misery and despair, they are calling for immediate action. Screw the media! People are hungry!
I wonder where humanitarian institutions are and what they do! I have looked up a list of Relief Organisations http://www.globalcorps.com/jobs/ngolist.doc ..don’t know where to go from there… anyone knows?

I don’t want to be defensive here , Let’s Do something rather than just critisizing each other , it is a matter of action… I still think that starting somewhere even small is a good Idea…

I agree with Onzlo – the Arabs are not helpless, they have chosen to do nothing. If Egypt opens its borders with Gaza I am sure the 200million odd Arabs out there can each spare a cup of flour, oil or water to feed Gaza many times over.

Unfortunately, our leaders are puppets and the people are more interested in Nancy 3ajram’s cleavage.

By the way, as an aside, I think the “lets design a logo” approach is the best idea since the french nobility’s “let them eat cake” campaign of the 1700s.

I Say ,Close the Israeli Embassy in Amman and cut all diplomatic and military cooperation with racist Zionist entity ,this is the best thing the regime in Amman can redeem and exeronate itself….

What I don’t understand is why don’t the Egyptians do something about this? They actually share a border with Gaza, and if I remember correctly control one of the crossings!

let’s not mistake the media’s quest for ratings with any humanitarian concern for Arabs in Gaza. The same media watched over the slow murder of over 1.5 million Iraqi babies during the Anglo sanctions on Iraq.

What I find most frustrating is the fact that the Arab leaders act completely helpless to solve this crisis affecting their brothers and sisters in Gaza, while they run to the help of the U.S. and europe to bail them out of their financial crisis. Its a well-known fact that the Gulf countries are expected to splash out the cash, why don’t they squeeze the west’s left nut and refrain from helping until the Gaza crisis is solved?..

My point was any action is needed here ya Nas. Not only a logo or a slogan , but collectively we are a full community , if we share our actions and just do it no matter how small they are it will add up. Please let’s look at the full picture and not restrict our views on samples we know.

The point is to start somewhere no matter how small that place or thing is…

abu abdullah: while i share your frustration with the situation, some how, i don’t think a logo and a slogan is going to do the job.

bambam: hmm..interesting observation.

I just love the little detail of the fact that the israeli in the cartoon is actually the only person giving them anything, the world is giving them tears while the arabs are crying their tears and piling them up so they don’t reach the kids …. so practically they are the ones giving nothing to gaza.
seriously i think the fat lady had sung.

I will not scream yet … I have a saying in this before i do.

We must act in all means and try to increase the awareness through the codes of this age which is the media , I guess Blogging is one of them but we really need to understand the problem before trying to solve it . So let’s be focused , why not start something to end up in a marsh ta GAZA , everything we need to do or say , this is the time to say it or do it ; As per say , the movements that are getting organized are only the ones who are making any effect on the siege , I tried to open the subject with a few friends to find out that there life style does not allow them to proceed in such mattes seriously , All we need to do is start something , not a protest but a movement , awareness campaign , forcing the governments to act , Wallahi the Ministers are people they feel like we do , and they can be convinced to do things if they were right , we have to put pressure on our Foreign affairs instruments , HM King Abdullah sent to the world the message that the siege over Gaza in non-humanitarian and it should stop, we are still afraid to start anything let’s talk in the world’s language , let’s make a logo that will be spread eveywhere in Jordan why not use that ???

WE have more power than we think especially ones who are in the media and knows how communicate with the mass and the highly sophisticated Persons… Lets launch a slogan with a logo to increase the recognition rate in the world , if we can’t do something serious then there is no point of us learning all this , this is where it will count … Maybe one of us will find thy self in such actions , ,, ,
