► Anonymous #OpIsrael.  Published on Nov 17, 2012 by Hiluxanon. Greetings Citizens of the world, this is Anonymous. It has come to our attention that the Israeli government has ignored repeated warnings about the abuse of human rights, shutting down the internet in Israel and mistreating its own citizens and those of its neighboring countries. November 2012 will be a month to remember for the Israeli defense forces and internet security forces. We will strike any and all websites that we deem to be in Israeli Cyberspace in retaliation for the mistreating of people in Gaza and other areas. Anonymous has been watching you, and you have received fair warning of our intent to seize control of your cyberspace in accordance with basic humanitarian rights of free speech and the right to live. As of 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time, the number of attacked Israeli websites is approximately 10,000. The further assault on the people of Gaza, people of Palestine or any other group will be treated as a violation of the Anonymous Collectives intent to protect the people of the World. Israel, it is in your best interest to cease and desist any further military action or your consequence will become worse with each passing hour. This is a message from Anonymous Op Israel, Danger Hackers, Anonymous Special Operations and the Anonymous Collective of the entire planet. We will treat each additional death as a personal attack on Anonymous and you will be dealt with swiftly and without warning. Our hearts are with the women, children and families that are suffering at this very moment, as a direct result of the Israeli Governments misuse of its military. Brothers and sisters of Anonymous, we urge you to protest the Israeli Government and any associated hostile forces. Now is the time for anonymous to help the people that are hurting. Help the people that are being taken advantage of. Help the ones that are dying and it will further the collective as a whole and we can help bring a peace within the Gaza region to those people that so desperately need it. We call on the Anonymous Collective to hack, deface, docks, hijack, database leak, admin takeover, four oh four and DNS terminate the Israeli Cyberspace by any means necessary. To the Israeli Government, Anonymous has grown tired of your bullying, and now you will see the result of your actions. Cyber war has been declared on Israel cyber space and you will see exactly what we are capable of. Israel, the angel of death has been called to your cyberspace. We are Anonymous. We are legion. Expect us and Respect us. (VIDEO)

► Massive Israeli Strike-back on Gaza Strip (Disturbing Video). Published on Nov 15, 2012 by TheYoungTurks - Israeli aircraft, tanks and naval gunboats pounded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Thursday and rocket salvoes thudded into southern Israel, as terrified residents on both sides of the frontier holed up at home in anticipation of heavy fighting on the second day of Israel's offensive against Islamic militants. The operation, launched in response to days of rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, kicked off with the assassination of Hamas' top military commander and deepened the instability gripping the Mideast. Israel's already strained relations with Egypt's new Islamist government frayed even further as Egypt recalled its ambassador Wednesday in response to the Israeli military operation.  Just days earlier, Israel was drawn into Syria's civil war for the first time, firing missiles into its northern neighbor for the first time in four decades after stray mortar fire landed in Israeli-occupied Syrian territory. Cenk Uygur provides an in-depth analysis about the disproportionate strike back against Hamas, "collateral damage," and U.S. attitudes toward Israelis and Palestinians.  (VIDEO).

► Israel vs Palestine. Published on Mar 5, 2012 by 711Rene - For decades, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has raged on in the Middle East. "Shape of the Future" takes a look at opinions on both sides of the conflict, and discovers a surprisingly similar set of solutions proposed by the people most affected by the conflict. This film is unique in that it looks ahead in a positive direction, rather than focusing on the negative events of the past. "Shape of the Future" made headlines when it was aired simultaneously in Israel, the Palestinian territories and other Arab countries.

► Dirty War - Israel/Palestine. Uploaded by journeymanpictures on Sep 5, 2007. April 2002 : A look at the Palestinian suicide bombers. Strapped with explosives, Izzedine Masri left his affluent home near Jenin to blow himself up in Jerusalem -- killing 15 Israeli civilians. It's not too hard to find others who want to follow his example." Many young men seek this martyrdom because it's accepted by God and has no judgement", says one young man. Israel's attempts to hit back harder have only served to deepen resistance and unite the Palestinian factions. "Fatah, Al-Kassam Brigades and Islamic Jihad are united, and have pledged to avenge the martyrs blood," yells one hooded gunmen at a Hamas rally. But much of the popular anger is reserved for the Palestinians who betray the cause and work with the Israeli secret service -- the Shin Bet. "The state of Israel could not have existed and would not be able to exist without these collaborators," says Rami Barhm. Secret video footage shows the gruesome execution of a Hamas collaborator. The information he provided to the Shin Bet led to the death of two of his colleagues. Senior Shin Bet officer, Moshe Kuperburg was in charge of recruiting Palestinian agents and collaborators. "Intelligence is the most important thing because it feeds the military and the government." He claims they have Palestinian spies in the senior leadership of every Palestinian faction. Rare pictures from the security service's own website show agents working undercover, immersing themselves in Palestinian communities. However, there is widespread criticism of their recruitment methods. "Israel pressure Palestinians to collaborate, both in torture and interrrogations," comments Jessica Montell, of human rights group B'Tselem.

► Inside Story - Will military action end DR Congo crisis? Published on Nov 21, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish -After weeks of intense fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, M23 rebels say they have taken control of parts of Goma, one of the main cities in the mineral-rich region. The Congolese government, on Monday, rejected an ultimatum to open talks with M23. This came after the rebels gave the government 24 hours to withdraw troops and open direct negotiations before they said they would advance on Goma. So, why does the DR Congo government refuse to hold talks with the rebel soldiers? And is military action really the answer to this conflict? (VIDEO)



► Inside Story - Can military action fix DR Congo's conflict? Published on Aug 8, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish - The M23 rebel group is establishing its own administration, complete with ministers, committees and local councils in eastern DR Congo in a bid to present itself as a new type of Congolese army -- as a stabilising and liberating force. At the same time eastern and central African nations have agreed to deploy a joint force to handle the escalating crisis. Is military action the best fix?

(If within 1-3 days since this post was published we saw they had reconciled, we should not be surprised. That's how they are.

If we truly want peace, we should not take sides on one of them, but rather on all efforts to achieve the peace.

If it is not yet achieved today, maybe tomorrow. And tomorrow again, and again ...

My biggest dream in the whole year is to see Israel and the Palestine will shake hands with each other and eventually they are able to feel the sense of brotherhood.

Rohingya - The Forgotten People. Published on Aug 10, 2012 by WeAreHelpOrg :They are branded as one of the most persecuted communities in the world by the UN, yet nobody knows their name. They are the forgotten people. In recent weeks, the escalating violence has displaced more than 90,000 Rohingya people. Villages are being burnt, people are being abducted, concentration camps are being created, women are being raped and children mercilessly killed. The persecution against the Rohingya can be described in no other terms but that of ethnic cleansing and genocide. || Rohingya: the world's most forgotten people. Published on Jul 22, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish : This is what the Bangladeshi authorities don't want you to see: 300,000 Muslim Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in makeshift camps alone the Bangladesh border. Officially, Bangladeshi authorities do not recognise their existence, but in reality Rohingyas are tolerated and are known as unregistered refugees. Al Jazeera's Nicolas Hague reports



The Forgotten People - Burma. Published on Jul 3, 2007 by journeymanpictures || Black Friday Massacre - Burma. Uploaded by journeymanpictures on Sep 27, 2007 : April 2004 What really happened the night that Aung Sang Suu Kyi was arrested? Did the military try to kill her? A crowd of cheering people stretch as far as the eye can see. As these pictures show, despite spending most of the last 14 years in detention, Aung Sang Suu Kyi still commands the support of her people. But a few days later, her convoy was attacked by government backed thugs, leaving dozens dead. "The situation was very chaotic and frightening," confides Suu Kyi's bodyguard, Khin Oo. He recalls seeing Suu Kyi being attacked by men wielding sticks. "She was injured on her left shoulder and the left side of her neck." Many of her supporters feared she would be killed. "The security group were shouting 'Drive Away' but instead of running, I heard her say 'How can I run when people are being beaten?'" Khin recalls. But her driver had other ideas. As he whisked her away, eyewitness Naing Naing recalls hearing: "a voice giving orders to fire." Ten to fifteen gunshots were then fired at Suu Kyi's car, narrowly missing. "It was definitely the military," states Naing Naing. "It was meant to kill our leader." After the massacre, the generals took to the world's stage rejecting calls they were responsible. But, nearly a year on, Suu Kyi remains under house arrest. And the future of Burma looks as bleak as ever.

(Nov. 19) || Raw: President Joins Democracy Leader in Myanmar.  Published on Nov 18, 2012 by AssociatedPress : President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with democracy activist and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, at the start of the President's landmark visit to the long-isolated nation of Myanmar. (Nov. 19)



Blah,... what am I looking at? Dear Mrs Suu Kyi,... out here, we do not need that smile and small talk in welcoming the visit. In there, your neutral stance in the massacre of Muslim Rohingya must be questioned because of your position as a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and you also had experienced the intimidation and persecution by the military junta. Supposedly, all of your goals is to uphold human rights and support democracy. But why are you silent when confronted with the internal race like this? It is no exaggeration if I suspect you are applying a double standard. It seems the human rights for you is only valid for people outside of Muslim, but not for Muslims. Aung San Suu Kyi, you are not a pure democracy fighter.

ehehehe ... I feel I am quite familiar with the characteristics such brotherhood. This is a typical eastern style. And I still have a bunch of funny anecdotes about Arabs. I could not tell it here, I was just saying to my partner. When he heard me chattering about Arabs, he could not help but burst out laughing. Then he felt no reason to hate the Arabs. He said they actually were funny people.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."
