A colorless occasion...


Once again, in the middle of all the darkness that our country is going through, a new occasion for the Syrians to celebrate and act as if nothing wrong surrounding their future and the future of their country. They are trying to add their own colors to these colorless days.


It's the first Eid for me away from home and my beloved ones. I have lost track of days and occasions that used to mean a lot to me, but an Eid, without a family to sit with in the morning and have coffee with before going to buy some sheep and have them accordinally distributed, is not an Eid.

Adha Moubarak and happy Eid everybody, not for me anyway!

Try to be more optimistic.
Even if the country is in the middle of all this darkness it doesn't mean that the people should wear black and moan.
Its Eid for Gods sake.
Live and let live.

Hey Natasha,

I really doubt that there is still anybody out there who believes that Israel does not exist! They are ways behind that. It's not about existance anymore, it's about co-existance between Palestinians and Isaelis, not in Israel, but in both Israel and Palestine!

When you read "Palestine", people mean the part of land where Palestinians live on, not Israel!

and when we talk about the co-existence, both sides have the same problem with it! Would be mistaken if I think that any of them is being tolarent while the other is not! However, Palestinians are the weaker side of the equation, aren't they?

Hey,

Ihsan you are really full of shit buddy.
Co-existance Ha.
Who the hell do you think you are.
We all know how many palestinians die every single day and now you are kissing natasha s ass.
Don't you have morals.
We refuse to recognize that Israel exists, come on they don't even want us to exist.
Oh but i see now that you are out of your country, its ok to just sit on your butt and lecture us.
Well have a nice time kissing asses.

For the last 3 comments:

The concept of "throwing the Jews into the sea" has proven to be total stupidity and same for those who embrace it (i.e. you!).

Both sides are refusing to co-exist; both would want to eliminate the other! The Palestinians are being killed, because they are, as stated earlier, the weaker part. Give them what the Israelis have, things would turn around and won’t get any better! Israel is a FACT whether we like it or not.

No one is throwing the jews in the see.
We all want to live in peace.But most of the palestinians are getting killed.Men, women even children. we are the weaker ones. but you cannot say that if we had the power we would do the same.
I don't believe in violence and most people want peace and to live safely.
Not all of us are stupid.

You are so convincing.
Yes, what if it was the other way round. Palestinians would throw the jews in the sea.
But you feel relaxed to know that it is not.
So the message here is "Palestinians You Better learn how to swim because some of us think that you are better off in the sea"
