“Miko Peled is a peace activist who dares to say in public what others still choose to deny "                     Miko Peled (born 1961 in Jerusalem ) is an Israeli peace activist. His father Mattityahu Peled  was a General  in the Israeli Army and "a member of the Knesset who often expressed controversial views considered 'extreme left' in Israeli terms", who was also described as "a radical peace activist". Miko  Like his father,  Peled is an advocate for an end to the occupation of Palestine. As an Israeli, he offers an insider's perspective on just how far Israel has strayed from its  democratic principles, and how it has created a society marred by racism and indifference to the suffering of others. His observations are now collected in a book, "The General's Son: The Journey of an Israeli in Palestine." In this segment,  Miko Peled tells of his experiences as a young soldier in the Israeli army. He d

Here is his  life story    “Oh God! If you save me I will work for you.”         Here are some amazing songs & their  Lyrics :)        Morning has broken  : Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the word Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall, on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light, Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new day Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the word       The Beloved  : His wisdom flowed from heaven's book Just like threaded pearls, Just like threaded pea

Until I see you... By Ammar AlShukry You're the best person I've ever known, the best friend I've never met Your sincerity to me is blinding enough to completely canvas the world around me with drapes that read, respect, honor, focus, protect.. and leaving a window so that I can zoom in on the important things, and yet those are the things that I forget, or neglect, ...I will do better. Your Ummah is fine, not because of me or mine, or wounds that heal with time, those who'd die for a dollar sign, but because of promises divine, and so when we feel that we're at our worst, and our sadness would cause our hearts to burst, it feels like there are times, when there are angels within our lines. Or maybe hovering over squares, with chants of freedom in the air, And though tyrants step on our necks We smile...for history has always been on our side.. Yours is an Ummah that simply doesn't die.. I'm sorry for my weakness. For every time I'

'Ten big media lies' about Israel

 I read this  & it's very informative & simple :) Michel Collon, a Belgian journalist and author, in his book "Israel, let's talk about it," has slammed European media over decades of "lying" to people in order to support Israel. Collon, in his book, has recounted "10 big lies" spread by Western media in order to "justify the existence and actions of Israel", which are concisely presented below: 1. The first lie is that Israel was established in reaction to the massacre of Jews during the World War II. This notion is completely wrong. Israel is in fact a domineering project which was approved in the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, in 1897, when nationalist Jews decided to occupy Palestine. 2. The second justification for establishing and legitimizing Israel is that the Jews are returning to their forefathers' land, from where they had been driven away in 70 A.D. This is a tale. I have spoken to the famous Is
