Think what you will of Hezbollah or Israel, but for once, in media, with sheer honesty and straightforwardness, without political games, a person is given\taking the opportunity to speak a few honest cents about media broadcasting of the long ongoing conflict in the Middle East and although I don't support killing of civilians of any kind, no matter what, there is a constant silence when it comes to Israel, as a state (I remind you, a state!), massmurdering civilians, all in the name of justice.
George Galloway, thank you for speaking your mind, and for saying to Anna, the Sky News reporter " It is clear that Israeli blood is worth more...".
It is one of the biggest truths of the past century and it looks like it will be for a long time.

It takes balls to speak the way Galloway spoke, sadly there are not more people speaking out against the injustice being done.
I, too, am glad that Galloway speaks the straight truth like he does. We need to hear it, just like the Lebanese need a life free of Israeli aggression. Shame on all of us for not speaking out. Shame on my country for creating this situation. Shame on those who perpetuate murderous ignorance. Shame on those who choose the crooked path to Jehennum. Words fail. I live my privileged life without thinking about any of this more than abstractly, when in Lebanon bombs that I have paid for with my tax dollars fall on innocents.
May God have mercy on all of us. Astagfirullah.

Welcome James!
I think there are few governments in the world where one can feel safe with regards to where ones tax money goes. The world and its governments feed on the weak, whether it is through supporting child labour, prostitution or other forms of human exploitation, or wars and downright opressive actions and murder.
At the end of the day, a people makes a country but not its government.
Let us all pray for those whose hearts have died, and hope they will wake up before it really is too late. And above all, let us pray that we do not ever transgress the rights of others for we are all human and all have the potential to do good and bad...
i wouldnt be surprised if lebanese people think that lebanese blood is worth more. or that brittons think the same about brittish blood. or finns about finnish blood .
if its not so then i do not understand why every country arranged evacuation for their own citizens from lebanon when the war started ?
in its simplicity it is so stupid. nation- and groupthinking (of religious, traditional, cultural, geographical reasons) makes all this happen. few are the people on this planet who sees the humans around him (or her) as the brothers and sistrens they really are, and even fewer who FEELS it in their hearts...
peace, love and understanding from stockholm sweden.
jah bless ya all
rootsman, a very valid and indeed true point you have raised. Welcome, by the way :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. Ha det bra!
Salams James!
We are all biased in one way or another. But we are not all unjust or unfair.
The music is indeed Celtic. It is absolutely breathtaking and the artist is Liz Carroll.
I love music. I find spirituality and divinely inspired emotions in certain types of music.
Since man arrived on this planet music has been part of his life. People's of Africa, South America and the beautiful Emerald island have all produced fantastic music inspired by the nature around them. Nature to me is part of godliness. God is all things beautiful and He loves beauty. (Inn'Allaha jameel wa yohibbo'l jimaal)
There are differences of opinion regarding music so there is no need to excuse oneself for appreciating a song that clearly has no negative motive in its text or tune.
If you can't find the song do let me know.
All the best :)
Oh and, what do you teach if I may ask?
Fascinating james, where did you learn about edible plants and medicinal plants?
Well congrats on your graduation and good luck with the 5th graders. I am sure you will have your hands full!
May I ask, simply out of curiosity, how did you stumble upon my blog? :)
You are lucky to have such a mother.
Thinking of Sarajevo ey? That is what I have been doing for a while which led me to travel to Bosnia last month. I wanted to see it for myself. I wanted to try understand what had happened. I strongly recommend going to Bosnia. It is a beautiful country but it will move you in many ways...
I will be updating with more posts from Bosnia.
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it » »
