I Only Have You

"I am an old man," Nasser Abu Said says, 37-years old, "to me it is no longer important, but what about my children? Don’t they have the right to life, the right to grow up in safety and with some joy?"

(GAZA) - "I only have you to count on. From now on, my children depend on you ". This is the desperate call of a man who sees no way out for himself and his children, and we ISM members who came to his phone call, receive it in helpless silence.

It is not the first time that we visit this family, and every time we go home more horrified.

The Egyptian Blockade of Gaza - March 4, 2011 March to Gaza

To everybody who knows injustice, everybody who knows tyranny, we are all brothers and sisters with the people of Palestine. Let us act like it!

(GAZA) - Egyptians have just shed their puppet dictator; they rendered his weapons and henchmen impotent. We can now remove one of the most shameful policies of this dictator.

I say shame on us all if we do not march on Gaza with significant numbers. If our lives or the lives of our loved ones depended on it, we would mobilize by the thousands. Just consider the global family as one, for a moment.

Mubarak Regime Orchestrated the Church Blast to Please USA and Israel

This uprising in Egypt has exposed the fallacy of a lot of arguments and political convictions and at the same time revealed new surprising findings.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - As I was driving my car along the famed corniche of the historic city of Alexandria to join the march calling for Mubarak to step down last week I kept looking- or gazing if you like- at the nearly empty streets.

Except for scattered armed vehicles and tanks squatted beneath the silent buildings on the side of the road and it seemed as if I was driving across a deserted city and not the never go to sleep 5 millions dwellers-city I used to know.

US Duplicity in Egypt

Time will tell how this will play out, but make no mistake about it, we will do our very best to insure it is not good for the Egyptian people nor the American public.

(JAMESTOWN, R.I.) - While extolling democracy the Obama administration tiptoed through the struggle for democracy in Egypt trying not to offend anyone, but creating the appearance of supporting dictatorship in Egypt.

He justified his lack of action by saying we did not want to interfere in Egyptian affairs, a specious argument because the US has been interfering for the past thirty years by propping up Mubarak and his military.

NEW Message from Mordechai Vanunu

Israel's nuclear whistleblower discusses Egypt and the future.

(CLERMONT Fla.) - On the 13th day of February 2011, Mordechai Vanunu posted this message on my YouTube Channel:

The Martial Laws of Egypt from 1981 going to be removed very soon,Now is your time to demand from israel to end its martial laws from 1948 to be removed,and give us freedom of speech and freedom of movemewnt,they have no more any justifications,after Egypt Revolution of 2011.

Will Democracy in Egypt Benefit the Palestinians?

Unless a majority of Israelis are beyond reason, that could be a game changer which would benefit the region and the whole world, not only the Palestinians.

(LONDON) - For decades, and despite much rhetoric to the contrary, American-led Western policy has been to prefer Arab dictatorship to Arab democracy. This preference was determined by two main assessments.

One was that corrupt and repressive Arab regimes were the best possible guarantee that oil would continue to flow at prices acceptable to the West, and, that there would be almost no limits to the amount of weapons that could be sold to the most wealthy Arab states.

Gaza`s Egyptian Hope

The people of Gaza would not be the people of Gaza if they let this undermine their joy and their will to survive.

(GAZA) - When the news from the overthrow of Mubarak came through, the people of Gaza flowed joyously into the streets.

They celebrate the victory, they celebrate the Egyptian revolution, which has become the symbol of their own ambitions.

Egyptian Peoples Victory is Cause for Celebration in Gaza

Gazans, with so many challenges for their own party, were in a state of jubilation; car horns honking, flags waving, children chanting "peace!"

(GAZA) - There should be little surprise that celebrations in Gaza were held for the the Egyptian people's victory in the 2011 Global Revolution. Who knows more about the need for liberation than the 1.5 million residents of Gaza who live in an open-air prison cut off from even the most basic human needs.

The Bangles Hit `Walk Like an Egyptian` Meets` Lotus Revolution

Today, proudly, we are all Egyptian.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The Bangles might not have ever considered that their 1986 hit song 'Walk Like an Egyptian' would today, in 2011, take on the tone and role of a ballad for a people's movement of epic proportions.

Cairo and Jerusalem

The Egyptians masses were, no doubt, the best possible ambassadors for Islam and Salaam.

(LONDON) - "It was the moral force of non-violence” stated President Obama in his first comment on the revolution in Egypt. Yet it is far from being clear who was the Egyptian Mandela, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King?
