Kiitos kaikille faneille jotka ootte tullut tänne *halit*

Last night I was talking to my other friend in Gaza and suddenly he said he hears planes everywhere and a big shell and then his msn went offline. I haven't got a word from him since! His friend wrote to the forum that he has no longer windows in his home, one bomb was so close.
Also the Islamic Uni or what was left of it got hit again last night and the fire department headquarters and ministry building too.

I just hope my friends are ok there, I wish to hear from them?!

My friend is alive!

Last night my friend left her home suddenly, near by was 5 bombings and she had to flee.
My night went in thinking, I slept so badly!
This morning I were so happy to see her online in msn again! She was ok and the bombing had been the Islamic Univercity which had been destroyed last night.
This time has been very stressfull for me to try to find the news and information about the situation and constantly read diffrent forums and sites to know the casualtys as early as possible. And ofcourse thinking about the people I know; are they ok, alive, how is their homes and familys? Are they scared? How they manage to survive this in a small place like Gaza? How is the children doing in Gaza? And how will the people who lost their loved ones survive after this?
From a forum where I am as a member is updates and there is written that almost a missile per minute, that was last night. Must have been a scary night to try to sleep.
I can't even imagine!

Talking to Gaza..
I am talking to Gaza as we speak and my friend there told me that the electricity has been cut off from her house for three days and is now on maybe til 12 pm. The schools and universitys has not been open. Air raids, missiles, bombing and shelling goes on all the time.
My 2 other friends have both lost their cousin.
Many mosques has been destroyed, hundreds of houses and many other buildings.

Electricity situation is very very bad and ofcourse everything else too.

I think I will stay up this night and try to see what is happening there.

My prayers with Gaza and Palestine

Gaza today: 'This is only the beginning'
By Ewa Jasiewicz

As I write this, Israeli jets are bombing the areas of Zeitoun and Rimal
in central Gaza City. The family I am staying with has moved into the
internal corridor of their home to shelter from the bombing. The windows
nearly blew out just five minutes ago as a massive explosion rocked the
house. Apache’s are hovering above us, whilst F16s sear overhead.

Israel keep punishing the whole nation of Palestine for resisting Israel's humanrights crimes.
Israel broke the truce by invadin Gaza and killing many people and braking many homes etc. and for response some resistance groups launched few rockets to israel but not hitting anyone. For this Israel shut all border crossings and is trying to starve and keep Plaestine in the dark now.

Candle light
Gaza has electricity about 6 hours per day.

The rest of the day is total blackout.

Gaza survives in total darkness.

Darkness from the light.

Darkness from the world.

Darkness from the hearts.

I want You to think about that. Try to imagine life without electricity.

news: Delaying our Trip to Gaza

We, the members of the Free Gaza Movement, regret to announce a delay in our plans to return to Gaza this week. Last month, 44 ordinary people challenged Israel's stranglehold on the Gaza Strip, knowing that ordinary people can help create extraordinary change.

People said that it could not be done; we did it.

This week 22 of us came to Cyprus to fulfill our promise to return to Gaza. Because our two original boats were not suitable for this trip, we decided to lease or buy a sturdier boat. Unfortunately, every time we thought we reached an agreement with a boat owner, our agreement has fallen through, in part, we believe, due to outside pressure. Though it is a very difficult decision to make, we have decided to temporarily delay our voyage.
When we left Gaza at the end of August, we made promises to the people there: we will continue to tell the world that Israel still unjustly occupies Gaza; we will continue to support

How is Palestine today?
I sat down to my computer this morning and start to search news from Palestine.
In Gaza things are going pretty good I think, but in the West Bank the detaining of the people continue.. I don't think they all have done anything to be a threat

to Israelis security, or maybe they have done some minor things; like saying word freedom outloud or something as silly as that. It could be enough reason for them to prisonise someone. That seems to be their hobby there now.
Nobody is safe, they could come and take who ever they want without any propper reason.
Life in West Bank is life on the edge.
You never know whos gonna fall next.

Black autumn

Autumn has come to Finland, all tree leafs are turning yellow, red and brown. When I look out from my livingroom window all I see is black and I think of my friend in West Bank, how black has her life turned now.. I wonder if she is ever going to live a free life, is any of my Palestinian friends ever going to live a free life? A life where you can go out safely or go to work without roadblocks. Our life is so easy here. Just sitting in our livingrooms watching tv or playing games. No worries about our lives or our living.
Just sitting and watching how life goes by. Without any risks or threats..
