The ICJ, presided by a Chinese lawyer, has ruled against the separating fence in Israel ? But was the famous Great Wall of China not built for defensive purposes too ? It was indeed built to protect the State of Chin against the Tsongnoo tribes coming from the North. The logical consequence of the ICJ ruling: take away the Great Wall of China too...

Dear Sisters/Brothers in Humanity:

When your anger, hatred, and desire for revenge reaches a breaking point. Ponder, try taking off the invisible garment of nationality (an Israeli or a Palestininian), underneath, there is a garment of ethnicity(a Jew or an Arab),take that garment off, and another one of religion lies beneath,(that of Judiasm or Islam), remove that garment, therein lies a creature made of skin, bones, and flesh, destroy this reality and what you have done is destroyed a HUMAN. Yes, beneath it all, we all belong to the human family. We suffer pain, bleed, and cry the same. When our children, our elders, our young die, we Grieve the same. Ponder, Cogitate, and Weep for a dying friend or an enemy, they are all part of us: The Human Family. As Shakespeare would have said; Sans Nation, Sans Faith, Sans Ideology, Sans Race...The Wisest of the Creation, sometimes acts like a fool; when will we ever learn?

Shalom, Salaam, Peace,and Love to All,

Khalid
