To the Palestinians, Americans, and to All
BY : Omar Karem gaza city, Palestine
For the last two years, I have been learning about what has been happening and is still happening in Palestine and I am extremely sad, angry, disappointed, and yet blessed at the same time. My blessings come from my friends in Palestine that have given me nothing but love and taught me how to be brave and remain strong, no matter what happens in life. The pain, mental anguish, frustration, humiliation and sorrow they go through, on a daily basis, sits in my heart and won’t leave, and yet they remain steadfast. This Friday, on March 30, 2012, I will begin a hunger strike for the Palestinians. As long as they are suffering, my spirit cannot rest. Americans, if you are not educated on what is really happening there, ask a Palestinian. Then you will discover just how special they are.
To all Palestinians, there is a connection that I have with you, that cannot be explained. I have decided to go on this hunger strike because I cannot sit here and do nothing. I want the suffering you endure to end, for justice to be served, and for you to know, that there are Americans that love you and will not rest until you are safe. I have also decided to go on this hunger strike for Hana Shalabi. When I learned that Hana was re-arrested and on a hunger strike, it was as if her call out for justice and freedom, along with her kind spirit, went straight through my heart. I am sorry and ashamed of how my government has ignored your cry for help. Let us hope and pray they will listen and stop supporting the Israeli government, while they constantly violate international human rights laws. I am also sorry that I was not aware of what has been happening there. Please forgive me. Now, I am aware and hear you.

الى الشعب الفلسطيني, الشعب الامريكي والى الجميع
منذ عامين وانا اتعلم حيال ما ما كان وما زال يحدث في فلسطين مما جعلني حزينة للغاية, مثبطة العزم. ولكن سعيدة في نفس الوقت. سعادتي تتأتى من اصدقائي القلسطينين الذين لم يمنحوني شيئ سوى الحب وتعليمهم لي كيف اكون شجاعة وابقى قوية في ظل كل ما يحدث لي في الحياة. ان الحزن والاذلال والاحباط والعذاب العقلي والالم الذي يمر بهن الشعب الفلسطيني بشكل يومي يكتمون على انفاسي ويأبون مغادرتي, بل ينمون بشكل ثابت. هذه الجمعة, في يوم 30 من مارس 2012, سوف ابدأ اضرابي عن الطعام من اجل الفلسطينين, ولن تهدأ روحي ابدا طالما تستمر معاناتهم. أيها الامريكيون , ان لم تكونوا مدركين لما يحدث هنالك. اسألوا فلسطينيا, حينئذ سوف تكتشفون كم هم مميزون.
الى جميع الفلسطينين, هنالك رابط بيني وبينكم لا يمكن وصفه. وانني لقررت ان اخوض هذا الاضراب عن الطعام لانني لا استطيع ان اجلس هنا من دون عمل شيئ. انا اريد ان تنتهي معناتكم التي تحملون, اريد العدالة ان تسود, وان هنالك اناس امريكان يحبونكم ولن يهدأون حتى تنعموا بالامان. وانا ايضا قررت ان اخوض هذا الاضراب عن الطعام من اجل هناء شلبي. عندما علمت ان هناء قد تم اعتقالها للمر الثانية وهي الان في اضرابها عن الطعام, فانني قد شعرت كما لو انها تصرخ من اجل الحرية والعدالة بروحها الطيبة
لتغمر قلبي. انني اسفة وخجولة من الكيفية التي تتجاهل فيها جكومتي لصرختكم المطالبة بانقاذكم.

We have invented the most powerful flying machine, the smallest medical devices, the most dangerous weapon we can imagine and being so advance technologically we still can not comprehend in its entirely our humanity, but we are trying, little by little we understand more and more of us, our world become so important that we feel the necessity of help in the restoration and the unification of our human family.
What make us humans we ask ourselves? The Soul?, our Heart?, our feelings? what really do we have inside our bodies that make us compassionate or despicable beings? Does all the human beings are able to FEEL?. The Most Power Weapon Our Humanity.
