so you say you care.

tak lama before, there was this Joseph Kony video that went viral. it was about this dude in Uganda taking children as his 'slaves'.
the video: here.

i watched the video, i felt sorry for the people there, but mostly, i admire the founder of invisiblechildren.org ni. i find him very passionate and consistent with his goal: to capture Joseph K. (amboi glamour dah nama. ahak!)
anyway, after watching the video, i felt very low about myself.

orang orang kita yang needed our help and deserves our attention.. i forgotten about them.
those people in Palestine yang tak habis habis till today can't have peace because of the attacks that comes without warning.. and they have no where to go! their lands are stolen!! forcefully taken by the israelis! and we here, duk lenggang goyang kaki, tengok movie makan popcorn, duk gi event sana sini.. astaghfirullahalazim..

i remember when Gaza strip was terrorised by the israelis..
what did i do then?
i changed my profile picture in facebook and donated beberapa ringgit. that's it. and that was years ago!
what impact have i made by doing that??
setakat tukar profile pic and then donate bila nampak tabung for Palestine. tu pun donate bila rasa ada duit lebih je! support la sangat =/

MALU OK. MALU.

bukan malu sebab kedekut ke apa. malu sebab i wasn't as dedicated as jason (the one in joseph kony video), malu sebab i tak istiqamah, malu sebab i didn't EDUCATE myself about the issue!

after how long i've questioned myself about how i can contribute, alhamdulillah Lyna told me about a talk to be held in cucms (med school in cyberjaya) about Palestine and getting our facts right by Prof Madya Dr Hafidzi Mohd Nor, Pengerusi of Aqsa Syarif.
it was a brief talk, but i cried buckets.




"if i can stomach 1.5hours watching stupid chickflicks, hantu bonceng yang entahpape tu, or matsalleh movies yang banyak maksiat tu kat movies yang takde benefits at all, why can't i spend that time watching this video?" - i questioned myself. imagine if it was me there, and if my child was killed. nauzubillah.. i admire the kids in this video too. no grudges, no hatred.. want to be a doctor to treat the injured.. *nangis* Ya Allah.. protect them..

so i urge you (yang reading this, thank you btw) to just watch and question yourself; what have you done to help?

this is not just a religious war, this is a fight for human rights!
no one deserves to be kicked out from their houses! no children deserves to be killed the way these children were! no one has the right to use deadly weapons on people who can't protect themselves against it!

the israelis have crossed the line.
we have to get ourselves educated and do something about this. stand up for what's right!

to contribute doesn't mean giving money, but if you can, be a volunteer, help spread the word, up to you. selagi mampu, jom tolong =)

get to know these organizations that have been dedicated for this cause:

Aqsa Syarif

Viva Palestina Malaysia

they have facebook pages too. Aqsa Syarif offices are all over Malaysia, fyi.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!!

ps: please let me know if you have anymore information sebab obviously, i noob. =) thank you!
pps: "so you say you care. tell me how much you know about the sufferings of the palestinians." - insert meme. this was what i thought about myself when i was at the talk. yes, being sarcastic to myself seems to give me more drive to get my arse moving.
