Nayfeh Abu Musa'ed was a Palestinian woman. 25 years old. Shot with two bullets to the shoulder and heart by Israeli occupation soldiers at a military post in Deer el Balah. The Israeli spokesman said that Nayfeh died of shock when the soldiers fired warning shots in the air when they noticed she was too close to the "security" (whose security?) border between Gaza and Israel. The spokesman didn't bother to explain how she had two bullets in her; after all those Palestinians are weird.
I don't know Nayfeh Abu Musa'ed. I will probably never know more about her (Did she have kids? Was she out for a walk or coming back from work? Didn't she know that borders kill? What color eyes did she have? Did she love the sea?)
The Palestinian media is lousy when it comes to personalizing the dead and injured. They become numbers. The excuse is that there are two many. Can't keep up. All I know is that it is not right. Even in this report, her story is buried in another story: of a more militaristic confrontation between Palestinian groups and Israeli soldiers. She wasn't involved in that. At least give her her own news story. She's news enough for me.

Make your peace with Israel. It is higly time to stop all the crime. Start now an begin with yourself. Work for peace and not for hate. Before you blame others, blame yourself. Start with your religion before you blame others. Clear enough?
Any good news in your blog here? Do you not work for a better world? change that. Today.
Truly said, for me its a shame to be Arab and more to be muslim.
that shame you feel about being Arab and Muslim--isn't that hate? seems to me you need to conclude some peace treaties yourself. Or is that hatred of Arabs and Muslims not hate but a world peace message?
The only thing I really truly hate (and I challenge you to find anything to the contrary on this blog is injustice.
