What is going on here!?!?

The last few days were horrible.
I haven't thought that things can go so far.
How did we end this way??

Is there something in the water of Gaza that makes my brothers kill each other? I can understand that there is a difference in our believes! But how did we end with 30 Muslims dead !? have we forgotten how precious life is?
I feel absolutely hopeless and helpless, as if there is nothing I can do.
Can anyone stop this violence? People are dying without any reason just because of our hamas government! I feel as if This situation cannot go on! We cannot continue this way.

Watch these poor girls, shouting their anger!

They ask: "why the murder? Why security problems?"
I wish I could do something for my brothers in gaza and help them stop the murder!

I would like to show you all what was going on here, un my beloved city, while Gaza became a battle field:


For those who don’t understand Arabic, the sign asks "w-h-y???"
I also ask why, I hope someone from hamas can help me understand why!
Why 30 people had to die??
Why hamas continue to rule?!?!

I decided to open a new section in my blog, THE CLIPS SECTION.
I will try to find interesting clips,
The clips section is located in the right bar of my blog.


Enjoy,
Asad al nimr.

Some things are stuck!!!

Good morning everyone,

The traffic jams in ramallah are unbearable, and especially in the square.
This is a result of the many "bastat" (peddlers selling their merchandise on the street) that have opened in the almanara square area.
The new "shops" are located side by side, and they are hiding the true nature of the square!
Because of those small "shops" which are located on the pavements, many people need to walk on the road near the vehicles!
The streets in ramallah need some rebuilding!Because they look so old and cracked..

But not only the traffic is stuck, the political and economical situation is also stuck!!!

And as for my cousin, his condition is getting better! I am so happy that he is ok for now. My family was so worried that he wouldn’t survive, but alhamdu-lillah he is better!

May this week bring only better days!

Asad al nimr.

Depression and death.
Those are the 2 main things that symbolizes the past few days.
I have no words to describe what is going on in almanara square since Thursday.
It is a chaos!






We all want to live in dignity and respect!
I really can't see where we are heading to! We need to be united against the Israeli aggression!
I hope that the Israeli army will stay outside ramallah! One of my cosines have been injured from the Israeli army, I became so depressed because of that.


I visited him twice yesterday, but his condition is still bad.
I hope he will be better and he will heal as soon as possible. 6 people have died from this disastrous incident! These bloody Israelis think they can come whenever they feel like, and destroy everything we have built in here.
I really ask myself where are we heading to? Is 2007 will be good or might it bring more fights and more damage..?
I hope that in 2007 we will be more united, may we all act as brothers (no more fitna incidents!),
2006 only brought damage for us, and it was a harmful year for us! May hamas understand that a fitna incident that occurs in the Palestinian authority is a result of their policy!


I wish that in 2007, we will not see the Israeli worthless army!

وكل عام وانتم بخير

الحمد الله

There is a new academy institute in ramallah, the "International Academy of Art in Palestine".
It sounds as if I can really improve my skills out there, and I think ill be more then happy to get some more explanations and lessons about cameras and shooting photos.
I heard that some of the students will get scholarships from the Norway government, these scholarships would help those who have no money for the academy studies, and still, they would be able to learn and have their first degree!
Eventually, Palestine would have many more universities and academic institutes!
ART is my future!
And I really hope I'd be able to apply to some lessons in this fine institute.But the most important thing about this place, is that its the first positive thing that takes place in ramallah upon the last couple of weeks!!!I found a picture that shows the bright side of ramallah, and i'd like you all to see it:


I really wish that in this holiday the streets will be full of cheerful people, who'd have some peace and confidence to walk in the streets all day long, without seeing fitna incidents!
Maybe Hamas people would join this institute, and suddenly they won't be so violent towards the poor people who have no guns??
In the last few days, everyone are speaking about our prisoners!
Maybe they will be free!! I hope so!
This will bring the quietness back into the streets! I really hope that aid aladha will be a quiet one..

وكل عام وانتم بخير!!
and may all my friends have a happy new year.

Asad.
