A day of joy???

250 of our brothers will be released tomorrow from the Israeli jail! There is no doubt that tomorrow will be a happy day for the 250 families, who will get their fathers and brothers back to where they should be.. at their homes.

BUT IS IT REALLY A HAPPY DAY ??

Can we forget all the other prisoners? There are still thousands of prisoners in Israeli jails waiting to be released in the same way that these 250 prisoners have been released.
What about them? We should all remember that our efforts to achieve freedom for our prisoners and nation has just started. As you can see at this caricature our leaders don't always put the prisoners issue at the top of the priority list and it is wrong.


I have a relative which has been kidnapped by Israel, and since that moment I haven’t seen him. I feel it is a crime, that a mother can not see her child for more than 6 months! It is absurd…
I wonder how Palestine could have been like, if all our prisoners would have been released.. Maybe someday, Abu Mazen will succeed in bringing all our beloved ones home. I personally believe that Abu Mazen can lead us out of this harsh times and that his way is the right way, but we must help and support him. I just hope that the Israelis see the opportunity and that Hamas will not ruin it again.

There is another issue that we mustn't forget. Our brothers are still stuck outside Gaza, in the Egyptian side of Rafah, it looks as if no one cares about them. its unacceptable that they can't come back to their families through the Rafah crossing but it's also unacceptable that HAMAS is preventing them from coming back through other crossings, because of political reasons.
