When things at the university goes wrong…
Last week, on Tuesday, the 24th of July, An-najah university (in Nablus) witnessed the ugly side of Palestine..
For those who missed the action:
On Tuesday a violent confrontation took place at the University. Many students got injured, and one of the students has died as I have heard as a result of this "war".
I even heard from a friend of mine that people were shooting inside the campus! Isn't it insane? Even the university is being used for these unnecessary deaths.
I wonder if there is even one place left in Palestine that hasn’t been violated by Hamas supporters.
The An-najah board has decided to suspend the classes for the moment. It means that all of the an-najah students are not learning at the university just because of these fights… is it worth it???
Why does Hamas feel free to enter into every "quiet" place, and demolish it?
A friend of mine who was there told me it was horrible .It all started when Hamas decided to hand out special leaflets, but the problem was that the university decided because the circumstances, and the happenings in Gaza, that no leaflet what so ever will be distributed inside the area of the university. But the Hamas students cell decided not to consider the request of the university board ... and therefore, the Fateh student cell tried to stop the handing out of this leaflet inside the university campus. From here hell broke loose.
I wonder… Universities are supposed to be places where you come to learn, and therefore they are supposed to be a safe place for us, and not places were one is trying his best to save himself and his friends from bullets flying above the head.
I asked my friend to draw a special caricature in order to show you the way we see this incident in Nablus ..
We feel as if the anarchy in Gaza is penetrating the west bank in a tremendously quick way, we are very disturbed seeing such pictures and fights. My biggest fear is that Hamas will also conquer the west bank, as they have Done in Gaza. And the consequences were not good at all.. we all hope that all will be well here and that the Palestinian peple will be reunited again.
So please, let's keep the anarchy outside the west bank and especially away from Ramallah.
Sincerely,
Asad al nimr.

Oh, Asad... I am very sorry that this happened =( The palestinian people deserve so much better than those two... they are only worsening things... =(
I pray that one day the palestinian people get a leader or a leader group which will actually CARE about the suffering and that it won't seek to divide but rahter... to unite.
but you keep that chin up!
Oh and also... just to reply to your comment on my blog:
No, I am not working for the government. I am only 17 years old =) When I refered to "government homework" I meant my homework from social studies class which is quite a lot.
What exactly do I do with these articles? Well, I read them then I write an informal response on them (The KHAN Note).
On April 2007, my school approved for me to do an Independet Study pertaining to the Middle East and Latin America. My blog "Poking Holes" is an early-bird personal informal research on the Middle East. My other Blog "Puyando" is the personal informal research on Latin America. So far... the blog is themed with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
I hope to become more educated on both the Middle East and Latin America by reading =)
Scroll to the bottom of "Poking Holes" to see more on the Independent Study =)
and thanks for reading!
