We’ve watched enough, it’s time to act and stop the silence. It is not about being a Muslim or Jew… it’s about being a human. We all suffer, we all bleed and we all deserve to live in peace.
So act now, show us what you are going to do!
لا فرق بين مسلم ويهودي بالإنسانية، فجميعنا بشر من لحم ودم وكلنا نحس ونغضب ونتألم، فالأم أم مهما كانت ديانتها والطفل طفل مهما كان عرقه، وجميعنا كبشر لنا الحق بأن نعيش بسلام.
والآن… أما آن لنا أن نكسر جدار الصمت ونفعل شيئا يرضي الله!
in reality we are all in action but missing a clear direction!
If you call flipping newspapers and TV channels an action then yes.. everybody is making an action!
يعطيك العافيه مؤيد على الفلاش .. صج الحرب مش لغتنا
لكن.. اكيد في أكشن دام الشعب الكويتي شان غضبه على السياسة الأمريكيه
ورافضين وجود السفير عندهم ..
عندنا نوووووووووم في العسل الله يكافيكم الشر 😐
well, then lets all trun to suicide bombs! are you looking for such an action?
or lets shout for couple of hours and then turn back to our (innormal life)
or boycott some products
what creative effective solutions do we have here!
don’t look for a quick solution, beacuse quick ones are temporary, and don’t fight the real corrupition which is the main reason for holding us back and turning us into sheeps!
fatma
الله يعافيج
الغضب على السياسه الأمريكيه ما راح يستفيد منه طفل لبناني واحد
ودنا التحرك يكون إيجابي أكثر
يا ريت تقرين كلامي بمقالي السابق

Have you even seen the flash? 😀
Violence is not the answer, we need action toward peace. We must think positively not destructively.
People are dieing man! They don’t want to wait until our battle with corruption ends, they need help now! We must do something to stop the war, and we must do something to help those who need help.. fast!
If you can help, positively.. not with shouting and burning flags, then act. Everybody can help.. at least with a prayer or with a small donation.
Visit http://www.nbk.com to donate to the Red Crescent or find a local charity.. it’s really easy to help.
Again, take a look at my post here:
http://www.moayad.com/me/?p=57
It’s the first thing I did when I visit your blog
I don’t think you said somthing new
Since ages our animes kill our brothers and we donate and pry for peace
have we made any progress!?
I said in the first place, we are in action but missing clear direction
Do we really pray for peace?
This is the question 🙂
for our peace, yes we do it all the time
but praying to live (in peace) with israeli side by side as one loving family
together in our (new) middle east
if you recite this prayer from your deap heart, I will say Amen!
and I dare you can do it
anyway, I prefer to remain silent in such situation
beacuse now I can do nothing but prying
It is amazing to me how different things look from the two ends of this conflict, and how at the same time – the people are so alike
The arabs feels like israel wants to destroy them, and the israelis feels that they have no one to talk to, becouse the arabs wants to kill us
Really, we all just wanna live at peace. I was very touched by your presentaion, and I thank you for that
I said a pryer to god for peace, I belive god here as
Noa ,israel
I read the debate in starbucks forum
and since I decided that I will never reply there, I am gonna write my reply here
from my understanding, you are asking us to respect Israelis and wish them a peacful death, since they are humans like us
ok, I’ll do
May God bless their souls, May their souls rest in peace
Amen
Moayad, I read your last comment in the forum
in here is my reply:
Wars has been and still a sussesful tool to grap our attention and keep our lives in pause mode. In wars, we just see wars and think of victory
no one wishes to lose
what it is happening in Lebanon now is notheing but gambling, everyone is saying to himself (we might win this battle)
asking us for donating is a differnet message
donating might heal some injuries, might feed hungry people
but won’t change the political decisions, it won’t creat peace
It is the minimum (or actually the maximum) thing we could do for them
To Noa
———-
If you guys serious about peace, please show us your action
can you force your government to stop the attack
can you suggest anything, that we sitizens might do inorder to make our lives and yours get better?
I am ready to support anything could stop the bleed
————-
I wish I can continue this disscusion, but can’t until September
I am traviling today
see you next month
Dear Moayed,
It is needless to say that you are a person of high quality in your point of view regarding the unfairness, injustice and calamities of the human kind because of pointless war.
The way you expressed the broad picture in your brilliant flash indicate the maturity of you as a man who loves peace, decentness and a loving world.
Finally, I wish you all the best in your studies and Ensha’Allah you will be get your Ph.D. in a blink of an eye.
Yours truly,
Arafat
bin3li..
Since you read what I wrote in starbucksq8 then.. thank you 🙂
and see you soon o terja3 lena bessalama 🙂
Noa..
Thank you. As long as we believe in peace and work for it we can achieve it.
Dr. Arafat..
Thank you so much bro 🙂
to bin3li: you said two things that i found to be a bit confusing – you said that you wish that the israelies will die at peace, and at the same breath you asked me if I have suggestions how your people and main can co-exist, and I belive that the first step is to understand that you and me have the givven right to live. do you belive in the right of an israeli girl to live – mind you I did served in the army.
If you ask me for a solution, than im afraid I don’t have clear steps to world peace that we should follow but I belive in peoples state of mind, and I belive we can make a difference by talking about peace and the importance of human life and recognize the pain and suffer both our people have had.
As israelis we axpect the lebnonis to condemn HIZBALLA and not to allow him to go on his terror attacks from your homes. I belive that you must take hizballa out of you and seize conrol in the area. Understand that israel has no quarrel with lebnon and she only wishes to protect her self from hizballa, that srarted all this.
I will pray for the pour souls of the innocents how died- in israel and in lebnon and I wish you a safe trip.
Noa, israel
great prentation
we wish for peace in the all area…
may we all live together and no one willl die,in both sides
This presentation isn’t equal! How come there are mostly pictures of the Arab side? Why don’t you show the same amount of pictures of ruined houses and buildings in Israel and broken families whose relatives were killed and of Lebanese? People in the north stay in bomb shelters for week not only Lebanese… I totally agree with the excited call for peace, however- an equal picture of the situation should be presented. Maybe this presentation should be updated. Moreover, you should show more pictures of Nasralla and his terrible fellow-terrorists, those who started this war from first place. I really believe that the only way to achieve peace between the two countries is to kick Hezbollah out of Lebanon and let the miserable Lebanese who live under Hezbollah’s control live in peace. As I said before, Hezbollah stated this war Israel wouldn’t have attack (and it didn’t) if Hezbollah hadn’t had shoot on civilized area in the north of Israel. You, the people of Lebanon need to be strong enough to get Hezbollah out of Lebanon and your life as our neighbors will be beautiful. Don’t let this terrible terrorist take over your lives. It’s Hezbollah that is responsible to your bad situation.
I really hope there will be peace between the two countries and a real acceptance of both sides of right the other side to exist.
i’m from Israel and proud of it..
I just want to say that we don’t want this war….we weren’t the ones whe initiated it…
we also want to stop this madness…but how can we stop when people like Nasralla are telling that Israel should be destroyed?
how can we sit and watch our country be destroyed…
I an very sorry about all the people who were killed on both sides,
please stop it can’t we just live in peace?
🙁
hi!!!
i am adi from israel…i must say your little film was very good!! thanks for making it!
I think your right moayad….I wish the answers were so easy…..war is never the answer…but there are two stubborn sides….but i do have a prayer..il keep say it to god…maybe someday he will listen…
anyhow you sound great! thanks for that!!:oops:
أقووووووول يا لإسرائيلي

I´m, far away from Israel, Palestine and Libanon now, in Austria – but I`ve been living and working there two times for several months and saw the beauty of the country and the welcoming people; so now when I see pictures like on this website it makes me cry- I feel with you as if I´m living there and I ask myself how humans can treat each other like this, how it`s possible that parents want to see their enemies dead, without realizing that they are somebody`s else kids, too….
but still I believe and pray to God that one day some way in peace will be found to take all this fear and pain away !!! Just don`t loose your faith, love and strengh to you all out there!

This presentation is really fascinating! Great job!:smile:
am I late for this discussion !? 🙄
as a muslim and a palestinian it’s in the core of my creed to express peace
live for peace , and spread peace every where and in every possible way and the most simple practiced way is our greeting “salam alaikom” which means “peace be unto you” .
so there is no confusion about that part ..
the problem how ever starts when some one come to me with war and hatred , kill my father , burn my mother , and make me a homless orphan
destroy my home and steal my land and then ask me to live with him in peace !!!!!
without repeating what every one else knows, what I want to state is :
we dont mind living with jewish people in peace “under our rightful control of our land – palestine ” period . and that is the main conflict !!
the war is not about peace , it’s about our rights in our own land ..
for 2 captives , israel destroyed 15,000 homes in lebanon and killed more than a thousand .. yet they expect to kill hundreds of us and want us to consider peace !! excuse me , we are humans as much as you or mabey more , and we hate war more than you do .. but if war is the only way to get our rights back and defend our selves , then you left us no choice .
and for your information , we muslims every where in the world prefer to die with dignity to the last one of us than to live with shameless peace that was FORCED on us as if we have no rights to live as FREE HUMANS and no right to make our own choices .
and so , back again to your question :
Do we “muslims ,arabs , palistinians , lebanese , iraqi … etc” want peace !?
and the answer is “surely YES” .
Then what stops you , you might ask ..
and I would say : Give us our rights back and we would choose peace ,
take our rights from us and we would turn to human bombs .. you left us with no other choice .
So , Don’t go to arabs and muslims and ask them to surrender their rights in the name of peace , coz we know that trick and learned the lessons and believe me it wont work any more ..
just leave us alone , treat us as humans and give us our own lands ,our homes and our rights back and we will show you how to live in peace . Dont cut my hand and say I’m rude coz I refused to shakehands with you !!!
would that ever happen !?
I’ll leave you choose your own answer ,
coz it’s the only answer that would count for you .. and so mine is for me .
Peace be unto those who chose the right path ..
The Hope
Peace will prevail.
I just cannot imagine any other scenario.
But long is the road.
There is much to do.
Dialogue is the key.
Our ennemy is our own fear.
Talking about Forgiveness is essential.
In June, the Fès Forum invited us to meditate about this crucial issue.
There is a video on the theme here : http://futurs.org/fesforumwebtv/
Your comments are welcome.
Hi, My Dear Arabs Friends 🙂
I was touched from this “call for Action”
The first thing that we – Arabs and Israeli do,
Is That in any Chance that we “remember” about this “Israel-Arab” war is just send love to our Current “enmy”
This is the only thing we can do for now…
I traveled in the World and met Arabs From Yamen, Lebanon, Iraq…
we had chance to know each other, Respect and Even Help Each Other…
I have this memory in my Heart and Also them…
So, Step by Step the Peace Will come.
We Don’t have to be Brothers….
We can be just Regular Friends…
Respect Each Other Right To live His regular Life…
Love For All 🙂
David
Bless you for the essential and moving presentation.
If more and more people, in all sides, will stand up like you did and speak loudly for peace the world will eventualy become a Garden of Eden.
Thank you again, as an Israeli I can fill true hope when I see such announcements.

Touching – I answer with a video called “time” on http://www.youtube.com (search for drmidix and check it…)
I believe that we are in anthropological terms still coping with tribal genes including the killing of external group (sometimes internal..) members, pre-historically with the prime reason of survival, territory and expanding – sometimes out of suspicios motives. Then consciousness, religion and culture were developed and new societies grew up with new technological abilities BUT the song remains the same: genes stayed – society moved on – killing still takes place out of the same reasons. It only looks as if it´s more complex but it is not! There is a strong difference in the opportunities and responsibility nowadays. We can and must reflect our doing supported by information we got and the education we have to see the consequences. So here we are – we call for new freedom tools but some of us made a deal with hell long ago. Practically the only way out is to begin with ourselves and ask where it starts in our very own heart (once the killing started theres no halt at all…) Isn´t it only a few ones who start the trouble? Watch very closely on every occasion. Don´t we all want to live in peace and prosperity with eqal chances and rights? don´t you need a feeling of friendlyness and limitless trust worldwide – What a great Idea and by the way you can find it in most religions all over this planet. We are all into this and i found it in arabia, israel and more than 80 countries throughout the planet THE GREAT MAYORITY WANTS PEACE – Thats a fact. But the dark side of our moon holds some killers and sends them now and then to put the pressure on us all (and even on themselves). We won´t ever stop them. Imagine even the the difficulty to stop the one disturbing kid in a classroom. We just have to choose our very own peaceful and friendly way and ideals and spread the word on every occasion: Be true to yourself and others, don´t ever kill or aggress your fellow humans – respect and enjoy life, don´t accumulate whealth harming others – many an more options you can read in the books of all our and your forefathers and mothers – respect them and don´t repeat their faults all over again. They have sent us very concrete hints how to prevent the murder in every culture – cope with them and not with the dark side of our heritage.
The most important to me:
The world divides only into (sorry) assholes and smart ones (no arabs, jews, black, white, yellow etc….) Generalizing is one big part of the mess!!! – meet people, not ideologies.
Then: support the smart ones – let the assholes build their own colony on a different planet – wishful thinking.
Be honest with yourself before the trouble starts – no one will stop it or you once you are involved.
Then, definitely after this, come all those aspects of our globel togetherness, responsibility of the whealthy, pollution, building weapons, holding territories, gain or loose ore and oil… etc.etc. we can discuss millions of years: the chaotic development of circumstances is our dayly bread and can´t ever be handled in a proper manner as long as diverse interests fuel conflicts. This part of it will always remain the same.
Sadly it might take too long for us all to understand – look back into history: the few bad ones always made it, the majority (not choosing violence) lost the game. So here we go……
It makes me sad, but were trying…were trying….
Best wishes to every “smart” human out there
Thanks for your input
Chris
i wish that every levanon, and israel people were thoght like that.
the ‘hizballa’ are using you. it’s what i’m think… i really hope that all the children and adult will be fine, and will hope to peace.
