Today I joined a facebook group about human rights campaigning. Even-thou the group has been set up to promote gay,lesbian and transsexual rights now it looks like it’s scope is a bit more general, after more than 33. 000 people joined the group.
Human Rights campaign (facebook group)
I found some horrible photos of the Gaza conflict at the site, that make me feel so little enthusiastic, about what I’m trying to achieve with my blog. Even after the horrors I saw in TV during the last two weeks, I believe this pictures must lift everybody from his computer-chair. Are we still living in the era of barbarian rulers, who are free to kill at their will, without ever seeing the consequences of their actions,or are there going to be consequences for Israel? We have to realize that Israel is not some fragile African dictatorship or a jungle guerrilla Warlord ruled pseudo-state. The state responsible for this atrocities is widely recognized by most developed world countries. Why is Venezuela (with its controversial leader) the only country that expelled the Israeli diplomats by now? The UN and International community just failed to solve this kind of problems so many times . I just don’t understand how can be basic human rights still violated in such terrifying way by a recognized state, without the Security Council taking any decisive action.
I was not about to go “live” with my blog yet, as there is still a lot of work to be done, but I just can’t resist the idea of doing something. If not to elevate the suffering of the Palestinian population, than at least make it hell for Israeli diplomacy all over the world. Giving a message to other governments elsewhere, that “THEY CANNOT solve their problems in such truly barbaric way”. By now it looks like THEY CAN!
Today I will create my own facebook group. And Yes; I will bother all my friends with those nasty images, because next time it can be them. If you have a facebook account yourself, please join my protest on:
