The other day, as I was waiting for Finkelstein to begin his speech, a note taped to the back of a chair in front of me grabbed my attention. I leaned forward and (out of thrill and curiosity) snatched the note and began reading … “In a world where a book is judged by its cover, what would yours say?”
In light of the most recent events in… yes! Gaza, I was just wondering how Victory is defined …
Anybody?
Thanks in advance,

There is a saying in French that if after the age of 50 you get up without feeling a pain somewhere, you are dead. I am happy to get up every morning. In the broader sense I think that happiness is a not-so- realistic invention. Happiness is a moment. Happiness is a butterfly. I feel happy when I complete a work. ~ Mahmoud Darwish
So, what makes you a bit happy?
Isn’t there a particular month out of the year that you just abhor, despise and just completely hate? that you wish never existed? that you wish you can completely eliminate? If you can get rid of one month out of the 12, which one would you choose …and why?
Why is it that when we’re depressed and miserable and just feeling like running into a semi or driving off a cliff is when we feel most inspired to write?! or is it just me?
(not that I’ve been feeling this way lately, but.)
My latest reading (which, overall, was not all that impressive…but not too bad either) triggered some thoughts in my mind … As I was driving to work, I sent 2 rounds of a mass sms to some of my female friends with the first asking:
Hi! Would u take on prostitution if it guarantees a free palestine and exclusive return of all refugees?
Minutes later, my phone began to vibrate.
Response 1: No because it wud never happen. I know this is not an answer but that’s not even a valid question
Response 2: No cuz my parents care more about me than palestine, cuz i care about not hurting them more than the fate of others no matter how selfish that sounds. And cuz when i die, God will not take ‘for palestine’ as an excuse for selling myself and ignoring his conditions, right? You cant shut off human nature.
Revised Question sent in round 2 :
Hi! Just thinking about this … just pretend the result is guaranteed… Would u take on prostitution if it guarantees a free palestine and exclusive return of all refugees?
Response 1: I would sell my husband
Response 2: Does the end justify the means?
Response 3: No. God will not bless or free palestine if its women enter prostitution en mass!
Response 4: No Maam. What kind of barakah [blessing] would we have bel watan [in our homeland]
Response 5: Yes. Arent i such a ho. But at least a loyal one
Response 6: Inti Khateera [You are dangerous - fatal]
Response 7: I need time. It’s not easy.
Response 8: why think of something which is just not going to happen??!! Why waste your thoughts on that! and if it can really happen then when the time comes, we can think of it ….depends on the situation we are in reality
So, would you?!
Aside from war, violence, poverty…What could make someone so damn bitter!
Just wondering if there are any sick disgusting people out there who would justify such… so the question is:
Is rape ever justified?
Why/Why not?
For bilingual people out there… when you - and if you actually do - think, what language do you usually think in?
In the words of Einstein, A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!! (I need to add a New Category: WTF?!)
