Save Darfur!

On Sunday the 29th of April I went to a demonstration against the appalling treatment refugees from Darfur a region of Sudan, are receiving from the Israeli government.

These refugees are escaping from the Janjaweed, who are raping, murdering and massacring them with the intent of exterminating them, using territorial and religious objectives.

Instead of asylum, over 300 people have been put in a detention center in Israel. There is no place for them here, they are not entitled to food, work or health care, except as prisoners of the state.
These are survivors of genocide.

Genocide is not something that happened more than half a century ago.
Genocide is not something that is happening half a continent away.
It is happening here and now and it is happening under our nose.
And the world is ignoring it, just like it ignored the Armenian slaughter, the Nazi Holocaust, the Cambodian killing fields, Kosovo and Sarajevo, Rwanda...

The green ribbon is the Save Darfur! Campaign ribbon and it will be going up on my profile in order to keep traffic going to the campaign website.
Go there, and spread this over your LJ and blogs.

This is important, human lives are at stake... this is our reality and our humanity.
Think of the future. Don't stand aside and say you didn't know.



Thanks to Mummy and Robbie for helping me write this very important post.

Blah

I am so behind in my Comic book reading!

I haven't been to CnV for months! They have a shit-load of my stuff waiting for me.

Crap.

I'll have to go sometime this week.

Plus I need new reading material, not that I actually have any room for any new comics.

*lays down head tiredly* So much stuff to do and I just want to procrastinate forever.

In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

The Coffee Psalm by Anonymous

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Mochas forever.


In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

The best part of waking up...

Is this!

I'm having such a lovely, funny day.

Oh, and a happy May Day, Beltaine and Samhain (for the Southern Hemisphere) and all the other things that happen on the first day of the Merry month of May.

BTW, my birthday is in 14 days...

Mummy has her moments.

Mummy asked me if I was going to the Anti-Olmert (Our Prime Minister who was found to be completely inept by the Winograd Report, along with the Defense Minister Peretz and the -then- Chief of Staff Halutz, who resigned, I was happy to report, months ago) Rally in Tel-Aviv this Thursday.

I said: "Most likely... Why?"

She said: "I'll go with you, I can't in good conscience criticize the government and not stand up for my convictions"

I went: o_O

she said: "What?"

I'm all: < I have a cool Mom >

Like I said, she has her moments.

In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

קישור מצוין

סיכום דוח וינוגרד, לעצלנים.

והסיכום דוח המלא, למקרה ויש לכם נדודי שינה.
לא, אבל בת'כלס זה מעניין וחשוב לקרוא וחשוב לדעת למה צריך להפגין ביום חמישי.

אה, ואחד במאי מוצלח לכולם.
