The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

About me. Welcome to My Blog!
Mohammed Rabah Suliman -
Blog from a Gazan
http://msuliman.wordpress.com/my-blog/


I am Mohammed Rabah Suliman, 21 years. I’m from Palestine and currently reside in Gaza. I study English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza– a senior. I was born in Saudi Arabia, educated and raised in Gaza.

Due to the fact that I am living in a region which is characterised by constant war times, brutalities, and violence resulting from the new old historical conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis, I found myself obliged to record my views, experiences, and diaries as I witness them firsthand. Therefore, I have created this blog so that people can read and become more familiar with the lives of Palestinians away from the illusively complex political speeches and media talks. I will be happy to read your comments, and all suggestions are highly appreciated.

People who have never been to Gaza mostly form an image of life in Palestine, in Gaza particularly, as full of misery and suffrage where there is no space for a peaceful moment to live. My blog, however, is to talk of peace as well as of war. This blog is dedicated to Gaza and its people. This blog is where you can read about the life of a UN student, a taxi driver, a farmer, an engineer, a doctor, a resistance fighter; the life of a boy, a girl, a mother, a father, the life of Palestinians both in peace and war.

“The very word per se is evocative of a whole lot of irreconcilable senses: of life and death, of delight and misery, of excitement and wretchedness, of hopefulness and despair, of Hamas and Fateh; and, not understandably, of Al-Ahli and Al-Zamalek. Gaza, the word, by its own nature, and upon the mere pronunciation of it, automatically conjures up two images deeply inculcated in the memory of every Gazan: one of Fares Oda, unflinchingly facing a tank and throwing it with a stone, and the other Mohammed El-Dorra, embraced by his father, and crying for his life. The word, although light as it seems, weighs heavily upon the heart of its enemies.
