i read the short story by orwell and could not find any rationale for comparing it to the documentary i have seen yesterday in verdi park cinema, barcelona, spain, europe.

i believe that whoever still needs to see dead children in gaza to understand the seriousness of human rights violation happening in Gaza (and in so many other parts of this world) does not deserve those images and will not make any difference at all in these children's lives.

i believe in helping the people rather that explicitly broadcasting faces of victims whose consent was not asked. i am sure they plead for help but is this the advocacy we aim for? every tragedy reported in the developed world tries to inform and to show facts but never exploring identities. there was no dead body face shown in the September 11. why do we think that in developing areas should be any different?

i believe that, as any conflict in this world, the one in the Gaza Strip affects civilians indiscriminately - when it should affect politicians and military forces only. But are we really acting upon it when we strip children men and women who are nothing to blame and show it to other civilians (ourselves) who weap and feel sorry and go home sick but can't really do anything about it?

i care for the people. i care only for the people. and i do not need to see them dying to know that they exist. and that the value of each one of their lives is worth as much as mine.

do not fight fire with fire, Mohammad and Alberto. instead of shooting the elephant, go to the elephant, feed it and show the other shooters that there is no single life that is not worth sparing.
