If Americans Knew
This is an interesting website I found. It gives facts about the deaths, injuries, imprisonments of Palestinians and everything you can quantitatively calculate. Of course, I dont like the fact of putting pain and suffering into numbers. I know as a Muslim, that I dont care about numbers. I will be equally saddened if one child or a whole village dies.
However, I think its beneficial to see the numbers. To put an objective context to what we are trying to explain to the world. For some reason, people only believe in numbers.
They may see a very small portion of the truth, if they get a glimpse of what these people are going through.
This is not just for americans….everyone should know what is going on.

Salam Aisha: Well I’d Just Watched The” Killing Zone”Video on My Space- I Hope U’d Watched it too- & Then I’d Read Some of the Statistics on That Web Site..I Didn’t Sleep Last Night I Couldn’t..
wow All the Suffring Became Numbers Coz Numbers is All What Ppl believe..Seeing All That Makes Me Mentaly Baralyzed I Don’t Know What to Think About the Whole Issue in Palestine & Every Where in the Meddle East & the Islamic World..Sometimes it Like I’am Struggling Not to Hate Every One Including Our Selves..
That Makes Me Question Every Thing I Live With,Do I’ve the Right To Enjoy The life I’am Having?? Wandring if One Day My Home Will be in the Same Siuation..
Do I Even Have The Right to Weep Over Them?!
or Just Set Down Feeling the Shame of Being That Spoile Person that I’am?!
I’d Always Doubt the Eygptian Media That They Don’t Tell Us The Complete Truth & I Was Right..
My Prayers Will Always Be With Them..
Thanks Sis My Allah Reward U for All Ur Efforts & Ur Conscientious..
Stay Blessed~Salam
