Watch the video, regarding the issue of an Israeli soldier posting pictures with Palestinian detainees, on Facebook.
Timely, as today is World Humanitarian Day. In Uni, I was involved in International Humanitarian Law (aka Laws of War/Armed Conflict) and the Third Geneva Convention clearly states that a Detaining Power, must treat POWs (Prisoners of War) humanely at all times.
For the situation above, what is going on, is not war. But point is, no one wants to be treated that way, therefore don’t do it unto others. Which is quite the issue here, some people don’t look at others as human beings.
*Nicely put in laymen terms. Also, I like specifically, very specifically, what the guy said on 3:47 minute. Simply said.

Watch the video. Not the most likable fellow, but I won’t dismiss good points and brilliant angles for that reason. Watch all the way to the end as he touches various different areas, which I think applies to a number of religions.
.
One: Malaysians who want to see racism disappear r in essence seeking respect.Do maintain tht attitude 2wards foreign workers.Expats & labourers.
Two: If we can wish people around us, Deepavali, Xmas, get well soon, congrats, then I’m confident there are Malaysians who’ll wish Singaporeans happy birthday. If you would appreciate your neighbours wish you Happy Merdeka and what not, then you should do the same. Whatever country their from.
Tree: As an example: 100 trees is still a 100 trees. Given. But its also different in the context of a country with land size like Indonesia vs Singapore. Please argue fairly.

Click here to watch. Absolutely hilarious.
Ironic how this morning I tweeted ‘Eco activists r doin gd work.But I smtimes fear their fear mongering approach clouds thm&othrs of apprciatng d issue in totality,accurately’ then saw the vid. I don’t think some people would appreciate the promotion of some stereotypes in this video, but I take that at least semi-intelligent people watching this could get past that.

The photo above, is a Christian church in West 4, Manhattan. On the ground floor of that same building, obscurely, is a mosque and Islamic centre, where I had the chance to do Juma’a prayers there just two weeks ago. The same time New Yorkers were debating the issue of the construction.

Watch the video (click here to watch extended version) in this post, of the defense against the opposition of the building of the Islamic Mosque and Cultural Centre, and the support for it, by the mayor of New York city, as well as leaders of other religions.

I understand that there are some who might be comfortable with either of the two cases above, but keep in mind a few important concepts living and life. Justice. Respect. Society.

I miss creative process. It seems,working as much as I can while travelling (Day 37 of 60) is insufficient. Little is the room for expansion, progress. All the creative outlet that was available thus far, has been exhausted. I don’t miss the comfort of routine and of home, in fact, am quite detached from it at the moment that’s it at most, a subconscious.
August. Soon will be room, again, to making things happen, getting things done.

Not sure how best to say this…but when you travel the world, anywhere on its soil, hence dunia, its good to note, in the same sense as said in prayer, ‘fi dunia wa akhirah’ (this life and eternity)
