 JERUSALEM- You would be surprised about the possibility that a smile can do to you, or a small conversation … You would be surprised about what a small and unexpected things can do to your thoughts and to your believes.
I didn't live long years, and my few years on earth worth nothing in front of the many years of knowledge that other people has…
In my last week not many things happened, but a small visit made a huge difference inside me! This huge difference happened in my thoughts and believes, maybe I become a believer, or I'm now far from believing! But I know that what happened was a good lesson for me, a painful lesson, but a good one!
It started last Tuesday… When I went with few people to visit the prisoners who were released in Gilead shaleet's exchange… We went to many houses, we meet many prisoners, they were very happy to see us, and we were even more happier to see them! And our last stop was at "Al shees's" house, he was the last prisoner that we visited, we asked him about the reason behind his nickname "Al shees", and he answered that his friends in prison thought that he was always young, tough and a hard man!
When I saw him, I didn't see anything but his smile, it was my first time I saw a smile like his! A smile that makes the rocks cracks, his smile was a light of hope, it was a smile of joy mixed with determination and challenging. He spent his longest period of his life behind the walls of the jail, but he had a smile makes you think that he spent his life celebrating his birthday everyday!
When he talked about the years he spent in jail ,which is more than my age now, and how he's already missing his friends, I was touched about his strength! His words taught me that no matter where you are, no matter what you do, if you have a case to live for, and if you have a faith in this case you're never going to be defeated, at that point you're going to be stronger than million guns! Because not the gun define who you are, neither the booms nor the technology, the only thing who define who you are and how strong you are is your belief and your trust in your case. This great person made the prison a place where he can grew a smile of hope that no power in the whole world can defeat it!
Maybe I'm not going to meet him again, maybe it’s the last time that I can meet with someone who's going to affect me this much, or… maybe not! But the half hour which I spent in his house was a lesson for half century!
What is greater than a person says that on this earth what worth to die for? What is greater than a smile of a person who spent most of his life behind jails and instead giving him hope he gave us hope! I wish that every person who reads this can see his smile between these lines! I didn't know what to feel when I saw him! Should I feel happy because he was released or should I feel sad because the earth have missed a great smile in the last twenty years, or should I feel angry because there is a racist and inhuman occupation stolen this smile for years!
In my way back to Jerusalem, I understood the lesson, at first I was confused, between thinking about my mother who is angry because I'm late, or about me feeling drowsiness, or to think about this great man! Finally I was able to think better. I was able to forget about my mother's anger, and I was able to think with a closed eyes about the determination of this man! finally I understood the lesson, it was a lesson about life, I knew that in order to have a great smile like his, I should always feel powerful, with my thoughts and my believes, I shall never give up them because if I did then my life worth nothing to live for! Maybe I'll reach a moment when there is nothing for me to live for… when I finally admit that they have stolen my land, my dreams, my future, and I'm left with nothing! If I reach this moment I'll say powerfully that they can't steal my smile…
And when the world becomes more darker, and people start to forget, I will smile… maybe, just maybe there will be a hope of a beautiful white light, and maybe my smile would help someone to remember the value of a small smile, because sometimes all we need is a small smile from anyone!

JERUSALEM- This article dedicated from my heart to every free human being behind jail walls all over the world! Specially in Palestine… It wasn't my plain to write about Palestinian prisoners in this time, but after the last events I decided to write about these great people!
This article to all of you..
In the last period there was a hunger strike by the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails, this strike for demanding their rights in prison specially that the Israeli government announced several laws, such as preventing the prisoners from studying, prevent the introduction of the books and else, so the prisoners announced a hunger strike, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday of each week as a protest on these actions.
The prisoners announced that this hunger strike is the first step as a protest against these laws, and if the prison's administration don't respond with the prisoner's demand there will be an open hunger strike…
And as a result of that, just today the prisoners announced an open hunger strike declaring their demands…
The prisoners demands are:
1. End the policy of isolation.
2. Allow the undergraduate.
3. Stop the collective punishment by preventing visits and impose financial penalties on prisoners.
4. Stop the policy of restricting the hands and legs during the family visits and during meeting with lawyers.
5. Stop the policy of raids and provocation inspections against the prisoners.
6. Allowing the introduction of books, newspapers and clothing for detainees.
7. To improve medical treatment for sick and injured detainees.
8. To stop the procedure for determining visits each month, as one time for half an hour.
9. Re-broadcast satellite channels that were stopped.
After announcing the open hunger strike, the detainees declared a comprehensive disobedience and rebellion against the laws of the prison's administration, and in the meanwhile the Israeli government is shifting and moving some prisoners and detainees to unknown areas…
More than 11.000 detainees behind prisons walls!
And the world is screaming for Shaleet's right to be free, trying to forget the right of more than 11.000 human being to be free!
many of them in solitary confinement for years, I can't have words to describe their pain, their pain is unbearable, to stay for years in a small room, with no light to feel, no person to see or to talk to, is something really painful, and really inhuman!!
Maybe I don't have anything to do for them, but standing far away from them, screaming that you are all our light to freedom, maybe I don't have anything to do, but to write to them and for them, with a hope inside me that their case and their determination to get their rights is going to be spread all over the world!
I know that its just a hope or a dream! A dream for the more than 11.000 human being to return to their families, and lives, even though, many of them lived the longest part of their lives in the prison and maybe they forgot what life look like out side!
But they and I continue to dream, that their voice will reach everywhere!! It's a dream, and I'm a dreamer...
so my dear reader, when you wake up every morning late in a sweet comfortable bed, remember that there is someone who don't have this gift! when your mother kisses you every day, remember there is someone wishing to have one last kiss!
When you drink your coffee, when you swim, when you take a shower, when you eat, when you drink, when you're standing under the sun light, and when you're watching the sunset remember that there is someone who don't!
Remember the gift of living every day free, remember that you can do all these things! and the most important remember that their are people who gave away all the pleasures of life for full freedom.. And please if I didn't give you a reason to stand up, and to scream for those who didn't ate for days, find a reason inside you to stand up for them!
Be free, for yourself, for your case, for all the free people around the world, for all who gave away their freedom for your freedom..
Be free...

 Sometimes I do wonder about the truth of me being here, and the reason why I have to accept what is happening here, or maybe around me, maybe because I'm from Jerusalem, from Palestine to be more determine...
I can act like I never hear or see all the things that is happening around me, but the strange thing, that when I am between all this killing and lake of humanity I find myself interested to pursuit everything that's happening... And I find the reason behind all of this because .. I am Jerusalem...
Jerusalem is a city which was destroyed several times, but in each time, it came back to be even more stronger and taller than before, its people in each time they build it again and again, and in each time they cameback like zombies...
So I am this city ... I am the whole world!
Murder me with booms and I will only build myself again, and comeback stronger and too stupid to know better...
And with each born child on this earth is a new hope for me, with his noise, that noise which is loader and stronger than any kind of booms...
So .. I am the world, I am every born child, I am the hope...
I am Jerusalem

Un giorno la luce della libertà sorgerà sulle colline della Palestina. Il diario di Nagham Yassin |

GERUSALEMME- In occasione del 17 aprile, giorno del prigioniero politico palestinese, vorrei scrivere questo articolo per ogni detenuto che è o era nelle carceri d’occupazione. Vorrei attraverso queste mie parole manifestare il mio rispetto per tutti i nobili prigionieri che hanno abbandonato la loro libertà per la nostra libertà ... vorrei scrivere questo articolo per quelli che si rifiutarono di vivere sotto l'occupazione senza scrupoli, per chi ha rifiutato di vivere umiliato e ha scelto di vivere tra quattro pareti vuote senza avere la possibilità di difendere il suo Paese.

Il diario di Nagham Yassin: il mondo intero deve amare la Palestina |

 GERUSALEMME - “Sono esseri umani, proprio come noi” ... Questo è ciò che una ragazza ebrea mi ha detto due giorni fa, quando le ho chiesto di parlarmi dei palestinesi. Non ho avuto la possibilità di approfondire questo argomento ma è questo quello che volevo conoscere, sapere se noi eravamo umani per loro.

Il diario di Nagham Yassin: "L'anima di Vittorio Arrigoni illumina la libertà della Palestina" |

.jpg) GERUSALEMME- Non ho mai conosciuto Vittorio, e l'unica possibilità che ho avuto di “incontrarlo” è stata attraverso i mezzi di comunicazione. A volte penso che se solo avessi avuto la possibilità di vederlo, questa grande persona che è venuta a Gaza e ha baciato il suolo di questa terra mentre nonostante io sia palestinese non possa farlo, avrei riconosciuto il suo sguardo! Perché Vittorio era una grande persona! Ha vissuto la guerra, ha vissuto la speranza, ha vissuto Gaza senza lasciarla un attimo.
