Candlelit vigil (Southampton) gratuitious ...write your own comment also please.

09-01-2009 02:37

arabic - Gaza - candle vigil in Southampton
People came from far and near came, to hold their candles and share the cold and the sadness for others further away where electricity, water. food and ordinary daily needs are not being met because of savage oppression, killing, maimings and bombing.

Hanthala turned up, I reflect he was saddened and if you could have seen his face there were tears of blood - yet he held a bright candle with us - he holds a candle even now whilst many of us sleep he holds it high - hope happens in community never alone, alone we despair.

The End of Capitalism?

07-01-2009 09:03

The collective consciousness of the U.S. working class is on the brink of a profound transformation.
