DOUBLE STANDARDS
Related to country: Palestine

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The issue of the conflict between Israel on the one hand and the Hamas militants on the other should be given a sober and straight headed approach if the conflict is to be brought to a total stop.
My born of contention here is that the rest of the world has been applying double standards when it comes to the issue of that conflict in the middle east.
For instance, when the WTC was bombarded and brought down to scrap, the whole world (without the slightest miss of a heart beat)joined hands and set out to seek those who were responsible for the attacks. Even the UN itself condemned and aided in the solutions that were sought by the USA in preventing such an occurrence from ever happening again.
When the people of Darful are dying by their hundreds the whole world is crying foul yet doing nothing tangible to end the crisis.
The issue of the Somali pirates was only for the Horn of Africa until ships from the so called eligible countries started to be attacked and hijacked, then did it become a priority to the nations of the world.
The state of Somali is going down and shall soon affect the whole world (and probably even become the world's downfall)with the kind of ignorance that the world has subjected to its woes.
When the Hamas militants started firing rockets into Israel and killing the Israeli people, the world was quiet and no hassle was raised to the magnitude that it is now when the Israel nation has been forced to protect its own people, by eliminating the root course of the problem.
I WOULD LIKE TO STATE CATEGORICALLY AT THIS JUNCTURE THAT I WHOLLY CONDEMN THE KILLING OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS, WHETHER BY THE ISRAELIS OR THE PALESTINIANS OR WHOMEVER, ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO ARE VICTIMS OF MALE CHAUVINISM FROM BOTH ENDS OF THE DIVIDE.
The Israeli people are human just like any Palestinian or American or Briton or Arab or African or Asian and have the same equal rights to life and existence just like any other person in the world. If the Palestinians do not want to see their people dying, then they should face the fact that among them, there are a few individuals who are gaining alot from the conflict and should do all in their vested powers to stop them from provoking the Israelis and vise verser.
It is the worst kind of cowardice for a few individuals to use innocent women and children (in their hundreds)as their shields to perpetrate crime against other people in the name of whatever reason it is that they might want the rest of us in the world to understand.
They should come out and be counted, lay their claims on the table in broad daylight and make sure that they are just and humane and acceptable by all standards, from both ends.
The rest of the world should look critically at the sequence of the events that led to the escalation of the war
WITHOUT taking sides and making it all even worse. If both sides care that much about their respective citizenry, then they should BOTH STOP the violence/genocide and think of their people first before their own interests. Otherwise, that conflict will never end and the world shall soon suffer irrepairable damage by taking sides and drugging more and more innocent people to death.

CHILDREN AND THEIR RIGHTS
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Children all over the world are born of adults who themselves were also children at their time and the chain goes on and on and on. If today’s adults were not taken care of properly by their parents, then they would not be around to bear their own children. This does not necessarily mean that they met no hardships as they grew up. No.

The fact of the matter is that today the world over is more informed and civilized to a point where by it recognizes that each individual dually alive has its own rights of recognition and respect. These rights have been put into perspective and can easily be identified as per their respective application.

Children have of recent times been given more attention than ever before as they have been recognized............... (Read more; http://youthandchange.wordpress.com/home/children-and-their-rights/)
