I feel the same way about Obama . You neglected to mention his shifting stance towards Israel (perhaps it’s not your issue).  He’s been pro-Israel from the start.

FISA was the last straw for me. I’m going to vote third party unless he revokes his support for the bill: http://tinyurl.com/5w9w9v

I’m in Illinois so it likely won’t make a difference but I’m too disillusioned with Obama at this point to do otherwise.

Hi Vadim,

Thank you for your comment.

Palestinian issue is a humanitarian issue.

I have raised my concerns recently in public regarding human rights violation and the challenges faced by Palestinian population for more than half a century now.

I see no difference between a Palestinian Mother or any Mother’s grief stricken images in a conflict that could be resolved only when those responsible for the suffering treat victims as human beings first and then anything next.

Giving birth to life is the most arduous and joyous journey for a mother. The aspiration to raise a child in a free and secure world and provide basic to affordable comforts is a common dream of any parents.

The  sources behind violence fail to realize that they too have been gifted with life by a mother who is rewarded with a second chance to live during childbirth despite modern medicine and technology.

Every life is precious and should matter.

When I see a child in West Bank & Gaza, Tibet, Burma, Sri Lankan Tamils or Darfur and indigenous people suffering and yearning for freedom, I see beyond their ethnicity. I see the human pain and agony. The hopelessness in their eyes that darkness will never be expelled and yet forcing a smile for the international press coverage on the carnage and destruction of their lives.

I have mentioned on numerous occasions in my blogs throughout the Democratic Primary Election about the Palestinian plight  and the importance for international support and action to restore human rights and dignity for the Palestinian People and others mentioned above.

The international community must work harder to bring about peace and stability in the Middle East and possible only  upon ending western and regional alliance sponsored terrorism, weapons supply and military intervention.

My website www.padminiarhant.com to be uploaded and active from August 19th, 2008 has Humanitarian header dedicated to human rights issues concerning all human beings on earth.

I have sincere and genuine concern for citizens deprived of basic human rights and liberty to think and express as well as those struggling to establish a place they could call home like in the case of Palestinians.

Once again, your thoughts are much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Padmini Arhant
