Keep watching even if it makes you puke

Nice picture? Yeah. Quite dramatic. Nice to look at, isn't it?

But no one could tell the story behind this picture.

Would people know that this is actually a result of the smoke from three days of Israeli air strikes against Hamas militants, blending with brewing storm clouds to create a dramatic sunset over the Palestinian territory on December 29, 2008 viewed from Israel's border with the Gaza Strip.

People say, a picture tells a thousand words.

So, why don't we have a look at a few more, ok? Keep looking even if it makes you puke, because life isn't just about happiness, entertainment, holiday, shopping, etc..

We must be dumb to not know about the Palestinian issue. It is clearly the largest open air prison in the world.

And we must be dumber if we don't do a thing to help them. For instance, join the boycott campaign, or make donations (through Aman Malaysia, Human Appeal, etc).

And my dear Muslim brothers and sisters, do pray for the Palestinians.

May Allah strengthens their hearts and gives them victory.
