Mohammed Hashas, Oujda - AlJazeeraTalk - Morocco
 I intended to cite this short article for publication before the release of Aljazeera cameraman from Guantanamo clutches, but luckily Sami is free now to read Sarah’s words and her support for his cause. The article is written by Sarah Benmoussa, a 17 years old Moroccan high school student whom I have been tutoring in English for nearly a year now. She has always shown unrivalled interest in Arab and Islamic issues, and has always struck her class-mates with genuine ideas. I could have written few words myself about Sami, but to find a younger voice doing that at a time when our youth hardly think and care for national and world issues convinced me to let this female and young voice express her ideas. And since Aljazeeratalk is by the Arab youth and for the world, let us hear what Sarah has in mind. Her words speak well for her.

Bayan Itani - Aljazeera Talk - Beirut
 Not only did General Michelle Suleiman move out of his house at Fayyadiya to Ba’abda Palace on Monday, but also many of the Lebanese citizens moved out to fill the streets of Beirut and celebrate the country’s victory. On Monday the 26th of May two big festivals took place, the first in Southern suburb of Beirut where Hezballah celebrated the eighth memoir to the victory of the resistance in South Lebanon, and the second in Downtown Beirut.
The 11th of March coalition called for a ceremony in Downtown Beirut to celebrate the new treaty between Lebanese leaders of different parties and the elections of a president. The ceremony was scheduled at 7 P.M. in the presence of many Lebanese known artists. On the way to Downtown, there was a timid presence of people on the streets. Not surprisingly, it was the time when Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was talking in the other ceremony. Often, there were people sitting on circles on the paved sides of the streets listening to Nasrallah’s speech through their car radios.

Bilal Randeree - AlJazeeraTalk - Paris
 May 17, 2008- Thousands of French filled the streets, carrying placards and banners, singing songs and shouting slogans. This is Paris, May 2008, 40 years after the social revolution known as “May 68” shook France. The uprisings in the 60s saw a series of student protests and general strikes that caused the eventual collapse of the French government.
One could have easily mistaken the protest to be one of those marking the strike in Paris, by thousands of teachers and public sector workers, to protest against job cuts and education reform. But if one listened closely and read the banners, it was clear that this protest was in support of the Palestinian people.

Alaa Malhas - AlJazeeraTalk - Beirut
 Ever since I came to Beirut, Lebanon I used to love the nightlife. I used to hang out with my friends, go clubbing, etc… In general, Beirut was merely about its nightlife. Or at least it WAS about its nightlife until that specific date, the date that changed my view towards the ‘night’. May 7, 2008 was that date. ‘Oh my Gosh’ was the word that took over my mind.
It started as a normal day for Beirut, or actually come to think of it, there was a strike that was done by the labor union against the daily rising of the living cost without decent wages. So my friend called me so she can come over, since we’re both students at the Lebanese American University, studying Journalism, and living alone in Beirut.

Bayan Itani - Al-Jazeera Talk - Beirut
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations… The sentence that many Lebanese and non-Lebanese citizens heard or stated much today. After the “magnificent” miracle that occurred in Qatar where the Lebanese puppets finally agreed, “congratulations” was the best word choice.
I went to the university as usual. My friends arrived to class congratulating me and the other students. In another class, the instructor who is American congratulated us. For the first time in my life I hear the word “congratulations” this much, much more than the time I heard it when I graduated from high school or when my sister got married.

Fida Qishta - AlJazeeraTalk - Gaza
 Israeli officials said Monday that they finished their military operation in the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli attacks continue, and we fear that Israel is still planning a major invasion. On Friday, Israel's Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai warned of "a bigger holocaust" for Palestinians.
Between Wednesday and Sunday, the Israeli army killed around 110 Palestinians in Gaza, about half of them civilians, and nearly a quarter children, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights in Gaza. Hundreds were injured. Palestinians killed two Israeli soldiers and one Israeli civilian.

Jaouad Radouani - AlJazeeraTalk
 The roots of the modern clash between the East and the West go back to the beginnings of the Palestino-Israeli problem. With the emergence of the Israeli state in 1947, with back up from western powers (Europe and the US), emerged with it what we call the “Palestinian case” with a back up from the eastern nations (Arabo-Islamic states). Since then, The East and the West were newly brought together to the field of battles; a Judaeo-Christian West was clashing with a Muslim East. What is of paramount importance in this clash is the fact that it is mainly and primarily based on religious and economic causes (crusade wars).

 Kuwait’s Deputy Prime Minister Faisal Al-Hajji, Kuwaiti Prime Minister Nasser Al-Sabah, Kuwaiti Prince Nawaf Al-Sabah, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Jordanian King Abdullah, Kuwait’s Amir Sabah Al-Sabah, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, Bosnian President Haris Silajdzic, and many more heads of states and government ministers attended the World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) in Kuwait from 29 April to 1 May 2008. The names and titles were almost as long as the convoy of coaches, luxury petrol guzzlers and police escorts from the Kuwait Sheraton to the Bayan Palace.
Kuwait pledged to donate $100 million towards a fund, aimed at providing basic foods to poor people in Islamic countries. "Kuwait ... is offering an initiative to establish a fund for decent life in Islamic countries to provide basic foodstuff for those who are in need quickly," Kuwaits Amir said during the opening of the fourth WIEF. |

Mohammed Hashas - AlJazeeraTalk - Oujda, Morocco
 History teaches. History lives. These have been my beliefs since I started to reason with things, with ideas, with people, and with history itself. Nothing should be soon put on shelves for memoriam or decoration only. It should serve as a way of teaching. Old stuff comes to hand one day. One could keep a flower to remember a precious person, or keep score transcripts to remember school glorious days, or keep books for research and leisure reading, etc. So many people keep tokens to remind them of certain stages of time in their life, and by implication one might think that such a token is preserved for its didactic value. However, this is not always the case. One hardly goes beyond the superficial significance of objects, be they mere objects or events when it comes to history.
When no reasonably telling and profound link is made between a particular event in the past with one’s presence in the world, history for such person is dumb, dull, and useless, while it should be looked at quite the opposite way. When one turns his back to his history, not much should be expected from him. One should avail himself of his personal past as well as that of his people, and world history at large. One is never able to start from scratch.

Nazek AbuRahma - AlJazeeraTalk - Gaza
Many days have passed since the stopping of education programs took place in the Palestinian universities. Finally, the Islamic University in Gaza and Alazaher University have gone back to continue their study program and have been trying to present more facilities for students to continue the education process. As a result, it
seems that the Palestinian students will enter another challenge under the siege imposed by the Israeli occupation.
