I think of the work of this artist ...
He used to wonder if people outside, cared
Sometimes, in between the lines, you could read despair
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us,
(Don't worry what people say, we got it true).
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us,
(Enough is enough of this garbage)
Skin head, dead head.
Everybody gone bad.
Situation, aggravation.
Everybody allegation.
In the suite, on the news.
Everybody, dog food.
Bang bang, shot dead.
Everybody's gone mad.
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us.
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us.
Beat me, hate me.
You can never break me.
Will me, thrill me.
You can never kill me.
(...)
Now tell me what has become of my rights.
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Some things in life they just don't want to see.
(...)
But if Martin Luther was livin',
He wouldn't let this be no, no, aay.
(...)
You didn't read his words ?
And the images ?
Yes. This artist is not only a Voice. A voice of the Voiceless, but he makes images that ...
wow, terrible. You know, Thriller. A bit like dead people still walking...
Ups. Wonder why I speak about him, today
Why Today, makes me think of Rafah
You know, http://www.rafahtoday.org/
The image of the opening ...
Original image : Yes, sorry, I changed a bit the image.
Sometimes you just wish life could be transposed, like a jewel in a case
Protected as it must be.
The more so, when you feel you're hearing a sort of noise, made by the boy, on the image
Like morse
. . . - - - . . .
with his stone
On a stone
Sometimes, it's flowers, you see, near a wall.
Original images : Mohammed Omer
Again, sorry, but her princess robe was just too surrealistic in this surrounding. Why is this flower surrounded by grayness ? With wall full of holes. Death designs.
From despair points, to death points, holes...
Why ?
I made her a sort of wizard d'oz, a peace road. Silly, huh. At a moment of my life I believed my words could change the world, and even passed years to study this. Ha. Now, I use GIMP.
Sorry, all I wanted to say is that
His site is a real encyclopedia of Gaza.
A terrifying encyclopedia as... images, sadness, pledge, everything is always the same
It's not a history book, it's a never ending story
Of images, some of them simple gems
Of Testimonies.
Of lifes. Of deathes too.
Today it was one year ... "a year of continued medical treatments, pain -- and a search for justice."
He began using a camera to simply show the reality, and explain with words the situation, his quest of truth, this love for dignity, sense of honesty, justice, are symbolic of this never ending hope...
Mohammed Omer has reported for numerous media outlets, including the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Pacifica Radio, Electronic Intifada, The Nation, and Inter Press Service; he also founded the Rafah Today blog. He was awarded the 2007 Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism. One year after his sort of Icarius flight - too high for some, it seems, too near the sun, the light of truth - was brutally assaulted, he recalls and writes in Agence Global :

We urge everyone into mobilizing individuals and organizations from all around the world, especially from the USA, Europe and Israel, to support the campaign through distributing documents and materials about the devastating impact of the siege and by letting everyone know about Stop The Siege Campaign. In ending we call upon the international community to utilize all methods available, to stop the collective illegal punishment imposed on the people of Gaza who have done nothing to deserve what is happening to them by Israel.

They are Palestinians. They just want to come back to daddy or their family, or organise a bit of life again. At nights they cry a lot as they are devoured by insects. And once you're awake, even if the bed is not some sort of parking, you're really awake, when you are a child. You know, the more they are tired, the more excited they become...
I wonder if the Big people know this kind of thing
