I am thankful when it was broadcast that the Malaysians on the Freedom Flotilla are safe. There are some who lost their lives to bring aid to Gaza. My heart goes out to their family, friends and colleagues.
I am sitting here in the comfort of my home in a country which is still safe, have more than enough food for everyone, a stable economy, no war, democratic and peaceful. I do wish I can do something but I cannot. I have responsibilities, family and people to take care of at work. I think my friends would agree that without these obligations in my life, I would be out there on that ship. Even if I am not on that ship, I'd be protesting or be in a crowd of people condemning the Israel actions.
I am thankful for the little change that happens in the world the last few days.
I am thankful that the Egypt has open it's doors.
I am thankful some of the flotilla team is safe in Syria.
I am thankful that Gaza will at least get some help soon.
Oprah did not voice her concern on her Twitter.
Neither did Anderson Cooper.
Unless I miss, neither did Ashton Kutcher.
Obama fails to condemn the actions by Israel.
Kudos to Erma Fatima and Yuna, for at least raising their concerns on Twitter.
Najib did say something though he took the whole day to finally do it.
Again it is not about Muslims, Jews or Christians - It is about humanity...
About another human helping another human in need!
