Random Coincidences OR Purposeful Intelligence?

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

How could one explain the existence of this expanding cosmos, which began as a simple event; a random, intense, dispersing, chaotic explosion moving into an orderly structured, finely tuned, mathematically measured, supremely complex, well-defined by laws and ever evolving towards further complexity- universe?

How many coincidences could “scientists” rely upon as a plausible explanation to the existence and evolution of the universe without blushing in total embarrassment ?

The complexity, balance, harmony and exquisite beauty which one observes would need an incalculable number of coincidences, an incalculable amount of matter, and incalculable amount of time, all of which are far greater than the mass, size and age of our universe.

Before these gazillion breathtaking “coincidences” we stand in awe!

Bearing in mind the impossibility of ever disproving the existence of an Intelligence behind the existence of the universe and its laws, to EXCLUDE the POSSIBILITY of the existence of Purposeful Intelligence or an Intelligent Designer which could have caused such intricate complexity is not only narrow-minded, but also irrational and utterly unscientific, bordering on ridiculous.

Just like thought police and Medieval fanatics, some materialists would not even allow a discussion on the possibility of contemplating a hypothesis of intentional purposeful design (rather than random coincidences) as an alternative explanation to the magnificent existence of this sublime, finely tuned universe, yet they still insist on calling their rigidness, close-mindedness, and blind faith in gazillion coincidences, “scientific rational thinking”!

Love

Posted on August 16, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Scent of Heaven

Taste of eternity

Screenshot of Paradise

Glimpse into the Divine

Love is the point where the Infinite meets the finite

Where the Boundless embraces phi ∅

Love is the magnificent energy preceding creation,

Causing all, to be

Topography of my soul

Posted on August 15, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

When I was seven,

At gunpoint,

I was driven out of my homeland, Palestine

A Naksa, survivor, daughter of Nakba survivors

Eyes moist, gazing at the horizon

Fixated towards Jerusalem

Ever since

When I was seventeen,

My family departed Libya, moved away, as did I

Leaving all my friends behind

“I will not go through this again” I thought

“No more friends, no more love, no more gain

No more loss, no more separation, no more pain”

I said to myself

At twenty seven,

A stranger in a strange land, London, UK

The chest of my beloved was ripped open

Valve replacement in his weary heart

Standing by his side in ICU

“Wouldn’t I wish it was me under the surgeon’s knife”

“I would cope better, if I took your place”

Anguish unbearable, legs… jelly, I fell to the floor

broken_heart_by_starry_eyedkid-1_e1906ae0

At thirty seven,

Gasping for life, in a hospital bed

Embroidering hope with a phantom thread

Wavering in and out of existence

Four years in the abyss

Watching in despair

My children growing

Playing alone, dressing alone, reading alone,

Going to bed without mama’s song or bedtime story

A breathing shadow

I linger at the brim of sanity

In daunting anticipation

Dreading the relentless daily questions of my toddler

“Are you feeling better, mama? Can you give me a bath now?

Can you tell me a story yet? Can we play outside today?”

“Does that grey colour in your hair mean you’re going to die soon, mama?”

At forty seven,

Grieving the sudden loss of my soulmate,

Burying my beloved in a faraway graveyard

Frozen, I curl inwards,

Staring at his face fractalising, covering every spot I lay my eyes upon

Frantically I run to me

Flicking through my memories

Searching every corner of my lost mind

Exhuming my heart, tearing it apart

Chiseling the kernel of my soul with my bare hands

Maybe, just maybe, I could find Khaled’s grin again

Meet his shadow, kiss his forehead

Catch a whiff of his scent around

Or hear one of his heartbeats just one more time

At fifty seven,

oops, not there yet !

* * *

NO… NO

Don’t get me wrong

I am not complaining, not at all

I’m merely describing the lowest points in time and space

On the map of my journey, in the canyons of my soul

* * *

The rest is magic

Swaying hills, and gushing waterfalls

Great big mountains with high altitudes

Buoyant meadows, and dancing rainbows,

Flowing rivers, pounding oceans, hymns of gratitude

Thank you Allah, Shukran ya wadoud

Simple Logic

Posted on July 3, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Since I know Love exists,

For I feel its awesome wonder

gushing through my buoyant soul

Absolute Love must exist

A Love Sublime, infinitely greater than mine

I know Compassion exists,

I recognize its tender whispers

In the pounding of my heart embracing all

Absolute Compassion must exist

A Compassion Divine, infinitely greater than mine

I know justice exists,

I crave for its harmonious glory

As for water in a desert, on a hot summer day

Absolute Justice must exist too

A Justice Supreme, infinitely greater than mine

I know perfection exists,

I adore, dream of, and sing for

With every neuron of my bewildered mind

Absolute Perfection must exist

A Perfection Majestic, infinitely greater than mine

Since I know beauty exists,

I see it in every face and every smile

Wherever I turn, whenever I look around

Absolute Beauty must exist

A Beauty Exquisite, infinitely greater than mine

I know creativity exists,

In a fairytale of a child’s dream

Playing a heavenly tune, dancing by a stream

Absolute Creativity must exist

A Creativity Grand, infinitely greater than mine

I know forgiveness exists,

As I bathe my soul in wondrous miracles

Heal your wounds, watch anger fade away

Absolute Forgiveness must exist

A Forgiveness Magnificent, infinitely greater than mine

I know generosity exists,

I have tasted its splendid fruit,

Give, receive… Give, receive, watch the world goes round and round

Absolute Generosity must exist

A Generosity magnanimous, infinitely greater than mine

Absolute, Infinite Love, الودود

Absolute, Infinite Compassion, الرحمن الرحيم

Absolute, Infinite Justice, العدل

Celebrating Sexual Orientation, the Road to Liberation?

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

I cannot help but notice the striking commonalities between two politically active groups who perceive themselves as uniquely “oppressed”, perpetually “persecuted”, “hated” and “marginalized” :

A small part of their perception of the self has become their entire identity

They display symptoms of victim-hood syndrome and excessive sense of persecution

They exhibit intense craving for, and demanding of world-love, by hook or by crook

They use slander and ad hominem attacks as means to win the debate, against those who stand by in bewilderment, and against those who don’t celebrate with them their self-obsession and self-adoration

They criminalize those who ask questions, show signs of concern or express different opinions, share some doubts or dissent

In recent years, the entire Western political paradigm has been encapsulated in two main campaigns: the first being the right of LGBT to proselytise their lifestyle (specially amongst children) and to publicly celebrate their sexual orientations, and the second being “israel’s right” to defend itself.

The spectrum of political debate has shriveled to two pivotal topics, spinning in the orbits of “same-sex love” on the Left and “israel adoration” on the Right.

The candidate/ party who are most able to exhibit more love and support to both are the most likely to climb up the political ladder resuming leadership.

The more dedication a candidate/ party shows to both LGBT and the Jewish State the more chances of scoring high on the scale of “civility”

Too much time, energy and money has been invested in expressing “pride” of sexual orientation, and in publicly celebration sexual behaviour, all with the blessing and support of the political “elite”, world leaders and dubious institutions.

What a devious way to divert attention from scrutinizing the REAL issues of PERSECUTION, OPPRESSION and INJUSTICE !

The global and annual LGBT exhibitionist celebrations -under the banner of fighting for human rights against “persecution”, is coupled with persistent attempts to insert this “fight” in every other liberation and/or human right movement.

Juxtaposing the six colours ( hijacked rainbow bright colours which are for CHILDREN, which lures and attracts the little ones) over every other flag, became the litmus test for measuring the “progressiveness”, “civility” and “worthiness” of support of any particular organization, country and movement.

Does this not cause people to THINK, that maybe something is not quite right here?

Why on earth should “progressiveness” be defined by how much one takes pride in the sexual behaviour of a small group of people?

Why on earth should mankind be classified and divided according to their sexual preferences?

Why on earth should anyone be called “hater” and “intolerant” if one says they do not like their children, nor themselves to be exposed to live-porn?

Why on earth should anyone be labeled as “homophobic” If they kindly request from their brothers in humanity to keep bedroom acts where it belongs, in the bedroom, and spare our children the obscenity of premature exposure to unwanted sexuality or nudity?

How can such a request be considered “persecution” and “oppression”?

Logic of the absurd

If you are a Palestinian fighting for the freedom of your people and the liberation of your homeland, you have to give up your alienable rights to the land, and flatly aplogise for not liking very much the idea of sharing your home with your rapists, otherwise you would be called “racist antisemite” who wants to “ethnically cleanse” Jews, “persecute” them and deprive them from their “human rights”.

If you are a Palestinian who cherishes his history and traditional values, you have to give up your ethics and culture, start competing with “israel’s Pride Parade”.

You need to understand that your support for the “gay pride” public celebration of the particular sexuality of a very small segment of the population, is the first and conditional step toward the liberation of your homeland.

In order to succeed in defeating your oppressors, you have to make their sexuality your number one priority; compete with “israel”, organise PPP “Palestinian Pride Parades” which are bigger, more radical and louder than that of “israel”, otherwise you would be seen as a “backward Arab” and you would be called “intolerant homophobe”.

For whose agenda?

We began to feel the pressure demanding to insert sexual orientation as an”integral” part for our movement, which is extremely insensitive and divisive move at this stage of our struggle.

We began to feel the heat of abuse because we express concern for our children and ask for some sensitivity towards our culture

Having the view that sexuality is a private matter does NOT mean one is hateful or homophobic.

Muslim societies are concerned for the welfare of the whole society, and not just the pleasure of a few.

Exhibitionism and public display of sexual activity is deemed harmful for society, specially the most vulnerable and most worthy of protection, namely the children.

Premature exposure of young children to sexuality is like force feeding a newborn with chilli con carne and beefsteak followed by few cigarettes and an alcoholic drink.

Children are not designed or ready to cope with sexual activity as much as babies are not ready to digest heavy meals.

It is not rocket science to know that such early exposure is harmful to children.

When I expressed my concern for children, I was attacked, ridiculed, accused of being “racist”, “Homophobic”, insulted and threatened of being blocked by one prominent activist for Palestine.

Finally,

It is obscene that a self-profiled “supporter” of Palestinians, would completely ignore, reject and campaign to change fundamental aspects of Palestinian culture, ethics, model of society etc.

The Palestinian model of society has been successful in peacefulness, harmony, tolerance and family cohesiveness, since centuries and more, contrary to the imposed “Western” model, which arguably has failed in these respects.

What sort of support are we seeing, when in essence it asks us to abandon our cultural identity?

Love grows forever

Posted on June 26, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

No matter how colourful

No matter how grey

No matter how joyful

No matter how full of pain

No matter what we lose

No matter what we gain

Seen from above

Life is but a game

Captured in a story

Once upon a dream

10262126_490392461100569_9030378200503748136_n

Awakened hearts

Tightly intertwined

Time and space do not contain

No separation no restrain

Nurtured in adoration

Blossoms in drought as in rain

Shins through darkness

A cosmos exploding, supernova plays insane

10919040_10152476950165666_1696693079262503107_n

When injustice becomes the law

When confusion leads many astray

Awakened hearts

Always find a way

10696355_10152382875670666_6744053696956985742_n

Cherishing life, embracing all

Vessels of compassion heeding the call

Without distinction, holding creation big and small

11063513_10152591540125666_5133209562105045671_n

Let there be hearts tender and pure

Floating lilies in a nectar river

Sublime serene, love grows forever

Absurdities

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

BRAINTEASER

Look,

What a viscous “antisemitic” Palestinian apple, trying to bite the poor innocent knife and crunch its bones to pieces

Save the knife from being “ethnically cleansed”

* * *

BRAIN-TWISTER

Zionism is Jewish Nationalism

“israel” is the Jewish state

“israel” is committing Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity

BUT

All the above has absolutely nothing to do with Jews, Jewish people, Jewishness or Judaism

OK ?

A Matter of Love

Posted on May 30, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Your writing is unhinged

Just be careful

Those people can seriously harm you

Aren’t you afraid?

Why do you throw yourself in harm’s way?

Tell me why?

* *

It is not a matter of courage

It is a matter of love

A love so great that every sacrifice worthwhile

All pain bearable

Love of Truth, Justice, Peace and Humanity

Love of gentleness and kindness, compassion and beauty

Love of babies when they’re born

As they take their first step

As they make their first smile

Then from then on, every step of the way

Love of children when they laugh

As they dream of hugging the world

As they giggle when they play

Flattering their wings as they fly

Love of earth running amok

Day and night chasing one another

Hoping to meet by the horizon

Out of breath kissing the sky

Love of oceans as they pound

Racing to sleep on seashore’s lap

Love of mountains as they rise

Love of rivers as the flow

Love of blossoming almond trees

Bridal dress in a magic show

Love of olive trees silver and green

Brushed with wand of a fairy queen

Love of daisies holding hands

and of poppies as they dance

Love of wheat meadows as they sway

Rustic gold in cool summer day

Love of colours, all shades and hues

Twirling dervish, rainbow in prayer

Love of stars and galaxies, big and small

Shimmering deep within my soul

Love of fathers as they gaze

At their little ones dazed with elation

and of mothers as they nurse,

Teeming with love and adoration

Love of life… ALL life

I don’t want to see it harmed

Let alone destroyed

Love of love without which life would literally cease to be

Love of love as it ushers chaos into sublime harmony

Love of love as it explodes,   a million stars

When I look into my beloved’s eyes

I don’t want to see all that go

Do you?

Now, can you see why?

Soul Tears

Posted on May 30, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

When mountaintops are blown up to smithereens

When ancient trees are chopped to pieces

When fish and birds feed on plastic trash

When rivers churn murky and brown

When ocean azure oiled with tar

Anguished and pained

Then, weeps my soul

Chomsky and Palestine

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) concludes that the best way of defending “israel” and countering its de-legitimization is to allow and participate in its criticism.

“I regard myself as a supporter of Israel“ ~~ Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky is a “cultural zionist” who endorses the Jewish Zionist conquest of Palestine: He wants a softer occupation, he does NOT condemn the creation of an alien entity on a land stolen, acquired by military conquest, genocide, terrorism and ongoing atrocities but just merely condemns some mistreatment of Palestinians that give his “israel” he supports, a bad name and bad reputation.

The “master of linguistics”, the prominent scholar, Noam Chomsky, reputed for his accurate, articulate and precise use of correct vocabulary, uses carefully crafted, most suitable words to express his thoughts…. So when he describe the Palestinians as: “essentially caged animals”, what does that tell of him?

Would this “master of linguistics” ever use such words to describe Jews?

This is precisely the Zionist-Jewish hate vocabulary of choice when it comes to Palestinians: “animals”

Noam Chomsky‘s role as a gatekeeper (whether intentional or not) is to deflect attention from:
CRIMES committed by the Jewish-Zionist global network including major false flag operations like 911.

He also deflects attention away from the supremacist ideologies of his tribe by pointing the finger at “imperialism”.

By pointing the finger at US’s crimes, he deflects attention away from the Jewish power inserted inside US governmental institutions, that shape its domestic and foreign policies virtually entirely, even against US self interest.

He is the guru of the Jewish Left, as well as the Left at large.

His influence on stifling the minds of many and framing the progressive liberal discourse should not be underestimated or ignored

Chomsky (the g-d of the Jewish left) is AGAINST the full Liberation of Palestine, thereby arguably against the restoration of International Law. He cares more about the survival of “israel” and the normalization of the Jewish-Zionist project of conquest of Palestine than he cares about the Palestinians’ struggle for liberation.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33030.htm…

Obviously, Chomsky approaches the subject of Palestine from a compromised position, his loyalty is where his heart is, where his tribe is.

Chomsky and most so called Jewish “supporters” are dedicated to the preservation and continuation of the usurping, illegitimate and illegal entity called “Israel”

By their criticism of “Israel’s” behavior instead of its illegitimacy, they deflect from the core of the problem, which is the illegality of “Israel’s” very EXISTENCE, which came to be through TERRORISM, MASSACRES, WARS of CONQUEST and GENOCIDE, crimes ongoing to this day.

By criticizing “israel”, they hope to take the steering wheel from the Jewish “Israeli” right and mellow down the face of an exponential scale ROBBERY and TERROR, into a more acceptable face, which treats the residual Palestinians a teeny weeny better, while Jewish coreligionists KEEP the LOOT.

By easing the barbaric savagery and giving the few residual Palestinians some nominal “rights”, they hope that the International Community will not turn against “Israel” and its global jewish allies.

Both Right and Left (Zionists and anti-Zionists) are dedicated to the illegal preservation of “Israel”

This is the reason why the activity of some Jewish “supporters” can be so detrimental to the Palestinian cause. Their intentions are concealed, and are contrary to / Palestinian aspirations of Freedom and Liberation.

They help preserving and finalizing the Zionist project of KEEPING the LOOT, while providing backup and coverup for the world Jewry support of the openly aggressive Jewish Zionists’ colonization, shielding it against world outrage. Thus causing immeasurable harm to those whom they are pretending to be helping.

Such harm is difficult to discern and it is far more dangerous, because it subdues the victim and leads him to a bleak destiny with total submission, without any resistance.
Those whose individual identity is entangled with “israel” being and remaining a “State for Jews” no matter under what explanation, and no matter at what the cost, cannot be considered genuine supporters of Palestine.

Those individuals whose identity is entangled with “israel” being and remaining a “State for Jews” irrespective of any pretext or explanation, cannot be considered genuine supporters of Palestine, and logically can not be considered neither as genuine defenders of “Human Rights”, to the contrary.

Palestine was a peaceful country for centuries. Since over seventy years it is a country under destructive attack from a foreign Jewish collective unable to integrate peacefully and unwilling to adhere to even the most elementary rules of human cohabitation. The majority of world Jewry Left and Right has been the major overt support of these Crimes, while covert support by deflection and diffusion of resistance, has been provided by some Jews who in essence are accomplices and collaborators of the Crimes they feign to oppose.

Noam Chomsky is part of the latter.

The litmus test of sincerity would be their views with regards to Palestinians’ aspiration of FULL LIBERATION, FULL RETURN of our exiled Nation, and FULL SOVEREIGNTY by Palestinians over our Country.
