RALEIGH, N.C. -
A group of students protesting violence in Gaza gathered in Raleigh Monday.
The peaceful protest, organized by the Muslim American Society and students from all over North Carolina, took place from 2 to 6 p.m. near the Bell Tower at North Carolina State University.
"We will not be silent while the inhumanities continue to occur to the people of Gaza," the students said in a press release. "Over 400, if not over 500 deaths have been reported. If the people in Gaza are not dying because of Israel's year-long blockade which denies even the UN to enter with necessary food and medical supplies, then they are dying because of their unjust air-strikes against them.

so, Muhamed Christopher Goldstein
Do you have your neighbor under house arrest, do you determine how much food and water and electricity they get, did you force your neighbor to live in the house by displacing them from their house and living in it your self.
in fact for the analogy to work, your “neighbors” would be living the toolshed of their former home, while you lived in their house, and set up huge watchtowers around it and barbed wire and controlled their lives.

If you’re neighbor were firing bullets at random into your house from across the street, what would you do? It’s horrible what Hamas does to those poor Palestinian people. Hiding behind women, children and families. They need help rooting that cancer from their society. I haven’t read the whole story, but I’m assuming this peaceful protest written about above is calling attention to how Hamas is victimizing the Palestinian people right? Is this correct? This outrage is against Hamas’ abduction of Gaze, right?

Can you many supporters of MSA please comment on the indiscriminate firing of explosive rockets at random into crowded population centers in Israel? Are you okay with this? Will you please acknowledge this reality and perhaps reveal your position on this?

To all concerned
“ All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is people, politicians, and political leaders around the world either stay mum or shift the blame onto oppressed, occupied, and tormented”
What Israel is doing in the name of security onto impoverished and victimized Palestinians is a solid and ultimate State Sponsored Terrorism and same is true about India who has turned divided Kashmir into massive concentration camp on the Top of World.
As a naturalized Kashmir born American Citizen, disabled American Veteran and Forensic psychiatrist, I plead to my current president, Hon. President Bush to stop all aid to Israel and freeze the any relationship with India.
I suggest to incoming president elect, Hon. Barrack Obama to appoint outgoing president as special envoy to permanently, peacefully and amicably solve Israel-Palestinian Conflict and Hon. former President Bill Clinton to erase the line of conflict [LOC] between the divided people of Kashmir.
Yours truly,

Don’t trust MSA? Wow, that’s amazing; it’s a student association bringing together people of Muslim faith and those interested in learning about it; they have picnics and Muslim scholars come in to speak about different topics-- if that is dangerous, then so is Campus Crusades. I invite you to go to any MSA meeting and see for yourself if MSA is oh so dangerous.

To DON’T TRUST MSA:
You are a liar. Lying “will come back to haunt you”. Hamas did not break the ceasefire. As reported by a Jew from Israel (see N&O;link http://www.newsobserver.com/opinion/columns/story/1354055-p2.html
Dion Nissenbaum, McClatchy’s Jerusalem correspondent, gives a good account of the Israeli information blockade on his blog, at the McClatchy Web site, http://www.McClatchydc.com.
“In essence, Israel has transformed the entire Gaza Strip into a closed military zone,” he writes. “Reporters from every major news organization, from the BBC and CNN to The New York Times and The Washington Post to NPR and McClatchy to AP and Fox News, are being barred by Israel from going into Gaza to cover the deadliest military campaign there since Israel seized the area from Egypt in the 1967 war.” He also says it was Israel, not Hamas, that first broke the cease-fire, which Hamas subsequently refused to renew.

Kudos to these protesters. They have EVERY right to protest Israel’s brutal attack on Gaza which have caused the deaths of hundreds of innocent Gazans. What Israel is doing in the Palestinian territories is a crime against humanity and no person with a conscience should ever remain silent in the face of such abominable excesses.

The protest sign says stop the blood but you in arabic say this:
“With our souls and blood we redeem you, O Palestine!”
Where was your protest of Hamas Qassam rocketing before the ceasefire expired? Your loyalties will come to haunt you. You are dabbling with terrorist entities.

MSA advances a different agenda among impressionable college students. Through conferences and events, publications, websites and other activities, MSA disseminates and promotes militant Islamic ideologies. This dossier is on MSA-National as well as the numerous chapters of MSA formally affiliated with MSA-National.
