Since the operation started in Gaza Strip, more than 300 people killed in two days and two hundred missing and about 160 were in critical condition .
Israel destroyed all the police station and all the Government centers .
police and civilians and children who killed in this operation.

It is hard to describe what is going on in Gaza , a terrible disaster, where the aircraft do not distinguish between civilians and military and children.
At this moment there are tanks in the around Gaza in preparation for the invasion of the Gaza Strip

I am asking the international community to stop what is going on in Gaza I hope to return to ceasefire and move away from violence
Because violence will bring more violence
I will update you with the situation .

This blog is written by 2 friends. One lives in Sajaia refugee camp in Gaza and the other lives in Sderot, a small town near Gaza on the Israeli side. There is ongoing violence between Israel and Gaza which has intensified greatly since October 2000. Many have been killed and many have been injured. The media coverage on both sides has been extremely biased. Our Blog is written by 2 real people living and communicating on both sides of the border.

For a little over a month the cease fire has come to an end.

Yesterday morning my wife and I decided to walk to the fields. I said to her that it may be a mistake to leave our kids alone at home, but she said "we cannot let the rockets control our life". We kept walking, hoping that no rockets will be fired today. After about 15 minutes away from our home we heard the rocket alert. We had no where to hide so we both lay flat on the ground covering our heads. This is the safest thing to do when out in the open while rockets fall.
We heard the rockets fall at a distance and ran quickly home. We called our kids on the cell phone and made sure they were safe. They were all fine inside the safe room. The rockets fell somewhere in an open field, and no one was hurt.

On November 4th Israeli armed forces entered Gaza and as claimed blew up a tunnel that was being dug towards the Israeli border. As a result Palestinian forces attacked the Israeli forces, and the circle of blood has returned...

Since then the region has been slowly but surely moving back into instability. With Qassam rockets and mortars being targeting Israeli communities and Israeli helicopters and tanks targeting Palestinian locations. Several Palestinians have been killed. Several Israelis injured, All people in the region are in fear of further escalation.

We lived for almost 5 months in a ceasefire situation. On my side of the border things had returned to normal and we finally once again felt safe. Kids played freely outdoors, streets filled once again with people, and the constant fear of the rocket alerts had disappeared.

My kids went to sleep in their room again instead of the safe room, and I could walk out to the fields surrounding the town without the fear of being out in the open with no where to hide.

During this time I have been in touch with many friends of mine in Gaza, and from them I heard a very dark and troubling reality.

The siege Israel had imposed on them continued. Basic items were allowed into Gaza, however manufacturing materials and many other items that are needed for normal life were not allowed. They had many power shortages and had very little fuel and cooking gas. People could not enter of leave Gaza and could not start living a normal life since the economic and employment situation remained as it was before.

As Peaceman mentioned, hundreds of Palestinian students and been stranded in Gaza. Some, like Peaceman, have already missed 2 years of academic studies.

Neither side took advantage of these 5 months to work out a solution that will prevent the return of violence, and now it is back. Once again talks about major Israeli attacks on Gaza and major rocket attacks on Israel. Politicians on both sides blaming the other side for the situation and hope for the civilians in the region is once again very slim.

Once again we should all call to end the violence, open the siege, start talking and bring back hope to us, civilians on both sides, pawns in the unbearable senseless political game.

Let us live with dignity, freely, quietly and securely in this region!

What we need is our right of freedom ,to study like every one ,we need from the world to conceder us as human .

Setelah install Fedora (baca posting sebelumnya Ubuntuku malang Fedoraku sayang), ternyata Plymouth yang katanya keren gak muncul di layar Acer saya. Pasti ada apa-apanya nih. Setelah mejelajah rimba belantara internet, akhirnya saya coba langkah-langkah berikut dan berhasil.
Langkah-langkah aktifkan plymouth di Fedora 10:
1. Edit file grub.conf
Caranya:
--------------------------------------------
su -
gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
--------------------------------------------
Lakukan perubahan dengan menambahkan vga=792 pada baris config grub tersebut, sehingga menjadi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,9)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=a61c8338-e373-4389-ae00-32942185f7c2 rhgb quiet vga=792
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angka 792 artinya adalah layar 1280x1024 dengan kedalaman warna 16.8M. angka lain bisa dilihat disini.

2. Kemudian install ulang plymouth dengan cara:
-------------------------------------------------------
su -
yum install plymouth-plugin-{fade-in,pulser,spinfinity}
-------------------------------------------------------

3. Set theme default yang diinginkan dengan cara:
--------------------------------------------
su -
plymouth-set-default-plugin pluginname
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
--------------------------------------------
pluginname ganti dengan fade-in atau pulser atau spinfinity.

4. Restart komputer.

Setelah itu saya bisa melihat plymouth dengan themes pulser seperti yang saya inginkan. Keren....
Selamat mencoba.
Kalo gak berhasil, googling lagi.....
