Fighting Apathy

Notes

Youtube was blocked. No one could enter it. Also dailymotion and other websites. Most of us were Muslims but they would not let us pray in mosques. Anyone who went to mosques went to jail. This was when Ben Ali was the president, but now we have our freedom.
This is a quote from a 17-year-old Tunisian boy, Mohamed, who was a part of the revolution.

Dictators like Assad and Gadhafi have spent decades distracting their people from their own misrule by scapegoating Israel and keeping the Palestinian problem festering. It’s revealing to see them turn against the Palestinians now that they’re in trouble. Once they are gone, there may be a real chance to deal constructively with the Palestinians.

Justin Bieber shares his opinions on several issues

“I don’t really agree with war either, necessarily. I think everyone should just get along. I don’t understand why people attack. What’s the point of killing people-power? If no one cared about power, then no one would have wars. Canada doesn’t go around attacking people…Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills…I really don’t believe in abortion-it’s like killing a baby!” -Justin Bieber, Rolling Stone Magazine
