I Resist: Like Never Before

A campaign aimed at bringing awareness as well as building up a global resistance towards Israel due to the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people as been posting videos online over the past few months. This group of individuals from various backgrounds working within Lebanon started their discussions prior to the Israel invasion of Gaza earlier this year. While they were trying to come up with a name for their campaign, they struggled with the idea of whether to draw parallels to other oppressive situations (such as South Africa) in our history. They decided that it was more important to recognize the power that resistance has and so they decided that this resistence was something we have not had before. “Never Before” as they coined it because they urge people to recognize our historical resistances but this time, “Resist, like Never Before.”

Their videos are strong, powerful and full of truth. I ask all of you to watch them all. Go to their youtube page and subscribe to their channel. The first one appears above, two more appear below and more appear on their channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/neverbeforecampaign

But most of all, after viewing these videos, write about your own feelings, your own resistance. How are you going to bring attention to the Palestinian cause? Are you going to sit and be silent? Or are you going to stand up and let your voice be heard? Blog about it, pass along these videos to your family and friends. Write letters to your congressmen, leaders & media outlets. Do not let your voice go unheard, do not stop resisting against the oppressive force of Israel.

This must end, this must end now. I Resist, Like Never Before. Sending love & prayers to my Palestinians friends. Stay Strong, stay firm & fight.
