Update 05.12.2012 We are all Hamza Alkhateeb

With all due respect to all world leaders, including president Obama, Killing is killing whether it’s with chemical weapons or cluster bombs or missiles. That’s why ASSad has to be stopped.

Using a knife to kill is the same as using a gun, is the same as using missiles!! What we understand from the official’s statements is that it’s OK if ASSad killed people, children, massacred them as long as he is not using chemical weapons. Well, if they look at it like that, we have to say that they need to re-examine the principles and beliefs they believe in!

Human life is a human life, whether it’s wasted with a bullet or a missile or a chemical weapon, IT REMAINS A HUMAN LIFE AND EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO PUT AN END TO IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND CONDEMNED. AFTER MORE THAN 45 THOUSAND MARTYRS, WORLD OFFICIALS ARE SAYING THIS.
