Whether Somalis brought it on themselves or not - those kids didn't do shit to deserve it and they need sadaqo more than those well-fed Palestinians. Palestine has a political issue, Somalia has an apocalyptic humanitarian crisis. Fix your own backyard, THEN worry about your DISTANT neighbors.

Yahud have not harmed Somalis unlike the Ethiopians that you and your kinfolk wholely support

But I wasn't even going there..I was just talking to you on a personal level.

Your right, but there is absulutely no need for you to post the pictures comparing two sets of troubled children just to make a point. This is not unicef, your not asking for aid on their behalf, and i doubt you have any reason for posting those pics other than just being a d!ckhead.
the thing is, with somalis... no matter how much shid goes on... we have some semblance of freedom, the palestinians are completely occupied.... i mean the somali civil war can end tomorrow... the israeli occupation is more in depth than that
anyway our conflict is worse, more have died in shorter time and its muslim on muslim...
first of all, we are all muslims and we are all going back to allah one day. when our brothers and sisters are getting brutally murdered, with phosphorous bombs that burn human flesh, WE SHOULD HAVE A STRONG REACTION. these are people that are facing tremedous hardship FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH...most of u seem to be under the impression that jews are of no concern to u but the truth is if they could get ahold of u, they would do the same thing if not worse.
ALLAH's enemy should be our enemy. Prophet Muhammad SAW said that there would be a group of muslims that would be fighting for islam and they would reside in jerusalam...it truly breaks my heart that somalis don't care, EVEN NON MUSLIMS CARE. these people are the most terrorized people in the world and they STILL STAND and say it's for your sake ALLAH.. what will we say when we return to allah?
am not saying that we shouldn't look out for our people but you boycotting against the isreals is helping muslims in Gaza. Just make duahs for them and send your money to somalia. We all know that the money we send doesnt go to those children pictured above so stop the dam.n excuses.
im with navy on this.
yahuud never did to us more than we have done to each other and all this is consequesces of our past mistakres. nothing happened to us was over night.
was long term of corruption, greed, selfishness and bad culcalations from our part.

It is sad that Muslims haven't gotten together and gone against the gaalo(jews). It makes me sad wallahi that "we" somalis have no concern about whats going on in Gaza. When money was being collected in my city, most of the people were saying "why should we send our money to Gaza when people in somalia need it." Somali ppl chose to fight over qabil and who takes power, they chose to continue to fight for almost two decades because they can't decide what qabil should take power rather than choosing a worthy leader regardless of their qabil.
I was watching this clip on youtube today and sat on the computer for hours looking at the pain and tourment that the muslims in Gaza are going through. I now more than ever hate the jews and may allah swt burn them in hell.
Last week my 19 yr old cousin came to sleep over my house and this topic came up. She said why aren't the muslims getting together and why aren't they doing something?!.
That had me thinking because all "we" muslims tend to say that. What are you as a muslim doing for the muslims around the world?!
BOYCOTT!!! I don't know why people are still sitting in Starbucks when your dollars are being shipped to Isreal. Still eating Mcdonalds and buying isreali products. The reward might be greater than you think. May Allah keep the people in Gaza safe and protect the. AMIN!
when young children start speaking like their 40. Manshallah.
why we should stand by Gaza.
NOpe not my duty, what did the fcking A-rabs did for me ?? nothing
what did the jew did for me ?? well i live in the USA so i guess they gave citizenship and opportunity to go to school and work
so who should i support ??? Yahuud

yeah but somalia's fixing of political issue would be a catalyst to less starving children as well
What's happening to the Palestinians is something you would not wish for any human being, however, the question is, are they fighting in the path of Allah and to raise His word and the Sunnah or, are they fighting to appease the gaalo when they chose Democracy over Shareeca? Besides, not all Palestinians are Muslims.
Also, do you know (I just found out recently) that most Palestinians hate Somalis? It's because of a PLO hijacked plane (Lufthansa) that landed in Mogadishu airport and Siad Barre ordered their massacre and freed the plane.
Fah, navy and shilka among few others have a point.
When America was about to invade Iraq only Iran, Malaysia and Indonesia non of them Arab, voiced their concern of the imminent destruction of Iraq and suggested imposing some oil sanctions against Bush and his friends. Saudi Arabia's representative in the meeting had a press release and promised to increase his country's daily output in order to compensate whatever Iran and other nations stop pumping. These are the same people who who helped invited the British which in return planted the state of Israel their midst. No one likes to see those kids being killed by Israel's war machine but the problem lies within the Arabs. Today, although among wealthiest nations in the world in terms of revenue/population, non of the Arab countries is fully industrialized and non of them belongs to group 23 most technological advanced nations. They have been unhappy and backward society since Alexander the great's time.
Allah blessed them with Prophet Mohamed PBOH, his revolution and the oil wealth but they seem to be oblivious to their surroundings. Israel and the current situation is only a by-product of long standing history. Inkartii cismaniyiintaa haysta.
i hear you sister Afraa. but insha'alah the muslims will rise again. we will unite. just stay strong, and do what you can for our dying brothers even if that one Dua a day!
Let's not be deluded folks. Muslim Unity is a fallacy at this stage given the current socio and economical situation most Islamic countries are in. We as Somalis should worry about progressing ourselves individually and community before we can step up to the likes of Israel, our alleged enemy. Come to think of it, we should emulate them and can learn a lot from them. We ought to learn to walk before we can run.
