first I'd like to than rose for the beautiful logo.

the idea for this group sprung to my mind after I receive a message from Mohamad sh.

he wrote:

Dear everyone,

As you all see my list, i have a 120 friends, part of them palestinian, others from israel and also some from other arab countries and others like USA , EU, and more, i would like to ask a sensitive question to my friends from israel, and also other are welcome to answer it: everyone of us here talking peace, and about peace, and sounds for me life on this is is so great and lovely, seems no hatred and racism, no occupation and war, from big part of the comments i read mostly we say: we want peace, and here is my question: WHEN WE SAY PEACE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS NICE WORD, WHAT KIND OF PEACE WE WANT, WHERE COULD BE OUR LIMITES, BORDERS AND WHAT CAN WE GIVE TO MAKE PEACE REAL, LOTS OF QUESTIONS THAT FOR SURE NEED A DEEP THINKING TO SATISFY OUR NEEDS.
THANKS

So I answered:

That a really good question. I thank you for it, Mohamad. Peace means a great deal of different things to many people. It is a very personal question. I can tell you about the first things that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of peace. I see no more wars. I see a time when my grandchildren don't have to spend 3 years of their lives in the army. I see equality and respect between peoples and nations. I see my Arab friends come to visit me at home, I see us going to the beach together. I see myself hanging out with my Lebanese friends in Beirut. But most of all, I see myself being able to get in the car with my dad (who is 87 years old) and 2 sons, and drive to Baghdad, Iraq, through Jordan or Syria. In Baghdad he takes us to the house he was born in, and to all the places he told us so many stories about. There, we close a circle.
These dreams might sound trivial to many, but these simple acts have been denied of so many people in the Middle East.

What would I give for REAL peace? Almost everything.


Then I thought, why limit it to Mohamad's friends. It's an important question. Why not open it up for everybody in iPeace?

Last summer I attended a lecture by Arun Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) & Mairead Corrigan Maguire (Nobel Peace Prize winner) in the Scottish Parliament, here in the historic & beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Mairead spoke of nurturing & cultivating love & peace within yourself, and then sharing it. Arun quoted his Grandfather who spoke of the seed of peace. If this seed is kept in a box it will wither & die. However, if the seed is exposed to the elements it will grow & flourish!

The message is clear, share your peace & let it grow & flourish.

And, with this in mind, please embrace the philosophy behind this movement and share your passion for peace by reaching out and inviting your friends.

Never lose faith in humanity, because it is like an ocean. Just because there are a few drops of dirty water in it, does not mean that he is completely dirty. (Mahatma Gandhi
Love feeds on emotions and truths, not gossip and do not accept lies, dies turns away for long from its source
But love is a seed that is planted and need daily care.
Like everything in nature that needs attention, love is made of small gestures of kindness, dialogue and attention.
Love, contrary to what most people think, does not need pyrotechnics or helicopter throwing rose petals.
Sometimes a short little note, it is more sincere and full of emotions that a beautiful gift of feeling empty.

Nunca perder la fe en la humanidad, porque es como un océano. Sólo porque hay unas cuantas gotas de agua sucia en ella, no quiere decir que está completamente sucio. (Mahatma Gandhi
El amor se alimenta de las emociones y las verdades, no chismes y no aceptar la mentira, se muere por mucho tiempo se aleja de su fuente
Pero el amor es una semilla que se siembra y la necesidad de cuidado diario.
Como todo en la naturaleza que requiere atención, el amor está hecha de pequeños gestos de bondad, el diálogo y la atención.
El amor, al contrario de lo que muchos piensan, no necesita de pirotecnia o helicóptero lanzando pétalos de rosa.
A veces una pequeña nota corta, es más sincero y lleno de emociones que un hermoso regalo de la sensación de vacío.

Are you comfortable? Have you had your dinner? Will you be well covered when you go to bed tonight?

And you still can't afford 5$ that will feed 5 people who haven't eaten for 5 days in Haiti?

I am mad as hell today. What are we good for? Why do we go and check ourselves in to groups with names like iPeace, Positive People and The Global We?

Maybe we should rename all these 'peace' groups to 'We, the global bulshitters'.

How easy is it for us to turn a blind eye when we have to reach for our wallets!

A few days ago I messaged more than 25,000 people and asked them to donate as much as they can to the survivors of the horrible earthquake in Haiti through the cause "iPeace for Haiti Earthquake Survivors". Mercycorps has promised us to pass every dollar to the hungry survivors.

http://apps.facebook.com/causes/190745

You ask yourself how much money we raised? 150$

Hurray to us! Shall we talk a bit more about not buying plastic bottles? Praying for world peace or how many empty facebook names we managed to collect in our facebook groups?

Shall we give ourselves another pat on the shoulder?

Be my guests. But do it without me.

Because I am out of this meaningless 'peace business'

over and out

It is important that we bring a helping hand to the people of Haiti to relieve their sufferings not only through the devastating eartquakes but also through the bad governance since their gaining indepedence from France. We have to be careful and not to go on doing the same mistakes. As an architect, urban and town planner we should, after the chaotic situation reigning there has to stand still, start re building the infrastructures and the buildings. We should start now in establising a masterplan so that we can offer the Haitians a sustainable environment. We should act quickly and not wait for Godot.

As far as the funds is concerned who is going to monitor those funds and have those allocated to the right people or association?
