p2pnet news | Freedom:- p2pnet has said many times that for the first time in history, ordinary people everywhere are able to freely talk to each other at any time of the day and night, completely bypassing the traditional media, which used to be our sole means of information and communication.

It’s changing the shape of not only what we say, but how we say it and it’s forcing the Powers That Used To Be in commerce and government to finally recognize they depend on us, not the other way around.

The Net is an extension of ourselves and through it, we can say what we think and nowhere is that more evident than on the gaza-sderot.blogspot.

It’s written by two friends, Hope Man and Peace Man.

One lives in Sajaia refugee camp in Gaza and the other lives in Sderot, a small town near Gaza on the Israeli side.

“There is ongoing violence between Israel and Gaza which has intensified greatly since October 2000,” says the blog.

“Many have been killed and many have been injured. The media coverage on both sides has been extremely biased.

“Our Blog is written by 2 real people living and communicating on both sides of the border.”

One Month Initiative

“As you are all aware Gaza is facing death for four days, around hundred and ten people have been killed and more than three hundred injured, half of them is Civilians, and children’s the civilians in both sides are still paying the price,” says Peace Man’s most recent entry, going on >>>

Rockets are still falling on Sderot and Gaza, and force couldn’t stop it .

I don’t know what they are waiting for more people to die.

I can hear the helicopters and planes and machine gun shooting all the time. I think this night wont be easy.

Every day I talk with my friend Hope man ,we hear the helicopter and machine gun at the same time .

We are trying to stop the ongoing escalation through One Month initiative.

As I said earlier we are the majority, and you are the strength and hope .

When more people join us, we can achieve our aims in stopping the blood and violence.

Says Hope Man >>>

Today over 50 people were killed in the hostilities.

This is a deadly and useless path that feeds the fire of hatred with even more actions on both sides and after much too much suffering will end with a cease fire.

What’s the point?

Many of our blog readers have asked us what they can do to help?

I spoke today with Peace man and we agreed to start an active initiative.

We ask from our Leaders to give us One Month cease fire. Time to stop all hostile actions and give us and our leaders time to rethink and evaluate the situation.

For us the citizens under continuous attacks, this will give a true break, that we so badly need. For our leaders. It will allow time to figure out a different way out of this dead lock.

You can sign our petition here: www.one-month.org

Please spread the word. We need as many people as possible to join us. Send the link to your friends, relatives, acquaintances.

- Give us a break -

We, citizens of Gaza, Sderot and people all over the world desperately call you, our leaders and decision makers, to completely cease fire immediately.

Both sides are in a dead lock and One Month will give all parties an opportunity to rethink their policy and to find new paths out of this senseless and hopeless reality.

All we ask for is One Month
