Facebook and the Middle East

There has been talk flying around like it was bird’s mating season about this whole Facebook and what it is doing to the middle east. Really, I don’t think it is a factor, but just another communication tool used to get the word out there.

I could have done it with mass e-mailing. Like endless email forwarding (do people still forward emails?). Or just underground methods using some obscure communication languages to do the same old crap.

However, Facebook was used because it was plain and simple. It was clear that people were frustrated and wanted to openly say they were. So what? What’s wrong with it? Is it the whole generation gap thing again? Because I can tell you, my mother is not happy with what Facebook has done, but she doesn’t know how or why or who is causing it. It’s the Facebook Middle East Conspiracy theory.

I just think it was just about time. No conspiracy. Nothing.

Think of it this way. You are mad. You are angry. You not only want change, but you want to see a huge difference that not only effects you, but generations to come. I know from being an Arab, I have this fire inside of me that is always ready to get out. I have witnessed so much unbelievable crap in my life time through TV, radio, any other type of media out there and it really pisses me off. So can you imagine millions of Arab youths having this same feeling?

Me X millions = shit inevitably will happen..

So, for the Arabs in the middle east who clearly have one incentive, just don’t give up, but remember, “Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.” I am disappointed with some things going on, but the rest of you guys, good rebellion.

So, peace in the middle east and God protect the holy land!
