Youth manifesto in Gaza

The fact that young and secular people from Gaza are fed-up with their fate is a good start. The "f" word might resume a situation when the words could help too much in expressing the despair. Of course, they might introduce some "anti" remarks about Israel, because otherwise they will be accused of acting against their fellows (this is a lame excuse, anyway, as the future belongs to those who dare to go beyond the stereotypes). What annoys me is that they don't want to get involved into politics. This is exactly the point: go involved into politics, make your own parties, enter the elections and write down your wishes for a country with clean and functional institutions. This is the key for the future, not persisting in the "f-word" atttitude.
