Dana, your words touch deeply my hart .. and wet my eyes .. I am very thankful for the supportive strength feeling you gave me. Please drop an email to globalpalestine@gmail.com
You can help in French translating ..

other note: If there is only one true thing about indigenous "Palestinity" is that we has been as we want rooted deeply in our lands since birth of human civilization. Today carrying Palestine every where deep in our harts. And here is basic concept for Global Palestine will change the face of the world. We should only tell every Palestinian "Be what YOU ARE", which is the fundament of mental freedom, which no one can take ..
They can put us in boxes, but not our minds. Inside every one of us there is an unending book to read and levels of awareness to discover. Free Palestinians have so much capacity for "REALISTIC" global change. We must be cautious not to be our own occupier!

In the new system, no one have to be excluded.

This is the essence of the beauty of your project, Walid.

Very pleased to read your response to my comment.

I must say, you taught me an important lesson, yesterday, which is that my heavy heart over the daily tragedies in Palestine isn't doing, nor never will do, Palestinians any good. My distress won't bring back the 250 olive trees that were carted off from the Negev, last week, nor will it restore the burnt wheat fields, shattered limbs, lives and minds in Gaza and the WB.

There are constructive things can be done, now. I shall inform the Association France Palestine*, a lively group in France, of your initiative and encourage everyone to contribute in any capacity possible. ie, generally spread the word.

I will remain on stand-by, looking out for the forums you set up.

Your Palestine Brain Project is an excellent statement of purpose.

Bravo to you for your efforts to shatter static mind sets and for providing an essential platform for an organized return to sanity.

Best regards,

Dana

It is actually all in all a psychology struggle for emerging the self. If we keep only pointing on others this will NEVER happen.
The other speciallity and unique thing is the Palestinian-Mind. We are all leaders and have so much capacity to lead our-lives, so that we our PRIDE do not let us listen to each-other. The last years I was thinking how to manage such character and came to many BIG ideas deals with meta-intelligentsia technical solutions to run the whole dynamic so that we all lead.
The issue with the classical leadership as model people used to. Those have the position of power which are used to execute their individual way of thinking which influence the lives of Millions should revise the whole system of governance by innovated system..
In the new system, no one have to be excluded. We need also PLO leaders within and give them the credits they honor ~ a balanced met-intelligence works for all , for life ~

I would be glad to have Dialouge with any one about these things .. pls add me to your skype wael.alsaad

Thanks
Wael

PS: most of what I have been thinking for Palestine google has implemented part of http://wave.google.com/
I wrote in Arabic about "Palestine Brain Application" http://sites.google.com/site/palestinebrain/

"It is wrong to limit the occupation on one dimension in relation to Zionist-occupation.. this will not set our minds-free to develop new innovative paths for a real struggle for better life !"

I can only imagine that your project will give many a new sense of direction, and hopefully eventually eliminate the need to spend a further ounce of energy on anything other than what brings *Palestine* forward.

"When I think about the future I see Palestine is bigger than any borders."

This is exquisite thinking. — If you can't beat 'em, do even better than that :-)

It appears that people in Gaza are already beginning to take things into their hands. I came across a youtube clip, the other day, of a group that was busy raising walls of adobe [clay] brick. Super! No sense in waiting for the Zionist entity to let cement in.

Others, in the absence of cooking fuel, have built clay ovens. And I'm sure there's much more innovation going on than just these examples.

I'm going to follow all your links and your blog, closely. It's been so uplifting to learn of your project.

Laila @all,
i wrote you about a page in the comment box which is gone according to wrong key combination :(

The Palestinian issue is very very complicated. It made of me a young spiritual-integral thinker, a creative Generalist and socio-psycho-analyzer.
The meaning of being Palestine has r-evolutionary changed my life ~
I see the Palestinian issue as a projection of most of our global issues and challenging the word- (dis)"order"! To stand in the bulk-eye of the hurricane smashing our humanity is being Palestinian.

Today we touch new quality of our human existence, how much interconnected we are and how our thinking and action are interdependence, so that the manifestation of the fact that we all responsible for the reality taking place is larger.
Taking the self-enrollment, self-awareness aside and focusing on the blaming and denying is consciousness-killing. Looking for links and constructive interdependencies is very hard road but very much excited and beautiful, because it is combined with holistic emergence in our interconnected world/ecosystem.
If you think social-justice is to get through the world we know, than it is wrong. A world lead by Power-execution-culture will not develop solution with formulas that has created the issues! Radical innovation must take other roles, other path, but starting from where we are.

Which world we want and how to get their? What is the different between what we want and what we have? Are we thinking in reality or naïve reality driven by wishful-thinking, others are responsible? Do you know really why things are like what they ARE? Do we understand enough to predict next innovated actions, which will evolve sustain process of TRANSFOMRAITON?

What we predict, the next point of transformation is very essential. Time is now means, there is actually no next. But there is an imagination of real future and prediction is now. To focus on history as reference will not bring us to any better FUTURE for all of us.

It is wrong to limit the occupation on one dimension in relation to Zionist-occupation.. this will not set our minds-free to develop new innovative paths for a real struggle for better life ! Couple of years a go I have started to write about the dimensions of occupation, saying that Palestine should not be re-occupied. Occupation in our Power-world is a complex-matrix with many dimensions reaching ourselves.

You may ask what all this has to do with my project. Well, if we really build Palestine and our nation from inside our influence on the reality will emerge. The transformation process will take place. All of you must come and see deeply what kind of social-economic life conditions we have in Westbank. Destructive chaos and criminality is daily business. Many young people are without work. Hundreds from Jenin for example immigrated to Norway. Thousands form villages immigrated to Ramallah to get their living ..
Time is now. And now we must develop the communities in Palestine. This is possible under occupation and with in/formal international support and Oslo accords. Please take in consideration that I am one of who was damming Oslo and calling for dissolving PA for years. I was all of the time questioning PLO as representative and Israel’s legality. Now I think with my idea there is something better I can do. So lets talk about Building Palestine NOW without bending our development with Israel.

BTW: Check what I wrote about border-less Palestine. The majority still see Palestine with colonial boundaries from early last century.
http://www.palestinianmothers.com/forum/topics/building-new-palestine-what-is
To think about the past is easy, but to build something to create new realities in the future is not. When I think about the future I see Palestine is bigger than any borders.

Actually I am not politician and you see my free writing is average. Without the help of the great friends I have I won’t be able to publish the article. But still I do my best to find new way of thinking to challenge the Reality.

Something else about the article: you may like to translate into Spanish.
The latest version is placed here: http://globalpalestine.blogspot.com/
Innovative broad model for Green Business is not an easy job. I think in Basque region there are good models for developing rural communities based on economy-

I would be glad to have any support, especially to be in the near-hood of the idea to keep it growing.

Thanks and sorry for the long reflection

"Equity and direct ownership of complete system of production:
Re-invest in community, a diverse community
Ecological stewardship:
Social, economic and political construction
Green-Business-Products:
Agriculture, Farming: Food, beauty and care, Botanicals. herbal medicine, Ecotourism and wellness (local and foreign), Indigenous handicraft, Green industry (evolving):
Water Conservation and Management, housing and construction, Consulting and Solutions"

so you do, as you state, have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from.

Good luck, this project is inspiring.

I´m very connected with the Palestinian community in Spain (I have Syrian origin mysefl), and their different initiatives, so if I can be any help… count me in!

Thanks for your positive energy, which is very much needed :)

I am not gene-scientist, but when such a culture is many thousands of years old, it become part of the "human race". Even the majority are involved in modern industrialized gray selfish-society, missing the ingeniousness, they will re-construct their habits and way of living very fast, when new alternative is build.
One note: Many would think thinking about economy this way would be socialism or communism, which is not! It is new sort of free market. It is new alternative to live in freedom with healthy economic

I wish you every success
