All we in the West ever hear about Gaza concerns the Hamas Party-Militia or the conflict between its Palestinians and the Israeli army.
Some Gaza youth did a cover of Pharrell Williams’s “Happy” to show a different side of the 1.7 million people in the Gaza Strip:
Thank you for this, Juan. I’m crying after this Happy video. The sheer and unbelievable and massive missed opportunity since 1948 is just heartbreaking. People are people; period.
Dear all,
I have just seen your Happy Gaza video. Well done! While the worst things happen in life, we still need to find things to be happy about! Palestinian people find these everyday happiness everywhere they live, because surely without it they could not survive. I only wish that other issues are solved in such a way that, you all can be really happy.
I started this petition with only that in mind. I hope you can find it in your hearts to support it too. I really am looking forward to see your signatures under this petition. If you read the update section of the petition in Change.org, you will see that people like Noam Chomsky and Haim Bresheeth signed both the petitions, at Avaaz and Change, please so do all of you!
For happier days to come!
With kind regards,
Sibel
