When people have a problem
seeing my picture in social media
because I am a girl
When people have an issue with me laughing
loudly in the street
because I am a girl
When I get a chance for a scholarship
and my family won’t let me accept it
because I am a girl
When I lose my favorite job for not being allowed
to travel across the provinces
because I am a girl
When I go to a meeting and am welcomed by men
handing me phone numbers
because I am a girl
When I reject his proposal
and am blackmailed
because I am a girl
When I wait on the street
and people judge me by how I look
because I am a girl
When I arrive a bit late
and must answer questions
because I am a girl
It hurts me when being a girl
means facing all this

update – About 100 foreign and Palestinian activists with the Committee to Resist Settlements and the Wall, the government-run protest organization that Abu Ein headed, were on their way to plant trees and protest near an Israeli settlement when they were stopped at an improvised checkpoint, witnesses said.
A group of around 15 Israeli soldiers fired tear gas at the protesters and began scuffling with them.
Abu Ein was struck by a hand to the neck during an altercation with two of the soldiers, and was rushed away in an ambulance shortly afterwards, the Reuters photographer said.

Two versions of this being circulated – in the other story, he died after being struck by a tear gas canister.
A senior Palestinian official died Wednesday after being beaten by Israeli forces during a protest march in the occupied West Bank, medical and security sources told AFP.
Ziad Abu Ein, who was in charge of dealing with the issue of Israeli settlements within the Palestinian Authority, “was martyred after being beaten in the chest,” said Ahmed Bitawi, the director of the Ramallah hospital.
A Palestinian security source told AFP that Israeli forces beat Abu Ein with the butts of their rifles and their helmets during a protest march in the village of Turmus Ayya near Ramallah.

Growing maize/corn for biogas is just plain stupid but helpful for Monsanto; which helps daily to kill the planet and us faster.
The Anaerobic Digestion brigade is continuing to produce hot air and gas in the run up to the General Election, in the hope of extracting some policy promises from any of the parties who might have a say in the future of this industry.
Yesterday saw a conference by the Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association at which it was claimed that AD produced a good quality fertiliser, in the form of the digestate left behind after the methane has been produced. In reality, what is produced is a good soil conditioner, not a good fertiliser. This study on digestate from farm slurry found found no increase in nutrient value but that there was an increased risk of Ammonia pollution; which causes environmental harm and human health problems. This review confirmed that most of the N available from digestate is in the form of active Ammonium, which can be released into…
