Resist, persist , and you don't even have to sign

What is resistance?

Resistance is not only about taking up arms. Bless those who have the guts to do so. Pray for them. They are the pure from amongst us. Putting their lives on the front line , risking it all, losing it all sometimes. Yes bless them because only a few have what it takes.

But there are also other forms of resistance. And trust me you don't need to sign your name either. It is all recorded, your name, address and date of birth. All you need to do is join us.

Join us in spirit, join us in soul, join us with your words, with your letters, with your cries, with your exclamations, with your tears, with your sighs ...
It does not matter, just join us. You give us strength even if you don't know it. It is all recorded. It is recorded in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Lebanon . We forget no one. We are the spears and the arrows and you are the archers.
