Cancellation of any form of New Year celebration…?????? C’mon!!!! I am deeply heartened with what’s happening in Gaza. I am very angry with what Israel has done. If I could do anything to ease the pain of all of those who suffers in that place I will do it… and I think the best time is on New Year’s eve. To give them a bit of joy, a little smile and a few moments of happiness to replace all those pain inside them. So I dont think cancellation of New Year celebrations signify that you don’t condone those atrocities done by Israel, it doesn’t also means that you dont symphatize with those who are grieving. New Year celebrations signify new beginnings, those revelries and noises being made are done to ward off evil and welcome fresh hopes and good luck.
