EFFECTS OF POPULATION GROWTH IN MOROCCO
It's a fact that day by day population in Morocco is increasing, and this causes many social, economic, and environmental problems. The main purpose of this essay is to discuss the three main effects of overpopulation in Morocco.
The first major effect of overpopulation in Morocco is unemployment. First of all, there aren't enough sources of jobs in Morocco, so only the most prepared people get a job. This is a great social and economic problem because people who don't work get frustrated and can't support their families.
The second effect of overpopulation in Morocco is the low quality of public services. Natural resources, like water or food, aren't enough for so many people, so there is a lot of thirst and hunger in the country. Also, the level of education is quite low because there are a lot of children or young people who must study, and there are not enough schools or teachers. The same happens with health; hospitals aren't capable of giving attention to all the people who need it, so there are a lot of diseases.
The most significant effect of overpopulation in Morocco is the high level of pollution. Because a great number of people must go by cars, buses and taxis to their jobs at the same time, amazing traffic jams are caused. This, together with the noise caused by vehicles and people, causes a great amount of pollution. Also, every day people generate a lot of trash, and this pollutes both water and ground.
All the effects of over population that I have said make a cycle. For example, pollution causes diseases, and these diseases can't be attended because of the insufficient hospitals. That's why I think that we must find a way to organize all the people who live in this country, so we could live in a better environment and have a better quality of life. We must also learn to take care of the natural resources and think of those who are coming. If we don't stop spending our resources and polluting, the next generations will have a huge problem.
Finally, I think that Morocco needs to generate more sources of jobs, so everybody can work and satisfy their needs.

2BAC WRITING ACHOURA IN MOROCCO
ACHOURA IN MOROCCO
In Morocco, children of every age celebrate Achoura Festival on the tenth day of Muharram. Families traditionally gather together to have special meals and offer zakat to the poor. Street celebrations, bonfires, and fireworks are other common ways of celebrating Achoura.
Trade, in toys and Taarija drums, is busy as the holiday gets closer. Stores of every size from the working class neighbourhood shops to large shopping centres stock new merchandise just for the Achoura celebration. Dolls, plastic guns, cars, masks, and every other toy imaginable are available. Toys for every budget make choices for the children and family difficult to make.
Some of the shop keepers will even put toys on the floor so that the smallest of the shoppers have access. In addition to the toys, sales of the Taarija drums are on the rise this time of year. They are a long time tradition of the Morocco festival. Children and adults will usually buy a new drum every season. Some have been collecting the Moroccan drums for many years. Friends and families will meet on the big day to play their drum while singing and dancing in Morocco.
Children take the celebrations to the street during the Achoura Festival. Most of them are waiting in anticipation for the big day of Zem Zem. Sharing a name with a well in Mecca, children are free to spray other children and adults with water. Bonfires are lit when evening comes. Participants, wearing new clothes, will sing, leap, and dance around the fires late into the night. In prior years children would set off rockets. This activity has been banned by the government because lack of supervision lead to many serious accidents involving children. Rocket sales are still made by the black market traders and in outlying villages.
On the 10th of Mouharram, which is Achoura Day, Moroccan families prepare a special couscous dish. It’s couscous with dried mutton ( guedid ). This spicy and tasteful meat is kept from the Sacrifice Feast, Aid Al Adha, until Achoura. In the evening, families and neighbours will meet together for a special meal of dried fruits ( hagouza ) and candies of all sorts and colours.
In some remote areas in Morocco, people still keep some traditions which no longer exist in urban ones. In the morning of Achoura Day, children wearing their traditional clothes and chanting “ bida bida lalla “ go from house to house asking the residents for some eggs, a piece of dried mutton or dried fruits, maybe a Halloween with a Moroccan flavour. Before noon, they decide where they are going to celebrate Achoura. One of the families of the village receives them and prepares a collective couscous dish with the meat they have collected in the morning. Many families and their children share in the feast.

JEWISTAN: FINALLY RECOGNIZING ISRAEL AS THE JEWISH STATE
JEWISTAN: FINALLY RECOGNIZING ISRAEL AS THE JEWISH STATE
By Francis Boyle - Law Professor Illinois University
Israel’s Likudnik Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached into his bag of Zionist tricks and pulled out a brand-new demand that had never surfaced before in the history of the Middle East Peace Process going all the way back to their beginning with the negotiation of the original Camp David Accords conducted under the personal auspices of U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 1978: The Palestinians must recognize Israel as “the Jewish State.” Not surprisingly, the Zionist controlled and funded Obama administration publicly endorsed this latest roadblock to peace that was maliciously constructed by Israel.
Netanyahu deliberately shifted the goal-posts on the Palestinians. It would be as if the United States of America demanded that Iran recognize it as the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) State as a condition for negotiating and then concluding any comprehensive peace settlement with it. Of course such demands are racist and premeditated non-starters to begin with.
Netanyahu’s racist ultimatum would lead to the denationalization of the 1.5 million Palestinians who are already less than third-class citizens of Israel and set the stage for their mass expulsion to the Palestinian Bantustan envisioned by Netanyahu as the “final solution” to Zionism’s “demographic problem” created by the very existence of the Palestinians. This racist and genocidal demand would also illegally terminate the well-recognized Right of Return for five million Palestinian refugees living around the world as required by U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194(III) of 1948, by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 13(2) (1948), and by general principles of public international law, international humanitarian law, and human rights law. This would doom all prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians forever, and pave the way for the creation of “Greater Israel” dominating the entire former Mandate for Palestine, both of which objectives have been the intention of Netanyahu and Likud all along.
But if Netanyahu is really serious about Israel being recognized internationally as “the Jewish State” then there is a simple manner by which this universal diplomatic status can instantly be achieved unilaterally and without the consent of the Palestinians. Under basic principles of international law, every state is free to change its own name if it so desires: e.g., from Congo to Zaire then back to Congo. Therefore Israel is free to change its name to Jewistan -- the State of the Jews.
Thereafter every state in the world that has diplomatic relations and treaty relations with Israel will henceforth necessarily have to recognize it as Jewistan -- the State of Jews -- and deal with it as such by that name on a daily basis. The name of Jewistan would automatically replace the name of Israel in the United Nations System, at all other concerned international organizations, and on all bilateral and multilateral treaties to which Israel is currently a contracting party. Indeed, in the aftermath of its serial genocidal atrocities perpetrated against the Palestinians and the Lebanese, Israel has quite understandably been seeking to “re-brand” itself. Jewistan is Israel’s perfect new moniker.
In fact, Israel has never been anything but a Bantustan for Jews setup in the Middle East by the White racist and genocidal Western colonial imperial powers in order to serve as their racist attack dog and genocidal enforcer against the Arab and Muslim world. From the very moment of Western imperialism’s genocidal conception of Israel in 1947-1948, Israel has historically always functioned as Jewistan – the world’s Bantustan for the Jews. So Israel might as well finally change its name today to Jewistan, own up to its racist birthright, and make it official for the rest of the world to acknowledge.
Of course, all the Black Bantustans in racist criminal apartheid South Africa were eventually dismantled and no longer exist. The same will eventually happen to the racist criminal apartheid Jewish Bantustan in the Middle East no matter what name they call themselves. Actually, Jewistan/Israel is more closely analogous to the genocidal Yugoslavia that collapsed as a State, lost its U.N. membership, and no longer exists as a State for that precise reason.
In either event, when this Israeli Bantustan for Jews predictably collapses as a State, all the Palestinian refugees living in their Diaspora around the world will be able to return to their homes as guaranteed by Resolution 194. Such is the ultimate solution for securing the Palestinian Right of Return under International Law. In the meantime, the Palestinians should sign nothing with Jewistan/Israel and let this Bantustan for Jews collapse of its own racist and genocidal weight. Good riddance!

WHAT CHANGED IN THE ARAB SPRING IRREVERSIBLE WINDS OF CHANGE
WHAT CHANGED IN THE ARAB SPRING
IRREVERSIBLE WINDS OF CHANGE
May 9, 2011 Doha, Qatar
By Rev. JESSE JACKSON
We invest in War; we wish for Peace. The US spent $3 trillion on the Iraq War, according to the latest estimates. It was collateral damage; we had the wrong information, we aimed at the wrong target, disconnected from whom attacked us. It costs us lives, money and honor . . . with no one accountable.
Given the cost and futility of war: will we learn?
We speak of the Arab World. In reality today, Arab community, European community, African community, Asia – U.S. – we are inextricably bound. We are one world.
The US President and his staff watched the fall of bin Laden in real time. Today we watch the battles in Libya and Syria, in real time. We are increasingly living in one world, no longer separated by oceans and mountains or language.
We have survived apart, that distance has created many problems. We now have a greater challenge; we must learn to live together. It's a greater challenge than surviving apart, but infinitely more rewarding.
There is a tension today as we see the ugliness of war, and speak of peace.
Coexistence and peace are dismissed as unrealistic and "soft." So we don't pursue it vigorously. We speak of justice; but we reject one set of rules, which inherently demands a redistribution of resources and opportunity.
The prophet Isaiah admonished, we should "study war no more, and beat our swords into plowshares." Or turn weapons of destruction into tool of development, and develop peace scientists, and not war scientists.
We focus on who uses the weapons, and who can purchase them. We use our best scientists and technology to pursue war, not to invest in peace. We take a special pride in sending a man to the moon, but not the same joy and research for wiping out malnutrition, malaria, AIDS, responding to disasters.
The trauma of 9-11-01 is now behind us. America was hit and thousands of innocent people were killed. Now the drams of 5-1-11 when bin Laden was killed – both of these traumatic events are now behind us.
The question is, Can we go another way? Or must we prepare for Round Two and recycle the violence. We must choose reconstruction over revenge and retaliation. We must choose active dialogue and reconstruction.
We espouse Democracy with theory and rhetoric. But we choose control and domination, over growth. The US evolved with slavery and democracy co-existing; with democracy and suppressing the rights of women coexisting; with democracy and denying minorities a role, coexisting. When African Americans rose up and freedom blew, it was not communism or foreign intervention or interference. It was born of our own quest for dignity.
Astonishingly in the Arab Spring you don't see the flags of foreign countries being burned. We see the tension of the vast body of educated people who are unemployed; the uneducated who want to become educated. We see corrupt and repressive governments. The desire for change is legitimate, and bottom up.
What changed in the Arab Spring? In the fullness of time, people's minds changed. The insult level changed. The quest for dignity changed. And the outlet to tell our story, changed.
Mental transformation is irreversible. The Arab World will never be the same again. Every country will feel this change at its foundation.
The fresh winds of democracy are blowing across the Arab. It is irreversible. It can't be contained; don't fear it. Embrace it. The wider the base, the deeper the foundation of people with opportunity, the stronger the government.
I repeat, large numbers of educated but unemployed people, with corrupt and repressive leadership that sees the world through a key hole and not through a door, will not work.
It never works. We must choose One Big Tent, where are all in, and none are left out.
We define Democracy as of, for and by the People, bottom up, vs. the all for the few, top down. But we embrace concentrated power and privilege, where too few people have too much and too many with too little or nothing. Peace and a vast body of unemployed, educated youth, is irreconcilable with democratic dreams.
Along with classmates, I was arrested in 1960 trying to use a public library: at that time the great divide was race/colonialism vs. conquest, in South Carolina, or South Africa, and much of Europe and Asia.
Today the great divide is between the surplus culture at the top, and the suffering culture at the bottom – with the middle class shrinking - Outsourcing labor to cheap markets, and in-sourcing content from cheap markets. The shrinking middle class is creating tension, and oftentimes, scape-goating.
At the ends of the road of wars, are tombstones, not pots of gold and cooling waters.
The extremes of poverty, desperation and oppressive governments, make for easy recruits to terrorism and self-immolation, to fight wealth and power. High walls and weapons stockpiles cannot stop the will to kill and be killed in the quest for dignity.
Peoples' backs are against the wall, and they are revolting – extremes beget extremes.
Where are we finding universal peace and order?
A Globalization that works?
On the athletic field, whether the Olympics in Atlanta or Athens, or China or London or Qatar: whenever the playing field is even, the rules are public, the goals are clear, the referees transparent and fair - people work hard and live with the outcomes. The winner has a sense of joy; the loser lost the game but keep their dignity, so they are all winners.
But when you globalize capital with the total advantage to the investor, and don't globalize human rights, workers' rights, children's' rights, human rights, or environmental security – in a world connected by social media, it will no longer work.
There are some good models. Qatar uses it wealth to virtually wipe out unemployment. It reaches out and identify with emerging democracies. Qatar reaches out to support suffering in Katrina in the US, or Darfur in African and in Haiti, and the freedom fighters in Libya. That's what democracy and social justice looks like.
Our foreign policy in a global world should not be foreign to the best of democratic values: the democratic doctrine must include international law; human rights; self-determination; economic justice and transparency, and leadership with sensitivity.
Today in the North South gap, too much is spent on the military, building walls – and not enough investment to build bridges. We have an addiction and fantasy of violence as a vehicle for change. Generals wear stripes and bars, but ultimately the sacrificial developer have longer life spans.
It is Gandhi helping India overcome Britain's colonization. In the U.S., segregation brought forth Dr. King. It is Mandela leading the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, using suffering as his weapon.
It is the Egyptian uprising…using massive non violence and non cooperation with oppression, to create one of the most phenomenal revolutions of our time.
It tells us that there is an alternative to violence, that non violence works.
Too often, we think peace is naïve and war is a remedy, and thus some choose conquest over co existence. But the key to peace is a fairer distribution of resources, rather than weapons.
Lastly, there is no substitute for leadership that has strength, character, courage, and is transparent. President Obama has these basic characteristics, and is facing a tremendous head wind of resistance. When I look at him, one sees at work a man with a good mind, the courage of his convictions, a work ethic, and inclusive vision that's broad and bold, and a healthy sense of religion that allows for ecumenicity and operational unity.
President Obama has these characteristics, but he is being attacked at every level: his trust and religion is under attack, his birthplace is under attack, his academic credentials, his motives and ideology. But like an eagle he keeps soaring without a need to come down.
We have our problems: more and more billionaires – 300 yesterday, but today we have over 1000. That is extreme concentration of wealth.
We bailed out the banks without mandating lending and reinvestment. The foreclosed homes are exploding. We gave the richest tax cuts. We're involved in three wars.
President Obama has a high moral compass, but he needs help to tackle these foreign and domestic challenges.
What changed in the Arab spring will become the Arab Summer and the Arab Fall and Winter– until Spring comes again, when the bright morning of justice appears. We will have shared economic security. Shared Justice. Shared Education. Shared opportunity. A means to make a living, universal health care for our children.
On that day, lions and lambs lie together; the powerful and the meek and none shall be afraid.
I know what changed in the Arab Spring.
A refusal to submit to corruption, an undying yearning for democracy – and the will to fight for it. Deep within our souls, we all share this yearning for democracy. On all continents, in all languages and cultures, we share this yearning for freedom and dignity. So we must go forward by hope and not backward by fear.

ISRAELIS THANKSGIVING
ISRAELIS THANKSGIVING
When the Israelis are finished digesting their early history, will they,
similar to us, commemorate the complete eradication of their indigenes
by dressing their children in cheap felt Keffiyehs and have them march
in hooky parades and trace their tiny fists onto construction paper and
say it's a rock and then have a big meal and snap wishbones and feel
thankful that ethnic cleansing really works?

FROM TAHRIR SQUARE TO ( PLAZA ) DEL SOL SQUARE
FROM TAHRIR SQUARE TO ( PLAZA ) DEL SOL SQUARE
Spanish youth rally in Madrid echoes Egypt protests
About 2,000 young people angry over high unemployment have spent the night camping in a famous square in Madrid as a political protest there grows.
A big canvas roof was stretched across Puerta del Sol square, protesters brought mattresses and sleeping bags and volunteers distributed food.
The nature of the peaceful protest, including Twitter messages to alert supporters, echoed the pro-democracy rallies that revolutionised Egypt.
The Madrid protests began on Sunday.
On the first evening, police dispersed the protesters, but on Tuesday they let them stay overnight.
Spain's 21.3% unemployment rate is the highest in the EU - a record 4.9 million are jobless, many of them young people.
Spanish media say the protesters are attacking the country's political establishment with slogans such as "violence is earning 600 euros", "if you don't let us dream we won't let you sleep" and "the guilty ones should pay for the crisis".
The atmosphere in the square has been quite festive, with the crowd singing songs, playing games and debating.
They are demanding jobs, better living standards and a fairer system of democracy.
About 50 police officers are deployed in side-streets off the iconic square and outside the Madrid municipal government building.
The protesters are not identifying with any particular political party, Spanish media say, but they are getting more organised.
In another echo of the Cairo rallies that eventually forced President Hosni Mubarak from power in February, the Spanish protesters have set up citizens' committees to handle communications, food, cleaning, protest actions and legal matters.
Tens of thousands in austerity protest in Spain
MADRID (AP) — Tens of thousands of students, social groups and unemployed Spaniards rallied in more than 50 cities on Sunday to protest against government austerity measures and the role banks and political parties have played in the financial crisis.
The events were organized by two activist groups under the banner of "We aren't merchandise in the hands of politicians and bankers."
Protesters in Madrid marched from Cibeles square to city hall in Puerta del Sol, many wearing yellow T-shirts distributed by the Youth Without a Future group, which was founded in early April at the city's university and helped organize the rallies.
"We the unemployed, the badly paid, the subcontracted in precarious jobs, the youth of Spain, want change and a future with dignity," said Ines Bajo, 24, who is unemployed.
Other large marches took place in the cities of Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao and Zaragoza.
"I have several degrees, speak many languages and still get paid a miserable salary," said Cristina Corbera, 25, in Madrid, adding she had finally got a job two months ago after looking for work for more than a year.
She declined to say where she worked because of fear her employer might react badly to her comments, she said.
"For those who say that Spaniards are passive, here's evidence that things are starting to change," Luis Morago, 44, who is unemployed.
Spain is saddled with the eurozone's highest jobless rate of 21.3 percent with a record 4.9 million people unemployed and a sluggish economy that grew by 0.3 percent in the first quarter of the year.
The government forecasts growth of 1.3 percent this year, but the central bank and others say that prediction is optimistic.
The 15 movement protest again at the Plaza del Sol
Thousands of people spent the night in the Puerta del Sol de Madrid and organised into groups, setting up large camps. The demonstration was part of the Real Democracy Now movement against the recession and promoting democracy. 17th May 2011
The goal, according to a spokesman, is to be in the Puerta del Sol to show his "indignation "over the political and social situation until Sunday, when it hosts the regional and municipal elections, and since then no one knows what will happen. "I do not want to cause problems because this is a peaceful event, "he assured the spokesman said, while expressed his dissatisfaction over the treatment they are receiving from the media.
The movement that began last Sunday with mass demonstrations in over 50 cities throughout Spain to protest the economic and political crisis does not stop and just five days of regional and municipal elections outraged, as they are known, have taken the leadership of the campaign. Real Democracy Platform Now!, convener of the march on Sunday, he split the movement now. "We just started it, now is the citizens who have organized, " said Carlos Paredes, a spokesman, who seized the cameras of the media to ask "those who want to start brawl to stay at home" .
Insist that it is a peaceful movement, which calls for "awakening the social conscience" and distance themselves from any political party or association. "We are citizens and have the right to be outraged, " shouted a young woman through a megaphone.
