The USA government have no rights to control the open-source projects, because it’s open-source and these projects are developed by people around the world including people from these banned countries, please Sourceforge read again the open-source definition: “5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups”.

Oh! I forgot to tell you about something funny, In Syria We have KFC and Marlboro so WHY CAN NOT WE HAVE GOOGLE CODE OR SOURCEFORGE??!!!. That makes me somehow remember a funny quote when Homer Simpson said “I have 3 kids and no money. Why can’t I have no kids and 3 money?”.

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009


A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive


They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze


We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight


Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right


But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze


We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
