Shakira against the war

I want to speak as a young person in the name of my generation because I am sure that my generation agrees with me on this: war is not the solution to any conflict. Not today, not in this century. Its urgent that there is an international diplomatic intervention and an immediate cease of fire. I am sad, I guess like the rest of the word is, to know that because of this conflict so many innocent mothers and children are dying. I just want a call from my generation to the US leaders and the super power countries' leaders to stop this war because we all know they can stop it. I just hope that there is an international diplomatic intervention right away. We want something better for our kids; the kids in Colombia, the kids in Israel, the kids of Palestine, the kids of the world, because I believe in only one human race. ..We don't need leaders that create more divisions and resentment and more hatred. We need leaders that care about the people and about the social needs of a nation, not leaders that only invest on weapons and space missions. I think we need to start worrying about what we have here on this planet, which is really tough, it is tough to survive in the world we are in, with so many natural catastrophies like the tsunami that just happened in Asia and on top of that, we are killing each other. This is something I don't understand. There is alot that we need to start doing in order to survive as a community and as one human race

Yeah!! She's right!!!
It's soooo scary!! It really is. 2 months ago I was in Libanon? 2 months ago, can you imagine? It was so beautiful there!!! Ok I only was there for 2 days, because I lost in the tournament, but the country was so beautiful.The people were so nice. I've been thinking about it a few time the last weeks, because I was so close to be there too. I could have been one of the innocent people that could have been killed. Its crazy!!! Stupid fucking war!!!

So its really a good thing you lost the match.
I don't think people can actually live without war. #sad3#

I also found this :

Popster Shakira heeft opgeroepen tot een staakt-het-vuren in Libanon. Dat deed ze donderdagavond bij een optreden in Athene. „Er sterven daar zoveel moeders en kinderen en dat mogen we niet toestaan, vandaag niet, niet in de 21e eeuw”, zei de Colombiaanse zangeres wier vader uit Libanon komt. Dat hebben Griekse media gemeld.

„Ik roep de Amerikaanse leiders op deze oorlog te stoppen. Want we weten allemaal dat zij degenen zijn die er een eind aan kunnen maken.”

De zangeres zei te hopen dat er een diplomatieke oplossing komt en dat de internationale gemeenschap ingrijpt. Het Griekse publiek verwelkomde de oproep. Het land heeft 1700 vluchtelingen uit Libanon opgenomen.
