WIB

No, this is definitely not a ‘story or reel’ on the lines of MIB, but a real story which started in Israel almost 20 years back. Women In Black (WIB) is a movement started by Israeli women who stand in silent vigil to protest against their countrymen occupying ther neighbour’s land. Excerps from Sunday’s The Hindu magazine, http://www.hindu.com/mag/2008/01/20/stories/2008012050050200.htm . In the present happening world where ppl are bothered about them, themselves and only themselves, its wonderful to see these women in Israel, who r fighting for their fellow beings, fellow beings not frm there mother land, but frm across the territory and are condemning the actions of their own countrymen. Their resolution is very candid and simple, its to save their country frm the blame of occupying the land which is not their’s and their refusal to be enemies with their neighbouring country. The result of this is yet to be seen, but for the nobel cause thy are fighting for thy are tagged as 'traitors'. Still thy r firm on their resolve - 'to see two states - Israel and Palestine -existing side by side'.
