انقذونا يا عالم

انقذوا مصر المحتله
من مصر المغتصبه الى فلسطين المحتله والعراق المحتله وافغانستان المحتله ولبنان وسوريا المنتهكه
الى جميع انحاء العالم ان الشعب المصري بريئ مما يحدث بجميع الدول العربيه وكل ما يحدث بكم
لهو من تخازل حكامنا العرب وخضوعهم للهيمنه الامريكيه الصهيونيه
واكبر دليل على ذلك ما حدث وما زال يحدث بابناء مصر من قبل يوم الغضب 6 ابريل
لذلك اوجه رساله للعالم كله ان الشعب المصري بريئ بريئ ولا يرضى بالظلم ولا يرضى بالهوان
فنداء لكل مصري على ارض مصر الكنانه
نداء لكل عربي يحب مصر ويرفض الاحتلال
نداء لجميع منظمات حقوق الانسان بالعالم
انقذوا الشعب المصري المحتل
طالبوا بالافراج عن كل المعتقلين السياسيين
طالبوا باستقلال مصر وحريتها
ان ما ستشاهدونه في هذا الفيديو لهو
لقطات من غزه وفلسطين ولبنان والعراق ومصر
لن تستطيعوا ان تفرقوا بين المكان والزمان
وهل الصوره بمصر ام بمكان اخر
ولذلك نؤكد للعالم ان مصر محتله والهي مصر محتله
ولكن الفكر الجديد جاء باحتلال جديد فدائما ما نجد المحتل
يلبس خوذه وبدله كاكي وسلاح بيده وزمزاميه مياه ويركب دبابه
وقد نرى على راسه فروع شجر للتمويه
ولكن الاحتلال بمصر مختلف
فهو يرتدي البدله والساعه الذهبيه والحذاء البانس
والسيارات الثمينه الغاليه
وللاسف ان اي محتل يكون ليس من الدوله التى يحتلها ويكون جنسيه اخرى
ولكن بمصر المحتل من نفس الجنسيه ومن ابناء نفس الشعب
فلذلك اطالب بفك الحصار عن مصر اطالب بجلاء المحتلين اطالب
بالوقوف معنا اطالب بعدم ترك ارض الكنانه مصر فعار على كل مصري
سواء خارج مصر او على ارضها السكوت عما يحدث من سرقه لمقدرات الشعب
سرقه حلمه ومستقبله وطموحه سرقه حتى لسانه وكلمته سرقه حقه في الحياه
فقد اعتدى هذا النظام على الصحفيات والصحفيين ورؤساء التحرير
اعتدى على الاطفال والرجال والنساء
اعتدى على العمال والموظفين
اعتدى على السياسيين والشباب
اعتدى على ارض مصر
اعتدى على حق المصري في الحياه
اعتدى على غاز مصر وصدره لاعدائنا
اعتدى على محاصيل مصر وصدر منها ما يؤكل
وترك لنا ما يسرطن ويقتل
اعتدى على قناه السويس ومرر السفن الحربيه لمحاربه العراق
اعتدى على مصانعنا وباعها لليهود تحت اي مسمى هنود وخلافه
اعتدى على من قال لا للظلم ومن قال بحبك يا مصر
لذلك اقول انقذونا
ولا تقفوا ساكنين قوما بعمل وقفات امام جميع السفارات التى انتم بدولها
ارسلوا هذه الرساله لجميع سفارات العالم وللامم المتحده ولمنظمات حقوق الانسان
انقذوناااااااااااااااااااااااااااا

Comentários:

O interesse do campeonato resume-se, como se sabe, a saber quem vai ser segundo (o que dá acesso directo à Liga dos Campeões) e a quem acompanha a União de Leiria na descida.

Pois a jornada 26 afundou o Benfica que praticamente diz adeus àquele objectivo e simultaneamente pôs a Académica em boa posição para a manutenção, dispondo de uma vantagem de cinco pontos acima da linha de água quando só há doze pontos em disputa. Foi a grande surpresa da Jornada a goleada na Luz do Benfica que vinda de uma boa exibição no Bessa (apesar do empate) com a Académica a conseguir um feito que há mais de meio-século (54 anos) não conseguia: ganhar na Luz e logo por 3 golos muita gente ainda hoje está incrédula.

Guimarães (com um golo precedido de irregularidade) bateu o Boavista e o Sporting venceu o Leixões com dois golos na 2ª. parte (Tonel e Liedson) e ambos provenientes de pontapés de canto (apontados por Ronny) e deixaram o Benfica para trás.

Em Setúbal as equipas preferiram fazer um ensaio para o jogo mais importante da próxima terça-feira (meia final da Taça de Portugal) e o Porto venceu por 2-1 depois de estar a ganhar por 2-0 e com mais um golo irregular (Mariano Gonzalez interceptou a bola com o braço antes de se isolar…).

Importante foi também o triunfo do Paços de Ferreira frente ao Nacional (quarta derrota dos madeirenses nos últimos cinco jogos) deixando o penúltimo lugar para o Leixões que fez um bom jogo mas que, como se disse, foi derrotado em Alvalade.

Aliás, esta jornada foi favorável aos forasteiros com 5 vitórias dos visitamtes e aoenas dois dos locais e não se registando nenhum empate (coisa rara nesta época). O Belenenses derrotou o Estrela da Amadora por 2-0 e o Marítimo foi vencer a Naval por 3-0.

A meio da semana disputam-se os jogos das meias-finais da Taça de Portugal: Vitória de Setúbal-Porto na 3ª. feira e Sporting-Benfica na quarta. No próximo fim de semana há o Porto-Benfica.

O Sporting vai a Leiria enquanto o Guimarães vai a Coimbra. O belenenses-Setúbal pode esclarecer o quinto lugar (mas o Belenenses ainda tem a potencial perde de seis pontos por decidir). Ma luta pela manutenção o Paços de Ferreira recebe a Naval e vencendo iguala em pontos os «Navalistas», enquanto o Leixões tem uma final ao receber o Estrela da Amadora. A ocorrerem triunfos caseiros nestes dois jogos ainda vai haver muito sofrimento nos últimos três jogos… e muitas equipas envolvidas! Caso contrário o Leixões fica em maus lençóis…
