Palestine dying to live

One wise man once said:Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.In light of the injustices committed by the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza, concerned members of the advertising and media community in Jordan have produced a media campaign to mobilize public opinion, to open the world’s eyes to the various violations of basic human rights, in an effort to bring forth the plight of the Palestinians to the Western world, in a language they understand. As they say, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.Ours is this campaign, the fruit of the collective efforts of advertisers, graphic designers, writers, art directors, and web developers. It does not purport to spread confrontational, aggressive, graphic material, but rather to appeal to audiences’ human side.We are all volunteers and belong to no political party. We realize that running this campaign in major papers in the West is not only costly, but needs calculated strategic planning. But instead of waiting for that to happen, which could take months if not years, we have decided to “ride the momentum” and act now.As you will find out through our website, there are many high-resolution images that you can download for placement onto any medium you desire, be it newspapers, posters, or t-shirts.We provide you with the artwork and the message, and the rest is up to you. You may take this message and circulate it in your local community, your campus newspaper, or even your country club.In order to protect the integrity of the campaign we will not post our advertisements as downloadable files equipped for proper printing. However, if you are interested in printing the campaign and publishing it in your local newspapers, magazines, or on billboards and rooftops please contact us at info@dying2live.com and provide us with your contact information and what you have in mind, and we will guide you on how to obtain these images through the internet.As Martin Luther King once said:We shall have to repent in this generation, not so much for the evil deeds of the wicked people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
Help us break the silence.
Help Palestine live in peace.
