Tomorrow is Blog About Palestine Day. So far, the response has been truly amazing. This event was kicked off exactly two weeks ago (on May 1st), and yet so far more than 200 people are known to have signed up for the event. The event got picked up and reported on by the “Global Voices Online” as well as “Now Public“. Mainstream media outlets such as the BBC World and AlJazeera English have also been contacted. Blog aggregators such as the Qwaider Planet and Dwwen have supported the initiative and advertised about it to their readers. The Facebook event also has about 150 people who have signed up for it (and growing).
Here is a short list of blogs (that i know about) that have signed up for this event. This list is absolutely in no particular order, This list is absolutely not all-inclusive, if your blog has not been listed here, please let me know so that i can add it.

This is shaping up to be one truly spectacular event. I am anxious to see and read all your articles. Coming to think about it, with this massive number of contributers, we are almost writing an entire book in that day. This is amazing. Think of the awareness we will be raising about the Palestine and the Palestinians in just one day.
As a general tip, please use creative titles for your articles. Try not to stick to “Blog About Palestine Day”. Also, to ease the harvesting, please include a link/track-back to the original call as well as one of the event’s buttons in your post (so to aid future readers).
Thank you all for your help and support. See you on the 15th.
