There is a wall. A wall that separates Israel from Palestine. A wall that also separates families, businesses and towns. As you walk the wall, you see it has become a palate for artists, for people who don't like what the wall has done to our world; to their world.
Merry Christmas World: From the Ghetto
A country is not only what it does. It is also what it tolerates... -Kurt Tucholsky 1933
"Tear down this wall so Tarek & his family can come home." Families are living separate lives. They have to apply for permits from Israel to go through the checkpoints to visit. They have to apply for permits from Israel to come into Jerusalem to get to the closest hospitals. They have to apply for permits from Israel to be reunited with husbands and wives. But these permits can and are ignored for years.
Many compare this wall to the Berlin Wall. Praying for the day it falls too.
"For He Himself is our PEACE. Who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility."
I love that PAIDIA is doing just this; teaching Palestinian kids how to love, forgive and reconcile.
THE OPPRESSED BECOME THE OPPRESSOR
WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER
FREEDOM NOW
