"I suppose I must be one of the exceptional Israelis living abroad who has not become right wing"
Amos Oz does not live abroad. As he stated many times in the interview, he lives in Arad and friends who live there have told me, he can often be see...
I went to a conference given by Amira Hass in Italy. She is very impressive and manages to keep unemotional and resonable. She doesn't actually demonise Israel but what the state does- I remember her saying that it's a natural inclination for peop...

One should be careful not to generate more violence in the response to the violence to which one is reacting.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNCATION
I am very grateful to my patient young Palestinian friends who have helped me to understand things better and wonder why it took me such a long time.
I believe part of the answer is the way people communicate and their motivation.

Jenin
I came back to Jerusalem from Jenin, supposedly the hotbed of violent militancy, yesterday. It was an amazing and heart-wrenching experience. I met real peace wishers and makers who are at the same time victims and was literally overwhelmed by their hospitality, generosity and warmth.
What was so heart-wrenching was that in the midst of their suffering, poeple were so mild-mannered (as was everyone I met in Jenin) and patient and restrained - unlike the popular sterotyping that exists. They rea… Continue

fesalk411 said… - סיפור אמיתי
אני ערבי פלסטיני מהכפר חיזמה הנמצא בין ירושלים רמאללה
כשהייתי בגיל 15 נלחמתי נגד הכיבוש הישראלי
בשבל החופש הייתי חושיב כל אדם יהודי חייל או אזרח גבר או אישה קטן או גדול צריך לההרג
עד בא יום נסיתי לשלול לבן אדם את חיים שלו לא הייתי מכיר אתו היה בשביל יהודי וכל יהודי היא המטרה שלי להרוג
תאמינו לי הייתי רק ילד לא מבין כלום בפוליטיקה
או את הסכסוך הערבי הישראלי
בסוף נעצרתי לתקופה של 12 שנים
למדע כל זה קרה בשנת האינתיפאדה הראשונה 1987. באותו שלב. אף אחד לא מדבר על שלום
רק מדברים שני הצדדים רק על אלימות
התחלתי לגדול ואני בכלא התחלתי ללמוד לקרוא
ספרים על פוליטיקה. ספרות. שירה וסיפורים העולם.
השלום במדריד.
ועידת מדריד נתן לי תקווה החיים לחיות בשלןם
ובכבוד . למדתי כי אלימות תבי רק אלימות
והשלום הא הפתרון היחיד בין שני העמים למען עתיד יפה מכובד בין שני העמים
אנחנו חיים על אותה קרקע.אנחנו שכנים שותים מאותו המים מתפללים עבור אלוהים אחד
אנו צריכים לחיות בשלום על בסיס של הדת לאלוהים והאדמה לכלאם

C A Cantwell said… - Hello Rivka:
Thanks so much for the connectivity and warm welcome. I am otherwise so drowning in my own challenges; this is like coming up for air. (for now) I would very much like to understand your position more personally: are you palestinian or jewish or perssian or other like me. It seems like we are all affected by M E Peace (or will be) only some more directly or knowledgibly or personnelly- you?

Sara Rosenberg-Sharvit said… - Hi Rivka, I just wanted to send a quick, warm hello and mention how intrigued and impressed I am with your sense of poise and thoughtfulness in your responses. You seem very lovely and intelligent and I hope to have the pleasure of further chatting with you. May I ask where in Italy you live? I had a dear friend at Hebrew U who made aaliya from Rome and regrettably lost touch with her - Sometimes it really is a small world, so one never knows...I feel there is much to catch up on, but I just wanted to say "hello" - Warm regards from NYC, Sara

Sam Adelsberg said… - Hi Rivka,
Thanks so much for the comment! The beauty of LendforPeace.org is that we're giving small loansto individuals who generally run informal businesses such as a beauty shop, a grocery store or a in-house sewing business. These local enterprises generally do not depend on movement and can flourish if given access to capital. Check out some businesses on the site!
Yours,
Sam

No, I don't represent anyone - at least not yet! I do think JVP is a really great organization and resource. Once I graduate college this May I will figure out where the Lord wants me to go from there. : )
