Nice to meet you here!
We have been writing to each other some years ago and met once in San Francisco. (a reminder: I am an Israeli, and I am a co-counselor in RC - Reevaluation Counseling). I am also on your mailing list.
I appreciate what you are doing for so many yeas, telling about peace activities and meetings between Jews and Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians. Things of this kind are rarely mentioned by the media.
So, welcome to mepeace.
With love and appreciation,
Rami
The sting of all problems between Israeli and Palestinians lays in the Old City of Jerusalem. Her status has to be solved in such a way, that all parties fighting for control over her can agree upon.
On June 24, the ‘Big Hug’ will be hold in Jerusalem. Light workers from Israel, Palestine and from all over the world, ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’, will come together to bring warmth and energy to this city, embracing holding hands the Old City. If we bundle all our positive energies and bring these to Jerusalem, we can create peace to this exceptional place.
We are organizing the Big Hug to make the people aware –especially the Israeli and Palestinian inhabitants of Jerusalem- that there is a very shaped perspective for the city of Jerusalem as a city of peace: a new, undivided Jerusalem, as the capital of Palestine, Israel and at large.
Let go of the conflict concerning her command and dedicate the city to the Omnipresent. The Old City as a whole is His Temple. To give the walled Old City free to God, as a "Status Apart”, as an independent city, will be the most feasible way to come out the current impasse.
The Old City of Jerusalem must become an open city; a House of Prayer for all the Peoples. This perspective is written down in the Holy Books, this is the perspective we, as ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’ embrace as well as solution. But how many people does already notice this hopeful point of view?
What I saw in Jerusalem and also everywhere else where I meet Islamic and Jewish people is, that not so many persons really think about a future for Jerusalem. Most of the time, they stick with old ideas that the Old City of Jerusalem will always remain a part of Israel, or in opposite, that it will be absolutely a part of a new Palestinian state, as stolen land that has to be given back. With these visions, a future Jerusalem will be a divided city with an East Palestinian and West Israeli part, with barbed wire and checkpoints in between, like the situation of the city from 1948-1967. Or, coming closer to an agreement, people suggest -like proposed in the “Geneva Accord” in 2003- to make a complicated dividing of the Old City in a Israeli and Palestinian part. That will mean that the small alleys will be split by walls and barriers too. The idea that a future Jerusalem will become a divided city, is something that we have to prevent.
There are living about 250.000 Palestinian and 500.000 Israeli rather close together in one city. Do they want to make a separation of Jerusalem in parts or do they choose, deep in their hearts, for unity? So my best friends, it is our task to inform the whole city that there is an alternative for the Jerusalem of today.
All lovers of a united Jerusalem will come together to encircle and embrace the Old City of Jerusalem with love and devotion. We have to encourage all inhabitants of Jerusalem to join the coming Big Hug, with the idea of a New Jerusalem that might be realized with their support.

our stories have very much similarity.. it makes me believe we are one and we are co-creating one future.
Knew you would be here... We got Muhammed Ali and the Ali Center in Louisville to collaborate with us for the Jerusalem Project this coming summer. Big concert in Louisville with the Nappy Roots and some other bands as a benefit concert and all of Louisville will be alerted . Funds will go towards bringing the kids from Israel/Palestine to USA. Will call soon.
Compromise is so last century and lose/lose. When will our politicians finally figure that out? Let's ratchet up the creativity and humor to uncover fresh, new solutions that work for all of us.
Opening night for my latest opera is two weeks from tomorrow. It's a tightly written Spanish comic opera. My character swoons for a woman who is not his wife, seethes with anger at the woman who is his wife, and is sarcastic in both Spanish and English. Life is good. :O)
Range of emotion is cathartic for any artist. In our Middle East conflict, let's validate each other's range of emotion, and experience catharsis together.
Love and light, Aref
I received the DVDs today, and I am looking forward to watching them this weekend! My boss at camp was interested when I sent her a link to the trailer. I hope we can make something happen here!
Be Well,
Catherine
