Something to think and act about,

When I read this, it just shock me how true it is, and how simply it can represent what is happening in our small world. I did'nt know if to laugh or to cry. What can we do ? If every one of us do his part, our world will surly be a better place to live in, If we cant do anything personal to any of those needy people around us, or do anything about the injustices, i am sure we can say a prayer. So here it goes. " "Last month the UN conducted a worldwide survey with one question: "Would you plea… Continue

Hopeful vs Hopeless

Well, this is the question that people keep asking us as Peacemakers. Do you see anything that gives you hope in the situation. That was what I was asked again yesterday. If I was asked the same question last week I will immediately say" No", I can not see anything that is happening that gives me hope for a better future regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But during this week we heard and saw some hope seeds growing a bit, and just a little but. How ? With what Ehud Olmert said few day… Continue

At 9:29pm on October 20, 2008, JC said…: Hey Elias, thanks for your comment on my wall. I totally agree about the "Heart to Heart" talk between Lebanese and Palestinians. Some work is being done on the subject in Lebanon (by grass-root organisations and politicians), but much more has to be done. We can discuss this issue more lengthly if you are interested.
p.s. Do you have any ties with Bethlehem University? I had the chance to meet a couple of B.U. teachers and students two weeks ago.

My friend Basel, his family owned a furniture store in Bethlehem (or they did before they moved), so I don't know if that helps :S
When I see your last Halabi, it for some reason reminds me of the word habiti..he.h.e.
I live in Massachusetts-- have you ever been to the US?

At 11:41am on October 9, 2008, Eyal Raviv said…: Missed you the other day. Thanks for telling me what happened. We will meet again, soon.

Be well and keep in touch

My name is Stephanie, and I noticed that we are friends on here, but we've never really talked.
So how are you?
I see from your pictures that you are really good friends with two of my friends-- Eyal Raviv + Yoni Vendriger (Yoni is helping me make an interfaith/students for peace group at my college).
And that's cool that you are from Bethlehem-- my best friend is from there (he is Palestinian), but his family moved to the US a couple of years ago due to the violence after the Second Intifada. But the good news is that his house is still there, and has not been destroyed, nor demolished or anything.
His name is Basel Bandak-- do you know him?
Take Care
Stephanie :)

I'm writing you from Lebanon and I'd like to know if you are part of any grassroots NGO yourself.

At 7:15am on August 22, 2008, Eyal Raviv said…: Hey Elias, looking forward to seeing you soon.

At 5:57pm on August 13, 2008, Yoni Vendriger said…: Ahalan Elias,
It was great meeting at the IPCRI workshop and going to the Tent...
Hope we meet again soon.

Peace,
yoni
