Lighting Boom Arm
Dec/090
On 3 November 2006, during the second day of the 6th International Conference in Jerusalem Sabeel Sabeel founder and prophet, Rev. Naim Ateek firmly stated "Israel will not survive unless justice is done! The situation is deteriorating and we must thwart the plans of Israel and the action they are not based on JUSTICE! All we're asking is to honor international law! Israel is afraid of International Law and this shows that something is very wrong with Israel. We want Israel to live in peace and safely. The only way is to honor international law. This is the bottom line. This is what we work and pray. "
States International Law that the occupation is temporary and maintain the status quo. Forty years of occupation and building the illegal wall that does not follow the Green Line, but divides Palestinians their families and steals their land and water is apartheid.
The final image of a Power Point presentation that showed the night before was a photograph eight smiling children in Gaza. Three peace sign flashed upright, but fourth in 'V' had become his side. It reminded me the image of the Caterpillar bulldozer that was painted on the house Arabiya BEIT / Peace Center that I visited on 1 November 2006. On the wall of the house is a mural donated by the Workers of North America USA against the occupation of Iraq and the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The mural depicts Rachel Corrie, the American who was run over by a Caterpillar bulldozer in Gaza when he stood up to defend the house of a doctor with five children and a pregnant Palestinian woman of ten who was also killed in Gaza. The images of angels from the two women float above a depiction of U.S. became a Caterpillar bulldozer tipped to one side and flanked by tanks and weapons destruction. On both sides of weapons of destruction in many people. A railroad track reminds the viewer that before 1948, Jews
and the Palestinians once who worked together in peaceful solidarity to build a railroad.
Father Manuel, the priest of the Latin Church and school in Gaza, wrote:
"Gaza can not sleep! People are suffering incredible. They are hungry, thirsty, without electricity or clean water. They are suffering constant bombardments and sonic booms aircraft flying at low altitude. They need food: bread and water. Children and babies are hungry ... people have no money to buy food. The price of food has doubled and tripled because of the situation. We can not drink water from the ground here, as it is salty and not hygienic. People have to buy water to drink. They have no income, no chance of getting food and water from the outside and no opportunities to earn money inside Gaza. They have no hope ... Without electricity, children are afraid. No light at night. No oil or candles ... thirsty children are crying, afraid and desperate ... Many children have been violently driven from their beds at night sonic booms. Many arms and legs are broken. These planes fly low over Gaza and then reach the speed of sound. This shakes the earth and creates shock waves like an earthquake that causes people to be released from his bed. I, myself weigh 120 kilos and was almost thrown from my bed due to the shock wave produced by an airplane at low altitude that made a sonic boom from Gaza ... I can not sleep ... the cries of hungry children, the sullen faces of broken men and women who are sitting on their hungry void, no light, no hope, no love. These actions are war crimes! "
On November 2, 2006 Aljazeera.net reported that "the Israeli forces have killed two Palestinians in Gaza, including a 75-year-old civilian, in a major Israeli offensive in the coastal strip in months. Relatives of the elderly killed Thursday in Beit Hanoun, said he was killed by a shot in the head when he went to his balcony to carry her disabled son inside. Israeli troops shot from a rooftop, residents said. The Israeli army said its forces were attacking only armed groups, but declined to comment on the killing of civilians. "
Their deaths bring to 12 the number of Palestinians killed since the current operation that began on 1 November 2006, when troops entered northern Gaza before dawn. This attack is one of the biggest since Israel's offensive in Gaza in retaliation for its captured soldier.
As of 1 November 2006, 280 Palestinians have been killed in the four-month Israeli offensive in Gaza.
"In the sixth century before Christ, news of the conflicts in the land were already old, and Jeremiah warned the people that everything that God could see was the violence and destruction. Sickness and wounds all over ... For every misunderstanding, which condemns all thought, any negative vibration, every tear from a broken heart, every time you took and not let him go, and only did so because I did not. The Divine is within all creation and within all women and men.
"And every little kindness you've done, every gentle word spoken, every time he held his tongue, every positive thought, every smile freely given, each hand that opens, helps bring in the kingdom. And the kingdom comes from above and the kingdom comes from within. Imagine a kingdom of brotherhood of all creatures and all men. "KEEP HOPE ALIVE, pages 53-54, available on WAWA
