Israel and Palestine

With broken hearts and voices ravaged by tears, we call for the embrace of the value of life over the celebration of death.

I didn’t want to face what we are culpable for, nor did I want to acknowledge what we were capable of.

What is the prayer that penetrates the body and mind to awaken to the Power that makes for Connection?

I feel chastised for even considering expressing my grief experience.

Everyone in Palestine or Israel has been touched by the anguish of the war.

My visit was spurred by the desire to join with my brothers and sisters — the Jewish people — out of concern for our homeland.

If we are unable to build a joint peaceful future, I see no future for this country.

If Netanyahu’s plan is pursued, Israel will never be free of destabilizing factors.

In the face of death, silence is often best.
