ceasefire

In Gaza, there is now a ceasefire, to happiness. Unfortunately, much too late, 1,300 people have been killed, according to some a real massacre.
For example, in the opinion of Ruven Moskovitsch. The 80-year Holocoust survivors and co-founder of Neve Shalom Marvin and I have today made spontaneously, because he was in the village. He was very sad and angry about the war and the killing in Gaza.
As a Jew who speaks fluent German and known peace activist, he was interviewed in the past, often by German media. According to him, however, not more, since 2 Lebanon war 2006th There he had expressed the Israeli government and people have been very critical and had been "stalled" in the interview.

Despite his 80 years, we saw him on peace demonstrations in Tel Aviv, during the the war took place frequently.

This weekend was again full of political activity.
The human rights organization "Physicians for Human Rights' (doctors of Human Rights) has got permission to send a truck with relief supplies to Gaza. To accompany the truck and against the war, especially the killing of doctors to demonstrate, should be hired buses from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Beer Sheva Taibeh meet and escort the truck to the border, to demonstrate there.
Marvin and I were sitting on the bus from Jerusalem.
in Ashqelon, the buses but then all caught individually and each 2-5 patrol cars escorted to various stations.
There was then the first bus drivers their license taken away and detained people. The attempt to come by public transport / taxis to the border has hindered the police as well.

all, even though the trial was legal and could actually happen to normal traffic. Finally, we
were then escorted back to Jerusalem and could only get in Bell's Garden in Jerusalem.

On Saturday we had brought greater success.


the day, are Marvin, Sawsan, Maya and I and Diana, a new volunteer, the Thursday has come down to the North. Sawsan there has shown us the villages around her home village, villages from which Palestinians were expelled in 1948.
That was very interesting.


Sawasn

the evening were Marvin, Sebastian, Sonia and I were at a demonstration against the war in Tel Aviv / Jaffa. In contrast to most of the demos here, this was a demonstration during which it was run. This, and the size, I would estimate as 2,000 people, was the dynamism and atmosphere of the demo better than usual, yet peaceful.
The war in the village have some political (again) hochgerappelt and so were some people out there Wahad al Salam. Among other things, also Shady, who was before the war broke out, was still on and has no demo by the circumstances and perhaps also the influence of Yuval, Marvin and I are clearly politicized.

As most of the other 80% of the demonstrators Jews, therefore, only a small proportion were Arabic. Anti-Jewish slogans are like fallen on some German demos well, there were not so, but among many Palestinian flags, an Israeli.

Wreked Plane For Sale

غزة

Salam al Leikum,

In Gaza there is war. More than 1,000 Palestinians dead, 13 Israelis dead, 4,000 wounded.
The whole does not take more than good 50 km from here, from Wahat al Salam / Neve Shalom from.

I would not apportion blame, both Israelis and Palestinians grow my opinion, in conditions that both the bombs, and rockets from Gaza, they might be accomplished. None the less I think both are wrong, I think every single act of violence, whether missile or bomb or blockade is wrong.

the active pursuit of peace is the acceptance of violence, injustice and hatred.

Blessed are the peacemakers. The way to make peace are diverse, be it in prayer, in the form of donations, in the personal encounter and in the form of peace demonstrations.

For those of you who live in Mülheim and environment lends itself next Saturday here an opportunity to an invitation that I forward from my mother:

Shalom and Salam,

to a Peace Action Forum Mülheim against the war in Gaza, we want to meet Saturday (17:01:09), namely at 11.30 clock in the peace steps (Bachstr.). A few action posters are available for interested participants, peaceful posters can also be brought.

There may be information on the campaign. A few texts derive a "silence," which is to be accompanied by the bells of St. Peter's Church.

At about 12.15 clock, it then goes on Schlossstr. to Kurt Schumacher Platz. There is to be formed around an olive tree, a human chain.

end about 13.15 clock, information tables and documentation for a collection of signatures are available.

drop words, not bombs!

Greetings

Gerda

It would be glad if one or the other would be invited.

For those who are concerned about me, even though Gaza is only 50 km away from here, we only get to hear the news about the war. Here it is safe.

God's blessing (and I hope you read this rather long and very political mail ;-)

Jonathan



In peace

"Hard times"
said the lead to student
"How's true," said the blood on the stone

None Concern, "said

Nj Disability W2 2010

visit

on New Year's say I had a good week visit from my brother, . Annie and Sonia
Since we had rented a car together, we could take quite a lot Here are some excerpts from our vacation.
First we went to Eilat, the southernmost city in Israel at the Red Sea in Sinai, where it was. still a good 20 degrees Celsius, so you eat well on the beach, swimming, sitting ... could.

One of the highlights the trip was here repays the camel riding. A very different feeling and much higher than on a horse or donkey NEM. We stayed one night in a hostel.

In Bethlehem, we have looked at the birthdays and Christmas church and then we were (mainly Annie and Sonia) are a small shop and have a cloth merchant, who I know a little bit, drank tea.
New Year we have cooked and eaten falafel and celebrated along with some young people ausm village.
On Saturday we did in Jerusalem, an alternative tour: that is, we did not have a leader, they were mainly to historical sites the old town, but led to Jewish settlements in the Old Town. Since the guide was a Jew and Jews tend to be against the settlements, it was critically balanced, informative and in my opinion worthwhile.

Finally, we were still swimming in the Dead Sea and we have looked at the Qumran caves. Swimming in the Dead Sea is a thrilling experience aufjedenfall: Water that does not behave like water, but one can swim up automatically.

All in all, we have already made quite a lot and talked a lot about politics, the three are finally one day after war broke out in Gaza came from. Despite the relative proximity (~ 60 km), there is outside of Gaza, so we have (almost) anything from the war, noticed only by news
etc. The time was still very nice and it made me very happy that the there were three.
