Ideas For Bicycle Birthday Cakes

december 18th

Last Thursday we were on the demo of the december18th action, which I have not written here, too.




total of 22,000 signatures have come together, and about 17,000 of the letters were at the demonstration in front of the Defence Ministry tried to deliver.

The soldiers at the gate refused to accept the letter and not after prolonged Talkshow the letters were then stopped in front of goal.

It is indeed sad to see that the Verteidungsminister of Israel or its officers do not even Accept letters of complaint, but at least it was reported in the Israeli news of the action. (Even if only slightly and only in "left" messages)

Bhow Long Take The Gastrtis Go Away

Time ...

... progressing. The day before yesterday and yesterday is gone Bea, a new trainee, Sonia, came from Switzerland.

That is Advent, one sees us, despite temperatures well above 20 degrees during the day.

Our Advent wreath, with barbed wire inside.

Bethlehem Tel Aviv

On Saturday we go to Bethlehem for the Christmas market, which was unfortunately not taken (we were there somehow misinformed, who was only on the first Sunday of Advent).
At least Marvin has yet immortalized on the wall:

From Bethlehem we went to Jerusalem and from there to private bus with NEM Tel Aviv. The bus was from Peace Now and we were at a demonstration against the settler violence in Hebron. The largest demonstration in Israel where I was before (not only Israel Palestine), so about 250 people, I'd appreciate.

Growth Behind The Eye, Symptoms

Fw: What they mean to me and my son.

From a New Profile (http://www.newprofile.org/default.asp?language=en, an Israeli peace movement) newsletter, a letter from Yuval mother (unfortunately only in English).

A note from Ayelet Ophir-Auron,
mother of jailed Shminist Yuval
Ophir-Auron .

Dear Dorothy,

It's hard to believe that people all around the world are learning about my 19-year-old son Yuval. I know that I'm proud of him. I just never expected the world to be proud of him. I can't thank you strongly enough for your words of support for Yuval and his fellow activists and friends.

As I write this, Yuval's in jail, serving his second term. We don't know how or when this will end.

When Yuval was 9 years old he met Palestinians for the first time while we were visiting them after being liberated from jail as administrative detainees. I think this was probably the first time something in his naïve conception about good and bad was broken and he began to ask questions.

It's hard to be a mother of a kid like this. I want him to be enjoying his teenage years. I want him to benefit from the fruits of my and Yuval's father's labor, and I want him to live in a world where he doesn't have to serve in a military that occupies another people. I am sad that I haven't been able to create that world for him. But I am proud that he's trying to create it for himself.

Here's why it matters that the rest of the world is paying attention to Yuval, Raz, and the other Shministim.

The Israeli government would like nothing better than to believe that everyone in the world supports Israel unconditionally. Hell, even people in Israel don't unconditionally support it.

The sad fact is that the occupation is destroying us all- Israelis and Palestinians alike. Supporting the Shministim is a way to do your part to end the occupation and bring comfort and well-being to our peoples.

Like you, I sent a letter. Now I want you to tell everyone you know about the Shministim.


Please click on this tell-a-friend link now and spread the word.
Your support means so much to my son and his friends, to me, to all of us who want and deserve a real future in this part of the world.

Thank you,

Ayelet Ophir-Auron
