June - Justice
This week was my 82nd birthday. Exactly 70 years ago, as a 12-year old child, I learned
about the Holocaust and my people's involvement in that tragedy. It has been haunting
me for all this time.
This Spring I took a fact-finding tour to Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territories, to Nablus, Jenin, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron, the Jordan Valley and the Negev. It was a most upsetting experience to see what the Israeli occupation does to the oppressed people and to witness their suffering. I would like to know how the children of the Holocaust who have suffered themselves and should know better, can treat other human beings with such cruelty. If you have an answer, please let meknow, and please unsubscribe from this e-mail if you don't like to hear what is being done to the Palestinians by the State of Israel
Here is a link to a video made by ABC called "Stone Cold Justice" that shows in sometimes graphic detail what goes on in the West Bank. It is cruel to treat human beings like that. You may not want to watch the video, but you should know what is being done in the name of the survivors of the Holocaust.

Unless Israel succeeds to transform itself into a nation with a middle-eastern flavor (since it is after all located in the Middle-Eastern region) in which Jews and Arabs can live together with the same laws and rights and mutual respect, Israel will inevitably go down and the mighty walls will fall, maybe not next year, may be not in 5 years, but they will fall.
