Funny poem which suggest that we are all in one Gordian Knot . Alexander the Great used his sword to be the next ruler of Asia. I hope we are wise enough today to use other methods to free the Palestinians-Israeli Knot.

The common Jewish-Israeli idea is not to kill all Palestinians as it is common to expect that some peace agreement will lead for stable relationship. Extremists Parties as Kahana were banned.

But I agree with you that Hamas is far more moderate then what the Israelis usually can recognize, this is part of our tendency to Demonize the enemy. same as your expectation of me to be HASBRA mole here and assume I do not know Israeli and non Israelis writers of the conflict history.

There some wisdom in this Gordy knote we are all part of, and indid I think that G-D as a sign of us all is the only entity who can climes "ownership" on earth.

Our task today, as humans, irritation to resolve this conflict in a way that will enable us to create a future that include all of us.

when you'll see there is no BARBARA MULE here and that I know respect and listen to your sources too.

Take care

(A poem posted on wall of Hebrew University's Men bathroom)

Hamas doesn't claim to kill all Jews in Palestine – it's the other way around. Guru of Shaa party and many Zionist Rabbis are on record for saying – "It's wrong to be merciful to Arabs." OR "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." – Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994.

However, the self-denial Israeli HASBRA mole here – would not know that!!!

is it our future based on defeat of one side
Did G-D intended to choose between his/her children?

You created evil unionism in your mind, the ugliness of our current reality call for all of us as we all humans undr our words, we all recognize where we need to go, we only differ in the how to get there.

Then “israel” uses its pitiful hasbara mouthpieces to cover up its vulgarity and vile crimes!

That is what the Mischief Makers DO

But what the Mischief Makers deceptively and misleadingly blather is peace peace peace

I along with every principled person with conscience in the world, repeat to their deaf ears:

STOP your CRIMES evil doers, then talk about security

Give JUSTICE wicked ones, then talk about peace

But Mischief Makers cry peace, but what they mean is war; they scream freedom but what they mean is enslavement; they shout democracy but what they mean is democracy for their own kind.

The Quran describes such people whose words contradict their deeds:

“And when it is said unto them: Make not mischief in the earth, they say: We are peacemakers only. Are not they indeed the mischief-makers? But they perceive not." (2:11-12)

But mischief makers perceive not
.

Did you know that, sometimes
Doing nothing is a Crime

Sometimes
Thinking nothing is a crime

Sometimes
Feeling nothing is a crime

Sometimes
Saying nothing is a crime

For …
Oppression thrives on silence

A dignified stand, then
Can be ever so grand

A brave, wise decision, then
Would be an inspired vision

A righteous feeling
Of sadness or anger, then
Can out-weigh
Joy, delight and wonder!

A two-letter word, then
Can be stronger than a sword!

When JUSTICE is slaughtered
When oppression prevails
When evil is O.K
And Satan glorified
When GOD finds no room
In His children’s hearts

We have to be prepared
Then,
If only just to say
The two-letter word

NO
.

I am so blessed
Being a Palestinian
Being a refugee
For over fifty years
I am so blessed
I wasn’t in the tank
With an army uniform
Killing and destroying
To frighten people away
“It was a barren land”
Later on to say!
I am so blessed

Being under curfew
For most of my life
I am so blessed
I wasn’t with the army
Erecting high walls
Shooting at civilians
At every check-point
I am so blessed

Losing my father
In one of their raids
I am so blessed
That it was not I
Flying planes of terror
Firing that missile
Then Laughing and rejoicing
The mission was a success
I am so blessed

Watching my brother
Being taken away
I am so blessed
I wasn’t one of those
Kicking till he bled
From his nose and head
I am so blessed

Burying my baby
With a bullet in her heart
I am so blessed
I wasn’t that soldier
Who took a baby’s life
Nor was I his mother
Who welcomed him a hero
When coming back home
I am so blessed

Sleeping in a UN tent
Shivering in the freezing cold
I am so blessed
I wasn't that settler
Who occupied my home
Justifying massacres
With a "PROMISE SO DIVINE"
Then, tossing and turning
All night long
Wondering what's wrong
Haunted by his deeds
Searching like mad
For a long lost peace
Which he can't find
I am so blessed

Holding David’s stone
In my little hand
I am so blessed
I wasn’t giant Goliath
With mass-destruction might
Seeing himself invincible
With no hope in sight
I am so blessed

If you can't respond to Nahida's thought in verse, don't bother any other way. You simply are not able or ready to listen.

I learn a lot from Mazin and Nahida and this does not mean they are agreeing with what I think. I never claimed that. The Mazin quote that explain Islamic perspective “wise or good person is one who holds himself from anger” is something that show that the Muslims as any other human being recognize the importance of wisdom to produce the good which is transcend anger, it does not make it disappear.

About you talking for others, I have a question to you. You stated for many times that you are a good friend of Nahida, and that she wish to communicate. so tell me, is this poetic discussion is the only way we can communicate?

I think we need to put things striate as I see the Palestinians condition and the Zionist movment as one of the causes of it I have a lot of reasons to consider different solution that the one Nahida describe in her poems. ignoring my kind of voice, as ignoring Nahida voice just make the solution "one sided" where it actually lock us in this bloody dance of the conflict which just bring more hardship on the palestinians.

we all have one future to share, we need the wisdom Mohamad is talking about.

Don't go telling us what Mazin told YOU and thinking that this means he agrees with your point of view about playing nice and moving along. We know Mazin and his determination to the unification of his land and the justice for his people, and while he is not a Muslim, he knows well many things about the religion that most of his people follow, and using him to Justify the words of the Prophet in order to silence the anger of the oppressed is a game I don't think Mazin would like to be used in. Why not ask him if it's appropriate to quote him in this way?

Mazin Qumsiyeh told me that Prophet Mohamed saying "wise or good person is one who holds himself from anger" .

Those who delude themselves that if they use their lovey-dovey words they could disguise the true vile nature, the wicked chauvinistic ideology and incessant crimes of the monster of zion

Those who feel no shame in defending a disgraceful entity which happened to be established by terror and maintained by terror and continue to exist by terrorising those under its control

Those who act as a pathetic frayed fig leaf trying to conceal the obscenity and hideous disgrace of their state which was audaciously built upon the destruction of another nation

Those who ludicrously still marvel at and admire the naked emperor’s clothes when everyone in the world could see his pitiful nudity

Those who utter their disingenuous wishes to coexist in peace while choosing to live in a state of denial with their heads in the sand by refusing to acknowledge or remedy their injustices and wrong-doings

Those who refuse to listen to the voice of reason and the call of justice, and muffle each and every sound that asks for it

Those who silence any call for GENUINE and TOTAL reconciliation and block every REAL endeavour that gives an honest diagnosis and point out to the genuine healing process which would lead to reconciliation

Those who attempt to deceive the world by accusing every defiant and decent individual who insists upon full restoration of rights, dignity and humanity of Palestinians, by accusing him/ her of extremism, fanaticism or support of terrorism

Those who endeavour to cover the rays of truth with a sieve of lies

Neither do I desire to waste my breath on, nor do I have the interest to talk to
They are worthy only of their karma

Collaborators of crime, who want to escape responsibility, keep the status quo, and dismiss the due rights of their prey under the disguise of nonsensical words like: “we must accept facts on the ground”
“We must not look back in time”
“We must look forward to the future”

What future, you hypocrites?

What good is a future built upon denied massacres and genocide?
What good is a future built upon incessant theft and lies?
What good is a future, in which the criminals would neither acknowledge their wrong doings nor have the desire to remedy the wounds of their injured victims

What is the meaning of words when actions counteract?
Have they never came across the saying “Actions speaks louder than words”?

Over the past sixty years you had your say and you did what you chose to do,

And now,

Well, guess what?

It’s time for us to speak and for YOU to HEAR our say:

you are not welcome in our stolen land of Palestine with your existing mentality

Before we accept you and welcome you as guests in our land hat you have stolen:

Go

Repent

Wash the blood off your hands
And weep

Weep the souls of the little ones you’ve murdered

Weep the innocent villages you’ve destroyed

Weep the blessed olive trees you’ve uprooted

Weep the tears of little girls you’ve orphaned

Weep the mutilated bodies of small boys you’ve devastated

Weep the tens of thousands of youth you’ve disabled

Weep the tens of thousands of homes you demolished

Weep the millions of aching hearts of refugees you’ve created

Weep the soil of the Holy Land you’ve polluted

Weep the stream waters and ancient wells you’ve poisoned

Weep the hundreds of thousands of bodies you’ve tortured

Weep the hills and orchids you’ve disfigured

Weep the alleyways you’ve dissected

Weep the landscape you’ve cut to pieces

Weep the towns you’ve bombed to oblivion

Weep the dignified women you’ve dishonoured

Weep the enduring elderly you’ve humiliated

Weep the infants you prevented from getting to hospitals

Weep the laughter and giggles of tiny ones you’ve muted

Weep the scents of herbs and blossoms you’ve suffocated

Weep the farms you’ve destroyed and confiscated

Weep the culture of embroidery, humus and falafel you’ve robbed and claimed

Weep the prophets’ messages you abused and defiled

Weep the Divine Guidance you’ve violated

Weep the Ten Commandments you’ve corrupted

And when you weep long enough, hard enough and sincerely enough, you will discover that don’t need to come to us begging us to talk to you or to forgive you, you won’t need to go around the web scattering, boasting and blathering about peace

Because if and when your repentance is genuine it will automatically show in your actions

You will know then what you have to do and how to do it, to be forgiven

And then and only then, you WILL find “peace” that you allegedly seek

we are different people who live on this earth. we come to be in opposite side of a conflict as people call me Israeli and call you Palestinian.

I born in relative safety and miraculously grew up to be a person who think we all deserve the condition of safety to our children.

as You answer me with poems for any time I engage to talk I see the emotional level of reaction and understand that us Israeli I do not have your trust, and better not to trust you as you expect me to be punished.

Sadly you do not expose your human side where you can see I am a no sheep no wolf I am human as you seeking better life for our children.

I Believe in Miracles

You can break my bones
My free spirit is invincible

You can cause me the loss of sight
The light of my insight
You’ll never take away
In the shadows of darkness
Lies the corpse of your might

***
You can destroy my house
The windows of my hope,
You cannot break
The pillars of my faith
You can never shake

***
You can threaten me
With weapons of death
And mass destruction
Implanting fear in my heart
You cannot achieve
Nor can you cut off
My divine connection

***
With a missile
You can tear my body apart
My soul however
Is out of your reach
And is forever intact

***
You claimed victory in six days!
Victorious are those
With a dignified gaze
Facing tanks with tender flesh
And only with stones,
The F16 fighter blaze

***
You can never defeat my will to be
Because my power that you cannot explain
Grows from within the roots of my pain

***
You depend on the United States
For wealth and war supply
My infinite strength stems from
My creator, the One most high

***
I can show you the way
To victory, just say:
“In the name of God
Most gracious, Most merciful
The loving, the Just
The source of peace and light”
Strip away your greed and lust
You’ll be surprised!
Enjoy the transformation
Of your soul and heart

***
Examine your deeds and
Put your life to the test
Can you see what wrongs you’ve sown?
Were you planting roses
Or were you planting thorns?

***
Listen to your heart,
The true story you shall hear
Let your soul vision be your guide
The picture will be ever so clear

***
A few words are all you need to say:
“Forgive me God”
And all your sins will be washed away

***
“I’m sorry Palestine”
For all the pain I caused you
“I’m sorry children of Palestine
For being so cruel
Digging your graves
I’m not your superior
You are not my slaves”

***
Heaven will be yours
And on Earth will be peace
When you begin to care

***
In my heart you’ll find a place
And my land we can share

***
I believe in miracles
And that day I shall see
Because God is only just
God is only fair

I do have a different opinion — apparently — about one thing, though.

I agree that it will mean living in the lands with equal rights for all — even those once seen as inferiors — even in joy!

I do not, think, however, that there will be a return to 'status quo ante' — the way things were before. Let me explain.

I have seen many, many Restorative Justice processes at work. They require agreement among all the parties.

True Restorative Justice means that Truth & Reconciliation Processes of some kind will take place, such as were held in South Africa. The results might not be perfect, but the peoples of the lands will cry together at the great harm that has been allowed to come to pass. They will form elements of common narrative where they bring themselves to a place where they can embrace the other. The haters and the most aggressive of the usurpers will be marginalized, and the policies of the region will begin to reflect common goals among the nations.

An ocean of light will flow over the ocean of darkness, as George Fox, the creator of Quakerism, prophesied.

As I see it, the Hamas articles calling for the killing of Jews and the abolition of Israel will have to fall by the wayside somehow. Similar attitudes and weaknesses of the Israelis will have to end as well.

The Right of Return will indeed have to be balanced out with the Law of Return. A large 'middle way' contingent will have to be grown, in each of the populaces, which sees their way clear to honoring *both* in ways that are both reasonable and feasible.

Yes, I am attacked incessantly over on MEPEACE because I point to justice as the solution. But it is Restorative Justice that I am calling for. Most people in the world don't understand the distinction between Restorative Justice and punishment 'justice', which merely continues cycles of violence. They think that punishment justice will just bring wave after wave after wave of violence. So they think I am calling for punishment justice or 'payback' (retaliation), or that what I am calling for would let others do that to them. I am sure it would not.

I would like to personally hear your account of why you and how you were banned in MEPEACE. I do not think it could happen with you doing nothing whatsoever that some might find objectionable. If you were to rejoin right now and say you have a budding hope that peace with justice can be reached, I think you would be allowed to stay.

If you were banned before because you were calling for justice, that is because somehow people were hearing that as 'punishment justice', and/or interpreting remarks like 'all the stolen lands returned to the rightful owners' as a call to a return to the way things were before the Naqba. Don't you know that is impossible?

But things can be *better* than the way they were before if the peoples of the region join together with hope and optimism, and commitment to the guidance of the self-same G-d (Allah) that they all worship.

I speak as a peacemaker, here to help mend the wounds and bring the recovery.
