Thank you for sharing this powerful reflection. I am with you spiritually. I hope I can contribute to your struggle for freedom and justice.

It is so sad to see Israel’s military destroy both Palestine – and Israel. Nothing is more self-destructive that oppression of human beings.

Our listeners in 26 states are kept informed about the situation in Palestine. I would like very much to record an interview with you by telephone about the current struggle (the wall) and know if there would be any merit in our coming to the West Bank to cover the story first-hand. Let me know your response to this inquiry as soon as possible. Your uncle, Alex, is a particularly good friend of mine. We stand with you in this cause!

Some day we have to prevail. Imagine, even in Iraq civil society has begun to demonstrate for nonviolence. At least one part of the world is even harder to work in than S. Bethlehem! By the way, Jerlina was thrilled to meet you. All our encouragement and blessings, Michael Dear Sami,
