2018, December 2018, November 2018, October 2018, September 2018, August 2018, July 2018, June 2018, May 2018, April 2018, March 2018, February 2018, January On April 9, 2018, in Gaza Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh 'Hamas) declared, 10 days after the start of a long series of protests along the border with Israel : "Gaza enters a new stage of peaceful and popular resistance" before a large mural with the portraits of Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Mandela. Just the programme that we started there in secondary schools, ten years ago.
The same man, however, soon after celebrated "the generation of the tunnels, of the missiles, of the suicide attacks".
This double talk of the people in charge in Gaza, with the ceaseless attacks against the border, has detered Women Wage Peace from renewing their March of Hope, which had led us in October last year in the Israeli communities along the border, these "Gaza envelope" communities now exposed to the many attempts at breaking through and to the incendiary balloons - as well as to the hundreds of missiles and mortar shells that rained on them between November 12 and November 13...
Max Schindler, The Jerusalem Post, June 11, 2016
An Israeli living in Ramallah ?
July 3, 2018
We just came back from the border. Some of us managed to get very close to the fence and saw the demonstration on the other side. We spoke via cellphone with few people in Gaza and they told us that there are 20,000-30,000 women demonstrators, which is great. The army shot tear gas and it was very stuffy.
We'll try to send pictures and videos later on.

Zehava Shaul :
“You have my son Oron, and I have no information regarding his fate. Not from you and not from the Israeli government. We, the people, pay the price of the violent conflict between the two sides, and the price is unbearable.”
“I haven’t been living my life since July 20, 2014. I don’t wish on any mother, Israeli or Palestinian, to go through what I’ve been going through since that day. I appealed to the Israeli government and I appeal to you with the same request: bring my son back,”
“I am aware of the humanitarian crisis the residents in the Gaza Strip have to deal with. The Gazans shouldn't pay the price of this conflict. On the contrary, I see great importance in calming the situation and finding a solution that would make the life of the people on both sides easier. Enough. This is the time for both sides to find a compromise in order to advance a peace deal that would include the return of our boys and humanitarian actions in exchange for Palestinian prisoners."

In December 2016, a journalist asked the movie star Isabelle Adjani : "You have beauty, intelligence, sensitivity, success. What is lacking for you ?"
This is a crisp, ordinary Monday morning in Europe. Every morning after dawn, at the desk of Peace Lines, we scan the news from the most barren land as far as "hope" goes, for traces of the elusive mind metal that will pull us through. You may remember that the human body is composed of about thirty rare metals that help it function (iron, 4 grams; zinc, about 2 grams; lead, one tenth of a gram; copper, even less; nickel, chrome, silver, gold, uranium even, in minute quantities, along with lithium which stabilizes our mood...). Aluminum, cadmium, titanum, tantalum, you name it, it's all there. The only one that has not been listed is mandelum, which precisely reinforces our mood, here named after the man who most worked on it...
Think of a man who spent 27 crucial years of his life behind bars, who got his freedom at the age of 72, and was elected President of his country when he was 75 : he should know something about hope ! Actually, this is what he wrote about it to his wife, when he was in a small cell :
To find the way back to hope ? You have to cherish and nourish the belief that there is such a thing as hope, such a mind mineral, rare as it has become.
Our challenge has been to go dig it out from the most unlikely places (in common "wisdom") : from Jenin to Gaza, from Sderot to Jerusalem... But maybe you should hear this song, one of the mandelum songs, about something that happened in Jenin, and Petah Tikva in Israel...
The story of a Palestinian boy, Ahmed Khatib, who was shot by an Israeli soldier for playing with a plastic gun... whose parents saved 5 lives, by accepting to donate his organs... After his death, his father created the Ahmed Khatib Center for Peace in the Jenin refugee camp to provide children alternatives to life (and death) on the streets, such as a film-making course, connected to the reopening of the Cinema Jenin. "This kind of action is a form of resistance," said Zakaria Zbeida, ex-leader of the Fatah's armed wing in Jenin. "Five members of the Israeli community are now carrying part of a Palestinian. I don't think someone with a Palestinian organ will now kill a Palestinian."
If this happened in a land torn by warfare, fear and hatred, maybe the likes of Ahmed's parents are the kind of people who know something about the way back to hope... Do you remember the gold rushes of the past ? The way some men would leave everything behind in their quest for the fabulous metal? Our stand, as Peace Liners, is that Hope is much more precious than silver and gold - but it won't be bought from some miner or jeweller.
Looking for the way back to hope ? It goes through experience. Experience of long ago, experience of some moments ago, experience of the cycles, all the cycles we surf on, consciously or not.
What is the price of experience ? asked both poets William Blake and Van Morrison. Do men buy it for a song ? We all pay for experience, in years of our life, i.e. with all that a man hath. The more aware the better. And when it feels like a sentence to 27 years behind invisible bars, that's when you most need the opening. The hopening. Have you really looked at this crushing routine from all angles ?
But where to find the beginning of the road back to hope ? If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, then hope is in the mind of the seeker. It's there, right there, within reach. All you need is to switch to another level, another altitude - in Bertrand Piccard's words (the first to complete a non-stop balloon flight around the world, and to conceive and man the first round-the-world solar flight!).
Not that you have to be another Mandela, Leymah Gbowee, Khatib, or Piccard, to keep your heart pumping hope steadily to every part of your body, pepping up your spirits. You only need to make room to find the hopening. Close some connections, (re)open some channels. Unclutter, reorganize, follow a different plan. Dare challenge the unpredictable : take your risks, go for it.

Opinion
The Arab World Needs to Move on From the Liberation of Palestine
Israel is going nowhere, and we in the Arab world have to deal with it. That means offering Israelis prosperity, security and friendship; all Israel needs to do is overcome their prejudices and give Palestinians their rights
For the people caught in the enduring Israeli-Palestinian conflict, their own leaders and Western intermediaries have failed.
Summits, conferences, accords and a roadmap going nowhere have been a waste of time and effort. Earlier attempts at finding solutions brokered by U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were genuine - but were stymied. Those that followed were either fig leaves or half-hearted.
Today, there is not only "nothing on the table," there is no table. [...]
There is plenty of blame to apportion. But regurgitating past errors of judgment has been done over and over again. It is beyond time for a new page to be opened in this unending book of horrors. How long must we go on rehashing and repeating more than 50 years' worth of mistakesPresidents, prime ministers, Middle East envoys and UN Secretary Generals, however well-meaning, have achieved precisely nothing. Relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority are on the rocks. Rockets and missiles fly both ways over Gaza.
I am convinced that peace will not come from the top down, but rather requires grassroots movements - on the lines of Peace Now, established by Israeli reservists in 1978 to advocate for a two-state solution. [...]
The climate has worsened since the movement’s heyday, currently dominated by fear, hatred and a thirst for revenge. Those destructive emotions need to change. Trust between the two peoples needs to be built brick by brick; they should learn to see each other as fellow human beings with the same hopes and dreams. Peace Now’s philosophy must be revived in the hearts and minds of not only Israelis but also Palestinians.
Israelis take part in a rally in support of establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel to end the conflict, in Tel Aviv, May 27, 2017.Oded Balilty/APIsraelis and Palestinians must put a lid on the past, no matter how painful and bloody, else they will suffocate what could be a bright future. Yesterday is just fodder for history books. The only path of any value is forward, a path that takes us away from dark shadows into the light.
What Palestinians have to gain from a peaceful conclusion to this conflict is well known. The tiny spark of hope that gave them the courage to carry on is all but stifled, replaced by desperation, evidenced by recent mass protests in Gaza resulting in dozens of deaths and thousands of injuries.
Their courage is beyond reproach. But other than placing their plight on the international front burner for a brief moment in time, such demonstrations are exercises in futility at a great cost to those who took part.
Yes, Israel’s reputation for brutality has been endorsed again. European states and even sectors of the American Jewish community are outraged.
Palestinian protesters flee from incoming tear gas canisters during clashes following a demonstration along the Gaza - Israel border. June 1, 2018SAID KHATIB/AFP[...] My appeal is directed at the people of Israel, so used to the status quo that they may be unaware that reconciliation with stable, prosperous Arab states on condition Palestinians get their rights will provide them with untold benefits.
Those benefits include inflows of investments from the GCC and other Arab countries to boost Israel’s economy. That translates into new business opportunities, improved infrastructure, greater opportunities and prosperity.
They include the ability to travel and be welcomed as tourists throughout most of the Middle East.
They include a reduction in anti-Semitism exacerbated, in part, by the occupation.
They include a potential end to the conscription of young Israelis and mandatory reserve duty.
They include an exchange of talent and technologies. Multilateral cultural and social interactions. The end of aggression and loathing.
A woman and her baby standing near an area hit by a missile launched from Gaza in the town of Sderot, Israel. July 15, 2014Yotam Ronen / Activestills.orgAnd they include security and intelligence cooperation, buffering Iran’s belligerence.
I would ask Israelis to set aside their long-held prejudices and dig deep to see what is in their interests. The same goes for Arabs.
Think about your children and grandchildren. Don't indoctrinate them with your fears and hatreds. Don't pollute the minds of future generations. Young people deserve to be carefree, not forced to wear uniforms and carry weapons. Allow them to formulate their own views.
Give them a chance to move forward together, free from the weight of your emotional baggage and bad experiences. Changing attitudes is a crucial prerequisite for Israelis and Arabs to live together with mutual respect on the same soil.
Like it or not, the Israeli state is recognized by the United Nations and the world at large. Israel boasts high-calibre university graduates, ground-breaking inventions and cutting-edge research. Better to deal with it than fruitlessly wishing it away. Israel with its nuclear weapons and military might is going nowhere.
[...] We all prayed for Palestine to be liberated and for Palestinians to have their own state, but is that achievable now? Or is that simple, wishful thinking within our stubbornly romantic minds? Wishful thinking will not permit the Palestinian people to live in dignity and security without fear.
Let us shift our thinking towards a logical solution that will secure a better future for our nations, for Arab and Israeli youth and especially for those young Palestinians, born in conflict, who deserve the same chances enjoyed by their peers everywhere.
Israelis and Palestinians should revolt against the useless old leadership and outdated playbooks keeping them on different sides of the fence. Tear down those figurative and material walls. People power could be a game changer. The men in suits bent on consolidating power have let you down. Peace engendered by the very people who have the most to gain (and to lose) could work where all else has failed.
