"Thank you for the post, Ortal. I echo your way of seeing things, and I am sure many Israelis are too. While attending the demonstration to mark 43 years of occupation last Saturday, I saw the so many people - young and old, pronounce their feelings…"

"I do love the sentiment, Ortal, you've hit the nail for me ... For a while, I too, found myself swinging from one sided reactive position to another. There is something so seductive in the chase after isolated 'truths' or seeming…"

Basil Keilani commented on the blog post 'Today I protested - or - Non-violence or Non-existence'

"Yes, of course, violence does beget violence. Only if you are sure to be able to defeat all your enemies and vanquish them should you use this tool. Of course, it is an immoral thing to do. When the whites did it to Indians, they could get away with…"

Oliver Haack commented on the blog post 'Today I protested - or - Non-violence or Non-existence'

"Thanks for this sane analysis, Ortal - and, yes, "you cannot combat violence with violence, only nonviolence can triumph violence." We need to repeat that a million times if necessary."

Today I protested - or - Non-violence or Non-existence

Today I protested. I haven't done so in years. I think the last time was in 1996 or1997 a year or two after Yitzhak Rabin was shot. Since then I kept thinkingthat protests were not for me. I didn't want to belong to them and kept findingexcuses why not to go.This week I protested. I could no longer stand aside and watch from afar. I felt Ihad to do something. I talked to people, I posted comments and articles on Facebookbut I do that every day on everyday issues. This time it was different,…See More

"Vasudev kutukbkam" entire world is a family.This is the teaching of our indian culture and tradition.This is a wonderful site to to know our inner self and each other and can make a world a family.
We created countries, boundaries,religions,cast,race for any reason.But this the time to realize that we are one and naturally interconnected with each other which we can just realize by watching inhale and exhale of our breaths. The source is same without any discrimination of religion and boundaries, equally for all living life of universe .When we understand this simple thing then we must understand how our and other's life is equally important, valuable and respectable .
We should follow the nature's rule,God has given us a human life not for destruction but to look after the wellbeing of all living life so that peace and harmony can establish in this planet.
I shall be happy if we could be a friend with harmonious relationship.

אני ערבי פלסטיני מהכפר חיזמה הנמצא בין ירושלים רמאללה
כשהייתי בגיל 15 נלחמתי נגד הכיבוש הישראלי
בשבל החופש הייתי חושיב כל אדם יהודי חייל או אזרח גבר או אישה קטן או גדול צריך לההרג
עד בא יום נסיתי לשלול לבן אדם את חיים שלו לא הייתי מכיר אתו היה בשביל יהודי וכל יהודי היא המטרה שלי להרוג
תאמינו לי הייתי רק ילד לא מבין כלום בפוליטיקה
או את הסכסוך הערבי הישראלי
בסוף נעצרתי לתקופה של 12 שנים
למדע כל זה קרה בשנת האינתיפאדה הראשונה 1987. באותו שלב. אף אחד לא מדבר על שלום
רק מדברים שני הצדדים רק על אלימות

התחלתי לגדול ואני בכלא התחלתי ללמוד לקרוא
ספרים על פוליטיקה. ספרות. שירה וסיפורים העולם.
השלום במדריד.
ועידת מדריד נתן לי תקווה החיים לחיות בשלןם
ובכבוד . למדתי כי אלימות תבי רק אלימות
והשלום הא הפתרון היחיד בין שני העמים למען עתיד יפה מכובד בין שני העמים
אנחנו חיים על אותה קרקע.אנחנו שכנים שותים מאותו המים מתפללים עבור אלוהים אחד
אנו צריכים לחיות בשלום על בסיס של הדת לאלוהים והאדמה לכלאם

I am a Palestinian Arab from Hizmeh, a village between Jerusalem and Ramallah. When I was 15 years old I fought against the Israeli Occupation in search of freedom. At that time I thought every Jewish person, whether soldier or citizen, man or woman, young or old, should be killed. I rejected the right for any Jew to live and every Jew was a target. I was just a kid, believe me, and I didn’t understand anything about politics or the Arab-Israeli conflict. I was arrested and sat in jail for 12 years. This was during the first intifada from 1987. At that time nobody talked about peace but only of violence. I matured during my time in jail. I started studying and reading books on politics, literature, poetry, and about the Madrid Conference.

It gave me hope to live in peace and dignity. I learned that violence only breeds violence and that peace is the only solution for the two nations, the only way for both to have a respectful and beautiful future. We live on the same land. We are neighbors. We drink the same water and both pray to a monotheistic God. We must live in peace on the basis of religion for God and land for everyone.
