Wow... Tremendous respect to what this man is doing. That takes remarkable honesty, integrity, and courage. This is one of the most important places any real change will come from. Wishing for hope and help for all those who are trying to walk this path. The day this view becomes mainstream and is upheld by their leaders and teachers, there will soon follow real peace. I think all Israel can do in the meantime is: - live as best we can as people: doing whats just and right with each other; kind and compassionate; taking care of those in need, and trying to walk humbly in G-ds ways for us as best we can - every little bit is good : ) - praying to יְהוָה G-d for forgiveness, help, protection, and good guidance - continue to do the very best we can to protect life - to stop the rockets being fired into Israel - to stop the terrorists as best we can - to keep on doing our utmost to avoid any civilian casualties, which is what we have been doing and is very praiseworthy, above and beyond anything done by any other defending army in world history (see Col. Richard Kemp statements at UN) youtube/watch?v=NX6vyT8RzMo This is despite the Palestinians teaching their children to want to be suicide bombers, and to try to martyr themselves for the cause of hatred if it harms a Jew; and despite using their own people as human shields surrounding the rocket launchers from which they are firing indiscriminately into civilian areas into Israel in the hopes of killing whatever Jews they can. youtube/watch?v=etDb5tXPawc - to keep on putting the truth out there so that some people might stop mistakenly supporting those among the Arab peoples who are hell bent on murder and terrorism and genocide - to help those who had been intending to stand up for justice, a fair and right world, humanity, compassion, and a good world for all its people to actually learn to support peace as they had meant to - by standing up against the hatred for the Jewish people, as we would stand against the hatred against any and all people. - by researching and fact checking, realizing that what they hear in the media may be biased and misleading - by also extending their critical examination to looking into what the Palestinians people are doing, and what they intend, and to recognize that they recently formed a unity government with a known terrorist organisation, Hamas. (Would you not bat an eye if Mexico for example formed a unity government with Al-Qaeda? Do you not think it shows anything about popular opinion in the country when this is who the people elect - a known terrorist organisation?) - by taking the time to actually read and listen to what Hamas and the Palestinian government stands for: > The Hamas Charter: avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp > Hamas in their own words: youtube/watch?v=i08L09V0_sg - instead of standing there shouting down with Israel, to stand *for* the best in us all and to look for solutions, and work for those. - not to indiscriminately pursue condemnation and harm therefrom on all the individuals of Israel without separating between the issue you think should be amended, and between the actual people and lives you are shouting down with. - by standing up against the de-legitimization of Israel, and against the false condemnation and scorn put upon Israel for living in their land, which is the one and only native home of the Jewish people, inhabited by the Jewish people for over 3500 years ... Israel which is attested in the worlds #1 bestseller throughout history, the Bible, by G-d, to be the eternal promised home of the Jewish people. The promise was unconditional, and G-d confirmed it as the home of the Jewish people at least 55 times with an oath and stated, at least 12 times that the covenant was everlasting. - to recognize the rightful home of the Jewish people, Israel, whose presence as a people, and as a nation, is also proven by mountains of historical and archaeological evidence, both in the land and in the records of the neighbouring nations - to acknowledge Israels legitimacy and legal rights to their Jewish national home in the land which has been recognized fully by the League of Nations - a unanimous vote of all 51 countries - and then again legally recognized by the United Nations. Please read: mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/mandate_for_palestine.htm - by ceasing to call Israel an occupier, a term only legally applicable to one nation living in a land that belongs legally to another nation, whereas in this situation the land in question does not legally belong to any other people, but rather to properly call it disputed land ... And to understand and acknowledge that the source of this dispute is not in any way about Jewish families living across the 1947 armistice line, which is the line of cease fire within the borders of Israel, in the area that had been called the Jordanian Occupied West Bank, which Jordan had captured and occupied by war (illegal of course) when Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon failed to drive the Jews into the sea as they had declared their genocidal intent... The line which was never an international border but only represented a temporary line until the Jewish people and the local Arab population could come to their own mutual agreement - by ceasing to falsely portray Israel as an oppressor, when Israel is in fact not subjugating the Arab people, but offers citizenship, and indeed has over a million Arab citizens, in every walk of life including even in parliament. Recognizing that Israel actually supports even the very people trying to kill them, the people in Gaza, with convoys full of food, provides their water, their electricity, and aid, and medical care etc... Please listen to this young man, Arab, Muslim, and proud to call himself a Zionist and an Israeli: https://youtube/watch?v=-fbDjpbBHb4 And please listen to this woman, who shows what it means to be an Arab Israeli, and the good life she has, and the good things she is trying to build: https://youtube/watch?v=z3T57YiOK-I It is important if were going to respond appropriately and address the real issues and move towards healing and peace that we recognize that the root issue is found among those in the Arab peoples who seek to endlessly make a war of aggression and hate against Israel, for dominion and for hate of Jewish people, seeking always with suicide bombers and rockets to kill as many Jews as possible, which is the loudly declared mission of their leaders, and the driving force behind this situation. Note: even the officially stated goal in their Charter is absolute dominion of the entire land, to be achieved specifically by means of armed violence: this is in writing (google, Palestinian Charter), and their leader Abbas recently said, his intent is the removal of every single last Jewish person. It is this which is the real source and cause of this trouble, which perpetuates a situation where their own people are taught to live full of hatred and violence, which is its own crime against those people, and to withhold all offers of peace from them. - by acknowledging that Israel has repeatedly made offers of statehood, dividing their tiny land if it might mean an end to the hostilities against them, accepting partition plans, and over and over trying to make this happen, while every time the Arab leadership has fully rejected any offer of a state if it also meant ceasing their attacks against Israel, and not continuing to pursue dominion of the rest of the country. - to stop justifications of violence and terror, as though some families living a short way over a non-binding armistice line from over sixty years ago, which the Arab peoples themselves officially and forcefully rejected as having any validity, somehow naturally equates to suicide bombers and rockets and all sorts of murder and terror against the Jewish people... ... But instead to actually stand up and rally for tolerance, mutual respect, and co-existence - not co-existence which is predicated on being forced by violence to give away land that is your home, as established by G-d, and witnessed throughout history, and recognized by law... Not by being pressured with terror, by those who still have your utter annihilation in written detail in their Charter, to give your one and only native homeland away... Not blaming you as if the violence is your fault because you havent yet given away enough of your land... Not by shaming any effort at self defence and twistedly re-casting that as though its an act of aggression.... But rather co-existence which is founded on acceptance of Israels right to exist in their one home, alongside the 22 Arab countries of the world... And co-existence which is founded upon real care for all people, and believing in people, and honest and calm and careful research into rights in the land and its correct borders... Co-existence based on justice and mutual respect, and care for every life, with kindness towards our fellow people, and actual love for others as yourself. Please may the Infinite One, our G-d, forgive us all, and help us all to be rescued from any anger or hate or negativity at all in our hearts towards any other person, and to be freed from any will, or sentiment, or ideology that leads to any harm whatsoever, or any injustice against any person... but rather to return us all to each other, to really see ourselves in each other and each other in ourselves, as an awesome and wonderful diversity of life, respecting each other with utmost care and honor for them, and treasuring each other with incredible delight, knowing that we are all really one life, with one heart, and to help us heal through and through and through, and to make total amends with each other, and cry any healings tears we may need to, and to begin now with the most complete and wonder-full and astonishing, sweetest, most complete love for each other, from the very innermost core of our being, to our smallest action with each other in this world, with the greatest happiness, and to move forward together, growing into all that is most wanted for us each, in real Shalom, Salaam, wholeness, harmony and complete peace. :) https://youtube/watch?v=qvWWBK91lSg וְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם, כֹּה-אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, הִנֵּה אֲנִי לֹקֵחַ אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִבֵּין הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הָלְכוּ-שָׁם; וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֹתָם מִסָּבִיב, וְהֵבֵאתִי אוֹתָם אֶל-אַדְמָתָם. וְעָשִׂיתִי אֹתָם לְגוֹי אֶחָד בָּאָרֶץ, בְּהָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּמֶלֶךְ אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּם, לְמֶלֶךְ; וְלֹא יהיה- (יִהְיוּ-) עוֹד לִשְׁנֵי גוֹיִם, וְלֹא יֵחָצוּ עוֹד לִשְׁתֵּי מַמְלָכוֹת עוֹד. וְלֹא יִטַּמְּאוּ עוֹד, בְּגִלּוּלֵיהֶם וּבְשִׁקּוּצֵיהֶם, וּבְכֹל, פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם; וְהוֹשַׁעְתִּי אֹתָם, מִכֹּל מוֹשְׁבֹתֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר חָטְאוּ בָהֶם, וְטִהַרְתִּי אוֹתָם וְהָיוּ-לִי לְעָם, וַאֲנִי אֶהְיֶה לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים. וְעַבְדִּי דָוִד מֶלֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶם, וְרוֹעֶה אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּם; וּבְמִשְׁפָּטַי יֵלֵכוּ, וְחֻקּוֹתַי יִשְׁמְרוּ וְעָשׂוּ אוֹתָם. וְיָשְׁבוּ עַל-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לְעַבְדִּי לְיַעֲקֹב, אֲשֶׁר יָשְׁבוּ-בָהּ, אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם; וְיָשְׁבוּ עָלֶיהָ הֵמָּה וּבְנֵיהֶם וּבְנֵי בְנֵיהֶם, עַד-עוֹלָם, וְדָוִד עַבְדִּי, נָשִׂיא לָהֶם לְעוֹלָם. וְכָרַתִּי לָהֶם בְּרִית שָׁלוֹם, בְּרִית עוֹלָם יִהְיֶה אוֹתָם; וּנְתַתִּים וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אוֹתָם, וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-מִקְדָּשִׁי בְּתוֹכָם לְעוֹלָם. וְהָיָה מִשְׁכָּנִי עֲלֵיהֶם, וְהָיִיתִי לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים; וְהֵמָּה, יִהְיוּ-לִי לְעָם. וְיָדְעוּ, הַגּוֹיִם, כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה, מְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל--בִּהְיוֹת מִקְדָּשִׁי בְּתוֹכָם, לְעוֹלָם. (Ezekiel 37: 21-28) And say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all; neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them; so shall they be My people, and I will be their God. And My servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd; they shall also walk in Mine ordinances, and observe My statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob My servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their childrens children, for ever; and David My servant shall be their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them--it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish them, and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. My dwelling-place also shall be over them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And the nations shall know that I am the LORD that sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
