Making peace is dangerous and hard. You make enemies of people who are ignorant and afraid. Be very careful how you argue. Make sure that your facts are straight. Remember that given the chance most of us are very generous and loving people regardless of our various religions and the severity of our ancient rules. As governments and institutions we generally run a constant risk of being pretty nasty. That's also natural That's how we all protect ourselves from one and other. Individually we are mostly wonderful. It's going to get really awful over the next few weeks possibly months. Remember who you are and start from there. The whole world needs you me, us at our best right now. Peace Kindness Tolerance and Love That's how we are going to save the world.

Dear Daniel,

You are absolutely correct.  Peace has to come from the common, average individual.  There is, quite simply, no other way.

Peace be with you always.......

Daniel,

I am so glad that you and your son survived that close call.  Don't be like so many others and let the emotion of the moment grow hatred inside of you - far too many are letting this happen.

And certainly if we could all just talk about our differences as people, one to one, it would be a different world....

Peace, ummziba.

The ground was lurching with the waves of the first impacts south bound motorists ran toward us caught in the open. we just reached a car dealership when evrything started exploding around us I made Joey lay down between a wall and a pillar and sheilded him the best I could with my own body. A soldier maybe two years older than my son appeared out of nowhere and shielded him the same way from the other side. Yellow Smoke was coming from the hits and police and ambulances were converging from all directions. We ran back to the car I drove three blocks pulled over and we just held each other. I'm still going to the demonstration in Haifa by the Dan Panorama tonight against this war. This is what civilians in Lebenon and Palestine are experiencing every day and worse but when I felt my sons heart beating under me and looked in to the eyes of that young soldier who was willing to use his own body as a shield to help me save my son, I felt defiant and proud that I am a Jew and that I was a soldier in the IDF because folks this is what its about. That and I was also thanking Allah I hadn't wet my pants I respect Islam You are beautiful and neccessary. I do wish we could all just talk about our differences instead of hurting each other. Nasrallah You dumb F--- You missed me!!!!!

Bismillah,

We are all very happy that you and Joey are safe.  We will pray for your continued good health along with that of the Lebanese and Gazzans.  This might seem confusing to some for us to pray for both sides to be safe, but I'm sure that Allah, The All-Knowing can work it out.  I pray that all of the weapons malfunction immediately.  Hey, it could happen.

How do you feel about your statement that I bolded above today?

Who do you think should protect the Lebanese people?  Israel should stop bombing.  America should stop sending new and improved weapons, but who should help the Lebanese after the bombing stops?  Maybe Israel for a start.  Just a thought.

Salaamu Alaykum

How ARE you?  There is nothing like a darn good scare to really shake up one's inner solitude.  Be sure that you and your son take plenty of opportunity to talk about what happened...don't let it fester inside (though I think you won't, you don't seem that kind ).

And, do you think the demonstration made any difference to anybody?

Peace, ummziba.
