this story doesn't end, but it's making history
and we're part of it!
young people of different backgrounds, religions, cultures, generations, social class testified to the building of universal brotherhood as the deepest longing of humanity
and worth living for-living for something greater.
the sight of Egyptians waving their flags high in the air while the Palestinians danced in a circle would make you believe that we are living for a UNITED WORLD.
"The story only has meaning when it makes history and you have come to do this." -Tamas Ludacs
the moment has arrived to unite all nations, share a taste of your own culture and believe that a universal brotherhood is the deepest longing of humanity!
The way I numbered my days had meaning to me, but
probably made you question why?
Well I’ve been writing about my experiences related to Israel-Palestine,
specifically the “Coexistence in the Middle East, the name of the summer course
that drew me tolive,
study and experience Jerusalem. 11
was the number of classes we had as each day seemed to leave me questioning
more because the situation grew in complexity. However it wasn’t until the end
that I pieced the puzzle together, where I realized the answer I knew all
along.
Before I say the answer, I’ll start with the question.
How can these two people- Israelis and
Palestinians- find peace?
This question led to different opinions and
beliefs as I searched for the answer from the outside, but the real answer I
found within my own experiences.
Within every
experience I’ve encountered persons,
Each person I’ve encountered either an Israeli,
Arab, Christian, Jew, Muslim,
I’ve tried to love as a friend, a neighbour, a brother
and sister.
I knew the answer all along because peace is
possible not just between Israelis and Palestinians, but actually it is the
deepest
longing of all humanity and the only reason why I along with 12 000
other young people from around the world will amplify at GENFEST 2012 that
“To speak is
to live” shared by a Holocaust survivor, when I visited Yad
Vashem-Holocaust Memorial Museum.Those words caught me off guard as living is
speaking. However in the circumstances of the Holocaust, an injustice-
To speak is
to live.
This Holocaust survivor shared living in “6 years
of hell” because he kept silent of his experience, but he ended his story
rightfully with saying that to make the
world better, we must try
To love one
another
That was the first time I visited the Holocaust
Memorial Museum, it was to simply understand the foundation of the State of
Israel, which 5 million Jews were displaced after WWII. Hearing the testimonies
of the survivors and seeing the vivid images of the brutality and torture made
me imagine the experience of the Jewish life during the Holocaust. I was
determined to return again and I did so with my friend- a Palestinian. If you
have understood my previous posts, this would be surprising because for
Palestinians to understand how the Holocaust led to the State of Israel is to
recognize their homeland “Palestine” being dissolved by Israel. Despite this
fact that most people at the museum were either tourists or Jews, my
Palestinian friend expressed her desire to share this experience with others-other Palestinians that is in hopes of being able
to better understandthe
“Other”(Israeli).
Understanding is being educated.
and Education is the most powerful weapon which can be used
