Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, and what you’ve seen. This points us in an extremely important direction – becoming aware of the systemic cruelty that is going on around the world, so that we can change.

Systems of violence thrive on ignorance. Awareness brings compassion.

My husband has a cousin living in Bethanina, a town adjacent to Jerusalem, who built a five story apartment building housing him and eight other families. He obtained a permit to build but during construction, it extended several feet onto the neighbor’s property. Israel told him he would have to destroy the building even though the neighbor said he would sell the property to his cousin. He did try taking it to court but was unsuccessful. One day the government showed up and gave the families one hour to vacate the premises. Most of the personal belongings with their furniture was destroyed in the implosion of the building. None of these people had participated in terroistic activities. The neighbor was willing to sell him the land involved and yet all lost their home. A 55 year old man living there died one week after seeing his home destroyed.

We may call Israel a democratic country but where is the justice for these families. Remember how the early American settlers rioted against England for “Taxations without Representation.” What would we do today if our government came and destroyed our homes and we had no one in congress to represent us?

I was surely ignorant of the issues!. We have seen none of this published anywhere! Thanks Tim for being a voice for truth. Surprising to me that even in this age of mass information, this sort of thing can still be supressed in our media!
