Informing Americanized Jews

Informing Americanized Jews

"Israel chooses conflict over peace." This is a peculiar mindset typical of many Americans and some American Jews. They are willing to fight to the last drop of Israeli blood. They wonder why our region rejects their brand of democracy.

The intellectuals among them believe that peace is possible through negotiation and compromise. How sad they are when they discover these paths closed by Arabs!

So, the 'peace talks' become one-sided: Jews communicating with Jews. Sixty years of conversing with ourselves are quite enough, thank you.

Ari Sharon was right to grant them self-rule and to build high walls. Now, if everyone shuts his mouth and tends his garden, we may have calm.

There are not two sides to every story. You can't always get what you want. Being an Israeli is a lot more than being in Israel.

A Message from Carmen Mariela, ICARO

A Message from Carla Mariela, ICARO

Colombian, Ecuadoran and Venezuelan Friends:

Let's show that the bonds that unite the people of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela are stronger than the egos of our leaders.

Let's show that we condemn terrorism and respect sovereignty

Let's show that no government will force us to shoot another countryman of our countries.

Let's show that we are more, many more of us that don't imagine a Latin America in war

Let's show that in spite of history, we are not condemned to it

Let's show that our differences are valuable, and that our diversity is our treasure

Let's show that today a generation blooms, that longs to grow up in peace

"Pass the ball, pass your voice"
