What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?: War, Hunger, Poverty, Education, Our Planet, Violence, Human Rights, Our Shrinking Freedom

More: When we come out of fear instead of love and compassion, we can't see the other as a reflection of ourselves. We are all one, so as long as we see ourselves as separate,peace will be out of reach.

More about me: I was born and raised in Israel. At 16 I knew that I didn't belong there and started looking for where I did feel at home. Didn't do the compulsory military service because I didn't want to be a part of a killing machine. Ended up in Australia on my travels and met my ex husband who is Lebanese and a compassionate, giving man. We have a beautiful girl who is 12 and though we're not together anymore, we are still very good friends and are proud of our overcoming all the hatred and prejudice of our birth countries. We chose love over fear,peace over war,acceptance over judgment,and inclusion over separation. I live with my daughter in Byron-Bay and teach at a kindergarten based on the Steiner philosophy. I am blessed and give thanks and gratitude for my life each minute of every day.

My sister in law, also from Gaza, lives in Sydney. How far is Byron Bay from there, she would love to meet you, I'm sure.
