Because we are Jews
Because We Are Jews
By Rabbi Mordechi Weberman
And our response is very simple:
It is precisely because we are Jews that we march with the Palestinians and raise their flag!
It is precisely because we are Jews that we demand that the Palestinian peoples be returned to their homes and properties!
Yes, in our Torah we are commanded to be fair. We are called upon to pursue justice. And, what could be more unjust then the century old attempt of the Zionist movement to invade an other people's land, to drive them out and steal their property?
The early Zionists proclaimed that they were a people without a land going to a land without a people.
Innocent sounding words.
But utterly and totally untrue.
Palestine was a land with a people. A people that were developing a national consciousness.
We have no doubt that would Jewish refugees, have come to Palestine not with the intention of dominating, not with the intention of making a Jewish state, not with the intention of dispossessing, not with the intention of depriving the Palestinians of their basic rights, that they would have been welcomed by the Palestinians, with the same hospitality that Islamic peoples have shown Jews throughout history. And we would have lived together as Jews and Muslims lived before in Palestine in peace and harmony.
To our Islamic and Palestinian friends around the world, please hear our message --
There are Jews around the world who support your cause. And when we support your cause we do not mean some partition scheme proposed in 1947 by a UN that had no right to offer it.
When we say support your cause we do not mean the cut off and cut up pieces of the West Bank offered by Barak at Camp David together with justice for less than 10 % of the refugees.
We do not mean anything other than returning the entire land, including to Jerusalem to Palestinian sovereignty!
At that point justice demands that the Palestinian people should decide if and how many Jews should remain in the Land.
This is the only path to true reconciliation.
But we demand yet more. WE demand that in returning the land back to its rightful owners we have not yet done enough. There should be an apology to the Palestinian people which is clear and precise. Zionism did you wrong. Zionism stole your homes. Zionism stole your land.
By so proclaiming we proclaim before the world that we are the people of the Torah, that our faith demands that we be honest and fair and good and kind.
We have attended hundreds of pro Palestinian
Fear not my friends. Evil cannot long triumph. The Zionist nightmare is at its end. It is exhausted. Its latest brutalities are the death rattle of the terminally ill.
We will yet both live to see the day when Jew and Palestinian will embrace in peace under the Palestinian flag in Jerusalem.
And ultimately when mankind's Redeemer will come the sufferings of the present will long be forgotten in the blessings of the future.

Dear friend
I just read your letter and i wish to share my visions through a letter I
sent to Marc from Peace cafe
Thank you for your sharing AND
holding Space with Wakefulness
I was in Israel in 1998 and as naive as I can be
I was amazed by the beautiful Gardens created by the Israelians.
I was also surprised to see all the fences around the kiboutz
and my thought at the time was that it was a reproduction of concentration camp.
Generations repeat patterns.
Then I asked my friend Ran why all these fences?
As I feel a fence is offensive
He said to protect us!
FROM WHAT?
Every country seems to have a different mind control plan
but it all sums to the same
monopoly as"real life game"
and keep you think that you are just this or that..
keep people in fear and survival and depression
to keep humanity under low frequency.
Also with my friend Ran in the old city,
WE entered this ancient Temple by Synchronicity
and met with a Rabbi.
I shared with him that I was traveling the World
and singing for the Earth
and asked to join my prayers with him
and he told me I could not come and pray with them
because I was not of their Religion.
In My Naive way I asked him:
'How come? I thought We Were All ONe!
His face contracted and he replied to me:
What? This is where we are heading for
but we are not there yet!
I looked et him directly to his Soul and said;
Ah No?
I know We are All One!
that seed was planted 11 years ago
Now is the Time of Liberation
I just saw this Magnificent intervention by Rachel Corrie
This is the way to do .
True Abundance is shared Abundance
In the New Reality
Gardeners create Garden to Beautify
and weave Abundance with Nature
where ever They are
and the Garden of Eden cannot be owned
because
it is truly Mother Earth's Land
our MotherLand
Enlarge the Garden
Share the Gardening Knowledge
Hear all the Children play and laugh
because they feel honored for their Presence
Whatever culture our religion they chose to be born in
Gift yourself to be in presence of these Angels
reflecting your True Nature.
Share the cycles of Nature and Life
Offer the seeds of Cooperation
In order to mend all generations and differences.
Also activate New Ways!
it smells fermented all these repetitions
of even the handshake of competition. on your page.
I have been sending you many Spiral of cooperation on Peace cafe
this is a main key for Peace.
As we are now in the White Magnetic WorldBrigder Cycle
which the purpose is to
equalize DEATH as Opportunity
it is time to shed old ways old paradigmes
because it holds humanity's evolution down.
and All of YOu

has chosen to unite and create New Ways.
In my Galactic Language we call this CHA for
COLLECTIVE HEROIC ACTIVATION
THE COURAGE TO LIVE NEW WAYS.
