WE MUST NOT HATE
"I dream With a passion of turning, transforming hatred Into love"
A “collection” of Palestinian and Israeli children’s stories on the conflict in the Middle East
Starting compiling material from the www, then started “writing” the first words
to the :classic’, the great song ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon... and just “feel the sense of empowerment and inspiration” filling our spirit
Thursday 7th Dec in the year 2011 (NZ time)

“Man is a great wall builder
The Berlin Wall
The Wailing Wall of Jerusalem
But the wall most impregnable
Has a moat
flowing with fright
around his heart
A wall without windows for the spirit to breeze through
without a door for love to walk in.”
- OSWALD MTSHALI, Soweto (South African) poet
from ‘My Traitor’s Heart’ by Rian Malan (published by Vintage 1990)

May we all have the courage to try to guide the next generation into a more peaceful, more understanding world.
"It's kinda fun attempting the impossible."
- Walt Disney
“Those who say it’s impossible, should stand aside and make way for those who say: ‘With the right will, commitment, dedication, persistence, courage and especially faith, one sunny day IT’ IS POSSIBLE’!
- craig
"Things appear impossible... until they get done."
- Nelson Mandela
"There is neither east nor west, tribe nor ethnicity, male or female, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist. Christian nor Jew. There is only a God-filled humanity."
"Let each one of us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, co-operation and peace. Let our leaders look at the future with a vision to see things not as they are, but what they could one day become. Rather than borders, let us look at distant horizons together...in the common spirit of the value and dignity of a shared personhood our common humanity as citizens of planet earth."
- craig
"First steps on the path to peace begins with talking, which leads to some understanding... which then leads to negotiation.. which leads to eventual peace."
- craig (as inspired by the words of Amy Biehl)
"There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask 'why'? I dream of things that never were, and ask 'why not'?"
~ Robert F. Kennedy
"Few (of us) will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man (or woman) stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, (she or) he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
— the powerful and greatly inspiring words of Robert F. Kennedy (with my little insertions in brackets)
Education removes Ignorance
Leads to moderation = reduced hate
Shine a light of understanding
“I believe in the resilience of humanity...and I truly believe in the triumph of the human spirit.”
“Together, one mind, one heart, one life, one small step at a time, let’s plant the seeds, the hope for a better and brighter future.”

"Happiness is a child's smile...but one enhanced way brighter through being reared in a society living in equality, solidarity and harmony."
May we all have the courage to try to guide the next generation into a more peaceful, more understanding world.
