I look forward to connecting more to your work. Your awareness and solution seem eminently sane, and I appreciate you putting it into the world with such a tone of equanimity. So many of us, including myself, are struggling with how to move forward with the healing amid the current onslaught of death and destruction. The ongoing murder of the innocent by the thousands is too much to bear - for anyone with an open heart, for those of us who have dedicated our lives to ending genocide. I grew up in America with many Jewish friends and have struggled to find the right tone to educate some of those stuck in the mainstream Zionist narrative, who to this day cannot see the sick violence inherent in it. I have now spoken more clearly than ever at the cost of lifelong friendships, but now I am finding solidarity with those who ARE aware, including many Jews who know the Occupation must end, must be transformed.
Decolonization around the world is inevitable and necessary for the world to achieve a truly just and lasting peace, and it sounds like your vision points the way forward - and not only for Palestine. For America must find its way also to begin repair for its massive sins/karma. I have been shouting this for many years into a vacuum, and now it is late for the declining empire to rise beyond its vile hypocrisy to its long-repressed aspirations. Yet with Divine help, Miracles are still possible. Thank you for your efforts! - Michael
Thank you for getting in touch with me. I regularly listen to Mahmood whose programmes are very informative and well balanced. Mahmood has my admiration as he is dedicated to the cause of Palestine. I too share in this effort as I have friends both Palestinian Christian and Palestinian Muslims in East Jerusalem and on the West Bank. Since retiring from full time ministry I have become a poet and writer with several books published. Through this medium I am in touch Mosab Abutoha who has recently managed to flee Gaza and is now in Cairo with his family. He is an acclaimed Palelstinian Poet. His latest book is well worth reading.
I am an Anglican Priest and I abhor injustice and violence. My heart is with the Palestinian people. I am in regular contact with my friends there, all of whom are living with the consequences of the occupation and violence. They are without doubt the victims of ethnic cleansing. There are times I feel that I could board a plane and go there just to be with them and to support them. My heart goes out to such noble and resilient people.
Let's keep in touch. I am blessed with having no prejudices whatsoever. I desire and end to this awful conflict, justice and to see the Palestinian people living on what is rightfully their homeland.
With blessings and kind regards to yourself and Mahmood.
