On behalf of my client, Gush Shalom, I would like to state:

It is time to see the writing on the wall - letter, sent to Shraga Brosh, the Chairperson of the Israeli Industrialists' Association and to Danny Katrivas, Head of that association's Foreigh Trade Section

“Thou Shalt Not Steal! Thou Shalt not Kill! Get Out Of Sheikh Jarrah!”

This slogan coined by former Knesset Chairman Abraham Burg, a man with deep religious roots, well expresses the spirit of the demonstration that took place Saturday night (March 6) in East Jerusalem.

SANITY

March 5, 2010 - 04:37
Nobody would think about
Destroying dozens of
Jewish homes
Because King David
Had a garden there
3000 years ago.

In Israel 2010,
Such an evil plan
Against Arabs
Was seriously considered
And came close
To being carried out.

Only at the last moment
It was postponed
By Binyamin Netanyahu
In a rare act of sanity.

“HERITAGE”

February 26, 2010 - 07:40
The modest “Rachel’s Tomb”
In the heart of Bethlehem,
Sacred to the three faiths,
Has been turned
Into a fortified position
Forbidden to Muslims.

The “Cave of Machpelah”
Which is also “Ibrahim’s Mosque”
Has become the nest of
Baruch Goldstein and his admirers.

Instead of serving as a
Model of inter-religious tolerance,
Both symbolize now the “heritage”
Of hatred and death.

FROM TIME to time I ask myself: what would happen if the world’s governments decided to abolish all their spy agencies simultaneously?

PREVENT!

February 19, 2010 - 05:29
The War can be prevented -
In spite of the threats!

The readiness to make peace
And to leave
The occupied territories
Will make it possible
To reach agreement
With the Syrians
And the Palestinians,
Thus depriving the Iranians
Of any pretext for an attack.

If war breaks out –
It will be again
For territories and settlements.

A Stink Bomb

VOTERS ABROAD

February 12, 2010 - 08:27
In the Biberman state,
Voters abroad
Who will not spill
Their own blood
Nor sacrifice
Their own sons
Will vote on war.

In the Biberman state,
Voters abroad
Who do not pay
Taxes in Israel
Will vote on occupation
And settlements.
