You are welcome to join us for t...Dear Friends, <br /> <br />You are welcome to join us for the November Interfaith Freedom Marches:<br /><br />Jenin,West Bank, Wed., Nov. 21, 2012, 2:30 pm, Main Square, Abu Baker Street<br />Ramallah, West Bank, Friday, Nov. 23, 2012, 12:30 pm, Manara Square<br />Jerusalem, Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012, 2:30 pm, Damascus Gate, Old City<br /><br />My friends, it’s no longer possible to say, “Ah, that’s the other side of the World, what does this place have to do with me, my family, my world….”<br /><br />The people in the Holy Land, Muslims, Jews and Christians alike, are enshrouded by deep suffering, terrible restrictions on freedoms, limitation of circulation, restricted access, unfair confiscation of land, etc. Whenever that happens in the World, we all suffer because I truly believe, my friends, we are all connected. <br /><br />When they are free (of suffering, etc.), only then can we be free!<br /><br />As such, the occupation of the West Bank must end as a precursor to peaceful coexistence.<br /><br />It’s time we all do something about it, in an effective, non-violent way.<br /><br />Let this march be a precursor to freedom through love and understanding by bringing all people together in the cosmic light, as brothers and sisters and as children of the creator, showing the world that all people want peace in Israel and Palestine.<br /><br /><br />Dr. Frank Romano <br />A Land Day Organizer: March 30, 2012, Qalandia Checkpoint<br />Professor: University of Paris<br />Member of the California and French Bars<br />Author: Love and Terror in the Middle East<br /><br />Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553264183030960311noreply@blogger.com
