Heartbreaking, powerful words via Sue Beardon from #Israel. "Last night I shared a moment with an Israeli that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I stayed in an Airbnb in Haifa, Israel with a Zen Buddhist couple. I sat with one of the hosts on arrival and we chatted for a while. Usually I am cautious about sharing what I'm doing here when I meet Israelis, but we had made a connection so I found myself being open with him. We began to discuss his mandatory military service, which he had served some years before. He told me how the army tried to disrupt the lives of #Palestinians everyday, and how he used to receive calls from the General instructing him to block certain roads at random times to delay or stop Palestinians going about their day. There was no logic to this he pondered, "the General wasn't even in the area. He had no idea about the reality on the ground." He went on to recall a time when he was sent to a #Palestinian village, where the

Israeli   police in combat gear storm a Chassidic synagogue in Jerusalem, swinging truncheons. In the end, they broke the leg of a 9 year old boy. They later denied entering the synagogue, but a boy took this video from the ezras nashim (balcony). This is the real Israel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yezdGcymABM

“The soldiers entered the family’s house and tried to rape Aziza Sharaida in front of her husband and children. She resisted. The soldiers threatened to kill her 17-year-old, firstborn son if she went on resisting. She resisted with force and they shot her son. The soldiers threatened to shoot her husband, too, but she refused to give in, and they shot and killed him. The two younger sons, who witnessed the atrocity, went into exile in Lebanon."
