Today I remember Juliano Mer Khamis whose mother was Jewish and his father was Arab. He always described himself as 100% Jewish and 100% Arab. His mother founded Freedom Theatre for Palestinian children in Jenin. When she died Juliano gave up his career as an actor and took over the theatre. He ultimately became a martyr for the cause. JMK RIP.
Thank you for sharing the existence of this wondrous human. His characterization of himself as being 100% Jewish and 100% Arab is memorable! Glad to know of the work he shared with his amazing mother 🕊️🕌✡️🪷🌻

You always move me with your words and thoughts and prayers. Thank you for reminding us what justice means and how we need to treat all.
Thank you, Cameron for this beautiful prayer for peace. Shalom. Joseph
Thank you for this reflection. I can see the keys on my computer for the years in my eyes and the ach in my heart....we are all human and divine.
'This is not justice' - never has been, alas.
Said some Israelis:
We were pulled out from our homes.
And now we’re captive.
...
Said Palestinians:
We were pushed out from our homes.
And now we’re dying.
…
Said Humanity:
We were lured to shut our hearts.
And now we’re crying.
…
Said some wise sages:
We can heal, it’s not too late.
Need to keep trying.
For some reason I could not finish my thoughts:
January 7, 2025 - Eaton fire in CA
October 7, 2023 (?) - Israel government attacked Gaza/Hamas
December 7, 1941 - Japan attacked US, WWll, here we come!
