Salam
I have recently finished a 40-day fast and prayer for the children of
Gaza and
Other parts of the world where children
Are being massacred by gov polices of cruelty militarism and war.
The Israeli gov and its criminal Israeli
Defence force carry out genocidal mass
Murder of Palestinian unarmed civilians
In their Zionist policies of ethnic
Cleansing of Palestinian land. This
Is aided by their friends in USA uk and
Europe with money arms weapons and
Political support. Starvation of little
Children and denying them water food
Medical care and their very lives is evil and war crimes and against international laws.
It was in deep sorrow for the suffering of
People of Palestine that I undertook this fast.
How can war crimes be documented, stopped, punished and prevented?
How can a culture of peace be established in the Middle East?
I also prayed that I would not allow
Seeing such Israeli cruelty ’harden my
Heart’ and I would not be bitter against
The perpetrators of such violence but
Would deepen my love for all and
Increase my acts of forgiveness nonviolent resistance and justice and peace.
I took liquids, no solids for 40 days.
I was tired and thought of Palestinians
In Gaza trying to protect their children
From bombs and famine.
To the people of Gaza and occupied West Bank I am very sorry for this
Death and destruction perpetrated on
Your people.
thank you for your example of Sahmoud.
Thank you for your resilience against
Evil and your courage in proclaiming
Human dignity and decency for
Palestinians and the human family.
Salam aleikum.
