"You deserve democracy and the rule of law. You deserve an open society and a thriving economy. You deserve a life of hope for your children."
I thought these words were very powerful and courageous...and showed true leadership.
It is a madness they have had poured into their brains - day after day.
One speech won't change the brainwashing - but it is a start. And it is clear. So clear.
It's almost like there is this sound and fury of a terrible storm - and there in the middle of it - you hear a quiet but strong voice of calm and sanity.
Everything stops.
The people who have been whipped by the storm winds stop and look up and if they are listening - hear words of hope. But the storm of the brainwashers will likely commence again.....bringing the storm back down upon them.
I hope somehow our people and the Israeli government will find a way to get this speech into the hands of the Palistinian people and then let it go from there.
Surely - the "Arab street" has heard the words in the midst of the storm. Will they stop and move towards peace or not?
"This moment is both an opportunity and a test for all parties in the Middle East: an opportunity to lay the foundations for future peace; a test to show who is serious about peace and who is not. The choice here is stark and simple. The Bible says, "I have set before you life and death; therefore, choose life." The time has arrived for everyone in this conflict to choose peace, and hope, and life. "
What calm words. The truth, as quietly and calmly as it can be said. They can choose peace and life or they can choose war and death. Every peace-loving person in this world should be in prayer that they choose peace and life.
They do have a life of hope for their children. This is it:
