Well said Maryanne... I am volunteering as a mentor for Jewish Voices for Peace who set up 'We Are Not Numbers', a website with a mentoring programme that encocurages young Palestinians to write abut their expereinces... and can you beleive, Jewish Voices for Peace is labeled, 'self-hating Jews'. I think all the religious fundamentalism are forms of fascism while the mystical strand seeks the commonality of Life in all Humanity...

Do add your voice and write I'd love to hear why you liked so much, the poem you left such a sweet comment for,.... I think very very tired adn my word order is going kaput !

In solidarity with goodness, wherever it may appear, let's take positive actions to reduce the negativity all around.
