This has been a very busy weekend with a family wedding. I still have guests, so I will leave you in the very beautiful hands of Miss Israel Adar Gandelsman and Miss Iraq Sarah Idan; and there quest for peace for the people of their lands. These lovely ladies seek only the high aspirations demanded of their hopes and dreams. They may very well be on the verge of uniting the women of Iraq and Israel is a dialogue to end ethnic hate and religious hate. (click here)
It won't be the first time hate was ended by women.
After three of her sister’s children were killed during the violence (click here) between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, Mairead Maguire organized massive demonstrations and other action calling for a nonviolent end to the conflict. Along with Betty Williams, she is the co-founder of Peace People, and together the two women won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976. She has spent her life since then to bearing witness to oppression and standing in solidarity with people living in conflict, including most in Syria....
Peace. Until later...
