...I asked: “Have you seen a beautiful Jew lately?” I then asserted
that “They are everywhere; and they are just as beautiful as Christians
and Muslims.” What I did not mention was the fact that sometimes, they
are more beautiful.
Here is one: Nurit Peled-Elhanan, a Jewish Israeli, an education
professor at Tel Aviv University, a wonderful human being, and a mother
who lost her daughter in a horrible carnage caused by a suicide bomber.
In her unimaginable grief, Nurit searched for the root cause of her
tragedy and found it in the dispossession, oppression, and injustice
imposed by the state of Israel on the Palestinian people. Here is this
superb human being talking about the reality of the state of Israel and
its so-called “Jewish Democracy”:
Watch this wonderful Jewish mother, and listen carefully to her words
through which she uncovers the truth that led to the greatest loss of
her life; the death of her daughter. As activists for justice and peace
for all, we believe we have courage; but when we witness such
greatness, we are humbled.
