Ok, this is the last stretch of the peace negotiations. I could say a lot about the strategy involved, the potential conflict and so on.
Yet, this is not about strategy. It is about people, and how people feel in a world, where there is so much at stake.
I know how it is to be put down. I have been put down, over and over and over again. By the most cruel of bullies.
So, being at the receiving end of a punch bag game, I know how it feels.
Do you know what I want? I want my soul to be sound, I want my life to be like everybody’s else’s. I want my kids to be able to look at me and be proud for what I do. I know that many people look down at an artist like me. Why do you use so much time on a blog, that has no money to be payed to you. Grow up, cut your hair and get at job like everybody else.
I am not respected very much where I live.
But I believe in what I do makes a difference for people around the world. I believe, that the dignity that I should be able to feel, should be conferred to someone else.
Israel, if you really want to live in peace with the Palestinian Arab, show them that you respect them. That is all they really miss from you.
A simple eye leveled understanding that you are also a human being, and maybe we are not of the same religion, but you have as much value as I have.
I say this, from the bottom of my heart, as the reserve king of the Jews. I respect you.
Let that be the currency you require, and you will be at level with your own wants and secret needs.
This is the message, and thereby let there be peace.
G-d bless the will to make peace with respect, from people to people. G-d bless the people of Israel, and in the same moment the people of Palestine.
