    “An Experience”

    Western (Wailing) Wall

    When I was arranging our trip to Israel, I noticed there was only one review of the wailing wall. I thought since we came back, it would be good to add another.

    We entered in through the Old Gate and made our way through the winding walkways. When we were there (approx 9pm) there were so many tour groups that we thought that there must be some sort of huge event going on. Apparently that isn't the case. So don't be overwhelmed with the insane amount of people walking through the pathways.


    When we arrived at the wall, I have to say I was taken aback. I am not a religous person at all. I never have been. But to be there in such a revered place was a phenominal feeling. The men and women must seperate in order to go to the wall. If you are a male you must put the little beenie hat on (they provide cardboard ones).

    Observing the womens side vs the mens was odd to me as well. The men were joyous and dancing and hollering and having a great time. The womens side was very subdued.

    The one part that I wasn't expecting was the Mosque on the other side of the wall. When we were leaving, you could hear a mix of the Jewish people singing and the speaker from the mosque on a speaker for all to here. It kind of sounded eerie. I don't know how else to say that.

    I would highly recommend going through to the Wailing Wall even if you are not religous. It is an experience that I certainly will never forget.

    Can Peres be a mind on Israel..?

    A private letter to Mr. Peres, to all Israeli Solders and to the Israeli Elite’s.

    Until now, since it was established Israel, it has to and continued to show it is a state with no nation, no mind, for more than 50 years now..! It did not show any intention that it is willing to live and continue in the Middle East, or even if it could be peace living with the Palestinians, with the Area, and it nver still stop practicing the non-sense.

    As a Palestinian, I get happy when the Israeli Army Kills a Palestinian, don't go to shy.., I believe each Palestinian Killed, each Palestinian tree destroyed will accelerate the demolishing of Israel, Palestinians are the inhabitants of the Area, imagine a thief who come to live near your hard gained house, (not the stolen house from the Palestinians), then next day, he asked you for water, you gave him, then he gets into your house, and start to share your dwelling, the next day, he will get into your bed room, the next second day he will prevent you from going out from your home, making himself a jailer for the Palestinians, the landlords, what a silly practice and what a silly Zionist methodology..? this used to be in the Iron ages!

    Israel Government, and people until now, can't practice more that thief actions and policy, which will entails at the end of whatsoever time it comes in demolishing the state of Israel.

    I guess Mr. Peres is of good experiences, and if he could forget his Zionism for some time and think about his people, (if we accept them as people, who up to the present moment practice the theft business, gangs and mafias business), to extend his vision to the near future, where the two people are living together in one state or even two states...?

    This area, is a holy land, and blessed by all religions, and what is practiced by Israeli states and Army up to the present moment is none accepted by any religion, nor accepted by any common sense, ethics or morals...? Thus it will not continue forever.

    As a Palestinian, I am sure (as the case of each Palestinian), that the madness of Israeli policy makers destroying not the future of the Palestinians, but also it is greater affect the future of the Israeli generations, morals, ethics, religion and even their state existence.
    If the Israeli policy makers gave themselves the validity to kill any Palestinians, they doubt in his
    behavior, okay that is fine, same right will be given to the Palestinians who have lost their Homes, Land and Trees, who became hopeless, that means all Palestinians have the right to Kill any and all Israeli's living in Palestine, though we will continue to swim in a river of hot Blood.

    One of the Israeli madness, is that they want to stop the Palestinians rockets and attacks..? Before going to peace negotiations, What madness is that, how an owner stop fighting a thief who took all his belongings.. It is really a mad policy, and mad thinking, and causes no more than neglect?

    As Mr. Peres might be considered a wise Israeli, he could remember the Jewish suffering in Europe, and must remember not to cause the same sufferings to the Palestinians, other wise, he lives through and still remember very well what the Zionists have done to German leaders who has been kidnapped form South America and brought to prosecute in State of Israel, Also Palestinian Arab are entitled and will be able to make the same trials suites for those Zionist's leaders. I am sure; the Palestinians will do nothing less than that.

    Accordingly, I hope that the Israeli’s could find some wise men and Peres might be one of the leaders who will settle the matter of the Arabian Israeli conflict, but do Peres have the courage or the authority, I wish my hopes are getting maintained.

    Although I know that one of the peace hindrances in Israeli thinking is that the great and big price of peace, which the Israelis and the Zionists have to pay, the legal and valid Palestinians rights, which entails to the rights of the refugees to return to their homes, the civil rights of the Arab-Israeli’s, releasing all the Palestinian's seized and stolen lands including Jerusalem and the responsibility for the Palestinians sufferings during the years of the conflict, all these causes the Israelis thieves to madness, making them to gamble with their existence, which shows that they are not willing to live in the area.

    But how come.. Depending on their excessive power, they are impossible to continue exist in the Middle East, their experience in the last war with Lebanon, might be an indication that their power is nothing vis-à-vis the rights, logic and ethics and morals.
    American war in Afghanistan and Iraq might be another indicator for an Israeli wise mind, if they want and need to use the mind, until now they are not showing that, all the weapons of the world, doing nothing because it is used in non valid aims.
