מאמר באתר על הצפון

פתאום התעוררנו למציאות אחרת. מציאות בה תנועת מרצ כבר אינה קיימת. המפלגה שייצגה במשך שנים את המאבק לשלום, למען זכויות הנשים, ההומוסקסואלים והשכבות החברתיות החלשות ביותר, נעלמה ואיננה עוד. מרצ הינה המפלגה של השומר הצעיר, תנועת הנוער בה גדלתי, ושעיצבה את עתידי כציונית, כחברה פעילה בקיבוץ על הגבול. היא הייתה חלק מרקמת יהדותי ומאהבת הארץ שהפיחו בי אבי ואמי עוד באיטליה, יחד עם ערכים כיושר, סולידריות וטוהר המחשבה, שדרבנו אותי להקדיש משאבים נפשיים ואנרגיה אינסופית לחינוך וליצירה, ונתנו לי את הכוח לא להתפרק כשארבעת בניי התגייסו בזה אחר זה לצה”ל כלוחמים מגיני הארץ הזאת.

A Flower in the Desert

Despite what is said, positive news from Israel/Palestine is like a ray of light breaking through the darkness. By Andrea Gagliarducci A small flower can spring up even in the desert, and one has definitely sprung up in hills of the Northern Galilee. This is the so-called “middle ground,” an area emcompassing Israel, Lebanon and Syria where, in the space of a few kilometres there are kibbutzim, moshavim, Arab Christian villages, Muslims, Circassians and Druse. And it is here that […]

The outbreak of the second Intifada in 2000 had a profound effect on Dr. Edna Calo Livne from Kibbutz Sasa in northern Israel.

She teaches peace to mortal enemies

In war-weary Israel, a teacher is helping Jewish, Christian and Muslim teens become emissaries of hope—and rekindling Mariane Pearl’s optimism about the Middle East. One-woman catalyst for peace: Angelica Edna Calo Livne While researching this column for Glamour, I read these words penned by a woman in northern Israel. “What if there were more than one truth?” she wrote in her book, A Yes, a Beginning, a Hope. “What if we embraced our many truths and found our common ground?” […]

“The Theater of Miracles”

BETHANY (West Bank) – The little kibbutz theater and the hospice in Bethany are separated by many miles of highway, by Lake Tiberiade and the Jordan Valley. And by snipers, and Sharon’s wall, and Arafat’s duplicity. And by the checkpoints clogging the West Bank. And by the hate of the second Intifada. And in the end, by History with a capital “H”. Angelica and Samar have spanned it all in an embrace that began two years ago and has yet […]
