Bless the Israelis and Palestinians
This is a short video with real pictures and real voices in both Hebrew and Arabic. Very powerful.

Comment by Stephanie Lorenz on February 25, 2009 at 12:47pm - I appreciated this video, because it showed hurting and painful images from both Palestinians and Israelis. The situation is sad. Where do you see God in this video? What biblical images or stories come to mind? Definitely questions to ponder. Thank you for posting this, Bobbie.

Comment by Sara Bryan on February 23, 2009 at 6:18pm - Thank you for posting this, Bobbie. Seeing the images helps make it more real, less abstract... I am lacking personal contact with Palestinians, Israelis, in my own life... the more we can put real lives and faces into the big world story, the more we feel connected to it. God, have mercy on us all and continue to strengthen and guide all those who are working toward healing and understanding.
