"In the Palestinian villages near the internationally recognized border between Israel and Palestine, Israel is building a system of electrical fences, trenches, patrol roads, razor wire pyramids, and in many places a 25-foot high steel reinforced cement wall to prevent suicide bombings. In reality, this wall is not for security- it is a land grab and it seals the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and people. In protest of the destruction and confiscation of their land that will be isolated on the other side of the wall, the Palestinian farmers in these villages held noon prayer on fridays in the land that the Israeli military and its 45 privately contracted companies were going to destroy." - jayyous, palestine

"Mere praise of peace is easy but ineffective. What is needed is active participation in the fight against war and everything that leads to it."
