Open letter to the Palestinians all over the world.
In memory of the Palestinians, my brothers and sisters in humanity,
who died from Israeli bullets or were buried alive in their destructed
houses, or who perished because the medical help was prevented to arrive
in time.
With love and respect for all the Palestinian who suffer detention and
torture,
with infinite love to all the wonderful and lovely Palestinian children
who died, or were physically hurt or who have become orphans, and whom
I have adopted in my heart, all of them
with anger disgust and curse towards the Israeli leaders, and with shame
for those Israeli who remained silent,
with pride for those Israeli who refused to remain silent or who refuse
to serve in an occupation army
to the Palestinians who have not suffered injuries, to the Palestinian in
the refugee camp, to the Palestinian in their Diaspora who have certainly
been hurt by the killings and destructions inflicted on their people and
their mation.
to all of you I dare sending the following words:
I want you to know that it is a tinme for hope, and not a tinme for despair.
You have to hope not because your cause is just. In this world, it is not
enough for a cause to be just in order to succeed. The white men have
taken away their land from the native Indians, and have almost
exterminbated them. History cannot be turned back and give back the land to
the Indians. Other just causes were lost for good.
You have to hope because in your hope is the true revenge, in your hope lays
the punishment of the Israeli leadership. In your hope lays the salvation
of your spirit and the motivation for acting towards the realisation
of your just aspirations.
You have to hope not because your cause is just, but because there does
exist a way that leads from the situaion today to a truely independant
Palestine having its capital in East Jerusalem.
One way to cope with despair, is to let the anger get out of control. A
better way is to channel the anger into motivation for struggle focussed
on the fulfillment of your just aspirations.
In a next message I will give more details. Just now, it is important
that each of you remain hopeful, to be able to infuse hope in those of
you who suffer most. You are each needed. You are needed as a hopeful
high spirited being, so much superior in values to all those who
persecute you. You might think their day of reckoning will come. This is
so unimportant. What mattesr is that your day of glory will come.
I have no doubt about it, because I see it coming. More later.
Your brother,
Clement Leibovitz
