Happy new year. This will give you a little hope or happiness. Roger Waters (who is possessed by the insane belief that Palestinian freedom is more important than his own music career) has put up a video of the Pink Floyd song “Hey You” as a soundtrack to a video of two Palestinian children who dream of actually seeing the sea, and then take measure to do so. The lovely video was apparently made by the people of Bil’in. The video documents the village’s demonstrations against the separation wall that steals much of their land.
The first image is of the children unwrapping a birthday present of a photograph of the Mediterranean, which is about twenty miles from their village. Notice too that the video valorizes the stone throwers’ resistance to an oppressive occupation.
Hey you! don’t help them to bury the light
Don’t give in without a fight.
Waters’s New Year’s Day message. “Together we stand. Peace and Love in 2016”
Peace and Love.
But recall that Jesus, generally a loving man, said, “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Jesus meant that to decide to become a follower of his message (which I, not a Christian, take to mean becoming a loving person) is to take up a sword against those who will not do so.
And in that sense are we not calling on Israelis to take up this sort of sword against Zionism? “Don’t give in without a fight.”

So, there! ! !
Palestinian children in Gaza can visit the sea. Best not to picnic or play football on the beach, though.

Bil’in is really one of the great stories of this young century. And yes, to work for peace is not to be passive. If we give in, the thugs win.
