It was late of reductions. The cold and the rain had allowed a truce and even the moon appeared with all your brilliancy. Many fans of the leisure and the purchases in this zone of the ancient neighborhood of the city were surprised at the gabble and accumulation of peoples who were exhibiting placards that did not have anything to see either with the consumption or with the crisis.
Because approximately 50.000 persons they centered yesterday to claim a ceasefire in a geographical zone punished for weeks in Middle East. Summoned from five o'clock in the afternoon they realized the tour that already is traditional in this urban sector.
The invasion in the territory of Gaza on the part of the Israeli army has created the whole current of world solidarity after fifteen days of war, 829 dead men and 3.360 injured men.
Many people wonder if it is just and they all wish a cessation in the hostilitys that there allows a longed peace and the non-continuity of the massacre.
Sad situation when scanty weeks ago was visiting Berlin... I ask myself where God is at this moment and whom it has left...

Thanks for the update on the recent demonstrations in Barcelona in support of the Palestinian. I am just deeply concerned that Jewish businesses where attacked. Israel is not helping the Jews around the world with its recent actions. It has to be made clear that Judaism does not equal Israel and that Israel is not Judaism. Leaders around the World have to make public distinction of the two and the the Jewish communities around the World may have to distant them self openly from Israel. It is very worrying that Jewish businesses and Cemeteries have been attacked. One injustice can not be fixed by causing another injustice.

You are correct Paschen. Moderates amongst all peoples ought to unite their voices against oppression. In this case it would certainly assist the cause of peace if moderates, both muslims and jews, voiced their opposition to a war which is killing humdreds of innocent people. Actions against peaceful business owners only adds to the escalation of an already terrible situation.
