OSAMA AND THE ATTACKS 1.4.2022

The last two weeks have been really bad. The hate that has been generated by the attacks is hard to take. The fear of the Israelis and the fear of the Palestinian in the streets of Jerusalem are two different fears. I sat and watched the funerals and cried with the families. I watched the reaction in Bnei Brak and heard the shouts of “kill the Arabs” and I was furious. I do not say this of all but this is a very religious city and a large portion of the people who live there do very little for the state of Israel. They do not work…their wives do to support their Torah studies…..but I have no respect for them. But they are very vociferous when such attacks take place. And during this whole period when the media, both newspapers and tv are only reporting these attacks and the reactions of all the politicians around them and one hears hardly any other news, I think of all the attacks by the settlers in the occupied areas daily which are not dealt with at all and where the Palestinians are exposed to such attacks with no protection and, in fact, with the soldiers not only protecting that settlers but actively helping them.

Instead of trying to calm things down they let a fascist like Ben Gvir go up to El Aksa just at the start of Ramadan. And the media gives him their full attention.

At the bottom you will see a list of attacks on Palestinians all of which have taken place in one day. A young man and an older man landing up in hospital. But were it not for facebook and the sites on WhatsApp you would not know anything of this and most of the Israeli public don’t.

And then I read this post by Osama who lives in Jericho and is a member of Combatants for Peace, composed of Jews and Arabs. A group of children were on a hike in the desert. They went into one of the more dangerous wadis at 4.30 in the afternoon. Only a madman or a person who is completely ignorant of the desert would do such a think especially as the darkness comes early and quickly. This is what he wrote:

In the middle of nowhere

While meditating in the desert in a remote and dangerous area, where there are a lot of dangerous heights, cliffs, sudden drops, sharp rocks and landslides,,,

I heard a voice of children coming from afar, first I thought that I was just imagining but then I realized that there were really children somewhere out there in the dark.

I decided to walk in the dark wadi to make sure of what I was hearing. I couldn’t see anything until I found myself confronted by a group of very young Jewish children who had lost their way in the pitch darkness, thirsty, exhausted and afraid.

At first glance the children were terrified because they saw that I was an Arab, but I was able to calm them and make them feel safe. I walked with them to a safe place, then I went back to make sure no one else had been left behind.I found two other children, one of them was injured and could not walk easily but I managed to bring them to a safe place!!!

My question

who is responsible?

How to leave these children in this dangerous area without escorts?

I wrote to ask him but so far have not had a reply as to how he contacted the organizers and what thanks he got.

How if they had had to spent the night in this place in the freezing cold

But I also ask why in days of such hatred has the media not published this story
