the spectacleSusan Ville on the spectacleI was an active first responder myself, I am a journalist, have been working in the field of civil defence and research for many years. My first assignment was in 1990 during Gulf war in Syria, back then, I was in my twenties and didn't understand why the Jewish elder lady next to me said "I hate them" as we both stood at the border fence observing ISR tanks moving around. I am German, educated to be tolerant and guilty. For more than three decades I've been trying my best to explain ordinary people that political speeches have nothing to do with the reality on the ground. They read my articles, but didn't believe. After reading this morning the report of my colleague about the attack on the media tent in Gaza, I had to have a break. I lost friends and colleagues in Iraq, Syria, in the Kosovo, in Lebanon. Every media worker from Palestine I know, and who lives in the diaspora, lost a family member, or two, or more. I witnessed the suffering of the civilian population in Syria, amputated children, victims of mines and left ordnance, everywhere in the streets. I really thought, I can handle Gaza. But today I just felt sick, angry and lost. I swear to the Almighty, there will be justice for the victims. That is my only goal now. I would rather die than allowing them to get away with a genocide, another genocide committed by German helpers. No, they can't and won't destroy the foundation of civilization, basic human rights and ethical norms, it won't happen. I'm prepared for a long lasting struggle, a battle, a war, yes, but we will succeed. Thank you, Deaglan - our solid rock to cling tight on to (hope) in this ocean of darkness, waiting for the life-saving rescue ship. -- Susan P.S. I share your postings on mastodon, because I left all US social surveillance platforms ten years ago.

The reconciliation workshop concluded with the signing of a community peace agreement and the establishment of market peace committees, tasked with promoting accountability and preventing future conflicts.

More community dialogues are likely to be organized.
