Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 This idea has been around for awhile, but it seems its time has come :-) Please send the letter to the list of the Heads of State emails at the bottom of this letter. Letter to Head of State: Campaign For A New Jerusalem Declaration 2001 We the people of the world, representing every nation, every religion, every race and ethnic group, hereby declare the Old City Of Jerusalem as the First International City Of Peace. We declare " null & void " it's violent history of hatred born of it's repeated defeat, destruction, occupation and domination by various countries, cultures and religions. We declare that Jerusalem belongs to all the people of the Earth and is destined to be a model of our highest collective potential for Harmony, for Holiness, for Light and for Love. We declare that the only true temple created by the Divine, and shared by us all, is the human heart. The willingness to sacrifice even one life for buildings of stone, created my men and maintained by violence and fear - in the name of God - is the greatest possible sacrilege and blasphemy. We hereby call upon world governments and all religious and political leaders to work together swiftly for bringing the administration of the Old City Of Jerusalem under the authority, jurisdiction and supervision of the United Nations. We call upon all people everywhere to acknowledge and embrace this divine moment to the end that Jerusalem may fulfill her destiny in becoming a living model of peace, justice and harmony for the whole world.

He then lost the largest estate in Holland thanks to the loss of his father and came here with $10 in his pocket and no English. Is that enough sacrifice? My mother almost died at age 8, carrying messages to her father to bring people through the night. fa, truly we create peace in our environment, in ourselves and I swear to you it helps create world peace. If God wants you to have an opportunity to work on a larger stage, which well God may it will open. Don't rush it, it may happen faster than you like. Be careful what I pray for, I may get it. fa, prayers and much love, this is exceptionally painful for me too, graves, monuments and wails in the night, still don't bring back the dead.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 > > We declare that Jerusalem belongs to all the people of the Earth And are all the people of the world prepared to send husbands, sons, grandsons etc to die for it? Do I claim that Vatican City belongs " spiritually " to me because Jesus was a Jew? Do I claim that Mecca belongs " spiritually " to me because Islam grew out of Judaism? I find this " spiritual Jerusalem " concept almost impossible because I have BEEN there and seen all these crazy fundamentalist Christians (mostly Americans) claiming it for their own - then the minute there is a tiny bit of trouble (one that the average Israeli would take as part of daily life) - they're running, scared stiff, back to Southern Baptist hicksville. You guys want to claim that Jerusalem " belongs " to you " spiritually " - put your ass where your mouth is, fly over there and prepare to die for it. As I should be doing. fa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
