Non-Governmental Organization working for a lasting Cease Fire and Peace Process in the Middle East through the Non-Violent Approach
We have reopened our X account @peacelines.
Here is the site of Peace Lines, the home base. It contains updated info from around 20 media sources in the Media section.
You need background in time to form your perception, from a number of angles.
We also keep chronicles that testify about people’s lives, on the ground, from Gaza, Nir Oz, past and present. We strive for a non-partisan, non-biased view of situations. Caring for people, for human beings, not for ideologies and stereotypes.
This is what we are striving to create here.
The gate openers we have chosen belong to three different visions of spirituality : Martin Luther King, Ibn Arabi, and Spinoza. The three men underneath are : Dominique Bernard, Samuel Paty, and Jacques Hamel. You will find their stories through Wikipedia, no doubt.
In Martin Luther King’s words : “I’ve decided that I’m going to do the battle for my philosophy. You ought to believe something in life, believe that thing so fervently that you will stand up with it till the end of your days. I can’t make myself believe that God wants me to hate. I’m tired of violence. And I’m not going to let my oppressor dictate to me what method I must use.”
In Ibn Arabi’s words : “We will not let persecution turn us into persecutors” “Pens can solve what weapons cannot”
In Spinoza’s words : “Peace is not an absence of war. It is a virtue, state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.”
