Stöd Tikkun och rabbi Michael Lerner och sr Joan Chittester mfl
i deras upprop i massmedia i USA för Eld Upphör i Gaza och för en Global Marshall plan
”The self-described “realistic” version of global politics asserts that we live in a world in which our
safety can only be achieved through domination, or others will seek to dominate us first. Of course,
when we act on this assumption, it becomes self-fulfilling.
We propose, instead, a strategy of generosity—to act on the assumption that people have an enormous
capacity for goodness and generosity (without negating the truth that certain conditions promote
fear, anger and hatred which sometimes are expressed in horribly destructive ways).”
”The only protection that we in the advanced industrial countries of the world can ever really have for
our lives is to spread a spirit of love so powerful and genuine that it becomes capable of reducing the
anger that has understandably developed against the powerful and the wealthy of the world. Similarly,
Israel’s security would be greatly enhanced if the money spent on enforcing an occupation and protecting
West Bank settlements went instead to build a prosperous Palestinian economy. ”
