She talks about Palestinian Authority judges colluding with a Muslim “mafia” that steals land from Palestinian Christians. She speaks about the corruption of the Palestinian Authority.
“After learning the amount of money my people have been given, I should be rich,” she says, referring to the aid money given to the Palestinian Authority from donor countries and skimmed off by corrupt Palestinian officials.
She also talks about how women are treated in Palestinian society. “I can tell you so many stories about young women being killed by their own families in honor killings,” she says.
She tells how she was threatened by one of her own family members for publicly speaking in defense of Israel's right to exist. “I have a bullet, I have a gun. […] I put it in your head and end your life. You're playing with a big fire here. You're going to burn your family. First of all you're going to burn yourself and I was sent to stop you,” she relates.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
