Simply reflecting

As we entered 2020 the general political scene looked very grim  in all our region: Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Libya,  and Palestine, especially after the announcement of the details of the “Deal of the Century.”   For us Palestinians, both the president of the USA, Donald Trump, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu who are  running the show that continues to deprive us of our rights,  are the calamities of the new year.  But then out of  the blue China “blessed” us and many parts of the world with the Corona virus 

Ironic indeed when you think you are in control and can do anything you please a tiny virus topples your life upside down.  Meetings, prayers, concerts, conferences and so many activities on the occasion of Women’s day have all been cancelled.  However, the elections in Israel took place before the panic started and the restrictions imposed on many areas and schools.  How a candidate indicted for corruption is allowed to even run for elections and get so many votes is beyond me. 

When will all those powers stop for a moment and think of what they are doing to the soul of the human being who has become  a victim and vulnerable to so many injustices imposed by big powers.  We are confident that those powers will not have the final word   and that forces of good and forces beyond them will prevail in the end.
