If only the whole world could see this short video...if only everyone would take a few minutes to experience and to absorb the meaning and the compassion and the truth in this piece, in this peaceful piece...if only...

I remember Aseel. I was lucky enough to know and work with him in 1999 at Seeds of Peace.

I do not think he would want hid killers punished. He would want them to be converted away from violence and killing. He would want them to travel the world and speak and share with others about the wrongness of killing and war. He would want them to have a new understanding of life and death - even if the unfortunate tragedy of his murder were the means to that end.

Thank you for the beautiful video, Je

Aseel would want the word "punished" to mean from anger to the light of understanding of friendship.

I consider myself unlucky to have not met him, and to only have read and heard about him, there is nothing better than peace and forgiveness. While i know the path will be long and tortuous i am hoping and praying that this will happen some day.

Aseel's message is both touching and straight to the point. We are all humans despite all the stereotypes. I am sharing this and god bless Aseel;s soul may he rest in heaven. A heaven for all with no race creeds or religions.

May he rest in eternal peace, and those who killed him will be punished sooner or later!
