From the broken heart of Gaza_Father Musallam's letter Friday, January 2, 2009 Father Musallam is sending out a message From the broken heart of Gaza to a strangely silent world From the valley of tears where Gaza sinks in blood the blood that has strangled the joy from every heart of a million and a half imprisoned people where love itself was captured defenceless in the siege and love has been choked in every throat....

Do you have Garth Hewitt's song called Walk the Talk? 

[adamflude]

Dear Garth - this is VERY moving. I never heard you singing before and this reminds me of Bruce Springsteen! I'm looking forward to hearing you talk in Chichester. I have just placed a big order with Amos Trust for Christmas gifts & cards which I will sell to raise some modest funds for Palestine and her beautiful people.

We are really, now (in desperation), trying to persuade people to Boycott ALL Israeli goods to help end Israeli Apartheid as we were proud to do with South African Apartheid

In 2006, Fr. M Woke me Up to Gaza when he wrote:

"Gaza cannot sleep...the cries of hungry children, the sullen faces of broken men and women who are just sitting in their hungry emptiness with no light, no hope, no love.

"These actions are War Crimes!"

may allah lead musallams way he is acting very fine he should be the pope not this old bastard sitting on that throne and dojug bad things

[eileenfleming]

I read that Fr. M is retiring and i hope/pray all good to him and that one day soon he will see the God of Peace reign in Palestine Gaza over Jew, Christian, Muslim and all others.

I pity the Pope, for JC warned that he "was in prison but you visited me not. What ever you do or do not-you do it or not unto God."

November 2006!

Father Manuel wrote:

"Gaza cannot sleep...the cries of hungry children, the sullen faces of broken men and women who are just sitting in their hungry emptiness with no light, no hope, no love...Children and babies are hungry...people have no money to buy food.

"These actions are War Crimes!"

Look at the American History how the African Americans rose up wanting their freedom now its time to do the same for the Palestinians. Another song I recall is "We shall overcome".

"The media should be a sanctuary of dissent. We must go where the silence is."-Amy Goodman

Israel cannot censor the TRUTH

The darkness will never put out THE LIGHT

The Prince of Peace is pregnant with it and her midwives are our poets, musicians, dissidents, radicals and revolutionaries called to the highest purpose:

JUSTICE: EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS for ALL!

In His Service,

God bless you, Garth!
