Checkpoint della ‘prigione’ di Betlemme, città della pace.  Centinaia di persone stanno in fila, obbligate a vegliare, dentro ad una gabbia fatta di sbarre e lamiere, in un'alba livida di un giorno qualsiasi. Mohammed anche oggi si è alzato alle tre per provare a passare questo muro ed andare a lavorare a Gerusalemme, come tutti i suoi compagni di fila.  Come fa a resistere con questa dignità, con questa compostezza nel volto, a non provare rabbia, sapendo che fa la fila per passare dalla Palestina alla Palestina, da casa sua a casa sua, in assoluto arbitrio delle decisioni delle soldatesse di turno? In fila con i torchiati di...

  Every day, in meeting others we set our gaze on their face. If we do not place our gaze on their face, it means that we want not to see them, not to recognize them; we reduce them to being shadows, silhouettes, beside which we pass in order to go beyond... Emmanuel Lévinas Every year the John Paul II Foundation organizes a space for reflection dedicated to discussion on various issues, involving collaborators, donors, employees and the whole community. This year the day will take place in Arezzo and will be entitled "Project Man," a reflection on the faces of humanity, the use of language and our interpretation of the other. For the first time, it will be possible to follow the day in its entirety through live streaming from the Foundation's Facebook page. The main purpose of the days is to involve young people and make them protagonists of the discussion, in fact, on November 29, they will have the opportunity to converse with Marco Bentivogli, a trade unionist, to talk about the challenges of the open society. The next day, 30.

In queste nuove terre i beduini Jahalin si sono adattati conservando però il loro tradizionale stile di vita mediante il pascolo del bestiame tra Ramallah e Gerusalemme.Dopo l’occupazione della Cisgiordania da parte di Israele nel 1967, ecco che i beduini Jahalin si sono visti cacciare per la seconda volta. Israele dichiarò gran parte delle loro terre “zona militare” e molte ne confiscò adducendo “motivi di sicurezza”. Altre aree abitate dagli Jahalin furono dichiarate “riserva naturale” e vennero quindi...

A un certo punto cinque coloni israeliani, alcuni con tubi di metallo in mano e altri armati di pistole e di un fucile M16, hanno attaccato l’uomo e suo figlio, arrivando a rompere entrambe le braccia di Hafez. Nel frattempo altri abitanti del villaggio hanno chiamato i soccorsi e la polizia. Mentre dei soldati israeliani arrestavano Hafez, che aveva cercato di difendersi dall’attacco con la pala con cui stava lavorando...

Dopo la chiusura di “Al Shuhada Street”, ora chiamata “Apartheid Street” dai palestinesi, il Suq della città vecchia è diventato la principale via commerciale della città. Tuttavia, nei piani superiori degli edifici si sono stabiliti insediamenti ebraici di coloni che gettano rifiuti e feci sulla strada sottostante frequentata dai palestinesi, rendendo necessaria l’installazione di reti di protezione per evitare contaminazioni. Nessuna rete può tuttavia trattenere il nauseante odore dei rifiuti, così come il palpabile odio di chi getta rifiuti sulla testa dei passanti.

Gerusalemme è considerata una città santa nell'Ebraismo, nel Cristianesimo e nell'Islam, dove fino a poco fa le tre religioni condividevano il territorio con una certa armonia.Nel quartiere di Sheikh Jarrah vivono almeno 70 famiglie palestinesi minacciate di sfratto. Per Israele quelle terre sono di proprietà di famiglie ebree, residenti a Gerusalemme est prima del ‘48. I palestinesi rifugiati per legge non hanno alcun diritto di rivendicare proprietà dentro Israele, gli ebrei sì.Il contenzioso immobiliare è un imbroglio giuridico e politico...

The difficult and complicated times we are experiencing in these weeks after the inhumane attack carried out by Hamas toward Israeli civilians and the Israeli army's disproportionate and unjustifiable response toward the people of Gaza will certainly not be resolved by siding with the Israeli people or the Palestinian people. Yet all those who care about the future and the coexistence of peoples are aware that without paving the way toward the construction of two states, that small territory in our world will become the place of greatest destabilization and a human powder keg capable of breaking the already unstable balance in the Middle East, the antechamber to a war of incalculable proportions and consequences for the entire planet. The history that has passed through a land so cherished and loved by Christians, Jews and Muslims over the past 70 years is, in each of its events and occurrences, the true witness to the inability so far...

My name is Christine, I am Palestinian, born and raised in Bethlehem. A few years ago I came to Italy to continue my studies and participate in a project related to conflict management and peace building. I participated in this project because I believed and still believe that peace can be built in Palestine, but to make peace first justice must be done. I have experienced wars since I was a child, I have seen the suffering, sadness, anger, resistance and strength of my people. I vividly remember the second intifada and the beginning of the construction of the apartheid wall. I lived through the Israeli occupation and the absence of freedom it caused. In Palestine to say there is no freedom is not rhetoric, it is reality. We cannot move independently from one city to another without Israel's permission. We cannot travel all the roads because some are reserved for Israelis and...
