Hello my dears,
I wanted to check in with you all, and send you my love. Wherever you are, if you are suffering, in pain, feeling trauma, or feeling sad that others are going through pain - you are not alone, and this suffering does not define you.
As you can imagine this has been a very challenging time for me. To hear that antisemitism is on the rise, that Israel is at war, that thousands of innocent people are dying in Palestine, that many innocent people around the world are suffering or losing their lives because of a deep seated hatred for Jews… it brings up a lot for me.
All I can tell you is that in my experience, hate does not create love. It will not bring about peace. I can tell you that in my life, it was a commitment to stop hatred and violence that saved my life. The GIs who rescued me from the N***s who were bent on killing us all showed such kindness and compassion, pulling me from the pile of corpses I was surely going to join if not for their kindness. They too had felt the pain of war and violence, but did so to ultimately create peace. And so I share with you that from my experience, we are better off when those who sow hate are not in power. And only when those who sow love and tolerance guide us - only then can we expect to see harmony in this world.
I support you Israel to have a country where your people can be free from terror. I support you, the peaceful Palestinians in your struggle to live with dignity and freedom so that you can become the best version of yourselves.
When I hear about today, children being taught to hate it reminds me immediately of the German children spitting at me. Indeed until we teach tolerance TO everyone FOR everyone - there will never be peace in this planet. May it begin today - in you.
As you may have heard me say, You can be you and I can be I, but together we will be more powerful than you alone or me alone.“
These are my words. I stand behind them. You are free to your words and your opinions. I ask you not to bring anger or hatred here to this page.
All my love,
Edie
