My name is Yaacoub El-Rabi, from the village of Bidya in the Salfit area. I am the father of nine children: seven daughters and two sons.

In 2018, I lost my beloved wife after she was murdered by a criminal settler. She was killed by a large stone thrown at our car while our daughter Rama, who was only eight and a half at the time, was sitting inside and witnessed the tragedy. My wife was only 45 years old when she was killed. To this day, I cannot come to terms with her loss.

After the incident, Ilana Kaminka, an Israeli peace activist who opposes the occupation, came to visit me with a delegation from the โ€œTag Meirโ€ organization. They shared in my pain and embraced my children warmly as a gesture of solidarity. That visit was the beginning of our acquaintance, and together we planted an olive tree in my garden โ€” a symbol of peace.

On October 7th, Ilanaโ€™s eldest son was killed in the attack. He was only 20 years old. The attack was followed by war. Ilana soon joined PCFF, where we both became members. This time, I was the one who had to comfort her in her unbearable grief.

When I joined the Forum, a few months after my wife was killed, I was deeply moved by its vision: the commitment to end the cycle of violence so that no more families would have to join the circle of bereavement.

At the time, I hoped I would be the last person to join. That no other family would have to endure the pain we experienced. Sadly, that hope was not fulfilled, and since I joined, so many thousands have lost their lives. Yet I still carry the hope that one day, peace will come.

An Israeli conductor performing at last nightโ€™s Proms used the opportunity to condemn the country for the situation in Gaza, and has announced that he will no longer perform in Israel for the foreseeable future, despite continuing to live there.
Ilan Volkov was performing with the Scottish Symphony orchestra last night, and addressed the audience at the Royal Albert Hall after the musicians took their bows.
โ€œIn my heart there is great painโ€, he said, as reported by The Times. โ€œI come from Israel and live there. I love it, itโ€™s my home. But whatโ€™s happening is atrocious and horrific on a scale thatโ€™s unimaginable.

Boys face a barrage of toxic influences. We talk to sixth-formers about the pressures and joys they experience

25/12/2024

Fifteen years ago, I heard Mary Oliver read her poetry at a college convocation. During the Q&A, someone asked, "What is the purpose of beauty?" Her remarkable answer is below...

MOโ€™s words contain a quiet challenge in a world where we wake up every day to news that's far from beautiful and is often plug-ugly, news that may leave us feeling grief, or anger, or fear.

In the face of all that, simple acts of kindness and generosity still have the power to transform livesโ€”acts that say, without words, "Thank you for the gift of beauty that can always be found in nature and human nature."

As Rumi says, โ€œLet the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.โ€

Memo to Self: find something of beauty in the world around you, and find some way to say give thanks with your work and your life.

P.S. My 10 books are at https://tinyurl.com/mt4sbe7t. The woodcut on which I placed MO's words is by MN artist Nick Wroblewski, whose website is http://tinyurl.com/2bg7hha.
