どうにも涙腺が緩んで止まらなくなってしまったので紹介しておきます。

＞MY PARENTS were recently here for a brief visit. When they arrived my father told me about their flight over. They were flying El Al, and as the plane began its descent into Tel Aviv, the pilot got on the PA system that's PA for "Public Announcement," not "Palestinian Authority" and said in English, "Ladies and gentlemen, we will shortly be landing in Tel Aviv. Tomorrow is my 65th birthday, and thus I'll be retiring. This, therefore, is my last flight as an El Al pilot, and I wanted to thank you and wish you the very best."

＞Then, in Hebrew, the same thing, with this addition: "I chose to make this announcement in English first, in a departure from general El Al practice, because I wanted my last words as a pilot to be in Hebrew. Shalom u-le-hitra'ot."




















どうしてだろう。僕は、パレスチナには、もう子供達のこと以外にはどんな心も動かされなくなってしまっている。やはり、以下のような事実を見聞しすぎてしまったからだと思う。何一つ信じられなくさせてきた「闘争」など、一日も早く終わらせて欲しい。日本のメディアやジャーナリストも、本当の「真相」をきちんと伝えて欲しい。

イスラエルに留まり続ける人たちが、すべて生き残れますように。

Jeremiah 31:2
This is what the LORD says: "The people who survive the sword will find favor in the desert; I will come to give rest to Israel."
