I think you will all enjoy this short film by Basil Khalil. The video is a comedy summarizing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that was filmed for less than $20.
If you enjoyed West Bank Story (if you haven’t seen it be sure to click here to see the first four minutes because it’s quite funny) then you’ll definitely enjoy Ping Pong Revenge.
Both films may have a comedic component but both have a message we can all learn from. Drop me a line and let me know what think.
I plan on posting an update by this weekend about recent project happenings. There’s a lot to tell! Expect updates to come regularly and more often from now on as the plan is to post at least once a week. I don’t want to spoil my weekend update so I’ll save all of the exciting information until then. But for now, note that we now have online donations working!
In the meantime, I ran across a song I think everyone will enjoy. I’ve been asked how I see the world on several occasions. Martin Luther King expresses all my thoughts in this song by Rx. Take a look at the link and be sure to download the song or stream it. The song is a compilation of audio clips from various speeches by MLK.
The world often speaks of the Israelis an Palestinians. Today, I received an email in which they speak for themselves. I’ve included the email I received below. Pray for the church in Israel and the Occupied Territories and consider fasting with them as they work for unity and understanding.
Here’s the text of the email:
To the youth, young people, students, and soldiers and anybody else who is feeling the call to join with us. On Sunday, July 1st, 2007, there went out a call to the youth and young people around the country from the youth in Jerusalem to take time to fast together during the summer months (until school starts) and seek God’s face, call for revival, spiritual revival, and call for change in the Schools, Universities, and in the Army.
The fast will be from food/meat/sweets and sugar/media as God leads you. The purposes of the fast are:
1. To call for a revival in our society, an outpouring of the spirit and repentance (Joel 2)
2. For the young generation in the country: that we would love them, that they would be saved, and that God would pour out his spirit on them.
3. Unity in the youth and young people and believers in the body in Israel. There is power in the unity between us when we have one heart and one vision (Acts 2)
We strive to have more than 500 young people participating in this fast. if you have any questions or you want to participate, please send an email to Joel.
“Then if my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear them from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
