Israeli Apartheid week, commemorated in South Africa this week provided a lucid and golden opportunity to highlight Israeli strong-arming, and South Africa’s opposition party stance towards human rights violations in Palestine.

The call to paint over a wall after being titled hate-speech by DA counselor Avrille Marcia Coen, though denied as the DA stance toward freedom of expression, proves the effectiveness of passive resistance in the form of art, journalism, boycotts and visible moral support. Often touted as white noise, passive resistance is the proverbial thorn in the claw of the bear, the David against Goliath.

Further, contrary to popular belief, respectful confrontational dialogue is not always a bad thing. Rather than tension and misgivings simmering under the surface, the DA’s explicitness in their ‘neutral’ stance toward the struggle of the Palestinian people, a struggle that is not religious, but universal, South African voters are in the powerful position to force the Democratic Alliance to alter their policy toward neutrality. Fence sitting is an overt way to rationalize Israel's racist laws and practices.

Those who oppose Israel being called an apartheid state say that Israel is no way representative of what South African’s underwent during apartheid. However, as mentioned by Judy Rebick, a country doesn't have to be exactly like South Africa to be characterized as an apartheid state, any more than a fascist state has to be exactly like Italy in the 1930's. If there are certain characteristics that define apartheid, Israel meets the vast majority of them. The United Nations General Assembly passed the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, which provides a useful definition that includes the phrase, "an institutionalised regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group." read more

Refuse to be Discouraged
Refuse to be Distressed
For when we are Despondent
Our life cannot be Blessed

For doubt, fear and Worry
Close the door to Faith and Prayer
For there’s no room for Blessings
When we’re lost in deep Despair

So remember when you’re Troubled
With uncertainty and Doubt
It is best to tell ALLAH
What our fear is all About

For unless we seek his Guidance
When troubled times Arise
We are bound to make Decisions
That are twisted and Unwise

But when we view our Problems
Through the eyes of ALLAH Above
Misfortunes turn to Blessings
And hatred turns to Love

There’s no problem too Big
And no question too Small
Just ask ALLAH in Faith
And he’ll answer them All

Not always at Once
So be patient and Wait
For ALLAH never Comes
Too soon or too Late

So trust in his Wisdom
And believe in his Word
For no prayers Unanswered
And no prayer Unheard.

Our neighbor loaned my husband his old chain saw to trim some tree branches. Unfortunately, the engine burned out while my husband was using it. Not wanting to return a broken piece of equipment, he bought a new saw to replace it. When I offered it to our neighbor, he thanked me but said, "Keep it. I'll borrow it when I need it." I was turning away when his eyes lit up. "Hey," he asked, "want to borrow my car?"
