A Liberation Story?

Let us encourage Israel to part the Green Line to end its occupation of Palestine. Let us fight to end the closure of the territories and the siege on Bethlehem. Let us fight to reopen the Palestinian universities which have been sealed off by the Israeli military. And most of all, let us believe that a just and lasting peace in the Middle East will come to be, “Bimhera, bimhera, beyameinu bekarov”: “Quickly, soon, in our lifetime.” The Passover story is history that is already made, but the story being told today does not have to end the same way.
