Dear Hedva, I asked Prof. Mazin to write the short (to 1 page) review about the ABC of Harmony (see below). Please, let us read and your review on this book also, asap. Is it possible for you? Thank you. GHA will not publish or discuss any unilateral accusations, criticism and hostile attacks - it is forbidden by the GHA Constitution, our Mission and internal information order. We will publish and discuss only your peace ideas to ensure harmony between you personally, and between your nations. To your peoples remain only eternal war and strife, if you, their best intellectuals, can not talk to each other about anything else except the war. Can you take a war and enmity for the brackets of your mind and intellectual communication, at least temporarily, and to express your ideas about peace and harmony of your religions and peoples? As you know, the war begins in the mind. Peace and harmony also begin in the mind. If you will be able to write reviews about the ABC of Harmony, the GHA next step will be to invite each of you to write the 2-3 pages with your ideas of peace and harmony, ONLY. They are attended at you? If yes, please, show them to us, ONLY them. You constantly feed us your hostile ideas. Please, let us try and taste your peaceful and harmonious ideas. Have you them? Is it possible for you to glad us with a decent, but not obnoxious spiritual food? We would be very grateful to you for this food and fresh breath of spiritual air of peace and harmony from you both. Thank you very much for that and only that! We are waiting for that!

While I tried to understand the other side of Palestinians, maybe not all, but really tried to in What I have written, this person is full of hate and one sided convictions. He is a perfect example of hate propaganda. I am a mother of a son who was long ago wounded , much before the Gaza war. He almost lost his sight and had a concussion and broken parts of face by a "stone" thrown by a youngster, while he was gathering the people under his command to try and save them. Big stones also kill, you know??! Thanks God my son was saved, while many of his friends were not. Still I, and my son and his family, want peace. This man, Mazin Qumsiyeh, I believe that he works at a Palestinian propaganda center. He has written to me hateful e.mails before. I have already started thinking ( which I thought long ago) of both parties reconstructing their homes and working together for a better future. But, Dr. Semashko, you must understand that without giving up terror, and without neglecting the conviction that they can destroy us, there can be no cooperation. As I wrote, there can be a solution for two independent states under the cover of some common upper institutions which will legally regulate the differences between the nations. However, if I want to write an article ( this is a longer article than you suggested, as many aspects should be covered) Please find another broad thinker with whom to write such an article. When a person can not get out of his hateful propaganda, and not think about the welfare of all people in the Middle east, with such a person it is hard for me to converse. My darling Kae, thank you for your words. I am honored. Mr. Mazin should take example of the poet and artist Kae Morii, whose family was terribly harmed in the Atom Bomb in Hiroshima, and she travels around the world speaking of PEACE!! not HATE and Slander, Mr. Qumsiyeh. You say my ideas are regurgitation of mythologies?? Well have you ever had in your propaganda any constructive Idea to end this conflict, except slander?? I am very sorry for your people in prison. I wish not one of them would be there. But stop the acts of Terror or preparing for terror - which has raised its ugly head all over the world. Your side does not want to condemn terror, and it never stops it ...We have got out of the Gaza strip and have taken all our settlements out, so it is not "an occupied territory" and for 7 years they have sent missiles which kill and harm our civil population, without considering that they harm children and parents, it is not important to them; in their hate and blindness - so why do you blame us for trying to protect ourselves ???? And by the way do you understand the meaning of "Zionist"?? Zion is just another name for Jerusalem which is holy for both our nations, so this makes you also a Zionist! H. Dear Mazin, Dr. Hedva is wonderful professor and woman poet. Not Mr. but Ms. or Dr. Love, Kae Morii From: Mazin Qumsiyeh Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 3:11 PM To: Leo Semashko Cc: hedgad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; gha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; peace-from-harmony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; Kae Morii Subject: Re: [HumanRights] Samer near death and more + Your Joint Article aboit Intefaith Harmony of Palestinian and Jewish nations Dear Leo The article you shared is simply a regurgitation of mythologies that even intelligent Zionists have long abandoned. Even a Zionist historian like Benny Morris documented the processes of history that surrounded the creation of Israel etc. But even the regurgitation was done rather crudely and without much thought or even proper language. It is actually rather childish rants similar to those that the extremist settlers in Hebron say as they attack native Palestinians, foreign visitors, diplomats, and media. Mr Hedva would do well to read a bit of history so that his propaganda efforts would be a little more credible and perhaps worthy of an individualized response. For answers to his myths and many more similar myths, may I suggest he look at this http://qumsiyeh.org/liesandtruths/ Now for the issue of harmony between religions and nations etc. That is a more worthy issue. But there are many books and voluminous articles written on the subject. I myself wrote two books and over 100 articles that deal with the subject and published in many widely read journals etc. I also read many other books and can recommend a few including by Jewish intellectuals (e.g. Marc Ellis, Out of the Ashes; Mark Braverman, Judas Magnes, etc). See also http://qumsiyeh.org/openletterbygeorgesalzman/ http://qumsiyeh.org/answertorosenfeld/ http://qumsiyeh.org/einsteinetalonbegin/ I do not believe in reinventing the wheel. Perhaps publishing some of the existing articles or selections from the existing books on your website maybe helpful to your readers. Finally, I caution people from equating oppressed with oppressor, colonized with colonizers. This is a common error and a tool of the oppressor. In South Africa under apartheid, the struggle was not between black and white people but between those who supported apartheid (black and white) and those who opposed it (black and white). In the struggles in Europe between 1932-1945 it was not between a "German Nation" and a "Jewish nation" but between humans who opposed racism and those who supported it (including leading Zionists who collaborated with Nazi Germany*). * See Jewish authors Lenni Brenner, 51 Documents: History of Nazi Zionist Collaboration; Edwin Black, The Transfer Agreement; Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry; Naeim Giladi, Ben Gurion's scandals) Best Mazin Qumsiyeh On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 7:32 AM, Leo Semashko <leo.semashko@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear Dr. Mazin, Thanks you for your information. Please, let me invite you to review Dr. Bachrach’s article in the attachment and write joint paper about opportunities for interfaith harmony of Palestinian and Jewish nations as the first condition for sustainable peace between them. Could you both write this paper in 4-6 pages (on 2-3 pages for everybody of you) with title: Opportunities for Interfaith Harmony of Palestinian and Israelite Nations? I will be happy to publish this article in the GHA Project of Interfaith Harmony (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=541), which we created within the UN World Interfaith Harmony Week. Do you recognize this UN Week? - And the opportunities for World Interfaith Harmony? Or you recognize only eternal war between your religions and nations? Your joint article will be affirmation of your both peaceful priorities and efforts but do not militaristic and disharmonious ones. The GHA will be happy to discuss your joint peaceful and harmonious paper and no any other. It is possible for you both as very worthy scientists, intellectual, thinkers and humanists? Could you both reply on ONE principal question for your nations: WHAT make for PEACE between them? HOW maybe PEACE among your nations? The GHA very long response: ONLY through common harmonious education (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=461). Do you agree with it? Maybe you both must concentrate your time and efforts in this direction on all 100% but no mutual accusations, which are infinite? What is your priority: peace or war? Who are you: peacemakers or militarists? We, GHA, very want to hope that you are peacemakers that will be proved your joint article in the GHA Interfaith Harmony Project. We are very waiting it. You could discuss this key question for you on the GHA Forum, devoted to Interfaith Harmony here: http://www.forum.peacefromharmony.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2049. It is very good place for your public peaceful dialog.

Samer and others were released as part of an exchange of prisoners and then Israel rearrested/kidnapped them under the unlawful system of "administrative detention" without charge or trial. Samer's brother Shadi was also arrested on Sunday in a way to pressure Samer and the family. *Please do write to officials in your country asking that they demand Israel comply with its own prisoner agreements and with international humanitarian laws*].
