My message to the international community is that our silence and complicity especially on the situation in Gaza shames us all. It is almost like the behaviour of the military junta in Burma

My father always used to say, "Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument."

We worshipped in the temple of cutthroat competition, and so some cooked the books, because the treasure is so great.

We are made for loving.

Forgiving is a gift to the forgiver as well as to the perpetrator.

I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid.

As much as the world has an instinct for evil and is a breeding ground for genocide, holocaust, slavery, racism, war, oppression, and injustice, the world has an even greateer instinct for goodness, rebirth, mercy, beauty, truth, freedom and love.
