Beginning of essay below; please read the entirety (at Palestine Think Tank) here: http://palestinethinktank.com/2009/05/03/an-open-letter-to-caryl-churchill-from-a-palestinian-mother/
Palestinian Mothers are thanking you [Caryl Churchill] for your great contributions to peace and understanding. We support your calls for common sense and reminding everybody of what we have in common of unconditional love for our children, we support your mission; your words healed some of our wounds.http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/video/2009/apr/25/seven-jewish-children-caryl-churchill
Allow me to join you.. And tell her that….Tell her soon she will grow up like all young girls do, she will get married and become a mother…
Tell her blood is dearer than oil. Explain to her what kind of oil you are talking about; explain to her how many chocolate bars one can buy for the price of one bomb.
Tell her she should reject discrimination and call for equal rights for all when she grows up… No… do not tell her that now… discrimination is a big word… just tell her every human being is special and we are all equal, you might have to tell her why some people are more equal than others.
