Beit Arabiya, the house that had been demolished five times that
we helped (in a very minor way) to re-build in July, has been
demolished for a sixth time. There are many emotions going through me - anger, sadness, frustration, incredulity, discouragement. I wonder what it was like for the family when the soldiers came to demolish their home. I wonder where Arabiya, Salim and their children are going to sleep tonight, where their kids are doing their homework, where they're sharing meals together. Home is such an essential part of health.
As the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
says, "Beit Arabiya poses a challenge to everyone who believes that law and human rights should be the basis of our collective life, not power or violence." Work for peace must continue.
