A close friend of mine introduced me to the filmmaker Yuula Benivolski, who completed her separation from her homeland, Israel, from which she emigrated, 23 years ago, to the city of Toronto, in Canada.

To Wael Al-Dahdouh
Who is the elderly woman who came to you from one of the shelter schools in Gaza, bringing you bread with her? I followed what you had written about her with great attention and love. You described her visit to you with great care. You said that she advanced toward the tent, climbed four steps, ...
Read moreFrom One Victory to Another
She was sitting by the edge of a destroyed road, declaring, publicly, her victory over the war. She did not mean the whole war. The war is still raging in her country. But she meant the battle that she herself has been through. She said that she had prevailed. She was sincere, sincere before herself ...
Read moreIsrael Knows
A few days ago, a friend of mine showed me footage of a video song performed by some children in which they glorify the power of Israel, and call for the wiping out of Gaza “in a single year”. The song is bloody in its details, especially in its likening the people of Gaza to ...

Read moreDeliverance of the City
After the Divine Service on Sunday, one of the young men who help in the altar rushed to me. He was holding his phone open to a website publishing news about the Saint Porphyrios Church, in southern Gaza, the annexes of which had been demolished by Israel, a month ago, on its residents. This is ...
Read moreRoot of the Threat
A few days ago, a friend of mine handed me footage showing Israel’s destruction of fishermen’s boats on the shore of the Rafah sea. I would not be mitigating the injustice of what Israel is doing in Gaza today if I said: I was not surprised by what it did. I am not limiting myself ...
